Spy War 1929

Chapter 301 Big Temptation

Facing Lin Zirong, Zheng Hu made his own calculations in his heart based on the idea that a poor Taoist friend would never die a poor Taoist.

Zheng Hu was thinking about how to throw the difficult problem that the old man would raise next to Feng Laosan.

He was a little anxious, no matter what, he didn't want to let himself be involved in troublesome things that even the old man found troublesome.

Fourth master was holding a gold-rimmed teacup in his hand, quietly sipping his fragrant tea, not paying attention to the two of them at all.

He knew what Lin Zirong called Zheng Hu to say, and Lin Zirong called Zheng Hu after discussing it with him, so it didn't really matter whether he listened to what happened next.

Lin Zirong looked at the hideous scar on Zheng Hu's face, and gradually became fascinated by it.

Of course, he didn't think of Zheng Hu because of this scar, but because of this scar, he remembered the glorious years of his youth.

Who would hang around in Shanghai without a few scars?Zheng Hu was just unlucky, and was shaved on the face by a knife.

Seeing the old man staring at him without speaking for a long time, Zheng Hu felt more and more awkward.

What kind of look is that old man?Could it be that the thing to be done this time is close to death?
No, it must be pushed to Feng Laosan.

Zheng Hu made a firm decision in his heart.

After a long time, Lin Zirong finally regained consciousness from his memories. He looked at Zheng Hu and smiled, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"I have adopted ten adopted sons from you in this life. The most promising one is you, the eldest son, the second son, the third son, and the fourth son. Unfortunately, the second and fourth sons left early, and now only you and the third son are left. .” Lin Zirong had a smile on his face, but his tone was full of emotion that things were right and people were wrong.

Do not listen do not listen! ! !

Zheng Hu shouted loudly in his heart.

The more the old man talked about this, the more Zheng Hu decided that the old man must want him to do some important things this time, otherwise there is no need to play emotional cards with him, and he also talked about the past.

Lin Zirong didn't know what Zheng Hu was thinking, so he continued:
"Nowadays, the people in the gang are old, young, and stupid. Only you and the third child can take care of things."

Take care of things? !
I guessed right! ! !

Zheng Hu's eyelids were twitching.

What is the big trouble, the old man actually wants to take care of it by himself! !

Don't just stare at me, old man, there is also the third child!Don't forget about the third child! !

Zheng Hu knows that this is not the time to shoulder moral responsibility with a pair of iron shoulders.

If you really want to do this, you are afraid that you will be cheated to death by others without knowing it.

"Alas," Lin Zirong sighed suddenly as he spoke, shaking his head lightly.

No matter how powerful a person is, they are no match for the years.

Zheng Hu didn't know what was going on in Lin Zirong's mind, seeing Lin Zirong sigh, he just felt more and more guilty.

It's a pity that I didn't read the almanac when I went out today. If I look at it today, it's not a suitable day to go out!If he had known that coming to the old man's place would cause such trouble, he would just find an excuse and not come!
Just when Zheng Hu was getting more and more uncertain, Lin Zirong finally stopped sighing and told the real purpose of letting Zheng Hu come here today.

"The last time I went to the hospital, the doctor gave me the results of the examination, saying that I still have at most two years. Now, it's almost two months less than that time, but it's not even two years."

Zheng Hu was thinking wildly in his mind, when Lin Zirong suddenly spit out these words.Hearing these words suddenly, Zheng Hu's nerves seemed to be short-circuited.

What do you always say? ! !
Are you dying?This is really good... no, it's not good! !
Lin Zirong's words were like a bolt from the blue, which made Zheng Hu stunned immediately.

He looked at Lin Zirong, his eyes gradually changed from shock to complex, and at the same time there was still a faint suspicion in his eyes.

What does the old man mean by this?Could it be that he wants to use his failing health as an excuse to make a big cake for me, and then ask me to do something dangerous?
Zheng Hu seemed to be suffering from persecution paranoia, and he was always unwilling to think about things in a better way.

But Zheng Hu can't be blamed for this, it's really Lin Zirong's complexion, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he is dying.Relatively speaking, Zheng Hu was more willing to believe that the old man wanted to harm him.

After all, it's not that the old man has never done such immoral things.The second child and the third child died in a daze.Zheng Hu didn't want to step behind the two of them.He has become more and more cautious in doing things these years, so he has to guard against it.

"Father, this... how is this possible?! You are in the prime of your life now, did those quack doctors make a mistake! I will take someone to destroy that crappy hospital right now. I will bring you another doctor!"

Zheng Hu looked like a filial son and grandson, and said angrily, as if he was really upset by the words of those quack doctors.

Regardless of whether Zheng Hu's appearance is sincere or not, anyway, Lin Zirong, whose life has come to an end, looks happy in his heart.

"Okay, sit down, those doctors don't dare to fool me." Lin Zirong waved Zheng Hu to sit down, "I didn't believe it at first, but then I found other doctors, who had seen both Chinese and foreign doctors. The result is the same.”

Lin Zirong had a look-aside smile on his face.Regardless of whether he really saw Lai.In front of Zheng Hu, an adopted son, it was always impossible for him to act as miserable as he didn't want to die.

"Father, how did this happen? What's going on? You've always been fine, and you haven't seen any problems. Why did you suddenly become like this!" Zheng Hu said, eyes widening. turned red.

Lin Zirong looked at him and smiled, and said bitterly: "There was nothing wrong before, but now there is something wrong. Isn't it already too late!"

"This..." Zheng Hu was so sad that he couldn't speak.

What Lin Zirong said was so sincere, Zheng Hu couldn't tell for a while whether Lin Zirong was making a big deal for him, or the matter had really come to an end.

Zheng Hu looked at Fourth Master, who was holding the tea and sipping it in small sips, not paying attention to them at all.

The appearance of fourth master obviously knew about it a long time ago, but is this true or false? !
"Okay, old man, I have lived for more than 60 years, and I will be seventy in two years. How many people in this world can live to seventy, even the emperor rarely lives to seventy.

"Old man, I have used all the prestige that I should have played, and enjoyed all the blessings that I should have enjoyed. If you die, you will die, no loss!"

There was a bitter smile on the corner of Lin Zirong's mouth, he didn't know whether he was comforting himself or Zheng Hu.

"You kid, don't think you are younger than me, and you still have a lot of life. You might not be able to live to my age in the future!" Lin Zirong joked suddenly with a smile.

Zheng Huqiang smiled and said, "What the foster father said is true."

Seeing Zheng Hu like this, Lin Zirong shook his head, feeling extremely bored.

"Don't talk about these useless things. Let's talk about the business. You have been with me for so many years, you have worked hard and made great achievements. Now is the time to give you an explanation."

Hearing this, Zheng Hu's heart skipped a beat.

"Because I'm still in charge now, it's time to finalize the matter of the heir to the lord."

Zheng Hu was silent when he heard the words, he had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

"The position of the gang leader does not represent power, but also responsibility. There are at least tens of thousands of people in the Ax Gang. If you count the people on the periphery, there may be more than 2 to [-]. If you count these people The family members, I'm afraid there are only a few hundred thousand.

"Sitting on the position of the leader, the power is given by those brothers. If you hold the power they give you, you have to be responsible to them. Tens of thousands of people point to the leader for dinner. So the position of the leader seems very comfortable, but really Only when you sit on it will you know that’s not the case.”

Lin Zirong talked about his experience, of course, his words were exaggerated.Although the position of the gang leader is responsible, it is far less exaggerated than what he said.

They belonged to the gangsters, and they were not farming or doing business. Even if they wanted to eat, it was relatively easy.

When the topic touched on the successor of the gang leader, Zheng Hu became even more cautious, like a dumb man, determined not to speak if he could.

He remembered what his daughter-in-law had said, and he was not so talkative, and sometimes it was easy to say the wrong thing.When you don't know what to say, try not to speak.

It is not necessarily right to say it, but it is probably not wrong if you don't say it.

When Zheng Hu didn't talk to him, Lin Zirong said it himself.

"Nowadays, the only ones in the gang who can bear the burden of being the leader of the gang are you and the third child. However, the third child is too ruthless, ruthless to outsiders, and ruthless to his own people. The old brothers who fight the world will have a hard time in the future. I am afraid they will not agree to let the third child take my place.

"You are different from the third child. You value love and loyalty. I can rest assured that I will give you the position of leader. Those old brothers should not have any opinions. I have also discussed with the master, and I think you are more suitable than the third child."

Hearing this, Zheng Hu looked at Fourth Master, who was still holding his gold-rimmed teacup, as if he had forgotten about the outside world and was completely immersed in his own world.

"I called you here today just to see what you think. The position of the leader is not an easy job. If you want to take it, you must be prepared to take responsibility.

"Now the domestic situation is unclear. The National Party is in its prime, but the National Party is severely divided and has many factions. Moreover, the officials of the National Party really don't seem to be able to accomplish things.

"In the northwest, the Red Party has risen again, and the Nationalist Party has failed to wipe it out several times. I think the two parties will have a big battle sooner or later. It's hard to say who will be in charge of this world in the future!
"In Shanghai, Gu Zhufeng is alright. He has no competition with us now. But Feng Jingyao is different. We are eyeing Feng Jingyao's territory, and Feng Jingyao is also eyeing our territory. I am alright, Feng Jingyao dare not act rashly. But in the future If you take over the position of gang leader, I'm worried that you won't be the opponent of Feng Jingyao, that old fox.

"And that Chen Ledao is not easy to deal with. If the two of them work together, I'm afraid our Ax Gang will be even more difficult to deal with. Fortunately, that kid is not small in ambition, and he will not be willing to submit to Feng Jingyao's subordinates. I am stable now If we stop him, he probably won't really start a fight with us until he doesn't have enough strength.

"But if you want to take the position of the leader of the gang, you need to consider these things. And people have no long-term worries, but short-term worries.

"Let's not talk about the outside world, let's talk about the inside of the gang. If you want to take the position of gang leader, the first thing you have to deal with is the third one. He can't just give you the gang leader.

"If you want to be a gang leader, then these are all things you need to face and solve. I have explained all the problems to you clearly. Now I want to know your thoughts. Do you want to sit in the position of gang leader? If you want to, are you sure you can sit in this position?"

How to do how to do? ! !
After hearing these words, Zheng Hu faintly sweated on his forehead, and his heart beat uncontrollably.Faced with Lin Zirong's detailed explanations and questions, he didn't know how to answer them for a moment.

Chief, this is something their brothers have been planning, of course he thought about it!

but! !
Is the old man trying to paint a big cake for me? !
If I said that I wanted to be the gang leader, would the old man immediately throw out difficult questions, using the excuse of testing me.

Then should I pick it up or not? !

Zheng Hu was caught in a brainstorm.

Lin Zirong looked at the hesitant Zheng Hu, and said lightly: "The Ax Gang is my life's painstaking effort. I hope that the person who takes my place is a capable person. If you want to take this position, then I need to see you." Ability."

Hearing this, Zheng Hu looked up at Lin Zirong's unwavering face, gritted his teeth, and knelt down and said:

"Father, you said that the leader not only represents power, but also responsibility. I am willing to give it a try and shoulder this burden for my father, and I will never let my father's life's hard work go to waste." Zheng Hu said firmly.

I have worked so hard for so long, just for the position of the lord.Now that the opportunity is here, it is really not to be missed.

Even if this is really a big pie drawn by the old man, Zheng Hu recognized it.

If you don't even dare to take this risk, then what's the point of being a gang leader?The position of leader is not for the weak.

Lin Zirong looked at Zheng Hu's decisive appearance, with a little smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded slightly.

Resolute enough and courageous.

Fourth Master glanced at Zheng Hu who was kneeling on the ground from the corner of his eye, then retracted it, and continued to sip his tea.As if they don't know anything.

"Okay. It's good if you have this determination. But I have to tell you first, although I prefer you to take my place, but I won't show up at the third place, and you need to figure it out yourself.

"You are all my adopted sons, and I will not favor any of you.

"This is a test for you. If you can handle the third place, then the position of the gang leader is yours. If you can't handle it, let the third brother handle it. Then the position of the gang leader is his.

"In today's situation, the Ax Gang doesn't need a sheep to be its leader, but a wolf. The Ax Gang is like a pack of wolves. What they need is a wolf who can lead them to eat meat!"

Lin Zirong looked at Zheng Hu who was kneeling, and he was already partial to Zheng Hu by saying what he said to Zheng Hu today.

No matter who becomes the gang leader, Lin Zirong doesn't want the Ax Gang to be divided after him.What he wants to pass on is a complete ax gang.

Now that Zheng Hu has already grasped the opportunity, if this is the case, he still can't handle the third child.Then Lin Zirong could only consider passing on the position of gang leader to Feng Wenhong.

Even if he wants to be selfish, he still has to choose a qualified successor for himself, or for the Ax Gang.

Choose a fool, and he will be the one who will be laughed at in the end.

"Yes, father-in-law, I will take care of the third child!" Zheng Hu said loudly, and he was willing to go all out.

And Zheng Hu has already seen that the old man is not trying to trick himself.

Perhaps the old man is really near the end of his life, and he is in a hurry to choose a successor!
Give it a go!
