Chapter 46 (I) The Old Man with "Amnesia".
Wei Lifeng was in front, Tang Shuxing was behind, Wei Dasheng walked last, the three of them went to the rooftop, and there was a man guarding the rooftop, the man was very strong, and he only nodded slightly when he saw Wei Lifeng, and then opened the door to let them in.
Wei Lifeng glanced at the sturdy man, and then introduced Tang Shuxing: "This is Duan Hu, my grandfather's personal bodyguard. β
"Fortunately." Tang Shuxing nodded, and the man only nodded expressionlessly, but he still couldn't help but be curious about the hooded man in front of him.
Wei Lifeng said to Wei Dasheng again: "Dasheng, you stay here." β
Wei Dasheng nodded and stood on Duan Hu's side.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Lifeng led Tang Shuxing to the rooftop, at this time, Tang Shuxing saw an old man with a cane from a distance, standing there looking into the distance, that is, the old man of Weimen, his name is actually Wei Boyang, in prison he once sued Tang Shuxing, this name is an alchemist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, his father gave him this name meaning, is to hope that Wei Boyang can follow the text, not to interfere in the gang struggle, who knows that it backfired, Wei Boyang laid his own piece of the sky in the Huaqing Gang, and created Weimen.
"Grandpa, I'm back." Wei Lifeng stood there.
Wei Boyang turned around, his eyes just looked at Wei Lifeng, and he didn't stop at Tang Shuxing, as if he didn't exist.
Wei Boyang nodded: "It's good to be back, it's better to be alive than anything else, you should rest well if you are injured, you don't have to come to see me." β
"Grandpa, that's right." Wei Lifeng looked at Tang Shu and said, "He is the friend who saved me, and he is also the disciple you accepted in China back then." It's called Tang Shuxing. β
Tang Shuxing stepped forward and was about to take off his mask, but he heard Wei Boyang say: "I didn't accept any disciples in the country, presumably he recognized the wrong person, I think you can bring him back, but also because he helped you, knowing kindness is what everyone should do, treat your friends well, I'm a little tired." β
Tang Shuxing and Wei Lifeng were very surprised. Wei Boyang was on crutches. Slowly walked past them, didn't raise his eyes to see Tang Shuxing, and then followed the bodyguard Duan Hu with the support of the bodyguard, and went downstairs back to the room.
Wait for Wei Boyang to leave. Wei Dasheng stood at the door and watched them. His face was full of doubt. Wei Lifeng pointed to the door, motioned for him to guard the door, and then beckoned Tang Shuxing to sit down on the rooftop. "How so?" he asked. β
Tang Shuxing shook his head and said nothing, he didn't know what was going on.
Wei Lifeng looked at the table again and said to himself: "I don't think you're lying, I know that my grandfather went to prison when he returned to China, although the time is very short, and there are many things that can not be found out by going out to inquire, but why did he say that he didn't accept disciples?" Pretending I don't know you? β
Thinking of this, Tang Shuxing squinted at the door, Wei Dasheng thought he was looking at him and pointed at himself, but Tang Shuxing didn't say anything, and then turned his head and said, "Let's still act according to the plan and dig out the inner ghost first." β
"Okay, that's the only way, but don't worry, grandpa won't admit it, there is me." Wei Lifeng comforted, "You've seen these people along the way, what do you think?" β
Tang Shuxing leaned back in his chair: "I have seen two important people, one is your grandfather, the other is your uncle Wei Wei, I heard Wei Dasheng say before, saying that your father originally sat in the position of the boss of Weimen, but your father was killed in prison, so he handed over Weimen to him to take care of, and not long after the old man returned to New York, he asked your uncle to hand over the power to you." β
Wei Lifeng immediately said, "You suspect my uncle? β
"Looking at it now, the only one who has a motive is him, of course, I'm just looking at the surface, and I don't suspect Cheng DΓΉ deeply, so don't care, don't show it." Tang Shuxing said in a low voice, "Also, I think it's unlikely that your grandfather won't use your uncle because he is a mixed-race child, right?" After all, it was your grandfather who married a gypsy girl, and he gave birth to him, no matter how he was his biological son. β
"Actually, my grandfather's favorite is my uncle, not my father." Wei Lifeng explained, "Uncle is indeed smarter, much smarter than me and my father, but Uncle can endure it, even if he has to fight and kill, he is also looking for the most capable person, solving it as quickly as possible, never procrastinating, and thinking of a way out." However, as you said, because he is not 100% Chinese, he was ostracized by the gang, and there is nothing grandpa can do about this, after all, rules are rules. β
Tang Shuxing nodded: "What about you?" I heard that you want to go on the right path. β
Wei Lifeng smiled bitterly: "I want to turn the gang into a company, so that the previous bosses become directors of the company, but it doesn't work, although grandpa didn't express his position, not to say support or opposition, but some of the other bosses are waiting and seeing, and some are directly opposed, you know, the underworld has been going on for too long, and I don't know how to live if I don't get out of the way." Now that the world has become like this again, I don't have to think about these things anymore, I just want to protect everyone's lives and survive in the troubled times. β
"By the way, there's something I've heard, as you confirm it." Tang Shuxing looked at Wei Lifeng and asked, "In the early years, I heard that the relationship between Hongmen and the Qinggang and the country was still good, have you ever been in contact with the Department of Ancient Science?" β
Wei Lifeng shook his head: "I really don't know, although I am the leader of Weimen, but the entire Huaqing Gang is not only one of us, but Weimen is the largest branch, but Hongmen is relatively better, more concentrated, and the so-called branches are not allowed to exist zΓ i, the implementation of the coexistence of the party and the hall, called the Zhi Gong Party, in the past many years, they basically do not ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and have more contact with the political circles, I estimate that even if there is contact, they are also them." β
"Understood." Tang Shuxing nodded, "You are not well yet, go to rest first, I will go back to find Qinghua by the way, if you are suitable, rearrange a place for us to live, settle us together, and put Wei Dasheng with us." β
Wei Lifeng subconsciously glanced at Wei Dasheng in the distance: "You still doubt him?" β
"Say so, don't be angry." Tang Shu said sternly, "Before that person is arrested, everyone is suspicious, including you and the old man." β
Wei Lifeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "I like people like you who are rigorous and don't think about complicated relationships. β
"You're wrong." Tang Shuxing shook his head, "If it weren't a troubled time, but many years ago, I wouldn't have taken such a method, but now, would it be useful to think about the status and relationships in the gang?" It's useless, because if you don't catch this person, sooner or later all the people in this gathering place will be doomed. β
"Okay." Wei Lifeng got up, "Let's go down first." β
Wei Lifeng led Tang Shuxing and Wei Dasheng downstairs, and after going downstairs and returning to the room, they found that Qinghua was missing, and the three of them were shocked, and immediately ran out and asked the bodyguards outside what was going on? In fact, what Tang Shuxing was most worried about was that Qinghua, this kid, ran away by himself!
The bodyguard just replied that the second master took Qinghua away, and the second master was referring to Wei Wei.
"Trouble!" Wei Lifeng immediately ran out, looked around, Tang Shuxing and Wei Dasheng also chased out, but it was very calm outside, and the only ones who seemed flustered were the three of them.
"Follow me!" Wei Lifeng turned around and entered the forest next to him, ran for a while, and came to a big tree in the forest, above the big tree was a tree house, there were three tree houses, connected to the other two trees, but the rope ladder that was originally placed there was gone.
"How about you climb trees?" Wei Lifeng asked Tang Shuxing.
"It used to be a weakness, but now it should be good." When Tang Shuxing was about to climb up with Wei Lifeng, the rope ladder was thrown down again and fell in front of them, and the two looked up and saw Wei Wei squatting on the top with a smile on his face.
Wei Wei squatted there and waved at them, motioning for them to go up.
Tang Shuxing and Wei Lifeng glanced at each other, Wei Lifeng left Wei Dasheng to guard, and he and Tang Shuxing climbed up the tree house.
Entering the tree house, the two saw Qinghua sitting in a regular manner on one side, and Wei Wei who was pouring wine next to him.
"In the whole gathering place, there are very few good wines, and many people make their own wine, or mix some ethanol as wine." Wei Wei handed over two glasses of amber whiskey, Tang Shuxing politely refused to say that he would not drink, and Wei Lifeng sat on one side with the glass, wanting to see what Wei Wei was going to do.
Wei Wei also sat down, motioned for Tang Shuxing to sit down as well, looked at Qinghua and said: "You leave him in the house, it's a trouble, people will say that our Wei Men is harboring a traitor, he is a traitor, this is something that no need to question." I think you must have your own reasons for taking the risk to bring him back, you can say it, you don't say it, it doesn't matter, it's just that what you do please don't involve Weimen, after all, the people in the gathering place are very sensitive, and it's almost winter, everyone is very uneasy, there is no heating fuel, no medicine, and if you don't freeze to death in winter, you will die of illness. β
"Second master, my purpose in keeping him is actually very simple, I hope he will come out and explain the matter of the new government, so that any other forces except the gangsters, including foreign races, can unite, even if they don't fight side by side, don't kill each other in the future, we have only one common enemy - Shangdu." Tang Shuxing sat there and said, "The new government is a puppet of Shangdu. β
Wei Wei nodded: "This brother's idea is very good, but now it is a troubled time, and the new government has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to drive all the people to live in big cities, build a separation wall, separate from the outside world, and those who don't want to go are hiding everywhere, and now there are many forces outside, no one knows, to unite, it is absolutely impossible." β
"I know that, but at least the big forces must unite, and isn't the Federation united with the vampire clan now?" Tang Shuxing said with a smile.
"Our alliance with the Night Clan was forced, and the most troublesome thing is that although there are not many of them, we have to find a way to provide blood to them, although it is not human, it is just other animals, but it is not easy to find it now." Wei Wei shook his head and said, "In addition to going out to hunt, we also have to catch live large animals and come back for them to suck them, after all, this is a mutual use, but I also think that is a problem of raising tigers." β
Tang Shuxing understood what Wei Wei meant, and simply asked directly: "I don't know what the second master has?" I'm listening. β
Wei Wei looked at Tang Shuxing and smiled. (To be continued......)
