In the morning, I just woke up, took a shower, shaved, and put on a clean set of clothes, the weather in Canada is still very cold, especially in October, I put on a leather coat and shoes Very bright. Then I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself for a while, satisfied with the person in the mirror, and then I went out.
Ciro was already standing at the door, and the brothers who came back from Vietnam with me this time were all standing outside.
We went back to the garage last night, this morning, Ba Ye wants to see us.
Although no one told me to, when we walked out, except for Xi Luo who followed me, the other seven or eight brothers seemed to be used to walking behind me. This feeling made me very happy. A sense of accomplishment, but soon I turned my head to look at them, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you all sleepy and your legs are weak? Why are you walking so slowly?"
I slowed down, raised my hand casually to put on a brother's shoulder, and gave him a light thump at the same time.
I know that although I have initially established my prestige among these people, now is not the time for me to show off.
Ba Ye still didn't return to the garage today, but we got in the car and went to Ba Ye's residence.
The driver was a young man who looked nervous. I don't know this young man, he seems to belong to the Eighth Master's family - this makes me feel a little bit emotional.
When Tiger was still alive, all these things were done by Tiger.
I felt that this young man couldn't help but secretly look at me along the way, there was excitement in his eyes. Holding the steering wheel in his hand, his body was tense, obviously very nervous.
"What's wrong?" I smiled.
"Little Wu... oh no, I mean, Brother Xiao Wu!" He immediately said excitedly: "I've heard a lot about you... I... I admire you very much."
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder from behind: "Drive carefully."
"Don't worry!" The young man seemed very excited: "I saw the scene where you killed the sand tiger the other day...you are great!"
I smiled and looked into his eyes through the side-view mirror. After a second, I was sure that this was a pure young man with pure respect and some impulsiveness in his eyes.
So I asked, "Have you been with Ba Ye all the time? I don't think I've seen you before."
"Yeah." The young man nodded, and he thought for a while: "I've been staying by Ba Ye's side to take care of his old man. It turns out Brother Tiger is our boss, but it's a pity..." There was a trace of sadness in his eyes.
I didn't speak, just sighed.
The publicly announced news is: Tiger died in Vietnam in order to perform his mission.
This is a public statement to the outside world. And now the only ones who know the truth are me and Ciro.
Of course, there is also Baye himself.
Looking at the sadness in the young man's eyes, I suddenly whispered: "How does it feel to be with Ba Ye?"
"Very good." He smiled, but then felt a little helpless: "But I still want to come out and do something... It's best to be by your side! You are doing big things!" He seemed to realize that he was a little too excited, a little He restrained his tone and said in a low voice: "Many of our brothers respect you very much."
"Of course!" A brother next to me said proudly, "That sand tiger, that double-boned red stick, over the years, I don't know how many masters have been disabled... In the end, on the stage, three times and two times, we were beaten by us. Brother Wu killed it! Hehe!"
I shook my head, smiled, and just glanced at the young man driving in front: "What's your name?"
"My friends call me little pig." He smiled, a little embarrassed: "Because I can sleep and eat..."
I nodded: "If you want to do something with me, you may have a chance in the future."
…
There are several places where Ba Ye lives, and he usually doesn't live in the same place for a long time. This is also for safety.
We drove all the way to the pier, and then on the pier, I saw Baye's yacht parked by the pier, the white paint was very new.
This is a standard luxury yacht, not in the same breath as the dilapidated boats in Vietnam.
A group of us boarded the boat, and I saw four or five crew members on board, all of whom were young people. Everyone had capable expressions on their faces and quick movements.
It seems that Ba Ye still has some good subordinates around him.
Ba Ye was wearing a nightgown, and he was sitting on the upper deck of the yacht, with the sea breeze blowing, sitting on a chair.
In front of him was a dining table with his breakfast on it. It was a piece of veal loin roasted medium rare, with a glass of milk, and a small half of honeydew melon.
Ba Ye held a table knife in his hand and was concentrating on cutting meat. When we came to him, he just said in a very calm tone: "Sit down."
I feel that Ba Ye seems to have lost some weight.
He gently cut the sirloin on the plate without lifting his head. Immediately, a crew member moved a few chairs beside me, and I sat down first. The other brothers around me hesitated for a while. Only Xi Luo sat next to me, and the other brothers stood behind me consciously...
I noticed that at this moment, there was an imperceptible surprise in Ba Ye's eyes, but he concealed it very well.
Ba Ye finally raised his head, put the last piece of sirloin into his mouth, chewed it thoroughly, swallowed it, took another sip of milk, then sighed, then raised his head to look at us, and said with a smile: "Sorry, When people are old, they must know some ways to maintain their health... I don't like to talk when I eat, because it will affect digestion."
Immediately, he waved his hand, and immediately a crew member came over and took down the tableware in front of him, Ba Ye leaned on the chair, his eyes turned around us, and finally fell on me: "How about Vietnam? "
"Fortunately, everything is done." I replied firmly.
"Well, I know." Ba Ye smiled and said, "I've met Hong Da... This time you've done a good job. The effect is beyond my expectation... But why did you stay in Vietnam? return?"
I smiled.
I stayed in Vietnam because of Tiger's female killer. But to mention the female killer must involve the fact that Tiger is a traitor. Tiger's identity as a traitor is kept secret within the organization and cannot be announced to the public, otherwise it will damage the morale of the brothers.
So I started to think of an excuse: "I met some Vietnamese gang members at the airport. It was an emergency and I couldn't get on the plane. I had to run out."
"Yeah." Ba Ye didn't ask further, he was silent for a while, looked at the sea beside him, sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "It's just a pity for Tiger..."
I noticed that everyone around me showed regretful and dejected expressions, even the crew members around Ba Ye.
Ba Ye was in a trance... I saw a trace of complicated eyes flashing in his eyes.
I think that although Tiger's death has something to do with Eighth Master, at this time, he will inevitably think of Tiger's kindness to him back then.
People are like this.
"Okay, over the years, many old brothers have gone." Ba Ye's tone was a little dull: "Now that Tiger is gone, there is one less person around me who can help me share my worries... And there is the matter of the garage … well."
The atmosphere was a little dull.
Ba Ye rubbed his cheeks, then smiled: "Sometimes people feel too much emotion when they are old." Then he cheered up: "Okay, you all worked hard in Vietnam, especially Xi Luo and Xiaowu. You two have done a good job this time. Here, we do things with clear rewards and punishments. If you make meritorious service, you will naturally be rewarded." He smiled and took a piece of paper from the crew beside him. Throw me the electronic car key.
As soon as I caught it, I heard Ba Ye laughing and said: "Xiao Wu, this car is for you. You will definitely like it."
"Thank you, Baye." I said in a respectful tone.
"And Xi Luo..." Ba Ye thought for a while: "Before you went to Vietnam, I made an arrangement that after you came back, I planned to hand over the land left by Shahu to Tiger, and you Go to be his deputy... Now, Tiger is dead... You... You are too young after all, I am worried that you can't cover that territory by yourself. How about this, you and Xiao Wu will take over that territory together Take it up. If there is anything, the two of you can discuss it yourself, and you don’t need to report some small things to me.”
I glanced at Ciro and realized he was looking at me too. There was some surprise and surprise in Ciro's eyes, and we nodded together: "Yes."
I have a little bit of vigilance in my heart...
What's the purpose of Eight Master's arrangement
Xi Luo and I discussed being the master... But he didn't explain who will be the boss and who will be the second child!
On any site, it is impossible to have two bosses at the same time, right? This is against the rules! When two people disagree, who do you listen to
Does he want to...
I frowned. Could it be that Ba Ye wanted to deliberately let the two of us restrain each other
"There's also the matter of the garage..." Ba Ye raised his fingers lightly on the table a few times. I know that this is his habitual action every time he makes an important decision.
Garage...
Tiger has always been in charge of the garage. Now that Tiger is dead, and my reputation among my brothers is soaring, will he hand over the garage to me
My heart skipped a beat.
