There was a pink mist in the air.

The waiter in front staggered back to the kitchen, his face full of horror and staring at Chen Jun's back in disbelief.

The screams rang out in the dining room, like fireworks burning at a gala party, and the screams were always late.

Chen Jun wiped the fingerprints off the knife with a napple, threw both into the trash can at the door, and he took a few steps out to open the door.

Solozo's car was gone, and the driver was nowhere to be found.

At eight o'clock in the night of New York, the cold wind was howling and a little cold, Chen Jun took out a box of cigarettes in his arms and lit it, but did not smoke it.

As a doctor, he never liked to smoke.

It's just that in this era, with the unfading traces of the steel industrial revolution of the last century, brass street lamps, damp roads, graffiti on the streets, white slogans, old and new, restrained and free.

This style somewhat reminds him of the rituals of Western chivalry in the Middle Ages.

The cigarette is lit, and the white mist full of nicotine flavor wafts into the air, soft in various shapes.

The smoke burned fast in the cold wind.

"Boring fun!"

Chen Jun laughed secretly, extinguished the cigarette, felt a little cold, and shrunk his neck, on the way, because Sorozo changed his plan, Sonny and the people they sent did not follow here, he had to take a taxi to Corleone Manor in Long Beach.

By the time he saw them, Sonny was already furious, and he slapped the driver who was following Sorozo a few times, and the red mark was deep.

Tom Hagen remained silent and sat still in his chair.

Pushing open the door, I saw Chen Jun, Sonny, Hagen and others seeing him.

"Thank God, you're finally back, or I'd definitely have all my family go to hell."

"If they want war, I'll give them war!"

Sonny's tone was agitated, and it was a bear hug.

"I'm sorry!"

Strategist Tom Hagen stood beside him, "It's my responsibility to make a mistake in my plan this time. ”

"Nothing."

"I'm back, and Solozzo has identified the spy we've arranged, or your plan would have been perfect."

"Wrong is wrong, there is no reason to shirk!" Kurogen said stiffly.

Chen Jun didn't persuade him much, and Sonny and Hagen asked about what happened, and he told them everything that happened if he killed Sorozo and Sheriff McLawkey.

"You can kill Sorozzo without a gun, that's amazing."

"It's finally done."

Sonny in front of him was full of excitement and exclamation, and Tom Hagan, the military advisor in the back, sighed, "We should arrange a route for you to leave the United States now, if you want to go to that country, we will arrange it immediately!" ”

"No!"

"If you kill, you will kill, William is a hero, and all the godfather's subordinates will remember him, and he should not be sent away." Sunny defended Chen Jun.

"Yes, it's a big credit, it's Willian's chance to get on the throne, but now we have to wait."

Military advisor Tom Hagen said solemnly: "No one has ever been able to kill a New York sheriff and get away safely." The newspapers, the entire police station, the church, etc., will not let you go, and the pressure is unimaginable. ”

"Killing Sorozzo has cut off the huge source of interest for other families in New York, and now they will take the opportunity to unite, the Corleone family's current situation is difficult to suffer such a blow, William will find a joint pursuit of gangs and police across the United States."

"It's also difficult to keep him in our current situation, maybe he needs to hide for a while, and when the old man's injuries heal, the upper network of the Corleone family will be restored, and he will come back."

"Well, I know that."

"But it's not about leaving now, the current situation, I want to do my part for the Corleone family to leave."

Chen Jun said calmly: "In a few days, you can start arranging a route to Germany for me, there is business I want to do there!" ”

Choosing to agree to kill Sorozo, Chen Jun was ready to leave the United States like the original Mike, but he decided to help the family do something before leaving, as for Mike's return to his ancestral land of Sicily for a trial, he wanted to do some business in Germany.

Now that World War II has been defeated and Germany's countless national assets have been divided, it may not be impossible to take advantage of his prophetic advantage and the power of the Corleone family.

The three holes of the cunning rabbit do not necessarily have to nest in the United States.

Sonny: "We don't have to leave, we can try to go to war, we're not afraid of anyone." ”

"Oh God!" Hagen looked at the calm Chen Jun, swept Sonny who was clenched into a fist again, and raised his voice:

"You figure out the situation, now we are already at war, it is a real all-out war, and when we kill Sorozo, the war has already begun, and there is no threat in your words."

"The other families in New York have lost their drug benefits because of Sorozo, and they will join forces to ask our Corleone family for their back."

"The Corleone family is taking a step back is the abyss, it is watching us, we have to think about how to break the game now!"

Chen Jun nodded slightly in his heart, Heigen saw through half of the essence of the problem, but he didn't see through all of it.

The Five Families will lose their drug benefits because of Sorozo, but they want the Godfather's dominance over the gangs in the United States, and more.

"Sonny." Chen Jun patted him on the shoulder and smiled:

"Now in a critical moment, as members of the Corleone family, we have a different division of labor, and I have my job."

"Don't cause bloodshed for me, Hagen is right, in this situation, the five major families are bound to unite, and those political enemies at the top of the godfather will also attack us."

"During the period when the old man is healed, the Corleone family will be very difficult, and we are not afraid of the confrontation between the gangs, but we must be worried about the methods of the upper echelons of the godfather."

"Those people are more threatening than ten gangs, and the attack on the Godfather dooms his former partners to be in a wait-and-see mode, so the most important thing we should do now is to deter the enemies at the top, and then shrink the power of the Corleone family, and finally we can better exert our strength."

Although Sonny is a little reckless in his temper, he is not stupid, and his face becomes more and more solemn as he listens to Chen Jun and Heigen's analysis.

"Do you have a way?"

Kuraken's eyes lit up, and he could vaguely see some thoughts from these words, "The threat from above is what worries me the most, those people just want to hide the king cobra in the dark, which usually looks harmless, but when you show fatigue, it is deadly and greedy." ”

"I said we have different divisions of labor, and I need your help!" Chen Junjian said.

"You say!"

Hagen and Sonny replied almost in unison.

"First of all, the first joint threat from other families, only Sonny can deal with it, only you can control the godfather's Clemenza, Thesio, during this time, I want us to maintain a defensive offensive state."

"Once several major families join forces to start a war, we can give up some bookkeeping points [betting points], docks and other forces if necessary, but at the same time, we must give them a huge blow, exchange profits for time, and let them know the pain!"

"Be careful, don't take the plunge, don't overdo it!"

Sonny nodded quietly, "I will hand over the corresponding interests, forces, etc. to you." ”

"The second comes from the invisible enemies, I hope Hagen you can go into the hospital and ask the old man, and ask him to draw up a list, this list must include people who can help us, if not, then there must be a list of his enemies, and the evils he controls."

"I'm going to send them all to my newspaper, and it should deter them."

"Send incriminating evidence to your newspaper? Otherwise, if we buy a few newspapers, this will not be a problem, "Daily Headlines" is your brainchild, and it cannot be easily destroyed. Sonny said.

"It's useless."

Chen Jun shook his head, "A local-level newspaper, compared with a giant newspaper that radiates all over the United States, there are a lot of things involved and contained in it, and they will understand it." ”

"If it's destroyed, it's ruined, don't use it now, so when will it wait?"

"Listen to him, this influence can make many people jealous!" Hagen said silently, "But why should I ask, the godfather is about to have a second operation, and you can also achieve the goal by asking." ”

"My exposure to this has violated the principles he has always guarded."

Chen Jun said quietly: "He will not be disappointed in me, but he feels guilty of himself, so hide it from him, and when I leave, it will not be too late to tell him after he recovers." ”

Both Sonny and Hagen fell silent.

In the past, the office would be filled with the godfather's guests and friends, but now there are only three of them in this old office.

**

Night, 5 a.m.

The entire Corleone Manor fell silent, and behind Chen Jun were the papers sent by Sonny and Hagen, piled up in a small mountain and placed on the office table.

He rubbed his eyes, rested for a while, walked to the window, and watched silently as the silver glow outside sprinkled on the grass, the morning dew was slightly cool.

Outside the window, several gunshots seemed to sound in the noisy bar, the empty road bombs exploded, the blood on the uninhabited dock ground dried slightly, and the calm sea rippled....

At this time, I don't know how many people in New York have no one to sleep.

At this time, the world outside the window was already surging, and black clouds were overwhelming.

What should he do now?

Storm the tide?

Will the building fall?

Or is it brazenly turning the sky and mending the cracks?

The above Chen Jun asked himself if he was worthy in his heart, the old godfather Vito Corleone did not die, as long as he did not die, he helped the family resist half of the attack.

What's going on with the Corleone family now?

Internal and external troubles!

There are two major external problems, 1: New York's major overlord-level families have joined forces to attack the Corleone family, and Sorozo's death is an opportunity; 2: The old godfather brought the surname Corleone to glory in his life, and in the process of becoming Don, he networked a large number of upper-level networks, but at the same time, he also offended countless people, and now they will definitely not let go of this excellent opportunity.

Internal worries: The old godfather is getting old, but he has been slow to establish a new king, who does it mean at all?

is a brave and unparalleled, but reckless and irritable boss Sonny. Corleone, who was promoted by his godfather at a young age and has been teased at in the Corleone family, has been teased by the godson of the Irish gang leader Tom Anderson. Hagen, or the youngest son William, who has recently risen strongly. Corleone.

Not only that, the two major corps commanders of the Corleone family, Clemenza and Thesio, have most of the force under the godfather, and the old godfather is currently critically ill, who can guarantee loyalty?

As the night faded, Chen Jun's eyes flickered.

He really admires people like Godfather, his personality is infinitely charming, this situation is put in that power scheme, taking a step back is to fall into the abyss, but in the Corleone family, this step is now deadly and dead.

Sonny loves his loved ones, and like his godfather, he puts his family first over the power he desires, and so does Hagen, who has always positioned himself as an advisor to the Corleone family.

Chen Jun can not do much, only to unite the two, use Sonny to suppress internal troubles, fight against the major families, use black roots to balance external strife, and connect connectable characters.

Under the trust of Sonny Hagen, he sat in the center and carried out the first comprehensive dispatch operation of the Corleone family.

This was supposed to be the godfather's power, Sonny trusted him and gave him this cheap brother, and Hagen trusted him and gave him this rival.

When Sonny and Hagen handed over the papers, he had the privilege of getting his first glimpse of the tip of the Corleone Empire.

It was also the first time he had intervened in the core affairs of the Corleone family, but it was shocking enough.

Call~

Chen Jun let out a long breath.

In his position, he carefully studied the list that Hagen had asked for from his godfather, and after half an hour, he dialed the phone.

Opposite, in one of the more luxurious buildings in Los Angeles' Chinatown.

Wilde put his arms around his wife, Jasmine Wang, who is the vice president of the Daily Headlines newspaper and his wife is the head of the advertising department.

When the bell rang, Wilde jumped up instantly, and Wang Jasmine was also alarmed, and when she heard the bell, she suddenly lost her sleep.

The two looked at each other, Wilde couldn't get through it, and finally picked up the phone, and a cold voice came from there: "Take the paper, take the pen." ”

"I say, you remember!"

Wilde was in a cold sweat, and Wang Jasmine helped her husband bring pen and paper.

When the first name was spit out from the other side, Wilde couldn't hold it steadily, and the pen scratched the page.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Listening to the slow narration on the other side, Wilde's pen became more and more stable, and finally the book filled a full ten pages.

The other side still didn't hang up the phone, and said some inconsequential words, "In a few days, there will be a 20% equity transfer letter to you, and there are bodyguards, don't worry!" ”

The phone hung up, and Wilde stared blankly at the notebook, the words like thunder.

"What's wrong with you, old man?" Wang Jasmine was stunned when she saw her husband, "Look stupid, scared?" ”

"Sort of." Wilde smiled, and then let out a long sigh:

"The ancients said:

The horses of tigers and leopards are unwritten, but have the smell of eating cattle; The eagle of the bird is not fully fledged, but has the heart of the four seas; ”

"Judging from today's words, it should be true!"

Wang Jasmine gave him a blank look, "If someone gives you equity, you will blow him and give him his life, tsk!" Why didn't you see what you did before? ”

Wilde ignored his wife's banter and said with a straight face: "He told me part of the plan." ”

Wang Jasmine also stopped laughing, "Do you think they can win?" ”

"It's hard to say whether you win or not, but this hurdle should be passable." Wilde pouted, "Don't pick up the shares for nothing, don't want to drink tomorrow with a few brothers from Hongmen." ”

Wang Jasmine understood her husband's ambitious character, and without persuasion, the two woke up without sleep, and the curtains outside the window were slightly lifted.

"The wind is blowing!"
