In Longkou District, in a room in the courtyard where Gu Tongshan’s body was placed.
Gu Tongshan's wife and his eldest son were sitting on the sofa in the room, wearing mourning clothes and not saying a word.
Nearby, six or seven small leaders of the Ma Gang all looked at the two with cold faces. These people were not from the Zhannan Ma Gang, but the head of the Longkou District Tongkou. Lu Xing had some relationship with the Gu family in the past and was taken care of by Gu Tongshan, but now they were the first to force the palace.
The two sides were deadlocked for a while, and Gu Tongshan's son suddenly looked up and said, "Doing business with Lao Mo is our old rule. If you want to change to a new channel, you don't need to discuss it with us, you should discuss it with the elders in the association."
"Of course we have to discuss this with the elders of the association, but before that, you must clearly express your support for us." A lean man replied in a very tough tone: "Zhanan used to eat all the goods from Lao Mo, and they also wanted us in Longkou to eat some of Lao Mo's goods. In just a few short years, how much money did your Gu family withdraw from these two lines?! Although Mr. Gu is gone, the money he left behind is still there. You have the responsibility to speak a fair word for the brothers below."
"My dad just passed away. Aren't you guys destroying your own bridges by doing this?" Gu Tongshan's eldest son was not convinced. "It's not up to us to decide whose goods to sell! What's more, the Mexicans have always been in contact with the Gu family. If we say that we won't buy their goods anymore, what if the Mexicans retaliate? Who will bear the responsibility?"
"Are you afraid of their revenge now? What were you thinking when you were filling the sacks with money? Now you don't want to take responsibility, so how can you be so calculating?!"
"Yes, you must take the lead in talking to the higher-ups!"
"It's definitely not possible not to talk about it!!"
“…!” Everyone echoed.
Gu Tongshan's wife had a soft personality and she had rarely participated in the affairs of the Coders' Association before. So when faced with so many people questioning her, she felt a little panicked and tears started to fall.
"Show us your attitude, don't just keep silent!" the thin man yelled again.
"You should discuss it with Huzi and Xiangzuo. Now that Old Gu is gone, they are the ones in charge of Zhannan..." Gu Tongshan's wife replied with a trembling voice.
"What are we discussing with them? Let us ask you...!" The thin man continued to press in a loud voice.
“Bang!”
At this moment, the door was roughly pushed open, and Xu Hu, dressed in mourning clothes, rushed in with a sullen face and shouted: "What are you doing?!"
Everyone turned to look at Xu Hu, and no one said a word.
"The funeral isn't over yet, and you can't wait?!" Xu Hu glared and yelled, "Fuck you, I'm not dead yet, when is it your turn to ask about Zhanan's affairs?!"
"Xu Hu, we are also..."
"I don't want to fight with you in a situation like this." Xu Hu pointed outside the door and shouted, "Get out, all of you!"
"Brother Hu, it's unfair to keep selling Mexican goods. The people above are making a lot of money, while the people below are risking their lives but getting the least money." The thin man stood up and whispered to Xu Hu, "It's hard to go against the will of the people. You can't protect them by trying so hard."
After saying that, everyone stood up and walked out with extremely ugly expressions.
Xu Hu frowned and looked at them: "Listen carefully, as long as I am here, you must speak in a friendly manner when you enter this room. If you want to cause trouble, you can't!"
Everyone looked at Xu Hu, and without saying anything, they left together.
Xu Hu put his hands on his hips and looked at Gu Tongshan's wife and children. After calming down, he reached out and pushed the door closed.
"Master's wife, don't pay attention to them. After Master's funeral is over, you can all move to Zhanan. No one will dare to cause trouble there." Xu Hu bent down and sat down.
"Old Gu just passed away, and we, an orphan and a widow, are being bullied." Old Gu's wife cried and grabbed Xu Hu's wrist: "You have to help us, Huzi!"
"Master's wife, don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one dares to mess around."
Gu Tongshan's son gnashed his teeth and cursed: "When my dad was around, who were they?! They were all dogs, and they didn't even dare to fart!"
When Xu Hu heard this, his expression was a little strange. He just lowered his head and looked at Gu Tongshan's wife and said, "Master's wife, if Master hadn't accepted me as a disciple, I would have died. I, Xu Hu, will always remember this kindness. Although he is gone, our relationship remains unchanged. If there is anything happening in the Gu family, I will definitely stand at the forefront."
Lao Gu's wife raised her head and nodded with red eyes: "You are more righteous than Wei Xiangzuo! If Lao Gu hadn't protected him, he would have been dead long ago. Now that Lao Gu is gone, he doesn't even show up."
"You can't say that, Master's wife. Xiang Zuo also has difficulties."
"Don't say anything. A friend in need is a friend indeed." Lao Gu's wife asked anxiously, "They want to change the channel. I don't understand this either. What do you think we should do?"
Xu Hu paused for a moment and immediately replied, "Master's Wife, I'll tell you the truth. The issue of changing the source of goods is getting pretty serious right now. These people have someone behind them supporting them... If you don't change, they won't let it go."
"But the Mexicans have always been in contact with our Gu family. When my father was alive, he also took... took some benefits from them." Gu Tongshan's son was a little embarrassed: "Now that we say we don't want to do it anymore, they will come to cause trouble, and we can't deal with it...!"
"If they come, I will take them on." Xu Hu replied after "thinking for a long time," but to be honest... we are all in the Code Gang, so it is better not to completely fall out with other gangs."
Gu Tongshan's wife looked at Xu Hu, clenched her right fist, and after a long silence, she replied: "Huzi, we will listen to you..."
Xu Hu looked at her and replied with a smile: "Okay, okay, Master's wife!"
After Gu Tongshan's death, Xu Hu, who had been suppressed in Zhanan, began to rise. He took every step steadily, with clear goals and decisive means.
…
The next day.
Su Tianyu, Yu Mingyuan and others drove to Yu Jinrong's hospital and truthfully explained to him the details of the cooperation with Zhou's company.
Yu Jinrong felt that there was no problem with the general direction, and after chatting with everyone for a while, he took a break.
After finishing their work, Yu Mingyuan and his team left the hospital and came to the parking lot at the back, preparing to return to their residence under the escort of Zhou's "security personnel".
In the brightly lit parking lot of the hospital, Dabai turned his head to look at Su Tianyu and asked, "Hey, let's go have a drink tonight?"
"Stop being so cocky. Aren't you afraid that another group of Mexicans will come and beat you up?!" Su Tianyu replied with a sneer.
"I can die, but I can't live a miserable life month after month!" Dabai growled in a low voice, "I'm feeling suffocated!"
"Be obedient, I'll jerk it off for you when I get back." Su Tianyu soothed him, turned around and walked towards the second car.
"Damn, are you telling the truth?" Dabai shouted.
At this moment, a man standing next to a car, with a cigarette in his mouth, suddenly shouted to Dabai: "Hey, you didn't wear a helmet today!"
Dabai turned around, looked at the other party and suddenly exclaimed: "Fuck! Xiaoyu, get the gun!"
