It was just as Secretary Zhang had said. These three projects required a lot of work. Just from the layout and foundation, they were big projects.
Once completed, they would add a lot of color to the county.
Zhang Hongbing acted as a translator and explained the details of the three major projects to us in detail.
Our last stop was the original eco-tourism city.
I didn't know why the workers hadn't started work yet.
The eco-tourism city had taken shape, and it was quite big and magnificent.
Everything looked so peaceful and pleasant.
However, I knew that the more peaceful things were, the more hidden things people didn't know about.
Or even a conspiracy.
Secretary Zhang kept talking about the details of the projects. Zhang Hongbing added a few words from time to time, which made Secretary Zhang feel disgusted.
At a construction site, a large oval-shaped building had taken shape.
Secretary Zhang explained, "This is a leisure center. When people are tired from shopping or playing around, they can come here to rest.
It provides all kinds of leisure food and drinks, as well as health care services.
Don't underestimate this small place. It's in the center of the eco-tourism city. Whoever controls it will control the whole situation.
You can think of it as a point, and you can use the point to cover the whole area … "
I smiled. "I don't understand.
It's such a profound business theory. I can't understand it. "
As soon as he said that, hurried footsteps resounded. Then, a group of men stormed out of the oval-shaped building, surrounding us in the middle.
Secretary Zhang was frightened. His face paled. He shouted at Zhang Hongbing, "Hurry up! Call the police! Call the police!"
However, Zhang Hongbing didn't have the chance to call the police. A dozen people surrounded us.
You Meng and I didn't feel flustered because all of this was within our expectations.
I glanced at the men surrounding us and fixed my eyes on a man wearing a black windbreaker. Of course, he was also looking at me.
It was one of my classmates, Sun Tao.
"It's you?" I pretended to be surprised.
Sun Tao took a step forward and snorted. "It's me.
Old classmate, you didn't expect it, did you? "
I asked, "Can you tell me why?"
Zhang Hongbing, who was trembling in fear, pulled himself together and warned Sun Tao and the others. "What are you doing?
Do you know what you're doing? "
Sun Tao lifted his knee and kicked him, "F * ck your mother, what are you yelling for?"
Zhang Hongbing staggered backward, groaning as he fell to the ground.
Sun Tao's gaze landed on Secretary Zhang as he sneered, "Secretary Zhang, thank you.
If it wasn't for your appearance, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been so successful.
Today, I'll have to trouble you, but I promise I won't hurt you!
Secretary Zhang's face turned red. "Who, who are you?
What do you want? "
Sun Tao said, "Who I am is not important.
More importantly, I have some personal grudges with this Zhao Long. "
Secretary Zhang said, "What does that have to do with me?"
Sun Tao said, "It has nothing to do with you, but since you're here, why don't you show your support?"
Secretary Zhang snorted coldly. "I don't want to support this event.
You better get out of my way before I change my mind! "
Sun Tao said, "What good ideas do you have?
Who do you think you are? "
I interrupted their pale and comical conversation with a bit of disgust and said, "Okay, stop acting.
You used this method to trick me into coming here. Why are you two acting together? "
Secretary Zhang quickly explained, "Secretary Zhao, please don't misunderstand. I really don't know him. I really don't know him!"
I frowned and asked, "You really don't know him?"
Secretary Zhang nodded. "I don't know him.
If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhang Hongbing.
Ask him! "He pointed at Zhang Hongbing, who had just gotten up from the ground.
I ignored him and said to Sun Tao, "Tell me, why? What do you want?"
Sun Tao laughed darkly. "It seems you really want to know the answer.
Okay, I'll tell you.
After all, we're old classmates. Even if I die, I'll let you know! "
Sun Tao pulled open the side of his windbreaker, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth. "You ruined Mr. Chen's overall plan. This is the reason."
I pretended to be surprised. "Oh?
How long have you been bought by Chen Fusheng? "
Sun Tao blew out a puff of smoke and corrected me. "Wrong.
It's not me, it's us.
You must remember our classmates, right?
To tell you the truth, we're all Mr. Chen's people. "
I pretended to be enlightened. "So that's how it is.
No wonder. I was puzzled at the time. Why did so many of my classmates, who I had never contacted, suddenly appear in Beijing?
So, you're all pawns bought by Chen Fusheng to restrict him, right? "
Sun Tao clapped. "That's right.
No one wants to go against money. "
I probed, "But Chen Fusheng has already been executed!
Do you think it's worth it to work for a prisoner? "
Sun Tao said, "A prisoner?
Yes, that's right. Mr. Chen trusted you wrongly and lost miserably. He even lost himself.
You're really cunning. Mr. Chen spent so much effort to test you, but you always got through. "
I said, "Isn't the biggest reason for your existence to test me?"
Sun Tao shook his head slightly. "Not entirely.
Testing is just one aspect.
Our existence is more important to prevent it.
Once you do something wrong to the Tianlong Company, we can quietly control you and your family in the name of your old classmate.
Because we have the most say in your situation in your hometown.
Facts have proven that Mr. Chen's foresight is right! "
I sneered. "So what if it's true?
Chen Fusheng has already been arrested. No matter how well you did, you can't claim credit.
It's all useless. "
Sun Tao laughed. "How do you know it's useless?
The night before you came back, someone gave us a large sum of money.
Our mission was to send you to the guillotine when you went to visit your family.
That's the only result. "
I frowned. "Oh?
Who gave you that?
The Heavenly Dragon Organization has been completely destroyed. Who can mobilize you? "
Sun Tao said, "You don't need to know.
You thought the Heavenly Dragon was dead, but it's still alive.
It's just like an earthworm. You cruelly destroyed a part of it, but the other part is reborn. "
I said, "Don't be an alarmist!
There are only a few people left in the Tianlong Company.
Only Qi Mengna and her father are related to the Heavenly Dragon Organization.
Ishikawa Yoshiko and Okamura Tatsuo are far away in Japan.
Could it be that you were instructed by Qi Mengna? "
Sun Tao said, "You're smart.
But smart to the point of being stupid!
Qi Mengna is nothing. She's just a nobody. "
I asked, "Then who is she?"
Sun Tao said, "Do you still need to know?"
I said, "You don't have to say.
That's because you don't realize your current situation. "
Sun Tao was startled, then he laughed. "My situation?
You're really calm.
I'm afraid I should be the one saying that, right? "
I said, "You're too confident.
I was able to avoid Chen Fusheng's schemes time and time again, but I didn't expect you to deal with me in advance.
Besides, do you think you can control us with just a few people? "
Sun Tao suddenly waved his right hand and raised his voice. "What about now? What do you think?"
In an instant, more than a dozen people took out their pistols and pointed them at me and You Meng.
This sudden turn of events made Secretary Zhang, who had been trembling at the side, tremble in fear.
I couldn't help but scold him. "Secretary Zhang, Magistrate Liu!
Why are you still pretending?
You cooperated with them to lure me here, and you're still pretending to be the victim?!
What, are you afraid you won't be able to keep your position? "
Secretary Zhang's face was covered in cold sweat. "I, I, I really didn't lure them here.
It really wasn't me. "
"Coward!"
Sun Tao scolded and pulled the trigger, shooting Secretary Zhang in the thigh. Secretary Zhang groaned and knelt on the ground.
I was stunned!
How ruthless!
Sun Tao smiled and blew the muzzle, showing off to me. "You didn't expect my marksmanship to be so accurate, did you?
I can tell you that these people are all sharpshooters.
Niu Dezhu and the others, who are on another mission, are also sharpshooters.
Before that, we went through a month of closed-door intensive training. Although it was only a month, let me tell you, this one month's time allowed us to undergo earth-shattering changes. It was a complete transformation! "
I frowned and said, "For money."
Sun Tao agreed. "Yes, for money.
No one has a grudge against money.
Eight figures in cash, and unimpeded business in Beijing.
If it were you, would you be able to resist it? "
I asked in return, "What do you think?"
Sun Tao slapped himself on the head. "Aiya, I forgot!
You're a freak who doesn't recognize the Six Pure Ones and is immune to all kinds of poisons!
Mr. Chen gave you everything, but you didn't realize it.
You're destined to be poor for the rest of your life.
Your family is the same. You're poor.
The opportunity was right in front of you, but you didn't cherish it. "
I said, "It seems you've been brainwashed."
Sun Tao smiled. "I've always been brainwashed by money.
My brain was born for money!
Alright, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. Now, come with us!
Otherwise, this place will be your grave.
You should know that this place is very safe. A few shots won't affect you. "
I smiled. "You're too confident!
Sun Tao, let me tell you, there were many times when dozens or even hundreds of guns were pointed at me, but they still couldn't do anything to me.
You think you're that good with just a dozen guns? "
Sun Tao smiled and asked, "What, you can fly?
I don't believe it, but even if you can fly, you'll be shot into a sieve in the air.
Unless you're Tu Xing Sun and can drill into the ground.
Sometimes, it's safer to go underground than to fly. "
I burst out laughing. "Then open your eyes and take a good look!"
Sun Tao frowned. "What do you mean?"
Just as he finished talking to himself, he was stunned.
