Reckless Youth of Delinquency

In the forest bar, Ergou was holding a cigar in his mouth, and there was a circle of gangsters sitting around him. Everyone looked at him respectfully and said unpleasant flattery. Ergou actually enjoyed it and kept laughing. A busty woman sat on Ergou's lap and tried her best to make Ergou happy. "Brother Ergou, I will just hang out with you from now on..."

"Hahaha..." Ergou still laughed: "Don't worry, this circle will belong to me sooner or later. You just need to follow me..."

Before he could finish his words, a fist hit him on the cheek. Although Ye Zhan is not very good at fighting, he still has no problem beating up two dogs with one punch. The two dogs were beaten so hard that they fell over. The men and women at the table were all frightened, and the busty woman stood aside trembling. Ye Zhan grabbed Ergou by the collar and dragged him up to the second floor in full view of everyone. When he came to my office, Ye Zhan and I gave him a set of mixed doubles. Ergou bounced on the wall like a ping-pong ball. Ergou had a bruised nose and face, a bloody head, and finally fell to the ground. He was dying, spitting blood and froth from his mouth, as if he was about to die.

But Ye Zhan and I have a measured approach and will definitely not beat him to death.

"Do you know where you went wrong?" Ye Zhan patted his head and said, "Does the drug trafficker still keep such a high profile because he thinks he has lived too long? You have been hanging out with Torpedo for so long and haven't learned anything from him. Benefits? Are you afraid that others won’t know that you are a drug dealer?”

Ergou grumbled a few times in his throat, as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out. I looked at him and said, "Hit him again until he loses his memory." Ye Zhan picked up the two dogs again, punched and kicked him until he was in the sky and on the ground. Ye Zhan was tired from beating him, Ergou lay on the ground again, and blood was everywhere in the office.

I said slowly: "What you have today is all because of the two of us. Don't give me some sunshine, okay? If the other three front lines were as arrogant as you, they would have died hundreds of times, you know?" Do you know how many police officers have come to question you in the past few days?"

For the anti-drug brigade, small shrimps like the fifth and fourth lines are not worth catching. From the third line and up, there are big fish. Catching one can make a meritorious service. Last time, Li Xuetao caught a torpedo and was commended by his superiors. He was immediately promoted to squad leader, was awarded an advanced award, appeared in newspapers and on TV, and lectured on his heroic experiences everywhere. It can be said that he has a bright future. So, if I hadn't been here to protect a third-line man as arrogant as Ergou, he would have been shot eight hundred times. So even if I didn’t scold him or hit him, it would be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart.

"Haha, what am I afraid of?" Ergou suddenly said leisurely: "Brother Hao is protecting me."

"What did you say?!" I immediately opened my eyes. I didn't expect Ergou to dare to talk to me like this.

Ye Zhan was also stunned and looked at Ergou in disbelief. Ergou stood up slowly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, looked at me and Ye Zhan and said, "Brother Hao, Brother Ye, I know I won't live long, so I take advantage of this time to enjoy it."

Ye Zhan and I looked shocked. Because Ergou looked stupid, I always thought he was the kind of donkey who keeps moving forward with a piece of carrot hanging on him. Unexpectedly, he actually... I heard Ergou continue to say: "I often think about how a loser like me can , with just one sentence from Teacher Liu, can he be so highly praised by the first and second masters of Chengnan?"

The first boss refers to me, and the second boss refers to Ye Zhan. This is also a popular saying in the underworld in the south of the city.

"Of course, I believed it at first. You said you would help me, but you would not take me with you personally. I have been on the fourth line and am very satisfied. But you are not satisfied yet, so you are driving me forward. I suddenly discovered that this is much more difficult than taking me around in person. You have put so much effort into it, probably not just to help me get ahead. I can’t guess what you are thinking, but I am sure you have ulterior motives. When I saw Brother Torpedo is behind bars, and suddenly foresees his own consequences..."

Speaking of this, Ergou smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "As a pawn, you think too much..."

He raised his head, but his eyes were clearly filled with tears.

Ye Zhan and I looked at each other again. It turns out that Ergou is not as stupid as we thought. Ergou gently wiped his tears and said: "I have had no father since I was a child. I have a weak brain, cannot study well, and have no skills. I can hardly do anything. I have no choice but to join the underworld. But I don't know how to join the underworld. When it comes to fighting, he is not as ruthless as others. After fooling around, he goes to sell ecstasy pills. He sells more than a dozen pills in one night. The big head is given to Brother Shengli and the small head is kept by himself. Although it only costs a few hundred yuan a month, it is still The income from my labor and my mother’s medicine money will be settled.”

My heart was shocked, and my impression of Ergou seemed to have changed a little.

"Brother Hao, do you still remember the night we met?" Ergou exhaled and said, "Teacher Liu came to me and insisted on taking me home. I can't go back, I haven't earned any money today. Later. I was forced to go home and saw my mother lying on the bed. The medicine jar was empty. I thought to myself, no, I have to leave, and then I climbed through the window and ran away overnight. Then, you and Brother Ye appeared. , first helped me beat up Wu Shengli, and then helped me take away his fourth-line position. At that time, I thought, you two are really the noble people in my life. Even if I am smashed to pieces, I still want to repay you two. Again. Later, I made more and more money and my status became higher and higher, but I felt more and more wrong. You have worked too hard on me..."

"What kind of people are you? You speak your mind in the south of the city, are respected by thousands of people, and take care of everything every day, but you waste your energy and time on me... Even if Teacher Liu has a great reputation, it is enough for you to do this, but you He has no intention of giving up and keeps pushing me forward and forward. Even with my eyes closed, I know that there is a cliff ahead of me!"

My heart tightened. I tried all my tricks and planned every step, figuring out how to take each step, figuring out how to hook the torpedo, and figuring out how to let the fire head fall into the pit, but I never considered Ergou's feelings. In my eyes, Ergou is just a pawn. Chess pieces shouldn't have thoughts, but Ergou just does. When a chess piece starts to think, the entire plan begins to collapse.

As long as one of the two dogs is unwilling, all our efforts over the past month and a half will be in vain.

Just listen to Ergou say again: "Of course, since I followed Brother Hao and Brother Ye, I have made money that I have never made before, and gained a status that I never dreamed of before. If it weren't for you two, I would probably still be Under Wu Shengli, I would be a bad boy selling ecstasy pills, waiting to be beaten to death at any time. Sometimes I think, you two have given me glory, money, and status, so what does it matter if you let me die? I said In order to repay the kindness of the two of you, I will not hesitate to smash my body and brains to death!"

Ergou's voice suddenly became louder and he said seriously: "So, don't worry, Brother Hao, I will continue to do this and move forward step by step according to your plan. I have no other requirements. , I just hope that after I die, Brother Hao can help me take care of my seriously ill mother at home!" After saying that, he bowed to me, then turned around and left.

In the office, only Ye Zhan and I were left, as well as scattered blood on the ground.

"What do you think?" I asked Ye Zhan.

"Well, it's really troublesome for a pawn to have thoughts. However, it's rare that he is so loyal and has done a lot for us. It doesn't hurt to save his life."

"Okay." Ye Zhan's thoughts coincided with mine. Immediately, I called Pang Guohong and proposed to develop Ergou into an informant. "It won't work if we don't do this." I said, "Paper can't stop the fire. Ergou vaguely guessed something about the last torpedo incident. If we don't give him some promises, I'm afraid he won't be willing to move forward."

"Okay." Pang Guohong said, "Then you tell him. From now on, he will be counted as guilty and meritorious. The greater the merit, the smaller the sentence will be in the future, and it is even possible to be acquitted. If he is not willing to do it again , then I’ll catch him now.”

After getting Pang Guohong's promise, I met Ergou again the next day. This time, Ye Zhan and I were both here and told him our plan in detail.

"The ultimate goal is to kill the dwarf mule." When he said this, Ergou couldn't help but trembled again, completely different from his heroic appearance yesterday. Ergou wiped his sweat and said, "Brother Hao, Brother Ye, don't worry, I will definitely work hard."

Ergou began to contact Huotou diligently. But Huotou, Director Ma's other identity, has no interest in things other than trading. Thinking about it, in addition to his own job, Director Ma also spends money like water in the gold house. Drug trafficking is just a channel for him to make money, so he has no time to communicate with his subordinates. Therefore, Huotou is always cold towards Ergou. No matter how outstanding Ergou's performance is, Huotou has no reaction at all. Ergou wants the goods, Huotou supplies them, that's it.

It's definitely not going to work like this. I also hope that Ergou can replace Huotou's second-tier status. If Huotou is so isolated from others, there is almost no chance. It seems that we still have to find another way. Huotou's other identity, Director Ma, often goes to the Golden House to gamble, so maybe we can start from this aspect. The most important thing now is to get Ergou and Huotou familiar with each other as soon as possible so that they can learn about Nan Caishen's information from the side. I made a series of plans to continue to integrate the two dogs.

"Remember, a plan is just a plan. Plans can never keep up with changes. You have to make adjustments at any time based on the other party's reaction!"

While I was busy dealing with Huotou, I did not give up on continuing to communicate with the short mule, and I still maintained the rhythm of getting together with him every three days. The dwarf mule trusts me more and more, and will come to the south of the city to play with me.
