"This is what I should do."
Lorraine nodded as a greeting.
He found a very interesting phenomenon. Although Suan Tou was very small, he was very imposing when standing there in a black suit. The Xinji members around him looked at him with a slight look in their eyes. Respect.
Lorraine knew that although Suan Tou was not a person with any real power in Xinji, and was not even an official member of Xinji at all, his words probably still carried a lot of weight. On the one hand, he was the person Shui Bo trusted most during his lifetime. ,none of them. On the other hand, Suan Tou is very strong in combat. Currently, he is almost considered a living legend in the Hongkong underworld.
The process of the memorial service was basically the same as that of other people on the road. The only thing that seemed special was that no one showed any disrespect. Even the attitudes of Lian Liansheng and Black Star were surprisingly respectful.
This is status.
No one wants to act wild at Shui Bo's memorial service, as that would be disrespectful to the underground world in Hongkong.
… …
After the memorial service ended, all the guests left the scene one by one.
Lorraine was not a figure in the hongkong underground world, so he did not mix with the others. He said hello to Guan Tou, then walked out of the door, stood outside, lit a cigarette by himself, and started smoking as if no one else was watching.
As the smoke filled the air, Lorraine turned around and saw Suan Tou also following the members of Xinji to see off guests. What was very interesting was...
When the people were almost gone, Black Star's young master Wan Gongzi slowly left the memorial service, then walked to Garant, lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Mr. Garant, I am Wan Cheng, I have admired you for a long time. ... This is my personal contact information. If you have time, let’s sit together.”
With that said, Mr. Wan handed over one of his business cards. Under the complicated eyes of some people around him, he nodded and said hello, then left the door with a faint smile on his face, got in the car and left.
After Mr. Wan left, everyone else in Xinji turned their attention to Suan Tou, and everyone felt very uncomfortable.
As we all know, the reason why Lan Tou stayed in Xin Ji and worked for Xin Ji was mainly because of Uncle Shui. He did not have much important relationship with Xin Ji. Therefore, now that Uncle Shui has passed away, if Lan Tou said he would... No one will be surprised to leave Xinji.
But now Mr. Wan has actually extended an olive branch to Gan Tou, which makes other members of Xin Ji feel more or less uncomfortable, especially the bosses and elders. They know very well that Fan Tou has always been a figure in Xin Ji's way. One of the fear factors is that without Garlic, Xinji's prestige will definitely be greatly reduced. Now that Uncle Shui has passed away, they don't want to lose Garlic, let alone be poached by Black Star or He Liansheng's people.
Originally, everyone was proud of Xinji's Garan Tou, but after Mr. Wan made such a fuss, everyone was at a loss. In their view, if Garan Tou became a subordinate of Black Star or He Liansheng, then Xin Ji's It will definitely be taken away!
So... At this time, everyone's eyes towards Suan Tou changed slightly. Many people regarded him as an unstable factor.
Many people on the Tao understand the truth: if some people and some things cannot be used for oneself, it is best to get rid of them to avoid falling into the hands of others...especially the hands of the enemy.
But…
How could such a powerful person like Suan Tou be eradicated so easily
Although Suan Tou is a strong man with fists and kicks, he is also very thoughtful. At this time, he noticed the eyes of the people around him, and naturally guessed what everyone was thinking, so he put it in front of everyone. The business card in his hand was torn into two halves with a "snap" sound, and then he threw it into the trash can next to him.
Seeing Garant's move, Lorraine smiled faintly, feeling extremely helpless - now he finally understood why Garant's eyes always flashed with a trace of helplessness and anguish. It turns out that the reason is that with the death of Uncle Shui, suspicions have arisen among Xinji. Suspicion is a very troublesome existence in this world, especially for a vulnerable group, this kind of suspicion is even more fatal. .
You know, now both Black Star and He Liansheng want to take down Xinji, but Garlic is a factor that they are slightly afraid of, and what Young Master Wan did just now easily provoked Xinji. Internal suspicion and distrust of Garlic...
I have to say, it's really sad.
Lorraine shook his head gently. Since he had been looking elsewhere just now, he didn't know that the cigarette in his hand had been extinguished. After a pause, he began to fumble for a lighter on his body.
"Use mine." At this moment, a voice came from behind Lorraine.
Before Lorraine could think about it, there was a click, and a lighter with a thin flame stretched out in front of him. Lorraine lit the cigarette, turned his head slightly, and saw a friendly looking person. My own man.
He seems to be in his thirties and has the air and momentum of a boss.
"Thank you, who are you?" Lorraine did not use honorifics. He did not need to use honorifics to a stranger.
"Oh, my name is Lin Hao. Everyone calls me Mr. Hao. You can just call me Ahao." Mr. Hao shook hands with Lorraine very humbly.
Lorraine didn't hesitate much and locked hands with Mr. Hao: "It turns out that it's Mr. Hao who is the leader of Xinji. It should be said that I am the one I have admired for a long time."
The person in front of him was none other than the current leader of Xinji. Uncle Shui had mentioned him to him before. The appearance of the person in front of him was similar to what he had imagined. However, although the young master in front of him had a kind face, Lorraine's impression of him was not very good.
To look at a person is not to look at his appearance, but... to look into his heart through his eyes.
There was a hint of ambition in Mr. Hao's slightly smiling eyes.
Being ambitious is not a bad thing. For a man, ambition is a necessary quality.
But... Master Hao's ambition made Lorraine very uncomfortable. The other party looked at him as if he was in his pocket, as if the person in front of him would take advantage of him at any time and plot against him.
Therefore, Lorraine was very wary of him.
This situation is very bad. To be honest, Lorraine doesn't want to feel this way about Xinji's new leader. He will still cooperate with Xinji in the future. If there is some gap in the cooperative relationship with the other party, then It is inconvenient for the implementation of the plan.
At this moment, Suan Tou, who had been seeing off guests not far away, came over.
"Haha, Garlic, you're here just in time. Mr. Luo and I hit it off just now and we were chatting." Before Luo Lin could say anything, Mr. Hao took the lead and smiled at Garlic.
Suan Tou's face still looked neither sad nor happy. He nodded calmly, glanced at Lorraine and then said to Young Master Hao: "Young Master Hao, today's memorial service is over. You'd better go back to the club earlier to preside over the work." Well... Mr. Luo just arrived in Hongkong today, and he hasn’t had time to rest after running around all night, so I have to make some arrangements for Mr. Luo.”
"Well, okay, no problem, I'll leave this matter to you." Mr. Hao nodded and said a little apologetically to Lorraine, "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, because the club is at a critical stage now, so I can't I have found a way to accompany you. You must stay in Hongkong for a while this time. Whether on behalf of the society or on behalf of myself, I want to communicate more with you."
Although his innermost thoughts are worthy of speculation, on the surface, his words are all the same, making it hard for people to find fault. So Lorraine also smiled at him in a dignified manner and shook hands with him: " It’s okay, I understand.”
… …
After Mr. Hao and others left, Lorraine and Garant got into a car.
"Mr. Luo, where do you live? I'll take you there."
Lorraine shook his hand: "It's okay, let's talk in the car." He could tell that Guan Tou wanted to tell him something.
Hearing the meaning of Lorraine's words, Suan Tou didn't try too hard: "Well, that's the case. I feel that Uncle Shui did not die naturally."
"You mean... someone faked the scene?"
"No, you can't say that. Maybe someone hid Uncle Shui's medicine, or mixed sleeping pills into Uncle Shui's food."
"Did the autopsy report say anything about this drug?"
"It's useless, because the medicine Shui Bo usually takes contains more or less sleeping pills."
"But... such a small dose of sleeping medicine can't kill Uncle Shui, right?"
"I'm just making an analogy... In fact, as long as a doctor who understands some aspects of drug intake can prepare a hidden prescription, it's also possible that someone has tampered with Uncle Shui's prescription. Hands and feet, long-term intake may cause problems... "
"That is to say... this is not easy to check, is it? Even if it is found, there will be no problem with the 'medicine' prescribed by the doctor. After all, it has an effect over time."
Garlic nodded.
"Even so, we can still find the doctor who prescribed the medicine to Uncle Shui. Maybe who was behind the scenes?"
"I went to look for him, and it turned out..." He frowned and said, "The doctor passed away a week ago."
"Huh?!" Upon hearing this, Lorraine finally understood that what really made Suan Tou suspicious... was this, right? What a coincidence! It looks like someone carefully planned and then killed and silenced him!
Garant sighed slightly: "I have no way to check these for the time being. It's not that there are no clues and suspects... but... the situation in Xinji is not optimistic now. I have no feelings for Xinji, but I have feelings for Uncle Shui. I believe that his lifelong wish is to develop Xinji, so as long as I am around, I will never allow Xinji to be destroyed by other societies! At least, I will do what I should do!"
