As the night grew darker, the lights in the Ding Mansion on Dongsantiao Avenue and the study were dimly lit, dim and quiet.

Master Ding opened the cigarette case, picked up a cigarette deftly, paused as soon as he brought it to his mouth, sighed, and threw it back on the table with a wry smile.

When I first came out to play around, I was poor and had nothing. In order to get ahead, I carried a machete and fought and killed in the street, clamoring all day long, "I will die!"Now that the gong has been achieved and the benefits have been achieved, on the contrary, I have to think about it and worry about it to save my life.

God hates someone's safety and success the most. When you think you are perfect, you will take something away cruelly.

On the table in front of him was an old cardboard box, the seams were a little loose.Gently brush off the dust on it, and carefully open it, there are a dozen thick old photos inside.Aunt Xian rummaged through the study earlier and found it. She always wanted to organize it into a book, but was delayed by such and other things, and it took several months to put it away.

On top of the messy photos is an amulet.Master Ding clearly remembered that it was the first time he went to Thailand with the Luo family brothers, and was consecrated by Master Long-mother-in-law.Those Thai people say that the earth is the mother of human beings, so the amulet is made of clay, mixed with temple soil and monk's cassock rags, and its appearance is translucent like jade. Rainbow-like seven-color luster.

Everyone thinks that carrying the amulet on their body can bring good luck and avoid evil, and make a fortune, but they forget that they are in the underworld. Some people were ruined, some were imprisoned, and some died on the street.

Picking up a photo with yellowed edges and corners, and looking closely, it is Ding Ye and Luo family brothers more than 20 years ago. The eldest brother is standing in the middle, with a clean white shirt and neatly parted hair.The second child was studying in medical school at that time, and he was a very talented student.The younger brother has just been discharged from the army, with a thin shaved head, very energetic.Standing next to Brother Luo, the young Ding Sen had a youthful and fierce face, which was set off by the gentle-looking three brothers, making him extremely vulgar.

Later, Brother Luo and Master Ding kowtowed to the ground together, cut off chicken heads and burned yellow paper to worship their brothers, ranking fifth.If he is still alive, maybe he can be called "Fifth Master" in a graceful manner.

If I remember correctly, Brother Luo was brought back from Thailand 22 years ago. Because of an informant, he encountered a firefight with the police on the street and died in a random gunshot.Brother Luo was wanted for a drug trafficking case 15 years ago. When he was on the boat, his subordinates had internal strife and was strangled to death by desperadoes who stole money.The Luo family stood alone, and now only the second child, the doctor, is left...

...Although Dr. Luo is over fifty years old, he is well maintained. There are no wrinkles on his face, and the skin around his eyes and chin is slightly loose. Combined with his gentle and restrained temperament, he looks even more dignified.

At this moment, he was pacing, and slowly said to his nephew who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and meditating: "Xiaosheng, the brick factory in the west district, please stop for now, and wait for the wind to pass. I don't think he can do it with Ding Sen." Absolutely."

As soon as he was successful, his father and third uncle's bones accumulated little by little for Mr. Ding to be able to achieve what he is today, and the Tongsheng Association to have the current status in Lidao.Dr. Luo knew it well, ignoring the brotherhood with his parents and fellowship, Luo Xiaosheng married Ding Fei, and he was Ding's half son. Master Ding would also turn a blind eye and close his eyes, just passing it by.

Luo Xiaosheng shook his head heavily: "Second Uncle, that's not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about is that with Lei Ting's performance and A Ran's support, my father-in-law will reconsider the issue of his successor. If that's the case..."

"There will be no what-ifs!" Dr. Luo interrupted his nephew's wild thoughts irritably, "I won't let this what-if happen! Our Luo family was almost wiped out for the sake of the club and his Ding family. How could I allow such a what-if to happen! Last time he planned to cultivate a boy surnamed Lei, we had a way to stop it in time, this time, we can also..."

... Mr. Ding already knew about carrying private goods.

It's just for money, as long as it doesn't cause any disturbances, let him do as he pleases.It's only because Luo Xiaosheng didn't know how to restrain himself, he brought more and more private goods, his appetite became bigger and bigger, and he even tried to squeeze out the master and take full control of the drug business.Even A Ran can see the loophole, how to hide it from the gang of old foxes who have become elite in the society?

In the final analysis, Master Ding didn't want to create a quarrel with Luo Xiaosheng.It's not that he is afraid of the Luo family's power, but because of Ding Fei's relationship, he has to be cautious.That was the person whose daughter was desperately trying to marry, and he had three ups and downs, and it was his own daughter who was sad in the end.

During the meeting, Mr. Xi showed his sharpness and argued hard, which surprised Mr. Ding.Over the years, I have been used to seeing Ah Xi's timid and silent appearance, and I have long forgotten that he also has such a tough side.

That photo was taken at Lidao Airport, I remember it was their first flight.In the photo, Ah Xi is wearing the most fashionable flared trousers, a floral shirt, and toad mirrors, just like the playboy in the movie.At that time, he was still young, and he was a well-known handsome boy in the club.On the other side, Ding Sen was wearing a suit that was two sizes too big, and he thought he was giggling and giggling, with an earthy smell all over his body.

Between him and Ah Xi, stood a beautiful and lively girl, her arms were generously placed on their shoulders, her stubborn eyes and mischievous smile, like a retro version of Ding Fei.

Master Ding caressed that forever young face with his fingers, sighing silently.Looking back, the girl with the fluffy and wavy hair seems to be more suitable for Ah Xi with the airplane hair.

These years, have you passed by yourself?Is it too narrow-minded...

... The master who had long since lost the charm of the past was so restless by the crying of the baby, he scolded the two nannies loudly: "What are you doing all of them, paying for you to come, is it adding to the trouble?"

The nanny was also very wronged: "The baby is still young, if he leaves his mother suddenly, he will cry for a while. The young lady left in a hurry, but she didn't squeeze out any milk to stay. The baby is not used to milk powder and is hungry."

"How many times have I said, don't call me Miss Young Mistress, call me Miss Qin!" Master Xi suppressed the evil fire in his heart, and seriously corrected him.Seeing his son Tianming staggering in from the outside drunkenly, with half a bottle of foreign wine in his hand, Master Xi scolded: "Drink, drink, what else do you do besides drinking and smoking marijuana!"

Tianming staggered to the front, breathed out alcohol and laughed: "Dad, my dearest dad! My son is happy for you. You have been selling noodles and pimping like a pimp from morning to night. Finally, I raised my eyebrows for a while. Dad, I love you dad! I am not capable as a son, I only drink and smoke marijuana, and you don’t need me anymore, haha, Dad has everything, I wish you happiness Dad, I wish you happiness! "

Mr. Xi pushed him away annoyed, and sneered at the delirious face: "Go away, you drunkard! Don't scare my grandson! Feel proud? Are you dreaming? Luo Xiaosheng is much smarter than you , People know how to advance and retreat with evidence. They said that the drug business should be put aside and devoted to the arms business. Hehe, Ding Laoba's thoughts are very clear. He doesn't want me to fight for power with his son-in-law and hurt his peace. He is afraid of making enemies for his son-in-law. I only hope that his precious son-in-law can understand that painstaking effort..."

... Now that the will has been made, Luo Xiaosheng will take over his own business in the future.

Before that, on the one hand, he had to be beaten and hone him, and on the other hand, he had to clean up all those shady activities, so as not to cause criticism and criticism in the future, and not be able to convince the public.The more high you are, the less you can have weaknesses. Only by sacrificing a little bit of your own interests can you sit firmly in the position.To be the boss, you have to have the whole community in your eyes, and you have to accommodate thousands of brothers.

After this meeting, Lei Ting came into Master Ding's sight again.He firmly believed that his judgment was not wrong, that it was an unastonishing but fierce Chollima, given time, it would surely become a great weapon.Vision, ambition, courage, and mind are essential qualifications to measure a person's ability to be the boss.Today's Lei Ting is exactly the same as he was back then.

But the more this happened, the more distressed Mr. Ding became.

Thunder left?In the future, when he is full-fledged, he will definitely become a powerful opponent of Luo Xiaosheng.Suppress the Thunder?Judging by his confidence and momentum, and the team of think tanks behind him that cannot be underestimated, it is easy to hurt his bones.So, get rid of him?And a little bit reluctant, after all, he is a rare talent, and he has a very good personal relationship with A Ran, even Qi Ye, a fine man, supports him both openly and secretly.

The photo with a bright red background was taken when Ding Ran's parents got married.Ding Sen and Seventh Brother sat on the chairs in the front row, one was the witness and the other was the introducer.The newlyweds stood in the back row, Ding's father was personable, and Ding's mother smiled like a flower.

It's a pity that Seventh Brother's face is distorted.At that time, there was a "plop" sound from behind, and Seventh Brother hurriedly turned his head and called out, "Lamei!"

The shutter was pressed, and this funny and comical expression was frozen in the film.La Mei is the daughter of Seventh Brother...

... This day is the first day of the lunar calendar. In the Pianwa Temple on the top of Baiyan Peak, Qi Ye has just finished chanting sutras and is sitting opposite Dao Shaoqian and drinking tea.

After all, he is nearly [-] years old. Although he has no diseases, he is helplessly obese. He hikes up the mountain twice a month to burn incense and worship Buddha, which is somewhat unbearable.Dao Shaoqian believed that since the Bodhisattva was invited at home, there was no need to come to the temple on purpose. If there is a Buddha in his heart, there will be Buddhas everywhere.

Qi Ye smiled and shook his head: "No, no, physical suffering is also cultivation."

"Uncle, there is one thing I don't understand." Dao Shaoqian looked carefully at Qiye, "Every time you recite the prayers, besides your aunt and cousin, you also mention the names of Ding Shuming and Zhong Yanzhi. I don't know who it is ?”

Qiye sighed a long time: "Those are Aran's biological parents. Back then, Xiao Hexing colluded with the construction department to forcibly contract the highway project and gave 800 million bribes. In order to crack down on them, Asen and I joined forces to find evidence. The document is It should be kept by me. I thought Shuming knew more about the law, so I handed over the materials to him for sorting out, but unexpectedly suffered an accident.

Dao Shaoqian suddenly realized: "No wonder my uncle loves this Young Master Ding so much."

Qiye's usual rosy cheeks dimmed slightly: "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. One year after the couple passed away, that tragedy happened in my family. Your aunt and My cousin was burned to death in the house. Do you still remember my girl? My girl, her little hands are only a little big and soft. She likes to crawl into my arms and rub my beard. The stubble is hard, and she touched it and said, "My dad is so handsome, dad is the most handsome!" She said so when she went out to kindergarten. You can see that I am not handsome at all Well." Qi Ye wore an unchanging smile, but his eyes were full of tears, "My girl, she was only six or seven years old at that time. She was so strong, she didn't cry when she fell down, and she didn't even cut her fingers. Crying, she didn't cry when spanking her buttocks. But when the fire started, she cried, she whimpered and cried in the fire, and she told me to say, 'Daddy, it's so hot, my braids are on fire, I'm scared !' Now that I close my eyes, I can still hear her calling me, 'Abba, it's so hot!' But the iron door is out of shape, and I can't open it no matter what I do."

Mr. Ding looked up at the night outside the window, squeezed his mouth tightly, and tried his best to hold back the tears and sadness: "Since then, I believe that there is karma in the world, and I believe in Buddhism. I always think, I Be nicer to A Ran, maybe if my younger sister is reincarnated and becomes someone else's daughter, they will love her more..."

… Master Ding took off his glasses, rubbed his sore eyes, looked through them one by one, and finally laughed out loud at a certain photo.

It was a nude photo of Master Jiu.Back then on the seaside of the Outer Island, someone came up with a ridiculous idea, saying that whoever dares to run back and forth on the beach naked, everyone will provide him with free meals for a year.

At that time, Lu Laojiu was crazy and loved to play and make trouble, so he immediately stripped naked and rushed out.Unexpectedly, on the beach that was originally empty and deserted, a group of girls' school students ran over for an outing at an unknown time. When they saw a naked man jumping out suddenly, they screamed in surprise and grabbed their backpacks, bottles and slippers, and threw them over, terrified. Lu Laojiu got into the water and didn't dare to stand up...

...and at this moment, Lord Jiu, wearing a custom-made high-end suit and a plain bow tie around the collar, took the trouble to yell upstairs: "Xiaozhen, Xiaozhen, baby Zhenzhen, come down quickly, the time is over! "

After staring at it for a long time, there was no movement at the stairway.In desperation, I had no choice but to go to the room to invite my daughter in person: "Xiaozhen, listen to what my father said, that Young Master Zhu also came back from England, and he also studied literature or history, so I must have something to talk to you. Not bad, just as handsome as daddy. Let's go, okay?"

Xiaozhen was wearing homely pajamas, lying on the sofa, covering her face with a magazine, and she was refusing to move.

Master Jiu coaxed him with a loud voice: "I just asked you to go on a blind date, and didn't ask you to get married! If you don't like it, Dad will make him disappear immediately! Okay, baby Zhenzhen, what do you want? How is it? How will you get up and put on makeup and clothes?"

Xiaozhen peeked out from under the magazine, and smiled quickly: "Unless...unless you agree to buy a stake in Brother Lei Ting's gambling boat!"

"You! Are you infatuated or stupid! I've never seen such a daughter who eats inside and out!" Master Jiu couldn't laugh or cry, "Tell me, how much does it cost to buy shares?"

Xiaozhen thought about it dumbfoundedly: "Then let's say 8000 million."

"What?" Master Jiu's voice almost penetrated the roof, "8000 million? Do you think daddy prints money..."

... Pressed on a photo at the bottom of the box, there was only Master Ding himself.

It was Cui's third year in prison, and his old father died of a heart attack.The Cui family had no other children, so Ding Sen presided over the funeral on behalf of Cui Fang.Behind him, there is a black coffin and a portrait covered with green gauze.

When Cui Fang was imprisoned, Cui Yan was only in his early ten years old.Less than a year after he was released, his son died...

... Cui Fang let the car wait at the door, and walked slowly into the red wine lounge on Duolun Road.

Two days ago, a VIP invitation card was mailed to his home, saying that a bottle of red wine ordered by Mr. Cui Yan had arrived and he was asked to pick it up.

The son left in a hurry and didn't leave any words, Cui Fang always regretted it.I happened to be passing by today, so I wanted to bring the wine back and sprinkle it in front of his tomb when worshiping the next day.

Taking advantage of the time when the boss was fetching the wine, Cui Fang wandered around in the quiet and elegant lounge.Thinking that this is the place where his son had been before his death, maybe he had tasted wine and chatted in a certain seat, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

Opposite the window, an entire wall is inlaid with cork, and is full of post-it notes and Polaroid photos.These are the sentiments of some customers.Cui Fang leaned over curiously, with a small expectation in his heart, it would be great if he could see the few words left by his son.

Suddenly, a photo caught his attention.

It was a foreign girl who seemed to be taking pictures.And on the table behind the girl, there are a man and a woman sitting, the man is Cui Yan, and the woman on the opposite side is very pretty and looks familiar...

…Master Ding felt tight in his chest for a while, and wanted to go to the window to get some air. When he got up together, the paper box full of photos was turned over, and the Bodhi beads tied to the amulet fell to the ground, scattered, and the beads crackled and splashed. everywhere...
