The man talking to Xu Yanhong was Duo Ji, the younger brother of Jia Yang, a drug dealer leader who was killed by Lu Zhanguo four years ago during the rescue of a widow of a narcotics officer.
Duo Ji was born in the Tibetan area of Southern Sichuan. Orphaned young, he grew up dependent upon his older brother Jia Yang.
Upon growing up, Jia Yang, in order to make a living, took Duo Ji to the southern border, where they heard that foraging for wild medicinal herbs was profitable.
Two youngsters, deprived of parental guidance and used to a hand-to-mouth existence, lacked any proper understanding of life. Their only aim was to have their fill of meals and to survive.
At the border, Jia Yang met the drug lord Ye Tianbao.
Seeing desire and ambition in Jia Yang's eyes, Ye Tianbao tempted him with benefits to join his business.
In order to ensure Jia Yang's loyalty, Ye Tianbao adopted 10-year-old Duo Ji as his godson.
