"Before we opened this shop, it was always an antique shop opened by my father, Gao Ting's grandfather, but one day it ......"

———— Xuzu District and Commercial District Market 30 years ago

"Really, fake, wow? Mafia? What the hell is that? An old man asked, wiping down the antiques in his hand

"I don't know where the black organization came from, I heard that from today onwards, they will control this commercial area!" Another old man chatting with the old man said

The old man put down the rag in his hand to wipe the antiques, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He walked to the door of the store and looked at the bustling crowd on the street, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart. This business district has been engaged in this business area for generations, but now a mafia has suddenly appeared, which makes his heart a little heavy.

"So, you have to be careful in this antique shop! Otherwise, if you offend them at that time, the consequences will be unimaginable! The old man said

"Abba! I am back! ”

While the two elders were chatting, Gao Hao, who was working outside in his 20s, happened to come back from work.

"Ah Hao is back? Have you ever heard of something called Mafia around here? I've heard they're cruel! The old man asked Gao Hao

"Mafia? What for? Gao Hao asked with a puzzled expression

"It seems to be a black organization that specializes in bullying people and collecting protection money, you have been opening a store here for so many years, you have to be careful!" The old man finished speaking and left

"Abba, is he telling the truth?" Gao Hao asked the old man

"I don't know, but our Gao family has been here for generations, no matter what organization it is, I will not give up here," the old man said

“…… I know Abba, I'll be with you! Gao Hao said

"Hmmm......"

The next day, Gao Hao went to work as always, he forgot about the mafia, he didn't care about this kind of black organization at all, if it was really that terrible, would the people of the three major sects not take action? That's what he thought in his heart, but ......

"Ah Hao, why don't you go for a drink today? I'm in for a treat! Gao Hao's colleague invited him to go for a drink with him.

"Uh...... Go and go, it's a big deal to go home later," Gao Hao said

"Let's go!"

The two of them went to a tavern to have a drink, and the two of them, after a hard day's work, were feeling the pleasure of alcohol, and perhaps only now could they relieve the fatigue they had accumulated all day.

"By the way, have you heard of the mafia?" Gao Hao asked while drinking

"Mafia? What for? Is it also a factory? ”

"No, I just heard that there is a group called the Black Market Party that has suddenly appeared recently, and they will bully the people and something like that," Gao Hao said

"Really? I haven't heard of it! ”

"Okay...... Keep drinking......"

“OK！”

The two drank until late at night, and the drunk Gao Hao was swaying left and right, staggering home, but as he walked, he found that his store was not closed.

"Abba, you haven't slept yet, have you?"

When he walked back and opened the door, the scene in front of him instantly sobered up, only to see the old man lying on the ground motionless, the store was also destroyed, countless antiques fell to the ground, none of them were complete, but Gao Hao's antiques, he hurriedly dropped his belongings, picked up the old man and ran to the nearest hospital.

"Abba! You can't do anything! What if you have one...... What should I do? ”

Gao Hao ran into the hospital while crying, and the nurse on the night shift immediately took his father on his back and put him in the ambulance and pushed him to the rescue room, while Gao Hao could only wait anxiously outside the door.

"Da-"

After waiting for a while, the waiting room went out, and the doctors walked out with relief.

"Doctor! How's my dad? Gao Hao anxiously grabbed the doctor and asked

"Your father's current situation is not very optimistic, and he needs to be hospitalized for a period of time to observe, you go to the front desk to go through the hospitalization procedures" The doctor left after putting down his words, and Gao Hao walked to the emergency room and looked at his father who was lying motionless on the hospital bed through the glass, and his heart was full of self-blame.

"If I hadn't gone drinking! It wouldn't have happened! What a fool I am! Why go drinking! Gao Hao knelt on the ground and slapped himself wildly, until his face was swollen and his nose bleeded, he understood that now was not the time to blame himself, and the primary purpose now was to save his father's life.

"Is there a mistake? How much does it cost to stay in the hospital for 6,000 yuan a day? Aren't you guys robbing money? Gao Hao looked at the hospitalization information in his hand and said angrily

"The price is not set by us, and this is set by the upper leadership, you have any problems to find the leader yourself!" The nurse who went through the formalities said with a look of disdain

"Tsk...... ! It's annoying! ”

Gao Hao ran out of the hospital angrily, his primary goal now is to make money, without money can not save his father's life, he began to call at the door of the hospital, asked all the relatives and friends around him, but the result was only borrowed, 9000 yuan, but this is far from enough, 6000 yuan a day, he no longer knows what to do.

"Dididi-Didi-" At this time, his mobile phone rang, it was his ex, who had divorced him less than 1 year after marrying him.

"Hey......" Gao Hao picked up the phone

"I've already completed the formalities on my daughter's side, and the court has decided to hand it over to you for support, don't come to me again in the future, go over with your little cutie!" The other end of the line said this and hung up.

"Please! God, why are you doing this to me! Gao Hao sat at the door of the hospital with a resentful body and fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn, and he returned to the factory where he worked, and the factory director reported the situation at home.

"Huh? No way? Who did it? The factory director asked with a shocked expression

"I don't know...... Probably the mafia they say! The money in the store is gone! I suspect that they came to the store to collect protection money, and then Abba didn't give it, and the mafia people shot at him! Gao Hao said excitedly

"Don't get excited, for the sake of you being here for more than two years, so let's do it, I'll lend you 20,000, and you will pay me back when you have money in the future, okay?" The factory director patted Gao Hao on the shoulder and said

"Thank you, Director! I will definitely pay it back! Gao Hao rushed to the hospital with the money, but when he seemed to see hope and ran to the hospital to pay part of the hospitalization fee, the doctor gave him bad news.

"Your father's heart stopped beating at 9:40 a.m., and we're sorry we didn't save his life...... the doctor said to Gao Hao

"How...... How could it be...... Abba...... Dead ......" The cash in Gao Hao's hand was scattered all over the ground, he knelt on the ground, unable to let go for a long time, maybe at this moment, he felt extremely desperate.

"Mafia! I'm going to kill you! Gao Hao ran out of the hospital in a rage, he took a sum of money and ran to a knife point, bought two sharp machetes, and then after asking around for information, he finally found some men who were about to collect protection money from a fruit store one afternoon.

"Hey! Mother-in-law! I advise you to get acquainted! Don't force us to do it! A yellow-haired man said with a baseball bat on his shoulder

"Give...... To you...... Don't do it! The fruit seller took out a wad of banknotes from her bag and gave it to Huang Mao, and the passers-by on the side only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, because they knew the horror of the mafia.

"Mafia!" Gao Hao suddenly raised his machete and cut it at the mafia

"Uhhh

"Ahhhh

Suddenly, blood spilled all over the street, Gao Hao continued to cut the mafia, until a total of 8 people were hacked to death by him on the street, at this time, the security guards patrolling the business district heard the sound and rushed to arrest Gao Hao.

"Hey, put down the machete! Follow us to the police station! The security guard took out a stick and warned Gao Hao

"Huh...... What were you doing when my Abba was hurt by them? Yes! Tell me! Why didn't anyone save me, Abba! Gao Hao roared angrily, and then he put down the machete, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, the security guard had never seen such a strange scene, so he had to call the relevant departments to take Gao Hao away.

———— Xuzu District Court

In the courthouse, Gao Hao is being tried by a judge for this murder.

"Gao Hao, you are suspected of intentional homicide and injured so-and-so...... Wait for 8 people, and the court will decide to sentence you to death! The judge said

"No, Judge! Those little thugs did it on purpose! They charge protection money from nearby residents, don't you care? The grandmother who sells fruit said

"Yes, yes! They only came to collect our protection money a few days ago, are they still reasonable? Said the man who sold shoes

"My family too, if you don't give them to them, they will start smashing my store, is there any reason for heaven? Is there still a law? Said the woman who sold the furniture

"Where is there no surveillance, why do you say that they are our people?" Said the mafia

"That's right! What of you are fighting for protection money, and that's our people? ”

"If you have the ability, come up with evidence!"

"It's clearly you! Still quibbling here! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! You're right! ”

The quarrel in the court became more and more intense, but due to insufficient evidence, and the mafia lawyers were prepared, the people could only admit defeat, and Gao Hao's case, because of insufficient evidence, plus his father's matter, and his daughter's matter added up, out of humanitarianism, plus the people were upset about Gao Hao, the court finally ruled that Gao Hao was acquitted.

The mafia didn't take this matter to heart, because in their eyes, they just lost a few errand boys, and in order to ask the three major factions and the court, they were all fully prepared, so that people had no way to take them.

After this incident, Gao Hao took over his daughter from his predecessor, that is, Gao Ting, and he borrowed 20,000 yuan from the factory director to simply renovate his father's store and turn it into a small restaurant, and the kitchen equipment was bought second-hand, but this store supported the living expenses of Gao Hao and Gao Ting's father and daughter over the years.
