Author: The bear skimming the treetops

The weather was extremely hot at noon today. The sun was mercilessly scorching Lincheng. It seemed that even the oil circuits were melted. There was not a trace of wind in the air, but it was still hot every time I took a breath.

Because of the weather, there were not many people walking outdoors, and there was no hustle and bustle on the streets as in the past. The whole city seemed very quiet, and boredom and heat filled every corner of the city.

At the corner of a courtyard in the north of the city, two figures flashed out one after another, approaching the courtyard wall. They first looked around, then listened to the movements in the courtyard for a moment, then looked at each other and nodded slightly.

.

One person leaned against the high wall, squatting half-crouched, crossing his hands to set up a scaffold, and the other person raised his feet and stepped on the scaffold. The two people used their hands and feet at the same time, and a figure jumped up to the top of the wall.

After the person who came up first stabilized his center of gravity, he gently stretched out his hand. The latter jumped up with all his strength, grabbed his companion's arm, and used the momentum to climb over the wall.

The two of them fell down almost at the same time. At the moment when they were about to land, they put their arms on the wall at the same time and pushed their bodies forward one foot out of thin air. Part of the gravity was relieved, and their feet landed silently on the ground.

.

The movements of the two of them were as light as civet cats, and the whole set of movements was as smooth as clouds and water, as if they had been rehearsed thousands of times.

If someone saw it, they would think it was a thief flying over the walls.

The courtyard covers a large area. There are several paths among the flowers and plants, and a circular pool with a fountain in the middle. To the north is a small three-story foreign-style building, which looks unique.

The two people who entered the courtyard gently touched the door of the front hall. One of them reached out and pushed the door open. Without moving at all, he turned to his companion and shook his head.

The companion understood immediately, and the two immediately separated and walked along the small western-style building to check the windows on the first floor.

But disappointingly, all the windows are locked from the inside and cannot be opened from the outside.

However, this small difficulty naturally cannot trouble the two of them.

One of them took off the flying claw wrapped around his waist, looked up at the protruding balcony on the second floor, flicked his wrist, and the flying claw at the other end of the rope grabbed the railing on the balcony.

Then he pulled it back gently, and after making sure it was securely fixed, he straightened his body, stepped on the wall with his feet, and moved his arms alternately, like a dexterous ape. He quickly grabbed the railing, turned over, and jumped to the balcony.

.

He rolled gently to the door of the balcony, listened for a moment, then pushed open the door and walked in.

The companion downstairs leaned against the wall and looked around cautiously.

Not long after, the man who went upstairs had already walked out of the room and slid down gently along the rope.

When his feet landed on the ground, he shook his hand slightly. The rope was like a flexible snake, gently throwing up an arc. The flying claws released the force and fell rapidly from the air. He was accurately caught by him.

After catching it, after a few movements, the rope returned to my waist as if by magic.

The operation went smoothly. The two did not speak, but only communicated with their eyes. Then they returned to the wall along the original path and climbed out again.

When they climbed outside the wall, one of them turned back to check if there were any traces on the wall, while the other person looked around.

Just as the two were about to leave, a five or six-year-old girl suddenly appeared in the alley ahead.

The little girl suddenly noticed that there were two big men about thirty meters away. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she immediately turned around and ran away.

The person in charge of the lookout immediately went to chase, but was stopped by his companion, who shook his head at him: "Asshole, that kid didn't see where we came from. If you catch up, you will do bad things."

The watcher nodded quickly.

The companion waved his hand, and the two immediately walked away.

Less than twenty seconds after they walked out of the alley, a man dressed in black appeared in the alley, looking at the direction the two left, thoughtfully.

…

Luo Maoyun was curled up cross-legged in a Taishi chair, with a big yellow cat lying on his lap. Both of them were taking a nap.

The Taishi Chair in the Ming Dynasty is different from the Qing Dynasty. It specifically refers to an armchair, which forms a semicircle from the back to the armrests. It is more comfortable to lie down on than the Taishi Chair in the Qing Dynasty.

Suddenly, a person walked quickly towards the waterside pavilion.

When Luo Maoyun opened his eyes, Ling Hui was already standing in front of him.

"Everything is done?"

"We should have succeeded at this time. The brother we sent may already be on his way out of the city! I arranged for him to go to Jiangxi to stay for a while."

Luo Maoyun sat in the Taishi chair, waved his hand and said happily: "Sit down and talk."

Ling Hui immediately sat on a round stool opposite.

Luo Maoyun said: "Tonight, after Zhang Laosan comes back from the dance hall, he should be able to see what we left for him."

He was smiling all over his face: "Look at him this time, Zhang Laosan, what else can you say?"

Ling Hui asked in confusion: "Second Master, why are we doing this? If something happens, the first person Zhang Laosan will suspect is you. Aren't you deliberately giving him an excuse?"

Luo Maoyun picked up the teacup: "It's not that I don't believe you, but I'm really thinking about you. Let me tell you this, knowing this will only do you harm, not good."

Speaking of this, Ling Hui became even more confused.

Luo Maoyun asked him to plan this operation, but did not tell him his true intention.

For example, he was the one who found the skilled brother, but only Luo Maoyun could tell what the small box that man brought to Zhang Laosan contained.

Luo Maoyun took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. Then he smiled and said slowly: "I dare say that in less than three days, whatever Zhang Laosan has eaten in the past, he will give me a good one."

Spit it out!"

"This is impossible!" Ling Hui was surprised. Luo Maoyun had always kept a low profile, but this time it was because of his relationship with Lincheng Station that he gradually stopped keeping a low profile.

But even so, he didn't make it clear to Zhang Guoxi.

After all, Zhang Guoxi now has a huge amount of power, and he cannot defeat Zhang Guoxi without relying on external force.

Luo Maoyun sent people to Zhang Guoxi's foreign residence. What was he going to do?

Luo Maoyun seemed to see Ling Hui's doubts and smiled faintly: "You have been following me for many years. My style of doing things should be very clear. Although Zhang Guoxi doesn't deal with me, I won't do anything behind his back. Even more

I won’t make things difficult for women and children, it’s just to give Zhang Laosan a warning.”

Ling Hui smiled helplessly: "The second boss has always been aboveboard in his actions. I never thought that you would do anything harmful to nature."

Based on Linghui's understanding of Luo Maoyun, he would rather go directly to Zhang Guoxi for a duel than stab him in the back.

"Let me tell you, you know me!" Luo Maoyun waved his hand, "If Zhang Laosan was just fighting for territory with me, I would have tolerated it. But this guy is so close to the Japanese. That's right.

He does business with the Japanese, but I don't believe that he has not sold any information to the Japanese.

Every brother in the gang knows that I hate the Japanese, but Zhang Laosan is willing to be a traitor. This is no longer a matter between the two of us, it is also mixed with the hatred of the country and the family!

Although I, Luo Maoyun, don't know many words, I also know that I am a Chinese and it is absolutely forbidden to work as a lackey for the Japanese. Zhang Laosan did this to discredit our gang and bring shame to his ancestors.

Already."

Ling Hui wanted to ask clearly, but he just looked at Luo Maoyun. Luo Maoyun today seemed different from what he had seen before.

The second-in-command, who has always been low-key and reserved, has now revealed his edge.

Luo Maoyun put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "During this period, we have been getting along well with Team Leader Fang of Lincheng Station. You and your brothers have done a great job for him, and our relationship is getting closer. I heard that between you,

We have become brothers now, Ling Hui, congratulations, congratulations!"

Luo Maoyun's words were correct. Although Ling Hui was working for Fang Jin in his name, in fact it was Ling Hui and Fang Jin who had the most contact.

People are all about emotions, and they become familiar with each other through one or two visits.

Luo Maoyun thought about it in his mind and couldn't help but sigh. It's really a waste to compare goods with goods, and to compare people with others is to die.

At that time, although I had a lot of success in the gang, my vision was too narrow and my temperament was too straight. I didn't want to deal with people in the officialdom in depth. As a result, I was exposed to Zhang Guoxi everywhere.

One end is pressed up.

Recently, Luo Maoyun was secretly surprised when he heard his subordinates talk a lot about Ling Hui and Fang Jinjin. Ling Hui's character was indeed very compatible with Fang Jinjin, and his original choice was not wrong.

He also inquired about Fang Jin's background, but only got some superficial information.

Fang has just stepped out of school and has been promoted to captain and acting deputy leader of the action team. In a year or two, he will become a school officer. There will be absolutely no problem, and the time will even be shorter.

For such a young man with potential and promise, Luo Maoyun would naturally not let him go.

Luo Maoyun stretched out his hand and scratched his scalp and said, "Ling Hui, how about we treat Team Leader Fang to a casual meal sometime and express our gratitude?"

Ling Hui smiled and nodded: "It's time to invite Team Leader Fang to dinner! He's always saying hello to us when it comes to our business."

In fact, Ling Hui knows that there are some things that don't even need to be spoken now. As long as the brothers in the gang report out of Lincheng Station, people in the official circles will have to be a little bit disrespectful. Even the bosses of the police station will not talk to Ling Hui.

Be polite.

It can be said that Fang's influence today is invisible.

"Then it's up to you to take me to deliver this invitation."

"Don't worry, Second Master, I will definitely deliver it!"

Ling Hui was also a little envious. Although he seemed to be very famous as Luo Maoyun's bodyguard, after all, he was still a bodyguard. He had real power in the gang, but no status. He was far less famous than other gang leaders.

However, he was just envious in his heart and could not show any intention in this regard.

The biggest taboo as a subordinate is being unable to remain calm.

You can't have too utilitarian demands on your eldest brother, otherwise once your eldest brother finds out, your role as a bodyguard will be over.

On the contrary, as long as you are loyal and serve your eldest brother wholeheartedly, your eldest brother will definitely make arrangements for you once you have the opportunity. Doesn't your eldest brother know that you should use your own confidants to promote others?
