Bi Wang's eyes were in a trance, and he continued in a babble: "Yes, Mr. Yang is really good. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to climb to such a high position."
Gouzi suddenly glanced at him with a strange expression.
Bi Wang also came out of his trance. Thinking of what he had just said, his face suddenly started to burn. How could such a good person repay kindness with hatred?
Bi Wang suddenly felt that his sins were so serious that he wanted to rush to the Jesus Church immediately, prostrate himself at the feet of the priest, and repent properly. But then he thought about it, and the hardship and suffering he was suffering now might also be a kind of atonement. In this way
As soon as I thought about it, I felt much better.
The two of them talked to other places, and time passed quickly when someone was chatting with them. At a certain point, Gouzi suddenly screamed and said: "It's almost time, the cake seller must be here. I'll go out and give it to him."
You buy a cake."
After saying that, Gouzi stood up with a smile, while Bi Wang was still leaning against the door frame. Gouzi was stunned for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Bi, sit inside first, I have to close the door, otherwise there will be someone coming back."
If you come here and see it, I will be punished!"
Bi Wang hadn't had a good conversation with anyone for many days. It was rare to find someone willing to talk to him today, so he didn't have the nerve to embarrass him. He quickly stood up and moved away. As soon as Gouzi closed the door, he kept talking for the past two days.
The loneliness and panic that invaded him were overwhelming.
The feeling of regret in his heart arose again.
It didn't take long for the dog to walk away, fifteen minutes at most. But Bi Wang felt like a century had passed, making him restless and uncomfortable, as if his heart was being scratched by thousands of claws. The door opened.
When he was walking, the sunlight that slanted in from the side door on the left fell on his face, and that faint warm feeling made him instantly make a decision in his heart - he didn't want to stay here anymore for a second, he wanted to
go out!
However, Gouzi was still looking at him. For the first time in his life, Bi Wang lost his temper and began to think carefully.
"Here, let's eat." Gouzi handed a steaming Shandong pancake to Bi Wang. The golden dough was filled with seven or eight kinds of finely chopped ingredients, exuding the aroma. Bi Wang couldn't help but take a deep breath.
After one sip, the familiar smell echoed back and forth in the nasal cavity, driving away my thoughts.
He came out to work when he was fifteen years old. At that time, he was unlucky. Within two months of coming out, all the money he had was given to thieves. With no money and no relatives, he looked up in that cold city.
No relatives. Fortunately, fate favored him. When he thought he would starve to death behind a trash can in an alley, he met Yang Yongcheng.
He took him back to Yongzhou and arranged for him to study in school. At that time, there would always be an aunt riding a tricycle parked under the camphor tree in front of the school. There was a stove on the tricycle with a piece of iron installed on the stove.
Ban. When someone came over, she would make a pancake. At that time, there was no concept of Shandong pancakes, but the food was the same, even more delicious.
Bi Wang is the one who comes here every day, not only because of the delicious food, but also because it's cheap. Yang Yongcheng is not stingy with him, but he doesn't like using his money. Maybe it's because of his ridiculous self-esteem.
I ate that cake for three years. Perhaps because I got tired of it, I never ate it again. Many years later, when I returned to Yongzhou and returned to Yang Yongcheng, he calmly told him that if he wanted to enter Yongcheng
In the steel industry, you have to start from the bottom. At that moment, he forgot the taste of pancakes and the worry-free time on campus.
At this moment, Gouzi's pancake brought back these images that had been dusted in the depths of his memory. Bi Wang was suddenly stunned, what on earth had he done! Oh my God, what had he done!
"Why don't you eat? Isn't it delicious?" Gouzi frowned and asked when he saw that he was stunned and didn't respond. Bi Wang was shocked, laughed and said, "It's okay. I remembered some things from the past.
I used to like eating this kind of cake."
Gouzi grinned and said, "I like to eat it too. This food is not only delicious but also cheap."
Gouzi's words came to his heart again. Bi Wang couldn't help it anymore. He got closer to Gouzi and carefully looked around. After confirming that no one was around, he quietly asked Gouzi in his suspicious eyes: "Gouzi
Brother, can I ask you to do something for me?"
Seeing his mysterious appearance, Gouzi had a hint of suspicion on his face. After examining him for a while, he didn't know whether he had just guessed it right or whether he had really seen through Bi Wang's thoughts.
"You don't want me to let you go, do you?"
Bi Wang was stunned for a moment, but Gouzi had already said it for him. Even if it was impossible, Bi Wang would try. He pulled Gouzi's sleeve eagerly. Gouzi hurriedly shook it off again.
Kai, frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Don't move your hands or feet, if someone sees it, neither of us will end well."
When Bi Wang heard this, he had no choice but to put his hands away, but he couldn't put his words back.
"You let me go, and I'll give you fifty thousand, so you don't have to do this here anymore. You can find a better job in any city and live a better life." Bi Wang said because he was anxious.
They all spoke a bit incoherently. He may not have realized that fifty thousand yuan is nothing in today's society.
But he didn't realize that Gouzi did. He had a straight face and lowered his voice and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? If I let you go, Lao Hei will definitely not let me go. I will be disabled at least, or disabled at worst."
My life is gone."
When Gouzi said this, the fire in Bi Wang's heart cooled down a bit. But at this time, Gouzi's eyes flicked around his face, and another sentence came out of his mouth: "And now fifty thousand yuan can...
What to do."
When Bi Wang heard this, he immediately realized that there was something serious about this matter. He hurriedly said: "Then how much do you want? As long as you let me go, the price can be whatever you want."
Gouzi looked at him, his seemingly honest face and the light in his small eyes were cunning and calm.
After a few seconds, Bi Wang could no longer hold his breath, and Gouzi spoke up: "If I help you, I'll be putting my head on my belt. How much do you think my life is worth?"
These words made Bi Wang feel uneasy. He knew that if Gouzi helped him, he would not be able to establish himself in Yongzhou. However, Gouzi suddenly equated this reward with his life. This price
But it’s not easy to open.
Moreover, he actually doesn’t have much money, and the RV in Yongzhou may not exceed 2 million. In terms of cash, it is only about 200,000. Of which 200,000 was given to him by Qianjiang Liu’s gang.
.
Bi Wang hesitated and hesitated, then quietly reported a number: "One hundred and fifty thousand." After saying that, he was afraid that he would open his mouth, so he immediately added: "That's all I have."
Gouzi has been struggling in this society for several years, and he has been smart since he was a child. He can tell at a glance whether Wang is telling the truth or a lie. He shook his head and said: "One hundred and fifty thousand
It’s still a little short of buying my life!”
Bi Wang's face turned gray in an instant, and he pursed his lips and stopped talking. Gouzi was not in a hurry, he knew that the man in front of him would definitely raise the price, because he could see the desire in his eyes.
The desire to escape was as strong as a fire, almost burning him to the dregs.
Sure enough, seeing the struggling look on Bi Wang's face, Gou Zi couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. He thought, two hundred thousand. He only needs two hundred thousand. With these two hundred thousand, he can go to another place.
He wanted to open a small store and do some small business in the city. He no longer had to look at other people's faces, bow his head and live a life of fear and dignity here every day. Moreover, he was tired of the sensual and cold-blooded people here.
He was ruthless. He wanted to live a life where he was humane and knew the warmth and coldness.
Bi Wang really lived up to his expectations. After some struggle, he was finally defeated by the desire in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said three words: "Two hundred thousand."
Gouzi couldn't help but have a hint of surprise in his eyes. This was what he expected. He looked at him for a while. He felt that if he persisted for a while, he should be able to squeeze more out of the person in front of him.
But then he thought about what someone once said, don't do things to the extreme, just give up when they are good.
Gouzi agreed, but of course he couldn't agree too unreservedly. In Bi Wang's eyes, he struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally took pity on him and agreed to help him escape. But he also had a condition,
He wanted to go with him. Once the two of them escaped, Bi Wang had to give him the money. Otherwise, he would drag him to death even if he was beaten to death by Lao Hei.
Bi Wang naturally agreed without hesitation.
As night fell, the staff of Sun City began to get busy. Under the night, two figures quietly slipped out of the side door and ran away quickly along the trash cans and greenery in the corner with their waists low.
While Bi Wang and Gouzi were hiding and running around the city, Liang Jianzheng and Hu Xiaoying were talking on the phone. On the phone, Hu Xiaoying's voice sounded anxious.
"Tell me the truth, does the Yongcheng Steel case have anything to do with you?"
Liang Jian held his cell phone and listened to this wistful voice, feeling deeply complicated in his heart. On the one hand, he was happy because of her nervousness, but on the other hand, he was disappointed because of her questioning. After all these years, hasn't she understood?
Him?
Perhaps it was his silence that made Hu Xiaoying aware of the inappropriateness of what she just said. She softened her tone and said, "I'm sorry. I don't want to doubt you, I just... don't want anything to happen to you."
Liang Jian couldn't bear to lie to her, let alone see her sad for him. Besides, there were still some aspects of this matter that required her cooperation. He told her all about his plan. After hearing this, Hu Xiaoying exclaimed: "This is too dangerous! I won't
Agreed. This is simply playing with fire."
Liang Jian smiled and said, "The fire has been lit, and we can no longer control it."
Hu Xiaoying fell silent.
After a while, she asked: "Then what do you need me to do?"
Liang Jian squinted his eyes, looked at the night outside the window, and replied: "What I need most now is time."
"I understand. Don't worry, I will find a way." She promised decisively, without even thinking about how to do it or whether it could be done.
But, as far as she is concerned, at this time, she can only do it. Because it is related to his safety, his future, and his life.
She and him were tied together, at least that's what she thought in her heart. How could she go on this road without her.
