Brunei is a city-state.

But it's different from the city-state in the ordinary sense.

Because...... Brunei is really rich.

Rich and oily, these four words were originally an adjective, but in Brunei they deserve their name.

This is a country that floats on oil.

Residents here do not pay taxes, free education, free medical care, and the state divides the house and only charges extremely low rents...... Rich, prosperous.

This is how people think of Brunei.

But Summer knows that this is only the surface of Brunei.

Under the cover of this prosperity, there is also darkness and chaos.

The biggest contradiction comes from the Malays and the Peranakans.

Of course.

Summer is not interested in any of this.

He checked the flights and sea routes, and found that the fastest flight was also half past twelve tonight, so he was not in a hurry.

I found a hotel nearby, had a bite to eat, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Since yesterday, he has not closed his eyes, and during this period, he has experienced a series of things such as attacks, flights, and counter-killings.

In the end, after more than six hours of sailing, he was now exhausted.

In this way, he slept very deeply.

I didn't wake up until nightfall.

After eating a casual bite to eat, I took a taxi and went straight to a commercial street called Xinglong.

Speaking of which, he also has an old friend in Brunei.

It's just that I haven't seen each other for many years, and I don't know how an old friend is doing.

I didn't say anything all the way, and soon came to Xinglong Street.

Even though it's night, it's still bustling with people.

In the summer, I strolled along the flow of people and finally stopped in front of a cigarette hotel.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, it's still the same, and the old guy doesn't say how to decorate the façade. ”

Summer smiled, looking very relaxed, and stepped into it.

The space in the cigarette hotel is not large, but it is not cramped.

In addition to the normal alcohol and tobacco counter, the most striking thing inside is that in the right corner, there is a small bar counter that resembles a bar.

"Tsk, it still hasn't changed. ”

Summer looked around, walked to the counter, looked at a middle-aged man sitting inside, and said, "Bring me a pack of cigarettes." ”

The middle-aged man glanced up, and his tone was a little lazy, "What smoke." ”

"Old money. ”

Hear the words.

The middle-aged who was originally lazy and lazy was stunned at first, then raised his head and looked at the summer again, "What old money?"

There are no such brands of cigarettes. ”

Xia smiled slightly, "Isn't this a specialty in your store, what about the old Qian guy, I used to ask him to hire someone, but he didn't want to hire him, but now he finally wants to open it?"

The middle-aged pupils shrank suddenly.

Long.

He was stunned and said, "You're Lao Qian's friend, right?"

"Well, barely counted, we're smokers and drinkers.

It's just that I left Brunei because of something. ”

Lao Qian is not a master, let alone a powerful man, nor is he a person from a rich and powerful family.

He was a small vendor of tobacco and alcohol.

Summer is a chance to bond with each other.

None of them.

Old Qian is a great fan of tobacco and alcohol.

He used to make several kinds of cigarettes himself.

And it's not ordinary flue-cured tobacco, but several kinds of tobacco shreds that have been specially processed, mixed and matched by this guy, and then processed in some way...... Not to mention, it's quite exciting to smoke.

However, Summer often laughed at him, saying that it was nonsense at all...... But every time I come, I buy several special cigarettes of the old money brand.

Furthermore.

This guy is also a master of bartending theory.

That's right.

It's theory.

He had a lot of whimsical ways to mix and blend wine, but his manual skills were too poor.

The same is often ridiculed by the summer.

But in fact.

Many of the bartending techniques and methods of summer are learned from here.

Thinking of the time when it was ordinary, but it was extremely reassuring, the corners of Summer's mouth couldn't help but smile.

Approaching the middle-aged man, he lowered his voice and said, "You were hired by him, I used to hear Lao Qian say that he has a very beautiful daughter, have you seen it, beautiful?"

But Lao Qian's wife is quite beautiful, hehe......" After saying that, he squeezed his brows, revealing an expression that you understand.

At this moment of summer, there is no trace of the temperament that a hegemon and a master should have, and he looks like an ordinary person.

It's just that the middle-aged man regained his lazy and lazy expression again, and said lightly, "Old Qian is dead." ”

As soon as the words fell, the smile on Summer's face immediately stiffened.

I chuckled even more.

Don't...... Is it because he has affected him?

His expression became solemn, "Dead?

How did you die!"

This sentence startled the middle-aged man.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he felt the air around him become cold, which made him shiver.

But the next moment, everything was restored.

And Summer also noticed her gaffe, and immediately changed her tone, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited, how did Lao Qian die?"

Sick?

I remember he was only thirty-five, right?"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and stared at Summer carefully for a while.

Only then did he sigh, "I don't know the specifics, but it is rumored that he was killed by the Te Cha family, but whether it is or not, I can't say for sure." ”

"Techa?"

"You don't know about the Teca family?"

The middle-aged man was a little surprised, "Brunei's super family, you don't know?"

"I don't know, it's been a long time since I've been back. ”

Summer shook his head and said earnestly, "Can you tell me specifically, what year did Lao Qian have an accident, and what are those rumors?" ”

"This ......" The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, raised his eyes and looked around, there were no other guests in the cigarette hotel.

"Okay......" he slowly stood up, gesturing to the small bar in the corner, "Go over there, but you'll have to spend." ”

"No problem. ”

Summer nodded without hesitation, and turned around and walked to the small bar first.

The moment he turned around, a cold glow splashed in his eyes, and the cold made people feel palpitations.

It's just that he didn't see that the middle-aged man inadvertently pressed a small button on the counter on the way to get up and walk out.

...... About forty minutes later, Summer left the Smoke Hotel.

His expression remained the same, except for a slight frown on his brows, as if he was thinking about something he couldn't understand.

The middle-aged man told him a lot of relevant rumors, but they were only rumors.

The only thing that is certain is that Lao Qian's death, even if he was not killed by the Techa family as rumored, it must be inseparable from the relationship.

"Techa......" he muttered softly.

A pair of eyes also narrowed slightly.

He and Lao Qian are not the kind of friends who really make friends.

But Summer has always regarded him as a friend.

The kind of friend who is different from everyone else.

Now that he has an accident, let alone Lao Qian, even if he doesn't know someone, since he has met him, it is impossible to turn a blind eye.

"Help. ”

Turbulence.

Just as he was thinking, there was a coquettish shout in front of him, "A big man doesn't want to hit a woman...... I saw a figure running quickly in front of him on the noisy street, and a strong man with five big and three thick people chasing behind.

The strong man shouted and scolded as he ran, "Fart, you thief, stop me!"

Both speak Huaxia.

It's just that this Huaxia language is a bit awkward, neither ordinary people's words, nor some kind of dialect.

It is a tone unique to the Peranakans of Wallai.

Passers-by on the street stopped to watch, and no one came forward, all of them looked at the excitement.

The figure running in front of her was obviously a woman, but her outfit was really strange.

Wearing a loose black robe, he also covered his head with a hood, so that he couldn't see his face clearly.

But she is obviously not a loser, and continues to retort as she runs, "You accidentally lost something yourself and framed me...... Help, wow!"

Passers-by dodged on the street, while the woman in black ran and shouted.

Suddenly, a young man dressed in the same black appeared in the field of vision in front of him, and the eyes of the woman in black couldn't help but flash a touch of cunning.

She stretched out her long legs and shouted at the young man, "Brother save me!"

At the same time as shouting, it was already before the summer, and then he slipped and hid behind the summer, "Help me, brother......" Summer turned his head, squinted at the other party, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

But then I was stunned.

"Please, brother, save me......" The woman pouted, pitiful.

"Huh. ”

Summer smiled and turned around again, looking at the big man who had also rushed to the front.

"You're her brother?"

The big man stared at the summer with a fierce look.
