Chapter 167 — Extensive scope of involvement

Xu Hong smiled as he looked at Li Xiang, "I don't know either, but I just feel that you won't die. Perhaps, the two of us were brothers in our previous lives, and both of us said that we were brothers in the same soul."

Brother? Thinking about A Ming, he still could not forget about A Ming's death. Every time he thought about A Ming, his eyes would become moist.

"What's wrong? Does it remind you of sad things?

Li Xiang hurriedly wiped his eyes, "Oh, it's nothing, then what happened next?"

"Later?" Later on, I often went to the seaside, hoping to meet you again. This is because I still want to spar with you, and it has been many years since I have met an opponent like you, "said Xu Hong as he smiled at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang also laughed and patted Xu Hong's shoulder. "Don't worry, when I get the chance in the future, I will fulfill my request and exchange two blows with you."

"Later on, I saw you by the sea. At that time, you were recuperating at a fisherman's house. If it wasn't for the fact that you were injured, I would have challenged you at that time. But when I went back to look for you, you had already left. "

"If you really had a fight with me back then, I would have thought you were going to kill me. I would have fought you with my life on the line." After Li Xiang said this, the two of them laughed, feeling like they hated seeing each other too late.

"Then why haven't you left? Could it be that you are waiting for me to retrieve the USB? And then you want to chat with me? " Li Xiang asked again.

Li Xiang's intuition told him that there must be another reason why Xu Hong had not left this place.

Hearing Li Xiang's question, Xu Hong's face sunk, as if there was something hard to say that was difficult to say.

Li Xiang patted his shoulder, and said sincerely: "Brother, since you treat me as your brother, what else do you have to say for yourself?"

Xu Hong laughed, "Ever since I knew that you weren't dead, I knew that we would meet again. The day that you saved someone, this place was taken away, and the Public Security had copied many surveillance videos here.

"Instinct again?" As Li Xiang said this, he looked at Xu Hong and smiled.

Xu Hong laughed and took a deep breath, "That's right, maybe we really were brothers in our previous lives."

"Fortunately, I don't have any brothers in my life. Otherwise, I would really think you were my long-lost brother." Li Xiang joked.

"Were you really waiting for me to come back for the USB drive?" Li Xiang asked.

Xu Hong stopped smiling, his clothes looked like he wanted to speak but stopped. After a long while, he said: "Speak, I have another reason why I have yet to leave this place, it is because I no longer have a place to go. I do not have a home, I have always lived here."

At this time, Xu Hong's heart was especially sad. He thought that he, a great youth, should have had a lot of achievements and should have fought hard for his career. He never thought that he would end up like a beggar that lived in an abandoned factory.

Li Xiang looked at Xu Hong's sorrowful expression and said, "Brother, since you treat me as your brother and so much already, I'll help you out. When I get back, I'll find you a place to live and then find a job."

Hearing Li Xiang's words, Xu Hong was extremely grateful, but he did not accept it, "Thank you brother, I will not trouble you then. Although this factory is abandoned, but master is still fine, you don't need to pay the electricity and water fees."

Li Xiang became unhappy, "Do you take me as your brother now? Besides, you have to find a job, right? You have to solve the problem of eating. "

Speaking of work, Xu Hong sighed, "I want to go as well, but when the other party sees my face, they treat me as a gang member and hide from me. Who would dare to use me like that?"

"Everyone says that this is a society that looks at the face. Those celebrities and celebrities look at the face, but I can't believe that a man like me has to look at the face to find a job. Sigh, this society …"

Li Xiang patted Xu Hong's shoulders, and comforted him: "Don't complain anymore, calm yourself, your matters are all mine."

Xu Hong was very grateful and did not know what to say. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Brother, are you the one who asked you to find the USB in the yellow mountain?"

When Li Xiang heard this question, he felt it was very strange.

Xu Hong hesitated for a long time, he did not know if he should say it. He then asked, "Brother, tell me, are you from the Public Security Department?"

Seeing that he did not speak for a long time and even asked if he was a member of Public Security, Li Xiang knew that Xu Hong must have known some secrets that he did not know. He believed that Xu Hong must have grasped many of their secrets after staying in this group for such a long time.

Li Xiang looked at Xu Hong with a serious expression and said: "What do you know? You've been in them for a long time, so you must know some secret. "

"Bro, if you're not from the Public Security Department, then don't ask. The water in this place is too deep, and it involves too many people. Knowing too much is not good for you."

This was the second time that Xu Hong had seen rationality, but from the last time that Li Xiang helped Huang Shan, he could tell that Li Xiang was an extremely righteous person, and a very capable one as well.

If Ideal knew too much, he would definitely investigate until the end. That would be very likely to be fatal for Li Xiang, and it might also implicate his family and friends by his side. He could not put such a loyal person in danger.

Li Xiang looked at Xu Hong and did not say anything for a long time. "Can you tell me that you think it's because of the people of the city? Could it be that you want more people to be victimized?"

Xu Hong had questioned him again and again for a long time, but he couldn't bear Li Xiang's questioning. In the end, he told his what he knew.

"Well, that masked leader came here to look around. When he was speaking to us, he said that we should work properly. He said that there was no need to be afraid, that we would be supported by the higher-ups."

"He said that there are our people in the city, and there are even people in the Public Security Bureau. He also said that in the city, and even in the provinces, and even higher, there are people who want us to defend boldly."

Li Xiang was stunned when he heard this, he never thought that this matter would involve so many people, including the officials of the province, who were the ones to get involved, and what was the higher level they were talking about?

If even the center was involved, then this matter would be very troublesome. It would be even more difficult to uncover the mastermind's true identity.

After thinking about it, Li Xiang finally decided that he had to continue his investigation. For the sake of the citizens of the city, in order to not cause more harm, he had to bring out Mu's biggest black hand.

Firstly, he was sure that the masked man was without a doubt Li Quan An, if he could find evidence to make him admit his mistake, perhaps through him, he would be able to pull out the other black hand.

However, it was easier said than done, and he was afraid that he could not do it alone. He had to find a reliable person with some background to work together to tear this chain apart and bring the biggest black hand to justice.

But who was he looking for? In the middle of Yellow Mountain? Li Xiang knew that he used to be a gangster, but he didn't know why he had become a commoner later on. He said that his family background was very big, but he didn't know what that background was. Was he still worth trusting? Li Xiang was suspicious.

Thinking over and over again, Li Xiang couldn't come up with a suitable candidate, and in the end, decided not to think about it anymore.

"Bro, what are you thinking about?" Xu Hong looked at Li Xiang, but did not say a word.

"Oh, nothing."

Li Xiang came back to reality and looked at the sky. He took a deep breath and touched his belly, "Alright, let's not think about that anymore. It's already dawn and I'm very happy to meet your brother. "Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal."

Li Xiang laughed happily as he walked downstairs. Xu Hong scratched his head, he did not understand what was going on. Just now, when he saw Rui Rui's serious look, he felt like nothing had happened. He did not know what was going through his mind.

The two of them walked down the empty street. The gates on both sides of the street and the breakfast restaurant were still open. They walked to a square and found a chair to sit down.

The two of them sat on the resting chair without saying a word, both looking at the few middle-aged women who were practicing in the distance and thinking about their own thoughts.

Li Xiang sighed, thinking that in a short span of a few decades, he would quickly become like these old aunties, slowly aging. Afterwards, he would have nothing to do, come to the plaza and dance every day, to temper his body.

"What are you sighing about? Do you see these uncles and aunties thinking about their future? " Xu Hong seemed to have seen through what Li Xiang was thinking.

Li Xiang looked at Xu Hong and teased: "As expected of a good brother, you finally understand me this quickly. Looks like we really share the same heart.

"Come on, you." Then they both laughed.

After eating breakfast, Li Xiang took out a bank card and shoved it into Xu Hong's hands. "Take this, I'll be taking it from you now, but you have to return it in the future, the password is 521406."

"How can I do that? How can I take your money?" Xu Hong rejected.

Li Xiang thought as he stuffed all of them into Xu Hong's pocket, "Since we're good brothers, then you should accept me. If you continue to reject me, you just don't treat me as your friend." When he said that, Li Xiang was unhappy.

Xu Hong could only accept it and asked: "Is there any meaning to your password? "521."

Li Xiang laughed, "The four at the back are the order of the letters in English, is it in the front? Think for yourself. "Find a place to stay in later and look for me. I still have things that I need your help with. I think you know where to find me."

After Li Xiang left, Xu Hong looked at the bank card in his hand. He knew that he had met a good brother that was worthy of dating for his entire life, and Li Xiang had allowed him to experience the affection between brothers.

He was thinking, could this brother be Li Xiang, because that time on the roof of the building, when he met Li Xiang, he felt a sense of familiarity.
