I knew that Ouyang's identity must be very important. Seeing Qiao Qiao's father nodded slightly to me imperceptibly, I immediately understood what he meant.
"It's like this, Mr. Ouyang, I did encounter some troubles... related to Qinghong." I said something tentatively, and then looked at Ouyang's expression.
Ouyang's expression was very calm, but when I mentioned the word "Qinghong", a calm smile flashed in his eyes.
He raised his hand and waved it, immediately, all the caddies beside him backed away, and then Ouyang pointed to a few wicker chairs under the shade of a tree in the distance: "No hurry, let's sit down and talk. "
The three of us went to the rattan chair and sat down, and soon someone delivered a box of cigars, probably at the order of Qiao Qiao's father, but this Ouyang didn't use cigars, but someone specially brought an old-fashioned pipe to him. He clicks.
"Chen Yang." Ouyang took a puff of cigarette and looked at me: "Actually, I have heard of your name a long time ago. You are very famous! Today's young people can have such achievements at your age. I haven't seen any of them... Well, maybe some of the children from aristocratic families are good, but they can't compare to you who started from scratch."
I smiled: "Mr. Ouyang is absurd."
"I never praise people indiscriminately." Ouyang shook his head, and then looked at me: "Actually, I know something about you... Well, let me explain first. If you are looking for me to help you mediate between you and Qinghong people You don’t have to say anything about the grievances at the beginning of the prefix. I, Ouyang, don’t have that much face. You turned his only son into a eunuch. I can’t resolve this kind of hatred of severing my grandson. It’s not me who refuted Old Qiao For the sake of saving face, I can't control this matter."
I was taken aback by what he said. Qiao Qiao's father next to him immediately said: "Ouyang, you are also confused. Is my old Qiao the kind of thing that doesn't know the severity? Don't worry, the purpose of my coming to you is not to ask you to help mediate that matter. I I also know that that matter is a deadlock, which cannot be resolved by others."
"That's good." Ouyang's expression remained unchanged: "I say and do things, one is one, and the other is two. If I can help, as long as I agree, I will naturally not refuse. But if I can't help, don't blame me for refusing face."
"Mr. Ouyang." I took a deep breath: "This matter just happened this afternoon. Let me explain something first. After I finish speaking, you don't have to give Mr. Qiao face. I don't want to let this matter Mr. Qiao is in a dilemma. I just beg him to help me connect, so that I can talk to the upper management of Qinghong. No matter what happens when I say it later, at least you can sit down and listen to me today, which is also a great help to me. As for whether you will help or not after finishing speaking. Whether everyone is an enemy or a friend in the future, it will be up to you, and I, Chen Yang, have no complaints."
I said neither humble nor overbearing, Qiao Qiao's father couldn't help sighing after hearing this, and winked at me again and again, meaning that I should not speak so harshly.
Sure enough, a cold light flashed in Ouyang's eyes, and his eyes seemed to be staring at me with interest behind the lens: "Ha! What a young man! You know, I haven't heard such words for a long time. Hmm …Is it an enemy or a friend, are you threatening me? Do you think I won’t dare to touch you? Do you know that the last person who dared to speak to me in this tone has already eaten ingot candles in the ground.”
My expression remained unchanged, and I stared straight at him: "Of course I don't dare, and I don't mean to threaten you. I can somewhat guess the identity of Mr. Ouyang. With your identity, how could you be threatened by me? My little achievement is nothing compared to Mr. Ouyang's deep roots. However, I am definitely not the one who is wrong about what I want to talk about! I just suffered an unreasonable disaster. , I helped others to take the blame. I have no intention of being an enemy of Qinghong, but if Qinghong insists on finding trouble with me, I have no reason to sit still... What I said is always right? Mr. Ouyang, you see ?”
Ouyang squinted his eyes and looked at me, his expression was bright and dark. After a while, he suddenly smiled and looked back at Qiao Qiao's father: "Okay! Old Qiao, your junior is very interesting! Well, this son It will become a big weapon in the future.”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and looked at me: "Okay, Chen Yang, tell me, what is it?"
I sighed, and then I was invited by Shen Shan to meet this afternoon, and then everything that happened in Shen Shan's nightclub, Shen Shan was assassinated, the second leader colluded with Ye Huan, I killed the second leader, and then I was misunderstood as The murderer, running away all the way, etc., this series of things have been said.
Of course, Shen Shan's secrets are a matter of the people in the big circle, so I naturally concealed it. I just said that I had some misunderstandings with Shen Shan when I was in the hotel, and Shen Shan knew that I knew Qiao Qiao's father, so he didn't touch me rashly, but asked me to talk to him and give him an explanation. That said, it makes sense.
As I said that, I carefully looked at the expression on Ouyang's face. This middle-aged man is obviously the type who doesn't show his emotions or anger. His eyes are hidden behind the glasses, but he doesn't show any emotion. Even when I mentioned Shen Shan's death, he only slightly raised his eyebrows, and then returned to normal.
After I finished speaking in one breath, Ouyang remained silent. After a long time, he nodded: "Well, in this way, Shen Shan is dead, isn't it?"
"Yes. Just about two hours ago." I sighed.
"Shen Shan's subordinates, the second boss... well, you killed it, right?"
"Yes." I nodded.
Ouyang closed his eyes, as if thinking carefully for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he didn't speak to me immediately, but raised his hand, and immediately, one of his subordinates came to him, bowed his head and bowed his head come over.
"Go and find me the person in charge of delivering the news in Shanghai..." Ouyang looked at his watch: "I want to see him appear in front of my eyes within thirty minutes."
Ouyang's subordinates nodded immediately, and then left expressionlessly.
Ouyang didn't talk to me either, he just smoked quietly, occasionally lightly turned the pipe over and over to buckle the ashes, and then took a sip of tea, but he never spoke.
Jojo's father and I glanced at each other, but we didn't speak a word.
Half an hour passed quickly, and now the sun was about to set, and the sky had already darkened, but Ouyang didn't seem to want to move, but leaned on the chair more leisurely.
After a while, Ouyang's subordinates were seen striding over in the distance, followed by a person.
When the two of them came to us, I saw clearly that the person brought by Ouyang's men was a fat man in a brown suit. This fat man was sweating profusely at the moment, and he wiped his sweat nervously as he walked. After seeing Ouyang, Suddenly his legs went limp, and he knelt down with a plop.
Ouyang didn't speak, just picked up the teacup in front of him, drank the tea in it in one gulp, then slowly took off his glasses, took out a lens cleaning cloth from his pocket, and wiped it gently, his movements were gentle Slowly, with a calm face, but the fat man kneeling there seemed to be out of his wits with fright, trembling all over his body, his face was covered with cold sweat, but he didn't even dare to wipe it off.
"Shen Shan is dead, do you know?" Ouyang said softly.
"Ge Ge Ge Ge Ge... I know." Fatty's teeth were chattering, and he reluctantly answered.
"This happened more than two hours ago." Ouyang sighed, he put on his glasses again, and looked at the fat man in front of him: "It's such a big thing, but I just got the news. And, it's still news from outsiders."
"Ge Ge Ge Ge Ge..." The fat man didn't dare to speak, his teeth continued to chatter.
Ouyang snorted, raised his chin, and looked at the subordinate he sent out just now: "Where did you find him?"
That subordinate came over and whispered something in Ouyang's ear. After hearing these words, Ouyang's face immediately darkened, his face was full of coldness!
"Okay, very good!" His tone was cold: "I give you millions of dollars every year, let you bear the news here in Shanghai, let you keep an eye on Shen Shan... In the end, such a big thing happened, Shen Shan's body It’s getting cold, but you’re still on a woman’s bed!!”
"Mr. Ouyang..." The fat man was about to cry. He rubbed his knees on the ground a few times, almost wishing he could come up and hug Ouyang's thigh. No preparation... I am loyal to you, and I never dare to slack off in the slightest, but today... "
"It's just today, it's an accident, isn't it?" Ouyang said lightly.
The fat man nodded again and again, but Ouyang sneered and said: "Your responsibility is that such a big thing happened, but I didn't get any report. Instead, an outsider told me the news! Huh, just a few hours... You know, In just a few hours, how much things can change! You... "
When Ouyang said this, he suddenly raised his hand, and the men beside him immediately took out a gun from their arms and handed it to him.
Ouyang stood up, walked to the fat man's side with the gun in his hand, and said coldly: "No one can violate the rules I set! Do you understand what I mean?"
"...Ming, I understand!" Fatty suddenly raised his head, his face was ashen, and there was despair in his eyes.
"Very good." Ouyang held the gun, and gently pressed the muzzle against the fat man's forehead: "I will take care of your family, and I will continue to support your children who are studying in Europe. You... don't worry. "
The fat man was still trembling, but he took the gun in Ouyang's hand tremblingly, then gritted his teeth, and put the muzzle of the gun into his mouth, his fingers were trembling, but he finally touched the trigger.
I was shocked, but Qiao Qiao's father beside him had already turned his head away and sighed softly.
…
boom!
With a clear gunshot, the fat man's body fell to the ground, and the lawn on the ground was stained with blood...
Ouyang glanced at his subordinate, and suddenly said: "Cheng Xiao, how long have you been with me?"
"Thirteen years and nine months." The subordinate answered quickly.
Ouyang nodded and pointed to the corpse on the ground: "Carry him down... you will be responsible for the affairs of Shanghai in the future. You will take over his house, car, location... don't let me down."
The subordinate showed ecstasy on his face, knelt down on the spot, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr. Ouyang! I will definitely not let you down!"
Ouyang stopped looking at him, but waved to me: "Chen Yang, come and have a cup of tea with me." He looked at Qiao Qiao's father again: "Old Qiao, I'm sorry, but your A place is stained with blood. And... I will borrow your junior for a while, you won't object, will you?"
Qiao Qiao's father laughed: "Mr. Ouyang thinks highly of him, it's his honor, how can I object?"
…
I followed behind Ouyang without saying a word. What happened just now made my heart still unable to calm down.
It's not that I haven't seen dead people, and it's not that I haven't killed people and seen blood. It's just that this Ouyang looks so gentle and elegant, and he was playing golf together with a smiley smile a while ago, but when he killed someone, he turned his face ruthlessly, killed decisively, without any hesitation, rewarded and punished with discretion, full of the true qualities of a hero!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that such a gentle and gentle middle-aged man would be such a character? !
I followed Ouyang away, then took the battery car out of the golf course, came indoors, and then we two went to the dressing room to change our casual clothes, and followed Ouyang to an antique hotel decorated with Chinese style. where. The tables and chairs here are all carved from tree roots, with a touch of ancient charm in nature, which is full of flavor.
Ouyang and I were sitting face to face. On a table carved from a huge tree root in front of us, there was a set of Kung Fu tea set. Ouyang and I had cleaned our hands and changed our clothes at this moment. We were the only two in the huge room. His men were waiting outside.
Ouyang fiddled with the gap in front of him calmly, washed the cup, smelled the fragrance, a set of procedures were meticulous, and after pouring me tea at the end, he said with a smile: "Pinpin."
Without hesitation, I picked it up and drank it in one gulp: "Very good, very fragrant!"
Ouyang smiled, and said: "Don't talk about politeness... Hehe, in fact, you must be thinking in your heart, why do these underworld bosses like the whole set of Kung Fu tea things. They are all doing business for killing people, but they just like the story Classy, isn't it?"
I froze for a moment, then smiled wryly: "This... I thought about it before. But now I don't think so."
"Oh?" Ouyang glanced at me.
"Yes." I said frankly: "Actually, Mr. Ouyang, I am also a member of the underworld. I naturally understand... Once you go this way, there is no turning back. There are several underworld leaders in the world. In the end, is it possible to die of old age on the bed and get a good death? Killing... Killing kills a lot, and how many of them are not stained with blood on their hands? It's just that the more people kill, the more murderous they become. If one is not careful, the heart will be There will be problems. Either you will become a cold-blooded person, or you will become addicted to killing, and you will die sooner in the end! In this way, if you want to sit still, you must maintain a normal heart! There is no place for a murderous aura Vent, sooner or later, this normal heart can no longer be maintained. In foreign countries, the bosses of the underworld actually have their own private psychologists! According to what I know, the boss of the Canadian Hells Angels, Mr. Sorin, We have our own private psychiatrist, as well as the godfather of the Gambino family in the United States... However, we Chinese are different from those foreigners. We are not interested in finding a psychiatrist to adjust psychological pressure. But our ancestors left it to us There are a lot of things, writing, playing chess and drinking tea, everything is a good way to calm down and nourish the spirit. It's a pity that I am a rough person, and I can't even learn to write, play chess and drink tea. But Mr. Ouyang can get such a skill Good tea art is admirable. Naturally, I admire your skill in nourishing qi!"
Ouyang laughed. He seemed very satisfied with what I said. He shook his sleeves and said, "Let's drink tea."
Then he glanced at me again: "You are very strange. When I heard about you, I only knew that you made the guy with the initials terrific. Later, Ye Huan turned against you and seemed to be with you. It has something to do with it... And you have managed to create such a large fortune in Canada. Among the young people I met, you are definitely a leader. Sigh... We are all old, maybe within five years, Among the younger generation, there is no one who can sit on an equal footing with you."
I couldn't answer these words, I just smiled and didn't speak.
"Chen Yang, it's just you and me now. What we say here today, you and I say it, you and I hear it, and it will never fall into the ears of the third person, do you understand?"
"Understood." I remained calm.
"You must know my identity by now." Ouyang smiled faintly and glanced at me.
"I know a little bit." I nodded.
"Well, my surname is Ouyang, and my single name has the word Ji. Now under Qinghong, I am the owner of the initials of the land." Ouyang smiled: "Old Qiao, he has been my friend for many years."
I had expected it. At the beginning, Qiaoqiao's father told me that he and the big boss at the prefix were friends at the poker table, and they often played mahjong together. But today, when they were chatting just now, I heard them say that they were going to play mahjong together tonight, so I guessed it.
"I already know what happened today. It has nothing to do with you. You just had bad luck. You encountered such unlucky things... Hehe." Ouyang smiled: "I just want to ask you a few questions now, You answer me honestly."
"Excuse me, Mr. Ouyang." I sighed.
"How about Shen Shan?" I didn't expect that Ouyang's first question would be to Shen Shan, a dead man.
I thought about it for a while: "Smart and cunning, hidden... the overall situation is also very good."
Ouyang smiled, looked at me, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes: "I'm afraid you missed a few words... He is as greedy as a jackal, as cunning as a fox and a rabbit. Good luck avoids bad luck, but it's a pity... the eyesight of seeing people is a bit worse. Otherwise, this person's evaluation will be higher."
I am silent and speechless.
"Well, Shen Shan has worked for your big circle for so many years, and now he is dead, who is your big circle going to send to take over the business from Shanghai?"
"?!"
Ouyang's words made me almost stand up! !
Although I tried my best to hide my expression, but failed, I still showed a hint of shock.
But Ouyang pursed his lips and smiled: "Is it strange? There is no impenetrable wall in the world. This guy Shen Shan is swaying on both sides, making money on both sides. How can he hide this matter for a while? Hmph, it's just that I did nothing about this matter before. He used to be the shopkeeper of Herringbone, what good would it do for me to tell the truth? Hmph... "
I sighed: "It turns out that Mr. Ouyang knew about it a long time ago."
"Well, I'm not surprised that Shen Shan asked you to meet today." Ouyang said with a smile: "One is the head of the big circle in Canada, and the other is the dark chess player in the local big circle. Your meeting is also the meaning of the question."
I was suppressed by Ouyang for a long time, so I couldn't help stabbing him, and then smiled: "Well, yes. Mr. Ouyang knows Shen Shan quite well. If I guessed right, Shen Shan didn't He is willing to vote for Ye Huan, but he is not loyal to the initials. Thinking about it, he has secretly fallen under Mr. Ouyang's command."
Ouyang laughed, and said: "You know this matter, it seems that Shen Shan told you. That's right... Although Shen Shan is not good at seeing people, he can still see through the situation. He is a man He is not a guy who is willing to be a loyal minister. Ye Huan's time is not long, and his initials are like closed dew. He naturally wants to find a good way out. I won't hide it from you, if there is nothing today, then within a month, Shen Shan will change his name and surname, and officially change from the initials of people to my initials." Speaking of this, he sighed: "It's a pity...it's a pity!"
I didn't say anything, I picked up the teacup in front of me, and took another sip sullenly.
Ouyang's eyes flickered, he looked at me and said with a smile: "Speaking of revenge, when you were not making a fortune, Qinghong did issue the No. 1 hunting order and chased you everywhere. But this time, the other time. Now, No one is a fool, and no one will come to fight against you because of the personal grievances of the owner of the initials. After all, you have a different status now. What happened today... "
I have figured it out now, raised my head and looked at Ouyang with a smile, and said, "Mr. Ouyang, there is no need to go around the corner. You can just make a bid. We might as well set the conditions and say, what can you give me, and what do you want?" What are you asking for. It's getting late now, and I'm afraid Mr. Qiao is already anxiously waiting for us to have dinner."
"Haha!" Ouyang clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "You are a wonderful person! Well, I won't play riddles with you anymore, let's just say it... You black pot, although it seems troublesome to outsiders, but in Me, it's just a matter of one sentence, so I can help you get rid of this crime. But I don't know, how can you repay me, Chen Yang, if I help you so much?"
I thought to myself: Here we come!
