As soon as the phone rang, Lu Xiaoyu took the sketchbook from my hand and asked me to answer the phone.
This call was from Mr. Zhao, and I didn’t dare to be too negligent. After the call was connected, I greeted him politely: “Mr. Zhao, are you calling so late?”
Second Master Zhao said with a "haha" smile: "Yi Feng, you are now a great figure in the northern region. Xingzhou in Hebei Province, north of Datong in Shanxi Province, and the former Hongmen and Wen Gang territories in Shaanxi have all been destroyed.
The name of your Hongxiang Club."
Although Mr. Zhao's tone sounded very kind, I could still hear the faint smell of gunpowder in it.
However, our Hongxiang Club has experienced successive wars, and now it has finally calmed down. I don’t want to be hostile to anyone anymore, so I still asked in a friendly manner: "Mr. Zhao, thank you."
Mr. Zhao paused and said, "Yi Feng, in fact, when you returned to Xingzhou today, I thought about sending someone to pick you up, but due to some minor problems within our Qinggang, things were delayed.
Yes, I hope you can forgive me."
What Second Master Zhao said was half true and half false. I was a little confused about what he was going to say to me, so I lost my patience and asked him directly: "Second Master Zhao, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. You
This call is for..."
Mr. Zhao interrupted me and said, "Yi Feng, that's cool. I have three things to call you this time."
The three things made me feel dizzy when I heard about them. It was definitely not a trivial matter for Mr. Zhao to call me personally, and there were three of them at once. It’s no wonder that I don’t feel dizzy.
Mr. Zhao continued: "The first thing is that the Aoke Group we are cooperating with will now officially go into production. We may have to renegotiate some of the interests and division of labor involved."
"Renegotiate?" I didn't understand what Second Master Zhao meant.
Mr. Zhao said: "I'm afraid you already know what this company does. I don't need to say more about the benefits involved. I won't give you any official talk here. Our Qinggang is willing to transfer part of our
The shares are given to you, making you the largest shareholder of Aoke."
There is no free lunch in this world. If Mr. Zhao can give me such a big benefit, I'm afraid there will be a big condition waiting for me, so I asked him directly: "What's the condition?"
Mr. Zhao laughed "haha" and said, "Come on, madman, I really saw you right. This condition is the second thing I want to discuss with you."
I said "yes" to indicate for him to continue. Mr. Zhao paused for a moment, and then slowly said: "The second thing is that I want you to help me kill someone, two people to be exact.
,No, it’s three!”
I interrupted Mr. Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhao, you have changed your mind twice now and have spoken three times."
Second Master Zhao said with a "haha" smile: "As we get older, we tend to get confused about many things."
Mr. Zhao is a powerful spokesman for the Hebei Qinggang. The person he asked me to kill was probably a very ordinary person, so naturally I couldn’t agree rashly. However, it seemed a little bad to directly reject Mr. Zhao’s words, so I asked him.
"Second Master Zhao, who makes you hate me so much? You might as well tell me and listen. If it is within the scope of my ability, Yifeng, I will not refuse. But if it is beyond our scope of my ability, then Mr. Zhao, don't do it either."
Blame me."
Mr. Zhao smiled and said: "The first of these three people is Golden Mountain!"
When I heard Mr. Zhao say the name of Huangjinshan, I was stunned. Isn't this Huangjinshan the second-in-command of the Hebei Youth Gang and a direct subordinate of Mr. Zhao?
"Mr. Zhao, did I hear correctly?" I still didn't believe my ears.
At this time, I had already walked to the desk in the room and moved a stool to sit down, because I felt that the call would not end so soon.
Lu Xiaoyu also noticed the situation, so he poured me a glass of water, and then ran to make my bed and quilt. Alas, this call from Mr. Zhao was really inappropriate.
After being distracted for a short time, I heard Mr. Zhao continue to say: "Yi Feng, you heard it right, it is indeed the Golden Mountain. Huang San, he was indeed loyal to me in the past. I also trusted him very much and gave him a lot of money."
He has little power, but in the past year or so, I have discovered that he is very close to Zhao Yu and Qing Hong in private, and I have also received accurate information that the three of them are conspiring to seize my position and attempt to dominate the Hebei Qinggang."
What Mr. Zhao said surprised me. Zhao Yu and Qinghong were not on the same page as Mr. Zhao. I had known this for a long time. But in Golden Mountain, why Mr. Huang would side with Zhao Yu? There may be another reason for this.
I don't know much of my story.
After Second Master Zhao finished speaking, I said: "Second Master Zhao, what do you mean by what you said? The first person is Huang Jinshan, then the second and third ones are Zhao Yu and Qing Hong?"
"Yes!" Mr. Zhao answered me without hesitation.
Now I feel a big headache. This is a family matter of the Qing Gang, but Mr. Zhao used Oke as a condition to exchange for me and let me take action. I have to carefully consider the pros and cons of this.
So I said to Second Master Zhao: "Second Master, this matter may be a bit difficult for our Hongxiang Society. Why don't you..."
Just as I was about to refuse, Mr. Zhao continued: "Yi Feng, don't be too busy refusing. Think about this matter. If you are willing to agree to me, then I am willing to make the decision to let you Handan. I know you are right."
Handan has been coveted for a long time and has sent people to infiltrate it many times. If you agree with what I say, this Handan will be the territory of your Hongxiang Society."
Every offer from Mr. Zhao is very tempting, and it’s really hard for me to refuse. But Zhao Yu and Qing Hong are half of my friends, so if I want to kill them, I’m afraid I really can’t do it. As for the Golden Mountain, no matter it’s
It wasn't because of the profit relationship, at least he helped me in the beginning.
But if I reject Mr. Zhao outright, I am afraid that the relationship between us and him will be forged, so I said: "If Mr. Zhao is not joking with me, then I will think about it for three days.
The stakes are high and I must be cautious."
Second Master Zhao said: "Okay, the third thing is, help me convince Zhao Zhao to stay in Shaanxi and establish her own business, and never return to Hebei again."
At this point, I have understood everything that Mr. Zhao is thinking. He wants to firmly hold the rights of these youth gangs in his hands. Like a miser, he will not leave the rights to Zhao Yu, nor will he
Will give the rights to Zhao Zhao...
But if it is not given to these two people, then how will Mr. Zhao, who has no descendants, deal with the future fate of the Qinggang? When he gets old, who will he pass the Qinggang to? He can't take the Qinggang to his grave.
Bar?
I was completely confused by these three things Mr. Zhao said, especially the last two things.
At the same time, I also had a huge doubt in my heart, that is, why did Mr. Zhao trust me, an outsider, and why did he tell me such an important matter? Wasn't he afraid that I would join forces with Zhao Zhao or Zhao Yu to rebel against him?
Without hearing my answer, Mr. Zhao said: "Yi Feng, I know what you are thinking now, and you don't have to doubt anything. I can tell you frankly that before I die, I don't want to put my
The rights in your hands can be distributed to anyone, be it Zhao Yu, Zhao Zhao, or Golden Mountain."
"I am already in my fifties or almost sixty now. In another ten to twenty years, I will be buried in the grave. God has not given me the ability to have children, so I put all my energy into it.
They are all injected into rights, and these rights are my children. Whether you say I am greedy or authoritarian, this right is my hope to live. If the hope is gone, then I will not be able to live."
At this point, Mr. Zhao paused and said, "Yi Feng, can you understand what I mean?"
I said: "Probably, but Mr. Zhao, why did you choose me? The Hebei Youth Gang has many of your direct relatives, and there are also many gangs from other cities who please you. Why didn't you choose them? And
, aren’t you afraid that I will be persuaded by Zhao Yu or Zhao Zhao to join forces and rebel against you?”
After hearing what I said, Mr. Zhao burst out laughing: "Yi Feng, you are a smart man. If there were a competition between He Zhao Yu and Zhao Zhao, who do you think would have a greater chance of winning?"
I answered without hesitation: "Of course it's you, Mr. Zhao."
This is nothing to consider. After all, the forces of Zhao Zhao and Zhao Yu were secretly allowed by Mr. Zhao to develop. No matter how strong they are, they cannot be stronger than the bottom line given to them by Mr. Zhao.
Thinking of this, I asked Mr. Zhao again: "Mr. Zhao, since you have a great chance of winning, why do you want our Hongxiang Club to take action?"
Mr. Zhao said: "Yi Feng, don't you want the inheritance rights of our Qinggang? Yi Feng, you are a rare talent in this underworld for decades, don't you want to take over the Hebei Qinggang a hundred years from now?"
"Huh!?" I didn't understand what Second Master Zhao said.
Mr. Zhao continued: "Yi Feng, Zhao Zhao, and Zhao Yu are all too impatient. They want to force me out of my position as the talker of the Qing Gang before I die. So they are not
The suitable heir in my heart."
"But you are different from Yi Feng. You have Hongxiang Club in your hands. In addition, you are not a person with strong rights, so you will not covet the rights in my hands. If I promise that the Green Gang will belong to you after I die,
, you will definitely wait for me for a hundred years with peace of mind, right?"
"If you help our Youth Gang quell the civil strife this time, you will be a hero of our Youth Gang. In the future, when I am a hundred years old, you will be able to smoothly ascend to power."
These words of Mr. Zhao made me go crazy for a moment, but I am no longer the me who just debuted. Mr. Zhao was obviously trying to win over me with his words, but in fact he was setting a trap for me. If I
If I agree to his proposal, I will go to war with Zhao Yu and Golden Mountain, and our mutual strength will be weakened.
In addition, by asking me to persuade Zhao Zhao, I was also telling Zhao Zhao that I, Yi Feng, was interested in the power of the Youth Gang, and Zhao Zhao, who was determined to seize power, would also regard me as an enemy.
In addition, Zhao Yu and I are going to war with Huangjinshan, which is a war with the Qinggang. If Mr. Zhao stabs us in the back again, other gangs in Hebei will also come to make us enemies, and we will really be in danger by then.
