I lit a cigarette and looked at wood: "you've got the right person today Yes, I did meet boss Li after he came back from Japan I did have several conversations with him, and I did hear him talk about you From what boss Li said, I do know why he has not seen you all the time. "

"Go on." Wood looked at me with an attentive look.

I said, "may I not?"

"No, I think you have to say It's not up to you... " Wood's words vaguely showed some aggressiveness and ferocity: "Ike, I've always appreciated you. I don't want to affect my impression of you because of this, and I don't want to destroy our good relationship because of this

"I'm different from Li shunbai. I don't have martial arts experts or swords around me. It seems that you don't have to worry about me. However, I still want to tell you that a real master can't use these Of course, you can take my words for granted

I made a face of embarrassment and hesitation, as if full of doubts.

Wood then stopped talking and looked down at Sun Tzu's art of war.

"I don't want to betray boss Li." I said.

"It's not selling Li Shun and I are not enemies. " Wood did not look up and said.

"Why don't you ask him directly?" I said.

"Can I see him? Where can I find him? Can you tell me where he is? " Wood looked up at me. "I'm afraid it's more difficult for you."

"Actually, I really don't know where he is." I said.

"I believe that Li Shun's style of doing things has always been like this. " Wood said.

"Well What should I do? "

"I said, you have no other choice. What should you do? Don't ask me!" Wood looked down at the art of war again.

I took a deep breath, took two puffs of the cigarette, and then pressed the cigarette end into the ashtray, making it look like I was determined.

"How's it going? Have you figured it out? If I can't figure it out, I can still think about it. I have plenty of time to wait. " Wood looked up and said.

"I tell you, but you have to promise me a condition!" I said.

Wood said with a smile

"You can't tell anyone about our conversation tonight! I'm talking about anyone I said.

"Ha ha, it's your turn to say that this time." Wood began to laugh: "Ike, I can tell you that wood is the best in everything. You can rest assured that your request is exactly what I want I will abide by it, and you believe you will, too

My first step was done, and then I started to implement the second step.

The second step is the most important. In order to make wood believe me, I have to tell him something that seems "confidential", and this "secret" must be known to him.

I said, "why did boss Li go to Japan? I think you know why?"

Wood said, "I'm listening to you. Don't ask me..."

I said: "ningzhou Shangri La Hotel was smashed because of the spring selling incident. Miss Li was under the control of boss Li. At that time, an important international conference was held there. The impact of the smashing incident was very bad, which caused the anger of the central leaders who attended the meeting. The Ministry of public security and the provincial public security department came to supervise the case.

"This case was done by boss Li's subordinates. The investigators threatened to dig deep into the background and find out the boss behind the scenes. The target of the investigation gradually pointed to boss Li. In this situation, boss Li went to Japan in order to avoid the limelight."

"Well..." Wood nodded.

"After the incident, boss Li arranged a detailed investigation and learned that the Shangri La smashing incident was actually made by Bai Laosan." I'll go on.

"Oh..." Wood had a look of surprise.

I knew that he was pretending to force me to go on and said, "Bai Laosan arrangers entered Shangri La Hotel, and then called to ask for miss. They knew that the hotel was holding an important international conference, that the hotel had strengthened security measures, and that miss was not allowed to come in, but they still wanted Miss intentionally. The purpose was to provoke boss Li's staff and induce them to smash Shangri La Pull Hotel, led to this shock the central high-level event

"This incident has brought extremely heavy economic and personnel losses to boss Li. All business projects in ningzhou have stopped, and Erzi and Xiaowu have also been arrested. They have died in vain Boss Li himself was forced to leave Japan For this reason, boss Li hates Bai Laosan. "

"Well..." Wood nodded.

"I didn't expect boss Li to get killed again in Japan. He was chased by the Japanese underworld and had to go back to China Fortunately, things in ningzhou have basically subsided and the environment has become relatively safe. " I continued: "after boss Li came back, he always wanted to avenge ningzhou. He said that he would have to settle accounts with Bai Laosan one day."

There was a smile on wood's lips, and he said, "well What does that have to do with me? "

I said, "of course it matters Boss Li has known for a long time that since he went to ningzhou, you and Bai Laosan have been very close to each other. He also knew that you and Bai Laosan's official brother-in-law are very close. Boss Li didn't care about this. He said that you are his godfather. No matter who you have a good relationship with, you won't surpass your relationship with him. He also said that although you are good with Bai Laosan in performance, in fact, your heart is toward him"However, since he left ningzhou and came back from Japan, he has changed. He doesn't mention you much in front of us. Even occasionally, he seems very upset, even sad, and sometimes angry."

"Oh..." Wood raised his eyelids and looked at me intently: "why? Say it

Wood was a little restless, unable to keep calm.

I said, "at first I felt a little confused. Then one day, he skated a lot By the way, boss Li skates. Do you know that? "

"Of course I know Go on Wood looked at me impatiently.

I said: "when you skate, your nerves are out of control. When you skate, boss Li keeps talking like he's drunk. When you catch someone, you want to talk. When you see everyone, you're like relatives. You'll dig out everything from your heart."

"Come on, what did he say about me after skating?" Wood had a nervous look in his eyes.

I picked up my glass, drank and said, "he suddenly cried Crying very sad After crying, it took me a long time to understand It turns out that he has a lot of opinions on you, and he says that he is very disappointed with you. "

"Why? Why? He said Wood's eyes were fixed on me and his throat growled.

"He said that he didn't expect you to leave him alone. He said that you must know about Bai Laosan's plot in ningzhou incident, but why didn't you give him a letter in advance? As a result, he lost a lot of money, killed two brothers and forced him to leave Japan. He said that you were beaten down by Bai Laosan with sugar coated shells and became his side

"He also said that he killed people in Japan, but you didn't care about him. He was almost caught by the Japanese underworld. If he was caught, he would die It's hard to escape back to China and pick up a life When he thought of this, he was so sad that he couldn't do it I said slowly: "I think that's why boss Li hasn't seen you all the time. He's resistant to you."

When I said this, wood suddenly took a deep sigh of relief and a long breath. His face relaxed, and he looked at me with a thoughtful expression. He didn't speak, as if he was thinking about the truth of my words.

Instead of looking at wood's face, I lit a cigarette and took two puffs: "that's all I know, that's all I can tell you Believe it or not, it's not my business

In fact, from the change of wood's expression just now, I know that he should have believed it. I think there is no loophole in the story. There is no reason for him not to believe it. From the look in his eyes, he seemed quite willing to believe the reason.

For a long time, wood said: "Ike, I can't find any reason not to believe it. So, I should believe it."

"Believe it or not, it doesn't seem that important to me."

"No, it's very important to you and to me." Wood burst into laughter, very relaxed and happy.

I said: "you know boss Li has feelings and opinions about you, and you are very happy It seems that you really abandoned boss Li He made you Godfather for nothing

Wood was stunned, and then continued to laugh.

After laughing, wood looked at me: "Yike, I tell you, I brought Lishun out in Japan myself I am his godfather and will always be Look at problems, don't just look at the surface, look at things, don't just look at the present Now that Li Shun is in a mood for me and doesn't want to see me, well, let him be angry. I see how long he can last. "

I looked at wood and thought about the meaning of wood's words.

"Well, it's getting late. I'm hungry and you're hungry too. I'll order Japanese food. Let's have dinner here." Wood said.

It looks like he's in a good mood.

"No, I'm not used to Japanese food I'd better go out and have mutton soup. You can eat it yourself

Then I got up to say goodbye, and wood didn't ask me to stay. He got up to take me to the door and said, "Ike, you see, we've started to cooperate."

I gave wood a smile: "will we be enemies or friends?"

"Collaborators should not be enemies." Wood patted me on the shoulder with a smile: "Ike, I still said that, you belong to the world."

In margobi, wood began to show off this classic line again. When I heard this, I felt uncomfortable. I belong to the workplace and the civilized society. How can I belong to the Jianghu!

I didn't have a word, so I turned and went straight away.

Out of the club, I went to the parking place. It was dark and the street lights were not on. It seemed that it was broken.

I opened the car door, got in the car, caught a fire and left, thinking about which mutton restaurant to have a good meal.

After a short walk, I suddenly felt a big hand caressing my head from behind!

I was shocked all over, and suddenly I was terrified!

Damn, there's a ghost!
