Chapter 122-the Essence Of Greed
Keep smiling. Nothing is worse than death. If you can have fun in hell, you can do whatever you want in heaven. Even God would not dare to punish a scoundrel.
The three of them had shackles on their bodies. The blonde hair and blue eyes were locked relatively easily. One leg was locked. Xi Zhiming had both legs. The black and sturdy giant was in a much worse situation. Not only were his feet locked by the huge shackles, his shoulders were also pierced with two wire ropes. He wore a metal ring around his neck and a chain attached to the other end.
To be locked up in such a strong house and locked up like this, one could imagine that this fellow was most likely a monster.
Xi Zhiming raised his head and saw Gu Tianyou rush into the room and throw the poker on the ground. He clapped his hands and said, "Are you here to save me?"
Gu Tianyou nodded and said, "I'm not here to see my brother-in-law."
Xi Zhiming curled his lips and tilted his head, "Then what are we waiting for?"
"You seem to be living much better than I thought," Gu Tianyou said.
Xi Zhiming said, "If you had come a few days ago, you wouldn't have said that. I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to handle you if you came a few more days later."
Gu Tianyou said, "Alright, let's talk slowly on the way. Let's go."
The middle-aged foreigner suddenly said in English, "Please wait a moment."
Gu Tianyou's English was rather bad, but he did understand this sentence and looked at Xi Zhiming. "This is Mr. Robert Jr.," said the latter, who was taking the key from the unlocked teammate. "This is Mr. Robert Jr., and he's very good at cards, but I don't know him very well."
"That's a good name. It reminds me of another hero who wore the bottom of the prison, Little Radish."
Xu Xiaofeng was a little anxious and said, "The hostage has been found. What are you waiting for?"
Gu Tianyou glanced at him and said, "Guos Army has already occupied the outskirts. They don't know you, but they all know me. If we go together, perhaps no one will be able to leave. Take advantage of the chaos and take the hostages first. I'll leave a step late."
Xu Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment before Gu Tianyou said, "Isn't this the first time you've disobeyed on the battlefield? Is this the quality of the 722?" How could Xu Xiaofeng, a red-faced man, withstand the run of Gu Tianyou, a scoundrel who farts and hides his echoes? His words were hit to the point. He immediately bowed solemnly to the other four and hurriedly left together with Xi Zhiming.
Gu Tianyou warned loudly, "Someone just sent out a signal bullet. The overall situation is probably settled. Remember to avoid the positive path when you go out."
The gunshots in the factory area gradually became sparse. The main members of the other party were determined to break out of the encirclement. Guos Army's goal was to eradicate this place and kill those who could be killed. He really couldn't stop them and wouldn't desperately stop them. Because someone had warned Xi Xiangtao in front of the gate, Gu Tianyou had no choice but to restrain Xi Xiangtao. Because of this, Guos Army's surprise attack plan could not be fully implemented. The annihilation battle was turned into a siege battle by his opponent. The opponent's commander did not seem to care much about Xi Xiangtao's life and death. In less than an hour, all the guards, except those who died in the battle, had walked cleanly, not even leaving a single captive behind.
Not long after Xu Xiaofeng and the others left, a few Guos Army players rushed here. Gu Tianyou was talking to the middle-aged foreigner, Chicken and Duck. Neither of them understood each other's language. Gu Tianyou can still understand a little bit after half-guessing and half-listening, but this old man doesn't understand the language of our Empyrean Empire at all, and Gu Tianyou's half-accented English is also useless. As soon as the few members arrived, Gu Tianyou instructed them to bring the two of them along. He also instructed that the black man's chains should not be untied from him.
Three hours later.
The front yard was filled with more than a hundred people, all of them weak, looking like technicians controlled by drugs. But also an important gain. Some members of the Guo Clan were treating the wounded and keeping a list of the dead, while others were transporting equipment and tons of cargo to trucks.
Gu Tianyou pretended to look around the crowd and asked, "Did any of you see Xi Xiangtao?"
The young sniper called Su Muzhe said, "Chief of Staff, after the fight, you rushed too fiercely. You followed closely with your brothers in your car and left Xi Xiangtao in the car. At that time, we were in a chaotic battle. There were bullets everywhere and no one cared about him. Did you take advantage of the chaos to escape?"
Gu Tianyou frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Did you search Xi Xiangtao's private residence and office?"
Luo Jiahao came over and reported, "I've already searched. I found a large amount of cash in Xi Xiangtao's office. It's mainly US $, about tens of millions. There are also a few boxes of colorful bills like bearer bonds. They have par value, and one looks like US $100,000." "I found a vault in Xi Xiangtao's private residence. I found a large number of gold bricks, some antiques, calligraphy and paintings. I don't understand them very well. There are also some precious stones and jades." Gu Tianyou looked at his expression quietly and said, "I found a vault in Xi Xiangtao's private residence."
When he spoke of the bearer bond, his tone was slightly hesitant, and he even secretly observed Gu Tianyou's expression. This small detail could not escape the eyes of the ghost-like Brother Tianyou.
Gu Tianyou smiled at him and whispered, "Remember to wipe your mouth clean the next time you eat." Luo Jiahao's expression turned cold as he was about to explain. Gu Tianyou waved his hand to stop him, "Don't be nervous. It's not easy to travel thousands of miles in a foreign country. Take it. You can ask your brothers to bring out the remaining US dollars, calculate the exact number, and then report the names of the dead and injured to me."
Luo Jiahao stood at attention and said, "Yes! I'll do it now!" He whispered, "Report to the Chief of Staff. I only took a small portion of it. Only Su and I know about it."
Gu Tianyou said you should go do your work and ask Xiao Su to come over later. He beckoned a guard captain over and instructed, "Call Li Si'er, you two bring a few people to Xi Xiangtao's private residence, load the things there and bring them back to the town together with the goods from here. You will personally be responsible for escorting them to Commander Guo!"
The guard captain accepted the order. Su Muzhe was ordered to come over. Gu Tianyou looked at him with a smile and asked, "Do you miss home?" Su Mu Zhe nodded and shook his head, "Women miss home. I'm fine with it." Gu Tianyou said, "He told me about what you told Luo Jiahao. Don't be afraid. I have something to leave to you. I'll send you back home after you've done it." Then he said, "Did only you and Luo Jiahao see those boxes of bearer bonds?"
Su Mu Zhe nodded and said, "Yes!"
Gu Tianyou smiled and handed him a car key. "You know what to do, right?" He said.
… … … …
Gu Tianyou drove the two foreigners back to the base in Guos Army. Guo Quanxing waited for a long time and was looking forward to it.
"It's done. Unfortunately, I let Xi Xiangtao escape carelessly for a moment!" Gu Tianyou pretended to be annoyed.
Guo Quanxing's face was full of joy, "Run away, run away. I saw the goods that Dashan and Li Si brought back. Second brother is counting. Our Guos Army is rich this time!"
Gu Tianyou said expressionlessly, "I took the initiative to distribute the banknotes found in Xi Xiangtao 's office to the brothers of the Special Forces. The opponents are very difficult to deal with, and the brothers have suffered a lot of casualties."
Guo Quanxing had already heard of this. If Gu Tianyou hadn't said anything about leaving earlier, he would have definitely seen this as a move to bribe people with dissent. However, Gu Tianyou had already said that he would leave after finishing this matter, so doing so was nothing. At this moment, Gu Tianyou said this on his own initiative, and he was even more satisfied. He pretended to be generous and said, "You are the Chief of Staff of the Guo's Army . The two of you are above ten thousand people. You can decide on this matter."
Gu Tianyou said, "Jiang Shan is settled. My father-in-law has almost done what he promised Old Master Guo. If the Commander has no other opinions, I plan to leave now."
Guo Quanxing was stunned. Gu Tianyou said, "I owe you a lot of love these past few months, but father-in-law's will cannot be disobeyed. You and I don't want to cause trouble, so please accept."
Just as he was speaking, Guo Mingguo came over after finishing his work. He did not avoid Gu Tianyou and said, "The number has come out. The gold is just 40 tons. There is no way to count the other items for the time being."
Guo Quanxing said, "The Chief of Staff is leaving now. He doesn't even plan to drink a cup of celebration wine. What is this?"
"Since the Chief of Staff has already made his decision, I believe that this is also what Teacher Hu wants, then we won't leave anyone behind. However, before we leave, we still have one more thing to entrust to him," Guo Mingguo said happily. With that, Guo Mingguo waved his hand and ordered someone to drive a car. "There are some things on the car for Teacher Hu. They are all antiques, paintings and jewelry. These things were taken back by the Chief of Staff and his men. Let's call them brothers who borrowed flowers to offer Buddha Buddha to show their indifference," Guo Mingguo continued.
In addition to finding two truckloads of gold in Xi Xiangtao's private residence, he also pulled back four large carts of new drugs, estimated at more than 50 tons, from the Taoyuan Chemical Plant. Not only did this black-and-white operation reap huge benefits, it also established Guos Army's position as the regional overlord for a considerable period of time. If this was just a favor from Hu Sanbian's return to the Guo Clan's old patriarch, this favor would be too great. Guo Quanmin regarded Hu Sanbian as a celestial, so how could he not express such a great kindness?
Gu Tianyou knew that this son-in-law's name was Xibei, but the more he did, the more he couldn't show his fear. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Commanders, I will definitely bring your meaning to father-in-law."
Guo Quanxing was slightly moved. He patted his chest and hammered Gu Tianyou's chest. "The position of Chief of Staff of Guos Army will always be reserved for you!"
This person acted a little recklessly, but compared to the cunning and gentle Second Brother Guo, he was a bit more heroic. Just as Hu Sanbian said, the two brothers complemented each other in unison. Gu Tianyou personally felt that he would rather make friends with Old Third Guo.
Guo Mingguo said: "This truck is very valuable, I'm afraid it won't be easy to ship it back, but I wonder if the Chief of Staff needs our help?" There seemed to be a sense of probing in his words. After saying that, he looked at the two foreigners in Gu Tianyou's car, one black and one white, seemingly inadvertently.
"I got these two from Xi Xiangtao. Father-in-law is interested in them and ordered me to bring them back." Gu Tianyou calculated that the two of them could not find Hu Sanbian. '"Father-in-law of the Channel has already arranged for the Myanmar military to escort us by water. However, the Deputy Commander is right. With so many things, I can't take care of them by myself. Thank you, Commander, I'll take the title of Chief of Staff first. I'll take the title of Chief of Staff and use it to ask for two more people with shame," he said, grabbing onto a life-saving straw and not letting go.
