Chapter 228: The Dead
After hanging up the phone, He Lao Liu lit his pipe with a match and inhaled it gently, his eyes jumping with Sen Ran's killing intent and excitement that could not be concealed.
Since the Qing Gang was driven out of the East China Sea, and Huangfu Hongzhu cleaned up the traitors in the Red Bamboo Gang, He Lao Liu had this idea - after that incident, he became the veritable number two person of the Red Bamboo Gang, and he echoed in the neutral faction!
The only thing worth mentioning is that at that time, although he had a very high prestige among the neutrals, he did not dare to guarantee that those people in the neutral faction would rebel with him and overthrow Huangfu Hongzhu.
After all, for those neutral people, interests represent everything, and the benefits he can bring to those people are not comparable to Huangfu Hongzhu!
In such a situation, He Lao Liu could only suppress his ambition and choose to forbear while looking for opportunities.
And the incident when Chen Fan forced him to cut off his own son's two arms was like a catalyst for the seed of rebellion in his heart to sprout and grow.
On that day, he swore to his lover and son that he would make Chen Fan pay!
For He Lao Liu, that day was the day when he really put aside all his burdens and made up his mind.
Having made up his mind, he did not act recklessly, but began to carefully wait for the opportunity.
Later, he waited for the opportunity - in order to help Chen Fan, Huangfu Hongzhu resolutely gave up his cooperation with the Yamaguchi-gumi, and turned against him, setting up a strong enemy for the Hongzhu Gang, and the Hongzhu Gang's smuggling business suffered heavy losses.
Taking advantage of the negative impact of this incident, He Lao Liu privately found those neutral bigwigs, and used bribery, co-optation, temptation and other means to pull those bigwigs into a boat, and secretly contacted the bigwigs who originally supported Huangfu Hongzhu.
At that time, those bigwigs were already very dissatisfied with Huangfu Hongzhu in their hearts, and He Laoliu's timing was just right, although those bigwigs who originally supported Huangfu Hongzhu did not clearly express their support for He Laoliu, but they did not betray He Laoliu, but took a wait-and-see attitude, saying that it was ugly to say that it was a grass on the wall.
For He Lao Liu, that would be enough!
At that time, he was basically ready for everything, only owed the east wind, as long as he could find another excuse to take advantage of the reason, he could wave the flag and take the opportunity to subvert Huangfu Hongzhu.
It's just that...... On the contrary, the investment of the Nar group in the mainland made his carefully prepared plan to usurp power in vain - those supporters of Huangfu Hongzhu, who had been wavering, chose to support Huangfu Hongzhu again after seeing that their own interests appreciated because of Huangfu Hongzhu; The members of the neutral faction were also shaken by the fact that Huangfu Hongzhu could bring them greater benefits than before.
This heavy blow did not shake He Laoliu's determination to give up usurping power and revenge on Chen Fan, but only ...... Instead of following the steady, lukewarm frog-like plan he had laid out in advance, he went to the other extremeβon the one hand, colluding with outsiders to use the memorial to carry out assassinations, and on the other hand, coercing and inducing those originally wavering centrist members to firmly stand on his side.
"The surname is Chen, if you dare to ask for my son's arm, I will dare to ask for your life!"
"Even if you are from the Chen family in the north, this matter has nothing to do with Lao Tzu and Lao Liu!"
The scene of his son being cut off that day flashed in his mind, He Lao Liu's eyes were red, and the killing intent in his eyes was no longer the slightest hidden!
β¦β¦ Chu Wentian was not buried in a public cemetery, but on the mountainside of Yunshan Mountain.
At that time, in order to bury Chu Wentian, Tianwen Group spent a huge amount of money to build a cemetery on the mountainside of Yunshan Mountain, which covered a large area, not to mention, only Chu Wentian was buried in the entire cemetery, which can be described as extremely luxurious.
The cemetery is built on a mountain, with its strange scenery and scenery, and it was selected by a famous feng shui master in the south.
Hundreds of cars got off the highway at the place where the highway meets the Yunshan Highway, and then drove towards Yunshan in a mighty way.
For Chen Fan, this is not the first time he has come to Yunshan, when he was racing with the European new car King Green, it was on Yunshan Highway.
"Miss Huangfu, is Mr. Chu buried in Yunshan?" For some reason, when the convoy was driving on the Yunshan Highway, Chen Fan had a bad intuition in his heart, and the keen sense of smell he had cultivated over the years made him smell the smell of danger.
Like Chu Ge, Huangfu Hongzhu has also been in an extremely bad mood in the past two days, and the sadness in the depths of her eyes cannot be erased at all, but in front of everyone, she can hide it well.
Originally, she didn't know what she was recalling, but she was stunned to hear Chen Fan's question, and nodded subconsciously.
After nodding, she suddenly woke up, as if she knew that Chen Fan had a purpose in asking this way, so she asked, "What's wrong?" β
"He Laoliu is known as the big boss of China's underground drag racing, and this Yunshan underground drag racing field is his industry, so he should know better than any of us about Yunshan." Chen Fan frowned and said, "I'm afraid that he will take advantage of this opportunity to do something." β
"I've thought about this beforehand." Huangfu Hongzhu said thoughtfully: "It shouldn't be possible." β
Chen Fan asked curiously, "Why?" β
"First, since you reminded me that He Lao Liu has a rebellious heart, I have privately sent people to monitor his every move, and I have not found that he has any contact with other forces, which can rule out the possibility of him colluding with outside forces. Second, in this memorial service, all his backbone subordinates participated, and like us, they did not wear weapons, so they couldn't plot against us! Third, ask the heavenly connections Aurora, although he was born in the underworld, but he has done a lot of good deeds, and he can be regarded as a big entrepreneur on the surface, the people who came to pay tribute to him this time, in addition to the underworld forces, there are also people from the military, government and business, even if He Lao Liu is bold, he does not dare to do anything in front of those people, he can't afford to offend those people! Huangfu Hongzhu explained: "In the end, I sent all the remaining members of the Dark Hall out and conducted a close inspection of the vicinity, if there was any danger, it should have been discovered long ago." β
Listening to Huangfu Hongzhu's explanation, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Because, he has always trusted his instincts.
In the past few years, many times, he has been able to escape, relying entirely on his keen sense of crisis.
β¦β¦ Yunshan is composed of dozens of mountains, those mountains are of different heights, some mountains are thousands of meters high, some are only hundreds of meters high, and Chu Wentian's cemetery is on the top of a central mountain.
There is a waterfall in that mountain, and the top of the mountain is not as sharp as a normal mountain, on the contrary, the top of that mountain is flat and covers a large area.
The top of the hill was bought by the Tianwen Group in its entirety, bulldozed and built into a square, there are dozens of marble carved pillars on the square, the ground is also paved with marble, the lawn is built very neatly, not to mention, some special flowers are still blooming, a picture of birds singing and flowers.
The convoy stopped in the square, and in addition to the henchmen of each big man, the other members of the Red Bamboo Gang stood in two rows, separated by three meters, as a greeting.
After Huangfu Hongzhu got out of the car, he stood at the front with Chu Ge, greeting the bigwigs from all walks of life who came to pay tribute to Chu Wentian.
While Huangfu Hongzhu was doing everything, Chen Fan didn't get out of the car, after all, he was an outsider in a sense. As for coming today, it was entirely because he was worried that Chu Ge would not be able to control his emotions and do something that would affect the memorial.
Half an hour later, when the greetings ended, Huangfu Hongzhu took Chu Ge and walked towards the cemetery at the end of the square.
For a while, the originally empty square was overcrowded, and the members of the Red Bamboo Gang who stood in two rows were uniformly wearing black suits, wearing white flowers, black sunglasses on the bridge of their noses, with solemn expressions, and their bodies stood straight, like a gun.
Before the memorial begins, the atmosphere becomes extremely solemn, and can even be described as depressing.
In this atmosphere, whether it was the underworld bigwigs who came to pay tribute to Chu Wentian, or the bigwigs in the military, political and business circles, they did not talk in a low voice, but silently followed behind Huangfu Hongzhu, Chu Ge, Chen Fan, and Duyidao.
Soon, a group of people came to the cemetery.
The cemetery has long been set up around the cemetery, and various memorial items are placed in front of the tombstones.
The staff who had been waiting for a long time saw everyone coming, and hurriedly greeted and talked with Huangfu Hongzhu, and after receiving Huangfu Hongzhu's instructions, one of the staff members announced the memorial regulations, requiring that after the memorial begins, no noise, chasing, and fighting.
Although these people who came today should not have done these things, they are just part of the memorial process, and the staff naturally dare not ignore them.
After the memorial regulations were announced, a staff member walked up to Huangfu Hongzhu and said, "Miss Huangfu, you can start." β
Huangfu Hongzhu nodded lightly, then patted Chu Ge's shoulder and said, "Xiao Ge, go and kowtow to your father." β
Chu Ge's eyes were red, and the whole person seemed to be frozen in place as if someone had applied the immobilization technique, and his body was stiffly staring at the tombstone in front of him, motionless.
Seeing this scene, Chen Fan knew that Chu Ge was excited, so he pressed Chu Ge's shoulders with both hands, stared at Chu Ge's red eyes, and said word by word: "Xiao Ge, as a man, there are some things you have to face. Go ahead, go and kowtow to your dad, so many people are watching, don't lose your dad's face in front of outsiders! β
"Hmm!"
Chu Ge nodded tearfully, then walked straight forward, "poof", and smashed his knees directly on the ground!
"Dad, Xiao Ge has come to see you!" Ignoring the sharp pain coming from his knees, Chu Ge took a deep look at Chu Wentian's tombstone and knocked heavily!
"Bang!"
After a muffled sound, Chu Ge's forehead suddenly became a big bag.
Bang!
Bang!
After three consecutive rings, blood oozed from Chugo's forehead, mixed with tears, and stained his face, and the cold wind blew, and some even solidified on his face.
When the kowtow ended, Chugo did not get up immediately, but knelt on the ground and wept silently.
Seeing this, Chen Fan directly stepped forward to take the incense in the hands of the staff and handed it to Chu Ge.
Seeing Chen Fan handing over the incense, Chu Ge stopped crying, but instead of wiping the tears and blood on his face, he got up and put incense on his face.
After doing all this, Chu Ge followed Chen Fan silently back to the front of the crowd.
For a while, almost everyone turned their eyes to Chen Fan, and most of them were full of doubts.
Among these people, a large number of people have not seen Chen Fan, they wonder who Chen Fan is, and those who have seen Chen Fan are puzzled about the relationship between Chen Fan and the Hongzhu Gang - after all, everything just now should be done by Huangfu Hongzhu, not Chen Fan!
There is only one exception to this rule.
The owner of the gaze is He Lao Liu.
He looked at Chen Fan without the slightest doubt, only Sen Ran's killing intent.
It seems that in his eyes, Chen Fan has become a dead man!
