Wang Xuexin hesitated for a moment: "There is a batch of goods to be loaded on the ship. Brother Hong doesn't have enough manpower. We have to get there quickly."

Hu Pingtao asked curiously: "What kind of goods?"

If it is ordinary goods, this kind of thing will not be your turn anyway, it will only be given to workers outside.

Unless it's something shady.

Wang Xuexin turned the car key and started the engine, and said two simple words without looking back.

"Bait."

…

"Dynasty Hotel" covers a large area, especially the underground part, which is more than five times larger than the ground. The huge underground building has three floors, of which only the first and second floors are for guests.

Hu Pingtao followed Wang Xuexin and slowly went down the stairs, from the first floor to the third underground floor.

There is no passenger elevator here. In addition to the stairs, there is only a lifting platform for engineering use. This thing was left over when the villa was built and has never been dismantled. It is mainly used to carry goods, and it can also be used to conceal people's eyes and ears from outsiders who do not know what is going on.

I thought there were only two floors underground here.

When standing at the bottom of the stairs, Hu Pingtao felt nervous, and various elements such as excitement, doubt, and fear were released from the depths of his mind.

This is a large, cross-shaped underground building area. There are rooms on both sides of the corridor, and the doors are closed. Except for the green arrows on the wall used for marking, there are only lights for lighting.

Hu Pingtao's previous feeling of "seeming to have caught something" became even stronger.

Wang Xuexin took him and two other people into the first room on the right.

It is very spacious and decorated in an ordinary style. The furniture is also simple. In addition to a bed against the wall, there are only two chairs and an ordinary wooden table.

Hong Zongyuan sat on the chair in the middle, with two bodyguards standing beside him.

There was obviously something placed on the bed against the wall. It was covered with white sheets and was uneven.

Hu Pingtao followed Wang Xuexin's footsteps and walked to Hong Zongyuan, bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Hello, Brother Hong."

Hong Zongyuan nodded indifferently: "It came very quickly, hurry up and do it!"

He then raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the bed: "The things are ready. A Xin, you and A Heng are responsible for it. Send it to the ship now."

Wang Xuexin asked: "Brother Hong, is it still the same place?"

Hong Zongyuan replied calmly: "Yes. When we got to the place, I gave the things to Ma Mian and told him that the wind has been tight recently and it is estimated that this is the last batch of goods this year. Let him receive the goods and go to sea as soon as possible, so as not to be caught by the police.

"

As he said that, Hong Zongyuan focused his attention on Hu Pingtao: "Ah Heng, this is your first time transporting goods. If you don't understand anything, just ask Ah Xin. There will be many more things like this in the future."

Although he didn't quite understand what he meant, Hu Pingtao still bowed to Hong Zongyuan with a flattering smile on his face: "Thank you, Brother Hong."

Hong Zongyuan felt comfortable after hearing what he said. He smiled and pointed to the bed: "Aheng, you are not an outsider. Come over and take a look at the goods! It's good to be mentally prepared."

At this moment, Hu Pingtao felt that everyone in the room, including Wang Xuexin, looked at him very strangely. Ridicule, ridicule, pity, curiosity... in short, it was not something he was familiar with.

He calmed down, walked to the bed, gently opened the white sheets, and two pale human faces suddenly appeared in front of him.

These are two corpses placed side by side.

The deceased was female.

The woman on the left is thin and has many dark spots on her face. Based on Hu Pingtao's experience, it is not difficult to see that these are not corpse spots formed after death, but were present before the deceased was alive. Strictly speaking, it should be a skin disease

.

For a young woman, these plaques have a great impact and interference on the appearance.

The woman on the right is very fat. She has huge breasts of amazing size.

Neither of the two deceased people were wearing clothes, and under the sheets were two white bodies.

Hu Pingtao was frightened. He let go of his hand and the sheets fell to the ground. His face was full of horror and he was so frightened that his whole body trembled several times as if he was electrocuted. He took several steps back in panic and opened his mouth involuntarily.

Let out an extremely frightened "ah" sound.

Everyone in the room laughed.

Wang Xuexin stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand to support Hu Pingtao's shoulders from behind, smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's just two dead people."

Hong Zongyuan stared at Hu Pingtao, reached for a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and put it into his mouth, then threw the cigarette box towards Hu Pingtao, laughing with indescribable satisfaction "Haha"

: "Ah Heng, let's go ahead and smoke a cigarette to calm down."

He was very satisfied with Hu Pingtao's reaction, which was a normal behavior when seeing a corpse.

Hu Pingtao's movements were stiff, and he obviously hadn't recovered yet. Wang Xuexin bent down to pick up the cigarette case, walked around in the crowd, and when he finally handed it to Hu Pingtao, he took out one straight away and lit it.

When he got angry, he took a strong drag, then gave him the lit cigarette and chuckled, "What the dead fear most is the open fire in the world. Come on, smoke one."

Hu Pingtao took the cigarette with slightly trembling hands. He acted very eagerly, as if he needed this cigarette to pull him back from the depths of the dark world. He took a deep breath, feeling the stimulation from nicotine, and moved towards Hong Zongyuan.

He took two steps in the direction and asked hesitantly: "Brother Hong...the goods you are talking about...are you referring to them?"

Hong Zongyuan nodded, pressed the armrest of the chair and stood up, waving his hand heavily: "Hurry up and transport the goods! If you have any questions, ask Ah Xin on the way. Ah Heng, you are now an old man in the company. These things will be handed over later.

I'll do it for you, as long as you do it well, Brother Hong won't treat you badly."

Hu Pingtao's face was filled with lingering fear. He quickly bowed to Hong Zongyuan and saluted: "Thank you, Brother Hong."

Hong Zongyuan came to him with a smile, patted Hu Pingtao on the shoulder, and encouraged: "You are considered good. Let's talk about Aqiang! On the surface, he is a ruthless character, but when he first transported goods

, was so frightened that he couldn’t even speak, and later found out that he peed his pants... Hahahaha, Mr. Jin was also present that time, and Aqiang’s face was greatly humiliated.”

…

The black night cover up the black car slowly driving out from the basement passage of "Dynasty Hotel".

It's a long way from here to the agreed boarding location on the beach, and it takes more than an hour to drive. Of course, if you drive directly from the main road in the city, the distance is much shorter. However, the police now set up checkpoints to check for drunk driving and seat belts.

If you are not careful, you may be targeted by them. Instead of stupidly getting in on your own, it is better to take a remote dirt road. Although it is time-consuming, it is very safe.

Wang Xuexin talked a lot, and he talked while driving.

"These women all come in from outside. The Annan people, the Feibing people, the Burmese, the Siamese, and the Jianpuzhai and Malaiya people... all see us living a good life here and want to come here to hunt for gold.

.”

Hu Pingtao pretended not to understand and asked doubtfully: "Don't you say that foreign countries are much better than ours? My friend has a relative who left in 1992. In California, it is said that "capitalist" society is everywhere.

It's gold. Just doing a job of washing dishes over there can earn you thousands of dollars in a month. It's more than enough to support a whole family, let alone just one person."

Wang Xuexin smiled and said: "Don't listen to their nonsense. I know this better than you. The year before last, I followed Brother Hong to San Francisco. We ate in Chinatown and discussed business there. The owner of the local restaurant was a Chinese.

It is said that my ancestors sold piglets in the Qing Dynasty and later settled there. In the past, the unemployment rate in the United States was not so high. Even washing dishes in restaurants was paid hourly. Plus the tips from customers, my income in a month was considerable."

"Our country's economic situation in the past few years was far worse than it is now. Especially in 1992, what was the monthly salary you mentioned? How much was the monthly salary at that time? It was only a few hundred yuan. At that time, the exchange rate of US dollars to RMB 1 had exceeded

Seven, a month of hard work in the workplace, converted into US dollars, even shit

No. At that time, there was a saying that "those who build atomic bombs are not as good as those who sell tea eggs." This is what it means. Let alone your friends' relatives, even a month's salary of a national civil servant is less than that of washing eggs in an American restaurant at that time.

For plate workers, the difference is one between heaven and earth."

"No one wants to be poor for the rest of his life. Since ancient times, people have been criticized for being poor rather than prostitutes. If you have money, everyone will bow to you. If you have no money, you are still a waste no matter how capable you are."

"Isn't the salary of civil servants quite high?" Hu Pingtao asked with a confused look on his face.

Wang Xuexin was very happy: "You are talking about the present, I am talking about the past. There used to be an official living above my house. I heard he was some kind of director. Life was not bad at first, but his two sons were not too bad.

Don't worry, he has been fighting for his house all day long. The old man couldn't think about it, so he found a rope to hang from the window and hanged himself... You said that if you had money, you could buy an extra house, why would you have all these troubles? "

Hu Pingtao frowned: "You lied to me! Director... He is a very big official. How could he be so poor that he can't even afford a house?"

"As I said, that was before, not now." Wang Xuexin emphasized: "We don't talk about corruption. Under normal circumstances, officials' salaries depend on the government. If the country has no money, officials will be poor.

But look at the current officials, let alone division chiefs, even section chiefs and deputy sections, their salaries are much better than before."

"This is the benefit brought by national development... Don't tell me, you can only spend it if you have money. The heroin and heroin in our hands are not given to you for free. Only when we have no money will the ghosts sell them to you.

"

Hu Pingtao couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Xin, you are quite awesome! Such a small thing can actually be connected with major national events."

"The general environment is very important!" Wang Xuexin said seriously: "Just say that the two women in the rear compartment ended up like this just for money."

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes slightly. After quietly guiding him for so long, he finally turned the topic to the direction he needed: "Brother Xin, who are these two women?"

"Annan." Wang Xuexin controlled the steering wheel with both hands and looked out the dark window, with a hint of pride in his tone.

Hu Pingtao was like a curious baby: "Why did the Annan people come to our territory?"

"Annan is a poor place." Wang Xuexin said: "In the past, they were willing to be the bear's lackeys and fought against us determinedly. Later, they lost the battle and were unwilling to admit defeat, so they confronted each other on the border. Ah Heng, have you ever fought?

, this tall and powerful person is born with an advantage. Annan is just a little bigger than us, how can he compare with us? In the end, it will waste national power in vain, and waste time in vain."

"Later, the Annan people made peace with us. Although the economy has improved to a certain extent in recent years, it is still far behind us. Seeing that we are getting richer and richer, and we are still the second largest economy in the world, the Annan people are jealous.

Women also started to think about it and started to play tricks like "Annan's Bride"."

Wang Xuexin suddenly lowered his voice and smiled contemptuously: "These two women came by sea last week. They are not good people. On the surface, they are Annan brides, but they are actually two liars. They smuggled themselves from the southwest the year before last.

After entering the country, I cooperated with a black matchmaking agency and defrauded several men. They were all poor men in the mountains. They had no money to find a wife and could only spend money to "buy a wife."

Hu Pingtao suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly: "I've heard about this. It's like spending thousands of dollars to buy a woman as your wife."
