On that day, in addition to receiving labor orders from Huaxin Factory at the hospital, Zeng Rui and the others also received another uninvited guest.

"In three days, we have collected three hundred thousand yuan to compensate my third brother for his losses. I will come back in three days. If I don't see the money, I'm sorry, but no one involved will be able to escape."

A young man from Li Xiao's company walked into the ward wearing a black suit and carrying a leather bag. He pointed at Dai Kaiming and Luo Yuchun and left.

Originally, the three of them were already a little confused because they were fired from Huaxin Factory, and they didn't know where to go. The arrival of Li Xiao's people undoubtedly gave Dai Kaiming and Luo Yuchun another head-on blow.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Dai, I have to go."

After the three fell into silence, the kidnapper was the first to speak.

"Where to go?" Zeng Rui asked casually.

The kidnapper shook his head and said: "I don't know where I'm going yet, but I know I can't stay. Even if you kill me, I can't afford to pay back three hundred thousand! I'm alone and have nothing to worry about.

It doesn’t matter where you are.”

His tone was free and easy, but he still couldn't hide the sadness in the corners of his eyes.

The kid is not from the Seven Cities. He is one of the first lucky ones to enter the Seven Cities when the apocalypse comes. In addition, he has enough brains to get such a stable job in the Huaxin Factory. With his age of twenty-seven or eight, it stands to reason that

It was said that An Xin could work peacefully for two years, and even if he could not be promoted to a line supervisor, he would at least be able to form a happy family. But all of this was lost because of the loyalty of his brothers.

After Li Zhiyong showed his last face in the hospital, no one has seen him again. The person who swore that he would be responsible and the main person responsible for the things he would handle has long since disappeared from people's sight and has not been heard from again.

Compared with the free and easy kidnapper, Xiao Dai fell into complete silence. Zeng Rui tried to enlighten him, but Xiao Dai waved his hand and only said that he wanted to be quiet. The kidnapper, who was almost recovered, invited Zeng Rui to go out with him.

Have a drink and practice it all for yourself.

Guaizi, who was always talkative at the wine table, rarely spoke. The two of them communicated more through the collision of two transparent glasses. Although Guaizi could drink some, he was definitely not a good drinker.

But this night, his repeated actions were like the machinery on the assembly line, raising his glass and pouring wine.

"Xiao Wu, brother, I feel unwilling."

By the end of the drink, the kid was full of alcohol and his eyes were red. He patted the table with suppressed emotions and whispered to Zeng Rui.

Zeng Rui nodded. He could completely understand what Guaizi was thinking. Not only Guaizi but also Xiao Dai were very disdainful of Li Zhiyong's behavior.

He took out his wallet from his pocket and placed three thousand yuan on the wine table. He pushed it towards the kidnapper and said in a low voice: "Brother kidnapper, I won't send you away if you leave. We haven't known each other for a long time.

You are tall, but you have a good temper. People say what you are like, but I know you are really good to me. We have eyes and we can see people and things by ourselves. Brothers can't help you.

Busy, these three thousand yuan will be used as some travel expenses provided by Xiao Wu. Here, Xiao Wu wishes Brother Guaizi great success in the future!"

The kid's tears slipped from the corners of his eyes. After wiping them with his sleeves, he gave Zeng Rui a big hug: "Brother, as long as I don't die, if I can come back here one day, I will definitely repay you thousands of times."

!”

Zeng Rui bared his teeth and said, "Brothers don't talk about rewards. Next time you come back, please invite me to the seventh floor of Sea Cube to see the world!"

The two smiled at each other and parted. The kidnapper disappeared into the night wrapped in his coat, and it was many years before they met again.

Three days later, Li Xiaomazai, who was wearing a suit and tie and thought he was an extraordinary person, came to the hospital again, and Xiao Dai's family had indeed scraped together 300,000 in cash and took it away directly.

Xiao Dai is a native of Qicheng. He has his ancestral home in the suburbs. On weekdays, his father has an engineering team that he can do some minor jobs in the suburbs, and his mother works at a gas station in the suburbs, so the conditions are not bad.

Such a happy family was smashed to pieces because of Xiao Dai's stabbing at his brothers' expense.

In Qicheng, where land is at a premium, her parents lived frugally and bought a two-bedroom apartment for Xiao Dai to use for her wedding. They could only sell it at a low price to raise money, and used it to find neighbors near home and go door to door begging grandpa and grandma.

Finally got enough money together.

The kidnapper could run away alone, but he, Dai Kaiming, could not leave. In addition to himself, his family also included his parents and relatives of his grandparents' generation.

Three hundred thousand is indeed a large amount of money, but he, Dai Kaiming, cannot abandon everything for this three hundred thousand. The young man who came to the hospital to talk was indeed nothing to be afraid of, but he came here under the name Li Xiao

, Dai Kaiming and his family would have to accept even if they tried to use a tiger's skin as a banner to pretend to be a tiger. Because of Li Xiao's name, there were very few people in Qicheng even in the suburbs, and ordinary people couldn't afford to offend him.

At Lao Xu's funeral, Secretary Cai choked up several times while speaking as the chairman of the funeral committee. First, he told the story of Lao Xu's ordinary but extraordinary life, and praised him from the perspective of an employee of Huaxin Factory. May he be able to bless Huaxin in the spirit of heaven.

The factory can sail smoothly and continue to strive for glory.

Lao Xu's funeral, Luo Zhiqi, Cao and Zeng Rui all went. To be precise, the former wanted to accompany Zeng Rui. Since the kidnapper left Xiao Dai and was taken home, Zeng Rui had nowhere to go.

The three of them hung out together.

Regarding Lao Xu's death, the three of them were all considered to be the ones who knew the inside story. Seeing Secretary Cai's tearful performance on the stage, they all had a sneer on their lips.

Zeng Rui thought in his heart: If there really is a spirit in heaven in this world, Secretary Cai, I'm afraid you will have trouble sleeping and eating, right?

Standing in the crowd at the memorial service was a somewhat special guest. He was the old leader whom Lao Xu trusted. It can be said that he was able to sit where he is today, and spare no effort to support Lao Xu from behind, asking for money at critical moments.

Giving money requires effort, which is inseparable.

And Lao Xu was able to sit firmly at the top of the Huaxin Factory. No matter how reformed or restructured, he could firmly hold the Huaxin Factory in his hands. This was also because he had the support of the old leaders, and he was able to speak so forcefully.

, the reason why you can even ignore other people at certain times.

The old leader's eyes were solemn, and he didn't know what happened to Lao Xu during this period. As the second-in-command in the district, and he was about to abdicate and let Xian return home for retirement, he was concerned about many things.

No questions asked.

Lao Xu happened to have already made up his mind to visit the old leader, but he died before he could take action.

As a superior and subordinate for many years, the old leader is also a teacher and a friend. The old leader is very familiar with Lao Xu’s character. Lao Xu has developed a consistent rigorous style of the army, and he will abide by the rules no matter how he behaves or does things. This seemingly ordinary incident

Car accidents always made him feel a little surprised, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

In addition, he couldn't figure out that Secretary Cai took over the position of factory director before Old Xu's body was cold. In any case, there should at least be a process of re-election of the acting factory director, but why is he not even willing to go through the process now?

Already.

With the acumen of his many years of political career, he realized that there must be something fishy in this. He, a capable general, had struggled for most of his life, but in the end he died miserably. So even if he spent all his strength, he would still have to do it.

Let him be punished!
