Chapter 55: Changing the Mind and Changing the Court
On the day Chen Meng was released from prison, Brother Liang rented an Audi, drove to the gate of the provincial prison alone, and waited quietly for an hour.
This is very similar to the plot in Hong Kong films, and it is also a scene that Brother Liang loves. Because Hong Kong-made films have always been Liangge's favorite, especially Hong Kong-made gangster films.
Everyone in Fenglin Town knows that Brother Liang's imitation of Little Brother Ma in "The True Color of Heroes" has reached a pathological level.
Chen Meng came out of prison at around 2 p.m. At this time, Brother Liang was leaning on the front of the Audi, wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, and the usual standard equipment was the same; He lit a cigarette, squinted upwards at a forty-five degree angle, and waited for Chen Meng to walk over.
Chen Meng stood under the sun at the door, squinted at the cool brother not far away, twitched the corners of his mouth, and whispered two words:
"Silly B."
Chen Meng didn't speak all the way after that. Picking up soap for two years has made him a lot more silent. When he walked to Brother Liang's side, he still didn't speak, and he didn't even say a polite greeting. He only threw simple luggage into the trunk and threw his body into the back seat of the car.
Brother Liang was a little confused. He didn't expect that he would drive himself to take over and get out of prison, but the other party's performance was so cold, there was no common hugging and intimacy plot in Hong Kong films. After Brother Liang was stunned, he felt very faceless, and couldn't help but be a little angry, threw away the cigarette butt, and scolded:
"Your sister's."
As soon as the words came out, I saw that Chen Meng's face was relatively gloomy, without a trace of joy at regaining freedom, but with a more atmosphere of desperate work with others at any time. Brother Liang felt a little empty in his heart, and immediately changed his words:
"Are you hungry? Would you like to go get something to eat first? ”
The corners of Chen Meng's mouth were crooked, he smiled gloomily, and replied weakly:
"Go home. If you're interested in things near the prison, you might as well go in and stay for a while. ”
Brother Liang had no choice but to get into the driver's seat, and before starting the car, he turned around again, stared at Chen Meng and asked:
"What did you say when you first walked out the gate?"
Chen Meng closed his eyes and rested:
"Didn't say anything."
Brother Liang does not forgive:
"You said, I obviously saw your mouth moving, as if you were cursing. There's no one else here, you're not scolding me, are you? ”
Chen Meng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were shining, and he sneered:
"Fuck you, when did you become so suspicious?"
Brother Liang stopped talking stupidly, started the car, and turned around and drove towards Fenglin Town.
Along the way, Brother Liang wanted to find a chance to chat with Chen Meng several times, and when he looked up at the rearview mirror, Chen Meng had been closing his eyes and recuperating, looking unwilling to be disturbed. He had to endure what he wanted to say and concentrate on driving.
When he was nearly halfway there, Brother Liang finally couldn't hold back and raised his voice to open his mouth:
"Brother, I have fulfilled all the conditions you offered. Now should you tell me where the game scraps are? ”
Chen Meng's eyes didn't open, he only smiled faintly, and answered the question:
"Just blow it. Did you do it? ”
Brother Liang is angry:
"It doesn't matter who did it. Anyway, when you come out, you have to keep your promise and tell the whereabouts of the scraps of the game. ”
Chen Meng looked indifferent:
"You've been waiting for a year, and you're still in a hurry?"
Brother Liang choked. After that, there was no word all the way. Back in Fenglin Town, Brother Liang didn't ask Chen Meng's opinion, and drove directly to the Royal Hotel. There, he had already ordered Erjo, biscuits, loaches and bird feathers, booked a private room, and worked together to catch Chen Meng's wind.
But when the car drove to a street corner, Chen Meng suddenly said in the back seat:
"Parking. I'm down here. ”
Brother Liang didn't stop, just pulled over and slowed down:
"Don't go down, we've got a position over there, and the brothers are preparing to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you. Let's have a good time tonight. ”
Unexpectedly, Chen Meng kicked on the back of the chair and coldly ordered:
"Fuck park me!"
Brother Liang finally understood that Chen Meng, who was sitting in the back seat, was a complete stranger. And, as the mysterious big man said, this is a stranger to be reckoned with.
If it was normal, Brother Liang would have already spittled and even started to beat people, but this time he inexplicably held back this breath.
Brother Liang stopped the car, Chen Meng got out of the car and shook the car door, then turned around and walked away.
Brother Liang was stunned on the side of the road for a long time, until a traffic policeman came and knocked on the car window and ordered in a cold tone like Chen Meng:
"You can't park here for a long time, hurry up and leave, or you will be fined."
Brother Liang drove aimlessly forward, and at the same time called Bird Feather, telling him to cancel the celebration that night and go back to their respective homes. A few guys on the other side thought they could take a big sip, but when they heard that the event was canceled, they didn't know what was going on, so they had to scold and disperse.
Chen Meng didn't go back to his original residence that day, nor did he go to the hotel to open a room, but found Brother Biao's house around the bush and banged the door loudly.
It was nine o'clock in the evening, and Brother Biao was making tea naked at home alone. Hearing someone knocking on the door, he put down the kettle and scolded at the door:
"Stuff your mother, you don't ring the doorbell, but you want to smash my door. I have a grudge against you, huh? ”
He walked over and opened the door, rubbing his eyes three times before he saw that this person did have an enmity with him, because the person standing at the door was actually Chen Meng, who he hadn't seen for a long time. The last time Brother Biao saw him was in the visitation room of the provincial prison a year ago, and the atmosphere was quite unfriendly at that time.
Brother Biao suddenly saw Chen Meng in the middle of the night, and his first reaction was to turn around and run away, and his second reaction was to find a piece of clothing to put on his body, because he was still naked.
But before he had time to react, Chen Meng took the lead in smiling gloomily, indicating his intention:
"Brother Biao, I'll mess with you from now on."
Brother Biao was stunned on the spot, neither turned around and ran away, nor did he go to dress. The scene was like a huge toad, suddenly encountering a poisonous snake, and it was so frightened that it was captured.
Seeing that Brother Biao didn't speak, Chen Meng slammed his fist on the door, and the corners of his mouth grinned again:
"What? Not welcome? ”
Brother Biao woke up like a dream, took a step back, opened the door that was only half open, nodded his head, and laughed:
"Welcome, welcome, come in."
After Chen Meng entered the door, Brother Biao had a series of questions in his mind, but he didn't know which one to ask first, because he was used to telling stories, his eloquence was excellent, but at the moment he behaved like a second under Brother Liang, stammering for a long time, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Chen Meng threw down his luggage, put up his hands, and looked at Brother Biao back and forth from top to bottom with the eyes of a cat looking at a mouse. Brother Biao quickly gave up his desire to ask, went to the room and put on some clothes and walked out. Adjusted his mood and asked:
"How about a cigarette, or a cup of tea?"
Chen Meng's answer this time is different from all of Brother Biao's subordinates, but it completely fits Brother Biao's temperament:
"Smoking is bad for your health. Bring me a cup of tea. ”
Since then, Chen Meng and Brother Biao have become close friends, one is taciturn and the other loves to tell stories, but the two have a common hobby: drinking tea. Later, the characters in Fenglin Town often saw such a scene:
Brother Biao and Chen Meng sat facing each other, one holding a teacup in his hand, which was filled with black tea like urine, one talking endlessly, and the other listening with a serious face. As soon as I said it, I dealt with a lot of major affairs in the rivers and lakes.
A few days later, Zhou Weiliang finally blocked Chen Meng in an alley where he was eating breakfast.
On the day Brother Liang picked up Chen Meng from prison, he was angry in his heart. Chen Meng has been missing for the past few days, so Brother Liang's anger has not been able to disperse. Not only does it not disperse, but it continues to inflate like a balloon.
When Brother Liang saw Chen Meng this day, the balloon in his heart was about to burst. Therefore, he ignored that the other party had changed people, and he didn't care that this place was a public place to save face for the other party, and stretched out his signature sword point, so he scolded:
"Your sister's, you're growing, and you're playing with me and disappearing?"
Chen Meng didn't raise his head, still eating his breakfast, slowly swallowing a mouthful of rice noodles, and then said nonchalantly:
"In this shabby town, who else can scare me to the point of disappearing?"
Brother Liang was stunned for a long time before he continued to be ruthless with insufficient confidence: "Why don't you come to see me?" ”
Chen Meng immediately asked, "Why should I go to see you?" ”
This question completely confused Brother Liang. Since his debut, he has never heard his subordinates speak to him like this, and he doesn't know how to deal with such a scene at this moment.
Chen Meng finished his last bite of rice noodles before announcing to Brother Liang:
"Originally, there was no need to make a special explanation, but since I saw it, I thought I would like to tell you: Remember, I am no longer your little brother. Don't yell at me again, that's rude. ”
Brother Liang was still stunned, turned around and found a stool, sat down firmly in front of Chen Meng, and then said incoherently:
"Your sister, just leave, don't say hello? Is there still a sense of community? Is there any righteousness in the rivers and lakes? ”
Chen Meng laughed:
"It's like you've got a legal organization. I haven't signed any contract or agreement with you to sell my body, a free body, why do I have to say hello to you when I want to leave? ”
Brother Liang was ridiculed like this, but he calmed down, leaned back, leaned back in the chair, no longer vain, no longer righteous words, only a long sigh:
"When did you decide not to mess with me?"
Chen Meng smiled:
"When I was sentenced to 15 years in prison two years ago, we didn't have much to do with each other."
Brother Liang:
"I didn't offend you two years ago. You're in jail for killing the old man by mistake and setting it on fire the next day. ”
Chen Meng gritted his teeth:
"I accidentally injured the old man because I helped you find some chess game scraps, and I didn't put the fire at all. You could have used the connections behind me to get me out. But you don't even want to do such a trivial thing as helping me find a lawyer, so why are you embarrassed to talk to me about righteousness? ”
Brother Liang is once again lacking in confidence:
"Didn't I get you out now?"
Chen Meng sneered:
"Let me make it clear again, it was the chess game scrap that made me, not you. Don't think you've done me a great favor, I don't accept your affection. ”
Brother Liang stared at Chen Meng for a long time, and wanted to lose his temper, but his temper was like the so-called true qi in martial arts novels, which circulated in his body for a week, and then returned to his dantian. Brother Liang finally said with a little sadness:
"Okay, tell me the whereabouts of that chess game scrap, and we'll part ways completely."
Chen Meng spread his hands, revealing a hanging-up expression:
"If I don't say anything, won't we be able to part ways?"
Brother Liang was finally enraged, picked up a plate on the table, slammed it on the ground, pointed at Chen and scolded:
"Your mother, don't think that once you enter the prison cell, you will become a golden-bodied Arhat, and no one will dare to touch you. I can get you out, I can get you in again, believe it or not? ”
Chen Meng tore a tissue to wipe his mouth, still hanging on:
"Don't bluff me, brother Liang. I would have been sentenced to fifteen years, and my whole life was ruined, in other words, every day I live freely outside now is counted as extra earning. If anyone wants to play with me and make me uncomfortable, I can do anything, and it's just a matter of making a few days less. Anyway, I'm used to staying inside, it's about the same as a vacation. ”
Brother Liang was stunned again. The temper is like practicing internal skills, running around in the body, but it can't be vented. It made him want to cry without tears.
At this moment, the owner of the breakfast shop came over and said with a face full of grievances:
"You two come down to it, don't smash my plate. With my small business, I can't make this plate back in the morning. ”
Brother Liang stood up, raised his foot and was about to kick the little boss. Chen Meng hurriedly pulled the boss back, and at the same time blocked Brother Liang with one hand, and persuaded:
"Brother Liang, what kind of hero is he who has anger coming at me and bullying small businessmen?"
After the boss left, Chen Meng sat down again, sighed and said:
"Well, don't say I'm not keeping my word. I'll give you a clue as to where the pieces of the game are going, so that you can make a good deal. Don't bother me from now on. ”
When Brother Liang heard that things suddenly took a turn for the better, he suppressed his anger and sat down obediently. Chen propped himself on the table, leaned forward, lowered his voice and said:
"The day after the old man was stabbed, a man went to the shipyard in the western suburbs earlier than me. He was the last person to see the old man, and he should have set the fire. The chess game is a fragment of a chess game, and it must be on this person. Believe it or not. ”
Brother Liang was stunned on the spot, feeling that what Chen Meng said meant that he didn't say it.
