It's hard to mix the rivers and lakes, and it's a morning lesson I learned when I was in an orphanage. However, there is a huge difference between a dragon and a snake in the end, and even if the real dragon succumbs to the nine abysses, when the time is met, there will be a day when it will take off for nine days. As for the snakes, they can only entrench themselves in the dark, in the company of the gallless rats, and finally die violently on the long street, and no one collects the corpses.

Hong Kong Island is the place with the highest concentration of Chinese gangs in the world, and it is the Pearl of the Orient, so it is natural that all gangs in the rivers and lakes covet it.

I believe that as long as you can gain a foothold on Hong Kong Island, you can go to any city in the world and open up a new world.

Meng Qiao lived in seclusion with me in Dunhuang, but his heart for dominating the rivers and lakes was endless, and he still followed the situation of the gangs on Hong Kong Island through various means of communication.

In her view, Dunhuang is just a temporary foothold for us, and after three or five years, it is the real destiny of the two of us to return to Hong Kong Island and once again ascend to the brightest center of the Chinese stage.

In fact, every tour guide running day and night for money, with different tour groups from all over the world repeatedly visiting the Mogao Grottoes, has become a heavy burden, not only is it fun to speak of, but also will suffer from disgust obsessive-compulsive disorder. I have seen with my own eyes that after some tour guides bring tourists into the Mogao Grottoes, they lean on the railings outside, listen to music and look at their mobile phones with expressionless faces, and put themselves in closed shells, completely isolated from the murals and culture of the Mogao Grottoes.

"It's a really hard job." I responded to him.

Lu Zhongguo slapped his thigh: "Yes, yes, if you don't say it, the tour guide is simply not a human job." I had already thought that after a few years to make a lot of money, I would quickly change careers and do some idle business. However, it's also difficult to do business, and it's not as good as my friends, who have no money all day long......"

I accidentally noticed a white Mitsubishi SUV in the rearview mirror, following our car not far away.

From the performance comparison of the two cars, the driver of the Mitsubishi car can easily overtake our car by simply pressing the accelerator. In this way, there must be something else in mind.

He was alert, and in the three minutes after I noticed a car was following, he looked up in the rearview mirror.

"Really...... What are you afraid of! His grandmother's, the Tank Gang, has a nose smarter than a coyote, why is he eyeing me again? What can I do? Bad things! He muttered twice and glanced at me, "Hey, if something happens later, you just sit honestly, lower your head and don't speak, others push you twice and scold you twice, don't fight back, do you understand?" ”

I nodded, silent.

Jianghu is a place where the weak eat the strong, and many times, a hard fist is a big brother. The common people can only turn to the yamen for help when they encounter problems, but most of the street fights are trivial, the people from the yamen have not arrived, and the people who caused the trouble have dispersed in a hurry, where can the people reason with them? Therefore, many times, ordinary people are more willing to swallow their anger, take a step back and open the sky, and eat a little dumb loss.

Lu Zhongguo's phone rang, he picked up the phone, and his tone became extremely humble: "Brother Leopard, what do you command?" Yes? Your car is in the back, okay, I'll pull over, pull over, right away, right away......"

He pulled over, immediately opened the door and went down, standing in the back of the car and waiting.

As the Mitsubishi approached, I looked back and saw that the windshield and the back of the mirrors were sprayed with the logo of a military tank.

"It's the Tank Gang." I understand.

Gangs in the rivers and lakes have existed since ancient times, and they don't care about good or evil, they are just spontaneous groups among the people. The word good and evil all lie in people's inner decisions, there are bad people in big gangs, and good people in small gangs, and that's it.

In my opinion, Lei Dongtian Thunderbolt Hall is a good gang, which never oppresses good people, does not get involved in the four sensitive industries of pornography, gambling, drugs and guns, only does legitimate business, and occasionally uses fists, also to protect the legitimate interests of its own church. It is a pity that in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, there are fewer and fewer good gangs similar to Peraktang, and there are more gangs between good and evil such as Heliansheng, Shuifang, Daquan, Prince Gang, Sanlian Gang, and the Blue Dragon Club, which make the government, the police, and the people change their colors, and spend a lot of police force every year to clean them up, causing a lot of news incidents of fighting and killing.

Speaking of the Tank Gang, this is a non-governmental group born out of the idle vagrants in the Gobi quarries, with no bad deeds or good deeds, and rarely appears in the police program intelligence records.

Their existence secretly influences certain things, but on the surface they are low-key and peaceful, and rarely harass ordinary people. In other words, as long as they make a move, they must have chosen the right target, attacking in a straight line like a tank in the army, and charging into battle.

The obvious symbol of the Tank Gang is the tank pattern sprayed on the Mitsubishi car, and the "Leopard Brother" called by Lu Zhongguo when he answered the phone is also the rumored No. 2 person in the Tank Gang, formerly known as Shishan, nicknamed Mountain Leopard, and his subordinates are respectfully called "Brother Leopard".

The door at the back of the Mitsubishi car opened, and someone stretched out his hand and carried Ryu Zhongguo into the car.

I watched quietly, not wanting to do anything unusual like calling the police. In broad daylight, it is impossible for the Tank Gang to kill people and cross goods, and with the level of loyalty to the country, it should not anger the Tank Gang and provoke the other party to kill the killer.

In my opinion, the law is only greedy for money, not a great traitor. Even if he targeted Gu Tingcheng for his abduction, his goal was just to defraud some information fees.

"Is Gu Tingcheng so easy to deceive?" I think of that javelin-like tall girl, just looking at her starry and radiant appearance, I know that it is not a fledgling chick, let alone a low-IQ beauty who is sinister and ignorant of the rivers and lakes.

Comparing her with Lu Zhongguo, it should be the latter who can be deceived.

There are few vehicles on the road, and two cars are parked on the side of the road, one in front of the other, without attracting anyone's attention.

I don't want to be involved in any vendetta incident, so that I will be interrogated and investigated by the police, and my previous history on Hong Kong Island will be pulled out.

Fortunately, five minutes later, Lu Zhongguo got out of the car and walked back to this side dejectedly.

After getting into the car, Lu Zhongguo did not drive immediately, but tilted his head, closed his eyes and was stunned for a while, and suddenly scolded a series of Dunhuang native swear words.

A man got out of the Mitsubishi car, walked up to the side of the road, and gently knocked on my window.

Lu Zhongguo was startled, and immediately pressed the button and lowered the window glass on my side.

"Brother Leopard, what else do you have to order?" He leaned over to me and looked at the muscular man outside the car.

The man's lips were thin, his eyes were sunken, and the skin on his face was yellow, as if he had been coated with a layer of wax.

"A painter?" He stared at me.

I nodded, looked at him, and then looked down, but I had already stuck his image in my mind.

"It's a good profession as a painter, paint well, but don't talk. Otherwise, your tricks (black words: eyes) will be useless, and you will not be able to draw anything. He said.

I nodded again and stopped looking up at him.

"Brother Leopard, we must listen to your orders, keep our mouths shut honestly, and don't say anything." Lu Zhongguo hurriedly said.

Brother Leopard sneered: "Lu Zhongguo, have you forgotten what I just said in the car?" We've never met, you don't know anything, and anything that happens to a tour group from Hong Kong Island has nothing to do with the Tank Gangs – right? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I haven't seen Brother Leopard, we haven't met." Lu Zhongguo changed his words and agreed repeatedly.

", I'll give you the money, and I'll divide the painter a little. The rules of the rivers and lakes are that everyone drinks water when there is water, and the water is wet over the ground. You know? Brother Leopard said.

"Okay, listen to Brother Leopard, I'll give, I'll give!" Lu Zhongguo agreed, took out two bundles of money from the left and right pockets of his coat, weighed it slightly, took a bundle, and threw it on my lap, "Ten thousand, the tea fee given by Brother Leopard." ”

Brother Leopard scolded: "Lu Zhongguo, you kid is greedy enough, give you 100,000, and you only take 10,000?" It's not righteous, is it? 40,000 yuan, all for the painter, and the remaining 60,000 yuan is enough for you to eat and drink for half a year. ”

Lu Zhongguo hesitated, clutched the remaining money and refused to let go.

I picked up the money from my lap, put it on the dashboard of the car, and whispered, "I don't want it." ”

Brother Leopard got into half of his body from the car window, snatched the money from Lu Zhongguo's hand, picked up the bundle on the dashboard, and stuffed it into my arms together.

"Take it, Brother Leopard gave it, no one dares to say a word." He said loudly.

Lu Zhongguo's face was trembling with flesh, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes...... Yes, yes, if Brother Leopard gives it, you will ...... You just take it, take it! ”

Taking the money was like cutting a large piece of flesh from him, and it made him shiver in pain.

I didn't refuse, I sat honestly.

"Let's go, the beauties from Hong Kong Island should be in a hurry." Brother Leopard retracted and slapped twice on the roof of the car, making two loud "bang" sounds.

Lu Zhongguo hurriedly started the car, said goodbye to Brother Leopard, and continued to drive on the road.

I pulled the money out of my bosom, opened the car's toolbox, and stuffed it all in.

For people like Lu Zhongguo, money is a good thing and the root of life, and whoever cuts off his wealth is like killing his parents. However, for me, money is just a number, a tool to walk the rivers and lakes.

"Mr. Long, this ...... What's so embarrassing about that? This is the money that Brother Leopard gave you? Lu Zhongguo was a little surprised.

"It's not mine, it's yours. He must have asked you to do something very difficult when he gave you so much money, right? I can't do anything, and of course I can't take money. I said sincerely.

Lu Zhongguo was overjoyed, after all, 40,000 yuan is not a small amount for a domestic tour guide, and in the Dunhuang real estate market, it is enough to buy a four-square-meter toilet.

"I'm ...... I'm sorry, Mr. Long, if you don't want this money, I'll keep it for the time being, but when Brother Leopard asks in the future, you have to-"

I interrupted him: "When asked, I said I spent it." ”

Lu Zhongguo laughed: "Okay, Mr. Long is on the road, it's really on the road, it's a little bit thorough, it's righteous enough!" ”

I didn't ask a word more, pretending to be indifferent to everything that had nothing to do with me, and waited for Lu Zhongguo to speak by himself.

Sure enough, within a minute, he was muttering to himself, "How do you say that? 100,000 yuan is a lot, and it was given by the tank gang for nothing, this is a big face for me to be loyal to the country, I should be content. However, they want to kidnap Miss Gu and ask the big boss on Hong Kong Island to pay a ransom to replace her, which will make a big fuss, and if you don't get it right, it will implicate me. 100,000 yuan, if I am implicated in prison, how can I spend these 100,000 yuan? Miss Gu is a good person, and she has promised to give me 3 million yuan for information - 100,000 to 3 million, and a fool knows how to choose. You're right? ”

I was a little surprised, but it was expected. Gangs like the Tank Gang only enter and exit most of the time, and it is impossible to throw out 100,000 yuan generously for no reason.
