Episode 3 [Wedge]
It's a quaint bedroom where moonlight pours in through wooden shutters, casting light and shadow on a mountain of handmade Indian silk carpets woven with countless heads of gods and Buddhas. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ The info oval waterbed sleeps almost 5 people side by side, but it only takes up a small part of the bedroom. The bedside lamp on the mahogany lampstand emits a faint yellow light, and the light shines on the pure gold chassis under the lampstand, refracting a gorgeous halo. On the bedside table, an old-fashioned telephone with a diamond-encrusted dial and sterling silver handle suddenly vibrated and rang with a crisp ringtone.
The man on the bed was awakened by the ringing of the telephone, and lazily turned over, and the silk was slid away, revealing a head of golden curls and half a smooth shoulder.
The blonde woman reached out and brushed her hair, leaned over and grabbed the phone on the bedside table: "Hello! "The Chinese pronunciation is a bit jerky.
Then she turned to the side and whispered, "Honey, looking for you." β
An arm covered in peony tattoos reached out from the other side of the silk quilt, took the phone from the blonde woman's hand, and retracted again.
"Say!" The voice sounded like an urn through the quilt, revealing the impatience of being disturbed by a good dream.
"It's you again!" The silk was suddenly lifted, and a naked man sat up from the bed, he looked to be in his 30s, with curly chestnut short hair, a high nose bridge and a well-defined face that looked like a European, but the distance between his black pupils and eyebrows looked like an Asian again. This person is the largest community in H City - the boss of the Sanhe Society, Longwu, in today's several elders have retired, he is the leader of H City, to get the wind, to get the rain.
But recently, Longwu's life has obviously not been very good. Because the police officers of H City, who used to just sit in the office and read newspapers and other salaries, suddenly got down to business recently, they actually joined forces to launch an offensive against the ** of the entire H City, sweeping hundreds of large halls. Just yesterday, the CEO of Wanhua Group was arrested, and in a year, this is the 15th powerful association to be wiped out by the police. Why did those policemen who were greedy for life and afraid of death suddenly dare to clash head-on with the ** of the entire H City? Recently, this problem has plagued Longwu, so that he can't eat well and can't sleep.
At this time, Long Wu held the phone tightly in his hand, staring straight ahead with his eyes, and his expression was excited, because the person on the phone said a sentence: "Now there are police around Pier 12!" β
As soon as Longwu heard about Pier 12, he secretly said that it was over, because, just 4 hours later, his batch of goods would enter the port from Pier 12, which was a life-related gamble that he did with the entire **. In the past year, due to the police pressing too tightly, the purchase channels on the road have been almost paralyzed, and there are no drugs with the most profits, and almost all the associations on the road have been in financial deficits. Not being able to feed the younger brother is the most humiliating thing for these bigwigs. So Longwu United still has the ability of the community, used all the funds in their hands to do this gambling, they spent up to two months to plan, with the most confidential means, the most secure channel to get this batch of goods, as long as this batch of goods arrived, then the next income can help these associations support at least two years, if this miss, then the entire H city will face the danger of collapse. Now, there are still 4 hours, and seeing that this gamble is about to succeed, the words on the phone are like a bucket of ice water, which pours Longwu cold.
"What's wrong?" At this time, the blonde woman raised her head and wrapped her arms around Takatsu's body.
Long Wu grabbed the woman's arm, threw it aside roughly, lifted the quilt and put it all over the woman's head, then got up and walked to the window.
"Who the hell are you?" Long Wu suppressed the anger in his heart, "What do you want?" There was a bit of deflation in his tone. Because every time there is an accident on the road, he always receives a call from this person, as if this person knows everything, the actions of the ** club, and the arrangements of the police. But Longwu couldn't do anything, and he couldn't find this person with all his strength, so they were helpless. Longwu has a feeling that after all these things, there is a certain force operating in secret, and this force is so big that it can be the enemy of the entire H City.
"Don't worry, wait for Boss Long to deal with the matter of the dock, let's make an appointment to talk about it." Then there was a soft sound on the phone, and he had hung up.
"Hey! Feed! Longwu yelled into the microphone, but only an irritating "beep" sound came from the earpiece.
"Uhhh
The dull sound of a whistle broke the silence of the dock.
It was a large freighter, and in the morning light, the freighter slowly sailed into the dock with a layer of orange-red glow, as if carrying a gift from heaven.
The docks were lined with crates, all kinds of packaging, and a pair of thief eyes poked out from behind a huge pile of iron boxes painted red paint, watched with a telescope for a while, and then quickly shrank back.
Behind the tin box, two young men in black jackets, one tall and one short, leaned against the box, looking a little panicked.
"5 police cars, there may be one behind, Andy, do you think it can be done this time?" The short young man asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I heard that Boss Long personally went out this time, and all the people and horses on the road were dispatched, and there were not as many people as us, and they didn't dare to mess around." The tall young man replied.
The short man was a little determined, and looked again. I saw that on the dock loading and unloading platform, one by one the containers were sent to the truck by crane.
At this time, seven or eight speedboats suddenly came to the coast, and someone on the speedboat shouted at the pier with a megaphone: "We are the anti-narcotics team of the customs, stop unloading and accept inspection!" β
The two young men in jackets were shocked in their hearts, and at the same time the short young man's mobile phone was vibrate, he hurriedly picked it up and looked at it, his expression was solemn, and he turned his head to the tall man and said, "Pick up the goods!" β
The two of them sped towards the delivery truck.
In the crackling footsteps, I saw dozens of people rushing out from behind the containers, and there were inspections at the dock when they got off the ship and entered the yard, in order to forcibly transfer the goods before the customs inspection, it turned out that so many people were ambushed here early.
A group of people pulled out their guns and killed the officers on duty at the dock, rushed to the cargo box, cut the padlock with huge wire cutters, opened the door and got in, and after a dense engine sound, I saw dozens of motorcycles speeding out of the cargo box. It turned out that the fuel tanks of these motorcycles were specially made, half filled with oil and half filled with drugs.
Dozens of motorcycles swarmed out and sped out of the docks. At this time, the sirens sounded on the road outside the pier, and countless police cars lined up in a long line galloping...... Almost all the police in H City were dispatched. In a short time, the police car surrounded the entire dock.
As soon as the motorcycle team tried to rush out of the dock, the policemen opened fire without hesitation, without warning. After dropping a few bodies, the cyclists had to take shelter in the dock's warehouse for the time being.
"Listen, people in the docks, you have been surrounded, give up resistance." A loud voice was heard through the loudspeakers throughout the docks.
There is an anti-narcotics team at sea, there are police on the shore, and the hearts of people on motorcycles are cold.
At this time, the outside of the wharf became lively again, only to see several times the number of police cars of all kinds of vehicles swarming, surrounding the wharf three layers inside and three layers outside, those policemen who had been pointing their guns at the wharf, seeing this situation, all turned around and pointed their guns at the peripheral vehicles. For a while, only the sound of sirens remained inside and outside the dock, and no one dared to pant loudly.
The door of a Lexus luxury SUV opened, and Longwu, who was wearing a trench coat, stepped out of the door, and two tall bodyguards came out at the same time. Long Wu gently raised his hand and waved back, the two bodyguards stopped, and then he walked straight to a police command car, stopped at a distance of 50m from the police car, and ignored the barrel of the policeman's gun.
"Ma Duzhong, come out and speak!" Longwu said loudly.
The door of the police command car opened, and a policeman in his 40s with a fair face stepped out of the door, he straightened his clothes and hat, and said, "Boss Long...... Long time no see. β
"Long time no see?" Long Wu sneered, "I've been seeing you on TV every day lately, and you've been out of the limelight lately, Officer Ma." β
"Where, where." Officer Ma's eyes were a little evasive.
"What do you want?" Long Wu suddenly shouted, and the bodies of several policemen opposite him trembled obviously. "Want to wipe us out? Don't forget! More than half of the sky in H City was held up by me and my brothers! β
"Boss Long...... "Ahem," Officer Ma's voice was a little small, barely audible under the cover of the siren, "Turn that thing off!" He suddenly raised his voice and shouted at the radio on his shoulder, and in a few moments, all the sirens stopped. Then he looked left and right, ripped off the radio on his shoulder, and said to Long Wu: "Boss Long, let's take a step to talk." β
On the side of the dock, Long Wu's face was pale, and he knocked down the cigarette handed over by Officer Ma: "If you have something to say, you must give me an explanation today." β
Officer Ma lit his cigarette and took a puff: "Boss Long, alasβI'm still used to calling you by your original nameβEric, there are some things that we all understand, and many times, we can't help ourselves. "As he spoke, he looked into the distance, and the sun peeked out from the sea, covering the sea with a layer of gold." As a Harvard MBA, you returned to China with confidence and wanted to open your own company, but in the end you became the boss; And I, I have seen with my own eyes the changes you have brought to the H market since you came to power, and I have also seen with my own eyes the disasters I have caused in the past year - the stock market crashed and the unemployment rate rose by 40%...... But I had to do it because I had the command at my disposal. β
"Don't!" Longwu said loudly: "Bullshit order! This mess can't be cleaned up even by you! β
"We can't clean it up, but someone can." Officer Ma said.
"Who?" Long Wu's heart was shocked, and sure enough, there was someone behind the scenes.
Officer Ma spread his palms: "Five hundred billion!" I heard the news that after sweeping you away, someone is willing to pay 50 billion to clean up this mess, of course, this is just a literal number, and I don't know how many in private. β
"Five hundred billion!" Longwu's face was shocked or shocked.
"Eric, stop it, you can't afford to mess with these people, you can't afford to mess with the whole city of H, you can't afford to mess with anyone - even the government needs them to fund ......" Officer Ma said earnestly.
"No way!" Long Wu gritted his teeth, "My brothers are still waiting for me to give me a way to live, I have to order this batch of goods today, and no one can stop me!" β
βericβ¦β¦β
"No one can stop me!" Long Wu interrupted Officer Ma's words, and suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at Officer Ma's head. At the same time, Officer Ma's gun was also on Longwu's head. Neither of them spoke, their eyes fixed on each other, without blinking.
After a long while, Officer Ma sighed and lowered his head, while the muzzle of the gun also left Longwu's forehead: "We have been talking for 7 minutes now, and there are still 8 minutes. β
"What are you talking about?" Ryumu asked, and the muzzle of the gun also left the other man's head.
"Listen!" Officer Ma said, handing the cigarette again.
Long Wu took the cigarette, pricked up his ears, and sure enough, he faintly heard the sound of the propeller, and his face changed: "All of your people are already here, ...... is this?" β
"Troops." Officer Ma helped the other party light a cigarette and said unhurriedly, "And the sea." β
Long Wu turned his head to look and saw two huge black shadows gradually appearing on the sea level, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "That's ...... Could it be...... Warship!? β
A cigarette fell silently to the ground.
In the dock warehouse, a group of motorcyclists looked out through the window, and when they saw Boss Long coming with all the people, they all showed happy expressions, but their joy did not last long, and they saw Boss Long kneeling in front of the warehouse, he bowed to the warehouse a few times, and then turned away with tears in his eyes.
Longwu is gone, the people of the Sanhe Society are gone, the people of ** are gone, they have given up their brothers in the warehouse, and they have given up the last hope.
Back in the car, Long Wu's body fell heavily on the seat, his eyes were blank, he looked ahead stupidly, and then slowly raised the phone and put it in his ear: "Sword wolf, help me pick up Uncle Li." β
On a sunny weekend, the beautiful Victoria Harbour is rippling with blue waters, countless people frolic in the shallow sea, bask in the sun on the beach, and if it weren't for the newspaper reports that people have committed suicide by jumping into the sea every day recently, there would have been even more people visiting here. Turquoise waters, soft sand, warm sunshine...... These things can make people forget the hardships of life for a while.
A wonderful flute sounded on the beach, and people looked sideways, and the flute player was a young man, wearing a palm hat, a pair of large sunglasses, a shirt with coconut trees printed on it, beach pants, and a pair of green slippers on his feet, and he was lazily leaning on a wooden box more than one person high. His casual dress and laid-back demeanor are enviable, and he seems to be the only one on the beach who is truly comfortable and happy.
A song is blown. The man put away the flute and stuck it in his waist, wrapped the wooden box in a black cloth on the beach, then carried the wooden box on his shoulder, and walked out of the beach with a charming smile.
The young man carried the wooden box and walked straight to the private harbor not far away, where a luxurious cruise ship docked with a blue lantern mark.
Seeing the young man approaching, several people in black suits in front of the cruise ship stepped forward to ask what they said, and one of them in a black suit ran quickly onto the deck, and after a while, a person came out of the cabin, the person was wearing a gray suit and curly chestnut short hair, it was the boss of the Sanhe Society, Longwu.
"Hahaha. Boss Long greeted me personally, and I was flattered, boy. The young man strode forward, but was stopped by two bodyguards, who reached out and pressed him on the shoulder. The young man did not resist, with a smile on his face, and let the two bodyguards use the detector to sweep his whole body over and over again.
"That's it!" Long Wu stopped the bodyguard, "No need to search." Then he said to the young man, "If you dare to come alone, you will be considered bold - come in." β
In the center of the cabin was a large hall, and around the hall stood people in black suits, all of them burly and fierce. There is a semi-circular table in the center of the hall, which seems to be a ** game table, at this moment, there are three people sitting behind the table, all of them seem to be over 50 years old, and when Long Wu led the young man in, three pairs of slightly presbyopic eyes stared at the young man.
"Oops! Uncle Li! Uncle Zeng! Uncle Qiu! Without waiting for the old people to speak, the young man shouted to himself, and his tone was quite fussful, "The three of them are Taishan Beidou of H City, and they actually saw it at the same time today, it's really ...... Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! The young man stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand across the table, who knew that the three old men were indifferent at all, the young man was stunned, and his face smiled a little embarrassed, "Hehe, it's abrupt!" β
"It's better for the young man to be calm," said the old man sitting in the middle, "sit down." β
"Yes! Uncle Li! The young man put down the box on his shoulder, and instead of sitting on the stool, he sat down on the box he had brought, and Longwu stood behind the old man. At this time, the scenery outside the window gradually changed, and the ship was already moving.
"Say it!" The old man sitting on the left spoke, "Which way are you on and what do you want?" β
"Back to Uncle Zeng," the young man said respectfully, "Actually, we are not on the same road, our boss is a businessman, and he just wants to talk to you about a business." β
"Bullshit business, is this what you do in business?" Long Wu became angry and opened his mouth to scold, but he was glared back by the old man in the middle, Uncle Li, and immediately stopped.
"Although a few of our old guys have washed their hands, but we juniors really don't understand the rules and offended your boss, I apologize again." Uncle Li spoke again, "But I think that no matter on the aisle or on the sea, everyone is here to eat, the so-called harmony makes money, and everything must be left a bottom line, I don't know if the little brother thinks I am right?" β
"That's right! That's right! The young man nodded and said, "It's just a golden word, and our boss said the same, so this time I sent the juniors here to express a meaning - I want to make friends with the brothers on the road, everyone will be harmonious, and make money together in the future." β
"Our business is the inheritance left by our ancestors, why do you want to intervene?" Uncle Qiu, who was sitting on his right hand, spoke, with fire in his tone.
"Uncle Qiu, everyone, be angry!" The young man stood up and said, "Although it is rude to say this, ...... In this way, I came this time and brought a contract, and I believe that after reading it, you will understand that only by cooperating with us can you keep the inheritance left by your ancestors. β
"Bang!" Although Uncle Zeng is old, he is still angry, and he is the first to shoot the case. The black-clothed people around them screamed and pulled out their guns. The young man looked around, still smiling, and seemed to care.
Uncle Li raised his hand and waved lightly, making everyone put away their guns, and then said to the young man in front of him, "It's right for young people to be a little bold, but it also depends on the situation, we now have more than 1,000 brothers and more than 1,000 guns here, old man, my prestige is not as good as it was back then, and I can't help some people, so I advise you to think before you speak." After speaking, he gave a look to the side, and a bodyguard immediately stepped forward to pick up the contract in the young man's hand and handed it to him.
The three old men leaned together to look at the content of the contract, and Long Wu also brought his eyes up, but the four people with four pairs of eyes were more and more surprised, and the more they looked at it, the more angry they became, and finally even Uncle Li, who had been calm, couldn't help it, grabbed the contract, and tore it in half with a "stab".
"Oh!" The young man looked at Uncle Li with a surprised face, "Tear up the contract, is that not negotiable?" β
"That's right! If the negotiations break down, let's solve the matter by force in the future! Uncle Li said angrily. The men in black around him pulled out their guns again.
"Oh, I said it, we are businessmen, how can we use force." The young man said with a hippie smile, "Why don't you play a song to extinguish the fire for you?" After speaking, he didn't care about the other party's expression, took out the flute, and blew it by himself, only to see his cheeks agitating, and seemed to blow hard, but the people around him couldn't hear a sound.
"How can it be!" Long Wu stepped forward and pulled out a gun against the young man's forehead, "You don't even take people seriously!" I'll teach you how to respect people! After saying that, the bullet was loaded with a "click".
The young man raised his head and smiled: "I know, I have offended many people with this temper in my life, in the next life, I will definitely learn well in the next life." β
"Bang!" The crisp sound of gunfire was heard far away from the cruise ship.
"Huhu ......" looked at the bloody bullet hole on the young man's forehead, and Longwu gasped. At this time, there was a slight "dong dong" sound from the wooden box under the young man, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"What's that? Open it up and take a look! Uncle Li said.
Several black-clothed men stepped forward, removed the young man's body, took out a dagger and cut the black cloth wrapped in the wooden box, revealing a swarthy wood, which turned out to be a coffin made of tung paint.
"Coffin!?" Long Wu was slightly surprised, "Hmph, did you prepare it for yourself?" After saying that, he stepped forward, shot and smashed the rivets of the coffin, and kicked the lid open......
