20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 140 Sister-in-law
Second brother is dead?

When Zhao Guoyan heard this, he immediately stayed where he was.

In fact, he already had an ominous premonition when he saw Guan Wei and Gong Baonan arriving during the fight with Jiang Xiaodao last night.

The fact that Lao Liu and Lao Qi were still alive and came all the way to support Xiaodao meant that the plan to attack Jiangzhai at night had failed. Zhao Guoyan just didn't expect that his second brother would be defeated so completely and lost his life.

The dock he relied on collapsed. Zhao Guoyan seemed to have lost his backbone in an instant, and his expression became confused.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaodao suddenly said, "We are both doing secret work. Are you willing to follow me?"

But Zhao Guoyan didn't know whether he didn't hear it or was in a daze. He just murmured to himself: "It would be great if I went with my second brother last night!"

"Hey! You really think highly of yourself, you can brag better than me!" Jiang Xiaodao opened his mouth and poured a basin of cold water on it, "You think you can change anything if you go? One more of you is not more, one less of you is not more, You might be okay with shooting, but when it comes to playing with guns, you're not as good as me!"

Zhao Guoyan remained silent.

Jiang Xiaodao asked again: "I am short of manpower now. Are you willing to follow me?"

"Who do you think you are?" Zhao Guoyan sneered and asked, "Why should I follow you?"

"Just because you have entered a dead end." Jiang Xiaodao counted on his fingers, "You rebelled against Chen Wantang and attacked my father. Although you did not participate, my uncles did not care about this and planned to I’m using you to vent my anger!”

Jiang Xiaodao opened his second finger and continued: "You are just a 'fire general'. Han Ce is taking over 'Heshengfang' now. Zhou Yunfu's men are watching the game, whether you are there or not, and the business of the gambling house is not affected by you." It can be transferred, and you have killed Han Ce’s men.”

As he spoke, he opened the third finger and said: "If I guess correctly, you shot and wounded Shopkeeper Feng of the tailor shop the year before last. That was my aunt and senior sister's man - brother, In the Zhou family, you have offended everyone you can!"

It's okay not to count them in detail. When Jingjiang Xiaodao said this, Zhao Guoyan himself was stunned for a moment.

It turned out that he had unknowingly offended "Hai Lao Owl", "Chuan'er Hong" and Han Ce, and had no place to stand under Zhou Yunfu's influence.

At the same time, since he is Chen Wantang's subordinate, he is naturally not tolerated by the Su family.

The only possible place to go is the Bai family.

However, Bai Baochen is already a lackey of the Japs. Is it possible that he has to be a lackey of the Japs?
"Besides, Chen Wantang is already dead. Who else are you going to show your loyalty to?" Jiang Xiaodao continued, "We both did similar jobs before. If you are willing to follow me, I can guarantee that my father and the others will be able to show their loyalty to you." I’ll spare your life, how about that?”

Zhao Guoyan smiled. A person of similar age to himself, with no qualifications, no influence, and no connections. It was just a matter of being a prostitute, but the other party actually wanted him to be a prostitute of the dock?

"Then why don't I just go to 'Owl'? Why do I have to go to you?"

"Are you qualified?"

This time, it was Jiang Xiaodao who sneered: "Let's not talk about Chen Wantang's betrayal. Do you know who my uncles are, huh? They defected to 'Ebi Owl'? Do you know how many people wanted to defect to him before? My father? Even if you are qualified, can my uncles tolerate you? "

Although Zhao Guoyan agreed with these words, it was not enough to impress him.

"I'm not qualified to defect to 'Owl', but what about you? What qualifications do you have to ask me to defect to you?"

Jiang Xiaodao did not argue, and it seemed that he had nothing to argue with.

Nowadays, he really does not have any qualifications to be a "pier". It is enough to recruit a few little beggars. If he really meets a master with some ability, he will not be able to convince people to work for him.

"As you please!"

Jiang Xiaodao stood up and dusted off his clothes, seemingly acquiescing to Zhao Guoyan's statement.

However, when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned his face sideways.

"Brother, don't forget, I gave you your life last night! I don't know if this counts as qualification."

After saying that, Jiang Xiaodao walked out of the warehouse and locked the door.

The light in the room suddenly dimmed, and only a ray of light passed through the crack of the door and hit Zhao Guoyan's face.

The pain of his broken finger suddenly woke him up - indeed, Jiang Xiaodao had at least two chances to kill him last night, all he had to do was pull the trigger. Counting Guan Wei's time, that was three times.

If he chooses to defect to Jiang Xiaodao now, it will be the fourth time...

No matter what the other party's purpose is in saving him, it is a fact that he is saved. This is a fact that cannot be avoided, let alone denied.

Zhao Guoyan's mind began to waver.

But he didn't know that whether he was willing to defect or not was not important to Jiang Xiaodao.

In fact, this had always been Hu Xiaoyan's idea. She hoped that An Tangkou would have a competent helper as soon as possible.

Otherwise, given Jiang Xiaodao's temper, Zhao Guoyan would have been dead from the moment he confirmed that Zhao Guoyan did not know about the inner ghost...

……

……

Late at night, there was a "crunching" sound of wooden wheels outside the house.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the door lock being removed.

After a while, the door opened, and a ray of light shone in. Someone walked up to him, put down two bowls on the ground, and then left quickly.There are steamed buns and soup in two bowls.

Although the light was not strong, Zhao Guoyan opened his eyes against the light, but his vision was still tight. He could only see a blurry silhouette. Judging from the shape, it seemed that someone was sitting at the door.

It wasn't until his eyes adapted to the current light that Zhao Guoyan could see clearly - it was a woman sitting in a wheelchair. Her appearance was not beautiful, but she was very dignified.

Behind the woman, there was a teenage maid standing, who looked very well-behaved and sensible.

"who are you?"

"Taoist." Hu Xiaoyan responded coldly.

"His wife?"

Hu Xiaoyan did not speak, but nodded slightly as an answer.

Zhao Guoyan immediately lost interest, still lying on the ground minding his own business, and said lazily: "Take the things away, I don't want to eat. I really don't know anything, just ask him to give me a quick meal!"

Hu Xiaoyan ignored this and asked directly: "Why don't you want to follow the trail?"

"Ok?"

When Zhao Guoyan heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Wait a minute, did I hear it correctly? That boy actually sent a girl over to persuade him to surrender? It's really hopeless, right?"

Hu Xiaoyan was not in a hurry to argue, but listened patiently to Zhao Guoyan's smile.

It wasn't until the other party was laughing so dull that she corrected him: "It's me who wants to persuade you to surrender, not him. Otherwise, you wouldn't be alive now. You just need to tell me why you don't want to work with him." .”

The questions are direct and the tone is calm.

The visitor is not good.

Zhao Guoyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said seriously: "What qualifications does he have to open a Shanlicai and make me work for him?"

Hu Xiaoyan was neither arrogant nor impatient, neither anxious nor annoyed, and said calmly: "He will have it."

But the more serious she was, the more funny Zhao Guoyan found it.

"Don't be ridiculous, why does it exist? Do you know what it means to open a mountain cabinet? You are just like that kid, you are living in your own fucking dream."

"You don't believe it?" Hu Xiaoyan asked.

"Of course I don't believe it!"

Zhao Guoyan raised his head and then said what many people in the Fengtian arena wanted to say but dared not say.

"He just had a good fortune. I don't know where he got lucky. He happened to fall into the eyes of the 'Owl' and was recognized as his son. Other than that, who is he? Huh? I am different from him. I worked it out step by step on my own, why should I admire someone like him?"

The more Zhao Guoyan talked, the more excited he became, as if something in his heart had been touched.

"Who is he without his father? 'Owl' is already old! Believe it or not, once 'Owl' dies, he won't be able to survive in Fengtian for a month, and no one in the world will look at him seriously! "

"So that's why?" Hu Xiaoyan listened silently, and then asked, "Are you done?"

"I'm not done yet!" Zhao Guoyan continued, "If I had his backer, I would have gotten out of here a long time ago, and would I be like him, and now I can only hide under my father's wings and flutter? What, Do you dare not to admit that he is where he is today all because of his father, 'Owl'?"

"Have you finished talking this time?" Hu Xiaoyan nodded, but said surprisingly, "You are right, he is where he is today all because of the 'Owl'. So, what do you want to say? Continue to complain. ?”

Zhao Guoyan was stunned for a moment and wanted to refute, but suddenly felt something stuck in his throat.

Seeing that he didn't move, Hu Xiaoyan added, "If you want to complain, feel free to do whatever you want. I won't stop you. I'll just think that I've made a mistake."

After saying that, she asked Xiaohua to push the wheelchair forward.

Only then did Zhao Guoyan notice that there was nothing underneath Hu Xiaoyan's skirt.

Although the other party did not emphasize anything deliberately, Zhao Guoyan suddenly felt extremely ashamed.

"I want to find him a helper as soon as possible, but I can only buy you three days." Hu Xiaoyan said lightly, "After three days, if you still don't agree, I will kill you even if he doesn't. you."

Originally, Zhao Guoyan listened quite seriously, but the second half of his sentence made him really laugh.

"Hahahaha! Are you going to kill me? A woman! It's true that we are not part of the same family. If we don't enter the same family, each one will be better than the other!"

"Yeah, you can try it." Hu Xiaoyan's eyes were indifferent, seeming even colder than Jiang Xiaodao.

At this time, Xiaohua leaned forward and said softly and respectfully: "Young mistress, do you want to go back to the house?"

Hu Xiaoyan nodded, but her eyes were still staring at Zhao Guoyan, motionless.

The wooden wheelchair creaked as usual, and the two door panels gradually moved closer. When the last gap was left, those eyes were still fixed on Zhao Guoyan and left his last words.

"Don't forget, three days!"
