I walked to the door, and the small building was completely dark, without any light.
I knocked on the door a few times, but there was no sound from inside.
I slowly pulled the door, and with a creak, the door opened.
Walking in cautiously, everything was dark.
I took out my cell phone and wanted to shine a light on it.
As soon as I moved, I suddenly heard a vicissitudes of voice coming from the darkness:
"The lamp is on the left hand side!"
I can confirm that this voice is the voice that just called me.
Turning on the light, you can see all kinds of old-fashioned furniture in the old living room.
There was a person sitting on the hardwood sofa next to the wall.
The moment I saw him, I confirmed that he was Qin Sihai.
Because he is exactly the same as the disguised Qin Sihai in Fengtian.
The biggest difference is that his face has changed, and he is older than the fake Qin Sihai.
The moment I saw him, he was also looking at me.
His hands were placed on his legs covered with blankets.
What is different from what I imagined is that the majestic gambling king of Guandong does not say that he has a majestic appearance.
At the very least, you have to have some extraordinary magnanimity.
But the Qin Sihai in front of him had a sallow complexion and a skinny figure, like a terminally ill patient.
"We finally meet!"
Qin Sihai said slowly.
I didn't say anything, but looked towards other rooms.
With the steel plate in hand, I didn't dare to let down my guard.
"Don't be afraid, there is no ambush here, and I am the only one in the room!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed to the wooden sofa opposite and said again:
"Sit down, I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to sit across from Mr. Mei's son like this!"
I sat on the sofa, looked at Qin Sihai, and asked the first question of the day:
"Qin Sihai, how did my father die?"
Qin Sihai did not answer my question, and looked back and forth at me with a pair of cloudy eyes.
After a while, he nodded slightly and sighed:
"Although it's not heroic, I still have a bit of Mr. Mei's magnanimity. That's right, a tiger father has no dog son!"
I didn’t want to hear his emotions, so I asked again:
"How did my father die?"
My tone rose a little, and Qin Sihai sighed and said:
"Don't worry, I will tell you everything I know tonight. Do you know why?"
I shook my head.
"Because some people don't want me to live. I don't want to go to the Paradise with the secrets I know. So, I will tell everything I know!
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Sihai looked at me and asked:
"On the sixth day of the lunar month, do you know what an underground bank is?"
"Underground bank?"
I repeated it.
"Isn't it a company that specializes in lending money?"
Qin Sihai shook his head.
"Lending is just one of the many business models of banks. Bridging funds, loan sharking, fund laundering, asset transfer, and foreign exchange trading are all what banks do to make a living..."
"Is this related to my father's death?"
"Of course! Do you know where the largest underground bank in the country is?"
I shook my head.
"In Yundian!"
Qin Sihai's words made me frown.
"Back then, your father had three sworn brothers, and one of them ran an underground bank. You must think it's a fantasy when you tell me that. As early as more than 20 years ago, the annual turnover of this bank was as high as hundreds of millions..."
More than twenty years ago, it was an era that had not yet changed.
What kind of scale is this that can achieve this kind of flow rate?
However, I remembered a rumor I heard when I was traveling around the world with Mr. Liu.
In 1994, in southern Guangdong, a 3.2 billion underground bank fund-raising case was seized.
I didn't understand it at the time, I just heard it casually.
I didn't expect to hear this word again today, many years later.
"What's his name?"
I asked again.
Qin Sihai shook his head.
"I have never met them, and Mr. Mei has never talked about his kowtow brothers to others. I only know that one of them is in Yundian. In those years, Mr. Mei often went to Yundian. It was not until he came back one year that he
A few of us said that no one was allowed to enter Yundian from now on. At that time, I didn’t understand why he said that. Until later, I accidentally heard a rumor that Mr. Mei had betrayed his trust and cheated on his sworn brother.
A huge sum of money. As for how much this sum is, no one knows. But I guess that even now it is an astronomical figure..."
Qin Sihai said, rubbing his hands on his legs.
And I lit a cigarette and smoked silently, waiting for him to continue talking.
"What you don't know is that in those days, underground banks transferred not only funds abroad, but also gold, jade, and antiques. It is said that what Mr. Mei smuggled that time was not just the money belonging to his sworn brother's bank.
There are also things belonging to the bank’s customers…”
Having said this, Qin Sihai coughed a few times. I asked hurriedly:
"What happened next?"
"Later? Later, there were many calls from Yundian, but Mr. Mei never went to Yundian again. Until one day, something happened to me..."
Having said this, a guilty look appeared on Qin Sihai's face.
"I clearly remember that day was March 24th. I had left Mr. Mei at that time and set up my own business. I was going south to Shencheng and wanted to see a friend. As soon as I got off the train, I was stopped by several people. Others
I don’t even remember it. I just remember that I had a sack on my head and was being pulled by a truck. I don’t know how long it took and I didn’t know where I was going. Only when I got to the place did I know that there was Yundian...
"
Qin Sihai looked up at the night outside the window and continued with a dull expression:
"I thought that I would be doomed this time. But I didn't expect that the people who received me that day treated me so well. I'm not stupid, of course I knew this was not normal. Sure enough, after a few days of reveling in the world, they
I took him to a place. That day, I saw with my own eyes that they buried three people alive in front of me..."
Qin Sihai said and couldn't help but close his eyes.
It can be seen that the tragic situation at that time still left him with quite painful memories.
