From that day on, An Luo started to investigate the background of the third master.
He paid a lot of money to hire the best hackers to find out all the details of the suspended death in the car accident. Xu Ziming fled abroad temporarily after his suspended animation. After a few years, when he came back, he had already changed his identity, using the pseudonym "Lin San", which was a definite clue.
The Illuminati's drug business is getting bigger and bigger, and the money it makes is an astronomical amount. It is impossible for the third master to keep the cash at home. The whereabouts of the money becomes the second clue that An Luo wants to investigate.
While Anluo was checking the information, Lin Xiaotong also secretly cooperated with Anluo's plan in the laboratory and changed the chemical composition of the drug formula. In this way, once the third master got a new batch of drugs and successfully shot, he would Can cause drug intoxication in drug users.
It is impossible for the third master to selflessly destroy the drugs purchased at high prices. According to his ruthless style, he may mix these poisonous drugs with qualified drugs and shoot them all.
Before that, you must contact the police as soon as possible, first protect the witnesses such as father and Xiaotong, wait for the internal chaos of the Illuminati, and then cooperate with the police to send undercover agents of the Illuminati. All the loot.
An Luo's plan was in full swing, because the appearance of several batches of drugs was exactly the same, and Lin Xiaotong only added toxins to some drugs. A drug dealer from Vietnam threw this hot potato directly to others to deal with, and the transaction time was set at the end of May.
After learning the news from Lin Xiaotong, An Luo just planned to contact the high-level police officers through his grandfather to make arrangements, but on May 22, Lin Xiaotong suddenly sent An Luo a text message.
"An Luo, I found something, let's have lunch together, and we'll talk to you in detail when we meet."
This news made An Luo feel a little uneasy. Lin Xiaotong knew more about the Illuminati than he did. In addition, her father was one of the core members of the Illuminati. She said that what she found must be very serious.
An Luo texted her to arrange a meeting place, and immediately sent a message to Grandpa An Guangyao: "Grandpa, I have something very important to talk to you about. Can I come directly to the hospital around 4:30 in the afternoon?"
An Guangyao replied, "What's wrong, Xiao Luo? What's so serious?"
An Guangyao is a veteran who started doing business here in Xilin City when it was founded. He has lived in this city for nearly 50 years. Put brothers on the verge of death. The network of connections behind him can be of great help at critical moments. But because the old man had a heart attack, An Luo never told him the truth. He just wanted to get everything sorted out, and finally ask his grandfather to come forward.
After thinking about it, An Luo decided to meet and talk with him in detail, so he replied, "I still need to confirm some things. After I meet Xiaotong later, I will come back to you."
An Guangyao replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the hospital."
An Guangyao didn't wait for An Luo, nor did An Luo expect that he would never return this time.
***
At 12:30 at noon, in the western restaurant, Lin Xiaotong booked a private room and waited for An Luo, her face looked pale.
After An Luo arrived, he sat down opposite her, and the two ordered a set meal at random. When the waiter went out, Lin Xiaotong said, "An Luo, our plan... Something went wrong."
An Luo frowned, "How?"
Lin Xiaotong said in a low voice: "I only learned from my father last night that behind the third master, there is a very powerful force protecting him. He was born in the Xu family, and his younger brother, Xu Zizheng, Xu Shaoqian's fourth uncle, Now he is the boss of the Jade Family. The Xu family's jade business spreads all over the country, with branches all over the country. The interest groups involved in Xu Zizheng cannot be moved by our strength. Although the third master left the Xu family, but before he left, The relationship with his younger brother has always been very good, if the third master is really arrested, Xu Zizheng will never sit idly by... "
Lin Xiaotong paused for a while, then said: "The third master wanted to sell the drug in question to a drug dealer in Vietnam at the end of the month. We also planned to contact the police to get all the money. But just yesterday, suddenly A mysterious person came forward and bought all the drugs at a high price... My father said that that person must be Xu Shaoqian's fourth uncle, Xu Zizheng."
An Luo had met Xu Zizheng before. He was the youngest son of the previous generation of the Xu family. He had a personality similar to that of the fourth brother, An Ze, and was the most powerful of the brothers. After his brother's suspended death in a car accident, he took over the Xu family's business, and took over Xu Shaoqian and Xu Wan to raise them. At the time, he was only in his twenties, but he was so mature and calm that it was daunting.
The relationship between the Xu family and the An family has always been good. The two have business contacts. Xu Shaoqian and An Luo are friends who grew up together. Xu Wan admired An Luo when she was a child, and her grandfather even deliberately matched the two. On Grandpa's birthday every year, Xu Zizheng would also send priceless jade as a gift. Among all business partners, the An family and the Xu family were the closest.
An Luo thought that Xu Ziming had disappeared with suspended animation, and Xu Zizheng should not know or care about his affairs, but it was only at this moment that he realized that he was wrong. Perhaps, Xu Zizheng always knew that his third brother was dealing drugs, and he usually turned a blind eye, but at a critical moment, he was also a member of the Xu family, and he would definitely come forward to help his third brother.
Perhaps, after meeting Xu Shaoqian, he asked those questions, and Xu Shaoqian went back to ask his fourth uncle under suspicion, which caught Xu Zizheng's attention. As soon as there was a problem with the Illuminati's drugs, he immediately came forward and secretly bought the batch of drugs. Obviously, he was afraid that someone was deliberately targeting his third brother.
The Illuminati was already very difficult to deal with, but at a critical moment, Xu Zizheng was killed halfway along the way. Coupled with the entanglement of interests between the Xu family and the An family for many years, things were even more difficult to handle. This matter must make grandpa think of a countermeasure, even if he has a heart attack... he can't hide it any longer.
An Luo frowned deeply, remembering the appointment time with his grandfather, he couldn't help but looked down at his watch.
Seeing that he seemed to be in a hurry, Lin Xiaotong said, "You can leave beforehand. We will discuss the specific method another day. The current plan can only be like this."
"Okay, be careful yourself." An Luo picked up his jacket and turned to go out, directly to the parking lot.
***
Unexpectedly, before the car started, someone suddenly knocked on the window. An Luo turned around and suddenly met An Ze's deep gaze.
An Ze smiled at him, then opened the door and got into the car, sitting in the passenger seat.
An Luo turned back suspiciously, "Anze, why are you here?"
An Ze said: "Brother, tomorrow is your birthday. I went to the nearby bakery to buy a box of your favorite matcha cake. Let's have dinner together tonight and celebrate your birthday in advance."
An Luo was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "Take the cake back, I have already eaten dinner."
An Ze's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Is it with Lin Xiaotong? Are you really dating her?"
Just as An Luo was about to speak, the phone suddenly rang. He lowered his head and took out the phone from his pocket, and entered the digital password of 84568523, which was in the shape of an upside-down umbrella.
The mobile phone password was turned on, and An Luo glanced at the name in the center of the screen—Dad.
Dad's call at this time must have something urgent, maybe it has something to do with the Illuminati, but An Ze was sitting next to him, and it was inconvenient for An Luo to talk to his father about this, so he pressed the reject button and put the phone back. .
An Ze asked suspiciously, "Who's calling? Why didn't my brother answer it?"
An Luo said with a cold face: "Go back, I still have things to do, I'll talk about it another day."
An Ze continued to ask: "I see that you are restless, brother, what happened?"
An Luo frowned impatiently, "It's none of your business!" He didn't want An Ze to be implicated in this matter, so he coldly wanted to drive An Ze away as soon as possible.
An Ze suddenly turned his head to look at him, the complex gaze seemed to look directly into his heart, An Luo was stunned in place by the gaze, and for a moment forgot what to say.
An Ze's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and then a low and calm voice slipped out of his throat: "The person you like is with someone else, why don't you say it's none of my business?"
An Luo was stunned and asked in surprise, "Who do you like? Do you like Lin Xiao..."
"I like you." An Ze interrupted him directly.
As if to prove this sentence, An Ze's lips suddenly pressed down and kissed An Luo's lips. He even put his tongue into his mouth recklessly, and his fingers also clasped the back of An Luo's head, closing the distance between the two. Pull to the nearest.
"Um..." An Luo was caught off guard by the kiss, her eyes widened and frozen.
An Ze squeezed the back of his brother's head and deepened the kiss.
From the moment he saw his brother take Lin Xiaotong home that day, An Ze was going crazy.
Although he had thought that his brother would be with a woman in the future, he even made all the psychological preparations, but the moment he saw his brother serving the woman and sending the woman home, Anze discovered that all the His reason was gone, his mind was in chaos, he was jealous of that woman, he was about to go crazy, he even wanted to kiss his brother frantically in front of that woman and tell her that An Luo was his, no one Not to be taken away.
When seeing An Luo and Lin Xiaotong eating face to face in a western restaurant today, An Ze's patience finally broke out!
"uh... uh..."
An Luo was completely stunned by the kiss so strong that he almost swallowed him in his stomach.
This, what's the situation? He was actually kissed by his brother
An Luo's mind went blank, and he lost the ability to think in an instant.
The space in the car was originally very narrow, and An Luo had already fastened his seat belt, and he was completely pressed on the seat by An Ze, and there was no room for escape at all.
An Luo stared blankly at An Ze's face enlarged in front of him. After a while, he realized that his tongue was tightly entangled in him, and then he finally reacted.
An Luo blushed with anger, pushed An Ze away, and punched him in the face by the way, "Bastard! You are crazy!"
An Ze was punched firmly, and there was a dazzling trace of blood on his lips, but he didn't care, he wiped it with the back of his hand, looked back at An Luo, and said seriously, "Brother, I'm not crazy, I Very sober. I asked you out today, just to tell you the truth. I like you, I have liked you since a long time... "
"Enough! I'm your brother..."
"So what?" An Ze interrupted him, "It's not wrong to like you. What's more, I never thought I could be with you. I just like silently, isn't that okay?"
An Luo said coldly, "Get out of the car now, I don't want to see you!"
"elder brother… "
"Don't call me brother!" An Luo looked back at An Ze, his eyes were as cold as a sword, "Now, immediately, get out of here!"
Looking at An Luo's icy gaze, An Ze was silent for a long time, and suddenly tugged at the corner of his cracked mouth, and said in a low voice, "If, this may be the last time we meet... You will also let me get out of here immediately. ,Is it right?"
"An Ze, get out of the car right away, I don't want to say the third time." An Luo's face was very ugly, and his lips were white with anger.
An Ze raised his lips slightly, "I know, you never cared about my brother. But it doesn't matter, you finally know my feelings for you now, at least, you will always remember me. And... remember me kiss." After speaking, he leaned over again and kissed An Luo lightly on the lips.
"you… "
"I can't accompany you on your birthday tomorrow. Let me say in advance, happy birthday, brother."
After Anze said that, he opened the door and got out of the car, and took the box of matcha cakes he bought.
He straightened his back and walked to the distant street, never looking back.
But An Luo in the car kept watching his back.
An Luo's heart was so chaotic that he couldn't figure out what to do next. His fingers holding the steering wheel were even trembling slightly. The numb lips that were kissed still kept An Ze's tough but warm temperature, and his mouth was full of his taste. At such a critical moment, An Ze suddenly came out with an inexplicable confession, which made him feel restless. An Luo almost collapsed.
-What exactly is going on? ! He is going crazy!
Now, should he calm down and consider how to deal with this difficult matter of the Illuminati? Or should I consider the incredible thing that my brother would fall in love with him? !
An Luo pressed his temple with a headache.
An Ze's confession at this time was simply adding fuel to the fire. An Luo had no way to calm down immediately and go to his grandfather to discuss countermeasures. Looking at the box of cakes that An Ze threw in the trash can by the roadside, An Luo's mood was indescribably complicated. Sitting in the car for a long time, he took a deep breath, gripped the steering wheel stiffly with his fingers, and rushed to the hospital where grandfather was.
At this moment, the phone rang again, An Luo took out his mobile phone, and saw the name of Li Anze on the caller ID.
What is he calling again? Don't you think that the confession just now was not enough to stimulate your brother? !
An Luo frowned and answered the phone, and said coldly, "Anze, what's the matter?"
Unexpectedly, a deep voice came from the phone, "If you want your brother to be okay, just do as I say."
"...!" It was the voice, the man I saw on the monitor, the third master!
How could An Ze's mobile phone be in his hands? Did something happen to Anze...
An Luo suppressed the unease in his heart, pretending to be calm and authentic: "Where is An Ze?"
"Brother..." An Ze's voice came vaguely from the phone, as if he had been punched a few times, and the voice suddenly weakened again.
An Luo was worried for a while, and hurriedly said: "What do you want?! Don't hurt An Ze, he has nothing to do with this matter!"
The third master smiled and said: "An Luo, I didn't expect you to care about your brother. If you want him alive, bring what I want and come to the factory in the western suburbs to find me. Remember, don't call the police, And don't let anyone follow, delete the call log, drop the phone... or you'll see your brother's body when you arrive."
The phone is hung up.
"..." An Luo was silent for a while, then turned the steering wheel and accelerated to the western suburbs.
He knew very well that because of the ruthlessness of the third master, if he was disobedient, called the police, or brought anyone with him, then the third master would definitely keep his promise and give him An Ze's body... He knows these underworld people too well. With a cold-blooded style, it is possible that the third master has already installed bugs on his mobile phone and room.
His father was involved in drug trafficking and investigated the matter himself, but Anze was innocent.
Maybe this time there will be no return, and even, it is very likely that waiting for him is an unimaginable torture. However, he couldn't just watch An Ze's accident. Even if there is a Longtan Tiger Den in front of him, he must go through it once.
An Luo took out a pistol from under the car seat and put it lightly into his pocket.
***
Before arriving at the abandoned factory, An Luo first parked his car under a relatively hidden hillside. He thought that if he really had an accident this time, the police might be able to find some clues from his car. .
Walking alone to the place designated by the third master, looking at the factory in front of him, An Luo suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
It was a long-abandoned factory. The iron gate was rusted, and the dark red color was unknown whether it was rust or blood. The area around the factory is deserted, and the roads are overgrown with weeds. Such places are often used by underworld gangs to deal with traitors and enemies. They kill people here and throw them into the ditch behind the hillside until the bodies are found by the police. At times, it is often beyond recognition.
Although he had been to many similar places in his previous life, in this life, An Luo, who had been living a peaceful life in his home, was the first time he had come to such a damp, cold, and death-filled place.
An Luo frowned, endured the discomfort in his heart, pressed the gun in his pocket with his hand, and slowly approached the door.
There was a sudden sound of wind in his ears, and An Luo turned his side almost reflexively. At the same time, he swept his left leg and kicked the man who attacked him to the ground!
The other four tall thugs looked at each other and gathered around.
An Luo's eyes turned cold, and regardless of his morals, a beautiful grappling hand quickly grabbed a man's wrist and threw him out! Then, he accurately slashed the neck of the man on the right with a knife! Then he used his knees to push against the abdomen of the man on the left, his legs swept away, and the last man was also knocked to the ground with one foot!
A few thugs probably did not expect that the pampered eldest young master of the An family would fight so neatly that he was knocked down within a few moves, and he was a little stunned when he lay on the ground.
An Luo immediately took out the gun in his pocket, pointed at the few people lying on the ground, and said coldly, "Since you asked me to exchange something for my brother, what about your third master?"
At this moment, the door on the side suddenly opened, and a strange applause sounded. After three bangs, a low and cold voice came from my ear, "An Luo, you're good at it."
An Luo turned around and met an icy gaze.
Third Master.
Although he was sitting on a stained chair in a dilapidated factory, the calm expression on his face was like sitting on the most comfortable sofa in a luxurious palace. With a face similar to Xu Shaoqian, his expression is as cold and arrogant as his son. If the young Xu Shaoqian has the temperament of a noble prince, then Xu Ziming, who is almost middle-aged, is already a calm king.
With a cigarette between his fingers, he smoked slowly, and the smoke ring he exhaled rose up around him, wrapping around him, making his indifferent face appear hazy, and also revealing a chilling danger!
There was a young man standing beside him. The man was handsome and dressed in an unrestrained manner. His white shirt was unbuttoned three times, revealing a large piece of skin on his chest. He also wore a necklace with a shell on his neck.
- Is it Xiao Rui? !
An Luo's shock at that time was indescribable!
He had seen this young man called "Rui'er" by the third master on the monitor before. At that time, he only saw his profile and felt a little familiar. At this time, he looked closely and found that he looked very similar to Chen Yi. And that shell necklace... When I was a kid, I went out to play. Xiao Rui liked it very much after seeing it.
He can stand so close to the third master, obviously has a very important position in the Illuminati. I don't know what happened after Xiao Rui disappeared, but he actually became a member of the Illuminati...
An Luo's mood was a little complicated. Looking at Chen Rui, who was expressionless, he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, the third master suddenly said, "what, don't care about your brother's life or death?"
An Luo frowned and said, "Where's An Ze?"
The third master smiled and said, "put down the gun first, otherwise, how dare I give you the hostage."
An Luo said, "I want to meet him first."
The third master waved to the young man beside him. Soon, several people grabbed An Ze and walked forward. His hair was messy, his cheeks were swollen, and his military uniform was full of blood.
Looking at An Ze like that, An Luo's heart felt as if it was suddenly pulled up.
An Luo asked anxiously, "Anze, how are you?"
A cold pistol suddenly touched An Ze's head. Chen Rui stood beside An Ze and said coldly, "Throw the gun on the ground and kick it over with your feet, otherwise he will die."
"… "
Chen Rui raised his eyebrows, "Can't understand what I'm saying?"
An Luo had to put the gun down and kicked him in front of him.
Chen Rui suddenly raised his lips and smiled, sighed softly and said, "It is said that the eldest young master of the An family is calm and steady, but I didn't expect that sometimes you are so softhearted... so easy to deceive."
As he spoke, he took out a mobile phone from his pocket. It was An Ze's mobile phone. At this moment, a vague recording was playing on the mobile phone.
"elder brother… "
An Luo's pupils shrank suddenly, "You..."
Chen Rui smiled, patted "An Ze" on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Come on, say hello to your brother."
The "An Ze" who pointed the gun to his head suddenly raised his head, smiled at An Luo, and said, "Brother, do I look like An Ze?"
Chen Rui smiled and said, "The seven-point portrait is just that the potion on the face is a bit ugly."
The third master's eyes swept across the two young people beside him, and then he looked back at An Luo, and said in a low voice, "Your brother will be very moved to know that you rushed to save him regardless of your life. It's a pity that you didn't Seeing his body, he will be able to see your body in a few days."
As he spoke, he snuffed out the cigarette butts, stood up slowly, walked in front of An Luo, patted An Luo's face lightly and said, "Those who go against me will not end well. An Luo, really It's a pity you're still so young."
An Luo was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "... Where's An Ze?"
The third master smiled slightly and said: "your brother has already returned to the military region. I have always had clear grievances and grievances. He didn't fight against me, so I won't do anything to him. It's you who actually found Xu's house, I won't let you die too comfortably." Then he waved his hand, "I'll leave it to you. Ruier, come with me."
Chen Rui glanced at An Luo, turned and left with the third master with a blank face.
"..." An Luo's palm instantly turned cold.
Should have thought.
With Anze's vigilance and skill, how could he be kidnapped casually? It's a pity that An Ze had just confessed to him and kissed him suddenly. An Luo's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think calmly at all.
In such a chaotic time, I received a call from An Ze's number, and heard An Ze's voice calling for my brother. The so-called authorities are fans. When An Luo, who has always been calm, was in a mess, he came to rescue without careful consideration. Anze.
Unexpectedly, all this is just a conspiracy.
In his previous life, An Luo was ruthless and cruel. He seldom missed. Even when he was chased and intercepted by several killers, he was able to escape smoothly. That was because he was not afraid of bloodshed or death in his previous life. Threatened weakness.
But now it is different. An Luo, who grew up in a different environment, has lived a peaceful and stable life for more than 20 years. He is softer than before, he has people he cares about, and he has many relatives who he wants to protect, and he also has Achilles heel.
Once a person has a weakness, it is easy to be caught by the enemy, thus giving a fatal counterattack.
If it weren't for An Ze's sudden confession that disrupted his thoughts, if it weren't for the fact that he was too worried about An Ze and lost his calm, An Luo would never have stepped into the trap laid out by the third master so easily.
When a group of people pointed a gun at the head and tied a rope to the corner of the factory, An Luo suddenly felt a little regretful, and he remembered what An Ze said before: "If this is the last time we meet, you will be like this too. Chase me away?"
If he knew at the time that this was the last time the two met, An Luo thought, he would never drive An Ze away, let alone hurt An Ze, even if An Ze's sudden confession was too shocking to him, He will also tell him calmly - in fact, my brother has never hated you, and you have always been the most sensible and trustworthy brother in my brother's heart.
Hearing the sound of clothes being torn, An Luo finally closed his eyes in despair.
The thorny whip was slapped on his body, and bloody slits were drawn out of his chest. It seemed that the skin was torn directly. The blood kept gushing out along the cracked buttons, but An Luo kept clenching his teeth and did not let out any sound. A weak voice.
An Luo's stubbornness further aroused those people's desire to abuse. The man in the lead threw away the whip, replaced it with a thicker and harder leather whip, and slapped An Luo in the face.
"Dare to oppose the third master, you are impatient!"
The whip was pulled down again, and there was a burning pain on his body. An Luo frowned in pain. He couldn't help but want to shrink his body slightly, but someone grabbed his hair and dragged it to the ground like a corpse.
"Say, where's the recipe?"
"..." An Luo closed his eyes and did not speak.
His indifferent and arrogant reaction obviously angered those people, punching and kicking, and someone even picked up an iron rod and slammed it on An Luo's leg!
"Well… "
The severe pain of the broken bones made An Luo finally let out a dull voice, and his lips were even bitten out of blood!
I don't know if the internal organs were kicked and damaged, and the body was overturned, and the pain was like a spasm.
The smashed wound on his body, the blood that flowed out stained the dirty ground, and An Luo's eyes became more and more blurred.
can't die...
Can't just die like this...
Think about the past, think about the past life, the years spent with An Yang in the Anjia family, and think about the rare and peaceful life in Vancouver later...
An Luo almost forced himself to deliberately recall his previous life. From childhood to adulthood, he recalled it carefully, as if he was reliving a person's ups and downs in a new life.
Desperately thinking back to the past to distract from the past, so as to relieve the body of intense pain.
But in the end, the extreme pain gradually turned into numbness, An Luo's eyes began to slacken, the whip was whipped on his body, and he almost lost all consciousness.
"You said that this person is stubborn enough, and he still refuses to say a word. What should I do now?"
"The third master ordered him. If he can't ask anything, he will be solved directly."
A vague discussion sounded in his ears, and his body was as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
can't die...
This was An Luo's last thought before he lost consciousness.
