Chapter 34 Opportunity

The next morning, just after dawn, Zhao Xiu's doorbell rang. The loud noise almost disturbed the people in the building. It had been two days since Zhao Xiu moved in, and no one was looking for him, let alone Knowing that the doorbell of his residence had such an effect, he put on a coat, put the knife next to his pillow into his pocket, and walked to the door.

The external camera in the aisle directly projected an image to the visible screen inside the door. He looked at Shen Xuan in a fiery red dress standing outside the door in surprise, and opened the door.

"Sister Xuan, why are you here?"

Shen Xuan pushed him away, and went directly into the room, "I thought you didn't get up, but I can't tell you got up very early." She opened the shoe cabinet and looked, "Don't you have slippers in the cabinet?"

slippers?How could he prepare something like that?

Shen Xuan shook his head, "A man is a man, no matter how meticulous a man looks, he doesn't care about these things, I brought it myself." Shen Xuan took out a bag of shoe covers from his bag and threw it on the shoe cabinet.

"No need, just come in." Zhao Xiu looked at the pair of high heels on her feet, wouldn't she fall if she stepped on the shoe covers?

Shen Xuan ignored him and entered the room after putting on the shoe covers. She stood at the entrance and looked around, then nodded.

"You're not bad here." Everything that should be there is well prepared, and it looks quite neat.

Zhao Xiu took her to the sofa and sat down, "It was Ah Wen who helped me find my house, and I just moved in for a few days."

"Oh? I didn't know that Green Gang had such a house for his subordinates to live in. It seems that Brother Qi treats you well." Shen Xuan smiled, and put the breakfast in his hand on the small table, "I guess you I just got up, and I brought it along the way, the porridge made by this restaurant is very good."

"Thank you." Zhao Xiu glanced at the breakfast on the table, and spread his hands, "Young Master Qi is not easy to take advantage of." Lin Yuanqi is the best at making the best use of everything, since he has been treated like this, it must be this People have corresponding value, maybe he should thank him for investing a lot of money?

"Why do you want to come here today? Didn't you say that I'll go find you tomorrow?"

Shen Xuan brushed his hair, "I'm not welcome?"

"How is it possible? Sister Xuan, come here, the room is lit up." Zhao Xiu casually said words of praise.

"You're also quite poor-mouthed, kid." Shen Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Do you remember what I said last night?" She turned her face and smiled at him. Comfortable, and the fiery red dress on her body made her charming and enthusiastic. Shen Xuan almost showed the advantages of a woman to the extreme.

"Of course I remember, I promise you to accompany you to the banquet the day after tomorrow."

"What about the others?" Shen Xuan had a smile in his eyes.

"Anything else?" Zhao Xiu held the porridge, "You don't mind if I eat it in front of you, it won't taste good if it's cold."

"Of course I don't mind." Shen Xuan spread his hands, watching Zhao Xiu eat spoon by spoon, his eyes softened.

"Actually, I don't mind if you remember what happened yesterday. Although I drank too much for a while, I hope you will remember what I told you." Some things have been kept in my heart for too long, and it's good to be able to tell someone. A lot, it is impossible for a woman like Shen Xuan to say those things to other people, let alone how hard and helpless it is to be Lin Fang's woman. She will always behave elegantly, maturely, intelligently and generally on the outside.

"Sister Xuan, I'm not a talkative person."

"I believe in that."

Zhao Xiu quickly finished his breakfast, and when he was about to reach for a tissue, Shen Xuan had already handed it to him.

"Thank you." Zhao Xiu smiled at her after taking it, and he was not lacking in politeness in getting close.

Shen Xuan glanced at him, shook his head, and said slowly: "You are not so defensive."

Zhao Xiu has always been polite to her, even if she called him like that last night, he didn't say much, but she knew that he was just being polite to comfort her.

Shen Xuan took out a lighter and a pack of women's cigarettes from his bag, lit them and held them in his hand, the expression on his face faded, "I don't know why I called you yesterday, we've only met a few times, Even if you call me sister Xuan, I recognize you as a younger brother, but we all know that doesn't mean anything." She glanced at Zhao Xiu lightly, "However, since you call me sister, I should also be a sister. What to do." She took out a folder from her bag, an ordinary blue case, with the words 'XX Land Evaluation' written on it.Shen Xuan handed the folder to Zhao Xiu, "Take this, it may be useful to you."

Zhao Xiu took a look at her and took the folder over. He looked up at Shen Xuan with a calm face, and suddenly had a feeling that the closeness of this woman might be real?Isn't it purely to maintain the relationship between the two people on the scene?

Shen Xuan took a puff of cigarette, pushed the hair on his shoulders back, and leaned on the sofa, "Since I'm here, I'll just say something straight, don't think you're doing well now, you're on the road Many people can see the matter, and the Green Gang will only be more complicated than you know. For example, I told you yesterday that the news about you betting on cars with the boss of Montenegro was directly sent by someone inside. The whole story is also true. Although I drank a lot last night, my mind was very clear."

Zhao Xiu flipped through the information on Huchemen's recent movements in his hand, and looked up at Shen Xuan again, as if he suddenly thought of something, he frowned slightly, and when he looked at Shen Xuan again, his expression was obviously much more serious.

"Why, now you know that I really want to do it for you?" Shen Xuan glanced at him, with some self-deprecating meaning in his eyes, "Sometimes I also feel that I am looking for abuse, and I always send it to others. When you see the right thing, you think about being good to others, regardless of whether others appreciate it or not."

Zhao Xiu was taken aback, he didn't intend to treat Shen Xuan with such a rude and polite attitude, but how close can he be to a woman in just a few meetings?How can we talk about trust if we can't even get close?

"Actually, the day Brother Qi brought you here, I knew that you are not a simple person." Shen Xuan took a puff of cigarettes, probably drank too much yesterday, and said some words, even though they were what she wanted to say in her heart , but no matter the method or time was wrong, Shen Xuan exhaled smoke, "But this muddy water of the Qing Gang, no matter how capable you are, don't fall into it. That's what I told you yesterday."

The Shen Xuan who came today was not at all like the woman who called last night, but more similar to Zhao Xiu's appearance when he first saw her, mature and calm, with many things hidden in his eyes.

"Do you think I can still get away?" Zhao Xiu put the documents on the sofa.

"Why not?" Shen Xuan looked at him, "Men always say they can't help themselves, but in fact it's just that they don't want to do it, and they don't want to give up what they have now, so let it go while you don't have much. , maybe there is still a way to go." Shen Xuan said lightly, "Zhao Jiu, can you let go?"

Zhao Xiu looked at her and said slowly, "I can't let go."

Shen Xuan was taken aback, and after hearing his words, the expression on her face became very complicated. There were helplessness, disappointment and surprise, and it took her a long time to say: "I guessed it."

Like that person, Zhao Xiu also chose this road with no end in sight, a road that could lead to death at any time. She didn't know if that person regretted it when he died, but Zhao Xiu, she didn't want him to regret it, since he I chose to go this way.

Zhao Xiu watched Shen Xuan slowly close his eyes, with complicated expressions on his face, finally she sighed softly, opened her eyes and looked at him: "I can't help you much."

Zhao Xiu's expression changed, which means that Shen Xuan is willing to help him?

Shen Xuan extinguished the cigarette butt and inserted it into the ashtray. She leaned on the sofa, her long legs crossed gracefully, "Do you know the history of the Green Gang?"

Zhao Xiu nodded.

Shen Xuan poured a cup of water from the teapot and held it in his hands, "The inheritance of the Qing Gang is family-style, that is to say, the Qing Gang is only passed on to people surnamed Lin. This generation of Lin Fang has many children, but those who can be surnamed Lin There are only three, Brother Qi and his elder brother and younger sister. Brother Qi is an illegitimate child. Brother Lin took him back from the orphanage ten years ago, so he was given the surname Lin. Everyone is surprised at how he treats this son. I even speculate that he will replace Lin Yuanxiang as the heir of the Green Gang, you know, if Brother Lin is willing to support him, this is entirely possible." Shen Xuan paused, "In the end, Lin Fang was just looking for Lin Yuanxiang Aside from his surname, Brother Qi is just like Lin Yuanxiang. He doesn't get any attention, and he doesn't have anything special. He has all the power in his hands now. Little by little, they will fight back slowly, but Lin Yuanxiang will not let him go, the Green Gang cannot be inherited by two people, and it will be a matter of time before Brother Lin retires, it is a life-and-death struggle between Lin Yuanxiang and Qi Ge.”

Shen Xuan took a sip of water and looked at Zhao Xiu, "The fight between the two of them will involve more or less people. You are Brother Qi's man, and you are the enemy Lin Yuanxiang wants to deal with. That man is not easy to mess with. He In addition to the members of the Green Gang, he also has connections with the underworld in Vietnam. I recently heard news that the North American gangsters are discussing cooperation with him, and there may be results in the near future. Lin Yuanxiang grew up in the Green Gang after all. Yes, compared to Qi Shao, his foundation is deeper and he has more advantages, so you still choose to stand by him?"

Zhao Xiu smiled, "Then why did you choose to stand by him?"

Shen Xuan was taken aback by his question, and after a while, he slowly said: "Because I am willing." She, Shen Xuan, is snobbish, but powerful women also have the right to be willful.

Zhao Xiu's smile deepened, "You have already answered for me." He and Lin Yuanqi were either willing or not, it was simply a cooperation, Zhao Xiu's expression was indifferent, if Lin Yuanxiang gave more, he could also There are more options, but it's a pity that the person... wants to kill him.

Zhao Xiu recalled the way Lin Yuanxiang looked at him when they met that time, he smiled so politely that his murderous intention disappeared in an instant, if Zhao Xiu hadn't walked through life and death many times, he might not have been able to detect it.

"If you want to help Young Master Qi, you have to deal with one person first."

"Who?"

"The boss of the Chongwen Gang, Guitou."

Shen Xuan drank the remaining water in the glass, and put the empty glass on the table, "There are two things that make the most money on the road, arms and drugs. Mr. Qi doesn't touch drugs, Lin Yuanxiang does both, and his subordinates have There are both right and sidelines in their respective territories, but unfortunately he is not as good as Qi Shao in the right way, so he can only make up for it from the sidelines. A large part of the drugs from Vietnam are digested in his field, but the Green Gang They have never followed this path. Except for a few generations of bosses who have been in the drug business, most of them are not involved. Brother Lin's attitude towards the drug business is ambiguous, and Lin Yuanxiang dare not do it blatantly under his nose, so He's looking for another home."

"Is it the Chongwen Gang?"

"Yes. Guitou's younger sister is Lin Yuanxiang's mistress. He is the one who was supported by Lin Yuanxiang. Now Lin Yuanxiang manages most of the drug business under Lin Yuanxiang. If he falls down, Lin Yuanxiang will be chopped off. hand." Shen Xuan's tone was very light, and his face remained calm.

Zhao Xiu sat on the sofa opposite her, looked at her quietly, and said after a while: "Why did you tell me this?" Wouldn't it be better to tell Lin Yuanqi directly?

Shen Xuan smiled, "Don't forget, I belong to Brother Lin, not his son." She leaned on the sofa, "As for me telling you this, it is because you are my younger brother."

Zhao Xiu didn't say anything, he knew that Shen Xuan must have some reasons why he didn't say it, but what she said was enough.

"If you want to deal with the ghost, you have to find a good reason. I don't suggest you to attack first, after all, Lin Yuanxiang is brother Qi's brother." People on the road are also very afraid of this guy.

"I know." Zhao Xiu smiled, Lin Yuanqi has always been very good at making tricks.

"It's good that you understand, well, all that needs to be said is almost done, tidy up, and come with me." Shen Xuan glanced at him.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Xiu was surprised that the woman's topic changed so quickly.

"Jueya." Shen Xuan said casually.

Zhao Xiu raised his eyebrows.

Shen Xuan laughed, "Isn't it because of the shadow of what happened last time?"

"how come?"

"It's fine if you don't." Shen Xuan got up and looked at him from top to bottom, "It's not good, you have to go out for a stroll first. You wear these clothes all over the place, and they have no taste at all. It's me Shen who said it." I feel ashamed of Xuan’s younger brother, so I’ll go to Jueya after shopping, and choose tomorrow’s clothes by the way.” Shen Xuan couldn’t understand his appearance, “The same goes for his hair, it’s so ugly.” Zhao Xiu’s hair was on the wrong side. Long, covering the forehead and some even covering the eyes.

"Brother Qi, I greeted you in the morning. Just follow me, don't make excuses." Shen Xuan directly blocked what Zhao Xiu wanted to say. Seeing his rare expression of helplessness, Shen Xuan suddenly I feel good.

Zhao Xiu stood up, looked at her excited face, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Shopping with a woman is definitely one of the most painful things for a man.
