Chapter 408

(PS: This chapter only features Gong Wei)

——————

Downstairs at the Five Star Group,

"You've come!"

"It's you!"

Xiao Fu and Gong Wei looked at each other, as if "having looked at you once in the crowd, I could never forget you again."

A natural sense of closeness.

Xiao Fu and Li Jie actually didn't have this sense of closeness; Li Jie didn't come from a poor background and had served as a commander, possessing a certain aura.

Xiao Fu grew up on the loess plateau, simple and honest, very much like Gong Wei.

So the moment they met, they felt that in the dark, it was meant to be.

Gong Wei asked the question in his heart: "I don't understand, why would you take a liking to me?"

Xiao Fu: "I think you're a capable fighter, and Brother Zu thinks you're a person with good character, so we wanted to invite you."

Gong Wei: "But I haven't even met your boss."

Xiao Fu smiled: "No, you've already met. That time a few days ago when you were having lunch in Causeway Bay..."

That time at the Chaoshan fish ball noodle shop, Gong Wei had his back to the door, and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu recognized Gong Wei through his back from Xiao Hei.

Gong Wei: "I..."

He still had a thousand questions, and besides, why could the other party quickly find his hometown? He was an undercover agent, and all information was kept confidential.

"Let's go... first, let's test your strength. Let me tell you first, those with poor strength can't enter the gates of the Five Star Group."

"No, no, I want to go back to the capital..."

"Don't be in such a hurry..."

Xiao Fu pulled Gong Wei and walked into the Five Star building.

They headed straight for the gym behind the first floor.

Many people had already gathered here.

Gao Jin, Li Jie, Abu, Gao Gang, Da Tou, and the 14-year-old Gui Yan.

In addition, there were Li Changjiang, Laughing... and others, as well as a group of Hong Xing lackeys.

Gong Wei saw Gao Gang and was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this the expert he met in Central?

He turned out to be from the Five Star Group.

"Now, welcome Brother Gong Wei..."

Xiao Fu jumped onto the ring and beckoned to Gong Wei:

"Come up..."

"Let's have a match!"

Gong Wei took a deep breath, knowing this was the time to show himself, and jumped onto the ring.

"Brothers, I brought him here, let me have the first go, no problem, right?"

Xiao Fu said to the four people: Gao Jin, Abu, Li Jie, and Gao Gang.

They often sparred internally and had nothing fresh left, so with a new expert here, they were naturally itching for a fight, looking at Gong Wei with eagerness.

Gao Jin and the others: "Fine, you go first."

On the ring,

Xiao Fu and Gong Wei stood in confrontation.

On the ring, the lights were as bright as day, illuminating the figures of Xiao Fu and Gong Wei with exceptional clarity.

"Boom~~~"

Xiao Fu made the first move, stepping out, closing in on Gong Wei like a ghost, his right fist wrapped in the sound of whistling wind, striking straight at Gong Wei's face.

This punch looked tricky in angle and was extremely fast.

Gong Wei's eyes sharpened, his head tilted slightly, avoiding this fierce strike by a hair's breadth, his right hand blocked, while his left leg quickly bent and lifted, slamming fiercely toward Xiao Fu's abdomen.

Xiao Fu's reaction was also extremely fast; his left arm sank quickly, blocking Gong Wei's knee strike, and the collision between his arm and knee made a dull sound.

Immediately after, Xiao Fu jumped back, creating some distance. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he exerted force, and his whole body rushed toward Gong Wei again like an arrow from a bow. This time, he threw both fists, swish, swish, swish~~~ creating afterimages in the air, dazzling to the eye, attacking Gong Wei's temple and chest respectively.

Gong Wei leaned back rapidly; Xiao Fu's fists whistled past his nose and chest. His waist exerted force, his body sprang up like a spring, and he swept a leg, cutting horizontally toward Xiao Fu's neck with the force of breaking wind.

Xiao Fu sensed the danger approaching and subconsciously retracted his neck. Before Gong Wei could retract his move, Xiao Fu seized the opportunity to grab Gong Wei's ankle and pulled hard, attempting to disrupt Gong Wei's center of gravity.

How could Gong Wei be easily subdued? The ankle being pulled suddenly broke free from Xiao Fu's restraint, his leg retreated, and at the same time, his left hand reached out like lightning.

Xiao Fu threw a palm, accurately grasping Gong Wei's incoming fist. The two began to exert force, veins bulging on their arms, muscles tense, neither giving way.

Xiao Fu suddenly kicked out.

Bang, bang, bang~~~

The two separated again, then rushed together again, entangled in a fight.

The speed of their moves was extremely fast, bang, bang, bang~~~ back and forth incessantly.

Everyone off the ring watched with boiling blood.

Gao Jin, Li Jie, and the others didn't blink, afraid of missing any exciting moment.

Sure enough, he is an expert!

They were extremely excited, as they could have one more opponent to fight.

And the Hong Xing lackeys were all shouting and cheering at the top of their lungs, extremely excited.

At this time, Gong Wei and Xiao Fu kicked each other away, and both sides retreated several steps.

Xiao Fu panted heavily and laughed loudly: "Satisfying, come again!"

Gong Wei's eyes were also like torches, his gaze excited.

Satisfying!

Being able to meet an opponent is a great stroke of luck.

Didn't expect to meet one here... no, it should be several.

This Five Star Group is a bit outrageous.

Both sides readjusted their postures, ready to welcome a new round of fighting.

The two rushed toward each other again, fists and feet adding up. For a time, on the ring, fist shadows crossed, leg winds whistled, and they were inseparable.

Xiao Fu, relying on his agile, varied, and unexpected fighting style, constantly looked for flaws in Gong Wei's defense;

Gong Wei relied on solid military fighting techniques, responding steadily, parrying every move.

After dozens of rounds, both of them were bruised; Xiao Fu had a bruise on the corner of his mouth, and Gong Wei's clothes were also torn in several places, but their eyes remained firm, without the slightest intention of retreating.

Finally, with a fierce exchange of punches, both retreated a few steps, leaning against the ring ropes, their chests heaving violently, sweat falling like rain.

"Good!"

"Enjoyable!!"

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the crowd below.

"Rest a bit..."

"My turn."

"My name is Gao Jin, call me Brother Jin from now on."

Gao Jin walked onto the stage, eager to try, as opponents were rare.

After more than ten minutes, Gong Wei had recovered seven or eight percent and drank some water.

"Come!"

Gong Wei also felt all the cells in his body excited; he hadn't had this feeling for a long time.

Bang, bang, bang~~~~

As soon as Gong Wei engaged, he felt that the Gao Jin in front of him was a different style; extreme danger was hidden beneath a pleasing appearance, like a poisonous snake, every move was extremely flexible, and it was hard to distinguish between real and fake.

He took a punch and immediately retreated several steps, grimacing, it was a bit painful.

Soon,

The two sides ended the half-act, and Gong Wei felt his physical strength couldn't keep up.

Gao Jin's cold face revealed a smile: "Not bad, it's a pity your physical strength didn't keep up. If you have time tomorrow, let's have a satisfying fight."

Another 20 minutes passed, and Abu had a fight with Gong Wei.

Gong Wei felt that this Abu's strength was even more outrageous, feeling like he was born with divine power, but his moves were simpler than Gao Jin and Xiao Fu's, not as flexible, but that strength gave him a bit of a headache.

Next,

It was Li Jie... then Gao Gang...

Half an hour later,

It was over.

Gong Wei felt that if he were really one-on-one, he wouldn't be sure about Xiao Fu, Gao Jin, Abu, or Li Jie, and could only win against Gao Gang.

Outrageous, there are really many experts.

Then he was excited. "Let's go!"

"Go see our boss, Brother Zu!"

Xiao Fu pulled Gong Wei upstairs.

"I'm covered in sweat, isn't that good?" Gong Wei wanted to see Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, but now he was a bit reserved.

"It's fine, Brother Zu won't blame you."

Just like that, Gong Wei was pulled by Xiao Fu to take the elevator to the top floor, passed the secretary's office, and knocked on the door.

"Brother Zu!"

"Come in!"

Gong Wei followed Xiao Fu into Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's office, looking at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, who was sitting at the desk working, for the first time.

Dignified, handsome, sunny, with a warmth in his smile that could touch people's hearts.

Please... you... collect_(!)

More concrete than the image on TV.

Wu Lianqian was reporting to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu about the year-end bonus.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Since the calculation results from the finance department are fine, then this year, let's issue the year-end bonus based on 5 months' salary."

Wu Lianqian: "Okay."

Her heart was surging.

5 months, nearly 500 million in expenditure, and he just said it like that.

Long live Brother Zu!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "By the way, the news can be spread... Today is December 31st, tonight is the New Year's Eve, let the employees be happy..."

Wu Lianqian nodded heavily: "Yes, Brother Zu!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Also, for the holiday allowance, today everyone gets 100, have a happy New Year's Day!"

Wu Lianqian: "Thank you, Brother Zu!"

Wu Lianqian left happily.

After Wu Lianqian left,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu officially turned his gaze to Gong Wei, and a smile like the warm sun of spring instantly bloomed on his face.

"You've come... sit!"

He stood up and invited Gong Wei to sit on the sofa.

Gong Wei was originally a bit reserved, but seeing Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu so enthusiastic, he felt relieved in his heart.

"Brother Zu, I've always had a question in my heart, how did you know about my family's situation?"

Gong Wei sat down and couldn't help but ask the thing he wanted to ask most.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu chuckled: "It was your partner, Xiao Hei. I had someone follow him, and then I heard him talking on the phone with his boss. Although it was only a few words, it mentioned your situation, and I took it to heart at the time. Later, I specifically entrusted people in the capital to inquire about it carefully, and it didn't take much effort to figure out your background clearly."

Gong Wei heard this, so that's how it was.

He immediately felt relieved.

All doubts vanished.

Gong Wei: "My wife's medical expenses..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu revealed a warm smile: "Learning that your wife was ill, yet you still ran here alone to carry out the mission, I thought at the time, if something happened to your wife, wouldn't you live in regret for the rest of your life..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu didn't want to see this regret.

Moreover, Gong Wei's wife was indeed great, and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu would help as much as he could.

"So, I sent Xiao Fu over to send money to your wife..."

Hearing this, Gong Wei's heart trembled violently, as if a warm current rushed straight into the bottom of his heart, and his eyes instantly became moist.

He thought of himself leaving his hometown to carry out missions in this strange Hong Kong, abandoning his seriously ill wife and 10-year-old son, with many hardships that no one could tell.

And the person in front of him, Mr. Guan, whom he hadn't really met or talked to, seemed to be able to see through all his difficulties, not only trusting him without reservation but also sending people thousands of miles away to send money to save his wife.

This kindness of knowing and meeting was like a heavy mountain, making his nose ache and his throat choke.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu chuckled at this time: "With me, brothers are family. If anyone's family encounters difficulties, I will help. Your wife is not in good health, so helping out and giving some money is the most natural thing."

Gong Wei heard this and was moved: "But this amount is really too large, a full 60,000..."

He couldn't earn this 60,000 in his whole life!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu patted Gong Wei's shoulder: "A mere 60,000, being able to save your wife, what does that count as..."

At this moment,

Gong Wei couldn't help but shed tears.

A man doesn't shed tears easily.

Since his wife became seriously ill, he was useless and couldn't earn money, causing his wife to not even have money for injections, making her condition constantly worsen.

No one had ever cared about him like this.

"Mr. Guan..."

"No need to call me Mr. Guan... You can call me Brother Zu, just like Xiao Fu and the others."

A subtle invitation.

Gong Wei raised his head, his eyes red, looking at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

At this moment, Gong Wei felt that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was glowing!

"Mr. Guan... do you trust me so much? I've only met you for the first time..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "I, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, have never misjudged a person..."

Gong Wei met Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's gaze; Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's gaze was as sincere as the brightest star in the night sky, and his smile was like the warm sun in the winter cold, making people feel warm.

Gong Wei gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great determination, and whispered: "Brother Zu, but... I have something to confess to you. The bomb at HSBC was placed by me. I actually... count as a criminal."

After speaking, he lowered his head, his face full of shame.

"Haha~~~" Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu laughed: "I already knew about this."

"Ah?" Gong Wei's mouth opened slightly, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"My people have been following you for a long time, so naturally, I knew the bomb at HSBC was placed by you. Let me tell you another piece of news." Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled and held up a finger, "Actually, for the operation last night, the clues about those violent bandits were all provided to the police by our Five Star Group, and I specifically didn't let the police know about your and Xiao Hei's side."

Gong Wei only felt a "buzz" in his head, and his heart was like a stormy sea. He never expected that everything was under Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's control.

Gong Wei thought of Xiao Hei again, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "But Xiao Hei, he is a criminal..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu asked back: "Do you want the police to catch him?"

In Gong Wei's mind, the scene of Xiao Hei giving things to his son in the capital instantly appeared, as well as Xiao Hei's many cares for him on weekdays. For a moment, he fell into a dilemma.

Xiao Hei, in the original plot, was not unforgivable. Even if he died, he didn't reveal Gong Wei's location to Pu Guang, protecting Gong Wei.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu didn't hate him.

Don't forget, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is not a purely white person; he has his own preferences.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at Gong Wei: "If you don't want to report him, you can let him go. If he continues to do evil in the future, he might come to find you again, and it won't be too late to catch him then; if he can turn over a new leaf and stop now, it can be considered giving him a chance to be a new person..."

Gong Wei listened carefully and felt that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's words were reasonable, and he also felt relieved.

He nodded heavily, his eyes full of gratitude.

But in an instant, Gong Wei's face showed worry again: "But my wife... if I come to Hong Kong, what will she do?"

"Haha~~~"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu laughed: "Isn't that simple? Can't she just get treatment in Hong Kong? Hong Kong has Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and the technology is no worse than the capital's... Your wife's illness can be treated in Hong Kong."

"I have a hospital under my banner that gathers many top experts in the industry. I will have them organize a consultation for your wife so she can recover soon."

"Don't worry, from now on, you and I are family, and your wife is naturally family too. I, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, will arrange everything properly."

"And your son, when the time comes for middle school and university, everything will be arranged properly!"

Brother Zu, everything has been considered!

This kindness cannot be repaid.

At this very moment, Gong Wei could no longer suppress the surging emotion in his heart.

He stood up with a "whoosh," his knees bent, about to kneel down.

"Thank you, Brother Zu!"

"From now on, I will go through fire and water, and I will not refuse!"

With tears in his eyes, his words were resonant!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu held Gong Wei up, his smile warm:

"We are all family from now on, no need for this!"

"Tonight is the New Year's Eve, let's spend it together!"
