After Lao Xiang knew that Mark failed to send Wu Honggang away, he already had a premonition that something was going to happen to him. But Lao Xiang tried his best, but in the end he couldn't convince Wu Honggang, and the latter didn't answer his phone before he had to do something.

Although he had already expected the ending in his heart, when Wu Honggang really had an accident, Lao Xiang was still a little confused. And he is not so sad and desperate, because he knows that he is in this river and lake, and while gaining fame and fortune, he is also destined to see these things, so he is just worried and feels sorry for his only friend who may be sentenced to death.

On the other end of the phone, Lao He's tone was still very angry: "You don't know in your heart, does Wu Honggang know how much we have to do?...... If you let him in, if we don't get it right, we'll be all finished! When I called you before, I said that the city attaches great importance to this case this time, and Wu Honggang hit the muzzle of the gun, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be regarded as a typical example. You ...... do that!"

"Lao He, how many years have you known Wu Honggang, and how many years have he been friends with you......?" Once we were friends, more than 20 years of relationship, but I didn't hear a little worry about him from your mouth, but it was all blame!"

Lao He was silent when he heard this.

"Don't worry, I'll promise you with my head that he won't bite you out of anything! My chest was clogged and I hung up ......!" Lao Xiang hung up the phone with a pang, and directly pressed the shutdown button.

……

Time passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, Wu Honggang, Xing Hai, Da Gang and others were arrested, and a week passed, and Lao Xiang was lying on the bed in the hospital during this time, and he also saw too many "official friends" he had made over the years.

"Yu Ju, Wu Honggang, do you think we can help with the operation?!"

"Lao Xiang, it's not that buddies don't help, but I really can't intervene in this matter. Wu Honggang's case is too sensitive, and he shot and killed people when there was a meeting in the city, and this must be handled strictly. Whoever speaks now is just ignorant!"

"Hey, Team Guo, hehe, I'm Lao Xiang! Are you busy? Well, I want to tell you about Hong Gang...... Oh, you're not local, okay, forget it, Eun, come back and talk about it!"

"Brother Dong, don't worry, you have to help run this case of Wu Honggang, I will pay a little more, there is no problem at all!"

"Lao Xiang, if you just give me a mountain of gold, then I have to be able to spend it?......? Ah, you can find someone else in this matter. Hey, by the way, your sister-in-law heard that you had an accident and asked me to buy something on the way, but I was too busy to go to the mall...... This is 5,000 yuan, you take it, let your daughter-in-law buy some fruit or something, and take care of your injuries!"

“……！”

Similar conversations are staged in the ward every day, and Lao Xiang has seen twenty or thirty former good friends within a week, but none of them are willing to help, and they don't even agree to help Wu Honggang say a word!

After several years of glory, Lao Xiang finally realized at this moment what it means to be warm and cold, what it means to be warm and cold in good times, full of friends, and when it is low, people go to tea and cool.

Is Wu Honggang's case really that difficult? Cai Ling's brother committed a crime with a gun, and he also had the act of stabbing Wu Honggang to death with a knife, and the latter was at most a man with a gun and a manslaughter! So, is this kind of thing really like those "friends" say, they can't touch it, they can't touch it, and they are so sensitive that they can't even mention it?

Not necessarily!

They didn't agree to help, maybe there was a reason why the case was too serious, but more importantly, everyone knew in their hearts that as soon as Wu Hong had an accident, the city would definitely be eyeing Lao Xiang, and once the bastard was targeted by the official, the future days can be imagined.

When people are proud, it is difficult to distinguish who is really good with them and who is an ordinary friend. Just like what Shen Tianze said, friends are not afraid of being really bad, but afraid of fake good, because when you are proud of the spring breeze and invest in your feelings for your friends, the other party may treat you as a social relationship and a person who can do things......

……

When all the relationships turned from hot to cold, Lao Xiang thought for a long time before finally dialing Brother Jiu's phone.

Weekend, noon.

Brother Jiu came to the hospital with Shen Tianze, sat next to Lao Xiang, and talked with him about Wu Honggang.

“…… Guess how many people I've met and how many phone calls I've made recently?" asked Lao Xiang with a wry smile at Brother Jiu.

"Hehe!" Brother Jiu smiled helplessly, opened his mouth and replied: "Friends, you can't make too many friends, you have to be dedicated, it's enough to stand by your side at any time!"

“…… Can you stand by my side?" Lao Xiang was a little weak and helpless when he asked this, because his previous relationship with Brother Jiu had not reached the point where he could share weal and fall together.

"Before I came, I also discussed with Xiao Ze, whether to come to see you, or to find an excuse to push!" Brother Jiu peeled an orange and replied with a smile: "But this little cub told me that in addition to being rich now, I also have to have a little human taste! The project of Kek Lok Temple is done by three people, and since I am involved, I have to have a beginning and an end!"

"Yes, I said that!" Shen Tianze interjected with bared teeth.

"Hehe!" Lao Xiang nodded and smiled, pointed at Brother Jiu and said: "Hong Gang has done all the work for Xinghai, and the project of Jile Temple is now short of a Huixin monk, let's think next, it's not too difficult!"

"I'll put the finishing touches on it!" replied, Shen Tianze nibbled on an apple.

"You can do the project of Jile Temple by yourself, but I can't ask anyone else for Hong Gang's business, so you can only bother with a little bit!" Lao Xiang said to Brother Jiu in a concise voice: "I don't ask for anything else, as long as I can save Hong Gang's life, then I will be content! The money spent on handling this case is all mine!"

"Hong Gang's case, I'll try my best!" Brother Jiu ate orange petals, frowned and replied: "But you don't need to withdraw from the project of Jile Temple, when you are discharged from the hospital, let's get it together!"

"One yard to one yard, the project of Jile Temple, I won't mix it up!" Lao Xiang shook his head without hesitation: "It's really not involved!"

Next to the hospital bed, Shen Tianze listened to Lao Xiang's words, and couldn't help but look at him again, and suddenly felt in his heart that Lao Xiang's whole temperament, or personality, seemed to have changed. He seemed to look a little tired, a little cold, and even desperate.

"I won't persuade you if you think about it, but if you want to mix it up again, you can do it at any time!" Brother Jiu replied succinctly.

"Yes!" the old man nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go first!"

"Hey!"

The words fell, and after the two talked a few words again, Brother Jiu took Shen Tianze away. After Lao Xiang lay on the bed for a while, he picked up the steel crutch and prepared to walk out of the ward and go to the toilet with one leg in the air.

inside the stairwell.

“…… I said, he's recovering from his injuries and I've got to take care of him!"

"He's lame, healed, and crippled, so how long are you going to take care of him?"

A man and a woman, two voices suddenly came, Lao Xiang instinctively glanced in along the glass, and saw his wife Xiaofeng and a man standing opposite each other, arguing.
