Chapter 703: Ranked fourth
With a solemn expression, I stared at this old man who was in serious poor health, and asked again: "Where is Uncle Seven?" Who are you, why are you pretending to be Uncle Seven and asking me to come and meet. "I've figured out what's going on, these people must all be from the Seventh Uncle's forces, otherwise they wouldn't all be dressed exactly like those at the beginning.
However, they belong to the same force, but they do not necessarily belong to the same small force. Among the big forces, there are many small forces, and these people are obviously not the seventh uncle's subordinates. Their boss should be the old man sitting in front of me, maybe he, like Uncle Seven, is also a member of the older generation, but I don't know how many people he ranks.
He finally stopped, he had already thrown the cigarette butt into the river, he stroked his chest, and said to me in a hoarse voice: "Li Ke, you sit down first." The old man's voice was very weak, which also indirectly showed that this person was indeed in very bad health.
Seeing that he had no tendency to let people do it for the time being, I sat down next to the old man again. He introduced himself: "I am the fourth, you can call me the fourth uncle." ”
This person is the fourth uncle in Liang Kuan's mouth, Liang Kuan, should be his descendant, looking at age, Liang Kuan is more likely to be his son. I didn't directly say that I knew Liang Kuan, let alone the speculation in my heart, because once I spoke, the secret of the seventh uncle who took me into the power would be revealed.
I pretended not to know anything and asked, "You and Uncle Seven, are you the same person?" ”
Some things can be hidden, but some things must not be hidden. He was able to use the name of Uncle Seven to trick me out, and he must have known that I and Uncle Seven were acquainted. He smiled at me: "In your eyes, it should be the same person, you are the same as everyone else, just call me the fourth uncle." ”
He emphasized again, I have never met him, and it is a bit strange to call the fourth uncle, but I don't know what his name is, it seems that I can only call him that.
"It's just a name." I pretended to be calm and smiled: "Fourth uncle, may I ask you, call me out, is there anything wrong?" ”
"People are old, some people don't see each other again, and they may not have a chance in the future, so while I'm still alive, I can meet the people I want to see." The fourth uncle was full of smiles, and I noticed that his lips were very pale, which was a sign of a terminal illness.
I asked rhetorically: "I'm just a nobody, I didn't expect to be able to alarm the big people in the forces that even the police are afraid of to come to see me." The corners of my mouth rose slightly, and my words were full of mockery. This fourth uncle is definitely not a simple character, it is impossible for him not to understand the meaning of my words.
However, he did not make a fuss about my words, but said: "Li Yiran's son, how can he be a nobody." ”
His words made my heart sink sharply, he knew my father's name!
"What is the relationship between you and my father?" I asked solemnly.
"It's all in the past, I just want to meet his children." The fourth uncle smiled: "You are very good, you are already famous all over the country at a young age." If you are a nobody, then where do you put our faces on us old people who no one else knows? ”
The fourth uncle didn't give me any chance to answer, he went on with his own words: "The year you went to the police academy, you caused a sensation in the police academy because of your outstanding talent, not bad, not bad. "The fourth uncle said several good things, I didn't expect that he had investigated my past in such detail, and even what honors I had won in the police academy, he could tell it.
But soon, the fourth uncle's words changed: "I heard that you are sick, are you okay?" ”
He even knew this, and I gritted my teeth: "What is your purpose?" ”
The fourth uncle still smiled: "What purpose can I have, I said it, I just want to see you." My time is running out, in that old mansion, I can't find anyone to talk to, and finally come out to breathe, Li Ke, you can talk to me, an old man. ”
I absolutely don't believe that the fourth uncle is just as simple as he said, come to see me, let me talk to him. But I wasn't in a hurry, I took a deep breath: "You investigated me in such detail, then you should also know that I hate other people's words the most, right?" ”
"Li Ke, it's not a good behavior to talk like this to an old man." The fourth uncle was not angry and said.
I retorted, "I don't like it even more when people rely on the old and sell the old!" ”
Unexpectedly, the fourth uncle was still not angry at all, and actually laughed loudly. After taking the medicine, the fourth uncle didn't get angry anymore, he laughed for a long time before he slowly spoke: "You and your father Li Yiran are really similar, both have the same temper." The smile on the fourth uncle's face shrank suddenly, and his gaze stared at me.
When he looked at me, it was as if I had been completely seen through.
He mentioned his father's name again, and I don't know if he meant it or not. Before I could speak, the fourth uncle opened the topic.
"People who have lived for so long always feel very bored. When I was young, I always wanted to do a big career, and when I reached middle age and had my own career, I thought about being able to enjoy Qingfu. So I've always hoped that I would be old, but this person is so contradictory and complicated. Now, I'm so old that I can't even eat hard, but I regret it. ”
The fourth uncle talked to himself, and I listened to it all the time.
"I now think that it would be nice if God gave me a few more decades, perhaps, I shouldn't be so greedy, even if I can live another year or two, I will die without regrets." The fourth uncle's tone was full of loneliness, and the speed of his speech was extremely slow.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death, the natural cycle." I replied.
The fourth uncle didn't look at me, his eyes were on the river illuminated by the metropolis in the distance: "Yes, birth, old age, sickness and death, everyone can't hide, this is fate." I've been lonely all my life, and I didn't expect that when I died, I would be so lonely. ”
"Don't you have any children?" I asked tentatively. asked this just to confirm whether he had a child like Liang Kuan.
"Yes." The fourth uncle replied: "His name is Liang Kuan." ”
Sure enough, my previous assumptions were correct.
"However, that kid is filial on the surface, but in his heart, he must wish I died early, and then take over my position and power from me." The fourth uncle said with a smile.
"He's your son, don't you trust him?" I asked again.
"It's just a blood relationship, and the people I trust have long since fallen apart. I'm getting old, and my eyes are about to lose sight, but I know better than anyone else, and I know what I'm thinking about this kid. The fourth uncle said.
I thought about it for a long time and asked the fourth uncle if he would give the position to Liang Kuan. The fourth uncle told me with great certainty that he would, because he was his son, and this was the tradition and the care of family affection. The fourth uncle told me that it doesn't matter what kind of person Liang Kuan is, the important thing is that he is his son and has the same blood flowing on his body, so he can only be inherited by Liang Kuan.
There was something in the fourth uncle's words, but I didn't ask in detail. I have questions that I would like to know more.
"Li Ke, do you believe it, the old man's intuition is always the keenest, and I can't survive this spring." The fourth uncle said a word to me.
When I finally found an opportunity, I immediately asked: "What about Liang Kuan, isn't he filial on the surface, isn't he by your side?" ”
The fourth uncle shook his head: "He went out." ”
"Where did you go?" I asked again.
And the fourth uncle suddenly didn't answer, he turned around, stared at me meaningfully, and asked with a smile: "Li Ke, you seem to be very interested in my son?" ”
I frowned, "I'm interested in anyone in your forces. ”
"Who are you interested in?" The fourth uncle asked, seeing that I couldn't answer, he asked another way: "Who is the person you care about the most?" ”
I didn't even think about it, and said a name: "Shen Nuo." ”
The fourth uncle laughed a few times.
"Xiaonuo, she is no longer in the old mansion, she and Liang Kuan went out together."
The fourth uncle's words made my whole body tremble.
