It was a cool early autumn, and the sky in the distance was dark and unclear. Only a few street lamps beside the road were shining faintly.

In the yard of a private house with only the main body built in the second group of Liujiaba Village, Deng Yong wrapped his gray jacket tightly and watched the remaining heat of the burned firewood on the ground getting colder until the last gleam of fire in his eyes dimmed.

There was an in-ear earphone hanging in his ear, and the sound of people talking was not obvious from it. Although he couldn't completely distinguish every sentence clearly, he could barely hear some key words.

As a certain keyword was captured by Deng Yong, who was concentrating on it, the man with the sorrow in his eyes coughed twice, quickly got up from the stool, touched the gun in his arms, opened the door and walked into the unknown darkness.

……

Hou San supported the table with his left elbow, supported his chin with the tiger's mouth, and gently tapped the table with his right hand. After maintaining this action for about several minutes, he suddenly raised his head to look at the polyp man, and the other man's slightly solemn expression Eyes met.

"We don't want the goods in Secretary Zhu's hands anymore." Hou San said this sentence word by word. From his slow speaking speed, it is not difficult to judge the determination that went into making this decision.

As soon as these words were spoken, the tight body of the polyp man immediately relaxed a lot, and he obviously breathed a long sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Hou San would be reluctant to part with the piece of meat he was about to get, or that he didn't dare to offend Secretary Zhu, so he chose to see him at this juncture.

"It is an established fact that I have offended Secretary Zhu, but it is not certain how serious this matter is."

Hou San's eyes swept across the faces of the more than 20 people in the room with different expressions, and after thinking for a while, he explained.

"In the final analysis, he is just a good dog under President Jiang. What's more, there is a high probability that there is something wrong with this dog now."

"I'm not going to see him tonight. Maybe you bastards still feel that I'm too cowardly... But in our line of work, courage comes second. Sizing up the situation is the way to survive in the long run."

The polyp man nodded in agreement at the right time. After noticing Hou San's eyes on him, he took over the conversation; "The third brother is right. After Secretary Zhu behaves abnormally, it is tantamount to gambling to see him again."

"If you win the bet, you don't need to buy more goods and make more money. If you lose the bet... you just lose your life." His eyes were slightly cold, and he could see the awe-inspiring or indifferent expressions of everyone.

"In the final analysis, the person named Zhu is just relying on his power. In fact, he is just an embroidered pillow. If it is later proven that the third brother's judgment was wrong, it is better to just admit his mistake with a generous gift as backup than to be left in the dark."

After Hou San heard what he said with reason and evidence, he immediately clapped his hands and clapped twice, which not only agreed but also attracted everyone's attention, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Think about it slowly when you go back."

He thought for a while and then added, "Don't make me look bad. Although I didn't get the business done tonight, I'm still excited about the rewards I promised."

After saying this, the atmosphere in the room was obviously very different, and most people's faces clearly showed some unexpected surprise.

After the people under him shouted a few chaotic words to thank Third Brother, Hou San raised his right hand to suppress the voice, "Get ready, let's leave directly under the cover of night."

The polyp man hurriedly said: "Third brother, wait a minute."

When Hou Sanluo looked at himself in confusion, he coughed lightly and said to the others: "Xiao Liu and Hairtail, you two go out and observe the intersection of the village road and the national road to see if there are any guards."

"Boar and goat eggs, you go to the pearl farm and keep an eye on them. You don't have to do anything. If anything happens, just send me a message."

After he gave the instructions, the few people did not act directly, but turned to look at Hou San.

"Go ahead, be on the safe side and pay attention to your whereabouts." Hou San was not angry because of Polyp's interjection. Instead, he was surprised and secretly thought that he was still a little distracted.

After the four people left, he looked at the polyp man and whispered: "I always feel that what happened tonight is a bit evil."

"The main thing is to know what is going on with Secretary Zhu." The polyp man's face was obviously not very good-looking, "Third brother, if Zhu is arrested, it will not be easy for us to put aside the relationship."

Hou San's eyes flashed fiercely, "The person surnamed Zhu has no direct evidence. At most, he will label us as a suspect and put him on the key observation list. He can't be convicted easily."

"When you leave, why don't you find a place to hide your things first?" The polyp man did not refute these words. After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't help but suggested, "If you are found out by the police for hiding a firearm, this crime will Not too small either.”

"What did you just say?" Hou San was startled, and then his eyes turned cold, staring into his eyes.

"I made a mistake." The polyp man quickly lowered his head, admitted his mistake and stood there without saying a word.

Hou San was silent for a moment, then sighed, "I've thought about the problem you mentioned, but at this juncture, what if I didn't run into someone with the surname Liu?"

In fact, it was not that he suspected that there was something wrong with the polyp man, but that the suggestion seemed reasonable, but if it were to be implemented, it would be pure bullshit.

Not going to see Secretary Zhu can be said to be prudent and conservative. He threw away the weapon even though he knew that there was a problem in the situation. Although he could avoid being interrogated by the police, if he encountered danger, he could only sit back and wait for death.

No matter how cautious Hou San was, he could not agree to such a self-defeating suggestion.

……

"Brother Cheng?" Deng Yong squatted in the farmland beside the road, looking at a house with lights on without blinking.

After noticing the vibration of the phone, he took it out and glanced at the caller. After hesitating for a while, he chose to answer the call.

"Yongzi, are you in Liujiaba Village?" Acheng's thick voice reached his ears, and Deng Yong was obviously surprised.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly asked with a flash of inspiration: "Brother Cheng, did Jin Shi ask you to ask the Yan family to investigate my whereabouts?"

This was the only possibility he could think of, and he didn't find it strange. After all, he had a mobile phone with him and didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts. The Yan family could easily find the person if they wanted to check.

"Don't worry about how I know it." Ah Cheng's tone did not fluctuate much and he said concisely, "Where is your specific position? There are some things that you can't do alone."

Deng Yong swallowed and hesitated: "You know everything?"

"Send me your location. There is a big shot behind these people. It's easy to alert someone if you act haphazardly."

"I..." Deng Yong hesitated.

"No matter what you are going to do, you have to think about these people who were harmed by drugs, and think about why the protective umbrella behind these bastards is safe and sound."

Ah Cheng raised his voice and interrupted him, "You can't do this, and I can't do anything about it, but the Yan family can."
