twelve
That day was cloudy and cold, but Wei Ran's heart was very warm, since his mother died of illness and was sent to a welfare home, he no longer opened his heart to anyone at a young age, and preferred to be alone, because his mother's poverty and illness had made him taste white eyes and be bullied in his past life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When his mother was the most ill and couldn't afford the medical bills and could only lie in bed at home, moaning in pain, Wei Ran, who was young and precocious because of the difficult life, tried to do something to alleviate his mother's pain, but with his ability, except for being able to pick up some waste products to sell for some money, and exchange some barely satisfying food for the mother and son, he could not change the embarrassing situation of the family at all, let alone raise money for his mother's treatment.
Wei Ran will always remember how his mother left this world with helplessness, haggardness, pain, despair and an inseparable gaze on Wei Ran.
From the moment he closed his eyes for his mother, Wei Ran secretly made a vow in his heart that since no one helped him and his poor mother when they needed it most, he would no longer need anyone's sympathy and mercy.
"Wei Ran, you have relatives who come to see you. Obviously said something worthy of Wei Ran's happiness, but the teacher's words were cold, this withdrawn, stubborn, poor student, and often beat people to the death when he was bullied was not liked by the teacher.
Outside was a well-dressed young man with grim eyes and full of majesty. Wei Ran's gaze at the man was indifferent at first, then surprised, and finally excited, just because the man made Wei Ran feel an indescribable sense of déjà vu in his heart.
"Ha, ha, ha," the man smiled, laughing so much that Wei Ran felt that there was suddenly no distance between him and the man, "Sure enough, it's my brother, my brother has finally found you." When the man laughed, Wei Ran could see tears of excitement in his eyes.
"I hugged you, this mole on your eyebrows......" The man sighed.
"Brother?" Wei Ran hesitated a little, although his mother would often count his father's various wrongs to Wei Ran with resentment, but she never told Wei Ran that he still had an older brother, but with the wonderful feeling that only arises between the blood-related brothers of the young man in front of him, and with the vague recognition of his own shadow between the eyebrows of the man in front of him, Wei Ran no longer had any doubts in his heart.
"Brother. Wei Ran's voice was a little choked.
"Brother, my brother has been looking for your whereabouts, and now that we can finally meet, I promise that as long as the eldest brother is there for a day, I will never let you suffer again. "The young man's true feelings are beyond words.
From that day on, the lonely Wei Ran was no longer lonely, because he suddenly had an older brother.
From the mouth of this brother named Zhang Tuohai, Wei Ran learned that his biological father, who had been cursing for his mother, had died in an accident.
Wei Ran heard the news of the death of the man who should be called his father because his mother had always hated him in his heart, and he was so happy that he forgot to ask Zhang Tuohai the reason for his father's death.
Zhang Tuohai didn't want to tell Wei Ran the truth, just because the death of their father was not a glorious thing, their father was originally the leader of a gang, and in the friction with other underworld forces, he was sent a bullet and died.
After his father's death, Zhang Tuohai was pushed to the position of gang leader by a group of veterans who had followed his father for many years.
Zhang Tuohai was born smart, more far-reaching than his father, when his father chose to develop abroad in order to strengthen his career, and finally gave his life in vain, and died in a foreign country, but he did the opposite, found the right time, entrusted the affairs of the foreign gang to those veterans to take care of it, and he returned to China to develop his career, in addition to wanting the gang under his leadership to finally be able to fully engage in legal business and earn money under the sun, Zhang Tuohai did not want to be like his father, for a little petty profit, he would cause death.
Under the meticulous care of his brother, Wei Ran's grades jumped up, and in the amazement of the teachers and classmates who taught him, he was admitted to a famous university.
If it weren't for Zhang Tuohai, Wei Ran didn't know how long he would have sunk, he could be admitted to university, Zhang Tuohai contributed a lot, Wei Ran should have graduated from that university with excellent grades, and then with his talent and enthusiasm for precision electronics and fine chemicals, he got a good job, and even became an expert in electronics or chemical engineering, but because of Zhang Tuohai, Wei Ran's gradually bright and hopeful life began to bleak again.
Wei Ran leaned on the head of the hotel bed, staring silently at the integrated block in his hand, at this time, the past events that he did not want to recall that had been dusted in his mind for a long time reappeared.
That day, Wei Ran was playing blue ball on the school playground, and Zhang Tuohai suddenly came, with a heavy and worried look.
Wei Ran has long been impressed by this brother's domineering and untimid character, he has heard and witnessed Zhang Tuohai's career is booming, and now it must be quite a tricky thing to make Zhang Tuohai have such an expression on his face.
"Brother, something...... Big brother needs your help. Zhang Tuohai's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping looked in Wei Ran's eyes, and he couldn't help but be angry, "Brother, our brothers, if there is anything inconvenient to say, I am in a hurry if you are polite to me." ”
"Good brother, it's just what happened to the eldest brother this time, cough, let's not talk about it. Zhang Tuohai sighed and spoke heavily.
"Brother, what's going on? Do you still treat me as a brother?" Wei Ran was furious.
"Brother, my brother also has a business overseas, I told you before," Zhang Tuohai said with a heavy face, "It was your eldest brother who was very relieved that he was helping to manage it, and I didn't expect that recently, a newly found investment project, because of their negligence, let my brother fall into the trap carefully set by others, and was deceived by a multinational consortium that specializes in loan sharks and has a deep background." ”
"The other party set a trap in advance, they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to disguise a non-existent project, the surface of the seamless, and then sent someone to lobby my overseas company to invest in it, because the other party's project involves extremely high profits, and the market is extensive, including the eldest brother, our group sent people to the other party's factory several times to actually inspect, and saw that the production of the other party's factory is always normal, so the eldest brother finally decided to invest in the factory, expand the scale of production, did not expect to fall into the hands of others. Zhang Tuohai said slowly.
"Since the eldest brother has personally inspected it, how can he blame others for neglecting it. Wei Ran thought in his heart, but he didn't say it.
"Brother, what kind of thing did you co-produce with others?" Wei Ran wanted to know what kind of product the big brother was fooled into.
"Drugs. This answer just flashed in Zhang Tuohai's mind, how could he tell Wei Ran.
"Alas, don't mention the details, if you mention it, the eldest brother feels uncomfortable," Zhang Tuohai was emotional, so he looked like he was deceived and painful, "The eldest brother miscalculated this time, that factory has no legal qualifications for local production at all, and the funds we participated in to expand the scale of production and expand sales channels have just been remitted to the other party's account, and the factory was seized, not intentionally deceiving, how could it be such a coincidence." ”
First of all, Zhang Tuohai misjudged the intentions of the partner, he could never have expected that the factory that dared to produce drugs in a big way was built from beginning to end to deceive his trust, although Zhang Tuohai was cautious, but after visiting the factory and drinking at the same table with senior officials of the local government, he was convinced that the partner and the local government did have a tacit understanding, so the drug factory can reasonably exist in gray.
What Zhang Tuohai did not expect was that the people who set up the bureau first used money to open the way to dredge up the local officials, and then promised that the drug factory would be handed over to these bribe-taking officials to be sealed up within the agreed time limit.
The huge profits that drugs can bring make Zhang Tuohai dizzy, and the overseas gang he leads has been engaged in the drug business, because whenever the local government cracks down on drugs, his upstream suppliers will ask for a sky-high price, otherwise they will take the stock out as a threat, Zhang Tuohai's drug business supply and price have been coerced by others, these have long been his unspeakable heart disease, so this time, there is an opportunity to participate in the drug cultivation and production process, Zhang Tuohai will not let go of this excellent opportunity.
In order to raise funds, Zhang Tuohai found the consortium with which he had always had business dealings and specialized in usury.
Zhang Tuohai did not expect that the actual controller behind the consortium was also engaged in the drug business in addition to usury for profit, and there has always been a great conflict between Zhang Tuohai's sphere of influence in the drug business and the sphere of influence of the boss behind the consortium in the drug trade.
The peer is an enemy, the behind-the-scenes boss of the consortium made people get rid of Zhang Tuohai's father, but he didn't expect Zhang Tuohai to take over his father's gang, because of the huge profits of the drug business, he not only did not order the gang to be restrained, but he had the intention of carrying forward his father's will, and the boss behind the consortium was naturally very angry, but because Zhang Tuohai avoided returning to China, there were often people around him who did not leave the left and right, and the precautions were strict, which made it inconvenient for the consortium boss to send people to carry out the plot, so he finally set up this bureau, the consortium boss had two purposes, one was of course to want Zhang Tuohai's life, and the other was to make Zhang Tuohai's gang bankrupt without financial support, Zhang Tuohai's gang members are naturally difficult to become a climate, and it will not be a plate of scattered sand at that time, and the boss of the consortium wants to prevent Zhang Tuohai from dying, and his gang members will choose Li Tuohai and Chen Tuohai to oppose him.
In order to set up this bureau, the boss behind the consortium instructed the consortium to initially take the initiative to find Zhang Tuohai's gang to lend, in addition to promising an interest rate equivalent to that of a regular bank loan, the consortium never asked Zhang Tuohai the gang's use of loans, and in the end, the consortium got Zhang Tuohai's trust, and he began to take the initiative to find consortium loans more and more frequently and in large numbers to supplement the lack of liquidity in his daily business activities, in this case, the consortium boss decided to close the net.
"Brother, how much did you lose in total?" Wei Ran asked.
"Three hundred million," Zhang Tuohai said weakly, "dollars." ”
Wei Ran's eyes widened, he really couldn't imagine that Zhang Tuohai's business was so big.
"That's the whole net worth of the eldest brother. Zhang Tuohai's expression looked downcast.
"Brother, don't be afraid, as long as there are people, we can earn more money in the future. After all, Wei Ran is a young man, he just wants to comfort Zhang Tuohai.
"I borrowed a loan shark," Zhang Tuohai looked at Wei Ran like an alien, "If you don't pay back the money, I'm afraid it won't cost your eldest brother's life." ”
Wei Ran was silent, "Even if the eldest brother is doing business, he shouldn't borrow illegal money. He faintly felt in his heart that Zhang Tuohai's behavior was inappropriate, but he didn't say it.
"If you don't pay off your debts for a day, the interest on those funds is still rolling day by day, and after calculation, the eldest brother sells all his assets, maybe barely enough to pay the principal borrowed from the consortium, but with the interest, it is at least tens of millions away, and now, the eldest brother is really desperate. Zhang Tuohai suddenly kicked a stone in front of him, and said hideously.
"Brother, how can I help you?" Wei Ran asked.
"Your driving skills are good?"
Hearing Zhang Tuohai's inquiry, Wei Ran nodded and replied in a low voice.
He loves drag racing Zhang Tuohai should know, because underground drag racing involves the cost of vehicle modification and maintenance, so Wei Ran often reaches out to Zhang Tuohai for money when he participates in underground drag racing, and he has no reason to turn a deaf ear to Wei Ran's participation in underground drag racing and often wins.
Zhang Tuohai ignored Wei Ran's drag racing, just because Zhang Tuohai intervened in all the underground drag racing that Wei Ran participated in, and behind those underground drag racing cars where people were often accidentally injured or injured, there were almost always hundreds or tens of millions of bets at every turn, and the boss who manipulated the gambling game behind it was Zhang Tuohai. Wei Ran's youthful and vigorous blood did not consider the consequences of physical disability and even death, and impulsively participated in underground drag racing for Zhang Tuohai, how could Zhang Tuohai tell Wei Ran the truth.
"Whether the eldest brother can escape this catastrophe this time is all up to you, because when the eldest brother signed the agreement with someone this time, he set up an extra article, that is, if the eldest brother is unable to fulfill the agreement and repay the loan, the interest part of the loan will be decided by the victory or defeat of a drag racing event. ”
Zhang Tuohai and the other party of the consortium would transfer funds to Zhang Tuohai's designated account every time, and this time, the other party not only required it to be specified in the contract, first of all, Zhang Tuohai must provide a third-party account, and the consortium would directly remit the funds to the account of Zhang Tuohai's partner, and the consortium would raise the preferential interest rate on Zhang Tuohai's usual loans to the standard when they engaged in illegal lending。
Zhang Tuohai weighed it again and again, but decided to take the risk and sign an agreement with that consortium for only three reasons, first, only that consortium would lend him money without asking for a reason, and second, if there was no accident in the drug factory, Zhang Tuohai's investment would have a huge absolute return.
In the end, Zhang Tuohai made the worst plan, if everything is really a trap, it must not be an idle person to be able to set up this bureau to deal with himself, every time he thinks of his father who was almost 24 hours under the close protection of the gang's bodyguards, he was still killed, Zhang Tuohai was unable to sleep, although the local police and the media finally concluded that his father's death was due to a small criminal organization and Zhang Tuohai's father's gang A little friction finally caused a tragedy, the police arrested all the members of the small criminal organization, including the murderer, and in the end, those people were all killed in prison by Zhang Tuohai without exception, but Zhang Tuohai never believes that just because those rabble have the courage to go against the gang and kill his father, there must be another real murderer behind it.
Because he was afraid of being plotted by someone like his father, Zhang Tuohai chose to flee to China, as long as the identity of the culprit who killed his father behind the potential was not clear for a day, Zhang Tuohai would not be at peace in his heart.
And this time, if it was really a trap set by the opponent who plotted against his father back then, Zhang Tuohai could have tried to find out the identity of the opponent, and Zhang Tuohai was not willing to be a mud earthworm that could only survive in the dark.
Zhang Tuohai left a hand, and at the end of the agreement signed with the consortium, he deliberately added a clause, if the agreement could not be fulfilled in the end,
For the interest part generated by the loan, the creditor's rights and debts between the two parties will be severed by the victory or defeat of a drag racing event, and the other party will get the *** network under the control of Zhang Tuohai's gang and Zhang Tuohai's life, and Zhang Tuohai will not have to pay a penny of interest if he loses.
The consortium agreed to Zhang Tuohai's additional conditions, and Zhang Tuohai had even more reason to believe that the people behind the consortium must have something to do with his father's death.
Zhang Tuohai's willingness to take risks is determined by his character, and because of his ambition, he cannot tolerate the potential of a deadly snake in his path to lead the gang forward.
"If it's really a trap, then I can't say that I want to fight with the other party. At the moment of signing, Zhang Tuohai made the worst plan in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the worst plan he made became a reality so quickly, Zhang Tuohai is not sad is fake, who can be calculated out of thin air and bear hundreds of millions of debts?
"Brother is betting with people on drag racing, so it's all up to you, if you win, we will have no debts, and if you lose, it's my brother's life," Zhang Tuohai looked at Wei Ran with earnest eyes, "At this time, except for you, no one can be trusted by my brother, and my brother's life is all in your hands, brother." ”
Zhang Tuohai's "brother" immediately made Wei Ran's blood boil.
"Let's not fight uncertain battles, brother wants you to see if you can think of a way in the other party's car first, after all, this is a game that big brother can't afford to lose. Zhang Tuohai's eyes were solemn.
Wei Ran nodded, looking like he was gearing up.
Zhang Tuohai smiled, it was difficult to be a big brother for this, and he smiled when he saw his biological brother accompanying him in danger.
Wei Ran and Zhang Tuohai flew together to a distant and strange country, which was not only a frequent civil war, but also a favorite haunt of international terrorist organizations.
