That night, Jojo and I sat on the roof until dawn. After dawn, the two of us were asleep back to back.

We talked for one night, and I forgot what we even said, only that we smoked all the cigarettes on me. The two of them smelled of tobacco, like two big smokers. We seemed to talk about the past, about the time when we were in Nanjing together, but Qiaoqiao was careful not to bring up any more about the "present".

For the whole night, we were caught up in the memories of the good old days, and we all tacitly did not mention my current situation.

It wasn't until later, when we were so tired that we simply closed our eyes and recuperated, and we both fell asleep without paying attention.

When I woke up, it was already dawn. I woke up earlier than Jojo, and I just felt that sitting on the floor all night, my waist and coccyx were sore and painful, and it was really uncomfortable.

As soon as I moved, I also woke up Jojo, and I judged that she was also very uncomfortable when she stretched her waist. The two of us looked at each other and smiled.

"I'm going back." I spoke slowly and looked up at the sky: "It's already morning, I haven't been back all night, and during the day, those brothers of mine will be worried." ”

Joe Jon sighed, "I'm going back too, I'm going to Toronto in the next two days...... Alas, if I had known that I could meet you in Vancouver, I wouldn't have agreed to Li Wenjing's sissy to accompany him to Toronto. ”

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why did you come to Canada with Li Wenjing?"

Qiao Qiao thought for a moment and sighed: "It's still my old man's problem." I and Li Wenjing's sissy have reached an offensive and defensive alliance in private. Neither of us was interested in each other, but for the sake of the pressure in the family, the two of us were still superficial. This time it was a business that their family had invested in North America, and Li Wenjing needed to come to a social event...... It seems that he is ready to hand over some of Canada's industries to Li Wenjing to take care of it, anyway, I don't know the specifics. This time, I followed Li Wenjing to meet his parents, who are now in Toronto. If I hadn't met you last night, we should have taken this morning's flight to Toronto. ”

Jojo said this in a very indifferent tone, but I was a little sorry: "I delayed your trip......... If I hadn't dragged you here all night, you would have been on the plane by now. ”

"It's irrelevant." Qiao Qiao waved her hand arrogantly: "What's the point of seeing Li Wenjing's father and mother?" I went and I was just acting, so it was boring...... It's so much more important to meet you. Anyway, Li Wenjing's guy, although a little sissy. But we still know each other very well, I met you last night, and we both ran away, he should be able to guess that we won't be able to catch this morning's flight...... Rest assured, he must have adjusted his arrangements. That guy is very rigid in doing things. Everything has to be arranged in advance, and it is not interesting at all to make it even. I suspect that even if he goes to the toilet several times a day, he has to plan in advance! ”

Listening to Qiaoqiao's disdainful expression, I sighed inwardly.

In fact, I don't have a bad impression of Li Wenjing, and I can even feel that he actually has some kindness towards me, and the few contacts with that guy, especially the gambling, can feel that Li Wenjing seems to have the intention of getting closer to me.

I had a long list of missed calls on my phone and I looked at the number. All of them are Her Royal Highness Princess Sophie. I thought about it and deleted it. There was no intention of calling her back.

"Xiao Wu, listen, I have to go with Li Wenjing today, no matter what, I always have to go to Yingying'er, but I will come back sooner, the fastest. I'll go today and I'll be back tomorrow. ”

I quickly shook my hand: "Don't! You're in such a hurry to go back and forth. Don't delay your business! After all, you still have to go with Li Wenjing to meet his parents. ”

"Cut!" Qiao Qiao's face showed a little disapproval: "Don't mention those two old people!" I get angry at the mention of them! If it weren't for these old guys, Li Wenjing and I wouldn't have been messed up with the mandarin duck spectrum! What annoys me the most are those self-righteous old people, why do they think that they can determine the happiness of our life with just two sentences? Whoever the old lady wants to marry and who she wants to marry, it's none of their business! I'm not the daughter-in-law of their Li family, so I don't need to come to the door to make them happy! I'll show my face and give them the face of the Li family, it's good! ”

Then Jojo took out a card: "This is my phone number, which I will use during my time in Canada and before returning home." You can call this number at any time to find me...... Brat! Remember to give me a call! If you dare to disappear again, I'll ...... the next time we meet," she made a "cut" pose with her fierce single palm.

Jojo took my phone again and took my phone number as well. Also asked for my address. I thought about it for a while and told her that the place where I lived was the garage of the eighth master, but that place she had better not go.

Then we climbed down the fire ladder, and I got down the ladder first...... But here's the problem...... Jojo was on top of my head, and when I looked up, I could see her long legs and fluttering skirts.

To be honest, I really didn't mean to look up...... It's a completely instinctive gaze, but my eyes have been noticed by Qiao Qiao, and Miss Qiao is not polite to me! I was still more than three meters away from the ground, she was annoyed and angry, and shouted: "Little Wu, where are your eyeballs fat!!" After saying that, he had already flown up and headed straight at my front door.

Fortunately, I was a good person, and I made a dodge on the fire ladder, and one of them flipped over and landed firmly on the ground. Jojo had already slid down, immediately clenching his fists and slamming after me.

We giggled and chased after a few steps, and we had already walked out of the alley, but when we reached the mouth of the alley, I was stunned.

At the mouth of the alley, there was a black sè bridge car parked, Li Wenjing was dressed in a deep sè suit, standing next to the car, leaning lazily on the side of the car, watching me and Qiaoqiao walk out of the alley with a somewhat calm smile on his face. He also raised his wrist to look at his watch, and smiled as if it were casual: "I thought it would be half an hour before you came down." ”

I looked at him with some surprise: "You...... Did you already know we were up there? You've been waiting here for a long time? ”

Even Qiaoqiao's eyes widened: "Sissy, how long have you waited?" Won't wait a night, will you? ”

"Of course not." Li Wenjing's fingers on the car window lightly knocked on the window glass a few times, the window glass slowly rolled down, and one of the drivers inside quickly pushed the door and walked out, holding a lady's fur cloak in his hand, and slowly walked to Qiao Qiao's side.

"Put it on, Miss. In the morning in Canada, the temperature is still quite low. I don't want to go on a plane with a woman who is constantly sneezing and snotting...... The cabin of the plane is enclosed, and if you catch a cold, it is easy to infect me. Li Wenjing smiled naturally, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Jojo didn't care about getting angry with him. It's just that there is something strange in his eyes: "The surname is Li, you tell you the truth, you already knew that we were upstairs here?" How long have you been waiting here, you won't really wait all night, will you? ”

"Of course not." Li Wenjing smiled, and then did not panic: "Qiaoqiao, after all, you came to Canada with me alone, of course I have to be responsible for your safety, otherwise how can I explain to Uncle Qiao?" When you and Chen Yang ran out last night, I had my men follow you from afar. They saw you climb to the top of the building...... And then I was notified...... Well, of course I do. You old friends are reunited, and you have a lot to talk about...... I'm a very familiar person, so I didn't go up to disturb you, and let you talk openly...... As for me, I'm certainly not going to be stupid enough to wait here until dawn...... I went back to the hotel last night for a good night's sleep, and then woke up in the morning and took time to take a shower, swim for a while, and do a bone-loosening massage. I also had a Chinese breakfast...... Then I changed into new clothes to pick you up. ”

Li Wenjing smiled confidently. But his kind of self-confidence does not seem arrogant at all, but gives people a kind of appropriate restraint, and a trace of calmness from the heart.

Then he looked at me and shook my hand again, and his eyes were sincere—or at least genuine—"Chen Yang, I talked to Miss Sophie for a while last night, and I really didn't expect you to join the ...... in Canada by now Well, I don't have any preconceptions about the big circle, but I always think so. These underworld organizations are still in their infancy. I personally admire you, and I made that when we first met. I just think you're a very nice person, and you're ...... It seems to have some magical sè color...... God, I won't forget that gambling with you! I even thought Lady Luck was your lover that day! He smiled casually, then changed his serious tone and said to me, "I just think that people like you shouldn't stay in the underworld...... Of course, everyone has their own ambitions, and if you want to leave one day, please remember to come to me...... I will reserve a good place for you within my family business and I am sure you will be a very good person. ”

I glanced at Li Wenjing with deep meaning: "Why do you think so?" I don't seem to have much talent for you to value, right? ”

Li Wenjing pointed to his heart and said with a smile: "The theory I believe in is that 'xìng grid determines success', and I appreciate your xìng grid, so I think you will be a very good person." As for talent...... Those can be cultivated. However, the quality of a person's own life will directly affect his achievements. ”

Qiao Qiao stood aside, looked at Li Wenjing coldly, and suddenly interjected: "Sissy, what are you up to?" ”

"Jojo, just as I could never guess your mind, I won't tell you what is on my mind." Li Wenjing smiled a little incomprehensibly: "We are just acting in front of our parents and relatives, the hero and heroine in the play are not the protagonists outside the play, if you know me too well, I am afraid you will fall in love with me." ”

Jojo didn't speak, and directly returned him a middle finger.

"Okay, it's time for us to go, so we can go to afternoon tea with my parents in the afternoon." Li Wenjing shook hands with me and said goodbye, and I hugged Qiao Qiao again.

"Chen Yang, remember my words...... Big Circle ...... Their organization may not be right for you. ”

Before Jojo got in the car, he whispered to me, "I'll fly back to you tomorrow." ”

They all got into the car, but Li Wenjing rolled down the window again and told me with a smile: "By the way, our princess is angry now." You have to be careful. ”

As the car slowly departed, I stood still, feeling a little dazed.

The reunion with Jojo was something I didn't expect at all, and I originally thought that I would have to endure the loneliness and loneliness in my heart for a considerable period of time, working alone in this strange Western world......

Maybe it's because I'm too lonely and too depressed. I'm going to have a night with that princess.

Yan Di at home......

Alas, I still don't want to.

I walked for a while, then flagged down a taxi and went back to the repair yard of the eighth master. I saw a commercial van still parked on the street...... There were two men in the car, pretending to be reading a newspaper.

Actually, I already know these days, these are jǐng cha. The big commotion during this time. Jǐng Cha has already made us a key target.

It's just that Canada's jǐng cha is really uncreative, and there is simply no hidden xìng at all for their stalking, even a fool can see it.

As soon as I got back to the garage, a couple of brothers outside were changing the tires of a car, and when they saw me walk in, they whistled at me and mocked me for the way I looked in a suit and leather shoes.

I saw Ciro walking out with a battery in his overalls, and when he saw me come in, his face was a little solemn. Hurry up and grab me: "Little Five, the eighth master may want to see you, you can come quickly." ”

"Oh?"

"Yes. It seems like something big has happened......... Early this morning, a lot of uncles and uncles came, and now they are all in a meeting with the eighth master...... Tiger has already come to you once. ”

My heart is also in my heart.

As soon as I walked to the back yard, I saw Tiger standing downstairs in the eighth master's office, looking at me and waving to me.

"Little Wu, you go and change your clothes."

Tiger's tone was also serious: "Then ten minutes later." The eighth master wants to see you. ”

"What do you change?" I'm a little dazed. I glanced at myself, and I was quite neat.

"Change into Tang costumes." Tiger smiled: "Oh, I almost forgot, you don't have a Tang costume yet, I'll give you a set of my own first, you should be able to wear my clothes." ”

He smiled peacefully at me today, and led me to his room to get a dress.

Tiger has always had a room in our dorm building. Although he rarely lives here, all of us here know that Tiger is the closest assistant to the eighth master. He has always followed the eighth master. His room had always been rarely inhabited. But Tiger is almost the number two person here, so even if his room is empty, no one will remove it.

His room was exactly the same size as my room with Ciro. It's just that there is a little less furniture inside. Opening an old-fashioned wardrobe, he took out a black Tang costume for me, compared it to my figure, and said with a smile: "Just wear this." ”

This is a somewhat old dress, and Tiger has some emotion in his eyes: "This is my back then, I remember that when we negotiated with the Chinese Gang, we all wore Tang costumes." After that, it is rarely used. ”

My heart moved.

Huabang?

Wearing a Tang costume?

Could it be that the eighth master asked me to wear a Tang costume today, and he took me to meet the people of the Hua Gang?

I guessed that right! After changing my clothes, Tiger led me to the eighth master's office.

The eighth master's office is usually not allowed to be entered. I've been here for a few months, and I've only been there two or three times.

I opened the door and went in today, but I saw that the light inside was a little dim, and the headlights were not turned on.

This office is upstairs in a garage, with a separate second-floor room, and downstairs is the car repair site. It's undoubtedly a very humble place, but the benefits are numerous...... Like what......

Not afraid of eavesdropping and voyeurism!

In this big warehouse-like garage, this office on the second floor is a lonely one, there are no other rooms on either side, if someone peeps outside, there is no hiding at all!

After I entered, I saw a long table in the eighth master's office...... To my surprise, this table is not made of wood...... It's metallic...... After looking at it carefully, I recognized that it was a temporary workbench for cutting spot welding.

And on either side of this makeshift long table. There are already a lot of chairs and a lot of people sitting. There are very old men with gray beards and hair, and there are also young strong men. Some look kind, while others have hideous faces, and they are not good people at first glance.

But the only thing in common is that everyone wears Tang costumes!

The eighth master is on the main seat, he is also a white sè Tang dress, it seems that the eighth master looks very elegant, his face is white and lacks two fingers of his left hand, and he is used to knocking on the armrest of the chair............

My eyes immediately narrowed. Because I have already grasped some of the habits of the eighth master. His finger tapping action is usually only when he has a problem to think about in his heart...... Or when you are very annoyed, you will make this action.

And now, although the eighth master's face is calm, there is a bit of chill in his eyes.

"Little Five, come here." The eighth master said to me lightly, and his voice was very peaceful. By the time I stood behind him, Tiger had already exited the room.

"This is Xiao Wu, and now he is my assistant." The eighth master said lightly: "The matter of Vietnam, he will be sent." So what we're talking about today, I think it's necessary for him to listen to it too. ”

I noticed that most of these people in this room looked at me with a little disdain in their eyes. Maybe I'm too young, and these old guys are a little unimpressed.

"Little Wu, you should give your uncles and uncles a salute first." The eighth master said lightly: "All of you here are the family members and leaders of the China Gang in Vancouver Chinatown. ”

I didn't speak. As a junior, he saluted everyone present.

These people are all Chinese gangs. That is, those Chinese gangs who fought with us to the death some time ago...... And, if I'm not mistaken, the sand snake I killed should have been one of these people.

"We're pretty much done. Everyone is the descendants of the same clan and ancestor, and we are fighting back and forth like this, so that those ghosts can see jokes, which is really a bit unusual. The eighth master sighed leisurely, then picked up a teacup in front of him and took a sip. He moistened his throat and said with a smile: "But now everyone can sit down and talk, I think it's good." We Chinese have a saying, called 'peace is precious'. Everyone understands the situation this year. Hell Angels is now out of supply and has to find someone to work with...... I know, you're all experts, and we all have the supply, but there can only be one Hell Angel to work with! Now that we can agree on this, we will work together to get the Vietnamese out of the game first! We Chinese do not speak two words as a family! We came forward to trade with the angels of hell in a big circle, and how much benefit we get, we will give up 30% to drink tea for your colleagues! At the same time, in the Golden Triangle, if you have any good sources of goods, don't hide your armpits, take them out together, and make money for everyone! ”

……

…………

I was behind the Eighth Master, just standing and not talking, listening to these people talk back and forth—to be honest, in my position, I could only listen to the side, and there was no place for me to speak.

Gradually, I understood...... The eighth master is going to make peace with these local traditional Chinese gangs! Today I made an appointment with them to talk about the number.

These local Chinese gangs fought so many times with us some time ago, and they also killed a lot of people, making a lot of trouble...... Most of them are tired now.

Moreover, although they have many gangs, they also have many people...... But it's far less than our big circle unity! After a while, no one wants to bear the damage to their husbands, and once they encounter something, everyone will find a way to hide...... It is also this situation that makes them unable to do our big circle.

The eighth master's strategy is very simple, first make peace with the Chinese gang, and then everyone will work together to drive the Vietnamese out.

This time, the Chinese Gang cooperated with the Vietnamese, but they did not get any benefits, and there were many resentful people, which just gave us an opportunity to win over......

Although our big circle has always been very unkind to see these local traditional Chinese gangs, but the cooperation of fighting angels in the sky and the sky is the most important thing, and other disputes will involve our hind legs! The Eighth Master's strategy is that within a certain limit, we can give up a little profit to the local Hua Gang, and this piece of the cake of the Hell Angels is very large. Consider giving them a little. In exchange for a short period of peace.

For the eighth master, the cooperation with the hell angels is the biggest opportunity for the big circle to move closer to the mainstream, and it is also the biggest opportunity for transformation!

Under this premise, some small concessions are acceptable.

The meeting went well.

My malicious guess is that these guys have been scared by us for a while! It's only now that I'm so talkative.

But I also noticed that the leader of one of the gangs seemed to have been talking to the eighth master in some-for-tat. Most of the anger in the eighth master's eyes came from this.

"That's pretty much it. We all wear Tang costumes, and we are all descendants of Yan and Huang. From now on, put down the knife and gun and it will be a family. This cake, let's share him together. It's far better to make money together than to fight and kill! The eighth master's fingers slammed on the table: "I'm done talking, fellow Daoists, do you have any opinions?" ”

There was silence for a while, and most of the older ones did not speak.

"Eighth Master." The guy who had been a little-for-tat with the eighth master spoke.

This is a stout guy with a thick neck and broad shoulders. The Tang costume on his body seemed to be tightly tied to his body. The hair is short. A square face, but with a slightly raised chin, it seems to be a little unruly...... And more importantly, he always looked at the eighth master with a bit of hatred in his eyes.

What I noticed was that the bridge of his nose was collapsed......... If I'm not mistaken, the bridge of his nose was surgically removed!

I also noticed his hands.

His hand was on the table, and the palm was large and thick! The knuckles are thick. The fingers are very short. What's more. His middle finger, index finger and ring finger are much shorter than the average person...... It seems to be the length of one side......

From the hard cocoon on his hand, I can see that this guy has practiced martial arts! And it's real kung fu!

“…… Eighth Master. He said coldly: "You open your mouth, you will fight when you say, and you will talk about it." But all the blood of our brothers before us was shed in vain? ”

The eighth master looked at him coldly and said lightly: "Yes." It's for nothing. ”

The man stood up in an instant! A slap of the palm on the table! The metal spot welding workbench was slapped by him! My heart sank, this man's hands are not small!

"It's not okay to shed it in vain!" He grinned, his face was hideous, then looked around and said, "All of you here are my uncles and uncles!" It stands to reason that this is a way to get rich, and I shouldn't stand in the way of everyone's wealth! But the big circle killed so many of us before......... Now that we want to talk, we have to sit down and talk with them...... So where do we put our faces! He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Good! Even if you put up with it, uncles and uncles, but I can't bear it, my brother was killed in a woman's house! The throat is cut! Lao Tzu is such a good brother, and now he wants me to pat his ass, and treat it as if his brother died in vain, but it's not that simple! ”

When I heard this, my heart moved......

Cutting ...... Throat

I narrowed my eyes and secretly examined the man's face for a moment.

The eighth master looked at him coldly, and said slowly: "There are dead and wounded on both sides, not only your brother is not our brother?" Sitting down today is to talk about business, if Mr. Sha wants to take revenge, we will go on in a big circle! ”

This guy deliberately laughed a few times and looked at the eighth master fiercely: "The surname Fang, don't stir up trouble!" I'm not trying to cut off everyone's money! But you big circles are too bullying to do things! You also fight, you also talk, and you take most of the benefits...... Where did you put us! ”

The eighth master was not angry this time, and laughed faintly twice: "Mr. Sha, what do you want?" What do you want? ”

"My brother's life!" This surnamed Sha's eyebrows were upside down, his face was full of murderous anger, and he stared at the eighth master: "I don't want anything else!" I want you to pay back my brother Sand Snake's life!" Whoever killed my brother will take his life!" I don't care about your financial means! I don't want my share, I don't want it, I give it all out, and I should give you tea! But that bastard who killed my brother, his life, I want it! ”

Sand Snake!!

The muscles in the corners of my eyes jumped. He was indeed the brother of the sand snake......

The eighth master smiled, and there was a chill in his smile: "The surname is Sha, who are you referring to as my eight fingers?" If you say a word, you want me to send my brother up for you to kill? You're too naïve. ”

"Then I'll fight him! Gamble! If I click on my back, I will admit it if he kills me! Everyone gambles for their lives, and life and death have their own destiny! He had a hideous smile on his face: "Don't tell me that you big circles are all bad seeds." ”

The muscles of the eighth master's eyes were beating, and I knew that the eighth master was really on fire.

I immediately reached out and pressed lightly on the eighth master's shoulder, then slowly stepped forward and looked at this guy with a provocative gaze: "What's your name?" ”

"Boy, Lao Tzu's name is Shahu! Where the did you get that? Haven't you heard of Lao Tzu's name? ”

I nodded, just staring at him, "Good! Shahu, I'll fight you! Life and death have their own destiny! ”

"You? Little white face, why are you fighting me? The sand tiger looked at me with a mocking look.

"Why?" I clenched my fists, gave a thumbs up, pointed at myself, looked at him with my chin raised, and said coldly: "I cut the throat of the sand snake with one sword!" ”
