Ghost leaned on the driver's seat, counting the patterns on the roof with some boredom. He had received a long-awaited notice from his boss that they would go on a mission together. Now he was parked in a remote parking lot waiting for someone.
Although he should have a cigarette to relax at this time, his boss hated second-hand smoke. If he smelled the smoke later, his face would be horrified.
After killing the potential Rape criminal, Ghost hid in the tentative hotel. As a killer, he naturally had this consciousness, but fortunately, the boss was quite conscientious. Not only did he arrange the best star-rated hotel, but he even gave Ghost a card with no consumption restrictions, so that Ghost could rest and recuperate. It was really as Li Xinzhi said, that he was being cultivated as a minion, or a confidant.
However, even with such a good service, Ghost was still instinctively afraid of Li Xinzhi. He had never seen him experience anything exciting, but he had a kind of aura of majesty without anger. When he made cruel decisions, there was no emotional fluctuation. He was really a mysterious man.
Feeling like he had stayed here for too long, Ghost moved his butt and lowered his seat. He looked helplessly at the snow outside the window, accompanied by drizzle hitting the window. Even if he turned the heating to the highest setting, he could still feel the chill.
The snow had been falling for several days and nights. At this time last year, if a few people had frozen to death on the street, the newspapers and reporters would have attacked the municipal departments like a pack of wolves, filled with indignation, as if they were the light of civilization. Now, these reporters who cursed people are probably unemployed, squatting on the street with the people who were cursed.
It is not surprising that people have frozen to death now, because the city government's finances are also all-in on stocks, which has led to an extreme shortage of funds. They are simply unable to support the relief of the unemployed, and even fired a lot of people in order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Ghost heard that the Linhai branch was very conscientious and opened a relief station and food area, but compared with the large number of unemployed people, it was simply a drop in the bucket, but it did gain a lot of reputation.
Just think about it, it's Li Xinzhi's work, such a mature and cunning way, sometimes the ghost really wonders if he is possessed by the soul of an old man, he is not a normal person at all!
However, when the ghost was thinking about it, the car door suddenly made a sound of unlocking, and the ghost was startled, because the car windows were covered with snow, and it was impossible to see outside. At this time, the locked car door was opened. Could it be haunted?
"Sorry, I'm late. Um, why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"
Li Xinzhi, wearing a suit and coat, opened the car door with the gifts in his hand. He was displeased when he saw his men looking scared. Was he really that scary?
"No, are you okay, boss?"
The ghost reacted and apologized quickly. After all, during the past few months of getting along, Li Xinzhi had cast a lot of shadows on his heart, and he instinctively felt scared.
"It's okay. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Let's have something hot first!"
Li Xinzhi didn't ask too many questions to this flustered subordinate. Anyway, he wasn't the kind of person who liked to put on airs. As long as he was doing business, all he had to do was obey his orders absolutely.
After throwing the satchel in, he bought a cup of scalding coffee from the shopping bag and threw it to Ghost. Then he rushed into the car door without any hesitation, sat on the side seat, and opened a can of black coffee for himself.
In the increasingly strong snowstorm, the two men sat in the car with the heater on at full power, quietly listening to the wind, the boring radio, and drinking the coffee that was gradually losing temperature. Although Ghost wanted to take the initiative to start a conversation, he suppressed his desire when he saw his boss's standard dead fish face when he was about to do business.
"You did a good job this time, I should thank you for helping me get rid of a legacy."
After drinking the bitter black coffee, Li Xinzhi took the initiative to start a conversation, but it was not a task instruction or anything, but a thank you. This immediately made Ghost flattered, but he was a little puzzled. What will this guy do next?
"I guess Mr. Zhao must be completely driven to desperation. Very good, if he has this awareness, then I don't need to be polite."
Before Ghost could reply, Li Xinzhi began to talk to himself in a mysterious way, as if he was playing chess with a friend far away. Ghost frowned immediately, thinking that these black-hearted and ruthless guys really didn't like to speak human words.
"So, boss, you are not here to complain about life, right? In such a cold day, shouldn’t you be with your girlfriend in the warm bed, or has your orientation suddenly changed?!"Unable to bear this atmosphere, Ghost complained very unhappily. In such a cold day, he called his brother out to talk about business instead of business. It was really annoying. If you have something to say, please say it. If you have something to say, please fart!
"Well, I have to take it easy these few days. I don't have anything to ask you for, just to help me. I seem to be followed by someone who wants to attack me. I think they are wandering around here. Can you please take care of them?"
Li Xinzhi scratched his left cheek helplessly. He had to calm down under the siege of Ji Qingjue and Nangong Nuoya these days, and then told Ghost to take care of the people who were following him in a tone that it was no big deal.
"Oh, so... This is not right! This is too sudden! And with your skills, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with them, right?"
Hearing Li Xinzhi's abrupt request, Ghost couldn't help but screamed. Getting along with this guy is like riding a roller coaster, with all kinds of chaos and emergencies.
"Then why should I pay you? You are a qualified subordinate and should learn to share the boss's worries. The equipment is here, deal with it quickly."
Li Xinzhi rolled his eyes at Youling, stuffed the pistol and mask in the bag into his hand, then crossed his legs, picked up Hirasaka and did his own thing. Youling had no choice but to greet this guy's ancestors in his heart, put on the mask, unfastened the safety of the pistol, and kicked the car door open with murderous intent.
Li Xinzhi listened to the faint gunshots and wailing in the wind and snow, and gradually formed a new plan in his mind. Zhao Linyi played his cards, and it was his turn.
The car door was pulled open suddenly, and Youling entered the car with a murderous and bloody face. Li Xinzhi glanced at him from the side and started to do his own thing again, because he knew that this killer should understand the purpose of his arrangement today.
"Those are... people from the hotel? Did Zhao Linyi cooperate with them?!"
Ghost was a little scared and understood Li Xinzhi's intention. This group of assassins targeting him must have been sent by his old boss. Although he had never seen these bosses before, he instantly understood something through the fight just now.
"Drive to the Lycra suit shop. Now we have an excuse to talk."
Li Xinzhi buckled his seat belt neatly and gave instructions to Ghost. He sneered at the skylight. Now it was time for him to make his move.
Li Xinzhi sat in Ghost's old car and drove straight to the old district. Along the way, as if competing in taste, the two kept switching the radio. On one side, it was classical music appreciation, and on the other side, it was rock music, competing like childish ghosts.
However, even in this weird and harmonious atmosphere, Ghost still felt uneasy. The feeling of killing those people just now was still there. In order to kill them quickly, he shot their knees and then twisted their heads with his hands.
Although it is said that after so many years, killing is as easy as drinking water, and Ghost cannot have any bad problems of PTSD, but he still feels something is wrong, because he seems to have killed the people in the hotel, that is, his comrades.
If an organization wants to protect To maintain deterrence, there must be a set of creeds and rules. The hotel is no exception. That is, mutual vendettas or obstruction of the mission are prohibited.
Although Ghost felt that he was fired as a failure, the feeling of violating the taboo of heaven still made him feel a little uneasy. After all, if he offended a group of desperados who lived by the rules, he might be beaten up on the street one day!
But Li Xinzhi on the side was like nothing happened. Except for complaining about Ghost's poor driving skills and complaining about his old-fashioned taste in music, the rest of the time he just stared at the Hirasaka in his hand.
His expression was like a palette, sometimes serious, sometimes with an unstoppable smile, but what remained unchanged was the awe-inspiring indifference, the temperament that remained unchanged under the dangerous wall.
It's really not what this age should have. Only those who have experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood can have this temperament, so Ghost is very curious about Li Xinzhi's past.
"Boss... have you ever killed anyone?"
Ghost turned the steering wheel carefully, deliberately asking Li Xinzhi in a chatty tone whether he had ever been stained with blood. After all, when he subdued him, his skills were really terrifying.
"No... I should say not yet, but it will be soon.……"
Li Xinzhi seemed to have expected the ghost to ask this question, and he denied it cleanly, but he did not lie. He had not yet stained his blood, but it would be soon. After all, no matter how good at calculating,���To completely solve the problem, you still have to do it yourself
"Boss, you don't look like you're acting.……"
Although he knew that Li Xinzhi was a person who didn't like to lie, Ghost still had some lingering fears. Li Xinzhi showed the aura of a superior that even a desperate man like him was afraid of. It seemed that he was born with this aura.
"Ghost, if you want to make people obedient, violence alone is not enough, so there is such a thing as imperial studies. Maybe you are afraid that the people you kill will offend the organization, but in front of higher powers, they are just gloves."
Li Xinzhi noticed what his subordinate was thinking, took off his glasses, stared at him seriously, and spoke earnestly about his own experience. His guide on the road to power was naturally Fang Xuemei.
Although to outsiders, Fang Xuemei and he are a very close pair of grandparents, but when teaching real skills, she is not reluctant to expose her true nature, and fully let Li Xinzhi understand the operation and brutality of power.
Based on Li Xinzhi's understanding of Fang Xuemei, she probably will come back because of the failure of his third uncle's investment in the cornerstone company. By then, it is estimated that there will be a bloody storm inside the Fang family, but this is none of Li Xinzhi's business. Anyway, the reminders have been given, and it is their business how to stir up trouble.
"That's right... Maybe I've been holding a gun for too long and don't know these things.……"
Faced with this boss who was always a little cold and violent but very reliable, Ghost said his innocent thoughts somewhat angrily. As a weapon, he really had no solution other than violence.
While thinking about this new idea, the car had already arrived at the door of the Leica Suit Shop, which was one of the two people's destinations. Seeing the deserted appearance of the door, Ghost looked at Li Xinzhi with some confusion, wondering how this big boss who was busy with all kinds of things could have the leisure to come to this suit shop to buy clothes.
Li Xinzhi opened the car door and adjusted his windbreaker that was wrinkled from sitting for a long time. The cold wind blew the garbage bag at his feet. There was almost no one around. You could see that the weekly shops were full of for sale signs, and only this store had an open sign.
"Come here too, don't try to get away."
When Ghost was about to have another cigarette and wait for Li Xinzhi to go shopping, he was still called by the boss who liked to drive people. Although he wanted to complain, Li Xinzhi's serious expression still made him follow.
Pushing open the door, smelling the sandalwood scent that was somewhat inconsistent with the atmosphere, the two of them went directly into the Lycra suit store.
Looking at the suits, they couldn't help but sigh at the heritage of this store.
After so many years in the underworld, Ghost had heard of the reputation of this store.
The starting price of a suit was one hundred thousand, and only rich people could afford it.
Although he had thought about getting a whole set of suits, as a killer, it was obviously not okay to be too conspicuous.
"Boss, don't you have enough clothes? Why do you need to change?"
Ghost asked Li Xinzhi in a low voice. This rich man was obviously a clothes hanger. Every time they met, he was wearing different but expensive clothes. He really couldn't understand why he suddenly came to him.
"Oh~ I guess it's just a change of clothes. This store is my lifesaver. Without it, I would have been beaten to a pulp by you.~"
""Gu!"
Li Xinzhi responded to this subordinate with a smile, as if telling a joke. Ghost was almost choked to death by him. Thinking back to the first time they met, it was really exciting. They were ready to kill each other. Although he knew that this guy would not take revenge on him that day, he still felt uncomfortable.
""Oh, I didn't expect a guest! My son is on a business trip. Today we are just open for some sun. No service is provided!"
An old and deep voice came, and an old man in his sixties walked out slowly with a dragon-shaped staff. If it weren't for his mixed-race appearance, he would really be an authentic Donglu master, but his tone was a little unfriendly, and he even wanted to drive the guest away.
"Is this Mr. Casey Lacey? Hello, I am Li Xinzhi who bought the"special edition" before.
Li Xinzhi quickly guessed the identity of the old man, and after a respectful salute, he explained his purpose. He is the father of the owner Liu Lacey, and the previous owner Casey Lacey.
""Oh! Are you the customer with a great figure?"
Cassie Lacey's eyes lit up, and her attitude suddenly changed. She stared at Li Xinzhi's body with satisfaction, as if she was admiring a sword. Ghost was a little uneasy because of this look, after all, it was too much like a gay gaze!
"Haha, I have to thank Mr. Cassie's craftsmanship. You saved my life!"
Li Xinzhi responded in a more showy way, but he did not forget to mention the effect of the suit, which made Cassie Lacey's mouth twitch. It was like an open secret, and the embarrassment of being exposed on stage.
"So, Mr. Li, what are you doing here today? Sorry, I can't provide services during this period. The boy is not here. Without his help, I can't make clothes."
Then, as if in a hurry, Cassie Lacey stretched out her dry hands, indicating that she couldn't provide services today. Although she didn't want to admit that she was old, her body would not listen to her. Without the help of her successor Liu Lacey, she couldn't start work.
""It's okay. I just came here to sit for a while and drink the coffee that the manager treated me to last time. Mr. Cassi, am I not qualified?"
But Li Xinzhi, who was always very observant, not only did not understand the old man, but was a little rude to sit on the sofa and let the old man make coffee. This made Ghost feel puzzled. Why did this boss who always cared about his reputation act like a hooligan today?
"Mr. Li is naturally a big customer... Sorry, it's rare for you to come to my house on your own initiative, I'm not good enough to host you... Please wait a moment……"
After being stunned for a moment, Cassie Lacey walked into the backstage. Li Xinzhi looked at his junior with a playful expression, then turned around and started looking at his phone again, but he kept tapping his feet.
