"Skinny monkey, you don't know, the ants are moving, it's going to rain..."

Ding Ran couldn't figure out why he would think of this sentence at such a critical moment.

At this moment, in Thailand, there are no back alleys bathed in golden sunset, no high walls covered with thick moss, and no little curly hairs fluttering in the wind, only outside the stone bunker, constantly approaching, Footsteps of the enemy!

But the sound of thunder continued to hover in his ears, the clear and high-pitched child's voice many years ago - "Hey, that skinny monkey, let's play together... let's play together... let's play..." lingering go.

His palms were slippery with sweat, but he clenched the gun even more firmly.No matter what kind of predicament we face, I will continue to play with you!Have fun!

Suddenly someone patted his shoulder lightly, and Ding Ran waved his arm slightly to signal Ah Ren behind him not to act rashly.The hand clapped again, Ding Ran sensed something was wrong, and immediately turned around with his gun in his hand, he saw Ah Ren standing there with his hands raised high, with a jet-black gun barrel on his temples, the man holding the gun was a fat man from the Dayuan Gang.

The fat man smiled sinisterly: "If you don't want to see his head explode, just obediently throw away the gun!" After speaking, he pulled off the safety lock.

Ding Ran's brain was running fast, thinking about the way to escape, he raised his hand expressionlessly, loosened his fingers, and the gun fell to his feet.The fat man carefully placed the muzzle of the gun against Ah Ren's forehead, and stretched out his toes to try to hook the gun in front of Ding Ran to his side.

The anti-triad hero didn't know where the courage came from. Taking advantage of the fat man's distraction, he withdrew abruptly, grabbed the gun body with one hand, and slashed vigorously at the opponent's wrist with the other.Fatty couldn't defend himself, so he dropped the gun. Without any hesitation, Ah Ren shot back with a handsome backhand—but it didn't go off!It turned out that the gun fired randomly during the pursuit just now, and it had already run out of bullets. No wonder the fat man didn't attack immediately, but had to hand over Ding Ran's weapon first.

Ah Ren froze on the spot, but was kicked out by the fat man, hit the rock, rolled down to the ground again, and lay there motionless.

Ding Ranfei rushed towards his own gun, but he was half a beat behind. Although the fat man shot at the same time, he used his body weight to knock him into the air. He picked up the pistol and aimed it with a grin.

Ding Ran closed his eyes, and the gunshot rang out immediately, but he didn't feel the pain of being hit.Opening his eyes, the fat man's sturdy body collapsed, with a big hole in the back of his head, bleeding gurglingly, not far away, stood Luo Xiaosheng and his men.

Luo Xiaosheng flew forward and pulled Ding Ran: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

Ding Ran shook his head: "Thank you Brother Xiaosheng, if you hadn't arrived in time, I would have been the one who died at the gunpoint!" Then he felt a little weak, his back was soaked in sweat, and his feet were shaking uncontrollably. Good luck not falling to the ground.You don't even need to think about it, you must be in a mess.

The anti-black hero's head was knocked out by a stone, and he got up in a daze, staring blankly at the fat man who died on the ground, with a dazed expression on his face.

In just a few hours, it can be described as thrilling.Going to investigate Dayuan's warehouse, accidentally exposed, was chased and killed all the way, almost died at gunpoint, but was rescued strangely, Ding Ran's thinking was a little confused.While feeling lucky, he always felt that something was not quite right. He reached into his pocket, touched a few fragments of the mobile phone, rubbed them with his fingertips, and his calm eyes were covered with a layer of mist...

Two days later, the goods were processed and they could have rested in Thailand for a few days, but Ding Ran insisted on returning to Lidao immediately.That day was Lei Ting's birthday, and he wanted to say "Happy Birthday" before twelve o'clock. He knew that for Lei Ting, the best gift was himself.

After getting off the plane, before he could take a breath, he made a phone call with Daodao, and hurried to Dingtian.

The arena was noisy, with demons dancing wildly, and no one paid attention to Ding Ran's arrival.Turning around in the hall, he didn't find any sign of curly hair. He casually pulled a drunk younger brother to ask Lei Ting's whereabouts. The younger brother couldn't tell who the person in front of him was, so he just pointed to the lounge next to him.

Ding Ran couldn't bear the eagerness to reunite after a long absence, he ran a few steps briskly, stopped again, stepped back carefully, seeing no one was around, and quietly examined himself through the mirror effect of the glass wall in the corridor.Her hair was long and a little messy. Combing all her bangs to one side made her feel refreshed.When fighting with the fat man, two red marks were drawn on the chin, and the zipper was lifted up forcefully, barely covering it.A fallen hair on the shoulder, carefully plucked.

Ding Ran didn't take a deep breath until he couldn't find any faults, and pushed open the door of the lounge happily but with a little trepidation, with a smile on his face that he didn't even realize.

The lighting in the lounge was dim, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere mixed with alcohol and cologne.Lei Ting was lying disheveled on the sofa, and A Li leaned against him with an intoxicated expression, one gently stroking the upper cheek, and the other tightly grasping the lower shoulder...

Ding Ran focused on appreciating this affectionate picture, his eyes slowly slipped, fixed on his toes, and after three seconds, he gently closed the door and backed out.

Dao Dao happened to wander over, saw Ding Ran, and greeted Ding Ran enthusiastically: "Ding Ding, why didn't you find me when you arrived, you are so ruthless towards your friends!"

Ding Ran didn't speak, just smiled a little, turned around and walked downstairs through the corner of the hall.

He went inside without knowing the knife, and asked in vain behind his back: "Hey, Ding Ding! What's the matter? Don't look for it, the boss is here..." He twisted the handle, inadvertently taking a panoramic view of the scene Ding Ran just saw , opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and said to himself, "No way!"

Dao Shaoqian chased out the gate and called Ding Ran: "Wait a minute, Ding Ding, the boss just..."

Ding Ran interrupted him softly: "Don't tell me anything, it will embarrass me." After finishing speaking, he left his friend, got into the car, drove out of the clubhouse steadily, and left in a hurry.

Driving all the way back to Dongsantiao Avenue, the sky started to drizzle in response to the occasion.Ding Ran didn't get out of the car, but quietly watched the passing pedestrians and vehicles through the misty window.A child ran away from its mother holding an umbrella, and deliberately stepped on a puddle with its feet in red rain boots, kicking mud and water, and giggling.

Ding Ran stared blankly, with a bit of indifference in his eyes.Suddenly, he found a small smudge on the car window, frowned, and quickly took out a tissue to wipe it off.

How can his things be stained, how can he tolerate the existence of stains!

The harder you use your hand, the more you can't wipe it clean, and the paper scraps fall down one after another, so you try harder to wipe it.After fighting with the window for half an hour, it seemed to be clear and spotless, but in Ding Ran's eyes, the stains were still there, and they would stay there forever!

"Dong dong", someone knocked on the car window outside, it was Luo Xiaosheng.Ding Ran hesitated for a moment, but did not move.

Luo Xiaosheng opened the car door on his own initiative and sat in, put away the umbrella, and stuffed a can of hot coffee in Ding Ran's hand: "I saw you cleaning the windows here just now, why didn't you go in? Ah Ran, you can't always It's a dead end. Why bother to worry about such an emotionless object as a car window? It's too worthless. If you want to feel comfortable, just change it!"

Ding Ran focused on fiddling with the coffee and remained silent.

Luo Xiaosheng considered it for a while, and asked sincerely: "Aran, how are you thinking about my previous proposal?" Without waiting for Ding Ran to answer, he persuaded him earnestly, "You must also know that Mr. Xi and his son have been talking about it openly and secretly. Compete with me for the drug business. Of course, in the final analysis, everyone is doing things for the community. If you have money, you can make money together, and if you have risks, you should cooperate sincerely. I don’t want to eat alone. The problem is that some people clearly Insufficient ability, just relying on qualifications to be old enough to occupy an incompetent position. If things go on like this, it will be extremely detrimental to the entire community. You and I are both father's children, and we must put the overall situation first. If you are willing to come and help me, our brother Together, we will have a bright future.”

After a long silence, Ding Ran bit his lip and raised his head, and asked lately, "What...do I need to do?"

Luo Xiaosheng showed a gratified smile: "Haha, Aran, brother-in-law is so happy that you can figure it out. I believe your sister will be just as happy."

Ding Ran pursed his lips and smiled briefly and shyly.

"Don't rush everything, take your time." Luo Xiaosheng warned carefully, "My master knows that we are back, so he must not wait to see Dad. You have to pay attention to what they are talking about—of course, I definitely don't want you to spy on Dad." However, judging from the current situation, Master Xi has already taken the lead, so there is no guarantee that he will use some dishonorable means, so we have to guard against it."

Ding Ran listened carefully, and nodded obediently: "Okay, leave it to me. Mr. Xi always treats me like a child and never guards against it."

Luo Xiaosheng patted Ding Ran affectionately on the shoulder: "Father trusts you the most. This time you participated in the trip to Thailand. Before the meeting, he will ask you for your opinion. I will email you a plan later, and I will send you a proposal when I arrive. You just need to convey the meaning inside to Dad."

"Brother Xiaosheng..." Ding Ran thought for a while, and said in embarrassment, "Godfather has always been a fair man, and will never show any favoritism just because we are his children. If you want me to convince him, you have to... ...teach me more."

Luo Xiaosheng was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's natural, why don't you find a quiet place, have a drink and chat slowly..."

The sound of the rain grew louder, covering the secret words.

A few streets away, at the Roche Hospital, Dr. Luo stood in his spacious and gorgeous office, trimming the exquisite potted plants on the mahogany shelf.

Carefully removed two unsightly messy branches, looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the man in black who was quietly drinking tea on the sofa: "I have lived for so many years, what has not happened? Whether it is a man or a woman, The most fragile relationship between people is love. Falling in love is very simple, one look, one movement and one word, and the sky thunder will stir the fire, love to death. Hate is also very simple, one look, one movement and one sentence When you are in love, you can make so many vows, and when you hate, you can have so many vicious hearts." He put down the scissors, wiped his fingers with a silk handkerchief, and snorted contemptuously, " That kind of circle is very chaotic. Why do you love me and I love him and he loves you? In the final analysis, it’s just a bed partner. How can there be so much love in the world than Jin Jian!”

The man in black didn't speak, but laughed twice.

A week later, the grandpas and hall masters of the Tongsheng Association gathered in Dongyi Avenue.

Beneath the gold plaque with the words "Reinforcing the Righteousness and Eliminating Traitors", Mr. Ding held a cup of tea in his hand and listened calmly to the war of words between several factions around him.

Mr. Xi took the lead in attacking: "Xiaosheng, logically speaking, this is the first time you have come into contact with Nachai alone, and it is a great achievement to be able to bring the goods back smoothly. However, the goods are [-]% more expensive than last year , I'm curious whether the money went into Nachai's pocket or someone else's pocket!"

Luo Xiaosheng smiled slightly, and replied politely: "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Luo, the accounts of the transactions between the Luo family and Nachai are very clear, and they are regularly handed over to the club. On the other hand, Master, I heard that the profits handed over to the club have been reduced by [-]%, but who pockets the money has gone into?"

Without waiting for Master Xi to speak, Dahua accused impatiently: "Axi, you have always been doing the bulk shipments, and the delivery volume is getting smaller and smaller every year. I don't know what you are doing! I heard that three Within a day, more than a dozen venues were swept away by the note, and the opponents were not well managed, half of Ma Zai sucked the white noodles, if it continues like this, I advise you to give up your position as soon as possible!"

Mr. Xi smoked a cigarette with a gloomy expression. For a long time, hehe sneered and said, "Since the conversation has come to this point, I don't care about everyone's face. Lidao is so big, of course we are not the only ones who are engaged in white powder pills. They all think that the drug business Good money, Dayuan Gang, Xiaohexing, Longsheng... Sesame and mung bean big associations also stepped in. Those scattered small gangs are not capable of running the Golden Triangle and Golden Crescent. It is said that they all buy goods from Pineapple Street in the West District. Are those unnamed brick factories on Pineapple Street really unowned? I’m afraid there are quite a few of them surnamed Luo?” He glanced at Luo Xiaosheng eccentrically, then turned to Dahua, “Of course there must be someone surnamed Hua!”

As soon as the words fell to the ground, there were whispers in the venue.

Luo Xiaosheng was startled. The Luo family took advantage of the opportunity to purchase goods for the guild over the years, and brought a lot of private goods, and joined forces with Dahua to sell them at low prices outside. Because they didn't need to pay dividends, they made a lot of money.This matter was done very secretly, how could Master Xi know?How much do you know?Is it hard evidence, or guesswork?He didn't dare to act rashly, and secretly observed Master Ding's expression.

But Dahua couldn't bear it anymore, and retorted: "Bloody mouth! Ah Xi, just say what you want, don't beat around the bush, trying to slander me Dahua, it's not that easy, just show real evidence if you have the ability!"

Cui Fang with a dull expression also said, "Ah Xi, it's best not to talk nonsense about things without evidence, otherwise people with ulterior motives will listen to it and make a big fuss out of it."

Seeing someone helping out, Dahua became even more arrogant: "Okay, Ah Xi, stop rambling, how many people in the club are waiting to have a meal every day! In a word, whoever can make money will be the leader. If you can't do well, let us Make a seat for someone who has the ability to make money."

Faced with Dahua's barrage of persecution, Master Xi was a little impatient: "I can give up my position, but I advise those young people who want to take over the position, don't be too impatient! Do you think you can eat everywhere? Huh, I just heard the news that the customs Director Fang's secretary was brought by the ICAC to assist in the investigation, I don't know what dark history Mr Fang has, but the benefits he got from you alone are enough to put him in prison for several lifetimes!"

Although Luo Xiaosheng remained calm on the surface, his heart suddenly turned cold.Mr. Fang was originally his trump card. Over the years, only by relying on the surname of Fang, the goods were able to enter the customs smoothly every time.Knowing that something was going to happen recently, he couldn't wait to use Mr. Fang as a bargaining chip to snatch the bulk cargo business from Mr. Xi.

Unexpectedly, Master Xi had figured out his intentions. Not only did he know that he wanted to speak out against Chief Fang, but he even dug up the inside information that Chief Fang was about to fall.

In desperation, Luo Xiaosheng forced himself to be calm and said, "Which Chief Fang? In our business, we have to deal with all kinds of officials. Who would put all their eggs in one basket!"

Beside Master Ding, Master Qi whispered with Master Jiu seemingly unintentionally: "There is another Chief Fang who is implicated now? I heard that Deputy Chief Bao and his gang are under control, hahaha, once the emperor is in charge Courtiers, the political world is really changing."

Master Jiu cursed and complained in a rough voice: "The government is chaotic, even more chaotic than the fucking underworld! Boring politicians sneeze, and we all have a cold and fever! It's unreasonable!"

Following their words, the people around were also chattering, and the formal issues were still clueless.

At this time, from the corner of the long table, a heavy male voice resounded loudly: "Grandpas, I have something to say..."
