Chapter 728: Lan Si is your father and your work is settled
The blonde young man tilted his head slightly, and there was no fear in his eyes.
He looked at Christopher, "Lan Si is your father."
"Pfft..."
Christopher turned around fiercely and looked at the person who laughed. The guy's face changed instantly, and he stopped laughing, lowering his head, not daring to look at Christopher's gaze.
"Funny?", Christopher asked, "Tell me, is it funny?"
He walked towards that person. The guy knew it was bad in his heart. He hurriedly followed Christopher's answer, "No, not funny."
Christopher walked in front of him, "Not funny, what were you laughing at just now?"
He is very sensitive in this regard, since he was a child, very sensitive to his identity, status, even if he returned to this island now, he is equally sensitive.
The more things that are missing, the more they care.
When he was in the Federation, he began to emphasize his identity as the "legitimate heir" in those rumors, because he was afraid of losing these.
That person didn't know what to say, and finally could only lower his head, "Sorry, Duofo."
Christopher's gaze stabbed at that person like a knife. He suddenly hit the guy's abdomen with an uppercut. The instant attack made the person's abdominal muscles spasm, and he curled up on the ground holding his stomach in an instant.
He twisted his neck and turned back to the blonde young man, "Are you not afraid of death?"
The blonde young man had a rebellious look on his face, "When I came, I didn't think about being able to go back alive."
"Lan Si will take revenge for us. I am just a small character, and you...", he looked Christopher up and down, "Using my life to change your life, I earned it!"
Christopher directly raised the handgun in his hand and pulled the trigger at the blonde kid's head. Click, it jammed.
He paid attention to the blonde young man's state the whole time. When he pulled the trigger, he could clearly feel that this guy closed his eyes.
But soon he opened them again, still staring at himself fiercely like just now.
He pulled the trigger two more times, it really jammed.
"Fuck!", he took a step back, put down his hand that was holding it flat, and pushed the sleeve with the other hand hard twice, and a bullet was ejected from the shell ejector.
He reloaded, pressed against the blonde young man's skull, and the latter also took a deep breath, held it in his chest, and then looked at him with a weird smile that couldn't be described.
In his life, Christopher had never seen a few people who were not afraid of death, so he couldn't understand this mental state.
After the two looked at each other for a long time, his thoughts changed a little, "Lock them up."
His own subordinates didn't understand why he suddenly didn't shoot again, but Christopher is the boss here, they have to listen to him.
The two young people were soon taken to the basement by them. In the basement of this villa, there are several iron cages specially used to detain some people.
They are integrated with the whole building, it is hard to integrate, it is almost impossible for anyone to escape with bare hands.
Watching the two people being sent to the basement, Christopher walked to the sofa and picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.
He has actually been paying attention to the news in Jincheng. After all, Sumuli Island... for the four major families here, they may think this is heaven.
But for a young man who is used to life in the Federation and was born in the Federation, this place is as boring as the Xilin District.
He wants to return to the Federation!
So he has been paying attention to the changes in Jincheng. He knows that the five major families have become a thing of the past, knows that the Bay Area has been conquered, knows that Lan Si has become the ruler of the underground world of Jincheng, he knows a lot!
He also heard that Lan Si actually got a relationship with Congress, and he is becoming more and more powerful.
If these two young people were killed now, it would mean that the road for him to go back was blocked.
He couldn't really stay in Sumuli Island for a lifetime, as a "son-in-law," he didn't like everything here, and even less liked the lack of freedom here.
He wants to return to the Federation, this place is just a springboard for him to return to the Federation.
After he sat down and poured himself wine two or three times, he got Lan Si's phone number through some relationships in Jincheng.
Under the urging of some alcohol, he returned to his study and dialed Lan Si's number.
The sound of beep... beep... made his heartbeat seem to accelerate slightly. There were many voices in his brain, all telling him what to do next.
The more these voices, the more chaotic his brain.
I don't know how long it took, suddenly the phone was connected.
"This is Lan Si."
"Lan Si..."
Christopher's voice was still relatively strange to Lan Si. They hadn't had much contact, and the two sides hadn't said much.
"Yes, it's me, who are you?"
He leaned against the receiver with his shoulder, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, tilted his head, and lit it with a desktop lighter.
"Hiss..."
"Hoo..."
"If this is a prank call, then I'm going to hang it up."
"If it's not a prank call, you'd better say something."
Christopher pursed his lips, "It's me, Christopher."
Lan Si didn't expect Christopher to call him either. He didn't expect it at all, and it took two or three seconds to ask, "What do you want to say?"
Christopher's chaotic thoughts began to become a little more organized, "Your people are in my hands, I can kill them, or I can let them go."
"Listen, Lan Si, I don't have any direct conflict with you."
"When Paul asked me to give the bar to you, you did it too."
"You and I don't necessarily have to be enemies, and this is a matter within the Pasleto family, isn't it?"
"Don't interfere with the matter between me and Francisco, I will let your people go back!"
He said and waited for a while, didn't hear Lan Si's response, and then added a sentence, "I'm done, you think about it carefully."
"No need to think!", Lan Si gave him the answer directly, "Let them bring the bodies of Alberto and Fordis back, I can make the decision to let you go once, but only once!"
Francisco couldn't help laughing, "Are you crazy or am I crazy?"
"This world is so fucking interesting, this is Sumuli Island!"
"Not Jincheng, not the Federation, why do you let me go once?"
"I hate people like you the most, do you know?"
"You, and Paul, you are all people like this, like to use that annoying tone to talk to others, what the fuck are you?"
"You let me go?"
"Lan Si, you are not as great as you imagine, do you know?"
"I will kill your people, and then throw the bodies of Alberto and Fordis into the sewer. If you have the ability, come to Sumuli, let me see how you let me go once!"
He slammed the phone directly. Lan Si's high-and-mighty tone made him think of Paul and associated many bad memories for him in the past.
He poured himself a large glass of wine again, and then beckoned to a subordinate. The subordinate walked to the sofa, "Duofo?"
"Kill the two people in the basement, and then throw them to the pier!"
The subordinate nodded and left.
Christopher sat on the sofa and sulked. Everyone looked down on him, fuck!
He drank the wine in the cup with his head up, smashed it heavily on the ground, then let's try it!
Let's see who can laugh last.
Lan Si also put down the phone here. He was smoking, and in his heart, he actually knew that the situation of those two people might not be very good.
When choosing the candidates to go to Sumuli, Aierwen followed Lan Si's decision, not to raise money, but to let people sign up themselves.
Such an action with obvious huge risks will not be forcibly assigned. Lan Si let them decide who to go themselves.
The person who went back is the captain, regardless of whether they can complete their work.
What people exchange with their lives is definitely not a "good job," but real benefits. This time, they might have lost the bet.
He made a call to Aierwen, "For the two guys who went to Sumuli, give their families double the pension and compensation."
Aierwen reacted, "They failed?"
"Well, caught, it is very likely that they won't come back, give the money first."
Aierwen sighed, "They are all good guys...", I don't know why, now his status is getting higher and higher, and he is getting richer and richer, but he has become more and more compassionate.
If it were in the past, he would only feel that the two were worthy of being people of the Lan Si family, and they didn't lose face for everyone wherever they went.
But now, he hopes that the two can survive.
"I know, I will go over and handle this matter personally tomorrow morning."
He hesitated, "This matter..."
He wanted to ask something, Lan Si naturally knew, "Don't worry, solve the troubles in front of us first, Sumuli is there, he can't escape."
Aierwen said "um," "As long as you have a plan."
!
The next day, a day off, Director Dale was taking his family shopping.
Since he chose to follow his heart, life has become leisurely, especially recently he heard that Lan Si obtained the franchise and could brew wine openly, and he had a new understanding of Lan Si's energy in Jinzhou.
When he was in Jinzhou, he understood a truth: no matter how well a person does, how many good deeds he does, and how many people he helps, as long as Congress thinks he is evil, then he must be evil.
The opposite is also true. Even if a person does all bad things, bad to the point of being bad, as long as Congress thinks he is useful and valuable, then he is a good person and a law-abiding citizen.
The closer to Congress, the more one can feel the collapse of the outlook on life, values, and world outlook.
The education people receive from childhood to adulthood, and the information they receive, are completely different from the ruling class.
Maybe he would have other thoughts in his dreams before, but now, he doesn't want anything.
Isn't it good to enjoy life?
Look, putting down the career ambition, now earning more than before!
He stood by a TV set, slightly dazed. He turned his head and looked at the salesman who was trying his best to sell this TV to his family, "Add it to the bill."
The salesman was stunned, "Sorry, I didn't hear clearly, what did you say, sir?"
"I said!", Director Dale patted the TV next to him, "Add it to our shopping list, we bought it."
"But you have to give me a new one!"
The salesman's expression turned into surprise, Director Dale's child also showed a look of liking, and his wife looked at him with a smile.
One thousand three hundred and ninety-nine dollars, which is equal to one thousand four hundred dollars.
If a worker can save twenty dollars a month, he needs about seventy months, which is nearly six years, to afford this TV.
But for him, he doesn't even care much about this level of consumption.
The sales staff nodded and bowed to record the TV on the shopping list, enjoying the envious gazes cast by those people, and Director Dale's mood became better.
"The weather is about to warm up soon, I think we should have time to go for a picnic in the suburbs, and go fishing or something."
He looked at the sales staff, "Introduce me to a boat suitable for our family, preferably a car that can tow that boat and bring some camping supplies."
The sales staff was already so excited that he began to tremble. He remembered the reason why he joined this line—"From a Sewing Needle to a Business Empire."
The book introduced a salesman who started from selling a needle, let his customers buy more thread, after all, needles and thread are inseparable.
Then he sold scissors, rulers, and a series of utensils, and finally even sold a villa!
In this era, no one thought about whether the things said in this book could become reality, or whether someone was lying.
They just subconsciously thought that this was true.
Selling a villa is indeed very difficult, but selling a sewing needle doesn't seem to be a difficult thing.
People are crazily obsessed with the things said in the book. They even think they can become such people, until they buy goods that they can't sell to rush performance, they start to reflect, can they really do it?
However, the salesman in front of him seemed to have done it. A TV, a boat, a car, and complete camping supplies, how much is this?
Three thousand dollars, or four thousand dollars, he is no longer clear, the only thing he has to do now is to follow the rhythm in the book as much as possible.
"Sir, I suggest you should add a barbecue grill to the list!"
"Think about it, when spring comes, having a barbecue with family by the lake, isn't it very artistic?"
"Yes, we also have barbecue grills here, and they are the best kind!"
After shopping in the mall for most of the day, when he paid, he didn't care about the five-digit number at the end of the bill, and casually signed a check and handed it over.
His family looked at him with unbelievable eyes, and his wife kissed him.
"You are like a different person!"
In the car on the way back, his wife couldn't help but talk about some changes in Director Dale in the past few months.
In the past, he was always busy with work, and even many times he would eat and live in the office, and could only return home occasionally.
She had complained to him several times—"We haven't been intimate for a long time!"
But Director Dale refused the busy time for a few minutes on the grounds of work.
In the past few months, he has had more time, and his wife is also a beneficiary. Although it is only a few minutes, at least there is, isn't it?
And Director Dale started spending money on his family, which is completely different from his past self. These changes are positive and upward, and his family likes them very much.
Director Dale also had a faint smile on his face, "Do you like my new changes?"
"Of course!", his wife was the first supporter of his new changes.
His child was also very supportive, "It would be even better if you could give me more pocket money!"
Director Dale couldn't help laughing, and the whole family was happy.
The goods in the mall need to be transferred and then delivered, and it will take a day or two, so except for some goods that can be taken away directly, they still need to wait two days to enjoy those.
Just when Director Dale parked the car, opened the door and prepared to return home with his family, suddenly a car horn sounded behind him.
Two short sounds, one listen to know that it is to attract his attention.
He looked back, and didn't know when three cars were parked one after another on the side of the road in the community.
He said to his family, "A friend is looking for me, you go back first."
He said, turned around and tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the car in the middle.
The person sitting in the passenger seat got out of the car and opened the back door for him. He nodded slightly to signal, and then sat in.
"You could have called me."
His tone was not very happy, because today is a day off, it should be the time for him and his family to relax, and Lan Si's appearance made him feel some tension.
Lan Si didn't care much, "I just came back from another place, and I came to see you as soon as I came back, you should feel honored!"
If someone said this before, saying that he should feel honored to see Lan Si for the first time, he would laugh and say that this person has shit in his brain.
But now, he doesn't think so, "What is so urgent?"
Lan Si signaled the driver to drive, talking while walking.
"Remember what I mentioned to you before, about letting you go to the State Prohibition Committee?"
Director Dale's heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably, "Yes, there is such a thing, we are already operating."
Lan Si shook his head slightly, "Too slow, but don't worry, I'm not here to trouble you."
"This time I went to New Jincheng, I got to know several executive committee members of the Congressional Prohibition Committee, so..."
He turned and looked at Director Dale sitting at the other end, "You have to prepare, at most next week, your appointment will arrive, Executive Committee Member Mr. Dale!"
At this time, Dale's mouth was dry, and he suddenly wanted to kowtow to Lan Si.
