Chapter 22: The Story of the Bearded Man

The prison was once again as dead silent as ever, and the bearded man lying not far away slowly came over at this moment, "Hey, little ghost, I see that you are a very contradictory person in your heart!" ”

"Yes?"

"Yes, at least you can give up the principles you adhere to for the sake of others!"

"I guess that's the power of family affection!" Chris sighed.

"Oops! Sometimes I envy you who have families, and I've been alone since I was born, and the only thing in my life dictionary is survival! The bearded man sighed.

Chris looked at the bearded face in front of him and became mild and nostalgic, and even felt that the beard's heart was not as unforgivable as he imagined, at least, the bearded man still had the purest kindness hidden in his heart. "I was born in an orphanage, my parents may have died in the war, and when I was sensible, the only friend I made was the man named Trist. In fact, many times the orphanage is not as warm and harmonious as imagined, it is full of dirt and despicability. Older children will always call us around like animals, and you know the most terrible thing for a child is not having a real innocence. At that time, the two of us also completely lost the only warmth in our hearts. The two of us mercilessly picked up a knife and stabbed the older child who bullied us to death, and no one in the orphanage dared to do anything to us. However, our hearts become more uneasy, the knife lying in our arms all the time provides us with the last shred of security, we are afraid that in the middle of the night someone will suddenly cut off our heads, even in our sleep, we dare not let our guard down. ”

Chris looked at the bearded man and said softly, "I think it's really become insensitive to live in a world like this!" ”

The bearded man glanced at Chris and said, "We couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, and then we escaped from the orphanage and started living on the streets. We quickly learned to cheat and cheat, and with this hand we got mixed up in the casino, and gradually we all became famous, and we slowly became the leading figures in the gang by stepping on the bones of the blood stained by the killing. Later we joined the mafia, and soon the two of us became big stars around the old godfather Leon. The bearded man suddenly paused and sighed, "If it weren't for such a person, I think he and I would still be good brothers in life and death, but everything has completely changed after Evelyn's appearance!" ”

Chris frowned slightly and looked at the bearded man with a look of chagrin, "I think this girl may have produced a lot of stories between the two of you!" ”

"Yes, many stories have been generated! She is the daughter of the old godfather Leon, and she is a bewitching purple rose in the gangster, no man can resist the magic emanating from this woman, I think even if you see her, you will be electrocuted by her graceful figure and the eyes of the fairy. For a young man with strong blood, such a beauty is even more irresistible, not to mention that marrying her can officially become the next successor of the gangster godfather? I frantically began to pursue Evelyn, and by that time I was so immersed in the world of love that I was dazed, unaware that my good brother was planning a conspiracy at the moment. The bearded man began to get emotional.

"Early that morning I received a confidential call from the old godfather asking me to go to his study, and I felt strange at that time, and my eyelids jumped several times involuntarily. I thought to myself, "Could it be that Godfather Leon is going to choose me to be his Chen Long's son-in-law!" I hurried to his study, and it was a terrible day, with icy rain outside, and the whole day was overcast like a dead man. When I arrived at the old godfather's house, I always felt as if something was going to happen. The guards outside the door saw me coming, and quickly urged me to go up, and I didn't have time to think about it, but I knew that the eyes of the guards at that time always gave me a strange feeling. I knocked politely on the door only to find that the godfather's door was open, and I didn't think much about walking in directly, the godfather sat motionless in the chair with his back to me, and I whispered, "Godfather! He turned his back to me as if he hadn't heard, and I raised the decibel level and shouted, "Godfather, you're looking for me!" He was still resting in his chair, and I seemed to realize what was going on. I quickly stepped forward and turned the chair around, and I was stunned, for he had a steel knife stuck in his chest at the moment, and that knife was the same knife that I had been hiding with me. I finally understood all the connections, and then there seemed to be a sound of footsteps, as if the movie had been choreographed, and I saw Trist and Evelyn walk in, and they looked at me curiously, "Why are you here?" Trist glanced at the godfather with a pretended concern, "Oh! Godfather" Evelyn also turned to his voice, she looked at her father who was lying in a pool of blood with a look of horror, tears welling up in her eyes, "No! Father! She quickly rushed over and hugged the old godfather's body, I hoped that the old godfather would get up and say that the murderer was not me, but what was waiting was Evelyn's heartbroken and hateful expression, she held the knife in the old godfather's arms and looked at me coldly, "Why! Why! ”

I felt my world fall into the deepest abyss again, and Trist finally calmed down as if he had already thought of his lines, "Graves, the old godfather is ready to hand over his place to you soon, you bloodthirsty demon, you godfather who will not even let go of the godfather who pulled you by hand!" He drew his gun and pointed it at me, and the people who came in around him quickly drew their guns, and the brothers who had followed me were now as cold as the muzzles of the guns. I could be dismissive of those people, but I didn't expect Trist to do this to me, "Why did you do this? I asked.

Trist didn't dare to look me in the eye, "I don't know what you're talking about!" ”

Evelyn had fainted due to excessive grief, and was quickly carried out by a group of people, leaving Trist and I in the room to confront each other coldly, I didn't make any movements, still looking at this brother who was born and died with the most painful smile, "Is it for the position of godfather?" ”

He smiled slightly, "I think it's more than that!" ”

I seemed to finally understand his purpose, he smiled and hugged me, I didn't have the slightest extra movement, my body seemed to be struck by lightning in despair, I didn't even know he was still functioning. He leaned into my ear and whispered, "Greyfus, we have too many similarities, I stand behind me and look at you as if you are living in your shadow, and the last thing I can see is that Evelyn is with you, I fell in love with her at first sight, how do you know that I am already in love with her?" Trist said as he shook the ring on his ring finger, and I realized why Evelyn had one ring on her hand that she never took off. Trist continued coldly, "You arrogant and empty-eyed person want to snatch her away from me, I don't think I can stop there, I can't lose her!" I know you too well, so I've carefully set up this bureau for you, so go to prison for the rest of your life in peace! I won't kill you, I want you to reflect on yourself in pain for the rest of your life! Trist smiled and let go of my neck, I only felt that my heart had been completely cut by the knife of friendship!
