Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1155 Suspected Murder

The Lin family's house was filled with white silk, and two groups of drummers and musicians took turns playing mournful music.

The people who came to pay their respects had solemn faces, sighed, and lined up to burn incense for the deceased.

The atmosphere was sad and solemn.

The scene was grand.

However, when almost everyone looked at the woman who was kneeling beside the brazier where paper money was burned, in a daze and sobbing silently, there was a sharp look in their eyes and an expression of hatred.

Among the people watching around, there were many who pointed at the woman and whispered.

There was a lot of noise outside the courtyard gate, which attracted everyone's attention.

The leader was seen striding across the courtyard, not caring about the people he bumped into. After seeing him clearly, a sturdy young man standing not far from the woman in mourning immediately came up to greet him with a few followers.

The two sides approached.

Without waiting for the sturdy young man to speak, Li Jiankun raised his leg and kicked him.

The sturdy young man was caught off guard and nearly fell backwards. Fortunately, the followers behind him supported him. However, after he subconsciously supported him, several followers seemed to be electrocuted. They scattered in panic, but they did not go far. They stood at attention around and lowered their heads like children who had made mistakes.

The sturdy young man who was kicked by Li Jiankun walked back to the place where he was kicked, with his head drooping, and looked almost the same as several of his followers.

Li Jiankun swung his fists left and right, while his feet were also not idle. He knocked the sturdy young man to the ground and then stomped on him hard.

Even though his face was pressed to the ground and his mouth was full of dust, the sturdy young man remained silent.

Li Jianxun stepped forward, grabbed his brother, and shouted, "What are you doing?!"

Li Jiankun ignored him, his eyes bloodshot as he glanced at the locals crowded in the yard, cursing, "You rubbish! Worse than pigs and dogs! Have your consciences been eaten by dogs, or are your brains filled with feces?!"

Many villagers in Camellia Village knew his identity and did not dare to look him in the eye. Wherever his gaze fell, people lowered their heads.

Even the old village party secretary is the same.

What can we do?

Not to mention anything else, this cement road leading into the village was built with money paid for by others, although it seemed that it was only intended to make travel more convenient for his sister who had just learned to drive that year.

But it is a fact that it benefits the entire Camellia Village.

"Who the hell are you scolding?!"

However, there were also people who did not recognize the face and were not happy to be scolded like this.

A young man with a crew cut, nicknamed Erpi, rushed out from the crowd. He had just come out. He had never respected anyone in his life, but since Principal Lin had passed away, he had to kowtow to him.

After he was sentenced to five years in prison, his wife ran away, leaving behind a daughter.

It was a blessing that the old mother could take care of her daughter and not let her starve to death. How could she afford to send her daughter to school?

Principal Lin personally found his home and picked up his daughter to go to school for free.

During this period of time, I watched my daughter doing her homework seriously every day. Her handwriting was so good. Each small square was exactly the same size, as if it had been measured with a ruler. Anyway, Erpi would never be able to write like that in his life. My daughter would even give her free textbooks and ask her to help check if she had finished reciting. Her little voice was like an oriole. The words that made people dizzy just by looking at them came out of her little mouth, revealing a sense of spirituality.

Er Pi always holds his textbook, covering his face, and smiles from ear to ear.

There was no reason for him to pay back the debts he had incurred through his own fault, but he had decided to pay back the tuition and miscellaneous fees he owed to Principal Lin for several years, plus interest.

One thing must be emphasized, sometimes when looking at his daughter, he also thought about finding a proper job, it's not that he didn't look for it, but people like him, no one wanted to work as a bricklayer at a construction site, so he had to go back to his old job. Fortunately, his years in jail were not in vain, which is called experience in the underworld, and he easily gained a group of younger brothers. Isn't this planning to make a fortune?

Who would have thought that God would be jealous of talented people.

Before he could collect all the money he owed, Principal Lin passed away.

After the second thug rushed out, the few younger brothers who came with him were naturally not idle either. They pointed at Li Jiankun, with fierce looks on their faces, and walked forward with arrogant attitudes, ready to give Li Jiankun a beating.

"oops!"

A kick flew up from the side and hit the second thug.

It was the sturdy young man who had just been beaten to death by Li Jiankun. He was like a wounded tiger, pinning the two hooligans to the ground and beating them up like crazy.

The younger brothers of both sides were not idle and soon started fighting.

However, there was a huge disparity in strength, and the situation was one-sided. Soon, the sturdy young man's group formed, each of them held one person under him and beat him to death, as if they were holding back a breath.

Especially the strong young man, every punch he threw was already splashing blood.

He looked back at Li Jiankun and saw that the latter didn't say anything.

Bang bang bang!

The punches became stronger and more frequent.

He turned his head to look at Li Jianming again, and seeing that the latter still had no reaction, he glanced around, stood up, grabbed a long bench from the side, held it in both hands, held it upright, and prepared to smash it hard at Er Pi's face that was swollen like a pig's head.

The whole audience was shocked.

Isn't this going to be fatal?

"Enough." Li Jiankun said in a low voice.

The bench stopped less than ten centimeters away from Er Pi's face.

The sturdy young man turned his head to look at the man who was speaking, his eyes red, and roared: "I was wrong! It was my fault that I failed to protect my elder sister!"

His name is Agui, which means noble.

In fact, he was born in a very poor family. When he was 20 years old, he heard that the economy of the Special Administrative Region was developing rapidly and was recruiting a large number of workers with good treatment. So he came to the Special Administrative Region to work with a simple bag. In an electronics factory run by a Hong Kong businessman, he met a girl who was also working there.

He thought he had found happiness, and began to save money harder, hoping to marry her home. He dreamed of this every day, and the two of them dreamed of this together and talked about everything.

Until one evening, when Agui saw the girl again, he found that she was crying and in a trance.

She lost her virginity and was raped by a manager in the factory, a man from Gangcheng.

Agui was furious.

The girl advised him not to do anything stupid, saying that the man was not someone they could afford to offend, but he really couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He understood all the reasons, and before deciding to act, he thought that he should at least let people understand why he did this. He was not a bad person, just a beast who deserved to be killed!

He knew someone, although they didn't know her very well, but everyone said she was a good person and her words carried weight.

One evening, he came to the Workers' Home and met the person in charge, Sang Dongqin.

That is Chen Yajun’s ex-girlfriend.

After listening to Agui's words, Sang Dongqin realized that she could not stop him. After finding a reason to delay him temporarily, she rushed to the Huadian factory and found Li Jiankun to explain the situation.

Li Jiankun had many purposes for establishing the Workers' Home, such as making it easier to recruit qualified workers in the future, and one thing: he hoped that the workers could unite and not be bullied by unscrupulous bosses.

The source of this mentality has a previous cause. He has actually seen people being treated like donkeys or horses.

Well, since he was the one who founded the Workers' Home, and now that workers are suffering such great humiliation and he has learned about it, he cannot just ignore it.

It just so happened that this electronics factory was a supplier of Huadian, and Li Jiankun immediately contacted the other party’s boss.

That night Li Jiankun brought Agui to the electronics factory. In an office, the manager who caused Agui's girlfriend to lose her innocence was kneeling on the ground and trembling.

His boss suggested to Li Jiankun that he should break his third leg.

Li Jiankun looked at Agui, and Agui thought that it would be more satisfying than killing the beast, so he nodded in agreement.

When the boss's bodyguard was about to take action, something unusual happened. Agui's girlfriend suddenly rushed in from outside the door, protected the manager kneeling on the ground, and begged the boss to let him go.

Agui stood there in a daze, his mind shut down.

The woman said sorry to the manager as she helped him leave.

They say that men don't shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet.

That night Agui cried his heart out.

On the way back, Li Jiankun asked Zhang Fu to park the car on the side of the road where there was no one around, let him cry, and asked Zhang Fu to buy a bottle of wine.

Agui will never forget what he said in his life.

He walked up and handed me the wine, saying, "Drink some. The pain won't come when you're drunk."

Ah Gui did as he was told. However, as a rough man from the countryside, he was not good at anything else but could hold his liquor. The more he drank, the more sober he became. He asked, "Why? Why?"

"What answer do you want to hear? That some women aren't worth it?"

The man lit a cigarette, took a sip, and said slowly, "In fact, there are very few loves in this world that can withstand the test of time, and they will become fewer and fewer in the future. The so-called loyalty is just because the chips for betrayal are not enough.

"No one can guarantee that they will find everlasting love. If your partner runs away with someone else, the greater responsibility lies with you."

Agui suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, as if he was going to fight him to the death in the next second.

The man sneered and asked, "What do you have? A large deposit, a house in a garden community in Hong Kong City, or a university diploma?"

Agui was silent.

"That man had everything. He came to the mainland because he was frustrated and divorced. He was indeed a beast for once, but after the incident he promised to marry her.

"Now suppose you are a woman and he takes your virginity away from you, then tell me, what would you choose?"

Agui clenched his fists until they made a crackling sound, then slowly released them.

The man threw down his cigarette butt, crushed it with his shiny leather shoes, shrugged, and said before turning around: "Stay alive, only if you stay alive can you hope to marry a better wife than her."

When Li Jiankun took a few steps, a voice suddenly came from behind him, "I know you!"

"Oh?"

When Li Jiankun turned around, he found Agui kneeling on one knee, holding his head high and saying, "I want to work for you. I am clear-minded now and I am not afraid of death. You are the only one in the world who understands me best. If you give me a chance, I will give you my life."

At that time, the Huadian Industrial Park was under construction. Such a large project involved many aspects. For example, there were always people who could not be fed due to demolition; for example, there were always little devils eyeing various building materials, so it really required some ruthless people.

So Li Jiankun accepted him.

In the days that followed, Agui, relying on his ruthlessness and fearlessness, gradually grew into a small figure with many subordinates.

After the second sister came here, she did not live in the special zone. As everyone knows, there are always people hanging around outside the second-line customs who want to sneak in, all kinds of people. Li Jiankun was worried about her safety, but he knew that if he directly sent her two bodyguards, she would definitely not accept them. So the task of secret protection fell on Agui.

Only now, he was very dissatisfied!

"You piece of shit, fists are never the most hurtful thing. Others don't understand, but you don't?!"

After saying this, Li Jiankun didn't bother to look at him again and strode towards his second sister who was in the arms of his old mother.

Past events emerged in his mind. Ah Gui's eyes were bloodshot, like a dying beast. He looked around and squeezed out a hoarse voice from his throat, "Whoever dares to look at me with ill intentions again, I will kill him!"

Everyone lowered their brows and eyes, and was silent.

----

Lin Yun's funeral was presided over by Lin Xinjia and was a grand funeral.

The Li family hardly intervened. This morning, after the family went up the mountain, they stayed until the last shovel of soil was covered on the grave. After that, the Li family did not show up for the trivial matters, or rather, they did not bother to get in the way.
