Xu Qingzhi rubbed closer, Lin Hongwen groped for the knots with his hands, and the two cooperated for a while before untying the knots. Xu Qingzhi took out a box of matches from his pocket, struck a light oil lamp, and there was some light in the warehouse. He looked around, and the door was locked, the window was sealed, and the firewood that had been lit before had been taken away.

Xu Qingzhi put his ear to the door panel, and he couldn't hear anything outside except the whistling wind.

"He wants to freeze us to death here," Lin Hongwen said, holding on to his knees and struggling to stand up. His head was still groggy, Xu Qingzhi reached out to help him, but Lin Hongwen avoided it. He leaned against the wall and looked at Xu Qingzhi a little blankly, "Qingzhi, is Ru Ting okay?" ”

Xu Qingzhi was stunned and asked, "When did you know?" ”

"Five days ago", Lin Hongwen said, "why lie to me? ”

"She begged me, let me not tell you that she is still alive", Xu Qingzhi said, "I think she is pitiful, and you do do something wrong." ”

"What is your relationship with her, and what is your relationship with me!" Lin Hongwen grabbed Xu Qingzhi's collar and asked, "You know that she is not dead but refuse to tell me, just watching you feel guilty and blame yourself every day?" ”

"Since I promised her, I will help her keep this secret", Xu Qingzhi retorted, "You don't blame me, you should blame yourself for doing these things." ”

"What am I doing these things for?" Lin Hongwen shouted, "It's not for the business house? ”

"It's also for yourself," Xu Qingyi said sharply.

Lin Hongwen shook it hard, Xu Qingzhi hit the wall directly, his back hurt, he glared at Lin Hongwen angrily, walked over and dragged him against the wall and asked, "How did the store come about, why did Shi Ying leave, what is the relationship between Sister-in-law Tian and Ru Ting, huh?" Do you dare to say that you do all this for the sake of the firm? ”

"If you still treat me as your own, these things will come to me first", Lin Hongwen distinguished, "instead of asking me after hearsay!" ”

"Will you tell the truth, I ask you?" Xu Qingzhi asked, "I'm asking you now, why did Shi Ying leave?" Tell me, tell me the truth! ”

"Because I calculated him," Lin Hongwen replied, "I already knew that Chen Xinglai was a liar, and I deliberately didn't tell him, asked him to give the money to Chen Xinglai, and then asked He Mu to intercept people." Shi Ying thought that he had lost a lot of money by harming the firm, but in fact, the money was not lost at all, I took back half of it, and the other half bribed Chen Xinglai's gang to do things for me. ”

"Shi Ying has always been diligent and diligent in helping you do things, why are you calculating him so much?"

"I don't want to work with someone who often disagrees with me", Lin Hongwen said, "What's wrong with He Mu's win, we didn't force him to gamble." Du Xinzhu was killed by me, what's wrong? When he killed so many people in the road construction team, why didn't anyone come out to administer justice? ”

"You know that he is that kind of person, you think you don't agree with him, you can say that he quits, why do you calculate him like this?" Xu Qingzhi asked, "You weren't like this when I first met you, why did you become unscrupulous in just a few years?" ”

"Unscrupulous?" Lin Hongwen broke Xu Qingzhi's hand and knocked him to the ground with all his might. Xu Qingzhi saw that he really made a move, and he was no longer polite, the two fought together, their fists and feet were eyeless, and both of them were angry and didn't take it lightly or seriously, and they both hung up after a while. Lin Hongwen pressed Xu Qingzhi and said with a sneer, "What do you think I was like at that time?" When you came back that year, I was seriously ill and recovered, do you know why I was sick? Because I just killed Du Xinzhu, I'm scared. ”

Xu Qingzhi looked at Lin Hongwen with an angry face, and unconsciously let go of his hand, Lin Hongwen took a step closer and asked, "What, scared?" ”

"I just understood Shi Ying's mood at that time", Xu Qingzhi said, "He must have felt that he had never really known you at that time." ”

"Originally, everything was fine, but you have to know so many things", Lin Hongwen pulled Xu Qingzhi's shirt and said, "You just need to make money!" Why do I have to care what I do? ”

As soon as he exerted his strength, Xu Qingzhi's cotton clothes were torn open by him, and a small silver-white flat box was revealed in the inner pocket. Lin Hongwen looked at it in a daze, it was the cigarette box he gave to Xu Qingzhi two years ago.

Xu Qingzhi pushed him away and stood up, patting the soil on his body, "I know that you have a lot of last resort, it is precisely because I know that I haven't said much in the past few years, and I haven't left like Shi Ying, but Hongwen, do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life?" ”

Lin Hongwen sat silently on the ground, Xu Qingzhi squatted down beside him and persuaded, "People will change, things will change, nothing is set in stone." The law and discipline will become stricter and stricter, and people will become more and more enlightened, and you can't live with your set until death. ”

Lin Hongwen still didn't say anything, he could listen to Xu Qingzhi's words, but he couldn't think of any way. The strength of the tranquilizing potion has not completely passed yet, he only feels muddy, and the surroundings seem to be a little colder, he curled himself into a ball and leaned against the wall and muttered, "Don't worry, He Mu will find us." ”

Xu Qingzhi probed his forehead, and sure enough, it was hot again, Lin Hongwen should have been caught here after coming out of the medical hall that day. There is no good reason for the illness in the first place, and this toss is no better. Xu Qingzhi sighed, took off his cotton clothes and put them on him, and walked around the warehouse quickly. Fortunately, thirty-nine days have passed a long time ago, otherwise I am afraid that I would have frozen to death if I stayed here for an hour.

131.

Just after midnight, He Mu led people straight to the riverside warehouse, and the two people patrolling outside were dragged away before they could make a sound. The door of the warehouse was locked from the inside, and He Mu called a few able-bodied people to knock the door open together. There were two oil lamps lit in the warehouse, and Shen Lie sat alone looking at him with a smile.

He Mu rushed over with an arrow and pointed a gun against Shen Lie's head, "What about them?" ”

"Who?" Shen Lie asked.

"Don't play dumb!" He Mu shouted.

"Oh, you mean Lin Hongwen?" Shen Lie said unhurriedly, "You haven't found him yet, have you?" But I don't know. ”

He Mu gave Shen Lie a rifle butt, which smashed Shen Lie's head and bleed, "Qingzhi usually takes you a lot, you don't know if you don't know the Entu retribution, you still have to hurt him, how much money did He Gui give you, you worked so hard for him?" ”

Shen Lie covered his forehead and said, "I don't know." ”

"You've thought about it," said Homu, "if you knew where they were, I wouldn't bother with you, and if you didn't know where they were, then you'd be of no use now." ”

Shen Lie looked at him calmly, "Don't say I don't know, even if I do, if I do, I will only die faster if I say it." ”

He Mu loaded the bullet and aimed the gun at Shen Lie, "Whether you say it or not, in a while all the warehouses of your He family will be opened, how long do you think you can drag it out?" ”

Shen Lie smiled and said, "Then you can open it all and see if there is one." ”

He Mu's heart sank, it was just a guess that people would hide in the He family's warehouse, but what if He Gui also expected him to think so?

When the two were at a stalemate, Chen Fang suddenly broke in and muttered a few words in He Mu's ear, He Mu didn't say a word, didn't look at Shen Lie, turned around and left, and asked when he went out, "How many people did he bring?" ”

"It's just four or five," Chen Fang said, "The He family has been dismissed a lot before, and now there are only a few left." ”

"Are you sure you went to the Yao family's warehouse?" He Mu asked again.

"Sure", Chen Fang said, "At that time, the two of us were staring there, I was afraid that it would be too late for them to wait until they came to find you, and the direction should be the Yao family's warehouse at the mouth of the Ma family's ship, so I asked Yang Yun to make a mark all the way, and I will come to you first." ”

"It's good to have you," He Mu said, "otherwise it would have been bad." ”

"It's easy for him to hide two people, but it's difficult for us to find them," Chen Fang said, "Don't worry about the owner, no matter what Yang Yun says, he can drag it out for a while." ”

He Mu got into the carriage anxiously, and the group drove to the mouth of the Ma family's boat, and when they arrived, Yang Yun was pulling He Gui and pretending to speak Japanese. He Gui's impatient face made people drag Yang Yun away, and when he raised his eyes and saw He Mu and the others coming, he immediately understood that Yang Yun was delaying time.

He Mu didn't talk nonsense with him, and the two groups of people moved directly. He Mu arranged for two people to open the door of the warehouse, and he went straight to He Gui with a gun. As soon as He Gui saw that he was holding a gun, he ran away, and He Mu chased after him, forcing He Gui to the river.

The people near the warehouse were in a mess, and Lin Hongwen was taken out in a daze, when he suddenly heard a gunshot. Everyone subconsciously stopped, Lin Hongwen was shocked by the sound of gunshots, he looked at the riverside, but he couldn't see He Mu. Lin Hongwen looked down at the cotton clothes he was wearing, and Chen Fang poked his head out of the carriage and asked him and Xu Qing to get on the car. Lin Hongwen just wanted to ask who she was, but Chen Fang reached out and dragged her, and Xu Qingzhi followed suit. Chen Fang instructed the coachman to go back to Fu's shop, then turned his head and said to Lin Hongwen, "The owner has explained, if you find the little boss, you can go back quickly, don't worry about them." ”

Lin Hongwen nodded, he glanced at Xu Qingzhi who was sitting opposite, took off the outer layer of cotton clothes and returned it to him, Xu Qingzhi took it and put it on, the two didn't say anything all the way, Chen Fang couldn't speak, so he could only watch them quietly.
