The first snow in Tianjing was very heavy, and it rained for a long time, for three days and three nights, and the entire Tianjing City was dressed in new silver and white.

White snowflakes fluttered in the air and fell to the ground, covering the dust and sludge, and everything in the world was hidden under the white, spotlessly clean.

Winter in the East China Sea does not snow, and so does Jiangzhou. After leaving Mazui Village for five years, this was the first time Lu Shanmin had seen snow, and he should have been happy, but at this moment, his face was even colder than ice and snow.

Badao Hutong, an antique teahouse, the gate is closed.

Outside the door, in the snow, the snow did not reach the calves, and the snowflakes fell on the hair and clothes, and the black hair and coat were dyed white.

The door slammed open, and a group of people in black clothes and pants walked out.

All the people were divided into two rows, and they all bowed their heads in unison, and their expressions were solemn and sad.

Zhou Tong walked out first, bowed his head and offered a black arm with both hands.

Lu Shanmin's body qi swelled, and the snow on his body suddenly exploded, fluttering in the air. Reach out and take the armband, solemnly strap it on the arm, and raise your foot to cross the threshold.

A simple mourning hall was built in the hall of the teahouse, with an urn on the table of the Eight Immortals, and a black-and-white photo of Xiao Bing hanging on the wall above, still wearing a peaked cap, with angular cheeks and slightly thin lips, lifelike.

Zhou Tong lit a stick of incense and handed it over, and said lightly: "There are no scars on his body, he was not tortured before he died, the knife marks on his neck are slender and narrow, and he is very accurate and fast with a knife, which is his own method."

Lu Shanmin took the incense and bowed three times, inserted the incense, looked at Xiao Bing's portrait in a daze, and said expressionlessly: "What other family does he have?"

"No, his father is an only son, he is also an only son, and his parents both jumped off the building and died when he was ten years old."

"If you look for it again, distant relatives will do it."

Zhou Tong hummed and looked up at Lu Shanmin, "I saw him for the last time at the Public Security Bureau, his demeanor was peaceful, and he didn't leave any regrets."

Lu Shanmin's brows furrowed slightly, "It's too reckless, if the people of the Nalan family find out about it, it will be dangerous."

"Brother Shanmin, don't worry, Mr. Zuo asked me to go to see it in the middle of the night, and no one found out."

Lu Shanmin sighed and continued to stare at Xiao Bing's portrait.

"Zuoqiu, if you have anything to say, please bring it to me."

"Mr. Zuo said that those who achieve great things should endure what ordinary people can't bear, and those who plan the overall situation should be careful to move the whole body."

"What do you think"?

Zhou Tong was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Brother Shanmin is the owner of the Chenlong Group, and replacing Da Yong with Xiao Yong has fulfilled Xiao Bing's brotherhood, but he has abandoned the responsibility of everyone in the group."

Lu Shanmin turned his head to look at Zhou Tong, "This is also what Zuoqiu said."

Zhou Tong didn't avoid Lu Shanmin's gaze, "That's what I want to say."

"They really think I'm a reckless man."

Zhou Tong lowered his head, "Brother Shanmin, Zhou Tong doesn't dare."

Lu Shanmin looked at Xiao Bing's face lightly, and his face was more of an indescribable loneliness than sadness, "In the entire group, Tang Fei and Xiao Bing called me by their names, and from now on, there will be no more."

said and patted Zhou Tong's shoulder, "Zhou Tong, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me."

"Brother Shanmin,".

Lu Shanmin smiled, "Don't worry, I know how important I am to you, Xiao Bing's revenge will be avenged, but I won't be impulsive."

Zhou Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly: "Xiao Bing's death, the vast majority of the people who were planted in the Xinghui Group have left, and I am afraid that the amount of information will be greatly reduced in the near future."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "Don't lose any money that should be given, and at the same time, be careful not to implicate you."

"I understand, in addition, do you need to let Leng Hai bring some people over?"

"The East China Sea is our base camp, it's better to keep more people, the task is to collect information, be responsible for all aspects of communication, and don't worry about anything else."

Lu Shanmin bowed to Xiao Bing again, turned around and walked out.

Stepping on the snow, crunching, every sound hit the heart hard, in just five years, grandpa is gone, Lao Huang is gone, Xiao Wu is gone, Tang Fei is gone, Xiao Bing is gone, and there is a white wolf.

The greatest pain in life is not dying, but living and watching the people around you die, but being unable to do anything about it.

As soon as he took a few steps, there was the sound of footsteps behind him.

Lu Shanmin stopped and waited for the people behind him to follow.

"Brother Shanmin, Brother Zhou asked me to send it."

Lu Shanmin looked at the young man who was a little emaciated, his face was still a little immature, and his smile was a little shy

, I saw it in it just now, and the people who can participate in the ceremony inside are all carefully selected by Zhou Tong, and they can be regarded as Zhou Tong's henchmen.

"What's your name?" Lu Shanmin continued to walk forward slowly.

"My name is Lan Bo, I am twenty years old this year, I have practiced martial arts in Shaolin Temple since I was a child, I went to Tianjing two years ago, and I did martial arts and stand-ins in Hengdian, and then I accidentally met Brother Zhou, I have been with Brother Zhou for a year, Brother Shanmin, I am very excited to see me today."

Lu Shanmin smiled, Lan Bo's cheeks were slightly red, and he spoke quickly, he was indeed very excited.

"Don't get excited, I'm not a tiger, and I can't eat people."

Seeing Lu Shanmin smiling, Lan Bo also smiled, his smile was green and his teeth were white.

"Brother Zhou often tells me about you, I admire you very much, you are my idol."

Lu Shanmin laughed self-deprecatingly, "But I can't even protect my friends and brothers around me."

"Brother Shanmin, it's not your fault."

"Don't blame me, who do you blame"?

"Oh, Brother Zhou said that we are like a big ship, you are the helmsman, we are sailors, the sea is changing, if you want to sail smoothly to the other side, it is inevitable to sacrifice a few sailors, but if the helmsman is sacrificed, the whole ship will die."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "Aren't you afraid of death"?

Lan Bo shook his head fiercely, "Don't be afraid, I just want to do an earth-shattering career when I come to Tianjing, Brother Zhou and you gave me this opportunity, it's too late for me to be happy."

Lu Shanmin raised his head, and the snowflakes fell on his face, cold and cold.

"Xiao Bing once said something similar, he said that he wanted to realize his ideals in me, and wanted me to prove that even the lowest level of the depths can reach the peak."

Lan Bo nodded heavily, "Brother Xiao's ideal has been realized, you have set an example for us, every week Brother tells us about you, we are full of enthusiasm."

Lu Shanmin looked at the excited Lan Bo in a daze, his still green face was full of passion, and said after a while:

"Not yet, but I'm not going to let him down."

"Brother Shanmin, Brother Zhou has arranged a secret mission for me, do you have anything to explain to me?"

Lu Shanmin stopped, frowned slightly, and thought quietly for a long time, thinking about how to tell this young man.

After a long time, he gently patted Lan Bo on the shoulder and said in a commanding tone, "Come back alive."
