brotherly innocence

At night, the Qin Mansion held a grand celebration reception, which was said to be planned by Chu Yaonan himself.

When the lanterns first came on, the gentry in the ballroom of the Qin Mansion gathered like a cloud of beautiful women, laughing and laughing, and the scene was spectacular.While drinking and drinking, Ye Rong heard a voice calling.

"Qin Rong!"

The voice was very familiar, coming from upstairs, but he didn't think it was calling himself, so he still wandered around the ballroom with the wine bottle.

When the second call of "Qin Rong" rang in his ears, he was startled, and suddenly looked up. Boss Qin was leaning on the railing of the building, looking down at him from top to bottom, and there was a familiar figure beside him, the elder brother Jiang Tao.

Seeing his eldest brother Jiang Tao at this moment, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, like mixed feelings.Standing side by side in front of him, one is his former elder, and the other is the person who now claims to be his father.

Qin Rong, yes, he is Qin Rong, he smiled wryly.

"The gunshots and accidents at noon did not disturb the interest of the guests. Many foreigners were invited to the dinner." Boss Qin said to Jiang Tao, pointing to the gentlemen in suits and the bejeweled ladies in the ballroom downstairs, quite proud of it.

Qin Rong went upstairs and called out respectfully, "Brother."

Jiang Tao raised the bottle of red wine in his hand, and before he could speak, he saw Chu Yaonan approaching in a dazzling evening dress.The black evening gown and ostentatious eyebrows made him look even more energetic, as if he was the protagonist of the party.

"Father, you called Yaonan, do you have any orders?" Chu Yaonan asked, bowing his body slightly as he glanced at Qin Rong and Jiang Tao.

"Nan'er, Rong'er, follow Section Master Jiang to the study." Qin Rong frowned when the boss gave an order, and the word "Rong'er" was exhaled by him, which was particularly ear-piercing.

Everyone gathered in the study room, second master Qin Zhuangdong and master Fei Wuyong were sitting on the sofa.

As soon as the door was closed, the hustle and bustle and laughter in the small building were immediately separated from the door, and the atmosphere inside the room showed some strange tension.

Assassins, yes, the assassin thing.Qin Rong couldn't help taking a step closer to his elder brother Jiang Tao, for fear that his father would embarrass Jiang Tao.

But Jiang Tao had already put the wine glass aside, and with a solemn face, he folded his hands and apologized: "Master Qin, Meng Qin has a large number of people who don't care about it, Jiang Tao will hold a banquet in the future to apologize to Lord Qin. It's because of my poor governance that I made this happen misfortune."

Qin Rong's cheeks suddenly turned cold, what is the elder brother talking about?

"Assassin, he is indeed a disciple of my Qingdaotang Wuduoqingyutang, this person joined the gang three months ago..."

After all, Jiang Tao glanced at him.Qin Rong frowned, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother, you have found out, how could you be from Qingdaotang, my fifth brother is not such a person!"

"It was thrown in when the batch of old mountain ginseng was running in the Northeast..." Jiang Tao said.

Qin Rong was stunned. Half a year ago, his fifth brother Xue Hui took over a lucrative business to run a batch of old wild ginseng for a traditional Chinese medicine hall in the northeast.The flag was triumphant and returned to Dingjiang, and took five brothers in the northeast.He didn't want the hands and feet of the five people to be unclean, and it was in his hands to commit a crime. He enforced the law impartially and mercilessly. He cut off the leader's hand immediately and made an example.It is said that these five people left the Green Centipede Gang in a fit of anger, and took away the business, which greatly hurt the vitality of the Green Centipede Hall, so Fifth Brother turned against him.

"Xue Hui said that the brother whose hand was chopped off died a few days ago because of the festering of that severed hand." Jiang Tao shook his head, Qin Rong was stunned and speechless.

Boss Qin was neither sullen nor angry, and only sighed: "Youth is full of vigor."

Glancing at Qin Rong, he said to Jiang Tao with a smile: "Brother Jiang, you don't have to blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with my brother. My son, you have raised me all these years. It's too late for me to thank you. It's also caused by Rong'er himself." What a disaster. People are walking in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be shot." Then he turned to Qin Rong and said, "Rong'er, please greet your elder brother and sister-in-law on behalf of father, don't neglect the distinguished guests."

The tone was as close as a family.

Qin Rong sent Jiang Tao downstairs, saw Jiang Tao smiling, looked around, and exclaimed: "This house is really magnificent! It's like a palace in a European fairy tale!".Qin Rong stopped, feeling extremely resentful in his heart. Could it be that the elder brother also cares about this rich and noble family, so he can send him to Boss Qin's hands with peace of mind?

The eldest brother turned his gaze to him, still smiling, but lowered his voice and said, "Beware of Chu Yaonan. Your sister-in-law has prepared a boat ticket for you on the [-]th of next month. You first go to Hong Kong and wait for us."

Qin Rong was startled, as if seeing a glimmer of life, the surprise made his eyes shine brightly and he cried out, "Brother!"

Jiang Tao didn't look at him, just looked downstairs and continued: "A Rong, you have to think twice before deciding. The Blue Gang is a big gang that attracts the attention of the world. It is one of the best in the world. It can make you very rich and prosperous. Brother is tired of After entering the rivers and lakes to fight bloody winds, this walk..."

"But I don't care about it!" Qin Rong said seriously, as if he was insulted.

Jiang Tao moved a few steps and said: "You think it over, and then tell the elder brother, there is no rush."

"Brother, you know Ah Rong." Qin Rong begged anxiously, for fear that the elder brother would abandon him.

Jiang Tao only said "huh", and then greeted the person downstairs with a smile and said: "Director Hua, Director Hua, long time no see." Then he cupped his hands and ran down.

Qin Rong's heart clenched, he turned around slowly, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he felt a little relieved.The heart that had been uneasy in recent days fell back into his stomach steadily, with some ecstasy.The dust settled, but it was only a few days before he acted to scare Boss Qin, waiting for the opportunity to escape.

Qin Rong went back upstairs again, and saw that the door of Boss Qin's study was half open, revealing a soft light.

When he turned around sharply, he saw a "tail" not far behind him. It seemed that Boss Qin had arranged to monitor his whereabouts. When he saw him turn around, he shrank back into a corner.He laughed secretly, he is very good at flicking his "tail", playing this trick with Ye Liuye, be more tender!But the most urgent task now is to paralyze Boss Qin to throw off these "tails", so that he can escape from the Qin residence.

So he straightened his clothes, swaggered open the door and entered Boss Qin's study.

"One hundred secrets and one sparse, who would have thought of such an accident." The second master Qin Zhuangdong was sighing, while Master Fei shook his head aside.

Chu Yaonan said guiltily: "Father, today's celebration is Yaonan's responsibility, and he is duty-bound. There are still many guests downstairs who want his father to entertain him, so let's worry about it after sending the guests away." The voice was faint, although not loud, But still very confident.

Qin Zhuangdong nodded, patted Chu Yaonan on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, grow up like a man."

Just at this moment when Qin Rong came into the study, Boss Qin told Chu Yaonan when he saw him, "From tomorrow onwards, you will be in charge of taking Qin Rong. Father will officially let Qin Rong enter the main hall of Chongyi Hall, so that he can familiarize himself with the affairs of the gang as soon as possible." .”

Chu Yaonan was quite surprised. His face darkened even though he was usually calm. He rarely said "no" to his father, but now he couldn't help but say, "Father, it will be sooner or later for the second brother to enter Chongyi Hall." It’s just a rule in the gang that new recruits, no matter how high or low their position is, have to go to the storefront and wharf to practice for a year or two, and they can only enter Chongyi Hall after they are familiar with all the business of the Blue Gang. .Yaonan returned from studying in France. Didn’t he spend a year at the bottom, so it’s about time. Even the second brother, it will take a year or so at the earliest, right?”

"He has you to teach him. Take him wherever you go, and he will be familiar with the affairs once he comes and goes. You don't have to follow those old rules and go down to practice. It's a waste of time." Qin Boss insisted.

Chu Yaonan glanced at Qin Rong, took a deep breath, and turned to Master Fei who was asking for help, with some uneasiness and surprise in his eyes.

"Master, this matter shouldn't be rushed, right? After all, Qingdaotang is no better than the Blue Gang, so we still have to get started slowly." Master Fei said.He is Chu Yaonan's teacher, somewhat biased.

Boss Qin laughed loudly, as if he could see the mastery of his apprenticeship and said: "There are many people and many helpers. Yaonan is also busy recently, and mistakes are inevitable in the busy schedule. It is also good to have a reliable person to share some. Besides, let Qin It will be a matter of time before Rong takes over the business of the Blue Gang."

Qin Rong's heart tightened, and he thought to himself, could it be that the mistake was added to the mistake, that he was going to be pushed to the blue gang in full view?If the raw rice is cooked, it will be difficult for him to move his feet. Taking a deep breath, he thought that the arrangement of the elder brother was really just right.But in order to stabilize Boss Qin, he still said sincerely: "Yaonan is right, let's follow the rules and follow the steps, don't rush for a while."

Boss Qin was a little surprised when he opened his mouth, and nodded with some joy, noncommittal.
