Chapter 87: Between Black and White
Although my statement is a little too naked, the senior brother can't object to it when he listens to it, just because what I say is not good, but it is the truth.
"Since gangsters are going to exist anyway, then as long as there are gangsters in this world, then there will always be people who will go to the underworld, and there will always be people who want to take this road and eat this line of food, even if I Chen Yang don't take this road today, what's the use?" I sighed helplessly, but quietly looked at the senior brother's face, and said slowly: "In your opinion, senior brother, I am now a hooligan leader, a boss of the underworld, bullying and dominating the market, collecting protection money, fighting, smuggling...... Except for the drugs I haven't touched now, I admit all the words you just accused me, senior brother...... These things, although not done by me, are mostly doing this kind of thing under my command at the moment. ”
"Then what else do you have to say!" The elder brother snorted.
"Senior brother, have you listened to me?" I said, "A lot of things aren't necessarily as simple as people think. Perhaps, standing in your position, you are just a bystander, and it is easy to watch from the sidelines, but it is difficult for you to understand the truth of the matter. The measure of good and evil in your mood is too simplistic. ”
"Nonsense!" When the senior brother heard this, he immediately retorted: "Is the underworld still kind and so on?" Where are there any good people in the underworld! ”
"I never said I was a good person." I shook my head, still patient, and said slowly: "But senior brother, are there still few bad people in this world?" Well, in your opinion. The people in the underworld are all bad guys, and they should all be arrested and brought to justice. If all these gangs of the underworld are cleared out, then there will be good public order in the outside society, and the streets will be peaceful, and there will be no stealing chickens and dogs, no fighting, no gangs, no smuggling and drug trafficking, no fighting for territory, and no protection money. There's no forcing good people to become prostitutes, is there? ”
"This ......," the elder brother was speechless...... But despite the ugliness of his face, he refused to let go. Just clenched his teeth. Indeed, with the personality of the senior brother, as well as his temper cultivated by the master since he was a child, he is such a person. It was wrong to openly admit that "evil does not prevail over good", which really made him a little embarrassed.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw him being asked. Only then continued: "Then it's still the same sentence...... Even if I am a junior and younger brother, I listened to your words, went back immediately, dismissed all my subordinates, and let them all be good and have the strength to go to the dock to find a job, and those who have the skills to be a small worker, and those who have the capital to do a small business, and from then on to be a man. Don't go down the underworld anymore...... When I said this, I couldn't help but look at the senior brother, and from his face, even he himself felt that such a thing was absolutely impossible.
I smiled and said, "Okay, let's assume that I now have 200 brothers in the immediate line, and nearly 2,000 junior brothers on the periphery!" Even if I had the ability and listened to your teachings, then the more than 2,000 underworld elements, all of them repented and became new people at my request...... I'm not going to say how likely that is. Let's assume that this is possible...... So, what about after that? I looked at the senior brother's face: "Even if I control the Great Circle Gang now, all of them are good...... So many streets, so many blocks, so many illegal transactions underground, all the crimes that the big circle controlled, all disappeared...... So, in these neighborhoods and these territories that the Great Circle now controls, can people really live and work in peace and contentment? Is there really no underworld? ”
......"Senior brother, I can't even say a word.
However, I didn't intend to use this kind of question to interrogate the senior brother, so I immediately said to myself: "Of course not!!" There are more than a dozen gangs in Vancouver! Even if I dismiss the big circle, the big circle doesn't exist, and other gangs will immediately enter these vacated territories! Then the territory that originally belonged to the large circle of influence will be reoccupied by other gangsters! When the time comes, the same ruffians will extort those merchants, some will fight, some will steal chickens and dogs, some will rob, some will do the leather and meat business, and some will sell drugs...... Nothing will change!! Looking at Senior Brother's ugly face, I sighed and continued, "Okay, let's take another 10,000 steps back...... Big brother, now I'm going to say a big thing! With my current status, the underworld forces in Vancouver are actually looking down on me! Now my little brother, just by virtue of the nickname of my fifth master, I can say nothing in Vancouver! On the side of my tone, I couldn't help but show a little sharpness, and said proudly: Vancouver is a place that naturally has the final say during the day, but at night...... Hmph, it's me Chen Yang who has the final say! ”
When the senior brother heard this, his face changed again.
"However, even if I, Chen Yang, tried my best, so that all the gangsters in Vancouver would be good...... I smiled and said, "The Indians, the Iranians, the Arabs, the whites, and the other Chinese gangs in Chinatown have all listened to me and have never done those shady things...... So, in the whole of Vancouver, is there no underworld? ”
When I said this, I sighed heavily, and then said word by word: "Of course not!!" If there are no gangsters in Vancouver, then immediately, there will be countless other gangs from other places, and underworld organizations from other regions will enter the city and grab every piece of territory here! It won't be long before everything will be the same......"
Seeing that the senior brother's confidence had collapsed, I continued to laugh and said, "Then, even if I have the great ability to make all the gangs in Canada disappear, and all the gangs in Canada will be good...... So what about after that? ”
…… Don't talk about it. "The elder brother finally understood what I meant, he shook his head, my last assumption, I'm afraid the idiot will think it's ridiculous when he hears it.
Let all the gangsters of a country be good at once, and you will be my Son Jesus in the world!!
Senior Brother took a few breaths, his confidence was almost hit by my words, and he couldn't help but show a little frustration on his face, but Senior Brother is not a fool after all, he was a little depressed for a while, and immediately jumped out of the circle set by my words, he glanced at me: "Chen Yang, I don't care what others do, and I can't care so much." I also know that it is impossible for the gangsters to disappear, but you, you are my junior brother, I just need to watch you and not let you go astray. Others...... To be honest, I can't do that much. At least I can't watch you go down the wrong path! ”
"Alas!" I sighed deliberately: "Senior brother, then, you mean 'everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others', right?" ”
This was probably too sharp, and when the senior brother heard it, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. But then he said in a deep voice: "Although this is not good, it is not so much to care about. I just can do my best and try to do as much as I can. As long as you are willing to listen to me and get rid of those filths and follow the good, I will at least save someone. What's more, you're my junior brother! With my own strength, I can't manage too much, and being able to persuade a person to be good is equivalent to one less person going astray, which is better than sitting idly by! Chen Yang, I know that you are very good at saying that I can't talk about those big truths, but today I persuaded you, which means that there is one less underworld member in this world, this is always a fact!! To the best of my ability, it would be nice to be able to save one person and be worthy of my heart!! ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a little moved in my heart. Senior Brother's xìngzi is indeed a little pedantic, but it is also unabashedly upright! He is like this, and he really has a bit of the ancient style of the ancients, although it seems somewhat out of place with this world, but it also has to make people have a little respect!
In this world, there are still more people like him who are full of a sense of justice, the better.
It's just that although I admire him, I still can't listen to his words.
"Senior brother, let me ask you one more question." I smiled and said, "In your opinion, you are persuading me to be kind, you are saving me, only pulling me back...... You are doing your part, hoping to persuade a bad person to do good...... But is that really the case? ”
"So what else?" Senior Brother frowned.
"I'll settle a simple account with you." I sighed, "I'll take this neighborhood as an example." I closed my eyes and thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Before I mastered the big circle, this territory belonged to a Chinese gang at the earliest...... On this street, there is a restaurant, and there is a nightclub at the corner of the street, which is a place for young people to entertain, and every night, where do people sell ecstasy, k-powder, and even methamphetamine, white powder, etc., in addition to these soft xìng drugs!! And then what...... The land here was robbed by the Vietnamese, and when the Vietnamese occupied this place, I heard that they paid a very heavy protection fee for the shops on this street, twice as much as the original Chinese Gang, and there was the nightclub at the corner of the street, which was forcibly bought by the Vietnamese, and I heard that the original owner did not agree to the Vietnamese at first, but later someone broke a leg, and a bullet was mailed to the family...... If he hadn't done this, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago! ”
