Cyber Daming

Kowloon Street, Brother Pao Club Hall.

There is a altar in the middle of the hall. In the niche is a green-robed Guan Gong holding a sword and pulling a beard. His phoenix eyes are slightly narrowed and he is domineering.

At this time, a stocky and short figure was standing in front of the shrine to worship devoutly.

As he clasped his hands and bowed, a row of holographic text suddenly appeared in front of the statue of Guan Gong:

"Thanks to Mr. Gu Jia, the security director of Shudao Logistics Group, for donating 50,000 Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes - Wu Sheng Guan Gong's Deeds Dissemination Committee."

An old voice immediately sounded: "There are not many followers of the Martial Saint who can be as generous as you, Minister."

Gu Jia bowed again, then turned around and said with a smile: "I only have the opportunity to bow when I come to your brother Pao's main hall, so naturally I have to express my feelings. But compared to Mr. Ding, you have always been Consecration, this is nothing to me.”

Zhao Ding was still lying on the sofa wrapped in the black cloak. His figure seemed a little thinner than when he appeared in the Kowloon boxing ring a few days ago.

"After worshiping for a long time, I sometimes wonder. After so many years of worship, have I paid tribute to a true god, or have I fed a group of shameless swordsmen and pen officials?"

When Gu Jia heard this, his thick and stubby eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he said with a half-smile, "It's okay for Mr. Ding to complain, but you must not have any blasphemous thoughts. There are gods in your head."

"This man is dying because he has too much resentment. Minister Gu, don't be offended."

Zhao Ding smiled loudly, raised his hand and asked Gu Jia to sit down, and then raised his chin towards Kuang Qingyun who was standing beside him.

The latter stepped forward and placed a silver-white password box on the coffee table between the two of them.

The box was opened, and it was revealed that it was the five Six Arts chips that Li Jun had taken back from Zhao Qingxia.

After doing all this, Kuang Qingyun withdrew without saying a word from beginning to end.

"Is this the heir you chose?"

Gu Jia just glanced at the lost Six Arts chip and stopped looking at it. Instead, he watched Kuang Qingyun's leaving back with interest.

Zhao Ding nodded, chuckled and said: "This boy is just a loyal idiot. He will inevitably get into trouble in the future. Minister, please help him more in the future."

"Supporting is out of the question. As you have seen, Mr. Ding, today's security department is just a combination of outsiders and middle-aged men. A mere kid from Mo Jiu can turn the world upside down. Even Gu Ding was killed."

Gu Jia looked melancholy and sighed, then sat up straight, clasped his fists towards Zhao Ding and thanked:

"If it hadn't been for Master Ding and your men to help me snatch this batch of goods this time, I would have been scolded by Master Yong. No wonder Master Yong has always trusted you so much, Master Ding."

Zhao Ding raised his almost skinny hand and waved it, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.

"Brother Pao, thousands of people at the meeting all depended on Master Gu Yong to take care of them and feed them. If you receive favors from others, you must repay them. If the goods of Shudao Logistics were robbed on Kowloon Street, I will That’s how you die with your eyes open.”

Gu Jia said sincerely: "Master Ding, you are too polite. Your genetic collapse has always been a concern for Master Yong. Master Yong often talks about it. If he had noticed this earlier, he would have been able to save you."

"I woke up too late. No wonder anyone stopped talking about this."

Zhao Ding's tone became solemn, "The Mo Family Tianzhihui has not appeared in Chengdu for several years. How could a junior come out and attack Shudao Logistics this time?"

"What else could it be because of poverty?"

Gu Jia snorted coldly, "You know what their virtues are. They claim to be chivalrous, but they are actually just robbers and thieves. Bandits in prosperous times and thieves in troubled times, these are the people we are talking about."

He punched the armrest of the sofa and said angrily: "In my opinion, the Confucian gentlemen back then shouldn't be merciful and just cut the grass and roots. It would be nice to end up clean and tidy."

"Ahem..."

Zhao Ding coughed twice and said with lowered eyebrows: "Minister, you can't let those guys from the Ministry of Industry hear what you said. I've heard that people from the Mo family are involved in many projects of the Ministry of Industry. They're really going to kill them all." Now, the gentlemen from the Ministry of Industry have no one to help them."

Gu Jia also noticed that he had made a mistake and laughed hurriedly: "Hahaha, after all, there are still a small number of madmen like Tianzhihui. Most people of the Mohist family are still good, and they are still good!"

Seeing Zhao Ding smiling and saying nothing, Gu Jia quickly changed the subject, "I still have a question, and I want to ask Master Ding for your advice."

"It doesn't matter if you say so, Minister."

Gu Jia said seriously: "Li Jun defeated the Sacrificial Sword Society in the Kowloon boxing ring, and now he has snatched the goods back from the Tianzhi Society. With such great contributions, Lord Ding, you let Kuang Qingyun take over. Aren't you afraid of Li Jun?" If you don’t accept it, brothers are fighting against each other?”

Zhao Ding seemed to have anticipated what Gu Jia wanted to say, and said directly: "Minister, do you want Li Jun to enter the security department of Shudao Logistics?"

"Master Ding is the only one who knows me." Gu Jia sat up straighter and said with an eager expression:

"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Since Mr. Ding, you have chosen Kuang Qingyun as your successor, why not let Li Jun follow me. In this way, there will be someone to control the situation in Jiulong Street and someone to take over Gu Ding's position. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

Although Gu Jia's words were straightforward, they made sense.

Today, Kuang Qingyun ranks as the second sage brother among the brothers in Muddy Water Pao, and his status is much higher than that of Li Jun, who serves as the fifth brother of Hongqi.

But both of them have entered the sequence, and where their strength is, their status doesn't matter.

There is only one chair at the helm of Brother Muddy Waters Pao. No matter who sits on it, the other person will feel unwilling to do so.

What's more, now that Zhao Ding is determined to let Kuang Qingyun take over, sending Li Jun to Shudao Logistics is the best choice.

Only by occupying one of the chicken head and the phoenix tail can conflicts be resolved to the greatest extent.

"Minister, you are still thoughtful. But I owe Li Jun a lot about Zhao Dou. If I use my position as the helmsman to force him, I'm afraid it will backfire."

Zhao Ding paused and said with helplessness on his face: "You also know what kind of temperament people in the martial arts sequence have. They will accept soft things rather than hard things, so this matter depends on his own wishes."

Gu Jia said confidently: "Don't worry, Mr. Ding. As long as you are willing to let him go, leave the rest to me. Warriors are all brave men who swallow gold. I don't believe that they can rely on the big tree of Shudao Logistics." He is not moved."

Zhao Ding smiled and said: "Since you have a love for talents, minister, I won't be a villain. But there is one thing. I have to wait until Li Jun helps me solve the trouble in Luo Town before I can follow you."

"I understand this, and I will also consider Li Jun's character in this matter. If he escapes from the battlefield, I will naturally not take him into the security department."

At this time, Gu Jia's expression became solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Speaking of which, Master Yong asked me to bring you a message. The person behind Luo Zhen has been found out."

"who is it?"

Gu Jia's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Tianfu Heavy Industries, Wu Jinfeng!"

Zhao Ding smiled coldly, "So our inspection master is relying on the Wu family in Yanzhou?"

"Wu Jinfeng is the only mad dog in the entire Chengdu Prefecture who makes all the court officials work around and blatantly interferes in local business."

Zhao Ding thought for a moment and asked, "What does Master Yong mean?"

Gu Jia smiled grimly and said, "The young master's meaning is very clear. Although the business in the Chicken and Goose District is not big, it is related to the Gu family's face. No matter who it is, they will reach out to chop off their hands or feet. Even the Wu family is no exception."

Zhao Ding smiled and said, "With your words, I feel relieved."

"Okay, now that we're done, I'll take my leave."

Gu Jia stood up and picked up the password box on the table. When he reached Zhao Ding, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

He squinted at the receding dim light outside the door, raised his hand and gently pressed it on the old man's shriveled and thin shoulder.

"We have been old friends for so many years. Please tell me the truth. How long will it take?"

"It's only a few days."

"Then I'm waiting to see your final farewell scene, Mr. Ding."

Gu Jia strode forward with his back to Zhao Ding, an obscure smile flashing in his eyes.

The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk.

At this moment, only Zhao Ding was left in the huge Pao Ge Guild hall.

The old man wrapped his body tightly in a black cloak and raised his eyes to stare at the mighty statue of Guan Gong. He suddenly laughed mockingly and said to himself: "A reckless Zhang Fei wants to imitate the Second Master Guan? You idiot."
