After October, the temperature in City B dropped at an exaggerated rate.
Shi Jin looked at the school door that was approaching outside the car window, exhaled lightly, and asked, "Who is next?"
The driving Gua Wu glanced at him and was silent.
"You had a temporary meeting yesterday. After the meeting came out, Lian Jun's expressions were okay, but your expressions were all very ugly... It has been decided, right, who is it? Let me be mentally prepared." Shi Jin turned his head. , Look at him in the rearview mirror.
Gua Wu hurriedly looked away, parked the car steadily at the school gate, and stood in a stalemate with him for a while. There was a slightly pitiful embarrassment on his simple face, his mouth opened, and he replied, "It's me."
"What?" Shi Jin Shou sat up.
"The tarantula sent the list. Gua Jiu is'dead.' With Jun Shao's style of dealing with things, he must retaliate severely. The tarantula does need to pay something to gain the complete trust of Meng Qing and Qi Yun. … Shao Jun asked me to'kill' the people on the list sent by the tarantula, and send them to be with Gua Jiu. After that... I have to go.” Gua Wu replied, turning around and looking at it suddenly. Shi Jin promised, "Shi Shao, don't worry, I will come back again and will not let you and Jun Shao face the future alone."
"Don't come back!" Shijin yelled out these words almost sternly. Seeing his expression darkened, he hurriedly eased his tone and said, "After it's safe, don't come back for the time being, until everyone is completely safe. Then... No, forget about us and live your own life."
"Shi Shao." Gua Wu frowned, his expression tense.
Shi Jin stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, pressed it down, and said, "Don't let Lian Jun's efforts go in vain, let's go, and be safe." After speaking, he smiled at him, picked up his backpack, and opened the door. The car left without looking back.
Gua Wu watched him leave, clenched his fists, and smashed the steering wheel.
…
Lu Shan quickly determined the identity of the person they shot, and from the computer and mobile phone that the person left behind, intercepted some of the information that the system hadn't had time to destroy.
She was so excited that she said at the meeting: "We killed it, but it was the new generation of Gua Jiu who was always hiding behind the scenes, helping Lian Jun to collect and investigate all kinds of information and data! This person actually followed Lian Jun to participate in the previous two years. In the April meeting, he showed his face in front of everyone, but because he always followed behind Gua 1 and Gua 2, I thought he was just a subordinate of Gua 1 and Gua 2, and didn’t pay much attention to him. As a result, Unexpectedly, he is actually Gua Jiu! Lian Jun really won't bring useless people by his side!"
"Sure he is Gua Jiu? Will he be too young." Meng Qing was a little skeptical.
"Absolutely, I remember that at the meeting the year before last, this person was always following Shijin. At that time, Shijin was just a newcomer who appeared at the meeting for the first time. The person who mixed up with him, everyone took it for granted that he must be a man. A small role that is not very important, but now you see, is Shijin's position in the end not important? Then how could the people who followed him at that time really be a small role." Lushan said very much. Affirmative, and then took out a tablet, "It contains information intercepted from Gua Jiu’s computer and mobile phone, and these things also indirectly prove his identity. Now Lian Jun must have known the news of Gua Jiu’s death and guessed it. When we get this part of the information, before he responds to it, I will use this to make him suffer!"
Hearing Shijin's name, Meng Qing was slightly persuaded, but he did not immediately express his opinion. Instead, he looked at Qi Yun and asked, "What do you think?"
Qi Yun said: "After being passively beaten for so long, it is indeed time for us to fight back, Lu Shan, can you pass me a copy of the information you got?"
"Of course!" Lu Shan responded, glanced at them, and said, "Next, it's time for close cooperation."
…
Before he could wait for the next week's holiday, Gua Wu left alone in an early morning. When Shi Jin checked his mobile phone after the morning training, he saw a farewell text message from Gua Wu. The text contained only one sentence: I am gone, I will be back.
He read this text message for a long time, then moved his finger to delete the contact information of Gua Wu.
…
The tarantula suddenly also participated in the economic pull battle between Mi, Meridian and Snake Fang, and steadily removed several hidden piles buried in X and LD areas, and destroyed Mi's attempt in X and DL. A harassment network established secretly in the district.
The turbulent business network of Wumen and Snakeya was slightly settled down. The two took advantage of the situation to spread the bite of Mie in the X and DL areas, and Chiba and Tarantula actively helped.
In less than half a month, the dark lines that disappeared in these two areas were almost pulled up by the tarantula, and the business was all disrupted by the Meridian Gate and Snake Fang, and they had to temporarily close the offensive.
"Do you want to take advantage of the victory? Now that most of the dark lines in the X and DL areas are pulled out, and the business network is unstable, we may be able to take the opportunity to eat this part of the business." Yuan Peng actively proposed, full of eagerness to try , He has suffered enough from insufficient resources. If he can bite off the dead flesh, the snake's teeth will be stabilized!
Lu Shan didn't say against or support, but looked at Meng Qing, and it was very obvious that he made his decision.
"Chasing!" Meng Qing made a decision, full of pride, "Taking advantage of this momentum, he directly destroyed most of the foreign business networks! See how it still sits first!"
…
When November came, city B began to rain continuously, and the weather became wet and cold. Fei Yujing, who had already recovered from his injury, left the resort and went to work on his own affairs. The villa seemed to be deserted.
Shi Jin stood by the pond outside the small building with an umbrella, and sighed slightly when he looked at the withered lotus leaves on the surface of the pond.
"Sigh what?" Rong Zhouzhong's voice suddenly sounded not far away.
He was taken aback for a moment, and looked up in disbelief.
Rong Zhouzhong stood on the wooden bridge over the pond and looked at this side, holding an umbrella in his hand as well. He was wearing a medium-length casual camel coat with a black turtleneck sweater underneath. His hair was dyed black and cut a bit short, all combed to the back, looking a rare mature and steady taste.
"Why are you here?" Shijin asked in astonishment before finding his own voice for a long time.
"I asked for a few days off from the agent, and then I came." Rong Zhouzhong replied, leaning over to accept his umbrella, standing under Shijin's umbrella, resting his shoulders, and accompany him to look at nothing in front of him. The pond with utterable scenery asked, "Do you miss me?"
Shi Jin looked at him in a daze, then smiled, abducted him, and said, "How is it possible."
"I think you miss me." Rong Zhouzhong also smiled, looked around the resort and asked, "What's so fun here? I have been working for several months and need a rest urgently."
Shijin's mood improved with naked eyes, and he said, "Is there anything fun here? It's raining again. If you come a week earlier, we can still drag the second brother to fight the landlord together. Now he is also gone... You have eaten. Am I going to make something for you?"
"I didn't eat, I was starving to death." Rong Zhouzhong covered his stomach and asked, "I want to eat steak."
"No, only noodles." Shi Jin rolled his eyes, grabbed his arm, and led him towards the small building.
Upstairs, by the study window, Lian Jun retracted his gaze downstairs, finally willing to divide his attention to Zhang Zhuoyuan on the phone.
"... What the hell is going on? Didn't you say that you want to destroy the other four foreign businesses first? I even helped you manage all the foreign relations, and I did everything you asked for, but now it is What's the matter? Just because your subordinate died and some information was leaked, all the lines you deployed abroad collapsed? Mie is now being crushed and beaten by those large organizations, and they are still being ripped off by them. A lot of meat has passed, are you going to fatten them! What are you doing!"
The more Zhang Zhuoyuan said, the louder his voice, the worse his attitude. When the phone was turned on, both Gua 1 and Gua 2 in the room heard these words, and their faces instantly turned black.
"Lian Jun? You say something! Lian Jun! I don't understand. How could you have such a useless subordinate, you died, and you leaked the information. If I knew this was the case, I just- "
"What are you doing?" Lian Jun turned back to the desk, picked up the list that Tarantula had sent before, and asked faintly, "What do you want to do? Director Zhang, you are in a hurry. It's understandable, but I also hope you can understand that I've died of the feeling of an important subordinate who gets along with each other day and night."
His tone was very weak, his words didn't fluctuate, and he didn't say anything threatening, but Zhang Zhuoyuan’s blood immediately cooled down, and later realized that he had just been too "presumptuous", so he suppressed his tone a little. Said: "I didn't want to do anything, Lian Jun, I'm really anxious, and now even the snake's teeth are stabilized, I'm worried..."
Lian Jun interrupted him and said: "The current stability of Snake Tooth is just the glare in the mirror. The more business they have now swallowed, the more serious the subsequent backlash. Director Zhang, don't worry."
Zhang Zhuoyuan finally got some accurate words from him, knowing that he was preparing to sell profits, dig pits and entangle the enemy, his hanging heart relaxed, his voice completely dropped, and he said, "Lian Jun, what do you plan to do in the future," It’s better to tell me in advance, I’m so prepared, and I’m more able to help—"
"You only need to help me do what I asked you to do." Lian Jun interrupted him again, and a little coldness finally escaped in his voice, "I died of a subordinate, and there may be many deaths in the future. I haven’t been in a good mood recently, Director Zhang, don’t let me hear what you say you are just a subordinate. I don’t guarantee that I will do something.” Press directly after speaking. The phone was disconnected.
Gua Yi immediately glanced at the instrument on the other side and said, "Zhang Zhuoyuan is really locating our position."
"Hey, I'm so worried about us running away secretly, we obviously stayed under his nose. Fortunately, he didn't know that this holiday resort belonged to Lu Shan, otherwise he would have to deal with his nonsense." Gua Second sneered. .
Lian Jun put down the list in his hand and asked, "Where is the fifth hexagram?"
Gua replied: "I have led the team to the vicinity of the first target person and can act at any time."
"Let him do it tonight." Lian Jun ordered, sitting behind the desk, "Hurry up. After dealing with foreign affairs, it's time to transfer to China."
Hearing the words, Gua 1 and Gua 2 felt tight in their hearts, responded in unison, and then exited the study tacitly.
When Gua Sanhou was outside, seeing them come out, he asked without beginning and ending: "Is it me?"
"Jun Shao didn't mention who the next person to go out will be." Gua Yi replied.
Gua 3 breathed a sigh of relief, but soon his expression became sad again: "But... it should be me, you and Gua 2 must be kept till the end... It can only be me. This year's New Year, I can still spend time with you. ?"
It’s only November now, and the new year is the end of January of the coming year. There will be more than two months in between. Obviously, Gua San will not last that long.
Both Gua 1 and Gua 2 were silent, and finally Gua 2 stepped forward, patted Gua 3 on the shoulder, and said, "Tomorrow, you will send it back to school."
"What's this?" Gua San gave a wry smile, then raised his hand and wiped his face, and said, "Okay, I'll take it off."
…
Rong Zhouzhong spent a weekend with Shijin in the villa. The brothers spent the whole day unimaginatively lying on the sofa, playing games, eating snacks, watching some unnutritious popcorn movies, and quarreling from time to time, which was considered lively.
On the day he returned to school, Rong Zhouzhong accompanied Shijin down the mountain. He leaned in the back seat without any image, and asked, "Xiao Jin, your birthday is coming this year, how are you going to spend it?"
Shi Jin was playing mahjong with his mobile phone and replied: "That day is not a holiday. I have to go to class, but it's nothing more. You guys don't have to be busy. You have birthdays every year, so don't worry too much."
"That’s not okay. This year’s situation is special. The second brother doesn’t know where he’s going. For the sake of safety, the eldest brother is best not to come out. The fifth child may have been stared at by bad guys. Your whereabouts have been exposed. The fourth child doesn’t know what he’s doing recently, and I can’t get in touch. Now I’m the only one who can give you your birthday. This is a good opportunity to monopolize you. I must take care of it." Rong Zhouzhong said deliberately and hit him on the shoulder, "How about it, how about you, how about I charter a plane for you and sprinkle candy at the gate of your school?"
Shijin couldn't bear it and replied: "What kind of bad attention, do you treat me as a kid or a naive girl? Can City B let you play airplanes? Don't always think about making big news, I need to keep a low profile now. ."
"That's also true." Rong Zhouzhong was not reconciled to give up this celebration plan. Seeing that he was really not interested in birthdays, he confirmed and asked, "You really don't want to celebrate birthdays?"
Shijin raised his eyes to look at him, and definitely said, "I don't want to, not at all!"
"All right then." Rong Zhouzhong compromised.
With no words on the way, the car steadily stopped in front of the school.
Before Shi Jin got out of the car, Rong Zhouzhong suddenly spoke again and said, "I was in a bad mood because I couldn't help you before, but now I'm a bit grateful that I didn't help you before and didn't let the bad guys know. I am your brother too. Xiaojin, now only I can come to you without pressure, so when you are in a bad mood, just come and act like a baby. I am very free at the end of the year and can come to accompany you at any time."
Shi Jin looked back at him, suddenly leaned in and hugged him, then said goodbye to the driving Gua, and got out of the car with his backpack.
People who mix in the entertainment industry will be idle at the end of the year
He crossed the road to enter the campus and threw the backpack on his back—how could it be possible. However, there is another brother who can meet normally, and he feels very happy.
…
The four united offensives, even if it is Mie, will not last long. Soon, Mie was forced to completely abandon the interests of the X and DL areas, and quickly shrink the business network.
Wumen and Snakeya took advantage of the victory to pursue them, and began to frantically devour the remaining benefits. Chiba and Tarantula were not focused on foreign business, so they had some restraint and gave up most of their interests.
This is the first large-scale victory they have ushered in since the alliance was founded.
Then one day, Lu Shan discovered something was wrong.
"I was assassinated by an important subordinate in Country R." At the meeting, Lu Shan threw out a photo of a man being shot, with a heavy expression, "Attention, everyone, Lian Jun's counterattack may be coming. "
Meng Qing felt that she was making a fuss, and said: "Mie is now crushed by us, and the business network has shrunk by half, so there is no room to fight back. It's just that you have died, you are too nervous."
"Meng Qing, accept your arrogance. I have been dealing with Lian Jun for so many years. I know the rhythm and style of his work best. Often the details that we don't care about or feel are insignificant are the beginning of his netting! "Lu Shan, with a serious expression, emphasized, "You can't continue to chase, and take all your strength back. In the next period of time, we must take precautions."
"No." Yuan Peng was the first to put forward an objection, "Our new business network connecting with the country in X area is about to be completed. Retiring at this time is tantamount to wasting the efforts of the previous period. Part of the meat that came down was returned to it, giving it a chance to breathe."
Lu Shan shook her head and said, "Don't be dazzled by benefits, Yuan Peng, be too aggressive, be careful to be backlashed."
Yuan Peng couldn’t listen at all. He had a good time recently. With the support of Meng Qing, he gained a little voice in the alliance. Now he wants him to give up his interests and listen to Lu Shan honestly. Unwilling.
Lu Shan frowned, looked at Meng Qing again, and said, "What do you think?"
Meng Qing looked distressed and said, "Everyone is acting together, and the interests are all involved. It's not that you can retreat directly if you retreat. Why don't we wait and see for a while?"
This is not in favor of retiring.
Lu Shan's expression sank, and she looked at Qi Yun again.
"Let’s wait and see, but Lu Shan is right. Wumen and Snakeya are expanding too fast now. It’s time to settle. The mess of Mie’s own is already too big and it can’t be alleviated for the time being, and it’s impossible to organize an effective counterattack. , You don't need to be so anxious." Qi Yun said, helping him.
Finally, after some discussions, everyone unanimously decided to wait and see again, and then gather a little bit of offensive, first stabilize the current business network. Lu Shan obviously didn't agree with this decision, but three to one, she had no choice but to compromise in the end.
Two more days later, an important subordinate of Lu Shan buried in Country H also died silently.
Lu Shan directly exploded and scolded at the meeting: "It must be Jun Lian! I killed one of his subordinates, but he actually killed two of me, well, very good!"
Meng Qing and Qi Yun looked at each other when they heard this, and comforted her a little bit. Yuan Peng frowned, remembering that he had also participated in the last event, and he became alert.
The assassinations continued, and the frequency was getting faster and faster. Before December arrived, Lu Shan had lost six generals. The business chain from outside to Baodao lost several key persons in charge and entered. The state of temporary suspension.
"I must withdraw the power from the outside." At another meeting, Lu Shan said irritably, her condition looked terrible, "A total of six people directly pulled me a whole line! I do know a little bit about Mie, but obviously Lian Jun knows me better! No matter how I guard, my people will die one after another. If this continues, my foundation on Treasure Island doesn’t have to be dealt with with much effort by Lian Jun, and I will collapse! I have to The external forces withdrew back to make up this part of the hole, and firmly guarded the few important subordinates I have left. Don't stop me."
The other three were also shocked by Lian Jun's move from the bottom of the pan, and did not embarrass her, but also said that they could help.
Lu Shan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't, take care of yourself, Lian Jun's counterattack is absolutely endless, everyone should be careful."
…
Two days before and after Shijin's birthday, the cart had to go out of the arena again. Shi Jin was a little speechless. He didn't expect that his older brothers would still send him a lot of birthday presents this year.
In fact, compared to last year, everyone has restrained the number of gifts this year, but because this year Rong Zhouzhong did not send gifts to Shijin in advance like last year, but chose to send the gifts by express. , And Li Jiuzheng, who was inconvenient to come here, also sent gifts by courier, so the total number of boxes does not seem to be much less than last year.
"Oh my god, a box of sunglasses, Shi Jin, this is a gift from any of your relatives, too..." Liu Yong's expression was very difficult to say. He took out a pair of sunglasses from the box and looked at it, shaking his hands. "Fuck, studded with pearls, is this pearl real or fake..."
Shi Jin silently covered the box of sunglasses and said, "My relative is a fan of sunglasses, so... What? I will invite you to dinner tonight. What do you want to eat, hot pot or small stir fry?"
Liu Yong said seriously, "I want to eat a seafood meal!"
Shi Jin looked at him with mentally retarded eyes: "If you can find a restaurant selling seafood in school, I will treat you to it."
Liu Yong grumbled: "Why is your birthday not on the weekend, it's a pity."
…
At dinner time that day, Shijin received a call from the doorman again. He was a little puzzled. He had already received all the gifts from his five brothers, how could there be express delivery.
Liu Yong's eyes lit up and he immediately took out the cart: "Is there another treasure here?"
Shi Jin was confused and shook his head, and took him and Luo Donghao to the school gate.
The doorman saw him coming from a distance, and enthusiastically stretched out his hand outside the door and said, "Classmate, your takeaway!"
takeout
When Shi Jin was surprised, he turned his head to look at the place where the uncle was pointing, and saw that there was a takeaway food truck of a long-established restaurant parked there, and a man in a waiter's uniform was standing outside the car. The man saw Shijin at the call of the gatekeeper, and hurriedly took the greeting card to greet him, stopped in front of Shijin, smiled and handed the card over, and said: "Is it Mr. Shi? I am a delivery person from XX Restaurant , I am entrusted by your brother to give you a birthday meal, and I wish you a happy birthday."
Shijin took the greeting card and opened it, and a line of handwritten small words appeared before his eyes: This year, I also want to eat longevity noodles. I wish Xiaojin a long life and a happy birthday. My brother loves you [Love].
He looked at the love heart, suddenly felt a little sore in his nose, and hurriedly raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose.
