Chapter 66: Opportunity

I guess from Haiyan's age that her parents must have been born in the 50s, so it's normal for Haiyan's father to own this vinyl record.

It's just that in a foreign country, hearing this familiar melody is really a feeling that is difficult to describe......

Haiyan also likes this song, and she also turned out other records in her collection for me to watch, all of which are some Hong Kong and Taiwan songs from the 80s, including Teresa Teng's, Qi Qin's, etc...... I was surprised where she got this from, and I liked the music more, so I discussed it with her, and just like that, Haiyan and I quickly became acquainted.

This place of the eighth master is very good...... I can't say a good one, but I always feel that the atmosphere here is like the kind of state-owned enterprises in China 20 years ago, or like in the army.

Everyone stayed in the dormitory, ate a big pot of rice, and the atmosphere was very good.

In the evening, Haiyan took me to the "canteen".

I was a little amused to hear that.

Canteen!

It's a word that is rarely heard even in China now, even some large old state-owned enterprises, or colleges and universities, have changed their names to restaurants.

The cafeteria here is actually a large converted warehouse, with several rows of tables, chairs and stools, and everyone carrying a plastic plate in their hands to the window to eat, which reminds me of the time when I was still in school.

The food here is also good, pork balls stewed with Chinese cabbage, the rice is still a little hard, but I am already very satisfied, I saw that the eighth master also ate here, but I didn't see the seventh uncle, the seventh uncle didn't seem to know where to go.

The eighth master sat at a round table at the front, there were five or six people at that table, all of them were about the same age as the eighth master, men about fifty years old, they were talking in a low voice while eating, the eighth master's expression was a little serious, and his face was even more gloomy.

The other people, all wearing the work clothes in the garage, and when they walked past the table of the eighth master with a plate, they were all subconsciously light and did not dare to make a mistake.

I can see that these people's respect for the eighth master is sincere!

I waited for two days and stayed here for two days, but the eighth master didn't look for me again.

In the past two days, I was arranged to help wash vegetables and chopsticks in the cafeteria, probably because Haiyan and I are girls, I see that except for me and Haiyan helping in the cafeteria, the other men are washing cars and repairing in the garage.

During the day, we worked in the morning until noon until they had finished eating, and after we had finished washing, there was nothing to do around two o'clock in the afternoon, and then we went to the gym on the ground floor with Haiyan to exercise.

I can say that when I first came here, I had a very relieved feeling, the atmosphere here was very good, and I felt like I had found an organization and found a home.

But after two days, I was a little depressed.

Because! I'm not here to wash dishes in Canada!

I don't know how the eighth master wants to arrange me and what he wants me to do, but I am at least sure of my own thoughts, I crossed the Pacific Ocean and crossed the sea, not just to be a little dishwasher!

I'm starting to get a little depressed, but it's only in the afternoon when I'm practicing with Haiyan that I'm a little happier.

These rough men around are all very good people! Exercising with them every day, occasionally wearing gloves and hoods to fight twice, sweating all over, is also a pleasure.

Haiyan would ask me for kung fu advice from time to time, in fact, we learned from each other, she was very athletic, her physical flexibility and coordination were excellent, and she was willing to endure hardships, and many times I was not her opponent.

Every time the two of us fight, we are always surrounded by other men, some cheering me on, and some cheering Haiyan ~~

The days passed like this, and a week passed, and the eighth master still didn't look for me.

And these days, I can't even see the eighth master, he doesn't come to the cafeteria to eat anymore...... I even wondered if he had forgotten about me, and I was using my daily work as a vent...... Even the practice of boxing is used as a vent! The mood is also a little irritable.

I gave it to the side, although Haiyan had raised her arms to protect her chest, but she was still swept to the ground by me, and couldn't help scolding, and then lay on the ground and gasped: "Xue'er!" What happened to you? The mood doesn't seem to be right these two days! ”

I threw away my gloves while standing, then went over and reached out and pulled her up.

Without saying a word, I pulled Haiyan up, then shook my head to signal her to stop.

To be honest, after a week of good food and drink, I feel like my body has almost fully recovered, and I have been exercising every day for a week...... You know, when I was in China, there were too many stable days, and I haven't practiced for a long time!

I've had a few fights with these guys this week, except for the two or three older ones and Haiyan, who can fight me for a while, and the others basically can't get past me, and now I feel like it's not much different from when I was competing in Yunnan, and a lot of people are getting more and more impressed with me.

After taking a shower, Haiyan and I had dinner, and after washing the dishes and chopsticks, we returned to the room, Haiyan suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed: "Damn, by the way, there is a battle report tonight!" Look! ”

"What battle report?" I was stunned for a moment.

Haiyan shook her head: "Didn't you hear them talk about it during dinner at night?" We had a fight with the Vietnamese! ”

I shook my head, I was depressed when I was patronizing someone during the meal, where was I still in the mood to listen to them chatting?

Haiyan had turned on the very shabby TV, and it was still in color! Then she tuned into a channel and saw a female announcer who looked like she was Asian.

To my surprise, she actually spoke Chinese, and Haiyan explained with a smile: "This is Vancouver!" A quarter of Vancouver's population is Asian, with Chinese Americans making up the majority, so there are Chinese TV shows and Chinese newspapers! ”

I nodded.

Haiyan stopped talking to me and watched the TV intently, and then, excitedly, she exclaimed, "Come on, come on!" ”

“…… The news from this station ......" The female announcer on TV reported in a serious tone: "In the early hours of this morning, there was a vicious shooting and murder incident at a gas station in East Hasting, this city! Two Asian men were suddenly shot by an unknown snatching handgun while parking, and they were shot several times!

According to the eyewitness account of the supermarket staff at the gas station, the two victims were parking to refuel at that time, and the gunman appeared from both sides at the same time, without any conversation between the two sides, immediately fired several shots at the victim with a pistol, and then drove the victim's car to quickly flee the scene! In addition, according to the latest news, the two victims have died on the way to the hospital for rescue, the identity of the victims has been verified, and it has been confirmed that neither of them has any legal identity, and the police suspect that the two are Vietnamese smugglers.

At present, the police have expressed suspicion that the shooting case is related to the vendetta of the underworld......"

In the evening, we were suddenly called out of the room and called to the warehouse behind the garage!

I found a car parked here, and Haiyan and I were instructed to help the other workers who were there.

It was a red Mustang off-road car, the license plate was gone, and I could clearly see that there were a few bullet holes in the windshield of the car! And the doors of the car, as well as the tires, are stained with some blood!

Seeing this, I remembered the news I saw today, and I understood something almost immediately!

More than a dozen workers, armed with various tools, spot welding guns, cutters, and a few skilled repair workers...... I opened the front cover of the car's engine, and then quickly dismantled all the mechanical parts inside, while Haiyan and I were on hand to help them pass some tools.

tires, spindles, and so on and so forth...... All the parts of the car were all taken out, and there were people waiting behind them, and they took the tools and easily erased the number and imprint on the engine, put a new one, and then did some processing.

When all is said and done, all that remains of the car is a shell...... There are no tires, and the seat cushion inside has been removed......

Then they picked up the gun again and began the operation on the shell of the car.

They changed the paint out of the car, then made a quadruple row of lights on the roof and made some changes to the doors and rear of the car......

Finally proceed with the disassembly......

A car that was originally intact was broken into countless pieces and dismembered into countless parts almost overnight.

I know that these parts, engines, spark plugs, oil pipes, etc., etc., will be used in the garage when repairing the car for other customers, and if there is a need to replace it, it will be used immediately.

And the modified roof will not be wasted, because there are often customers who will drive their own cars here and ask to modify their cars to be more personal, such as modifying the roof to make a row of lights, or raising the rear of the car, which looks very unusual......

We were busy all night until dawn!

At dawn, I can say for sure......

That car is completely non-existent!

It is divided into countless parts, which are then assembled into countless cars...... I think even if it's an immortal, I can't find out!

I knew it was necessary.

The police generally go to the black car market to check the lost vehicle, but now that the car has been reduced to zero, how can it be checked?

We workers were busy all night, and our eyes were red from exhaustion, and then we were allowed to do not have to work during the day, and then some of the older leaders told us to go back and rest.

I washed my hands and was about to go back to my room with Haiyan when I was stopped.

"Cher."

I turned around, but I saw a person under the Eighth Master, and I seemed to have seen him once in the Eighth Master's room last time.

As soon as my heart jumped, I heard him say to me, "Come with me, the eighth master wants to see you." ”

I subconsciously glanced at Haiyan, there was some envy in her eyes, but she didn't speak, smiled at me, and left alone.

I followed the man out and came to another warehouse, which was a large repair shop, and it was so late that I saw that there were still many workers busy, they seemed to be modifying cars, and the harsh light of the welding made me subconsciously avoid my eyes.

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, I stood on the railing and looked down, and I saw two men standing on the side, both in simple coats...... They weren't wearing overalls here, which surprised me.

Because I've been here for a week, people from outside aren't allowed to come in unless it's my own people here!

However, I didn't say much, but followed the eighth master's men to a door.

"Let's go inside." The man looked at me.

I pushed the door and went in, and saw that the eighth master was sitting on a chair, dragging his chin with one hand, as if he was pondering something.

"Eighth Master." I walked up to him and stood still, and whispered.

He came to his senses, looked up at me, and then pointed to a couch by the wall, "Sit down." ”

The couch was by the wall, and I sat down with the window behind me, and downstairs outside the window, the workers were modifying the cars.

The eighth master lit a cigarette first, then handed me the cigarette case and lighter, and then smiled: "How do you feel about being here for a week?" ”

……… Well, that's good. I replied calmly, "It's very good here, and everyone is very nice to me." ”

"Hmm." The eighth master smiled, then casually took out a large envelope of brown paper from the table and gently threw it to me: "This is yours." ”

I was stunned, opened it and looked at it, it was all some documents, and I couldn't help but look up at the eighth master.

"Your legal status." The eighth master smiled, his smile had a unique charm, very peaceful, very affinity: "In the future, you will not be a black household, even if you meet the police on the street, you don't have to be afraid, you now have a passport, visa, don't be afraid of the immigration department, but your visa is temporary, only three months, after three months, I will help you get a real permanent status." ”

"Thank you, Eighth Master!" I looked at him solemnly.

"You got it from the fat man, no matter what, I'll take care of you." The eighth master said lightly: "I heard that you seem to have some emotional problems this afternoon?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, but then I realized that it must have been someone from the gym who told the eighth master.

I hesitated a little, but decided it would be better to be honest.

"I'm in a bad mood." I looked at the eighth master, and looked at him without hesitation: "Eighth master, I jumped into the sea, and the sea is considered a life of nine deaths, and I finally got here, I want to do something!" Either way, at least I don't want to be a little dishwasher here for the rest of my life! For a week, I've been bored working here, and I feel ......"

"Think it's unpromising?" The eighth master smiled, and there was a hint of deep meaning in his smile: "Do you think life is very boring? ”

I didn't speak, I just acquiesced.

"Young man." He rubbed his temples, then looked at me deeply, suddenly stood up, and walked to the window.

He turned his back to me and looked out the window at the busy workers below: "Do you see them?" ”

"See."

"They're all my people! There are also many of them who are good at fighting! There are many people like you, who have jumped into the sea to come here! They all have their own enthusiasm and want to do big things! They all depend on me now for food and work for me...... Why can my eighth master stand in Canada! Because I have many brothers! These brothers under my command are truly convinced of me! Every single one of them will willingly go out and die for me! ”

He turned around, and his originally green face actually showed a hint of expression: "Do something big!" Everyone wants to do big! But how can there be so many big things in the world for you to do? Everyone wants to come out, everyone wants to be on top! But opportunities are always few! You think we're the U.S. government? Every day the whole world is looking for a place to fight? After fighting Afghanistan and Iraq, and after fighting Iraq and Iran? Where is there so much big stuff for you to do?? ”

He suddenly sighed, shook his head, and whispered, "I'm old...... Over the years, I have been in and out here, I don't know how many people, many of them are hot-blooded young people like you, with extraordinary skills, all of them have a heart higher than the sky, and they want to do great things and get ahead...... But how many survived in the end? I've seen too much and sent too many people into coffins...... They are all very good young people! As for you, everybody wants me to give you a chance, but do I like to send you to death? ”

He changed his tone again and looked at me, "You're new here...... New after all! Don't forget this, there are many, many brothers to take care of under my eighth master, and some of them have waited with me for two or three years, and they have no chance to go out to do things! How long have you been here? One week! Got on fire in a hurry? Can't help it? No one is worse than the other! With me, everyone is equal! I'm not going to look at you especially just because you're a fat man! If you are allowed to go at any opportunity, then what will my other brothers think of me! What will they think of you! You were sent by a fat man, I will help you get an identity, these are all favors, but you can't pay attention to favors when doing things! ”

I was silent.

I understand that what the eighth master said is very reasonable, and there is indeed nothing wrong with him doing this.

Yes, others have been waiting here for so long, why, as soon as I came, let me come out on top?

Looking at my lost expression, the eighth master suddenly smiled again, patted me on the shoulder, comforted me, and said: "However, you do have some ability, I also understand, you are very capable of fighting, you are very good, I will not be invisible, I said, you can't talk about human feelings when doing things, I only look at ability!" You really have the ability, and I won't let your ability go to waste! Well...... I came to you today for two main things, the first is to get your identification certificate for you, and the second is to ......"

He smiled a little mysteriously, looked at me, and said gently, "I'll give you a chance now." ”

I'm refreshed!

In the wee hours of the morning, I had already packed a few clothes, and then I got into a car, which was the modified car of the workers under the office of the eighth master last night.

I sat in the front passenger seat, and it was the eighth master's subordinate who drove the car.

In the back of the car, there were two men, the two men in coats I saw last night, in the garage of the eighth master.

The two men looked very cold, one did not like to smile, and the other kept a smile on his face...... But I still think he's cold.

Because even when he is laughing, there is a hint of sharpness in his eyes!

Both men were forty miles away, obviously Chinese, with their hands in their pockets, got in the car and began to sleep, without saying a word to me.

The car soon drove out of Vancouver and headed north.
