second life

Ah Wen sent Zhao Xiu to the door of his house, and helped him carry his luggage upstairs before leaving.

After Zhao Xiu entered the house, he looked around and decided to come back in a few days to buy some things. Although the security here is good, there are still big loopholes in some places. Can turn around.

Putting the luggage in the room casually, he thought about it and made a call.

After a beep, the phone was picked up.

"Zhao Jiu? Are you looking for me?" Yao Sangeng on the other end of the phone was obviously surprised, "You won't call here if you have nothing to do. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Are you interested in following me?" Zhao Xiu said bluntly, Yao Sangeng was a little confused by his question, and remained silent for a long time.He frowned, not knowing whether to say that this person was bold or overconfident, but the short contact last time made him feel that Zhao Xiu was not joking.

"Why did you say this suddenly?" He was sitting on the sofa, with a stack of newspapers in his hand, on which many circles were drawn with a red pen.He had a good feeling for Zhao Xiu, and the brief contact gave him a familiar and friendly feeling, but these could not help him make a decision.

His question was too sudden.

"I'm leaving the hospital today." Zhao Xiu said lightly, calling him immediately after his injury recovered. This kind of sincerity is enough.

Yao Sangeng's voice became a little cold: "Why?" He just wanted to make people laugh at him, right?

Zhao Xiu's laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Although Lin Yuanqi let your brother go, but your boss is gone, your brothers have become a mess, these people will either continue to hang out on the road, there is no gang or no Belonging, becoming a marginal figure on the road, or just finding a boss to hang out with, the future is uncertain, in good times, you can eat delicious food and drink spicy food, but in bad times..." Zhao Xiu smiled and did not continue.

Yao Sangeng raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "We can do the right thing." He glanced at the newspapers on the table, and he didn't even believe what he said.

"Right?" Zhao Xiu seemed to have heard something very funny, he sneered and said, "Maybe you, Yao San, are better, but your brothers, do you think they can easily get away from this place? Those who are on the road, who are they?" They didn’t take one or two lives on their backs, they said they wouldn’t do it, and in the end they would die.”

As soon as the word 'dead' came out, Yao Sangeng quickly tightened his hand holding the phone, and he lowered his voice: "I can rest easy by following you?" Isn't Zhao Xiu's purpose just to want them?Yao Sangeng pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on those red circles.

After Lin Yuanqi came out of the hospital, he kept his promise and let them go. A few brothers were injured a little bit, but fortunately, it was not too serious. It will be fine after a period of recuperation. They also want to do the right thing, but they have already gotten used to it. Life on the road, secondly, there are a few serious business bosses who dare to accept people like them, and in the end they either can’t get along or go back to the old road. Even if he is holding a high school diploma, he can’t find a decent one. He can't think of anything else he can do except continue to be a doctor on the road. So many people need to eat, and he can't live a day without money.

Zhao Xiu called at this time, it can be said that he gave them another way, but if you want to talk to him, you have to see if this person is worth it, and whether you can lead them to live a better life.

Yao Sangeng quickly weighed the pros and cons of this matter in his mind, and was also waiting for Zhao Xiu's reaction.

Zhao Xiu walked to the window and looked at the dark night sky outside the window, "I can't guarantee that they will live to the end of their lives, but one day with me, Zhao Xiu, they will at least have a bite to eat, and they won't be looked down upon."

Yao Sangeng fell silent, and he said slowly, "You promise?"

"I promise."

Zhao Xiu laughed, Yao Sangeng's character is still the same after all these years.

Yao San couldn't deny that he was tempted when he heard Zhao Jiu's promise in the name of Zhao Xiu. Although his real name was not something hidden from others, in their eyes, his real name represented The meaning and nickname are completely different.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I can bring them here, but I have one condition."

"You said."

"One year." Yao Sangeng stood up and threw the newspaper into the trash can. "I need a year to observe. If I think you are not good enough, I will take someone away."

"Yes." Zhao Xiu agreed without hesitation to this very strange and completely useless condition in the eyes of the Taoist.

The corners of Yao Sangeng's mouth raised involuntarily, "Then from today onwards, you will be my boss, Brother Ninth, I need you to take care of me from now on." His voice finally relaxed, and he sat back on the chair again.

"Brother." Zhao Xiu laughed, held the phone, looked up at the sky, and closed the curtains with a snap.

"There's one more thing I want to know."

"Ok?"

Yao Sangeng asked curiously: "If I choose to go with Lin Yuanqi instead of you, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Xiu's laughter came from the other end of the phone, "You won't." He said slowly, "Lin Yuanqi hurt your people from the beginning, your brother won't trust him so much, and..." He paused, "You are a smart person, you should understand that giving charcoal in the snow is more meaningful than icing on the cake. With Lin Yuanqi's identity and position, you choose to be with him just to let him have more people around him. He has confidantes and hands, you go It may not be reused, but I am different, you follow me now, you are the closest to me, I trust you, so I tell you this."

Zhao Xiu's voice was faint, enough to confuse people's hearts, but he still kept some words.

For example, he knew that the reason why Yao Sangeng did not choose to be with Lin Yuanqi in such a difficult time was also because although this person seemed to have a high status and was the son of the boss of the Youth Gang, but he was ruthless and his future was unpredictable, so he chose him It is tantamount to choosing a dangerous and thorny road.

Zhao Xiu didn't say anything, because he understood that now is not the time to be honest, and because Yao Sangeng and the others followed him, the future may not be unimpeded. People who walk on this road can never guarantee their lives.However, he won't let this person go.

Zhao Xiu never denied that he was selfish. Even if he hesitated to let Yao Sangeng return to the life of ordinary people, this thought was only for a moment. If Zhao Xiu wanted to succeed, Yao Sangeng was indispensable.

Facing the window with the curtains drawn, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became indifferent.

"I agreed to your terms, shouldn't you also prove your value to me, at least let me know that what I do will not be a loss-making business."

"If brother Jiu has anything to do, just tell him directly." Yao Sangeng's attitude changed very quickly. He is a smart person and knows what to say at the right time.

"I want you guys to help me pack a bunch of people."

"Who?" Yao Sangeng raised his eyebrows. He couldn't think of anyone who would offend Zhao Xiu. With his personality, if he offended this guy, he would be very miserable.

Zhao Xiu smiled lightly, "A bunch of scum."

When Zhao Xiu got up to eat breakfast the next morning, he turned on the TV.

A case of burglary in the suburbs in the early morning was being shown on TV. A group of unidentified outsiders were severely injured in their residence and robbed all the property in the house. Later investigation found that these people were wandering around in various places. The professional crooks in the city have carried many cases on their backs and have been wanted for a long time. Although nothing was found in the robbery case, these crooks were all caught in the trap.

Zhao Xiu changed the channel after watching it, and ate the soy milk fritters he just bought.

Yao Sangeng and the others still have the ability to deal with this group of people. Zhao Xiu glanced at the local news broadcast on the TV station again. When the camera moved past a person's face, his chewing movements suddenly slowed down. Zhao Xiu squinted. He squinted his eyes and leaned back on the chair, recalling it carefully in his mind.

Suddenly, he laughed, took a sip of soy milk, and tried a taste that he hadn't tasted for a long time.

The time 20 years ago was really good. Many things have not changed. For example, the soy milk on hand will not taste like this after 20 years.Many things have just begun, for example, some people who are destined to make a fortune are still unknown, and some will become prosperous areas of the Nuggets in the future, but now they are still a wasteland.

Zhao Xiu chuckled softly. From yesterday, what he wanted to support was a group of people, and it would be impossible if he didn't earn some money.

After cleaning up the table, he went to the bedroom to change his clothes. By the way, he habitually looked sideways at the back, and after finding that there was nothing on it, he shook his head and put on his coat.

Yao Sangeng dealt with those scumbags who lied to Shasha, and then he was waiting for the night meeting with those people from Montenegro.

After watching the short video that was playing on the TV, he still needs to find some time to go to Jiuling District. Maybe he, Zhao Xiu, can also try the feeling of being a landlord?

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the outer road of the third ring road of City B.

A dozen expensive cars were parked on the side of the road, a group of young people with colorful hair were chattering and laughing around the car, and a few people in professional racing suits were mixed in the crowd. They seem to be talking and laughing together, but in fact they are very different.

For example, those who are dressed in high-end clothes and whose chin can be used as eyes have been on the other side, as if they don't want to be with those gangsters. When they see a few racers, their eyes are shining, and they can't wait to rush to sign.

This is not a formal racing car, and the drivers are not all professional, but this place is the territory of these people. They have been racing in this area all year round. People outside have also seen a few famous drivers, and young people admire them. In the eyes of these young people, those few racing drivers with outstanding ability are cool, handsome and worthy of pursuit.

They are willing to spend a lot of money to gamble. For the rich second-generation ancestors of these people, what they throw in is just some pocket money. This group of people in Montenegro takes advantage of their mentality.

You have to play it differently. Racing cars are not clubbing and picking up girls. This is something that belongs to men and can ignite the passion of the whole person.

For young people eager to indulge, this kind of stimulation is enough to attract them crazy.

Sitting in the car, Zhao Xiu looked at these scenes not far away, and there was a bit of inexplicable nostalgia in his eyes. When his eyes turned to Jerry, who was standing aside and looking around, this nostalgic look faded away and became a habit. at will.

He glanced at Lin Yuanqi who was sitting beside him, "You are here to watch the show, since you are watching the play, don't interfere." After speaking, he opened the car door and got out of the car.

Lin Yuanqi looked at his back, no expression could be seen on his face, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Drive the car to the side of the track." He ordered lightly.

"Brother Qi?" Even in this kind of private road race, ordinary cars can't get close to the track. Ah Wen wanted to speak, but when he saw the expression on Lin Yuanqi's face from the rearview mirror, he swallowed the words immediately Going back, he drove the car to the side of the track, still some distance away from the group of people gathered there.

When Zhao Xiu got out of the car, Jerry saw him, and he ran up to him a few steps, seeing that Zhao Xiu was a little excited, he took a deep breath, tried his best to put away his excess emotions, "Ninth Brother, you are here. "

"Yeah." Zhao Xiu looked at Jerry in a racing suit. Wearing such a suit, this kid seemed to be a different person. He looked much more energetic, and he could hardly see his original limp personality. It was a bit messy, and there were white bandages on her hands.

"Take me there." Zhao Xiu said, he looked at the position where the group of racers were standing, there were members of Black Mountain behind them, and even among the group of drivers, there were people they arranged.

Jerry glanced at him hesitantly, "Forget it, Brother Nine, I can still drive." He raised his hand.

"Do you want to die?" Using such a hand to compete is not courting death, what is it? "Take me there." It was almost a commanding tone. Jerry subconsciously nodded, and when he came back to his senses, Zhao Xiu was already walking ahead alone.

He trotted forward, and Zhao Xiu just walked into the middle of the group of racers. His ordinary attire is usually nothing, but at this time he became very conspicuous in the crowd.

Such a traffic jam is actually not necessary to wear a racing suit. This is not a legitimate race, but a gamble.

But Montenegro is different. They start the game, and people have to act according to their regulations.

Therefore, among a group of people wearing racing suits, Zhao Xiu was like an oddball.

The racing drivers who were still talking stopped when they saw him approaching, and looked at him in surprise.

Zhao Xiu smiled at one of the men with braids.

"How about a bet with me?"
