Endless Rebirth

After Zou Taibao rushed out of the auto repair shop, he calmed down when the evening breeze blew him.

There were photos, account information, and the circumstantial evidence of County Magistrate Zhao. The authenticity of the matter was beyond doubt, but he still couldn't help but want to curse, wanted to hear Lao Shisan's words in person, and wanted to learn from his mouth Get different results.

He even hoped that this was Chen Feng's conspiracy, a trap deliberately designed to destroy the Thirteen Taibao. He hoped that he would be filled with malicious thoughts to exclude his psychological suspicion of Lao Thirteen.

But, everything is in vain.

In the face of facts, everything is so powerless.Zou Taibao walked in a daze on the street illuminated by the street lights. The streets with cars seemed to be changing, and he was back to that era when thinking about it made his blood boil.

"Fourth brother! Let's become sworn brothers, just like the sworn brothers in Taoyuan and the heroes of Liangshan?"

"From now on, you are my fourth brother, and I have twelve more brothers. It's great!"

"Brothers, we have to show those people that we Star City people are not easy to bully."

"Ideal? My ideal is for everyone to live a good life, so that their children do not have to live a life of fighting and killing, and their lives become rich. They have cars to ride when they go out, and meat to eat when they come home."

"..."

Thirteen's words vaguely rang in his ears, as if what happened that year happened yesterday.

Just, why?Why did Lao Shisan become like this?Where has the true man from before, that old Thirteen who was full of ideals and energy gone?

He kept asking himself this question, and walked towards the city numbly. He was so irritated that he never got an answer, and finally let tears flow down.

He leaned against the peeling paint of the street lamp and squatted down with his legs a little weak. He was in his 40s, and his tears just flowed down silently.

After a while, he wiped away his tears, put his trembling hands into his pocket, and pulled out a cigarette. He kept pressing the lighter, and the ruthless night wind blew out the flame on the lighter instantly, again and again.

He was like a man abandoned by the world, holding a cigarette in his mouth and constantly lighting the fire, but he couldn't light it.

In the auto repair shop, a thin whimpering sound came from the headphones, and the two people sitting next to them felt very heavy.This is especially true for Boss Xiong, because he understands this feeling best.

In the large living room, the faint sound of a lighter came from the small earphones.

"Xiao Feng, we..." Boss Xiong wanted to say something.

"Some things can only be faced by him. I believe he will get through it." Chen Feng said, putting the cigarette in his hand under his nose and smelling it, and said, "Society is developing very fast, and some people are being exploited by the interests of others. If you lose your mind, you will forget who you are and your own soul."

"Uncle Xiong, I hope you don't forget," he said lightly, "I don't want any of us to cry next."

"Don't worry." Boss Xiong said firmly.

……

On the other side, as the temperature gradually dropped at night, Zou Taibao finally recovered from his grief. He straightened his expression, walked directly to the road, and stopped a private car.

With his name, it was easy to get in the car, and soon the car was heading towards the east end of Star City.

Li Haifeng's residence is at the eastern end of Star City, along the only road leading to the new city, past the densely populated residential area, and at the border of Star City.

The mountains here are undulating, and it is adjacent to the village where the male boss once came to cause trouble. After Li Haifeng became the richest man in Star City, he bought a piece of land nearby and built a luxurious villa.

The reason why we chose this place is not only because of the convenient transportation and quiet environment, but also the most important thing is that the back of the villa is connected to the inland river at the west end of Star City. People in the villa can drive speedboats directly along the river and into the lake.

Li Haifeng started his business by fishing for sand. The battlefield in Star City is at the mouth of the river where the lake flows, so it is very convenient for him to commute to get off work every day.

When Zou Taibao came to the intersection near the villa, there were already two people waiting for him.

One is tall and the other is thin. The tall one is called Li Dailong and the thin one is Wu Qiang. They are both members of the Thirteen Taibao, one is the sixth and the other is the ninth.

These three people represent the three fishing villages in Star City, Zoujia Village, Lijia Village, and Wujia Village.

"Fourth brother, are everything you said on the phone true?" Wu Taibao asked impatiently as soon as they met.Li Taibao had to be more steady and looked at Zou Taibao without saying anything.

"If it wasn't true, would I have called you over?" Zou Taibao looked at the two of them with a stern face and said, "I know that everyone has a good relationship with Shisan, and we are developing the battlefield with him, but there are some things that we can't do. If you can’t do it, you’ll have to pay the price if you do it.”

"Then what are we doing here?" Li Taibao asked.

"Come and save Old Thirteen, and at the same time let him touch his conscience." Zou Taibao snorted coldly, shook his head and walked towards the villa. The voice came from far away, "If you have any concerns, you can Just go back."

Wu Taibao looked at Li Taibao, who tightened his expression and said seriously, "Go!"

In the darkness, three figures slowly approached the villa.

……

"Wow woof woof!!!"

As soon as the three of them walked in, several dogs barked suddenly in the dark night, the lights suddenly turned on in the large yard, and soon there were shouts inside.

Then, the big iron door was opened, and a small head emerged from behind. Seeing the three people in the darkness, they immediately laughed and said, "Fourth uncle, sixth uncle, and ninth uncle, it turns out it's you."

After saying that, he turned on the light outside the door and revealed his face, it was Li Xing.

"Where is your father?" Zou Taibao asked without changing his expression.

"Are you inside, have the uncles eaten?" Li Xing asked as he welcomed everyone in.

Zou Taibao didn't answer, but walked past him and walked inside.

"What's going on?" Li Xing patted his head and looked at the other two.

Putting on an ugly smile, Taibao Wu and Taibao Li followed him into the house.

Li Haifeng's villa is very large. In addition to a large lawn-covered yard in the front, there is also a small pier in the backyard specially used to park speedboats.

The main building is very luxurious, and the living room is fully furnished with the latest high-quality products on the market.There are two middle-aged women cleaning up in the kitchen. They are both confinement sisters specially hired from Xinshi. There are four people in total. They work shifts in the morning and afternoon. Li Haifeng is responsible for the daily housework.

Li Haifeng lost his wife in his early years and vowed not to marry but to live with his son.

Hearing the commotion outside, Li Haifeng came down from upstairs in his slippers. He walked to the stairs and saw Zou Taibao and the other two. He suddenly smiled and said, "Why do the three brothers have time to visit my little brother? Please sit down, it's a midnight journey." If it’s damp and cold, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up.”

"No need for tea, just say a few words and leave." Zou Taibao said calmly looking at the person in front of him.Li Haifeng is almost the middle-aged version of Li Xing. The difference is that he is taller, wears glasses to hide his strong body, and wears casual clothes with a bit of elegance.

"What's going on? Why are you so polite when you come to my little brother? This is not like my brother's style." Li Haifeng joked.

"This is not at all like you, Thirteen." Zou Taibao sneered.

Li Haifeng, who had just walked down the stairs, his face froze, and he turned his head to look at him stiffly.

Li Xing, who came in behind, bit his lip, looked at the people in the room in disbelief, and leaned against the door without speaking.

"What does fourth brother want to say? Why don't I understand? Is there some misunderstanding? Let's sit down and talk." Li Haifeng forced a smile and greeted everyone.

"No need, Old Thirteen," Li Taibao said equally forcefully, "I just want to ask you, are you really the person behind Jinyang Real Estate?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere became depressing in vain. Li Xing felt like he was almost out of breath and looked at his father with blank eyes.

"Jinyang Real Estate? Is that Jinyang Real Estate in Star City? What does it have to do with me? I have just heard the rumors in Xiu County these days. Is there any misunderstanding?" Li Haifeng asked with a smile in front of him.

"Don't you admit what you did?" Zou Taibao said with a disappointed look, "Just came back? Why did someone take a photo of you and Yang Linglu together? Misunderstanding? Why were you and Yang Linglu traced in the UOB account? Jinyang Real Estate’s transaction information? Doesn’t matter? What’s going on with you and Secretary Wan?”

"Old Thirteen, do you think you did it flawlessly?" Zou Taibao said coldly, "I never thought that the person I have to deal with is my own brother. What have you done these years?"

"Fourth brother!" Li Haifeng shouted.

"Don't call me!" Zou Taibao shouted suddenly, "I don't have a brother like you who is worse than a beast. Go and see for yourself, see the owners of Jinyang Real Estate, and see the houses there. This is all your fault. Good thing."

"You live in a villa yourself, but let people from your hometown live in high-risk buildings. Let me ask you, where is your conscience? Where is the vow you made back then? Where is the pride of being a Star City person?" Zou Taibao's voice was almost too high-pitched. It penetrated the city wall and made a woman in the kitchen tremble all over.

Li Haifeng didn't answer for a long time, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it was as if his whole body was being pressed by a stone, which was completely breathless. Everyone in the room looked at the people on the sofa, even Li Xing.

"Is this the purpose of the three brothers coming here? To question me?" Li Haifeng said calmly.

"That's right, Thirteen, you went too far this time." Taibao Wu snorted coldly.

"Too much?" Li Haifeng laughed out loud as if he had heard something funny.

"Too much? Hahahaha... too much..." Li Haifeng laughed so hard that his stomach twitched, and he crawled on the sofa and beat him desperately.

"Have you laughed enough?" Zou Taibao said coldly.

"Of course not, it's too much..." The smile gradually faded, and Li Haifeng suddenly said, "Where have we passed? Tell me, where have we passed? I built bus stations, houses, and roads for them. Over the years, I have walked step by step. I want to change the situation of Star City. Can Star City leave me today?"

"Now, because of Jinyang Real Estate's fault, three brothers came to question me, haha... Is it me who has passed, or are the three brothers too unreasonable?" Li Haifeng asked.
