19th arrondissement, a bar.

Unbeknownst to the dragon, fate had taken him to the place where his father had been born, to the world he knew best. When he thought about it now, he always felt that fate was a machine with countless spools, and the other end of one spool was himself. Now, this spool is tightening over time, pulling itself towards a predetermined destiny.

Qiu Long went to an unknown place in the 19th district. This area is remote, and the government has not found any resources in the area that can be exploited, so in order to save money, it has neglected to develop and govern, and in the long run, this area has become a three-way zone. There are several other places in the entire underworld in this area, and the government knows about them. In addition to black and white, this world also allows for the presence of gray.

He has been to this place a few times, as long as you follow the rules, no one cares what you do, everyone here has secrets and stories! It is a place outside the law, with its own set of operational underground legal protections. At this point, you can eat and drink, find a woman and find a woman, whatever you want, but you are not allowed to owe money, you are not allowed to carry weapons, you are not allowed to kill people and goods, and you are not allowed to fight violently. As a result, it has remained stable for a long time, and the government is naturally indifferent to an abandoned land that has remained obscure and useless for many years.

Qiu Long knew these rules, and he had to be careful when he first came, and then he was relieved. He sat in a dimly lit bar, ordered a beer, and slowly felt a rare calm. He knew that even if the people of Fez came here and were staring at him with hatred at the moment, he would not be afraid. Rules are rules, and no one has dared to break this rule for so many years, and now it won't.

The beer he asked for was delivered, and when the bartender put down his glass, he saw a folded piece of paper pressed under the glass. He immediately became nervous, and slowly took the piece of paper in his hand as he held the cup. After a few quiet sips of beer, he pretended to look around the bar casually: there was only one bartender at the bar, his head bowed and carefully wiping his glass with a piece of tarpaulin; In the corner, a plump woman was sitting on a bearded leg, her hands around his head and whispering, her eyes closed, her hands roaming behind the woman's back; Next to him, a drunken man lay on the table, his glass was poured and spilled, and a woman in an apron with a gloomy face was dragging the drunkard's wine at his feet with a mop; There were three people around a small table playing cards intently; On the dance floor, two couples are slowly circling around the music with their waists and shoulders. No one paid attention to him.

He exhaled, lowered his head and slowly opened the paper ball, which read: "Julia's Back Door Warehouse". He immediately became nervous. Thousands of thoughts rushed through my mind, but I didn't have a clue.

"Alright! If you can't figure it out, you don't want to! He crumpled the paper ball, put it in his mouth and chewed it, took a sip of beer and swallowed it. I touched the dagger on my legs and feet, and I was a little relieved! He walked to the bar.

When he got to the bar, he snapped his fingers and said to the bartender, "Borrow the bathroom!" The bartender looked up, smiled at him, pointed back, and said, "Get out the back door and turn left!" ”

Out of the back door, there is a dark path, leaning on a rock wall about dozens of meters high with water vapor extending forward, two strong men wearing hats standing not far from the door are smoking, the towering rock wall inlaid with lights will spill down, the faces of the two people are submerged in the dark, blurred! Seeing someone coming out, the two threw away their cigarette rolls, looked at them fixedly, and one of them said, "Mr. Qiulong, please come here!" Not afraid that the dragon would leave, the two turned around and led the dragon not far ahead. Walking dozens of meters, an iron gate appeared on the stone wall dug by the rock, and the two opened the iron door and made a gesture of please.

Qiu Long hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in, and the two did not go in with him. A few steps inside, the iron door slammed shut behind him. The interior of the house is spacious, about hundreds of square meters, dry and warm, and there is no feeling of being perpetually wet and cold outside. There was a slight "slight" breeze inside, which must have been the reason for keeping the room dry and warm. There are dozens of rows of wooden shelves displayed inside, and on top of them are all kinds of drinks and food in the near distance, and in the distance are things packed in long boxes, all of which are sealed, and I don't know what kind of goods they are.

A voice called out to him from inside: "Come here, son! ”

Following the sound, after navigating a few rows of shelves, Qiu Long saw a table, three sofas, and a man sitting on a chair. When the man saw Qiu Long coming, he waved his hand at him, motioned for him to sit down first, continued to sign a few words, and then pressed the bell on the table, and a young man walked quickly from the other side, and after listening to a few words from this man, he picked up the paper and walked out quickly.

The man raised his head and said softly to Qiu Long, "Child, I am your father!" My name is Tenacious! ”

He looked at this man who was about fifty years old, even though there were thousands of language expressions and thousands of speculative responses, Qiu Long was still dumbfounded, and his brain was in chaos!

"Sorry! Kid, this is how I meet you! Qiu Ren's words brought him back to reality, "It happened suddenly, I had to see you, and I was forced to meet you this time, so that you exposed your identity in advance, whether you want it or not, it can only be like this, and it is bound to be like this!" ”

The opening of tenacity is so straightforward, whether others accept it or not, love it or not, and reluctantly!

Qiu Long's brain went blank, and it took a long time to react. What Boss Biao said when he was in the warehouse, he was skeptical, after all, he had some psychological preparations in advance, Rao was like this, this kind of suddenness still made him extremely uncomfortable! This man actually threatened himself with the name of Julia, which made him a little angry!

He looked at the resolute-faced man in front of him, with dissatisfaction in his heart, but asked a little jokingly: "It's refreshing for you to recognize your son, but how can I suddenly have more fathers?" I have parents! Do you fancy me handsome and chic and have a future, handsome and chic, a future, hum, it's not good! Now he is still being chased and killed by Boss Biao! ”

Qiu Ren ignored his words, picked up the wine glass, and asked, "Child, what do you drink?" ”

Seeing the dragon sitting there angrily, he poured him a glass of wine, poured a glass of wine himself, and slowly sat down opposite the dragon.

"This is where I grew up, and this world will be where our children and grandchildren will grow up in the future! Child, although I did not grow with you, I witnessed your growth! Destiny is a machine with countless spools......"

"Stop! I know this analogy, please change the analogy! Qiu Long said with a smile in his eyes.

Qiu Long was a little surprised, what did this kid interrupt indiscriminately, could it be that the thoughts between father and son could be the same?

"When I learned that the government was beginning to suspect Deepley, and I learned that you were about to make a deal, I arranged for someone to contact Deepley to bring you a message, and prepared to make an appointment to meet you, of course it will not be today's meeting, it is the warm kind! only to learn that you killed him on the spot. I didn't expect that. Not bad, hum, not bad! ”

Qiu Long had nothing to say, he knew that although this matter was not intended at the time, it was the original intention when he planned it. It has been a big mistake, which has led to Fez's blind revenge, which has involved Deepley's years of hard work, and he will always be haunted!

"Do you know how the world works? Never trust anyone, including me, unless we have a common goal! Although this sentence is a bit contradictory, you must remember, child! In the career I have devoted my life to, I am accustomed to seeing the ruthlessness of the world, the betrayal of friends, the departure of relatives, and the belief that the mission must be achieved, and you will meet it in the future! You haven't thought deeply about how the power that Deepley has been operating for decades can be eliminated in just a few hours, is the government really that powerful? Qiu Ren said.

"Yes, if you are really my father, then I have already experienced the alienation of my relatives!" Qiu Long said coldly.

"Yes! I don't deny it! Qiu Ren said.

"Although today is the first time our father and son have met, it won't be too long! I have been hidden in this world for too long, and I have witnessed the imprisoning side of human nature in this seemingly peaceful underground world, and I have also experienced the free side of thought in that harsh world on the ground. Right and wrong are often relative, and good and evil are often in the same thought, which varies from person to person. You must be convinced that we are different from other people, we are a group of people with ideals and beliefs, and we are also a group of people who do not succumb to any unfree will! Our cause doesn't care about sacrificing a small number of people, we have a long-term goal! ”

"Child, this is also your mission! You were born with this mark, whether you accept it now or not, but you will eventually be led by fate to this irreversible path! He will be with you for the rest of your life and will not change until you leave this world! ”

Qiu Long's heart is mixed, and his mind is in a mess! He does not want to accept this fact, and what is freedom if he imposes a will on others? Do you think that lofty ambitions are more meaningful than those who work hard and work hard to live?

He can't say that he knows very well that it is not easy to change a person, and it will be a more difficult choice and sacrifice to break the new order!

Qiu Ren stood up and took out a file from his desk drawer and handed it to Qiu Long. When Qiu Long took it, he saw the words "Qiu Long Scroll" written on the file, Qiu Long was quite surprised, and when he opened the file and flipped through it, he was shocked again: the directory inside was the detailed information of the five members of Qiu Long's small team, the details of the information, the clarity of the incident, and the thorough analysis, as if it had been filed by a professional intelligence department. Everyone's date of birth, family situation, and growth events are recorded, and even those that Qiu Long forgot or didn't know when he was a child are recorded in detail, and the latest date is the information on the hiding place of the five after sniping Deepley. The intel actually recorded exactly where they were hiding. When he flipped to Julia, he saw some information and frowned. Among the information inside, Yang Yao is the least, and some descriptions are marked with question marks. He was so confused that he didn't analyze it too much.

Qiu Ren did not specify what his goals were, but he indirectly expressed his beliefs and the forces he represented.

He is the rebel, the antithesis of the real government.

Qiu Long finished talking about the meeting with Qiu Ren in one breath, and several partners were stunned again when they listened! Scar came back to his senses at this moment and said in a muffled voice: "It's a big deal!" I never expected that a shot would collapse the whole world! ”

Everyone thinks, this guy is not rough! It's this result.

Julia suddenly said, "Why is this note only written about me and not about anyone else?" Am I special? I'm not going to be another daughter of his, am I? ”

Qiu Long was hesitant about this question, and he didn't say why, but said that it might have been written casually by Qiu Ren, and he knew that Qiu Long cared about each partner.

Yang Yao looked at Julia and said, "His father probably knows that you care about the boss the most, so he wrote your name!" ”

Julia's face turned red, and she picked up the pillow she was holding in her arms and smashed it towards Yang Yao, "If you talk nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!" She snapped.

Qiu Long's heart was agitated, and the Julia chapter in that dossier clearly analyzed that there were words "This woman admires the dragon". At this time, a thought swished through his mind, "Why is there so little information about the old man?" Immediately, the thought was short-lived, and he disappeared without care!

"You just listened to the three questions I asked at the beginning, and the first and third answers are obvious, at this time, the game between the government and the rebels, in the end, we are still relatively safe; The second question must have been guessed, the people of Fez did not retaliate against us, it was not that they did not find us, but that the tenacious forces secretly helped us resolve it, and he has been protecting us! Qiu Long was not used to this sudden arrival of his father, so he still called him by his first name.

Glasses said, "Yes! These three questions have been analyzed clearly! There is really a feeling of sudden enlightenment of "pushing aside the dark clouds and seeing the bright moon, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village"! Then it's time for the boss to plan for the future, maybe we're no longer safe! ”

Julia grinned, "It's sour again!" Then his expression darkened, "But, having said that, where are the dark clouds and the bright moon, will we have a chance to see them in this life?" ”

Qiu Long thought for a while and said, "The glasses are right! Now we are in a very disadvantaged position, not only by the government, but also by the rebels. We are caught between these two forces, but we are powerless to resist. We used to be pawns in the game between the two of them, and we were used by them for all kinds of experiments, but we were still in the dark during the whole process, which is really infuriating to think about! Speaking of the word "chess piece", his heart suddenly throbbed, and a terrible thought came to him: his father had known for a long time that the government was using the deal to test Deepley, so why didn't he warn Deepley earlier? Father had plenty of time and measures to tell Deepley, and even to meet him in advance, that Deepley's death could have been avoided, but why didn't he do it? Could it be that my father has been using us to test the government?

Qiu Long stopped, picked up his glass and drank the rest of the wine, looked at Scar, and motioned for him to continue!

Scar stood up, poured some wine for the dragon, looked at the dragon, shook his head, and sighed again. Qiu Long asked him, "What's wrong with you!" ”

Scar said, "I know your situation now!" But I don't say it, and my friends know it! ”

Dippley was killed, and Qiu Long had always been very concerned, even though he would not blame everyone, now everyone knew the reason, but the wood was already in the boat, the raw rice had been cooked into cooked rice, and the result could not be changed. The truth of the matter is in front of everyone, even though the government wants to get rid of Deepley, but still does not do it himself, but kills people with a knife, and uses the power of the opponent to get rid of the opponent. If the dragon does not kill Deepley, the government can conclude that the dragon is at least in league with Deepley, and the government will immediately surround the warehouse, and the two have little chance of escaping; If Deepley had been killed on the spot, the government might not have suspected the identity of the dragon for the time being, but Deepley had been killed. Either way, Deepley's hopes of escaping or surviving are slim. It's just "killing people"!

Qiu Long's mind has been seen through by everyone! He had blamed Deepley's death on his own, but now he had access to his father, the ruthless man. Now, he blames Deepley's death for his father.

"Yes! My situation is clear to everyone! I used to think that a person's life and death are just a person, but now it seems that this is far from the case. We are all a group of people who are trying to survive, and we don't have their kind of forbearance and grand goals. I'll admit that I was wrong on this point, seeing through life and death is relatively simple, but the kind of additional damage that comes from life and death is the most frightening. "If you want to wear a crown, bear its weight first", I understand this truth now! ”

"Buddies! We are in a very dangerous situation right now, and we assume that the government probably already knows about our relationship and may act soon. For now, we should go into hid again and continue to stop all trading activities for the sake of safety. We may be able to hide from the government, but we shouldn't be able to hide from Qiu Ren, but don't worry, he shouldn't embarrass us! ”

"I'm feeling a little tired and a little tired after the recent incident, let's find a place to rest for a while!"

Although he said that, Qiu Long knew that no matter the ends of the world, his father would always look for him, convince himself, and follow him on the road of destiny!

The five of them immediately discussed that they had to find a place beyond the reach of the government's whip, hide peacefully for a while, and think carefully about their future plans. As for Qiu Ren's side, they don't have to worry about it at the moment, after all, it is the boss's father, and he won't harm them!
