Chapter 52: Chess pieces, dilemma

Chi Feng has not had a few days these days.

Every year in January, it is the time when the heads of the halls in Jiurongtai return to Yunling, on the surface it is just an ordinary gathering, but everyone knows that Jiurongtai has always had strict rules and clear rewards and punishments, and the halls in various places have been acting outside for a year. Getting together at the beginning of the year is nothing more than awarding awards or receiving punishments.

According to the annual practice of Jiurongtai, the second weekend after New Year's Day is the gang gathering, and before the party, you will receive a post from Yun Ling's side in the past, but this year's Chi Feng's post is different from others.

Everyone else arrives on Friday night and enters Jiurongtai on Saturday for dinner, but Chi Feng's post requires him to arrive on Wednesday, and a car will pick him up directly to see Guan Luo after he arrives. Superior subhepatic blood.

Chi Feng is not stupid, he knows that Guan Luo is going to move him this time, and he has repeatedly failed to go to Yunling according to the day of the post, one is afraid, and the other is that he wants to test Guan Luo's reaction, but he never expected it. On Thursday afternoon, Chi Feng suddenly received a call from Tengchong.

"Chi Ye. Oh no, the second wife has an accident! ”

Chi Feng only felt that his footsteps were in a trance, and by the time he arrived at Tengchong Hospital, it was already late.

The doctor stood at the door of the operating room and spoke to Fan Qingyan: "The patient was already seriously injured when he was sent over, sorry, we have done our best......"

Chi Feng rushed over in a few steps and grabbed the front of the doctor's coat: "What about the child?" What about the baby in her womb? ”

"Your Excellency didn't save it. The child naturally ...... too," the doctor didn't dare to say any more, and shook his head, "The family should prepare for the future!" ”

In one sentence, the "death penalty" was sentenced.

Chi Feng staggered into the operating room, Fan Lili was lying on the operating table, her face was sallow, her body was straight, the oxygen tube had been pulled out, the white cotton cloth was covered on her, and her lower abdomen was obviously bulging.

The obstetrician and gynecologist said that the fetus was seven months old and was developing well, and that the baby would be in labor in two months.

Chi Feng was nearly half a hundred years old before he looked forward to such a son, and he was very happy to have a son when he was old. But an accident was stillborn, which made him acceptable.

"How could the car suddenly rush down the slope?" Chi Feng asked Fan Qingyan who walked in in in a hoarse voice.

Fan Qingyan looked painful and explained: "It is said that the brakes failed, and my sister was originally going to come to the hospital for prenatal checkup today, but the car suddenly lost control when it was halfway up the mountain......

The brakes couldn't be stopped, and they rolled down the mountainside with people and cars.

Chi Feng gritted his teeth and swallowed all his sorrow, but his eyes fell on Fan Lili's arm that was exposed from the white cloth, and the arm was full of dried plasma, so that the gold-inlaid jade bracelet on his wrist looked particularly dazzling in a cloudy scarlet.

"Brother-in-law, this is an accident, you still have to mourn and change!" Fan Qingyan persuaded in a dumb voice.

The sorrow in Chi Feng's eyes shrank little by little, and finally all of them became a cloud of ruthlessness.

Huh, accident? How can he believe?

The news of the funeral in Yunnan soon spread to Yunling.

Guan Luo was also taken aback, he knew that Chi Feng had always wanted to have a son, so he finally asked for one. I didn't know that in the end, there were two deaths.

"Send someone to Yunnan to comfort me, no matter what, the deceased is the greatest, and let him come to Yunling after Chi Feng finishes Fan Lili's funeral." Guan Luo handed the newly written post to Ye Tan.

Ye Qin took it, and he was a little confused: "It's really... Why did a good person get into a car accident? ”

"It can only be said that fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, maybe the old man was right when he was alive, if you do too much injustice, there will be retribution!"

In the evening, Guan Luo found time to call Chi Feng in person, no matter what, Chi Feng is an elder in Jiurong Tai, and he also called him Uncle Feng, this bit of etiquette should still be there.

Chi Feng didn't speak much on the phone, and his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't make a dew.

Three days later, the funeral of the Chi family was completed, and Chi Feng specially erected a grave for his unborn son.

The annual banquet of Jiurongtai was also successfully eaten, and the directors of various places roughly reported the work of the year, and the rewards of those who received the rewards and the sins were considered stable, and there was no major event, and they returned to the hall of their subordinates two days later.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of January, and it was cold, and Yunling entered the middle of winter, cold and wet.

Lou Qingxiao's half leg hurt very badly in winter, and the problem left by the knife could only rely on painkillers to survive.

Helpless illness and torture, unable to sleep at night, her spirit is also declining, depression is aggravated, Lao Mai almost has to go to the villa two or three times a week, so every winter is also the most worrying day for Guan Luo, he is afraid that Lou Qingxiao will be in pain, afraid that Lou Qingxiao will be noisy, and he is afraid that she will not want to do stupid things.

A few years ago, she cut her pulse because of the onset of depression, but fortunately, Sister Xin found it early, and the rescue did not cause her life in time, so as soon as the winter passes, she will send more people to watch Lou Qingxiao in the villa, and she will try to find time to accompany her.

It's just that Guan Xiao's time at the villa is also limited, and Lao Mai said that Lou Qingxiao's depression seems to have serious signs.

Guan slightly didn't know the reason for her serious condition, thinking that he had too little time with her, so he was extremely guilty, but Lao Mai, who is a psychiatrist, didn't think so.

"Lao Jiu, listen to me, in the scope of our psychology, all psychiatric cases can be collectively referred to as psychological disorders, that is, the patient's cognition, emotion, will and behavior have lasting and obvious abnormalities, which are relieved by reliable drugs and external interventions, but the symptoms are not cured, and the patients need to cooperate and have cognitive changes to cure."

Lao Mai said a long list, and Guan Luo felt that he didn't understand a word: "Can you speak in the vernacular?" ”

“……”

Lao Mai frowned: "Okay, in fact, the reason is very simple, in layman's terms, heart disease also requires heart medicine!" You should actually know in your heart why Lou Qingxiao has depression, it's nothing more than that she still can't face the incident three years ago, plus her legs were amputated, and she locked herself at home all the year round and didn't dare to see anyone, but it's useless for you to spend time with her, it's useless for you to build her a golden house for her, you have to try to let her come out by herself, force her or persuade her, she can't hide in that villa all the time! ”

Lao Mai tried to persuade, but Guan Luo just shook his head, and his handsome eyes became colder and colder.

"Qingxiao has had a bad time in the past few years, and I am also responsible for what happened back then."

"Fart!" Lao Mai burst into a foul mouth, "Lao Jiu, you actually know in your heart that what happened back then has nothing to do with you at all, every day and fortune are all fateful things, it is you who blindly take all the responsibility on yourself, Lou Qingxiao has not dragged you down enough for so many years?" Is it because you generously admit that you really have to take care of her, or because of compassion and responsibility? ”

For the first time in so many years, Lao Mai went to pick the thorn in Guan Luo's heart, and only Lao Mai had the courage to pick the thorn in his heart in the entire Jiurong Terrace, but what if he did?

"I can tell you unequivocally that I have taken care of Qingxiao for so many years because of the relationship between me and her, as long as she wants, I can marry her tomorrow!"

"Is that what she has to do?" Lao Mai was not reconciled.

Guan Luo was determined: "Yes, she has to be!" ”

"Then what's going on with Tang Jingcheng? If you really have to her, how can you touch Tang Jingcheng? How could he testify in court for her? How could she go to Yunnan alone and turn off her mobile phone? ”

Lao Mai is determined not to give Guan any excuses and opportunities.

Guan Luo sat up from the chair and stepped on the cigarette in his hand: "As a psychiatrist who is Qingxiao, don't you feel that you are managing too much today?" After saying that, he lowered his hand and left.

Lao Mai was so angry that he kicked over the chair in front of him.

, he's full!

Guan Luo came out of Lao Mai's clinic, drove around the city aimlessly, and finally unknowingly arrived at the downstairs of Tang Jingcheng's apartment.

He sat in the car and looked up at the window on the top floor, which was pitch black and unlit.

They hadn't been in touch since they met at the door of Commander Nine that time, and it had been almost a month.

What did she do this month? Who have you seen? Has she met new friends, or to put it more bluntly, is there a new man around her?

Guan Luo felt that he was really worrying.

Lao Mai was not wrong at all, since Tang Jingcheng did not know the whereabouts of the Jade Qilin, then this woman had nothing to do with him, and her life or death was not his business.

Even if she is taken away by Su Hongzhi's people now, he has no position to interfere anymore!

Guan Luo smiled bitterly and rubbed his fingers, ready to turn the front of the car and leave, but the mobile phone rang, and the word "Sister Xin" flashed on the screen.

Guan Xiao couldn't help but be in a trance and answered the phone.

"Hey..."

"Hey sir, no, Miss Lou... Miss Lou she... Taken away! ”

Sister Xin was so anxious that she couldn't speak on the phone, and Guan Xiao drove back quickly.

"Miss Lou said you don't tonight... Didn't come back to have dinner with her, so she ate early... After eating, I felt that it was really boring to stay at home, so I asked the driver to drive us out... Just about... I happened to pass by a pharmacy, and Miss Lou said that she wanted to buy something... Originally, I was going to accompany her in, but she didn't agree, I had no choice, so I could only stand at the door and wait, and I didn't see her come out for a while, thinking that I had fallen, and went into the store to find her... But when you go in, you only see a wheelchair... Miss Lou has been... It's gone. ”

Sister Xin, who was trembling, explained that it took a long time to explain what had happened, and she was so panicked that she lost her opinion, and she looked for a long time in the pharmacy before she remembered to ask the cashier in the store, but the cashier said that she was busy checking out and didn't pay attention.

The cold light under Guan Luo's eyes gathered little by little, and Sister Xin was so frightened that she didn't even dare to tremble.

The air in the whole villa seemed to condense all at once, and an hour later, Ye Qin called: "Brother Jiu, I have already watched the surveillance video of the pharmacy, Sister Qingxiao was really stunned and taken away by someone next to the shelf, and the two men who took her away were neat and sharp, the whole process was only half a minute, and both of them were well disguised, wearing hats and masks, and the probe didn't shoot their faces, so I think... I think..."

Ye Qin paused before daring to say: "I think it should be done by a knowledgeable veteran!" ”

Guan slightly rubbed his fingers and stopped, his eyes like a blade but sinking like a deep pool.

"The annual banquet of the Jiurong Club has just been completed, and the person who dares to move me in Yunling is definitely not a gangster with an ordinary role."

"Brother Jiu, you mean suspicion... Our own people? ”

Guan Luo's eyes were cold.

Jiurong will seem to be harmonious and smooth on the surface, but after the annual banquet is completed every year, the punishment or reward, there are always people who break the ice and float, and there is an undercurrent inside, and Guan Luo's eyes can see it clearly.

It's just that this time he openly robbed Lou Qingxiao under his nose, and it seems that he came for him.

That night, the entire Jiurong Society was not stable, regardless of whether there was a ghost in their hearts or not, everyone seemed to be stepping on thin ice, for fear that they would be involved in this incident.

When the sky broke down, Guan Luo finally leaned back on the sofa and squinted for a while, but soon Ye Tan and Lao Mai arrived, and he rubbed his swollen temples and asked, "How is it?" ”

Ye Qin shook his head: "Brother Jiu, everyone at the bottom has gone to find it, and there is no news yet!" ”

"What about you?" Guan Luo turned to Lao Mai again.

Lao Mai sighed silently, the expression on his face was actually clear.

"Lao Jiu, don't worry too much, since the other party dares to kidnap Lou Qingxiao, he must use her to negotiate terms with you, and she shouldn't be in any danger for a while." Lao Mai's words are indeed reasonable, but these more than ten hours are already torment for Guan Liu.

He was sure that the other party must know that Lou Qingxiao was his weakness before he would attack her, but after he started, he didn't come to the news for a long time, which was obviously deliberately disintegrating Guan Liu's concentration and patience.

After waiting for a few more hours like this, it was almost noon when Guan Luo's mobile phone finally rang, and Lao Mai and Ye Tan both held their breath.

Guan glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, which showed a string of unfamiliar Yunling's local numbers, he took a slight breath and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, who's that?" The tone remains calm.

The other party laughed suddenly: "It is worthy of being the successor chosen by the old man, and you can still be so stable at this time." ”

Guan Luo had already heard the other party's voice, and then sneered: "Thank you, for sure, it's just that things have come to this point, and you and I don't have to talk about these false courtesies anymore, Uncle Feng, you might as well say it directly, what do you want me to do?" ”

Chi Feng was another string of laughter over there, brazen and wanton.

"Happy, talking to Xiao Jiu is effortless, but Uncle Feng rarely comes to Yunling, should you show your sincerity as a junior? You come to see me, and we meet face to face? ”

Guan glanced at Lao Mai standing opposite, who was winking at him and telling him "no" with his mouth!

Guan slightly lowered his head and smiled slightly sarcastically: "Uncle Feng, you are making a lot of trouble this time, if you want to see me, just say it directly, why bother to go to this point!" ”

"Then it depends on Xiao Jiu, how sincere you are. Since you have to get one corpse and two lives regardless of your feelings, then it is also moral for Uncle Feng to tie up your two women! ”

Guan Luo only felt his heart sink and stood up from the sofa all of a sudden.

"Chi Feng, what do you mean by that? You still tied up Tang Jingcheng? ”

Lao Mai and Ye Qin were also shocked when they heard the words "Tang Jingcheng".

Guan Luo couldn't hold his breath anymore.

"Hahaha......" Chi Feng's purpose had been achieved, and his voice on the phone suddenly became cold, "Guan Jiu, how is it?" Is there any sincerity to come to see me now? ”

Guan Luo tried to suppress the breath that was rushing up in his chest: "Okay, you tell me the address!" ”

"Building 07 of the Lotus Garden in the western suburbs, you come to see me alone, if you call the police or bring someone, you don't want to bring back any of these two women!"

……

Lotus Garden is an ecological residential area developed a few years ago, in the western suburbs, when the project was first launched, the publicity gimmick was very good, what is the ecological tranquility of the mountains and rivers, but the developer ran away in the middle of the construction of the house, and the contractor stopped work, so that area became a famous unfinished building area in Yunling.

The government can't manage it, and after a few years of abandonment, the unfinished buildings have all become barren mountains and lonely buildings that no one will go to.

Guan Luo drove alone, that piece is all ruins and rotten buildings, Building 07 is the innermost building in the community, there is no road for the car to go inside, there is sand and gravel and half-human high weeds everywhere, Guan Luo can only park the car at the entrance of the community and then walk over.

There were a few Chi Feng's subordinates standing downstairs, and when they saw Guan Luo coming, someone immediately stepped forward to search him.

Guan Luo was not stupid enough to bring a gun, and he didn't find anything, so two of them took Guan Luo upstairs.

There was definitely no elevator in the unfinished building, and as he went up the stairs one by one, Guan Luo's mind sank a little bit, until he reached the eleventh floor, and the person in front of him finally stopped.

"Go over, Chi Ye is waiting for you inside!"

Guan Luo stepped on the last staircase, turned the pillars, and the layout of the entire floor was in full view.

Because it is only a semi-finished product, there are no partition walls and fences, and the whole floor is transparent.

Chi Feng sat with his back lit, and a few attendants stood behind him.

Bang bang bang... Chi Feng on the chair couldn't help but applaud a few times when he saw Guan Luo coming over.

"Xiao Jiu, you are really infatuated, and you really came to see me alone for a woman!"

Guan Luo couldn't help but smile indifferently: "Uncle Feng's shelf is too big, I sent a post to invite Uncle Feng to come to Yunling, but Uncle Feng refused to come for a long time, now I have to make it like this, how can I not see you." ”

After hearing this, Chi Feng's face turned cold: "Don't mention the post to me, I just usually make some more money in private, and you really want to attack me!" ”

"That's the rules of the gang!" Guan Luo was not afraid at all, "The old man has already explained before his death that Jiurongtai can be fished out of the way, but nothing that touches the discipline is allowed to be touched, you have colluded with the Su family in Yunnan for smuggling over the years, from the rough stone to the timber business, you know how much you have fished back!" ”

"That's what I'm capable of, too!" Chi Feng seemed unwilling to admit that he violated the gang rules, "The older the old man gets, the more confused he becomes, and we are not allowed to get involved in pornography, gambling and drugs, but I can't follow him to be confused, there are still so many people waiting to eat under my hands, what can I do with just a few bathing hotels?" ”

It's still not enough to say that there are not enough of them, and human greed is always endless.

Guan Luo didn't want to argue with him about these things.

"Since I am sitting in this position now, I must deal with it according to the gang rules, no matter how big the mistake is, how to punish it, you can find it, if you feel unfair, you can bring it up at the table, there is no need to play these yin with me behind my back!"

"I'm playing yin? Guan Jiu, if you hadn't forced me, I would have come this far? Chi Feng also knew that his chess was already the last move, and in the future, it would either be a dead end, or it would be a bright and bright village.

"You sent me a post and ordered me to arrive in Yunling on Wednesday, I just dragged it out for a day, you can punish me, why bother to kill two corpses!" Chi Feng thought of the tragic image of Fan Lili lying on the operating table with a high lower abdomen, and he felt that he couldn't hold it down in his heart.

"I admit that my Chi Feng has been guilty of a lot of sins in this half of his life, I originally thought that he must be a child and a grandson, but I didn't expect Lili's stomach to be so competitive, I can still have a son when I am nearly fifty years old, but why the hell can't you see me well, don't you just delay it for a day? If you delay for a day, you will take my son under the knife? ”

Chi Feng said that there were already some tears in the back, after all, it was the pain of losing a child, like cutting the heart, but after the grief, there was only resentment.

Guan Luo thought about Chi Feng's words roughly on the spot, one corpse and two lives, it was impossible for him to do such a thing, but he also knew that Chi Feng would definitely not be able to listen to his own explanation when he was angry.

"Believe it or not, Fan Lili's death has nothing to do with me, maybe someone wants to take the opportunity to stir up the internal contradictions in Jiurongtai, or maybe it's really just an accident......"

"Fart!" Chi Feng didn't have the patience to let Guan Luo finish his words, "No executioner will admit that he killed the wrong person, but it doesn't matter, my son was stillborn before he died, and I must get this justice back for him no matter what." ”

After Chi Feng finished speaking, he made a face to the person next to him, and soon there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and several people escorted Lou Qingxiao and Tang Jingcheng down, both of them had their hands tied behind their backs, their mouths were stuffed with cloth, and their eyes were also covered with a black cloth.

Several people escorted them to Chi Feng.

"Untie the strips of cloth from their eyes!" Chi Feng gave the order, and immediately two of his subordinates walked over to untie the strips of cloth for them.

The sight that had been in the dark suddenly encountered a strong light, Lou Qingxiao and Tang Jingcheng subconsciously lowered their heads to avoid the light at the moment when the cloth was untied, and they slowed down for a few seconds before looking up, and the first thing they saw was naturally Guan Luo at the end of their sight.

Lou Qingxiao was not too shocked to see Guan Luo, after all, she was a special police officer before, she had robbed and slashed people, and she also knew Guan Luo's identity, so she was not too frightened when she was kidnapped here yesterday, because she knew that Guan Luo would definitely come to save her.

But Tang Jingcheng is different, she has never experienced such an occasion, she has been locked up in a small room upstairs alone since she was kidnapped last night, she has not seen anyone, and no one has revealed any news to her.

She didn't know who tied her, let alone the purpose of these people tying her, until the black cloth on her eyes was torn off, she regained her gaze, and when she saw Guan Luo, her heart seemed to have light again in an instant.

As she had said, when he came, her world lit up.

Guan Luo's calm gaze glanced at Tang Jingcheng and Lou Qingxiao's faces, and finally turned to Chi Feng.

"Hurry up, what do you want me to do?"

"It's easy, let's play a game!" Chi Feng had already recovered from the grief just now, and his cloudy eyes were filled with the ruthlessness washed away by hatred. He glanced at the subordinates next to him again, and two of them went over to bring Tang Jingcheng and Lou Qingxiao to the two bare pillars.

"Tie up the two hearts and livers of Brother Jiu for me!"

"Yes!"

He skillfully tied Tang Jingcheng and Lou Qingxiao to two side-by-side pillars, and the binding process went smoothly, and only the sound of the wind and the laborious drawstring were heard in the empty abandoned building.

Tang Jingcheng and Lou Qingxiao's faces were relatively calm, and they didn't cry or make trouble, so their courage made Chi Feng a little surprised.

Guan Luo's eyes were heavy, and he stood a few meters away from them, watching the two of them firmly tied to the pillar.

"Uncle Feng, what do you mean by that?"

"I just said, I want you to play a game with me!" As he spoke, Chi Feng took out his gun from his waist, loaded it, and slowly paced in front of the two pillars.

"The rules are simple, I only have one bullet in this. You made me lose a wife and a son, I am not as ruthless as you, I only need to take your life, that is to say, between these two women today you can only choose to save one, who stays who dies, you decide! ”
