While everyone was reveling in the singing, the girl pulled a pistol from her waist and aimed it at Rick, and before anyone could figure out what was going on, the gun went off, and the girl quickly pulled the trigger.

Luffy found out something was wrong at the first time, and directly pounced and knocked down Rick, Rick was stopped by Luffy by the neck and fell to the ground, all the bullets flew into the air, and shot into the floor where Rick was, turning into small circular holes, and the female employees were so frightened that they ran around, screaming one after another, and the scene fell into chaos for a while. After the girl found out that the first attack failed, she immediately re-aimed at Rick, Rick also reacted from the confusion at this time, quickly and flexibly moved, rolling in snakeskin on the ground, Rick's brothers also had the courage to explode at this time, facing the cold muzzle, and rushed to the stage, because the table was very close to the stage, plus everyone was in an explosive state, the girl was quickly subdued, and Rick also escaped from the thrill.

An attack was short and exciting, the cute girl's gun was snatched away, three or four brothers pressed her, and pressed her to the ground, not to mention, Rick felt the fearlessness of his friend for the first time, facing the black muzzle, directly pressed over, without a little courage is impossible to do. But why was the good self assassinated?

Rick stepped forward and looked at the girl whose face was tightly pressed to the ground, and couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart, how did such a good girl become a ruthless killer?

Rick crouched down, "Who told you to kill me?" Rick's voice became cold, revealing a kingly demeanor, and the domineering spirit was immediately released from Rick's body, at this moment, the seriousness on Rick's face, as well as the instantaneous change in temperament, made the air around him drop a few degrees, and everyone present felt Rick's indifference, and his acting skills exploded, which was a performance of a mature man's rebirth.

The girl's lips were tightly closed, and her eyes were staring, as if she wanted to use her eyes to complete the failed assassination mission just now.

"We're all just ordinary people, why are you killing me? What's in it for you? Or who sent you or forced you to do it? Rick's eyes stared at the girl, and the girl stared at Rick, and the battle between the two eyes made the atmosphere a little colder.

Rick stood up and looked back at the frightened female employees behind him, "Get them out." Rick ordered. Several brothers immediately kicked everyone except for the subdued female employee out of the luxurious hall, in order to ensure the safety of themselves and the people around them, it doesn't seem to be too much to do this, itself is to invite them to eat, drink and have fun for free, but I didn't expect that there were still people who wanted to take the opportunity to do themselves, who dared to guarantee that there was no second hidden killer. A good party was made like this, and it shouldn't be these female employees who were kicked out, but Rick who stared at the ceiling with a blank face.

Rick walked up to the second floor of the hall alone, the second floor was completely enclosed, there was not a single window or door on the second floor, only the stage below could be seen, and it was relatively safe here, so there was no need to worry about anyone else outside. After thinking for a moment, Rick still dialed Mike's phone, this is not a trivial matter, his life is in danger today, this should be worth paying attention to.

After Mike connects, Rick explains the whole thing to Mike on the phone.

Mike said, "Don't look at the superficial things, you should think about who will be in the best interest if this thing is successful?" ”

Rick thought about it, if he died, then the business of the Lilian family would definitely be handed over to someone else, which meant that this person would be the patriarch of the next family, and there would be more people who wanted to be the patriarch, but it was worth making a big move to do it yourself, and there was hope to cover up the traces and successfully lead the Lilian family, who would be such a person?

Forest? Rick is a little unconvinced, even if Lin has the intention of rebellion, he will not do it to himself immediately, which will only make him quickly show his feet, and he will take over the affairs of the Colvin family, not many people should know, and a few of Mike's henchmen may see that there should be very few people who know, so the scope will be much narrower, so as long as Lin's essence is exposed, Mike has every reason to order others to kill Lin, he will definitely not be so stupid. So who else would there be? Now Lillian is the nominal successor of the family, and whoever gets Lillian gets the whole family, and Rick feels that this should be downwards.

Excluding the people around Mike, Rick looked at the friends below who were keeping an eye on the movement around him, it would definitely not be these friends, they all only learned that they had mixed up today, they had no reason to kill themselves at all, and there was no chance, no one could buy a person in a short period of time under the eyes of himself and other friends.

Mike asked Rick where he was, and told Rick to stay where he was, Rick naturally wouldn't go out, and now this hall is the safest place, and there will be other people out of this hall, and the hell knows if someone will be shooting him in secret.

As the minutes ticked by, the girl seemed to loosen up a little, and Rick went downstairs to see that the girl's tears kept falling, none of the friends made a sound, they all remained silent, and the hall was very quiet.

Strangely, Rick never heard the sound he had guessed in his heart, and the female employees who were kicked out didn't call the police? Why is that? Do they think they have a grievance and refuse to report it to the police, or are they worried about something?

It wasn't until Mike came over that there was no siren outside, there was a knock on the hall door, and the friends immediately became nervous, and several friends picked up the items around them as weapons, and Rick's cell phone rang, "It's me, open the door." ”

Rick opened the door, a group of black-clad bodyguards with Thomson submachine guns walked in, Mike walked in front, Rick took a look, and found that Mike did not call the most loyal personal bodyguard Lin on this trip, it seems that Mike is already very uneasy about him.

Mike came to the girl's side and looked at the girl a few times, five or six black-clothed bodyguards with real guys behind Mike, not only the girl, but even the four Rick's friends who pressed the girl were trembling, this is the underworld of country M! Except for the underworld, who goes out with a large group of bodyguards with submachine guns? Luffy also changed his opinion of Rick, but he didn't expect Rick to read books, and he mixed up with society while reading, and it seemed that he was mixing well, and this battle was not comparable to few underworld organizations in the country.

Mike sat down at the table, and Rick stood beside Mike with a ruthless expression, the scene was still silent, so quiet that even the girl's sobs could be heard.

"It's up to you to decide what to do, and whatever option you choose, we'll handle it perfectly." After another two minutes, Mike spoke, which clearly meant that if you killed her, Mike would have enough strength to deal with the aftermath.

Rick uttered a result that surprised everyone present, "Let her go." Rick's tone of voice was so calm and calm, and his expression was so serious, that Rick didn't even blink his eyes when he said these four words. Even the sobbing girl stopped whimpering stuck in her throat.

"Yes, but you are responsible for everything you do." Mike said.

"Let her go." Rick said it again.

After Rick finished speaking, he let go of the girl's friends, they listened to Rick's words, people who really know how to do things, they shouldn't wait for the eldest brother to say it to the younger brother for the third time, let them let go, it's not so easy to be the little brother, you also need to observe words and looks, and see who is the big guy on the field.

The girl was still in a half-kneeling position, and did not seem to have accepted the consequences of her release.

"You go, I won't kill you." Rick looked at the girl and said calmly, this time Rick's eyes were full of tenderness, and he seemed to have completely forgotten how resolutely she held a gun at herself and shot without even thinking about it.

The girl stood up and came to Rick's side, and Mike's bodyguards were all pointing guns at her, afraid that she would attack the two of them.

The girl threw herself down at Rick's feet, "Save my family, they're now being arrested by the police for a non-existent crime." ”

Rick glanced at Mike, and sure enough, there was a special plane, and it didn't seem to be as simple as it seemed.

"Tell me about your situation and don't ignore a single detail." Rick said as he pulled the girl off the ground and sat her in a chair.

"At two o'clock in the afternoon, I got a phone call, from the police station, and they said that my parents and my brother were arrested because they were smuggling, drug trafficking, which was non-existent, and my family had never done anything like that. They asked me to cooperate in one thing, so they agreed to release them, they asked me to go to the hot spring club opposite the hotel to meet someone, and they gave me a room number. After the call, I called my family and found that their number really couldn't get through, so I had no choice but to do what they wanted, and when I arrived, I saw a man wearing a mask, he gave me a gun, and asked me to shoot you five times while serving, otherwise, my family would be executed immediately because of the seriousness of the crime, and the man claimed that as long as I kill you, one of them will go to the police station and turn himself in, and resist all the charges, Our family can still live in Xiami as before, as if nothing had happened. So, so I took the man's gun. The girl said.

Rick took out a cigar from the table, lit it and took a hard puff, this was the first time Rick had smoked this kind of thing, and Rick didn't know why, and suddenly wanted to order one of these things to release his mood. Rick was holding a cigarette in his right hand, and his face was extremely cold, which made his friends very scared, "You mean the call is from the police station?" Rick looked at the girl with straight eyes, which made the girl feel a little frightened.

"Yes, the number is 911, I can show you the call logs." As she spoke, the girl was about to touch her phone, but Mike's bodyguard immediately rushed up and grabbed the girl's arm, and the girl was startled by this sudden scene.

Rick waved his hand and motioned for Mike's bodyguard to step down, and Mike's bodyguard let go of the girl's arm.

The girl took out her phone, quickly opened the call page, and showed Rick a call with 911 at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the call lasted eight minutes.

This matter is tricky, and if the person who wants to assassinate himself is in collusion with the police, then the matter becomes much more complicated.

"Did they tell you what to do after a successful assassination?" Rick asked again, this is also a key, there is always action after the success of the assassination, it will not just make people swagger out!

"They said that as long as you see the police car, it means that the thing has been successful, but I failed, and they didn't say what to do after the assassination, they just told me to do it, and when I was done, I went home and waited for it to be over." The girl's tears began to fall, "My family's lives may be in danger. ”

Rick looked at Mike, this matter really can't help, he is the underworld, he can't rush into the police station with guns to save the girl's family! What's more, there is more than one police station in Xiami, and there are more than a dozen sub-bureaus, who knows where her parents are locked up.

"In this case, you go with us first, otherwise your life will be in danger, as long as you ensure your safety, I am sure they will not do anything to your father." Rick says that now that the girl is the key to the matter, it is necessary to keep the girl safe in order to find out who is behind it.

The girl's tears fell, "Thank you, thank you really!" "Thank you from the bottom of your heart.

"It's not too early, let's go, if the police come, we'll be in trouble." Mike said.

There are also a few bodyguards outside, who are paying attention to the movements outside, and in case there is a note (a contemptuous name for the police in the underworld), they must report in advance.

"Let's go." Rick looked at his friends, all of whom were excited. Fortunately, no one backed down at this time and wanted to quit Rick's business.

There were four black off-road vehicles parked outside, and Mike brought fourteen bodyguards this time, and he didn't drive so many cars, so he reduced his eyeballs and kept a low profile.

Rick had the brothers follow Mike's in the three cars they had rented from town, and the convoy was now distributed in this pattern, with two SUVs in front, three inconspicuous cars from the Rick brothers in the middle, and two SUVs in the back. Rick wasn't sitting with his brothers, Rick was in Mike's car.

"To be honest, your choice was a bit of a surprise to me." "But everybody has their own style and their own way of doing things, and like me, I might be able to get the information I want in a way that's not very urbane, and that's my way of leading." But by doing so, it's easy for your subordinates to think that you're a good talker and easy to be betrayed. ”

Rick looked out the window at the bright lights of Shrimp City, "I can forgive my enemies because they are my enemies, but the men who betrayed me can't forgive because they are my men." Betrayal will never be tolerated. ”

"But by doing so, you are declaring to your men that you can forgive someone who wants to kill you, and that they deserve your forgiveness for anything they have done wrong."

"I will turn my own laws into written family rules, we do things according to the rules, just like the customary law of the ancient Romans and the twelve bronze table law, the customary law can be interpreted at will, but the written twelve bronze table law is a kind of express provisions, it can be deeply engraved in people's hearts, our family has always been in accordance with the hierarchical management relationship, which is easy to make a line of people collectively rebel, and I think according to the modern enterprise or the current military management methods, we want to set up a strict family law for the family, The patriarch is free to exempt enemies who are not outside the family, and everyone in the family must be dealt with strictly according to the family law. Rick said.

"We are really old, the Eastern civilization has given us a lot of lessons and experiences in the way of emperors, but I don't have the opportunity to learn, and now it seems that the family can let you take over, it is really a blessing. Our minds have been decoupled, and I have become accustomed to violence to solve problems, but now it seems that it is no longer suitable for the development of this era. Mike sighed.

"No, I don't think so, at any time, violence can still effectively solve problems, human nature is a complex problem, for those who have lost their humanity, we must use violence to solve violence. Why is there still a death penalty in the current law? Why not strengthen the ideological education, this is a person has too many crimes, and the probation of human nature is hopeless for him, so the death penalty is also a kind of violence, but the executor of this violence, that is, the government, is a rationalized group recognized by the public, which is the reality of countering violence with violence. Rick confided his thoughts, and Rick is now thankful for the books he has read, which have taught Rick a lot of truths, especially the books of the East, which can raise people's thoughts and realms to a higher level.

"I really didn't look at the wrong person, your level of understanding of leadership may be deeper than mine, I may have been worse than you in terms of leadership, and now what you have to improve is your own vision and your own choices. You think about the problem, you must think about it comprehensively, every decision you make is linked to the fate of the family, start from the whole, fully consider the factors of each part, moreover, each of us is not a saint, even if you are wise, there will be a day when you make mistakes, you must have your own counselor, he may often disagree with you, but this is a better way for you to think about the pros and cons of your decision. ”
