Tang Yuan sighed softly and said, "He is also from Southeast Province. Not long after he was discharged from the army, he came to Yongning City to make a living and drove for a company owner.
After his life became stable, he brought his wife to work in the province.
When my family was in trouble, he always helped me."
"Chu Nan, in fact, the retired soldiers in our army are all stubborn and unlovable, and they don't have much academic qualifications. In addition to working as bodyguards, drivers and security guards, we belong to an elite special forces. No.
It’s mysterious, because one’s identity and past are often not disclosed due to sensitive identities, so everyone’s life is not very good, but Brother Zhou is living a good life.”
Chu Nan nodded, he understood that now that society does not guarantee distribution, it is indeed difficult for retired soldiers to find a satisfactory job.
Coupled with the fact that soldiers usually have a straightforward and stubborn temper developed by living in the army, most companies are not willing to recruit them.
Just imagine, how much money can you make per month as a security guard?
In a provincial capital city like Yongning, life is certainly difficult.
And Brother Zhou at least worked as a driver for his boss. The salary was definitely much higher, and it was reasonable for him to live a good life.
"Comrades in a squad often have fatal feelings.
Brother Zhou has a deep affection for us comrades in arms. He tried his best to gather everyone he could in Yongning City to make a living together. He often got together to make a living, and would always come forward if anyone had difficulties or troubles. He was such a good big brother.
said."
Tang Yuan sighed, "But his life is not good. He drives for his boss all day and night. He is often away from home and can't take care of his wife.
Who knew his wife was addicted to gambling? Not only did she play mahjong all day long, but she was also tricked into going to a casino and lost a huge amount of debt."
"After losing money, my wife borrowed money from a loan shark. By the time he found out, the family had lost all their money and was still in debt.
Forced to have no choice, Brother Zhou had no choice but to go to an underground casino and engage in black boxing to pay off his debts."
When Chu Nan and Tang Yan in the back row heard this, their expressions couldn't help but change.
The business of underground boxing gambling has been rampant since ancient times. This is a gray area in modern society, where gangs often fight and money and material desires are rampant. If you are not careful, you will die. It is an extremely dangerous place.
Brother Zhou had no choice but to get into this business, and it was obviously difficult to get out.
"At first, we brothers gritted our teeth and pooled together some money to give to Brother Zhou, and we all advised him not to engage in black boxing."
Tang Yuan sighed, "Brother Zhou is an excellent soldier. Although he is not bad at fighting, what he is really good at is gun shooting, reconnaissance and command capabilities. Compared with those desperate boxers or martial arts practitioners in the black boxing market, he is not
There is no absolute advantage."
"It's a pity that there is so little we can do to help Brother Zhou. We still have enough money to repay the interest, and it is almost impossible to pay off the debt in full.
In the end, Brother Zhou still went to fight behind our backs.
But he was lucky, and his opponents were not very good. He won six games in a row, and his bonuses have almost paid off his debts."
Chu Nan had basically figured out the matter and said, "Since Brother Zhou has almost paid back the money, we should be able to tell him to stop?"
"Yes, we asked him to stop, but he succeeded. He was blinded by money. He always felt that there were no masters in underground black boxing and he could handle it."
Tang Yuan said helplessly, "On the surface he promised us not to make money from this anymore, but in fact he was still boxing secretly.
No matter how we tried to persuade him, it was useless. In the end, we had to ask his old mother to come and finally persuade him to stop."
"Not everyone can resist such temptation."
Chu Nan said with understanding, "Black boxing can make money quickly, but it can also easily become the target of others' manipulation. It's a good thing that he can stop.
Then today you..." "Hey...just now a comrade of mine called me to tell me that Brother Zhou went to the underground boxing ring again and was preparing to fight in the dark boxing ring.
So we want to gather there and persuade him together."
Tang Yuan said helplessly and a little strangely, "I don't understand this very much. Brother Zhou is a person who obeys his old mother's words. Why has he stopped fighting for so long and suddenly wants to do black boxing again?"
Chu Nan thought for a while and then said, "There are two possibilities. One is that he is short of money again, and the other is that someone may force him to fight."
Tang Yuan stared wide-eyed and said in surprise, "You mean... he was forced?"
"I don't know the details, we'll talk about it after we go there."
Chu Nan turned around and asked, "Where is the underground boxing ring?"
"In an abandoned factory in the northern suburbs of Yongning City, my comrades made an appointment to meet in a wasteland outside the factory."
Tang Yuan warned as he spoke, "Chun Nan, you must pay attention when you get there. The underground boxing ring is full of teeth. The ones who started this fight are the Yongning City Langya Gang. These guys are ruthless and will do all kinds of evil. It's best not to offend them."
Chu Nan drove the car and nodded, indicating that he understood.
I drove the Land Rover all the way north, passed through the urban area of Yongning City, and drove for more than half an hour. It wasn't until the sun set and night fell that I finally arrived at a deserted suburb.
"Stop, right here, I see them."
When Tang Yuan spoke, Chu Nan's car lights happened to shine on three men standing on a slope, smoking and chatting.
When he parked the car safely next to these people, Tang Yuan lowered the window and said, "Old ghost, rat, wild cat, it's quite early for you!"
When Chu Nan heard the nicknames of these people, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Really...he has a lot of personality.
"Damn it, loach! Okay, can you take a ride in this million-dollar luxury car?
Haven’t you gotten rich in a while?”
The three of them looked at the cool black Range Rover in front of them in surprise, and couldn't help but be envious.
loach?
Chu Nan finally couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.
Tang Yuan's old face turned red with embarrassment, and he quickly got out of the car and glared dissatisfied, "What's going on? You guys, you said you shouldn't call me nicknames after you retire."
"Haha, who told you to call us nicknames as soon as you open your mouth?"
The three of them laughed and retorted.
"I...I just got used to it and haven't changed it."
Tang Yuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Okay, okay, call me by name, but no more nicknames! Don't get me wrong, this is my brother's car, not mine."
While talking, Chu Nan and Tang Yan got out of the car together.
"This is my brother Chu Nan, and I'm following him around now."
Tang Yuan smiled and introduced, "Tang Yuan, let me introduce a few comrades to you. We were all in the same team. This is Lin Chen, nicknamed Lao Gui. He is best at blasting."
Chu Nan glanced at Lin Chen, whose hair was parted in the middle, was of medium height and had a somewhat honest face, smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with him.
Then Tang Yuan pointed to the thin but energetic guy next to him and said, "This is Cheng Hao, nicknamed Mouse. He is best at field engineering, digging mines and making trenches. He is the best in the team.
.”
Finally, he introduced the bald man next to him and said, "This guy's name is Zhang Wenkai, nicknamed Wild Cat. He is best at ambush and can hide even the killers."
Chu Nan greeted them one by one and regarded them as acquaintances. He smiled and said, "You are all elites in the army. Tang Yuan's comrades are my friends. In the future, if we have more contact and become familiar with each other, I believe we can become friends."
The three of them looked at Chu Nan for a few times. One of them, Zhang Wenkai, took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile, "I heard Tang Yuan mention you a long time ago. It turns out that you are his childhood friend.
Hehe, not bad, he looks like an honest person, we wild cats like to deal with cheerful people."
Tang Yuan interrupted at this time, "Okay, we'll get to know each other more when we meet more, so let's talk about the situation first.
Has Brother Zhou already entered the underground boxing ring?
