In the blink of an eye, Zou Fugui ripped open his other side of his waist and pulled out his other kidney. "Here you go! I'll give you all of them!"
With a thud, the kidney slipped from his hand and smashed into Hong Ge's face. Then, Zou Fugui cut open his entire abdomen!
Heart, liver, intestines—all of them crashed down on Qiu Yuan and the other two!
"It's all yours! Take it! Take it all!"
finally……
"Ah! The world is destroyed! I saw Ultraman!"
"No! It's not Ultraman, it's Chun Ge! The Overpowering Technique! Chun Ge's Overpowering Technique is amazing! He's fully revived on the spot!"
"Mom, Mom, the weather is nice today, sunny and breezy. I'm going to school happily with the schoolbag you sewed for me on my back!"
"Xiaohua, you look more and more haggard!"
Qiu Yuan, Hong Ge, and Fei Ji Ge started rambling incoherently. Their eyes were completely unfocused and irrational. They held hands in the room and started dancing like they did in their childhood.
"Little conch shell, tick-tock!" Qiu Yuan led the singing.
Gao Jianfei stepped in from outside, shook his head, and said, "It's good that you've all gone mad. At least this world has one less few devils making money through dirty means."
Gao Jianfei ignored Qiu Yuan and the others who were happily playing games, singing, and dancing. He began to search the room carefully.
In the center of the room, there was a table covered with cold dishes and beer. Next to the table leg was a woven bag. Gao Jianfei walked over, opened it, and found five stacks of crisp 100-yuan bills inside.
"Damn, Qiu Yuan, you're really ruthless. This money is the cash you prepared for me, right? 50,000 yuan?" Gao Jianfei cursed under his breath, then put the five stacks of banknotes into the colorful woven belt in his hand.
After searching the room again but finding no more cash, Gao Jianfei picked up the plastic bag containing tens of thousands of yuan with one hand and left the room.
Chapter Ten Gao Jin
Chapter Ten Gao Jin
Gao Jianfei carefully carried a colorful woven plastic bag filled with several stacks of hundred-yuan bills in one hand, walked through the corridor on the second floor of the health center, and went down the stone steps to the first floor. Zou Fugui's ghost lingered beside Gao Jianfei, drifting about. For some reason, Gao Jianfei was unusually unafraid of ghosts today!
Even though Zou Fugui's ghost had used all its tricks, tearing out his heart, liver, and kidneys, making it a vivid and intense horror movie for Gao Jianfei to watch... Gao Jianfei was really not afraid!
In comparison, it was Qiu Yuan and Hong Ge's group that made Gao Jianfei feel lingering fear.
"If it weren't for this super ghost device, if it weren't for Zou Fugui, wouldn't I have been completely dominated by Qiu Yuan today?" Gao Jianfei turned his head to look at Zou Fugui's pale ghost face. Zou Fugui grinned and smiled at Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei politely returned its smile.
The human and the ghost seemed to be getting along quite well.
Apart from those few guys who were so frightened they had a nervous breakdown, there seemed to be no one else in the entire health center!
Gao Jianfei went to the main entrance on the first floor of the health center and saw that there was a large iron padlock on the door, which was locked tightly.
In fact, Gao Jianfei hadn't planned to slip out through the main gate. There were several burly men guarding the outside. Zou Fugui had a grudge against Qiu Yuan, Doctor Zuo, and others in life, and could manifest to terrify them. However, it might not have a grudge against the henchmen outside, so they might not even be able to see Zou Fugui's ghost. Even if Gao Jianfei could open the iron gate and rush out, the trick he used to terrify Qiu Yuan and the others would likely be completely ineffective.
Go through the back door.
Gao Jianfei turned around, walked more than ten meters, and sure enough, found a small wooden door. He kicked it open and strode out.
There were no of Qiu Yuan's henchmen guarding the outside.
A cool breeze swept over Gao Jianfei, making him feel thoroughly refreshed. He looked up at the sky and saw the bright moon hanging high and the stars scattered like chess pieces. It was a beautiful night!
Gao Jianfei felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a catastrophe.
Gao Jianfei walked briskly along a path.
It was around 9 p.m., and Gao Jianfei's plan was to walk to the highway and see if there were any taxis going back to the city.
After walking for about half an hour, the road ahead widened, and streetlights shone through. Gao Jianfei took Zou Fugui's ghost into his ghost den, letting it rest peacefully.
After walking for a few more minutes, Gao Jianfei arrived at a wide highway.
Along both sides of the road, there were several barbecue stalls, and a small affordable housing complex was located not far away, with soft lights shining from inside the complex. Cars occasionally drove by on the road.
Only then did Gao Jianfei completely relax.
Gao Jianfei hailed a taxi without any trouble.
I negotiated with the driver, and he agreed to take me back to the city. He didn't use the meter, and it cost me 30 yuan.
The taxi was speeding along when the driver saw Gao Jianfei in the rearview mirror. He was dressed simply and carrying an oddly shaped floral bag. The driver immediately judged Gao Jianfei to be a country bumpkin. So there was no conversation between them. The driver simply turned on the car stereo, listened to music, and drove.
Gao Jianfei turned his head to look at the beautiful night view rushing past the window, but his heart was not at peace.
Everything that happened today has once again reminded Gao Jianfei of an age-old truth... This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak!
Zeng Jian hit his mother with his car, but Zeng Jian showed no remorse and took no responsibility; Qiu Yuan tricked him into going to the wilderness and forcibly removed one of his kidneys... These two seemingly unrelated things are actually of the same nature.
The weak are destined to be devoured by the strong! Not even a bone will be left!
"I must become strong! I swear!" Gao Jianfei said fiercely to himself.
Originally, according to the original plan, after Gao Jianfei got a sum of money, he was going to find an opportunity to directly use violence to kill Zeng Jian to avenge his mother. However, at this moment, Gao Jianfei had to change the plan... Now that I have the Super Ghost Instrument software, is it worth it to die together with that bastard Zeng Jian?
There's no need for that!
Tonight, forced by circumstances, Gao Jianfei tried it out and experienced the wonders of the Super Ghost Instrument. His mindset underwent a tremendous change... Before, he was extremely resistant to the Super Ghost Instrument, but now, he is full of anticipation for it!
Perhaps, this super ghost device really might change my destiny!
Gao Jianfei couldn't wait to enter the ghost's den and have a good chat with that intelligent program!
But now is clearly not the time; we can only wait until we get home to discuss it.
The taxi quickly drove back into the city, and a dozen minutes later, Gao Jianfei got out of the car on the dilapidated, potholed road outside his community.
Having skipped dinner, Gao Jianfei started to feel hungry. He went to a makeshift night market stall at the street corner, ordered a bowl of cold noodles, a bowl of beef noodles, and a bowl of wontons, and began to devour them.
A plastic woven bag containing tens of thousands of yuan was casually placed beside Gao Jianfei. It wasn't that Gao Jianfei was arrogant; who could have guessed that this inconspicuous plastic woven bag contained a windfall?
While Gao Jianfei was treating himself, the Gao family...
Gao Jianfei's father sat in a wheelchair, bathed in the dim light of the living room. He rested his chin on his hand, his gaze deep, seemingly lost in thought or reminiscing.
It's hard to imagine that a disabled person who has lost both legs and his left hand, and should logically be completely hopeless about life, could show such a look.
It was an extremely complex gaze. Sometimes it seemed to be lost in a sweet memory, becoming very gentle; other times it would suddenly flash with a sharp, dignified glint; but most of the time, it was a kind of pain, an indescribable, deep-seated sorrow.
"Brother-in-law," Auntie came out from the inner room, glanced at the plastic clock hanging in the living room, "Brother-in-law, it's almost 10 o'clock, aren't you going to rest?"
Mr. Gao seemed completely absorbed in his own world and didn't hear what his aunt was saying.
Aunt shook her head and sighed, her eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness. She walked behind Gao's father and gently placed her hand on his shoulder. "Brother-in-law..."
"Oh," Mr. Gao came to his senses and glanced back at his aunt. "Elder sister, I'll wait for my son."
When Gao Jianfei was mentioned, Aunt's eyes looked a little off, but she still comforted him, saying, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, it's still early. Didn't Xiaofei say he's having dinner with friends today and asking them to help him find a job? Maybe he'll be back a little late, so don't wait for him. Why don't you rest first?"
Mr. Gao shook his head. "I'll wait a bit longer. Tonight, I need to have a good talk with my son. Sister, you should rest first and don't worry about me."
At this moment, Gao's father, who was usually weak and barely surviving, spoke with a tone that seemed to carry an irresistible meaning.
Hearing this, my aunt subconsciously nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll rest now, you can wait a little longer." After saying that, my aunt went back to the inner room and closed the door.
Mr. Gao wheeled himself into Gao Jianfei’s bedroom with one hand.
He didn't turn on the light.
In the darkness, Mr. Gao took out his old-fashioned cell phone, entered a string of numbers, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally pressed the dial button!
Mr. Gao put the phone to his ear, and his hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
"Beep beep beep..."
Suddenly, the call connected!
"Ah... Ah Bao..." Gao's father said in a low voice. His voice trembled, and even in the darkness, one could feel his intense emotion!
"Brother Jin? You're Brother Jin? My God! Brother Jin?" A rough voice came from the other end of the phone, trembling and excited, almost roaring as it asked.
Chapter Eleven: Is it a good idea to become a white-collar worker?
Chapter Eleven: Is it a good idea to become a white-collar worker?
“Ah Bao, it’s me, it’s Gao Jin.” Gao’s father took a deep breath. “I have sworn a solemn oath that I will never contact you again, never contact anyone in the circle, and never set foot in our industry again. I will live in anonymity, eking out a living, and grow old in obscurity… But today, I have broken my oath.”
The excited voice on the other end of the phone gradually calmed down. "Brother Jin, do you want to come out of retirement?"
"Haha...haha..." Gao Jin suddenly laughed, but there was no joy in his laughter; it was filled with pain and sorrow. "Ah Bao, have you forgotten? I'm a cripple! A cripple beyond repair! How can I come out of the mountains? Besides, I'm already lucky to be alive! Originally, I had let go of all the past grudges and was prepared to live as an ordinary disabled person. I had my son by my side, and I was content! I had forgotten everything from the past! I was just a useless old man, a cripple waiting to die! But..." In the darkness, a glint of light flashed in Gao Jin's eyes, like a shooting star streaking across the night. However, this glint quickly disappeared, replaced by a murky and dim light.
"Brother Jin, has something happened to your son?" "Ah Bao" on the other end of the phone was also very perceptive, and immediately got to the heart of the matter.
Gao Jin didn't waste any words. "In short, Ah Bao, I want to entrust my son to you! I'm sending him to live with you, and you'll take good care of him for me. I... I want my son to leave this city."
"Ha, Brother Jin, you want your son to follow me and kill people? No problem, three years, just three years, and I'll make sure your son takes the position!" Ah Bao said straightforwardly.
At this moment, Gao Jin screamed, "No! Never!" After shouting twice, he realized that he had lost control of his emotions and immediately fell silent. However, his face was covered with cold sweat, his chest was heaving violently, and his shoulders were twitching, making him appear to be in great pain.
"Brother Jin, what's wrong? Brother Jin?" Ah Bao called out anxiously several times.
Gao Jin gasped for breath, "Ah Bao, listen to me, you absolutely cannot let my son join your circle! Absolutely not! If my son enters that circle, I'd rather die!" After a pause, Gao Jin sighed leisurely, "In the world of gangsters, one is not in control of one's own destiny. Once you step into that circle, you can never turn back for the rest of your life! Ah Bao, I just want you to do me a favor, to use your connections to find my son a respectable job."
"Oh, Brother Jin, so that's what you're worried about... Alright! You know Feilong, right? Feilong's up and running now. He's dressed in suits and ties, become a businessman, and owns several big companies. How about this, let your son follow Feilong... uh, not exactly 'follow,' more like 'develop,' let your son 'develop' with Feilong, how about that? Definitely the right path, nine to five, damn, Saturdays and Sundays off!" Ah Bao laughed. "We Zheng Bang guys are all thugs, but Feilong is the only one who knows how to do business... Let your son follow Feilong! Feilong's my brother, he never contradicts me, Brother Jin, don't worry, leave this to me!"
"Flying Dragon?" Gao Jin's agitation subsided. "In short, Ah Bao, no matter what, I cannot let my son join your circle. I just hope my son can live a normal life, get married, have children, and live a peaceful and ordinary life."
Just then, the sound of a lock being opened came from outside the door. Gao Jianfei had finished his late-night snack and returned home, and the living room lights were turned on.
"Alright, my son's back. Ah Bao, you absolutely must arrange this for me. I'll be waiting for your news." With that, Gao Jin hurriedly hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket.
"Dad!" Gao Jianfei called out from the living room.
"Oh, Dad, in your room. Xiaofei, come in, Dad has something to discuss with you." Gao Jin turned on the light in Gao Jianfei's bedroom and called out. At this moment, Gao Jin's facial expression had completely returned to normal.
A few minutes later, Gao Jianfei came in carrying a colorful woven plastic bag in his left hand and a lunchbox in his right. Dozens of bamboo skewers were sticking out of the lunchbox, and some chili oil was faintly visible on the surface. The aroma of charcoal grilling wafted into the small bedroom.
"Dad, what are you doing in my room?" Gao Jianfei smiled, then glanced under the bed, thinking to himself that he hoped his dad wouldn't find the dagger he had hidden there.
Gao Jin stared intently at Gao Jianfei and said, "Son, come sit down. Dad has something very important to discuss with you!"
Gao Jianfei casually placed the plastic bag containing tens of thousands of yuan in the corner of the room, then smiled at Gao Jin and turned to leave. When Gao Jianfei returned to the room, he was holding a bottle of beer.
"Dad, I brought back some barbecue for you and Aunt. Dad, you haven't had a beer in a long time, come on, have some tonight!" With that, Gao Jianfei walked over, squatted down next to Gao Jin's wheelchair, opened the lunchbox, took out a skewer of dried tofu, and gently brought it to Gao Jin's mouth.
"Son, our family's financial situation isn't good right now, so don't waste money! Don't squander it!" Gao Jin muttered, but still took a big bite of the dried tofu. After a bite of dried tofu, he took a sip of the beer Gao Jianfei handed him. Suddenly, tears welled up in Gao Jin's eyes.
Those were tears of happiness.
And so, the son fed his father a bite of barbecue and a sip of beer, and the father ate happily. Neither of them uttered a sound, and time seemed to stand still, leaving only a faint warmth lingering in the small house.
