Hearing Zhou Yuan's relaxed tone, Ai Ziqing, who had been standing there quietly, breathed a sigh of relief. She was not sure what unpredictable consequences today's actions would bring her, but since she was reborn, the future was already changing, and she had to work hard to fight for something so that she could stand better in the changed future!
She also didn't know how her efforts today would develop in the future, but she only knew that she should seize every opportunity to try, so that her future would be more secure. txt download
As for Zhou Yuan, she had seen some reports in later generations, which left a very deep impression on Ai Ziqing. In later generations, when Ai Ziqing knew Zhou Yuan, he had already been tried in court. However, it was not difficult to find that he was a very loyal soldier between the lines of those reports. Yes, he was a soldier. In 1994, he led his brothers who had retired and returned to their hometowns but had no way to work and make money to fight together. From being bullied while pulling goods in the vegetable market in Xicheng District, to resisting hooligans, and then pulling his brothers to grab the land and charge people for watching the market, to being betrayed by an insider and sent to prison in a gunfight...
In the 1990s, these things were very common. If a store opened a store without someone to protect it, it would definitely be troublesome every day. In order to do business steadily, it has become an unspoken rule to pay a certain amount of viewing fees to powerful gangs. Zhou Yuan and others also started out this way. It was just that they had no family background and had been struggling to support themselves. In addition, their viewing fees were not very high, so it was difficult for the gang to have savings. What are they fighting for? Isn't it manpower and money? That's why Zhou Yuan and others, who have little money, would think of disbanding the gang.
Ziqing knew that even without her, Zhou Yuan and others would survive this crisis, because Zhou Yuan was captured in her previous life when she was in college. At that time, the Black Tiger Gang was already a large-scale underworld organization, and was talked about after dinner in Yang City. And the gang would have a crisis now in 1997, but she only vaguely knew it from the few words of the cases in later generations, so Ziqing decided to take a gamble. It's not without danger. After all, she is a girl. If they have bad intentions, they can get the money they need by kidnapping her. But Ai Ziqing still came. She was betting on Zhou Yuan's character and his loyalty.
Just when Ziqing's palms were sweating and she was forcing herself to calm down, Zhou Yuan asked, "Why should I believe you?"
Hearing this, Ziqing's tense heart instantly fell, but she was born very good at concealing her emotions, and still said lightly, "You can only believe me."
Many years later, when Zhou Yuan and Wang Wu recalled this sentence, they still sighed: "I am glad that I chose to believe her back then. It was this sentence that changed our lives!"
========================================
When Ai Ziqing came, she hid a lipstick-style female self-defense electric baton in her sleeve. This was the latest high-voltage electric baton that Ma Yuxi had found for her before, so that she could use it for self-defense. It only takes a slight tap to numb a person to the ground and cramp. If you increase the force, you can directly electrocute a person or even electrocute him to death.
But I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Zhou Yuan made a decision in an instant to take a look at the things first.
Ziqing certainly didn't know that Zhou Yuan had doubted her. After all, she was a girl, and being able to stand here made people wonder how she knew about him and the Black Tiger Gang. Then, what she said was shocking to anyone. Zhou Yuan also suspected whether she was sent by the Axe Gang of Dongcheng District, but his understanding of Shi Lei instantly overturned this speculation. Even if Shi Lei wanted to annex them in this way, he couldn't be so stupid as to send a little girl!
So does she have another background? After thinking about it, if she really had another background, then for the brothers of the Black Tiger Gang, finding a big backer would be beneficial and harmless, so they decided to go with her to see the arms.
Ziqing naturally didn't have arms, but she had the foresight of fate!
The three agreed to meet tomorrow morning, and Ziqing said goodbye and left.
===========================================
Early the next morning, Ai Ziqing went out in a simple white casual outfit and drove straight to the agreed location, the central square.
When they arrived at the central square, there were already three people waiting there. In addition to Zhou Yuan and Lao Wu, another person introduced by Zhou Yuan was called Heizi. He was tall, strong, with a short buzz cut. He looked strong and powerful, but he was not simple-minded. On the contrary, although Heizi was honest, he had a very fast reaction and was agile. He was known as a sharpshooter in the army. Now he is one of the three giants of the Black Tiger Gang.
When the three saw Ai Ziqing at first glance, they were all stunned. Although they could tell that she was a young woman from her voice yesterday, they really didn't expect her to be so young! She looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.
But the three of them were not fools. Since Ai Ziqing had made such a boast, they should not let it go. On the contrary, a girl coming forward would make it easier for the three of them to let down their guard. If she was really sent by an organization, Zhou Yuan and others would give a thumbs up to that organization and say it was great! As for the car, the three of them did not find it strange at all. After all, the woman did not look like an ordinary person. If she behaved too ordinary, they would find it strange.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the four drove to the eastern suburbs of Yang City.
The eastern suburbs of Yang City were deserted. It was said that it was a large cemetery during the Anti-Japanese War. Later, it was filled and included in the scope of Yang City. Usually, no one came and went. After all, they all felt unlucky! However, according to Ziqing's memory, it was three years later that the urban area was developed, exposing the sensational scene.
In the eastern suburbs, Ziqing led a few people to wander aimlessly, but he looked calm and confident. The three men naturally had no idea that she was searching aimlessly. In their hearts, they were still admiring the fact that this woman could be with them in the wilderness, with such a relaxed look and a calm expression on her face.
Fortunately, more than half an hour later, when the three people just began to wonder why they had to walk the same road twice, Ziqing stopped the car and smiled, "We're here." If you look closely, you can see that her hands are tightly holding the steering wheel, and you can find that her mood is far from being as calm and indifferent as it seems.
It was an abandoned factory building, with no glass doors and windows, and the roof tiles falling off. It really didn't seem to be anything strange. Ziqing led the three people directly into the factory building. It was empty inside, with only a few old printing machines scattered in the corners. It can be seen that this is an abandoned printing factory.
While the three people were confused, Ai Ziqing's eyes scanned the ground, looking east and west, as if looking for something. The three people were not stupid. They guessed that there might be something fishy on the ground, so they also looked around. Finally, the four of them fixed their eyes on a printing machine leaning against the corner. Zhou Yuan and the other two moved the printing machine together. Ai Ziqing found a pull ring protruding from the ground. Her eyes lit up, and she hurried over to pull the pull ring and pulled it hard! Embarrassingly, the stone slab didn't move at all...
Old Five laughed and scratched his big bald head, "Let me do it. How can you pull this thing with your little arms and legs?"
"Little Five!" Zhou Yuan scolded in a low voice.
Ziqing smiled and shook her head, indicating that it was okay. Zhou Yuan said, "Don't mind, Miss Ai, Little Five speaks like this. The brothers are all soldiers and have no sense of propriety when speaking."
Ziqing nodded and looked at Wang Wu. Wang Wu smiled embarrassedly, walked to the stone slab, took a deep breath, held the iron ring with both hands, and pulled hard. Ziqing could even see his muscles bulging next to him. With a muffled rumble, the stone slab was slightly pulled open. Wang Wu shouted "Hey", and the veins on his forehead bulged, and the stone slab was slowly pulled open.
With a bang, the stone slab was fixed. There was an aisle under the stone slab, leading directly to the underground. Zhou Yuan glanced at Ziqing and saw her nod, so he walked in first, followed by Wang Wu and Heizi, and Ziqing walked at the end.
Ziqing's heart beat violently with the empty echo of her feet hitting the ground. She only saw in the newspapers that a major official corruption case occurred in Liao Province three years later.
When the factory building was demolished in the eastern suburbs of Yang City, no one could have imagined that such an abandoned factory building would hide a large number of guns and ammunition. All this was so sensational!
After that, the central government instructed to resolutely investigate the underworld, and successively implicated a series of officials, even senior military officials, who provided arms and weapons to the underworld, and other extremely serious and bad incidents!
Last night, when Zhou Yuan and Wang Wu mentioned arms in the alley, Ziqing's mind flashed through this incident like lightning, which led to a series of decisions later. But she was not sure whether she could really find these things, after all, that would be nearly three years later. She also thought that if she really didn't have them, she would use money to destroy Zhou Yuan's gang as she had decided at the beginning, but if that happened, her position in Zhou Yuan's heart and in the gang would not be established quickly, which would be detrimental to future control.
Ziqing took a deep breath nervously, looking forward to the results of this foresight. This feeling of foresight and control was really too subtle.
"Ah!" Zhou Yuan, who went down first, screamed softly.
"What's wrong? Brother Yuan!" Wang Wu and Heizi quickly came to Zhou Yuan, took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp.
There were several large wooden boxes in the basement. Zhou Yuan opened a box first, and it was full of dozens of Type 95 pistols! Heizi excitedly picked up one, fondly touching and testing the feel, while Wang Wu opened another large box, which was also full of guns! There were also two boxes of bullets, and another long box was full of more than a dozen AK47 assault rifles.
Several people kept silent and opened the boxes one by one. "Ah... Desert Eagle! Brother Yuan!" Heizi exclaimed.
The three of them quickly surrounded them. Ziqing didn't know much about guns. He only heard Heizi's surprise and said, "Gas-operated unlocking and bolt-rotating locking, 94-year-old 0.50ae large caliber, super powerful! The disadvantage is that the recoil is strong, but it's no problem for me!"
"Oh my God, so many guns..." Zhou Yuan turned his head and looked at Ai Ziqing in a daze. This was simply incredible. It was almost as big as a small arsenal, with at least the combat power of two companies in the army!
"I suggest moving it away quickly, because this is not our stuff!" Ziqing said seriously.
"Ah? Yes, hurry up! Hurry up, Heizi, Brother Yuan!" Wang Wu patted his head and hurriedly carried the boxes to the car with Heizi. Zhou Yuan looked at Ai Ziqing deeply and quickly started to move them. He now believed that this woman was not simple. There must be a huge force behind her. Otherwise, how could she find these things? But he couldn't understand why he had to give them these things. They didn't seem to be worth anyone's trouble...
Several large boxes filled the car and the trunk. Several people barely sat down. Ziqing closed the canopy to block the view outside. It was agreed that Wang Wu and Heizi would drive to get the remaining things that couldn't be put in.
