Chapter 184: My Last Time

At nine o'clock in the evening, Sanshui drove his car into a family compound and stopped under a unit building.

He hugged the girl in the car and was intimate for a while before letting her get out of the car to say goodbye.

This was Sanshui's newly met "object." Originally, she was just a poor girl who was clear with money, but after going back and forth, Sanshui was completely fascinated.

In that dirt-clod place of Qingshui County, where had he ever seen such a flavorful woman? Sometimes Sanshui would have thoughts about whether he should really marry her home as a wife.

Recalling the taste in his mouth, Sanshui turned on the car stereo and turned the car around with a bounce.

But just as he turned the car around, he saw someone rushing over in the glare of the headlights—it was Ergou, whom he hadn't seen for two days.

Startled, Sanshui opened his mouth and cursed: "Ergou, are you crazy? Running into the front of the car in the middle of the night? If you don't want to live, go jump into the Pearl River yourself; my car doesn't get stained with blood."

Ergou didn't talk back, carried a backpack, and got into Sanshui's car, then lowered his head and said: "Brother Sanshui, Brother Peng kicked me out. I'll stay at your place for two days."

"What are you doing at my place?"

Sanshui subconsciously refused, but then smiled and glanced at the "dejected" Ergou.

"Ergou, you honest kid, why were you kicked out by Brother Peng too?"

"Isn't it because of you?" Ergou said without raising his head: "Brother Peng told me to find you and bring you back no matter what. If I can't find you, I should die outside... Are you willing to go back with me?"

"Go back my ass!"

Sanshui shifted gears and drove out with a step on the gas pedal.

After driving for a distance, Sanshui turned off the car stereo and glanced at the "dejected" Ergou with a smile.

"Ergou, if I don't go back for the rest of my life, you really won't go back to Brother Peng's place?"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Ergou huddled in the car seat and said pitifully: "Brother Peng scolded me for knowing but not reporting, but I didn't know you were smuggling at the time? You just cared about making big money yourself, but you implicated me too."

"What smuggling, that sounds so ugly," Sanshui said shamelessly: "That's called special channel import, filling the domestic gap. Thirty yuan for an electronic watch is cheaper than a mechanical watch for over a hundred... I'm also benefiting the people!"

Ergou shifted his butt and muttered gloomily: "Then your motorcycle is still sold for three or four thousand! More expensive than the Xingfu 250, and it's an old car..."

"But my old car is better than a new car! Those are all chrysanthemum brand names, Yamaha, Honda..."

Sanshui retorted to Ergou and then said: "Alright, alright, isn't it just because I didn't sell it to you cheaply back then? I'll give you one tomorrow, okay?"

Ergou raised his head and looked at Sanshui in surprise, obviously not believing it.

Sanshui is a shrewd person, brothers settle accounts clearly, why is he so generous today?

Sure enough, Sanshui continued: "Ergou, since Brother Peng dislikes you now, I might as well point you to a bright path."

Ergou squeezed his backpack and asked: "What bright path?"

"Work with me," Sanshui said while tapping the steering wheel with his fingers: "After this fuss, I definitely won't be trusted anymore, but after Brother Peng leaves, you will definitely still be in charge of the Yangcheng wholesale department."

"When the time comes, we will cooperate. You send my goods to Dongshan Railway Station. Once you send it, I'll give you a thousand yuan."

"."

Ergou pondered for a long time and asked puzzledly: "Then why didn't you do this before?"

Sanshui looked at Ergou as if he were a fool and said hatefully: "That's because you were an eyesore there!"

"That Hao Jian made us supervise each other, and you were like a dog supervising me, making me spend a lot of money to find people to bring goods every time..."

Ergou stared at Sanshui for a few seconds and quickly lowered his head. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back and would give Sanshui two punches right now.

The little bit of guilt that remained in his heart quickly dissipated with the wind.

Sanshui saw Ergou's appearance and felt he had spoken out of turn, so he comforted him: "Alright, that's all in the past. In the future, follow me, and I guarantee you'll buy a car in a year, a car like this..."

"Look, Toyota brand, better than the car of the boss of our Qingshui County. Think about it, if you have such a car, are you still worried about not having a wife?"

Sanshui slapped the steering wheel with a bang, not to mention how proud he was.

"Is smuggling so profitable?" Ergou said gloomily: "Isn't this car borrowed from that Boss Zhang?"

"You believe that kind of talk?" Sanshui mocked: "Let me tell you! Now that I, Brother Sanshui, return to my hometown, I would even find the village cadres' fingers too thick if they offered to tie my shoes."

"."

Sanshui drove the car left and right and drove into a courtyard in the old city.

"Thump~"

When Ergou got out of the car, the backpack he was carrying bumped into the car door, making a muffled sound.

Sanshui asked suspiciously: "Ergou, what are you carrying in your bag?"

Ergou opened his backpack and took out two bottles of wine, a roast goose, and two bags of braised food.

"I was kicked out by Brother Peng today, not to mention not having an introduction letter, I didn't even eat. But after buying wine and food, I couldn't eat it no matter what."

"Later, I remembered you told me that Xia Xia lived in HP District. Brother Sanshui, why don't you live with Xia Xia anymore?"

"What do you know?" Sanshui snatched the roast goose and took a bite: "This is called a cunning rabbit having three burrows; otherwise, Brother Peng wouldn't have caught me back long ago?"

"Right, this place is indeed hard to find."

The two entered the room. Ergou looked around casually and found some motorcycle parts and several televisions.

"Brother Sanshui, are you smuggling televisions now?"

"Told you it's not called smuggling," Sanshui sprayed Ergou and then said irritably: "These few are broken. They encountered wind and waves when coming by water and got water in them. They have to be repaired before they can be sold."

"Oh~"

Ergou responded and started drinking with Sanshui.

Sanshui probably did too much intense exercise, so he was hungry and came over to drink with Ergou.

Sanshui's drinking capacity wasn't as good as Ergou's, and he fell asleep on the sofa halfway through.

In his dream, he really became a big boss. Whether it was Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, Hao Jian, or that Li Ye, whom he wanted to punch in the face as soon as he saw him, they all came to tie his shoes diligently.

And Sanshui also married a wife and had a son, and the son looked really good, but he didn't look like him at all...

"Pfft~"

Cold water suddenly splashed on Sanshui's face, completely ruining his good dream.

"Is it leaking rain?"

Sanshui looked up at the roof, only feeling the bright electric light on the ceiling was dazzling.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes to adapt, but opened them immediately.

Because there were many people sitting in the room.

Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, Hao Jian, Wang Jianqiang, Zou Zhiguo, and several young men he didn't know, all with sharp eyes.

Sanshui turned his head blankly and looked at Ergou.

Ergou looked at Sanshui, then avoided his gaze with disdain.

Sanshui understood everything.

"Hehehehe~"

"Boss Zhang was right; the most untrustworthy thing in this world is damn brotherhood."

Sanshui mocked and ridiculed, then smiled at Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng: "Brother Peng, I hid from seeing you to take care of the friendship between us."

"Actually, if you really want to see me, just let Ergou tell me, I guarantee I'll deliver myself to your door, no need to use these means."

Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng looked at Sanshui with a complex expression, and after a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Sanshui, listen to my advice and surrender!"

"You are a first-time offender. We'll find a way, and you'll come out after a year or so. As long as I, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, have a bite to eat, I won't let you starve."

"."

Sanshui opened his eyes wide, looking at Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng in disbelief.

Based on his understanding of Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, it was possible for Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng to break his legs in a fit of rage.

But it was absolutely impossible for Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng to "report to the authorities" and send his brother in.

But now listen to what he's saying? Let me send myself in?

When Pan Jinlian sent Wu Dalang on his way, she even fed him the medicine herself!

"Brother Peng? Are you telling me a joke? I don't steal, I don't rob, I don't kill, I don't defraud... You want me to surrender? Surrender what?"

"Oh, right, last year, I fought with Wu Laoliu from the East City with you, and I opened his head with a brick. If you want to talk about that, it's worth surrendering. Why don't we brothers go together to keep each other company?"

Sanshui completely sobered up, smiled lightly, and said the words he had drafted countless times in his heart.

Ever since he started smuggling, he had been preparing for "trying to be lucky" every day. Even if he were put in silver bracelets, he would still have this set of rhetoric.

As for the few things in the room, they didn't count for anything. There were no less than eighty people doing this in Yangcheng; if you can't catch the source, it's nothing.

Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng looked at Sanshui without speaking, just pressed the switch of a tape recorder on the table.

At this time, Sanshui realized that this tape recorder wasn't something in his room.

"Work with me, I definitely won't be trusted anymore, but after Brother Peng leaves, you will definitely still be in charge of the Yangcheng wholesale department. When the time comes, we will cooperate. You send my goods to Dongshan Railway Station..."

"."

"Brother Sanshui, are you smuggling televisions now?"

"Told you it's not called smuggling... These few are broken. They encountered wind and waves when coming by water and got water in them. They have to be repaired before they can be sold."

Sanshui's face turned black.

He never expected that Ergou was so cunning that he had secretly recorded him.

'82 is not '22. People had basically no awareness of tricks like recording. Even in the early 2000s, similar fresh plot points often appeared in movies!

And by '22, when unit personnel talked to employees, they had to be eighteen times more careful to avoid leaving any handle for the other party to arbitrate.

So Sanshui didn't lose unjustly.

But Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's face was even blacker.

He knew Sanshui was a hidden danger, but he didn't expect Sanshui to be such a disaster, actually wanting to drag everyone into the water without giving up.

Truly not worth pitying.

"Ergou, you dog-fucking thing, you won't die well in this life, and in the next life..."

"Buzz~"

A wine bottle flew into the air and smashed onto Sanshui's forehead.

It was Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng. Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's hands were shaking, but he held another wine bottle and raised it toward Sanshui.

"Sanshui, what did you say when you came out of Qingshui hometown with me? How are you doing it now? You actually want to collude with Ergou to lie to me?"

"."

"Of course I remember what I said, but have you, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, forgotten what you said?"

"You told us back then that we would share blessings and share difficulties, but have you done it now?"

Sanshui wiped the blood on his face and said ferociously: "How much money do you make every month, and how much money do you distribute to your brothers? You make at least tens of thousands every month, and we only make a few hundred every month. Is this how you share blessings with us?"

"Those are all money we helped you earn. You are now like a landlord, peeling the skin of us long-term laborers..."

Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng stared and said angrily: "Then why don't you talk about those in our hometown who make tens of yuan a month? As long as you don't act foolishly, you can also make tens of thousands a month in a few years. Why are you so impatient..."

"Don't give me that," Sanshui looked at Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng with contempt and said: "Since you are not righteous, then don't block my way to get rich. If you really force me, I will expose your speculation and profiteering, and none of us will have a good time..."

"Woo~"

"Damn~"

Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's second wine bottle immediately smashed onto Sanshui's head.

And Sanshui then cursed angrily, suddenly ran to the wardrobe in the room, reached out and took out a tubular weapon, aimed it at Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, and pulled the trigger.

"Ding~"

A crisp firing pin impact sound was exceptionally loud in the quiet room.

Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng was stunned, Hao Jian was stunned, Wang Jianqiang was stunned... even Sanshui was stunned.

"Look, I said he would definitely pull the trigger!"

A faint voice sounded from behind the sofa.

Sanshui turned his head sharply and saw that Li Ye had been sitting in the corner behind him, moving a chair.

"It really is you again!"

Sanshui clearly remembered that last time in Pengcheng, it was this Li Ye who gave a look, and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng beat him up severely.

And this time, the reason Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng wanted to send him in was also eight or nine times out of ten because of this bad seed.

But before Sanshui could finish scolding, he was pressed down by four or five people and beaten up.

When he was drunk and asleep, the experienced Uncle Hong had searched the whole room and discovered this five-shot gun, but Li Ye said to unload the bullets and try, and then unexpectedly this situation really happened.

"Alright, stop hitting, you'll kill him."

Li Ye saw that the several retired soldiers were too ruthless, so he persuaded Uncle Hong.

But Uncle Hong said: "It's okay, they have a sense of proportion. When they go in, people there also like this kind of muddled account."

Li Ye: "."

Don't say it, Uncle Hong said the several retired soldiers had a sense of proportion, and they really did.

At least after hitting for a long time, Sanshui's arms and legs were fine, basically just some skin injuries.

Then, Uncle Hong arranged for people to send Sanshui to the yamen.

According to reason, "sending to relevant departments" is not recognized as fighting.

The reporter was Ergou, because he lived with Sanshui day and night and found Sanshui very suspicious, which led to the series of things that followed.

As for how to operate it, Li Ye didn't care; he believed Hao Jian could handle it well.

However, when Sanshui was sent out the door, there was a small episode.

He turned his head and said to Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng and the others: "Do you believe that I will come out after I go in?"

"."

After Uncle Hong and Ergou left, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng relaxed as if he had lost his strength, slumped to the side, wanting to touch a cigarette, but his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

Li Ye helped him light one and said: "It's not worth it for this kind of person."

Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng finished smoking a cigarette in three puffs and smiled at Li Ye.

"No need to comfort me, I guarantee this is the last time."

"My last time."

Updated late today, sorry again. Old Feng is also very anxious, because being late for one day will take several days to catch up. Truly ashamed, I can only pray for everyone's forgiveness, my additional chapters will be postponed for two days.
