Chapter Twenty-Eight: Falling Short
When Han Nowei made it to the list of the 12-man smash brawl, it had been a year since he signed up for the competition. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Mo Ao Gutuo Shao Zhi brought back the dental tray powder came in handy, and the three keys were ready. According to Mo Aogu's plan, they were going to get Gao Zhi in the final of the big brawl in a month, and then leave the Yin and Yang Pass as soon as possible.
Everything seemed to be under control, but this made Han Nuowei feel uneasy, especially every time he met Gao Zhi, the other party's appearance that seemed to be smiling but not smiling made him feel indescribably weird.
On this day, Han Nuowei was eating in the cafeteria, and the person next to him suddenly got up and left before he finished eating. At first, Han Nuowei didn't care, but later more and more people left, and he gradually felt that something was wrong.
Han Nuowei raised his head and found that there were no more prisoners in the cafeteria. Some swallowed the pancakes in their hands as they walked, and some hurriedly wiped their mouths with their sleeves, apparently leaving in a hurry.
But there were also some who didn't go, they didn't have cutlery in front of them, just empty tables. These people sat in small and two, not close to Han Nuowei, seemingly casual, but they happened to surround Han Nuowei in the middle.
Han Nuowei slowed down the speed of eating, he looked around, two prison guards stood at the entrance of the cafeteria and chatted, and the other two leaned against the small fried window of the cafeteria, gagging with the people inside, laughing happily. And under the big TV in the cafeteria, seven or eight prison guards gathered, watching a popular Qing court drama with relish, and when there was a scene of the heroine soaking in a wooden barrel and taking a petal bath, a group of people let out a heartfelt laughter.
Strangely, the guards didn't seem to care at all why the prisoners hurried back to their cells without even finishing their meals.
Thinking of this, Han Nuowei became more and more vigilant.
At this time, Gao Zhi and several of his henchmen came over.
As soon as Gao Zhi waved his hand, the rest of the people dispersed into a small circle and surrounded Han Nuowei.
Gao Zhi slowly sat down opposite Han Nuowei.
Han Nuowei secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, Mo Aogu went out again today, and it would not be a problem to deal with Gao Zhi's younger brother alone, but if Gao Zhi also joined the battle, the chances of winning would be very small. He thought about it again, in another month, there would be a big brawl between the twelve, and there was no need for Gao Zhi to start a fight with him in advance. Thinking like this, Han Nuowei put his mind at ease and continued to eat slowly and methodically.
"You're a fart, are you blind, don't you see our boss?" A horse boy couldn't hold his breath, and saw Han Nuowei eating without raising his head, so he yelled at Han Nuowei.
Han Nuowei ate the last bite of food unhurriedly and drank the soup again. He drank three sips of soup in a row before he raised his head unhurriedly: "I saw it, but I'm eating, don't you see?"
"Damn, I'm going to kill you!" the boy was furious and was about to rush up.
Gao Zhi made a gesture to signal them not to cause trouble, and then said to Han Nuowei, "Do you know who I am?"
Han Nuowei nodded: "I know." ”
A smile appeared on Gao Zhi's face: "You don't seem to be afraid of me?"
Han Nuowei frowned: "You don't seem to be a prison guard." After speaking, without waiting for the other party to answer, he also smiled slightly: "So, why should I be afraid of you?"
"Boss!" The horse boy who took the lead had already rolled up his sleeves and glared at Han Nuowei with fierce eyes, just waiting for Gao Zhi's order.
"Stay away. Gao Zhitou said without looking back.
The leader was stunned.
"Didn't you hear?"
"I heard it!" Ma Tsai nodded, and quickly took a few steps back with the others.
"Farther away. Gao Zhi still didn't look back and said coldly.
"Yes!" The horses took a few more steps back, and now, they were already five or six meters away from Han Nuowei and Gao Zhi.
A creepy smile appeared on Han Nuowei's ugly face: "Little brother is so far away from you, if something happens to you, how can they help you?"
Gao Zhi supported his chin with his hand and propped it on the table, "Look at your posture, do you want to replace me?"
Han Nuowei laughed, his laughter was very exaggerated, attracting the sideways glances of several prison guards, and one of the prison guards shouted: "2201, be honest, go back when you finish eating!"
Han Nuowei bowed respectfully: "Report, I haven't finished eating yet!"
"Then eat well!"
"Yes!"
Han Nuowei saw that the prison guard turned his head to watch TV again, and said to Gao Zhi: "I don't want to replace you, and I have no interest in showing myself in front of your little brother." ”
Gao Zhi stared at Han Nuowei directly: "What a strange person." ”
Han Nuowei shrugged: "When you sit in prison for eight years, you won't go anywhere normally." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Gao Zhi's eyes, but it was fleeting, he couldn't take his eyes off the golden eyes on this ugly face, and the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt: "I checked you." ”
Han Nuowei didn't react, he picked up the soup bowl and drank the last mouthful of soup. Judging from the cutlery in front of him, he ate very cleanly, and there was nothing left.
"You used to be a poor student with a carving knife, and you probably didn't even fight in a group, at least you didn't know anything until you came in. Gao Zhi picked up Han Nuowei's spoon, sandwiched it between his two fingers, and rotated it several angles as if he was admiring a work of art, "You learned all your kung fu from that old man." ”
"Does it matter?"
Gao Zhi shook his head, "Do you know why we didn't let the old man compete?"
Han Nuowei thought seriously for a few seconds, "Because you're afraid of losing." ”
Gao Zhi curled the corners of his mouth, "Young man, you can't be so hostile to me. ”
Han Nuowei tapped lightly on the table in protest: "I think you are hostile to me. ”
Gao Zhi suddenly held his hand knocking on the table: "Don't talk nonsense, I came today to find you for something." ”
Han Nuowei remained silent, and did not withdraw his hand, just let the other party hold it: "Oh, what's the matter?"
Gao Zhi glanced around, and then said slowly: "I have observed you for a year, and the twelve people are fighting, and you have a great hope of winning." If I end up fighting you, honestly, I'm still interested. ”
"Thank you for your love. ”
Gao Zhi said: "However, you have to think about it, you will stay in this Yin and Yang Pass for many years, and there is a big difference between someone and no one." ”
Han Nuowei looked at him with wide eyes: "What do you mean, you want to cover me?"
Gao Zhi said, "Don't you want to go into the factory? Don't you want to contact your family?"
Han Nuowei's expression changed slightly: "Let's just say it." ”
Gao Zhi coughed: "I think you look like a smart person, why don't you understand?"
Han Nuowei gently withdrew his hand: "You don't want me to fake boxing, right?"
Gao Zhi's expression was as usual: "You don't need to say it so ugly, if you really fight, you may not be able to win." I just don't think there's any need to beat you to death. ”
"What's the plus? That's what you said earlier?"
"And half of your prize money, I'll give it to you when the game is over. ”
Han Nuowei laughed: "Sounds very good. It's a pity that I find it more attractive to beat you. ”
Gao Zhi's face finally became ugly: "Don't think that you win a few matches and you're awesome!" He suddenly used his thumb to break the soup spoon in an instant, "When I was boxing, you were still peeing your pants." ”
Han Nuowei was unmoved: "I have nothing to do, but at least I won't ask someone to fight fake boxing." As he spoke, he sighed, "Have you looked for the remaining eleven winners?
Gao Zhi's eyelids jumped, but he didn't speak.
"If I had known that you had won the previous tournaments, I wouldn't have been nervous. I'm sorry I've been preparing for so long. ”
Gao Zhi's eyes were full of murderous aura, and Han Nuowei subconsciously clenched his fists, just waiting for Gao Zhi to pounce. But in the end, Gao Zhi just stood up slowly: "Okay, then we'll see." ”
Gao Zhi's reaction surprised Han Nuowei very much, he had to raise his vigilance, and Mo Aogu also followed Han Nuowei for several days in a row, for fear that he would be retaliated against if he was alone. The strange thing is that the high-ranking person did not move, whether it was a chance encounter in the Fangfeng Square or a queue in the cafeteria, the other party never ignored him as if he didn't know Han Nuowei.
Before you know it, a month has passed, and there is only one day left until the final.
After dinner, Han Nuowei and Mo Aogu played blind chess in the cell. Mo Aogu ate a few and was very proud. "Wait, do you want to try Go?"
Han Nuowei saw that he was going to lose, so he lost his mood: "Forget it, what about the three hundred and sixty-one intersections, there are too many memorizations, I am a little tired today, and I don't want to spend too much time." ”
Mo Aogu saw that he was indeed lacking in interest, so he said thoughtfully: "Okay, it's up to you." By the way, today I heard Sun Danqiu and Shao Su talk about some gossip, it's about Gao Zhi, are you interested in listening to it?"
"Say it. ”
"Actually, it can be regarded as the history of Gao Zhi's fortune. Gao Zhi's parents were both migrant workers working on the construction site, and after an accident, they both died, and he was brought up by his grandmother.
Gao Zhi's family was extremely poor, and when he was a child, he made a living by picking up rotten vegetable leaves or fruits thrown away by vendors in the vegetable market. As soon as he entered junior high school, his grandmother died, and since then there has been no one to discipline him, and he spends his days with gangsters who love to fight, and he doesn't read much.
Later, because he could endure hardships and had good patience, someone recommended him to learn boxing. Gao Zhi was tall and shaved his head, so he got the nickname 'Guangzhu Gao'. ”
Han Nuowei heard this and laughed. "Why doesn't anyone call it now?"
"Do you remember when I told you about a man named Zhong Fanxiao?"
"Well, remember, a broker who smuggles arms and sells intelligence. ”
"This person still has some ability, and several underworld forces in Hancheng back then were finally merged into his own private by him.
"Don't tell me that Gao Zhi is also Zhong Fanxiao's subordinate?" Han Nuowei's eyes widened.
"Unfortunately, he really is. ”
"Gao Zhi is not a person from the Benevolent Society?" Han Nuowei stood up, his movements were too big, and his forehead hit the bed board of the upper bunk. He rubbed his head and asked nervously, "Then how can he be so calm? He's been in for years!"
"Don't be nervous, I've thought about it carefully, although Gao Zhi is Zhong Fanxiao's person, he has nothing to do with the Buren Society. Mo Aogu hurriedly comforted Han Nuowei, "Have you forgotten? Zhong Fanxiao was shot dead by the Chinese police in 1991." Counting up, Gao Zhi was about nineteen or twenty years old at that time, which was the time when he was ambitious. ”
"You mean, Gao Zhi took over Zhong Fanxiao's gang?"
"It's hard to say, but I think it's a possibility. Of course, what he took over should be the business on Zhong Fanxiao's table, and those people Zhong Fanxiao secretly cooperated with would definitely not be able to be contacted. ”
Han Nuowei sat down again, "To be honest, I'm glad you said that he is not from the Unkind Society. ”
"Why?"
"This man makes me feel unspeakably uncomfortable. He is different from Yu Jingbo, if Yu Jingbo is the kind of hypocritical warm-hearted person, then Gao Zhi is sincere and shameless. I know how to deal with people like Yu Jingbo, but Gao Zhi gives me a headache. ”
Mo Aogu touched his chin: "I haven't dealt with Gao Zhi, and I haven't even spoken, but since you said that, then I have to beware of him." ”
"Isn't there a weakness in the high deais?"
Mo Aogu shook his head: "I haven't found it for the time being." I heard that he had a wife before he was imprisoned, and it seems that the relationship is quite good. But then his wife died, and it seems that he was killed by his enemies. ”
"I walked a lot at night and met ghosts. Han Nuowei said, "Gao Zhi is also miserable, as the boss of the underworld, he can't even protect his own woman." ”
"You still sympathize with him? Mo Aogu was about to sarcastically say a few words to Han Nuowei, when he suddenly found Han Nuowei's eyes squinting.
Mo Aogu asked, "What time is it?" are you sleepy?"
"I'm not sleepy. I think the light in the hallway is a bit harsh and uncomfortable to look at. Han Nuowei scratched his neck and frowned as he spoke, "Senior, my throat is itchy and hot. ”
Mo Aogu touched his forehead: "So hot?"
Han Nuowei shook his head: "I seem to have a stomachache too, what the hell." ”
Mo Aogu asked, "What did you eat for dinner?"
"Steamed sea bass. ”
Mo Aogu was surprised and said, "This dish is not written on the blackboard in the cafeteria." ”
"No, no. But when I was cooking, the canteen master said that there were too many dishes in the box today, and I couldn't finish eating, so he served them to me. Han Nuowei thought for a while, and added: "I am not the only one who eats the fish, the people in front of me and behind me, the canteen master also serves them fish." He hesitated for a moment, "Gao Zhi won't involve other prisoners in order to harm me, right?"
Mo Ao's face changed color in anger: "Confused! We have been careful for so many days, and we still have been tricked!"
At this time, Han Nuowei was already in so much pain that he couldn't straighten his waist. He bent over, leaned against the bed rail, and slowly walked to the toilet. But his breathing became more and more difficult, and his face turned purple, and although the toilet was in front of him, he couldn't spit it out.
Mo Aogu was so anxious that he had to walk over, pinch his chin, put a finger into his mouth, and pressed it against the back wall of his throat, while pressing it down hard.
Unexpectedly, Han Nuowei suddenly used great strength to push away Mo Aogu.
Then he fell to the ground, twitching uncontrollably, clumps of grayish-white foam welling up from his mouth, and veins on his forehead. Mo Aogu was shocked, and rushed to the door of the cell with an arrow and shouted: "Someone!"
