In this world, trees cannot grow without deep soil.

Eighteen years ago, the second generation of great men delivered a speech on the way to the south, calling on the whole country to speed up the pace of reform. The spring breeze of reform blows all over the land of China from south to north. The four Gu Yufei brothers used the first pot of gold earned from smuggling to set up the first village-run enterprise in Wolongtang Village.

In the following years, the village-run enterprises in Wolongtang Village developed rapidly under the blowing of this warm wind. Soon from a million to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and then became famous, and was established by the provincial party committee as a model of reform and development and self-improvement. In more than ten years, it has expanded from a million to a 10 billion group. This has to be said to be a miracle, but the person who created this miracle was not the Gu Yufei brothers, but that era.

The so-called times create heroes, and that's what it is. When the situation is over, there are not many heroes left. It's 2010 A.D., and the era that belonged to Gu Yufei has passed. Today's Wolongtang Village has no former glory, and the business kingdom created by Gu Yufei is on the verge of bankruptcy and collapse. There is not much time left for Gu Tianyou's wonderful hand to rejuvenate.

In front of the visiting window of Qinzhou Prison, Gu Tianyou handed the lit cigarette to Miao Shifan opposite.

Gu Tianyou: "I don't remember that you have a habit of smoking, otherwise I will bring you a few when I come." ”

Miao Shifan: "If you live in it for a long time, you will have some bad habits unconsciously. ”

Gu Tianyou: "This thing can relax people's spirits, and it's not a bad habit for you." ”

Miao Shifan smiled indifferently: "When you grow up, you can enlighten me." ”

Gu Tianyou sighed lightly: "The teacher has had more gray hair in recent years, but he doesn't look old at all. ”

"Why did you suddenly want to come to see me?" Miao Shifan's eyes are sharp, and he seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

"I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!" Gu Tianyou's expression was calm and straight to the point.

Miao Shifan was very satisfied with Tianyou's frankness, and nodded: "Tell me, is there anything that I, a prisoner, can help?" ”

Gu Tianyou went straight to the point: "Chairman Miao Ruolin of Haizhou Holdings is your niece?" ”

"I haven't been in touch for years." Miao Shifan nodded and asked rhetorically, "What?" You have something to do with her and need me to introduce you? ”

"Wolongtang is going to collapse soon, two years ago I transferred all the equity to Su Xiazhu for free, and now she is anxious to repay the debt and is planning to sell the equity, and there is a potential buyer called Haizhou Group." Gu Tianyou got straight to the point: "As far as I know, Haizhou Group belongs to Haizhou Holdings, which is the largest private economic entity in Haizhou City. ”

"It's true that I founded it, but in my hands it's nowhere near where it is today." Miao Shifan took a deep breath of cigarette and said leisurely: "I have been here for many years, and the outside world has long ceased to care, and Haizhou Holdings has developed very well in recent years, which is the result of the joint efforts of Ruolin and everyone in the group." ”

Gu Tianyou's words changed: "I won't talk nonsense, in a word, if you help me with this, I will help you save a person who is very important to you!" ”

"Someone who is important to me?" Miao Shifan was slightly stunned, and then his face changed suddenly, and his eyes suddenly became cold, making people shudder.

Gu Tianyou ignored his forced gaze and continued to stimulate him: "A person who has been hurt by you for many years, but is the person you miss and care about the most!" ”

"I don't remember anyone like that." Miao Shifan snorted coldly, and the landlubber had a hard mouth.

"One night many years ago, I was reading a book at your place late and I accidentally saw a story about Plato and his male friend, and I asked you a few words out of curiosity, but it turned out that you were inexplicably angry, and you were completely insane at that time, and you were like a different person, and you said a lot of things to me, including some of the things you don't like to be known, and the name that was mentioned the most at that time was Geng Jianjun."

Gu Tianyou said: "I remember that you told me at that time that you and this Uncle Geng had lived together on a desert island for three months. ”

Miao Shifan said coldly: "He was a comrade-in-arms who escaped with me back then, is there anything wrong with me mentioning him?" ”

"I didn't say anything wrong, but later, out of curiosity, I found your original unit by email as your student, and found out that after this person returned to his hometown, he first worked in the 3512 Construction Machinery Factory of the Railway Bureau for a few years 616161616161"

"Say no more!" Miao Shifan frowned, suddenly snuffed out the hot cigarette butt, ignored the pain of the flesh and skin on his fingertips, and said, "Say, what do you have in your hand?" ”

Gu Tianyou said: "This Uncle Geng encountered some trouble a while ago, and it hasn't been solved yet, so it may kill him." ”

"For his life?" Miao Shifan suddenly smiled disdainfully and asked rhetorically: "Do you know what kind of person he is?" ”

"Thirty-two years ago, he served in the special service company of a regiment directly under the Southern Xinjiang Military Region, and he was a special operations hero who made many meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and he was jointly commended by the three general departments, and he also made special meritorious service.

Gu Tianyou said in a mocking tone: "The only thing he is good at is special operations, but he is willing to give up his military career for you, after you left the army together, your career is thriving, but he is plummeting, and now he is alone at the gate of the family area of the Wuzhong Railway Bureau Machinery Factory to repair bicycles for a living." ”

"He's a casual guy about the details of his life, and it's not hard for him to live a better life." Miao Shifan was unmoved.

Gu Tianyou continued to sneer: "He is indeed amazing, but it's a pity that he fell in love with someone he shouldn't love, and he ruined his life, and now he has to risk his life to fight against the demolition team for a shelter from the wind and rain." As he spoke, he spread out a newspaper in front of Miao Shifan.

This is a Wuzhong Daily the day before yesterday, with this astonishing news printed on the front page. The renovation project of the old city has once again triggered violent disputes, three people from the demolition party were seriously injured, and six people are missing, including two senior police officers, the suspects are still clinging to the ruins, and the Wuzhong police are involved in the investigation, and the safety of the hostages is now in doubt.

The place where the incident occurred was the family area of a machinery factory of the 27th Railway Bureau.

"He was fifty-one years old, alone, moving. Moving would have been a great thing for him to live in, but guess why he wouldn't move? ”

Miao Shifan's face was pale, his hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles were glowing white because of excessive force, and he didn't speak for a long time in order to suppress the emotional impulse in his heart. finally sighed and said slowly: "He is waiting for me, we once agreed that by the age of sixty, if we are still alive, no matter what kind of life we live for each other, no matter how the world criticizes, we will live together." ”

Gu Tianyou nodded, and said: "Finally, you still remember that there is a person who has been waiting for you, presumably you have also guessed that the reason why he would rather sacrifice his life to fight than move away is because he is worried that you will not find him that day, all these years you have never allowed him to approach your life for that little bit of fame, every time you get together, you go to him, if you don't go, he will keep waiting, from youth to middle age, he is about to enter old age, but now he has to confront the state apparatus he once swore to defend for this wait." ”

Gu Tianyou's tone was full of cynicism, and the more Miao Shifan listened, the more difficult it was to restrain the excitement in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "How is he now?" ”

"This Uncle Geng has committed a big crime, but fortunately, no one has his life in his hands, and I am still sure to save him." Gu Tianyou finally threw out his hole cards.

"How do you know so much?" Miao Shifan has believed most of it, but he still has questions.

"About the two of you, of course I know from Uncle Geng, he lives alone, almost never has close contact with anyone, he likes to write down everything in his book, I learned that Su Xiazhu was in contact with Haizhou Holdings, I immediately thought of you, of course I know that you will not easily agree to help, thinking of what you said to me back then, I found Uncle Geng and his diary with the mood of giving it a try, what I didn't expect was that he would encounter so much trouble."

"How can you convince me that you are capable of helping him? Just because you are the illegitimate son of Gu Yufei, who has been dead for four years? He snorted lightly, and continued: I don't have to look at it, I can imagine what kind of life you have lived in Wolongtang in the past few years. Miao Shifan's eyes lit up, and then said: "Unless you are still living by Long Ye's side now, but as far as I know, the old man should have forgotten everyone by now, and I really can't think of any way for you to let him help you out." ”

This guy may be a madman, but he's also a medical wizard who knows the world. Gu Tianyou has indeed tried to contact and visit Long Ye in recent years, but he has never been able to do so. Long Ye was confused, and his family and descendants were wary of Gu Tianyou, a young man from prison of unknown origin.

Gu Tianyou came prepared, refused to give up without convincing him, and replied: "You know that I live here for a while to be freer than ordinary people, so I often help some prisoners buy some private goods, there used to be a prisoner named Sun Xiaodong in the North District T-number, once I helped him, a year ago he was released from prison and returned to his hometown Wuzhong, now this person is one of the main leaders of the demolition team, in addition, Captain Zhao of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Wuzhong City Bureau who is in charge of this case is actually transferred from Qinzhou, I have engaged in a small business a few years ago, I also made a few friends in the official face, and it just so happened that this Zhao team had a good relationship with me. ”

"How are you going to save him?"

"So we've already negotiated the conditions"

Miao Shifan said: "You go now, if there is no death, the matter can be reversed, you can rescue the person and bring it here, if the person is already dead, there is no room for things to turn around, please arrange for me to leave the country, in addition, I don't want anyone other than you to know about this matter." ”

Gu Tianyou nodded and said: "I have a reliable friend who has some connections on the Indonesian side, and there are channels at sea, so it is not a problem to arrange to go abroad, and the final question is that he is now unreasonable, what can I do to make him believe that I am helping him." ”

"I've always regretted that I didn't strangle you to death that year." Miao Shifan's eyes were like knives staring at Tianyou, and he was still angry that the secret he had hidden in his heart for many years was discovered, and he sighed for a long time and said: "When I came in, there was a special knife in the list of personal belongings, if you take it to show him, he will believe you, paused, and finally said: You know something you shouldn't know, I hope you can keep it a secret for us." ”
