Chapter 1 Old Qian
In 2015, the winter solstice is approaching, and the night is approaching.
The lights are brilliant, the night is bright, and Dinger, who is dressed in a navy blue casual suit, looks like a successful person. He stood on the eighty-eighth floor of the prosperous family and looked down.
Jianghai City, the capital of Guangbei, has a panoramic view of the lights. It is the land under his feet that has created many fairy tales and wealth legends, and the world knows that others are rich and noble in front of others, and who sees others suffering behind them?
The world is hot and cold, and the unpredictable is in the hearts of the people. In this bustling city that the world yearns for, how many inexplicable and invisible bloody mouths are hidden?
Countless stories of deceit and deceit are staged here, and then they end here, and then, quietly disappear in the night sky of history, and all that remains is this prosperous and prosperous era that has been embellished.
Just now, it was still a starry sky, and suddenly dark clouds pressed down, and a rare thick lightning rumbled and exploded, and under the roar of the wind, the black cloud seemed to be pressing on my heart. The torrential rain poured down, and the already dull mood became more and more melancholy with the heavy rain.
Dinger looked at the raindrops lapping on the floor-to-ceiling window for a few moments before retracting his gaze.
Jianghai City has developed rapidly in recent years and is the newly rising commercial capital of China. Located at the southwest end of Jianghai City, the skyscraper named Dingsheng Shijia was completed two years ago and is 98 stories high with a total height of 387 meters.
As a landmark building complex in Jianghai City, it covers an area of about 200,000 square meters, and dozens of Fortune 500 companies have settled in.
Tonight, he and his junior brother came to the client's duplex luxury apartment. It happened that the client had something to go out for a while, and after the servant opened the door, he asked the two to wait in the study.
Before coming, Dinger had already announced that he would be a partner, and after this trip, he would officially wash his hands of gold. He felt that he was not suitable for this industry, according to industry insiders: "Although Gezi is a veteran, he still can't get through that hurdle." ”
The study is plain and minimalist, and it stands out of place compared to the luxury of the entire apartment. There are not many ancient books, solitary books, and fragments on the shelves, and the rest of the places are empty.
The three-meter-eight-long Huanghuali board is placed on the right against the wall, and there is a set of purple sand pots that cannot be seen in the center of the platform, and a jade toad that has been raised for an unknown amount of time and has a black body lies next to the purple sand pot, which is lifelike.
As far as the eye can see, the study room of more than 100 square meters is atmospheric and transparent, but it does not appear empty.
The golden incense burner in the corner exudes the sandalwood incense of Qi Nan, which makes people smell it refreshed. Ding Ge took a deep breath and seemed to be quite enjoyable, not far behind him, the handsome man with two beards was Ye Tianliang, the junior brother who had been his partner for more than ten years.
Ye Tianliang held two glasses of Bordeaux red wine in his hand, walked over, handed a glass to Dingue, and said, "Senior brother, how do you feel about going your separate ways after tonight?" ”
Dinger took the wine glass, took a sip, and shook his head gently: "I can't say what it feels like, for more than ten years, I remember that when I first met, it was true." After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Actually, I am quite reluctant to bear you, especially you and Luo Luo. …… However, this line of work is really not for me. ”
"Are you really going to retreat? Want to stop thinking about it? Ye Tianliang paused for a moment and continued: "...... Also, our line of work basically didn't end well, and people said that there would be retribution. …… Hey, I know you've always donated money to poor mountainous areas, but is that the same thing? ”
"I don't know, but I pray for peace of mind." Dinger didn't look back, his eyes were empty, and it seemed that all he could see was the rainy night outside the window.
"I hope so." Ye Tianliang responded in a low voice, looking at his senior brother's straight back, watching him raise his head and drink the red wine in his glass, and an intriguing flash flashed in his eyes.
"The most feared thing in our profession is soft-heartedness, and my senior brother has good skills. But ......" Ye Tianliang patted his heart with his right hand: "It's a mistake here, senior brother!" ”
"Yes, Lao Qian, I am most afraid of having a heart, and if I have a heart, there will be flaws! But if you think about it, many of the people we have deceived are innocent, and we ......"
“…… And voila, here we go again. Ye Tianliang interrupted Dingge's compassion and said, "At the beginning, Master said that your achievements will be the highest among all senior brothers. Who would have thought that you would be the first to say that you would step down. ”
Ye Tianliang took a step forward and stood side by side with Dingge: "...... Well, don't think about it so much, it's all over tonight. As in the past, Ye Tianliang patted Dinger on the shoulder affectionately, at this time, silence is better than sound, everything is silent.
About halfway through, Dinger smiled brightly and said with a pun: "Maybe, maybe I can really be relieved after tonight!" ”
After saying this, the room fell silent again, as if both of them were busy admiring the rare rain scene outside, and with the crackling raindrops, Dinger's thoughts gradually drifted away-
Looking back on my childhood, I recall many things, my father, myself, my youthful years, and so on.
At that time, his father was paralyzed due to a bank robbery, and after graduating from high school, he met a thousand doors by chance. I think if it wasn't for the sudden change in my family, I'm afraid that now I am already a rich second generation. It was the bank robbery when he was seventeen years old, and the second half of his life took a turn for the worse.
Once you enter a thousand doors as deep as the sea, from then on conscience becomes a passerby, if you can choose from a new one, you will never go down this road again, the kind of life with a mask is really tireless.
……
Dinger is a professional veteran, ordinary people are also called liars, and a clever veteran can easily see through other people's minds from emotions, which is much better than some masters of psychology.
can not only peek through the opponent, but also hide feelings, and be more ruthless, in order to be regarded as the top Qian, they are real actors, as long as the plot requires, any role can be competent, they deserve the Oscar for Best Actor.
Dinger is a clever old man, but he is not a top old man, as a person with a little conscience, he is destined to be difficult to become the top of the industry in this life.
Although he is not a top Qian, he is not well-known in this industry, he has the title of Xiao Zhuge and does not dare to say that he is perfect, but he is a leader among the younger generation.
Today's thousands of people are different from ancient times, has been linked to local business, today's society, the economy is in charge, the monks of Shaolin Temple are on the big run, this can no longer be extravagant to ask for thousands of people to be refined.
Lao Qian's profession is very well paid, and most of the people who can invite them are celebrities and families from all walks of life.
For example, the client surnamed Cen for this transaction is an invisible rich man in Jianghai City, who is said to be the third generation of red, whose real estate and properties are all over the world, and his net worth is at least 3 billion.
This time the remuneration is not much, eight people, each of whom received 800,000 yuan, this time the bureau is to deceive a wealthy Hong Kong businessman who collects antiques, the stingy man who was famous for being a fat man by design, and they took away antiques worth more than 20 million.
Perhaps because Dinger retains a trace of conscience in his heart, when he meets some poor people, he still chooses to be merciful. For example, the last time, the target was the surviving person of her husband who had just died, and he chose to refuse this single sale.
It's okay once or twice, but in the long run, there will be discordant voices in the team. Dinger knows that cutting off people's financial routes is like killing parents, and there must be conflicts where there are interests, and for so many years, there have been small internal disputes, which is one of the reasons why he insisted on leaving.
Frankly speaking, many people think that Lao Qian is a liar, and that's right, it's about the same, but there is a clear difference between Lao Qian and a liar.
Compared with the street scammers who fight petty, Lao Qian is more systematic, more professional, and more targeted, and the efforts made in the early stage are also more sufficient.
Some layouts take a long time, for example, it takes more than two months to complete this order, which is relatively short this time, and some bureaus even take one to two years of effort, but the longer the corresponding time, the higher the reward.
Ding Ge is in charge of the general in the thousand gates, and there are eight generals in the thousand gates, and the general is the controller who sets up, lays out, and ends the game with a thousand techniques, and is also the person who coordinates the overall situation.
When people talk about a thousand tricks, they don't think of deception or gambling. In fact, Qianshu is really not a deception or gambling. It is correct to say that deception and gambling are just one of the skills in a thousand arts.
According to legend, the ancient thousand gates were created by the gossip patriarch Fu Xi, who observed the misery of the people in the world, and set up a pious door, and hoped to pass on his thoughts and cast the faith of the people, but Fu Xi ignored the unpredictable nature of the human heart.
Qianshu was originally intended to save the world, but it was used by the world as a means of deceit, so the pious door gradually evolved into a thousand doors.
Thousands of years of inheritance, thousands of skills in the years continue to sharpen, many ill-intentioned thousands of deceitful hearts, but day after day unabated.
The inheritance of this sect of Huaxia Qianmen continues to this day, and the more time is pushed back, the more branches there are, and in the thirties of the last century, there are hundreds of schools of thought.
There are many people in history who came from mysterious backgrounds and rose like meteors. For example, Su Qin and Zhang Yi are from the Guiguzi Sect, Zhang Liang studied under Huangshi Gong, and the famous Zhuge Kong Master is Mr. Shuijing, perhaps many people don't know that the above people are all from the mysterious Thousand Gates.
There are many thousands of people who walk in the world, those who are famous, nameless and surnameless, they will all be annihilated in the long river of history, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the inheritance of thousands of techniques and thousands of skills.
For thousands of years, there is no way to verify the true and false legends, but Qianmen really exists in the world and has never been left behind.
Dingge's sect belongs to the branch of the Qianmennan faction, and it is said that he inherited the Guiguzi lineage, and by Dingge's generation, he had gone to the seventy-ninth generation.
Anything that is not true belongs to the category of a thousand arts, and Dinger only learns a few furs from them, but these furs are enough for him to use for life.
……
The rain outside the window gradually stopped, his thoughts drifted away and pulled back, he stared out of the window, and slowly spoke: "Master knows? ”
"I don't know." Ye Tianliang stared at him intently and said, "You knew it was poisonous, but you still drank it." ”
Dinger replied to the question: "Senior brothers know it." ”
"Is there a difference?"
"No ......"
The two were silent for about half a minute, and Ye Tianliang sighed: "Actually, you know that if you join our industry, it is almost impossible to leave alive. ”
"I know, but I want to try." Dinger squeezed his glass lightly, looking calm.
"If you try, you can't go back."
"So what are you going to do with me? Senior Brother Tianliang. The corners of Dinger's mouth curled upward. Could it be that a glass of poisoned wine wants to send me away? ”
Ding Ge stared at Ye Tianliang, slowly raised the empty cup to his mouth, the Adam's apple surged slightly, and in a moment, a small red column of water in his mouth spit out.
This hand was played very beautifully, and Ye Tianliang was stunned: "...... You, when did you learn! Why didn't Master teach us? ”
Dinger was silent, and at this time, silence may be the best answer.
Ye Tianliang snapped and threw the cup in his hand to the ground. Clapping softly, he said aloud, "...... High, really high, worthy of Xiao Zhuge ,...... However, the senior brother seems to be happy a little early. ”
Ye Tianliang raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "Senior Brother Ding, you are running out of time, well, there are still five minutes, oh no, only four minutes and thirty-seven ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the red wine in Dinger's hand spilled out head-on. Ye Tianliang was good at it, and he dodged sideways.
"That's why you want me to die?" Dinger was slightly hoarse, and his extremely fast voice burst out, and his eyes were full of coldness.
The two of them each tore off their camouflage masks, and Ye Tianliang's face also showed a yin owl, and he said viciously: "Dingge, you must die tonight." ”
Dinger didn't speak, his eyes glancing at the incense burner in the corner, he knew that in addition to poisoned wine and incense, they had a back hand.
"Huh", like magic, Dingge's hands suddenly had two silver-gray Berettas, and the two pistols were like two life chasers, so that Ye Tianliang didn't dare to move an inch.
Dinger raised his gun and retreated towards the window, one gun always pointed at his junior brother, and the other pulled the trigger with the tempered glass.
"Bang bang bang bang......" several shots rang out in succession. Gunshots rang out, and glass shattered. The door to the study was pushed open as the guns rang out, and several large men with guns rushed in, their muzzles pointed at Dinger.
Outside the window, the night is like water, and the sky is surging with wind and clouds. The air can be intoxicating after the rain, and the night sky under the canopy is extremely beautiful.
At present, no one has the intention to appreciate the beautiful scenery, and the moment several big men enter the study, Dinger pulls the trigger again, and at the same time jumps out of the window.
"Bang bang, bang bang......" jumped out, and the gunfire in the study suddenly rang out. It all happened extremely quickly, almost instantaneously. After the gunshot, two big men fell in the study, and Dinger had already crashed away from the window at high speed.
In the air, Dinger's face down, his whole body flew towards the ground like a sharp arrow, his hair was blown up, the wind in his ears was blowing, and under gravity, he fell quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he was in the middle of the skyscraper.
Seeing that he was getting closer to the ground, Dinger slapped his chest and "clicked" a small parachute out of his back. The speed of the fall suddenly slowed down, but it was not yet able to completely offset the huge momentum of the fall.
Blood kept pouring out, he was shot in the shoulder, and his head began to dizzy, and he knew that the poisonous effect of burning incense was about to kick in. When I held my breath just now, I still inhaled a lot of incense during the ventilation process.
Shaking his head, trying to stay awake, in this vacancy, he fell more than ten floors, and he saw that he had reached the predetermined floor.
He raised his right hand, and with a "click" sound, a blue crossbow bolt popped out of his sleeve, the front end of the crossbow bolt was firmly nailed to the outer wall of the skyscraper, and the back end of the crossbow arrow was wrapped around a black filament that was tightly connected to his arm.
Just as Dinger was about to make the next move, a strange dark cloud suddenly drifted in the already clear night sky.
"Boom ......" shook the sky, and a huge cross lightning bolt slashed directly at Dinger hanging in mid-air, he didn't have time to shout, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.
The next day, Jianghai morning news. The beautiful anchor is broadcasting in Mandarin: "Special news insertion." At about 10:20 last night, a huge thunderbolt appeared over the city, and after the lightning, the city fell into a power outage, and the power returned to normal ten minutes later. According to last night's abnormal weather phenomenon, Mr. Pu Shusen, a special expert of the Provincial Meteorological Bureau, predicted. In the coming week, Rainbow, the largest typhoon in recent years, may make landfall in the coastal areas of our province, so please be prepared. ”
