Chapter 2 Chapter Two

The Jinguang Avenue in the center of Golden Phoenix is ​​full of traffic and lights. Tianlong Hotel is located in the central area of ​​Cotai Strip, which is the commercial and financial center.This hotel, which cost more than 50 million yuan to build, is top-notch in Jinhuang City, and it is also one of the few in Tiancheng City.The hotel is eleven stories high, and looks like a sailing ship from the outside, with colorful neon lights setting off the luxurious outline.The facilities in the hotel are all available, restaurants, baths, ktv singing, accommodation, fitness and entertainment, etc.The decoration of this hotel is very distinctive.Walking into the hotel, what you see is a huge dark green jade relief "Smooth sailing". Decorative paintings made of jade can be seen everywhere in the aisles and rooms, which shows that the owner loves jade, and it may also be a way of doing business or publicity. .

Room 5188 is a presidential suite. Standing at the door are two young men in black suits with stern and serious faces.At this time, a man hurried over, and the two young men bowed their heads to him, and called "Hello Hong Ye". The man didn't look at them directly, only the scar on his face kept twitching, and his mouth seemed to move: "Is Brother Long there?" "Waiting for you." The two pushed open the door, let Scarface in, and then closed the door. "Brother Long", Hong Dacheng bowed his head humbly and called after entering, it was completely different from his behavior outside.

The man behind the boss's desk didn't respond.This is the man fishing by the lake, nearly forty years old, wearing a Pierre Cardin suit, with well-combed hair, a square face, a broad nose, and a pair of sharp eyes looking straight into people's hearts. Hong Dacheng looked up at the middle-aged man, and found that he was staring at him. He hurriedly looked away and kept rubbing his hands, showing a kind of embarrassment. The middle-aged man moved his upper body, sat up straight on the leather recliner, and stretched out his hand to pull out a Cuban cigar from the cigarette case on the table. Hong Dacheng hurriedly took out the lighter and wanted to light a cigarette for him, but the middle-aged man acted very strangely. Quickly, he flipped on a fine steel lighter, a blue flame burst out, lit the cigarette, and a thick puff of smoke scattered in all directions.

Hong Dacheng retreated in embarrassment. This middle-aged man's name is Liu Tianlong, and he is a well-known figure in Jinhuang City.He is a member of the Standing Committee of the Jinhuang CPPCC, a member of the Tiancheng CPPCC, and the chairman of Tianlong Group. The Tianlong Group he manages is the largest private enterprise in Jinhuang City.Some people say that he is a legend in Golden Phoenix City, and there are many versions about his fortune.Some people say that his grandfather was an officer of the Kuomintang. He left his grandmother and father and went to Taiwan. Later, he remarried in Taiwan, but had no children. After his wife died, he missed his relatives in the mainland very much. The Friendship Association knew that his wife and children had passed away and had only one grandson, so he gave all his property to his grandson; some people said that the ancestor of Liu Tianlong's family was a general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who plundered a lot of gold and precious jade during the war and buried them on his ancestral tomb. , Liu Tianlong dug a lot of gold and silver treasures when he buried his parents' graves, so he made a fortune.In fact, Liu Tianlong was born in a poor peasant family since he was a child. He dropped out of school to work before graduating from junior high school. He worked as a chef and learned clock repairing. , became the leader; then he took a stake in the real estate industry, and the real estate industry has been soaring like bamboo shoots in spring in the past two or three years; the most important thing is that he also controls the sex service industry in Jinhuang City, which is the source of his wealth. An inexhaustible source.

"Where's the thing?" Liu Tianlong blew out a smoke ring, and the smoke ring drifted straight towards Hong Dacheng, and suddenly dispersed when it was about to arrive. Hong Dacheng took out a piece of paper from his upper body pocket, and handed it to Liu Tianlong with both hands. Liu Tianlong unfolded the paper and had a look, with a smile on his face, but immediately returned to the original state.Hong Dacheng has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and his eyes are quite sharp. He still saw this faint smile. "Brother Long, two brothers have suffered minor injuries and have been sent to other hospitals for bandages. But it's okay. Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Hong Dacheng said flatteringly.

"Buy some nutritional supplements for the brothers. Go out, I'll call you if something happens." Liu Tianlong took out two stacks of banknotes from the drawer and threw them to him. Hong Dacheng put the banknotes into his pocket, and said "thank you Brother Long for my brothers" before going out. Hong Dacheng came to the first floor in good spirits, and his subordinate nicknamed "Viper" drove over.He stepped into the car door and said, "Come on, call 'Bear', 'Lion', and 'Tiger' to drink." At this time, his cell phone rang. "Hey, who spoiled my mood? Oh, it's Boss Li, what's the matter?"

"I called you from the telephone booth at the entrance of the Xicheng Transfer Center. Can you come over right away? I want to see you. Something serious happened." Li Zhicheng's anxious voice came intermittently from the phone, The words "something serious happened" followed in a low voice, obviously afraid of being heard, but Hong Dacheng was quite surprised when he heard it. He thought in his heart that the boy must have died.He blamed himself for being careless, but his experience in the rivers and lakes let him know that now is not the time to regret it, the most urgent thing is to block the way out.

"Quick, go to the West City Transfer Center."Hong Dacheng ordered. "Viper" slammed in the direction, and the Nissan sedan made a beautiful U-turn and headed towards the west city. In front of a telephone booth in the Xicheng Transfer Center, the car came to a sudden stop.Hong Dacheng rolled down the car window and said to Li Zhicheng who was looking around, "Get in the car." Li Zhicheng hurriedly got into the car, and said to Hong Dacheng, "Master Hong, something serious happened, someone died, what did you tell me to do?" "Why panic? What's the use of being anxious if things have already happened?" Hong Dacheng pretended to be calm and calm.

"I know you are not afraid, but I am a well-off man, what can I do?" Li Zhicheng sobbed. "Don't worry, let's find a quiet place to talk." Hong Dacheng comforted. The car drove away from the urban area and headed towards the mountains.Along the way, the two never spoke again.About two hours later, they stopped in front of a small courtyard, and the "Viper" got out of the car and opened the courtyard door, and parked the car in the courtyard.Hong Dacheng and Li Zhicheng got out of the car and walked into the house. "Viper" was very disciplined and consciously stood outside the door to watch.

The room was very dark, Hong Dacheng lit the lighter, and pressed the lotus lamp holder by the wall, and saw the scroll in the middle hall slowly rolled up, and a door gap opened automatically in the middle, Hong Dacheng pushed Li Zhicheng, After the two entered, the door closed automatically and the scroll unfolded automatically. Hong Dacheng turned on the light, and the room was suddenly bright.This is a very large cave, forming a whole with the front house.Several bedrooms were dug inside the cave, and the furnishings were extremely simple. "Master Hong, I'm so scared, you won't want to harm me, will you?" Li Zhicheng sighed after witnessing this scene, thinking that he might just escape the wolf's mouth and enter the tiger's den again.

"How could it be? Where are you thinking? I want to protect you." Hong Dacheng handed Li Zhicheng a cigarette, lit it for him, and then lit a cigarette himself. Li Zhi didn't know how to smoke, but at the moment he was so bored, he took a deep breath like Hong Dacheng, coughed until he choked, and his nose and saliva flowed out. "Does your family know about our affairs? Who else knows?" Hong Dacheng asked quietly, staring at Li Zhicheng. Li Zhicheng's legs felt weak, and he felt that Hong Dacheng's eyes were not like human eyes, but like wolf's eyes with green light.He thought it was over, and if his family members knew, he might kill them to silence them.Preserving the lives of the wives and children is of the utmost importance, not to mention that they don't even know about it. "My family doesn't know, two migrant workers from other places don't even want to scare away their wages." "Don't your family know about our cooperation?" Hong Dacheng asked again. "I didn't tell my family, not even my wife Wang Fang." Li Zhicheng blurted out. Hong Dacheng scanned Li Zhi's face here and there carefully, and found that he didn't look like a liar, so he nodded and said, "That's good, that's good." "Master Hong, please forgive me." Li Zhicheng felt more and more that Hong Dacheng's expression was unpredictable, so he knelt down for him with a "plop". "What are you doing? Get up quickly." Hong Dacheng frowned, thinking that this kind of person is really cowardly. Li Zhicheng got up, and said in his mouth: "Master Hong has a lot of benevolence. I am grateful. I can only repay him in the next life." "Where are so many nonsense, you look like a man. You are not allowed to go anywhere, I will find you a place to settle down." Hong Dacheng ordered, strode out and left . After Hong Dacheng left, to be precise, Li Zhicheng was the only one left in the cave. He squatted on the ground with his arms around his head, filled with regret. Li Zhicheng's father was a sent-down educated youth in Shanghai. He divorced and returned to the city when Li Zhicheng was two years old, and has not been heard from since.Her mother raised him alone, and by the age of sixty his hair was all white and his eyes were blind again.His wife was from the lakeside of Fenghuang. Her parents were killed by schistosomiasis since she was a child. Li Zhicheng grew up by the lake and knew how to catch fish and shrimp since he was a child.Later, a small piece of water surface was contracted, and the family became more and more prosperous.In the past few years, he has borrowed money to expand the breeding water, and contracted the Jinyu Bay Fishing Farm, gradually becoming a well-known large breeding household by the Phoenix Lake. Big trees attract wind, and troubles follow.The Changsheng Gang in Jinhuang City often came to collect protection fees. At the beginning, it was a thousand yuan a month. Li Zhicheng was a timid person, so he gave it to him for safety. Tens of thousands of dollars.Li Zhicheng couldn't afford it, so he reported the case to the police station, but he didn't know that many dead fish appeared on the lake the next day. The police station investigated for a long time, but could not solve the case.Although it was suspected that the Changsheng Gang had tampered with it, but because there was no evidence, they could not arrest people casually, so the matter was left alone.The Changsheng Gang became even more aggressive, threatening to make Li Zhicheng disappear mysteriously, so frightened that Li Zhicheng had no choice but to ask for help, and finally found Hong Dacheng, begging him to come forward to settle the matter.Hong Dacheng's request was not high, he only wanted to build a farmhouse on the peninsula next to Jinyu Bay, without Li Zhicheng paying a penny, and both parties would share 82% of the proceeds. Li Zhicheng had some concerns. In fact, Hong Dacheng's request was very attractive. It could not only drive his own breeding, but also gain benefits. It was a best-of-both-worlds strategy for him.What he worries about is that the peninsula is a land of geomantic omen. According to the elders, the Phoenix Lake was originally a sea, but later the earth’s crust changed, and a golden ao turned into Aoshan, and the location of the peninsula is Aotou. The fishermen on the border are safe in all seasons.Jinao is a tortoise, also known as Tai Sui among the people, and it must not break ground on its head. Seeing that Li Zhicheng was full of worries, Hong Dacheng said: "That's superstition, the so-called superstition, you are fascinated first and then believe it. What age is it, and you still believe that kind of nonsense. If you don't agree, I won't care about your business." Said Wan pretended to leave. Li Zhicheng stopped him quickly, agreed to discuss it, and finally bit the bullet and signed the agreement.Hong Dacheng invited the leader of the Changsheng Gang to negotiate and settled the matter with 100,000 yuan.The Changsheng Gang refused, and then the opening scene happened. Thinking of his current situation, Li Zhicheng regretted the agreement he signed, and now he has suffered retribution.He thought about Hong Dacheng saying that he wanted to find a place to settle down for himself, would he kill him so that people would not know the secret between them?This Hong Dacheng was too mysterious, he didn't even allow his subordinates to be around when negotiating and signing the agreement, and told him that only the two of them knew about this matter, and he had to keep his mouth shut to everyone. At this moment, Li Zhicheng's thoughts are all hopeless, he just feels sorry for the old mother who gave birth to him and the first wife who loved him and loved him.He hated Hong Dacheng, if he hadn't forced himself to sign an agreement and angered Tai Sui; if he hadn't slashed and killed people and forced them to fall into the water and drowned to death; "Fight with him," he thought in his heart. The mind has been made up, but the mind is much calmer.Li Zhicheng searched all over the cave, but couldn't find anything to defend himself. Finally, he found a small stone in a corner, and secretly held it in his hand for emergencies. After doing all this well, he waited patiently for Hong Dacheng's arrival. But Hong Dacheng went out, went to a secluded place in the courtyard, and dialed Liu Tianlong's cell phone. "Brother Long, something happened. One of the other party fell into the lake and drowned after being hacked by us." There was a long silence on the phone.After a long time, Liu Tianlong asked, "How do you know?" "The fish boss is in my hands now, he told me, do you want to do it to avoid future troubles?" Hong Dacheng showed a murderous look on his face. "Why do you have no memory? I have warned you repeatedly not to get into a murder case, but you just don't listen. Does anyone else know about this?" Liu Tianlong was obviously angry, which is rare in Hong Dacheng's impression of.He is always very kind and friendly, often saying "Brother, brother" to himself, as if we are too good to distinguish each other. "Brother Long, calm down. I was wrong. Only 'Poisonous Snake' knew about it. That person was also hacked by him and fell into the water. I didn't know that he would drown to death." "Does 'Viper' know about the agreement? I have repeatedly emphasized that we must follow the rules. The fewer people who know, the safer it is. It seems that you have failed my expectations of you." "He doesn't know about the agreement. He only knows that the person he cut fell into the water and drowned. I know what to do." Hong Dacheng said reverently while admitting his mistake. "You know what a fart! Don't kill people, let them live well, especially Li Zhicheng, find a safe place to settle down, and don't let him come back. You and the 'Viper' should stay away for the time being, and wait for the wind to pass. I will notify you to come back again. I will arrange for someone to put 200,000 yuan on your card, save some money, find some work, and don’t let people know what you do.” Liu Tianlong hung up the phone after finishing speaking. Hong Dacheng had a displeased expression on his face. With his character, it seemed like he was doing something to kill Li Zhicheng and cut off this clue so that he disappeared without anyone noticing.Brother Long is now afraid of wolves and tigers in everything now, and he will continue to suffer from it, not at all like a gangster. He walked into the cave resentfully, and said to Li Zhicheng: "Just now I heard from a friend who works in the Public Security Bureau that you are wanted for murder. What are you going to do?" Li Zhicheng murmured: "I didn't kill people, I didn't kill people." Scarface sneered and said: "Although you didn't kill the person, you hired a murderer to kill, which is also a capital crime. Zhuo Ma's husband is a billionaire. Because of hiring a murderer, both brothers were shot. You must also see Get the news." "Then what should I do? I can't clean it up even if I jump into the Yellow River." Li Zhicheng's eyes were dull, and he kept rambling. "If you want to survive, you must listen to me. You will be safe. I will arrange for you to go to a remote place in Shanxi. You must first change your name and surname. Your life is safe. You can do these three things?" Hong Dacheng said. At this moment, Li Zhicheng only wanted to survive, so he hurriedly said, "I listened to Boss Hong, but where do you want to take me in Shanxi?" "I have my own arrangements for this. You first hand over all your documents to me, and you keep the money yourself." Li Zhicheng was a little puzzled, and slowly took out his ID card and driver's license.Hong Dacheng snatched it with his hands and lit it with a lighter. "Why do you leave these troublesome roots? Look through them again, but what else are you missing?" Li Zhicheng rummaged through his pockets. Except for more than two thousand yuan in cash, he didn't have any documents on him. Hong Dacheng took out a headgear from the bag he was carrying, and put it on for Li Zhicheng. Li Zhicheng's short hair turned into curly hair.He asked Li Zhicheng to change his suit again, and found a set of work clothes from the room in the cave for him to change into. Then he walked around Li Zhicheng, looked at him carefully for a while, and said, "From now on, you will not My name is Li Zhicheng, your name is Hu Laifu, from Xiangfan, Hubei, 46 years old this year, divorced, and relying on part-time jobs for a living. You should try to speak as little as possible, and even if you speak, you must use a slight accent to avoid being overheard. remember?" Seeing that Hong Dacheng had no intention of killing him anymore, Li Zhicheng dropped his heart into his chest, and the stone in his hand fell to the ground. He kept nodding and said, "Got it, thank you, Boss Hong, for your teaching." .” "It's not too late, let's go." Hong Dacheng said.A group of three drove through the mountains and ridges to the distant Shanxi.
