Chapter 359: Old Man Ma's Past

………… However, after recovering Ma Chao, the old man Ma also found that his grandson was an authentic, ordinary country child, who had no ideals and pursuits, and what he wanted to do most was to leave the countryside, find a beautiful wife in a big city, and then settle down.

And the old man Ma, who originally planned to pass on his skills to Ma Chao, saw that Ma Chao had missed the best age to learn art and that it was impossible to inherit the skill of stealing the door, so he completely extinguished the idea of cultivating his grandson, and took him to the island city to settle down.

However, you can't pass on the things that steal the door to your grandson, and the old man is pretty good at appreciating treasures, after all, stealing treasures must first know treasures.

So he used the money in his hand to open this Jigu Pavilion antique shop in the island city. Of course, why is it the island city, not the Pan Jiayuan in the capital, it is not written in the diary of this old man, and Liu Dong is not very clear. However, according to Liu Dong's speculation, the old man who can't get rid of Ma was originally from the island city, and he is old and nostalgic, and he just wants to return to his roots.

And with the Jigu Pavilion antique shop, the grandfather and grandson settled down in this island city. However, Ma Chao, who entered the city for the first time, but Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, and everything was fresh. Entertainment venues such as bars and cabarets have become frequent destinations. Especially at Caesar's Bar, Ma Chao is a frequent customer there.

And the people of the Four Seas Gang saw that Ma Chao was generous every time, so they naturally targeted him. Pull him into the casino in every possible way and make him addicted to gambling. At the beginning, Ma Chao was still able to restrain himself and lose thousands of dollars each time. But soon the gambling addiction grew, and the money was losing more and more. From a few thousand to tens of thousands. And finally to millions. Incorrigible. Every time, the old man Ma is half angry, but he is such a grandson, and the old man Ma can't really do anything to Ma Chao.

In desperation, he had no choice but to sell all the property he had stolen abroad for half of his life, and most of the money and part of the treasure were deposited in Swiss banks, and the remaining small part was taken back home.

Originally, what he hoped was that after Ma Chao gambled, he would be able to get lost and return, and then inherit Jigu Pavilion to live a down-to-earth life. Then he passed on to him little by little what he had deposited in the Swiss bank.

Who knew that after Ma Chao got money from his grandfather, he actually intensified and lost more. Not only did he lose all the money that Old Man Ma brought back, but even most of the antiques accumulated by Old Man Ma in opening an antique shop were all mortgaged. In the end, he owed five or six million gambling debts, and was called by the people of the Four Seas Gang. The angry old man recurred from his old injury and lay down in the hospital.

Knowing that his time was short, the old man Ma put his diary, the passbook of the Swiss bank, and the key to the rented safe into a small wooden box. and put it in the living room on the second floor of Jigu Pavilion, where his boss who had passed away a long time ago was placed. In the mezzanine of the shrine where the son and daughter-in-law are ranked. And specially instructed Ma Chao to put his rank up after his death, clean it from time to time, and often worship.

But if Ma Chao keeps his words in his heart, and has a little respect for his family as his grandfather, then as long as he regularly cleans the shrine dedicated to the rank, then he will naturally be able to find the wooden box that Old Man Ma put in the mezzanine of the underground shrine of the rank, and he will be able to get all the savings of Old Man Ma for half of his life.

However, the old man Ma really miscalculated, for his parents and grandmother who had never met since childhood, Ma Chao did not have the slightest feelings, even if he was a grandfather who had lived together for three years, the feelings were not very deep. In addition, he likes to gamble, so after the cremation and burial of the old man's body, in addition to treating the Jigu Pavilion as a place to sleep and temporarily shelter, he didn't regard it as his home at all, as for the shrine dedicated to the ranking, since the old man passed away, Ma Chao has never looked at it again.

Except for the occasional time when I go to pick up the antiques in the safe, and occasionally pass by, this ranked shrine is the same as the table and sofa next to it in Ma Chao's heart.

Therefore, in the half a year between the death of Old Man Ma and Liu Dong's arrival in Jigu Pavilion, Ma Chao did not know that the cheap grandfather who came out of his 'halfway home' actually left himself a huge fortune that was enough for him to spend several lifetimes.

Closed the thick notebook and looked at the passbook in his hand, of course, Liu Dong didn't know the words on it, and he couldn't see how much money he had saved. And then add a key. It's all the wealth that Old Man Ma left to Ma Chao.

At the beginning, it was for these three things that he insisted on buying Jigu Pavilion.

"Old man Ma, since I have obtained the wealth you have accumulated for half a lifetime, then fulfill your dying wish!" Remembering that at the end of the diary, he wrote countless times that he hoped that Ma Chao would quit gambling and then start a family and live a good life, so Liu Dong decided to help Old Man Ma realize it.

……

On the fourth day after Liu Dong got the property right certificate of Jigu Pavilion, he personally put Mu Gang and Ma Chao on the plane to Quancheng.

There is only one task he gave Mu Gang, to practice Ma Chao well and teach him kung fu, although he started late, it is impossible to reach the current realm of Liu Dong and Mu Gang, but it should not be a problem to deal with six or seven strong men in the future.

Of course, Ma Chao's pitiful expression was automatically filtered by Liu Dong.

After the two left, Liu Dong put away the cash in the bank, and then handed over the decoration of Jigu Pavilion to the decoration company. Then I bought a direct flight from the island city to Wu-Han! The day after seeing Mu Gang away, Liu Dong also took a plane and left! The matter of the island city has also come to an end for the time being.

"Big brother, that Liu Dong has already left by plane, and the destination is Wu-Han!"

After listening to Ma Youde's words, Wei Fei nodded silently.

After these days of investigation, he has a clear understanding of Liu Dong's origin. It's just that he didn't expect that this person would be so powerful, not only with a deep background, but also with a lot of money.

Now, Wei Fei is very glad that he didn't act recklessly at the beginning, otherwise if he moved Liu Dong, his Sihai Gang foundation would be uprooted.

"The wealthy Li family, Jiang Weiguo, secretary of the Quancheng Municipal Party Committee, Zhao Defa, chairman of Huatai Group, and he is also the 'Jade King', the master of antique appraisal, the director of the Quancheng Gambling Stone Association, and the member of the Quancheng Collection Association, with a net worth of billions! What a sensation it would be if such a social status died! Wei Fei said secretly in his heart.

Of course, the news that Liu Dong is the chairman of Dongchao Group is not much known because the time is too short. As for the cooperation with Xie Zhonglin Fuxing Gambling Stone Company and the establishment of Hengyuan Real Estate with Zhou Bin and Wang Cheng, even less is known. Now people know more about the Agarwood Pavilion in Liu Dong's hands.

An admission assessment of the Quancheng Collection Association made Liu Dong famous, and at the same time, it also brought the Agarwood Pavilion inherited by Liu Dong into people's field of vision.

"Old horse!"

"Big brother, what do you command!" Ma Youde hurriedly said.

"In the future, let your brothers stay away from Jigu Pavilion, and no one will provoke Liu Dong again, understand?" Wei Fei said in a slightly heavy tone.

"I see, big brother!" He also knew the details of Liu Dong, and he was responsible for investigating this matter. Therefore, he also agreed with Wei Fei's decision. Being an enemy of someone like Liu Dong who has a deep background, many friends, and extraordinary strength himself is not good for the Four Seas Gang.

"Big brother, if the Yamaguchi-gumi come here, ......?" Ma Youde hesitated.

"Say, know what to say, even if we don't say it, so many people in the gang have seen it, and we can't hide it! Moreover, we still have to make money, and without the Yamaguchi-gumi, we have to find someone else. It will consume a lot of our time and energy! After a pause, Wei Fei raised his head and said with a little confidence in his words: "A Liu Dong is not enough to make us afraid of that level!" ”

Although Liu Dong has a deep background and is not easy to provoke, his Four Seas Gang can develop steadily in the island city, and until today, the power of the official face is naturally not to be underestimated.

However, they belong to the gang, which is different from white-faced characters like Liu Dong. Otherwise, Wei Fei would not have been so scrupulous.

"By the way, when the Yamaguchi Group inquired about the news, I also told them about Liu Dong's background by the way, I believe that knowing this, those guys in the Yamaguchi Group will also have scruples and dare not go too far! After all, Huaxia is still the Chinese who have the final say, and when the Japanese come here, even the dragon has to be coiled. What's more, they're just a long worm! Wei Fei said proudly.

"I see, big brother!"

"Alright, let's go down!"

……

Liu Dong naturally didn't know, but now Wei Fei's Four Seas Gang knew his details, and changed their strategy and no longer clashed with him.

Of course, even if he knew, Liu Dong wouldn't care much. Wei Fei's Four Seas Gang is not the Japanese Yamaguchi-gumi, his roots are in the country, unless he doesn't want to continue to mix, he won't move himself. Liu Dong knows this in his heart.

After Liu Dong got off the plane, he took a bus straight to the long-distance bus station without resting, and after waiting for about an hour, he got on a long-distance bus from Wu-Han to Jing-zhou City in Hubei Province.

Jing-Zhou ancient called Jiangling is the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period of Chu capital location, and most of the emperors and princes tombs are buried not far from the capital or station, most of the tombs of the kings of Chu are also in Jiangling, that is, next to the current Jing-Zhou, especially now has begun to excavate part of the Xiongjia Tomb Chu King Tomb, its grand scale, plus the main mound, the auxiliary mound, the carriage pit, the burial pit, the sacrificial pit together, than the famous Zeng Marquis B tomb is several times larger.

However, due to the state's prohibition of active excavation of the emperor's tomb due to technical conditions, the main tomb of Xiongjia Tomb is still sealed underground. Of course, many people speculate that this is the tomb of King Zhuang because of the abundant funerary goods and the grand scale of construction. However, Liu Dong, who got Uncle Li's note in the capital, understood that it was not. (To be continued......)
