Beijing suburb club, in a mysterious private room.

"It's decided?" The old man said to the young man in front of him with a dead fish face, "Are you sure this time?" ”

"Perhaps," the young man took a shallow sip from his coffee cup, "I've found a substitute for the dead, and the whole plan is seamless." As for whether we can succeed in the end, it depends on God's arrangement, after all, we are facing death, not ordinary people! ”

"Who is the substitute ghost? Will it betray us? The old man pondered for a while, and asked gloomily.

"Betrayal?" The young man laughed, "I'm afraid that if he wants to betray us, the Grim Reaper won't give him this chance"

"Giggles" the old and young in the room laughed at the same time.

In a junction between urban and rural areas in the west of Yanjing City, Wu Tao was wearing a colorful coat, holding a toothpick, and walking on the street with a few younger brothers. As a descendant of the old Red Army, Wu Tao has also been brilliant, living in the compound of the military region, soaking in local girls and foreign girls, and calling brothers and sisters with a group of three generations of Zihong Whenever he recalls that time, Wu Tao has a kind of pride in his heart. However, an accident 7 years ago made Wu Tao, the once beautiful prince, fall directly into the abyss. My father was arrested for embezzlement, and my grandfather was so angry that he didn't come up to see Marx on the spot. The mother couldn't stand such a change, and took her young sister away to the United States, and there was no news again, as for the relatives of those forces, they drew a clear line with their own family early, and they could hide from Wu Tao's request for help, but what they couldn't hide was to take out a few thousand yuan to send Wu Tao out of the door, and no one wanted to pull Wu Tao out at such a time. In desperation, Wu Tao had no choice but to take his seriously ill grandmother to move to a bungalow at the junction of urban and rural areas.

To say that although Wu Tao is a gentleman and worthless, he is not useless. He has one of the greatest virtues, and that is filial piety. After experiencing family changes and the separation of relatives, Wu Tao is absolutely obedient and obedient to his grandmother. Grandma told him to go east, but he didn't dare to go west, no matter how hard and difficult it was, Wu Tao never broke his grandmother's treatment. Gradually, Wu Tao's reputation for filial piety and morality slowly spread in this area, and some gangsters who had nothing to do also liked to gather around him all day long. Later, under the influence of the gangsters, Wu Tao simply quit his job as a delivery man in a courier company, gathered more than 20 unemployed young people, and became a local snake at the junction of urban and rural areas.

If you want to talk about being a gangster this year, you have to talk about your background and qualifications. Wu Tao, as a descendant of a down-and-out family, no big man is willing to be his backstage, and as a fledgling junior, he has few qualifications. Therefore, after more than 2 years, his business scope is still limited to a farmer's market, an Internet café and a few small faces on this road. The monthly protection fee is not enough to support his little brothers, let alone use the money to open up territory.

But today, Wu Tao's bitter gourd face finally showed a long-lost smile. The little brother behind him saw that the boss was in a good mood today, and took the initiative to step forward and make a few jokes.

"Brother Tao, what good things have happened today? You haven't closed your mouth since the morning! Tell us all about any good things, and let us be happy! ”

Wu Tao kicked his little brother's buttocks, and scolded with a smile, "When you kid collects money, the meat is like a lump of flour, and when there is a good thing, you are like a monkey, okay, brother, I will announce a good news, children, we have money."

"What? Got rich? ”

"Could it be that Brother Tao collected another protection fee yesterday?"

"Brother Tao, how much? Can you reveal it? ”

"Look at you little bunnies, that's it? Protection money? Our monthly protection fees together don't exceed 20,000, right? Just this little money to make you happy like this? Wu Tao puffed up his chest proudly and said to his little brother, "Let me tell you, this time your brother Tao has turned over." ”

He took out a bank card from his pocket and said to the younger brothers as he shook it, "Do you know how much money is in this?" I'll tell you, there's 5"

"Fifty thousand?" The little brother can see the stars in his eyes.

"Shame on you, get out of the way, don't say that the 50,000 yuan mixed with my brother Tao will make you beautiful like this in the future?" Wu Tao slapped his little brother in the face fiercely, "Tell you, it's 500,000 oceans of 500,000 real money."

"Forehead drops"

"Brother Tao, you didn't fool us, did you?"

"Flickering? Let's go, I'll take you to the beautiful foot-washing city to have a chic time, so that you can see if it fools you! Wu Tao waved his hand and walked towards the most upscale foot-washing city in the area.

Wu Tao and others happily walked on the path between the rental sheds. Suddenly, a man came out of a corner and stood in front of them with a big grin, blocking their way.

Wu Tao looked at it, I wiped it, this guy in broad daylight was actually wearing sunglasses, a woolen hat, a mask, and a scarf, and his entire head was covered except for his nose being exposed.

"I said buddy, what do you mean?" Wu Tao said provocatively to the visitor, "What's the drop?" Don't you know my brother Tao? ”

"I heard that you have 500,000," the visitor said coldly.

"What? How do you know? After hearing this, Wu Tao immediately took two steps back and covered his pocket, "Are you robbing?" ”

"Robbery? Do you deserve it too? Hmph" the person sneered twice, "I'm here to make a deal with you"

"Deal? What is the deal? What's in it for me? When Wu Tao heard this, he didn't come to rob himself, so he was much more angry, "Who are you?" What are you doing so mysteriously in broad daylight? ”

"The benefits? Well, I'll give you a great bonus."

"Really? Let's hear it" Wu Tao and his younger brothers began to look forward to it, what is Nima in the past two days, why do people come to talk to him about business every day? !

"The good thing is that I let you continue to live, it's a good deal, right?!" The eerie voice of the person who came made Wu Tao and his younger brothers have goosebumps all over their bodies.

In the next two days, Xu Zixuan did not return to the base, he moved back to his home and stayed by his grandmother's side 24 hours a day.

"Grandma, do you want water? Be careful."

"Grandma, I'll take you to the yard to bask in the sun, it's not good for your health to lie in the house all the time!"

"Grandma, this is the soup I bought for you, you drink the soup while it's hot!"

Although the grandmother was weak and had no energy, in the company of her eldest grandson, her grandmother still had a happy smile on her face. Grandma grabbed Xu Zixuan's arm tightly with her dry hand, and didn't let go even when she was sleeping, as if she was afraid that Xu Zixuan would leave her at any time.

In the early morning of the third day, Xu Zixuan got up early. He gently broke his grandmother's hands on his arm, and then after explaining a few words to Zhang's mother, he left his grandmother's small bedroom. Taking out his mobile phone, Xu Zixuan pressed the power button. In order to concentrate on taking care of his grandmother in the past few days, Xu Zixuan turned off his mobile phone completely.

Ding Ding Ding Countless text messages followed after the boot was turned on. There are those who sell advertisements, those who promote goods, those who scam, and Xu Zixuan, who is looking for a second wife, deleted them one by one. When his hands were about to numb, Xu Zixuan found a piece of information about his former comrades-in-arms.

"Old company commander, Tie Dan's mother has an accident and calls you to turn off your phone, please call back immediately when you receive the message." The sender is Li Qing, a company instructor, and Xu Zixuan's former partner.

Seeing this text message, Xu Zixuan didn't pause, and immediately pressed the call button.

"Company Commander Xu?" Li Qing's phone was quickly connected.

"What's wrong with Tiedan's mother?"

"Last night, Tie Dan's mother was on the way home and was forced by the gangsters. Annihilated," Li Qing said bitterly.

"What did you say?" Xu Zixuan was stunned and froze in place. (To be continued.) )
