Chapter 266 [Father's Revenge] (I)
Bai Yunfei nodded, called the waiter to order a pot of good Qi Hong, and arranged some refreshments.
Luo Lie is here for the first time, his eyes fell on the Pujiang River not far away, the afternoon sun makes people involuntarily have a lazy meaning, Luo Lie thought that he was already familiar with the city, but sitting here found that this city seems to be a little different from the past. The city is still the city of the past, but from a different angle.
Bai Yunfei took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Where has Brother Luo been recently?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I want to go to a high place, but the positions are all occupied by Mr. Mu, so I can only go down." ”
Bai Yunfei laughed, took out a box of cigarettes and handed it to Luo Lie, Luo Lie was not polite, he smoked one from it and lit it, Bai Yunfei came to find himself to catch up with the past, he came to Huangpu this time and did not make a noise, it is likely that Bai Yunfei has been tracking since he got out of the car.
Luo Lie found that Bai Yunfei was not smoking, and handed the cigarette case to him upside down, Bai Yunfei smiled: "Quit it." ”
Luo Lie said: "Afraid of hurting your throat?"
Bai Yunfei sighed: "What has been lost can never be returned. ”
In Luo Lie's ears, his emotion should have another meaning, but Bai Yunfei's current situation seems to be better than in the past, in the past, his power was limited to Jinmen, and now he has inherited Mu Sanshou's power and territory, and has become the overlord of Huangpu, what he has lost is just a name.
Luo Lie didn't know why Bai Yunfei inherited everything from Mu Sanshou, although Bai Yunfei's methods were clever, it was not easy for Mu Sanshou's old department to accept him after all.
Bai Yunfei said: "You must be very strange, how did I become Mu Tianluo, and how did I take over Mu Sanye's position." In the depths of Bai Yunfei's heart, he is still full of gratitude to Mu Sanshou, if it weren't for Mu Sanshou's authorization before he died, he would not have been able to make a comeback or even return to the top in a short period of time. No matter what others think of Mu Sanshou, no matter what Mu Sanshou has done, Bai Yunfei thinks that Mu Sanshou is kind to him.
Bai Yunfei has always been a person with clear grievances, he has no mercy on his enemies, and he will treat his benefactors with courtesy.
Luo Lie said: "Mr. Mu is a person with profound blessings, and it is not surprising what kind of opportunity he has. ”
Bai Yunfei laughed, he put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Luo Lie, and shook his head slowly, the meaning conveyed was not clear, I don't know if it was negative or another way of approval. Bai Yunfei said: "Brother Luo, I have never seen a young man like you before, you are so much younger than me, but you have seen things in this world more thoroughly than me, do you know what I admire most about you?"
Luo Lie said: "I am a poor pastor, what else is worthy of Mr. Mu's admiration?"
Bai Yunfei said: "You clearly have insight into everything, but you have no quarrel with the world, a person like you can easily make a great career anywhere, if you are in my position, I am afraid that the entire Huangpu will be trampled under your feet." ”
Luo Lie smiled noncommittally and flicked the cigarette ash from his hand.
Bai Yunfei changed his words and said, "Sometimes I really doubt your age. ”
Luo Lie said: "My mentality is indeed old. ”
Bai Yunfei said: "It's right that the scheming is unfathomable. ”
Luo Lie smiled: "It seems that Mr. Mu is not a good person in his heart. ”
Bai Yunfei asked rhetorically: "In Brother Luo's heart, am I a good person?"
Luo Lie looked at Bai Yunfei, Bai Yunfei looked at Luo Lie, although Luo Lie did not give an answer, but the two of them laughed at the same time, Luo Lie's heart Bai Yunfei is naturally not a good person, he used to have grace with him, but Bai Yunfei is still willing to be used by Mu Sanshou for his own interests, and even does not hesitate to take revenge, in the underground palace of the Old Summer Palace, only because the situation forced him to change his course and join forces with himself, such a person is not a friend who can share hardships at all, although he is not a good person, but at least he is not an enemy at present.
Bai Yunfei was clear about his image in Luo Lie's heart, and sighed: "People are like a stone, they will slowly weathered when exposed to wind and dust, and when they are thrown into the water, they will be rubbed off by the accumulated water. It's easy to change yourself in this world, but it's hard to be your original self, and this is what I admire most about Brother Luo, who can still keep his heart in the red world. ”
Luo Lie said: "Because I'm lazy, I'm too lazy to change." ”
Bai Yunfei said: "Change is the way to go, in today's world, unchanged means being eliminated by society." ”
Luo Lie smiled: "Survival of the fittest, there must be someone in this world who will be eliminated." He pressed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, thinking that Bai Yunfei's opening remarks today were long enough, Bai Yunfei could never find himself just to catch up with the past, such a person would not do anything meaningless, especially after experiencing the ups and downs of life, he would cherish everything he had today, and he would not waste time on irrelevant people or things.
Luo Lie didn't want to ask questions, although his heart had risen to end this kind of temptation, but he didn't get to the point of talking, but as he said himself, he was lazy, and after Ganbian's matter, he gradually lost interest in everything around him, more things are better than less, since you Bai Yunfei don't want to say, I am not interested in asking.
Bai Yunfei's patience with Luo Lie was convinced, Luo Lie was several years younger than himself, and he was so calm, Bai Yunfei said: "Brother Luo, do you remember what happened to us in the Old Summer Palace before?"
Luo Lie nodded.
Bai Yunfei said: "Before his death, Mu Sanye gave me the dry tobacco that he never left his body, and there are some secrets in this. "He's been very honest about it.
Luo Lie had already realized that Bai Yunfei must be in trouble, and he should have something to ask for himself, otherwise he would never tell himself such a secret, Luo Lie said: "Some things are suitable for hiding in your heart. ”
Bai Yunfei said with a smile: "Then who is it for, the reason why I was able to inherit Mu Sanye's property in Huangpu was all because of that cigarette stick, maybe I was not the best heir of Mu Sanye, but in that situation at that time, he may have no choice." ”
Luo Lie said: "If you are someone else, you must not do as well as you." ”
Bai Yunfei actually thought so in his heart, he sighed and said, "Actually, that cigarette stick is the same when it falls into anyone's hand, and they can all sit in this position." Speaking of this, he paused, leaned closer to Luo Lie, and said in a low voice: "I have discovered some secrets of Mu Sanye. ”
Luo Lie was stunned in his heart, could it be that he had discovered the grievances between Mu Sanshou and Ye Qinghong?
Bai Yunfei said: "It is no accident that Mu Sanye can have the former status in Huangpu, over the years, he has worked hard, and the relationship between the Huangpu Municipal Government and the consul of the concession is very harmonious, and the organization is also coordinated and cooperative, sincere and consistent, and his leadership ability is beyond doubt." ”
Luo Lie said: "I don't know much about him. ”
Bai Yunfei said: "Have you heard of Ren Zhongchang?"
Luo Lie shook his head, but remembered in his heart that the night he and Ye Qinghong met, it was at the Blue Mill that Lu Weilin assassinated Ren Zhongchang, the overseer of northern Jiangxi, in full view of everyone, and he and the blind man were also involved in a treacherous dispute because of this.
In Luo Lie's opinion, the dust has already settled, Ren Zhongchang, Liu Tonghei, Xiao Tianxing, Liu Decheng These people were all cronies around Prince Rui Yixun, and this group of people coveted the wealth of their masters, and co-directed a farce of seeking money and killing people, but Yixun was not an idle person, and set layers of traps to make this group of people fail to do what they wanted, and let them be suspicious of each other and kill each other. However, this old feud ended with the death of all the parties involved.
Now Bai Yunfei mentioned this matter again, which made Luo Lie couldn't help but be stunned.
Bai Yunfei said: "As far as I know, Ren Zhongchang is a former overseer of northern Jiangxi, who died at the Blue Mill in the French Concession, and Brother Luo was present at that time. ”
Luo Lie smiled, which was equivalent to a kind of acquiescence.
Bai Yunfei said: "Ren Zhongchang's assassination is not over. ”
Luo Lie said: "Then let the police investigate, I don't think this matter has anything to do with me." ”
Bai Yunfei said: "I didn't say that it has anything to do with you, although Ren Zhongchang is dead, but the influence of the Ren family in the army has not wavered, his son Ren Tianjun has taken the throne under the support of a group of old subordinates, and has successfully consolidated his dominance in just one year. ”
Luo Lie lit a cigarette and began to wonder what Bai Yunfei's purpose was in revealing this information to himself.
Bai Yunfei said: "This is an old case, it has not been closed until now, the murderer fled after the murder, on the surface, it seems that the context of the case is very clear and clear, but if you think about it carefully, there are many doubts in it." ”
Luo Lie said: "I want to hear about it." ”
Bai Yunfei said: "Ren Zhongchang came to Huangpu to buy arms, and at the same time to meet with the French consul, this matter was made by Mu Sanye, and Ren Zhongchang was also invited by Mu Sanye to watch the performance at the Blue Mill on the night of his assassination. He stared at Luo Lie's eyes and said meaningfully: "When Ren Zhongchang was assassinated, Mu Sanye's goddaughter Ye Qinghong was singing on the stage, and she was also hijacked by the killer that night.
Luo Lie said: "If I say it's all a coincidence, do Mr. Mu believe it?"
"Believe, of course, Brother Luo has no need to deceive me. Bai Yunfei changed his words and said: "It's a pity that not everyone in this world trusts Brother Luo as much as I do." ”
From Bai Yunfei's words, Luo Lie had already realized that perhaps he was also locked as the suspected murderer of Ren Zhongchang like Ye Qinghong, and he did not explain, nor did he need to explain.
Bai Yunfei said: "Ren Tianjun is a very powerful character, he wants revenge!"
Luo Lie said: "The hatred of killing my father is not shared, and anyone will do it." ”
