The crisp sound of ice cubes colliding against the wall of the cup ended with Jiang Shao's words. After a subtle silence, Afa nodded and said:
"...It's just Riyue's job in the first place. If you don't want to do it anymore, there's nothing I can do to stop you."
"Okay, it's easy to get together and part ways."
"It's the end, let's finish everything." Afa took out his cigarette case and took out a cigarette in his mouth, "It's not my business, it's Li Chang's. The situation is quite urgent now, so I'll keep it short.
."
"The thing that boy wants to discuss with me is: he wants to repeat the grade and study for one more year, and then take the police academy or lawyer's exam."
"...Wang Defa?" Jiang Yan's face was full of question marks. Would this boy who was active in everything except studying want to study? He would rather believe that the sow finally learned to climb the tree.
"Yes, he said he wanted to study." Afa's eyes were filled with disbelief and relief, and he took a deep drag on his cigarette: "He said that two people inspired him, a girl he fell in love with at first sight - this one I
I didn't ask who it was. The other one was you."
"Me?" Jiang Yan really wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, why he kept hearing incomprehensible things one after another. Ah Fa nodded, "Yes, you. He said you have the ability and intention to help others.
He is what he needs to be, a kind, responsible, reassuring and warm person."
"...just like his father."
"This is a good thing - a really good thing, I know. He and his father are both the kind of people who are incapable of becoming evil. It's just like that in their bones. His father was forced by circumstances, and he had a cramp in his head. Let's go my way.
Tao will not end well. At that time, Lao Li entrusted him to me, and even now I still haven't figured out how to turn him around, but I haven't succeeded and can't think of any other way."
"...Thank you, that's all I want to say." Afa pressed the remaining half of the cigarette into the ashtray:
"I'm not a sloppy person, nor will I be ungrateful. Remember my revenge, kill or cut into pieces as you like. I owe you a favor, and it will be for the rest of my life - you saved my child's life."
Jiang Yan hesitated to speak and turned his eyes away: "...Then what are you going to do now? I'm afraid he won't be able to enter the police academy with your background, right?"
"I plan to send him out to see and learn more and then come back."
"Yes, that's fine."
Jiang Shao rubbed his head. He really didn't know what to say about this situation. From the moment he saw the nest in the tunnel, he realized that Afa had already anticipated everything he might suffer, so he decided to
He had to discuss an explanation with Ah Fa at this moment. It would unfold so smoothly and unexpectedly, which he did not expect.
Let's get the topic back on track. "I heard Mr. Lin said that there is something he needs me to know. Can you tell me now?"
"Don't worry, there's still one person left." Lin was lying on the table, his face already looking much better: "We'll wait until everyone is here--"
The shop door suddenly opened, interrupting the old man's words: "Waiter, two kilograms of cooked beef, high-quality red beef." Jiang Yan turned his head and saw that it was Longmen Pork who said such words full of the flavor of the era and region.
The overlord of the world, Lao Wang. When he saw the person coming, he blinked in confusion: "Are we waiting for him?"
"You are waiting for the person behind me." Lao Wang pointed to the person behind him: This tall old man needs to lower his head to enter the store. Xing Xiong bends down to let the corner in, and he bends down to
Let your face in. Jiang Yan saw the face of the visitor clearly and jumped up from the bar without any hesitation. His target was this tall and strong man!
"I *Yanguo swears* your uncle!" Jiang Shao used his hands and feet to control the unprepared tall and strong man, then he fell backwards and locked him to the ground, clamping his head with one leg and punching him twice.
Hit him hard in the stomach:
"You actually sold me!?"
"Let it go, let it go - uh -" Iron Arm was knocked out of his lungs by Jiang Shao's two punches. He frantically slapped Jiang Shao with his palm three times in a row as if to admit defeat, just when he was about to be out of breath.
When he came, Jiang Yan let go of him.
This sudden situation made everyone look confused. Jiang Yan had no intention of caring about the middle-aged man's face. He stood up and pointed at Iron Arm's nose and cursed: "It's a waste that I trust you so much! You said you wanted to
You wanted to see me off, but it turned out that you were planning to see me off! Half a month, a whole half month! Do you know how I got here!"
"Do you know how embarrassing it is to have no money in your pocket!"
"Do you know how difficult it is to communicate without a mobile phone!"
"Do you know how painful it is to have no government to take care of food and drink?"
"you know--"
"Unanimous to the outside world!" Iron Arm caressed his throat and chest, and said with difficulty: "Unanimous to the outside world! Cough cough cough cough... Now is not the time to talk about this. Boy, please give me a hand..."
"I'm insulting you for your *excessive words*, who the hell is going to agree with you?" After scolding, Jiang Yan still stretched out his hand to pull up the fallen iron arm. He sat in front of the stage and faced him again.
He slapped his back hard twice. Following a violent cough, Iron Arm finally regained his breath.
"Boy, it was definitely my fault that time." Tieju looked at Jiang Yan with an apologetic face, "I promise you, that was the last time I lied to you."
"I believe you bear!"
"Okay, let's calm down for a while." Lin smiled. Jiang Yan made a fuss just now, which completely ruined the originally awkward atmosphere. He took advantage of this turn and said:
"Everyone here may not know each other, but there is no need to be wary of each other. Everyone I have invited is a trustworthy stakeholder, and what may happen now is closely related to you."
"Maybe some people already know - Huang Wanwan was not arrested. Logically speaking, this is not a big deal: the situation is over for a reckless man, so we can spend more time and let him play with fire and suffer the consequences. But I can
See through his personality: he is an unprincipled beast. And the infected person organization and integration movement that he is now cooperating with, their leaders are not simple."
Afa asked: "Are you worried that he will join forces with those infected?"
"No." Lin shook his head and denied, "The power of those infected has not grown yet. Huang Wanwan is already a thing of the past. There is no big threat if the two parties join forces."
"Then why-"
"But this does not mean that they are not threatening. The leader of the integration movement knows how to use emotions to drive others. If she uses Huang Wanwan to bite her randomly, she may cause avoidable harm."
Iron Arm said in imperfect Chinese: "When a lion fights a rabbit, you have to use all your strength." "Yes, that's the truth." Lin nodded approvingly: "Now, I hope you can leave it to yourself and Longmen as much as possible.
A satisfactory answer.”
"Wait a minute," Jiang Yan interrupted with confusion on his face: "You are making me more and more confused. Everyone here is a stakeholder? What do you mean?"
"Afa represents the underworld of Longmen, and the little girl symbolizes the bright side of Longmen. These are the two most obvious parties you saw last night. They joined forces in the confrontation for their own interests. This is the inside of Longmen. As for these two latecomers,
People are the third parties who can profit from it."
Lin's explanation was very vague, and Jiang Yan could only understand it roughly. But he didn't ask questions that he would be able to figure out in the future. There were other questions now:
"You didn't mention yourself and me?"
"...the two of us," Lin thought of the pair of suffering sisters and sighed again.
"It's a matter of morality, commitment, and conscience."
