Chapter 128: Hidden Sin
"Sanfeng, sit down and listen to me carefully." Zhang Wen motioned to his son not to make a noise.
Zhang Sanfeng sat upright and straightened his body.
Lu Hong here also listened carefully.
Zhang Wen began to talk eloquently: "Your father and I are almost fifty years old, I haven't read much, and I just graduated from elementary school and went to society not long after." At that time, not long after the end of the Cultural Revolution, the Pearl River was also seeking development, and everywhere was chaotic. As for me, as a native of Yangcheng, I followed a group of locals in Yangcheng, and I didn't look like any people at first.
Later, in the 80s, it was reformed and opened up, and Yangcheng entered a period of rapid development. With economic development comes social problems. It's hard for us to get along, so we follow some organizations from out of town, oh, what you call gangs now, and follow them. With our relationship as locals of Yangcheng, we have opened up a lot of relationships. At that time, we dared to do anything, robbing, stealing, cheating, in short, we did whatever was easy to get money. Of course, there are no fewer things like fights and brawls, we cut people, people cut us, and the few scars on my back are left at that time. In short, two words, bitter! ”
Zhang Wen said very deeply, not without emotion.
Zhang Sanfeng became more and more excited when he heard this, and interjected and asked, "Dad, have you ever killed someone?" ”
Zhang Wen was stunned for a moment, fell into memory, and muttered: "Kill? Maybe killed, maybe not. At that time, the group beating, you cut me, I cut you, who died and who was injured, I couldn't tell the difference. It is also impossible to say who killed it. Anyway, I picked it up. ”
He gradually came back to his senses, stared at Zhang Sanfeng and said, "Sanfeng, you have calculated it now, it is much better." Don't interject, listen to me: just live the life of these gangs, and then crack down on them several times in the past eight years, and your father and I have escaped. Then in the 90s, I gradually mixed up, I was very prestigious in this area, and the brothers on the road were also obedient, and all kinds of business were very prosperous. But I'm worried. Because I know that with the passage of time, the society has become clearer, and those of us have never had a good time.
So I had the idea of whitewashing, and I used the funds on hand to open a hotel, using the cloak of the hotel to cover our identities. Of course, in this way, there will be fewer fights and killings, and many brothers are not suitable and propose to split up. Originally, I was very hesitant at that time, for fear that the power of the family would be damaged and retaliated against, but at that time, you were also growing up, and I thought that I couldn't let you live that kind of fighting and killing in the future, so I gritted my teeth and agreed, and gradually let go of the power in my hand, and transferred my energy to the hotel.
"I have to say that I have always been very lucky, just a few years after I let go, after Ninety-Seven, the country hit the forces on the road even harder, and many brothers went in or went. I have been whitewashed for several years and have not been implicated. This made me more determined to completely whitewash, and in the past ten years, our Kelly Hotel has developed to such a large scale! And I, too, can be regarded as a person with status and status, at least I can go out to various drinking parties, and I can also call those sanctimonious political axe officials brothers! ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Wen turned his gaze to Zhang Sanfeng and said, "Sanfeng, I'm telling you this, I just don't want you to follow my old path again, then there is no future!" You should put more thought into hotel management, these hotels will be yours sooner or later! ”
Zhang Sanfeng was distracted: "Dad, I want to know your secret business, not to listen to you talk about history!" Speaking of which, you haven't gotten to the point yet! ”
Lu Hong nodded again and again when he heard this, to talk about this, he was even more anxious than Zhang Sanfeng, because while watching the video, he also recorded it.
I only heard Zhang Wen sigh heavily and said, "Didn't I say it, you have to put your mind on the right business." ”
Zhang Sanfeng said angrily: "Then what are you doing in those businesses secretly, aren't you bent on whitewashing?" ”
"Do you think I want to?" Zhang Wen raised his voice, "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." I was forced to do so. ”
Zhang Sanfeng glanced at him: "Dad, you're not honest." I heard my uncle say that these businesses are very profitable, more profitable than our hotel. ”
"Don't mention your uncle to me!" Zhang Wen roared, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and his eyes were resentful, "Ten years ago, because the hotel expansion was too busy, I handed over a few stores in Yangcheng to him to take care of. What about him, how did he do it? He actually used the hotel as a place to sell drugs, which is nothing, and he actually took the initiative to contact those drug lords in my name and make deals with them, and the location was placed in the hotel several times! TMD, I finally washed my white clothes, and because of his greed, he pushed me back into the black dye vat. Don't even think about getting out of this matter, those people also want to cover up with the prestige of my hotel, and they refuse to stop. What else can I do? do, dangerous; If you don't do it, don't think about getting out......"
When Zhang Wen said this, he couldn't help sighing, and sighed loudly: "It's a pity that my more than ten years of hard work have fallen short, and I have been calculating every day for more than ten years, always worrying, and trying my best to do this thing secretly, for fear that others will find out." Damn, this is even worse than when I was cut! ”
"Dad...... I see. Zhang Sanfeng was a little difficult to accept, he thought that his father took the initiative to do these things, but who knew that he was forced.
Zhang Wen glanced at him helplessly, pointed to his head, and said, "Look at it, this hair is black, it's dyed." That's how my gray hair came about, and for the sake of safety, I even had to have the courage to deal with those officialdom carefully, and I would do whatever it took to get their protection. ”
Zhang Sanfeng rubbed his hands, not knowing what to say.
"So, Sanfeng, don't get your hands on these things, it's not good for you, guarding the hotel is enough for you to be chic for a lifetime." Zhang Wen laughed at himself, "In the past ten years, I have indeed made a lot of money by selling those things, but what is the use, do I dare to use it, where can I use it?" It can only be deposited abroad, and even domestic banks dare not deposit! ”
"Dad, how much did you earn?" Zhang Sanfeng became interested.
Zhang Wen glared at him: "Don't ask, I won't tell you." I'd rather the money rot in a foreign bank than use it at home, hmph, that will only hurt us. ”
"That's a pity." Zhang Sanfeng sighed repeatedly.
Zhang Wen glanced at him and said, "It's not that it can't be used, it's just that you have to be a little more aggressive, and when you can take over the hotel business, your mother and I will immigrate abroad, and no one will check when the money is used." ”
Zhang Sanfeng listened excitedly: "Yes, Dad, that's it." Don't worry, I'll be working hard from now on. ”
Zhang Wen first smiled with relief, then remembered something, and his face became gloomy again: "In the future, the people from the Public Security Bureau, don't make peace with them, don't believe them." ”
Zhang Sanfeng was a little puzzled: "Dad, doesn't that Deputy Director Wu listen to you very much?" ”
"Obedient?" Zhang Wen sneered, "I think he wishes I would die early." ”
"Why?" Zhang Sanfeng was shocked.
"Because he has a handle in my hand."
Zhang Sanfeng's eyes rolled when he heard this: "Dad, what is the handle, he saw me this morning and asked me if I had brought anything with me." Is that what you call a handle? ”
Zhang Wen nodded.
"You're going to give it back to him?" Zhang Sanfeng was in a hurry.
Zhang Wen scolded: "It's not your kid who caused this trouble, this time someone died, I have a request for him, can I not agree?" ”
"How does this work?" Zhang Sanfeng was even more anxious, "Dad, in this case, he won't cover us in the future." ”
Zhang Wen sneered: "What are you afraid of, I'm really ready to give it to him, and I haven't backed it up." Sanfeng, you have to remember, this person, one wrong step, one wrong step, it's hard to turn back. ”
Zhang Sanfeng was a little enlightened and asked, "Dad, what kind of handle is it?" ”
"A CD." A smile tugged at the corner of Zhang Wen's mouth, "Sanfeng, our hotel is still very useful, because of security, those famous people or officials have come here to open rooms." What to do in the open room, eat, drink and gamble! This Wu Ce is very lustful, every time he comes to our hotel, he calls a woman, and sometimes he asks several people to serve him at the same time. Hmph, his identity is very useful to us, and of course I want to take the opportunity to record those scenes of him. ”
"Dad, you're so wise." Zhang Sanfeng praised it from the bottom of his heart, "Where did you put the disc?" ”
"Isn't it wise?" Zhang Wen smiled, suddenly pointed at the camera on the top of the door, and asked Zhang Sanfeng, "Do you know what that is used for?" ”
"Isn't it a thief?"
"That's just one of them. This study is used by me to receive some officials and bosses, some things are not visible, I want to record their voices and appearances, as a means to protect themselves, as long as there is a video and voice, they will not dare to do anything to me! ”
Zhang Sanfeng was stunned.
Lu Hong was also stunned, Zhang Wen's explanation finally relieved him, no wonder the other party would install a monitor in his study.
I only heard Zhang Wen say again: "I'm not stupid enough to trap myself in." Only I can turn on the surveillance machine, and I go up regularly to delete and destroy some unnecessary videos. ”
Lu Hong sneered when he heard this, you are not stupid, but you didn't expect me to have such a means!
"Dad, you put all those CDs about Wu Ce on the computer?" Zhang Sanfeng asked with interest.
Lu Hongxin'er mentioned it higher, he knew that the disc was not on the computer, because he didn't even find it.
Zhang Wen shook his head and said: "I'm not so careless, now it is always said that computers are prone to problems and will leak a lot of things. ”
"Edison Chen!" Zhang Sanfeng added.
"I don't care what he wants, in short, he's just a fool, he did it himself, and he recorded it proudly, and the most terrible thing is that he actually believes in the computer!" Zhang Wen sneered, and pointed to the safe behind the desk, "Sanfeng, do you see it, where is it?" I burned the video to a disc and saved it, and deleted everything on my computer. ”
"Haha, Dad, you're so careful."
"Is that careful?" Zhang Wen shook his head and laughed, "I'm not talking about the safe. In the box are some top-secret information of the hotel, as well as some valuables. This thing is the most thief, I dare to put those things in a box? I'm not old yet. You help me remove the safe, there's a dark compartment at the bottom, see, pull up the floor, everything is inside. ”
"Haha!"
This is Lu Hong's laughter, God has lived up to his hard work, and finally let him discover where Zhang Wen is hiding his crimes.
