Infernal Hero

Chapter 23 Love Seed

In this world, no tree can grow without deep soil.

Eighteen years ago, the second generation made a speech on their southern tour, calling on the whole country to speed up the pace of reform. The spring breeze of reform blows across the land of China from south to north. The four Gu Yufei brothers used the first bucket of gold they had smuggled to set up their first village-run enterprise in Wolongtang Village.

In the next few years, the village-run enterprises of Wolongtang Village developed rapidly under the blowing of this warm wind. Soon after, it transcended from a million to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Afterwards, it became famous and became a typical example of the provincial party committee's continuous reform and development. Over the past ten years, it had expanded from a million to ten billion. It had to be said that this was a miracle, but the person who created this miracle was not Brother Gu Yufei , but that era.

The so-called hero of the times was like this. At that time, the situation was over, and there were few heroes left who had borrowed the opportunity to rise. It was now the year 2010, and the era that belonged to Gu Yufei and the others had passed. The current Wolongtang Village was no longer as glorious as before, and the business kingdom that Gu Yufei had created was on the verge of bankruptcy. There was not much time left for Gu Tianyou to recover.

In front of the visiting window of Qinzhou Prison, Gu Tianyou handed the lighted cigarette to Miao Shifan .

Gu Tianyou: "I don't remember that you have the habit of smoking. Otherwise, I'll bring you a few when I come."

Miao Shifan : "After living alone for a long time, I unknowingly have some bad habits."

Gu Tianyou said, "This thing can relax the mind. It's not a bad habit for you."

Miao Shifan smiled indifferently, "You can enlighten me now that you've grown up."

Gu Tianyou sighed softly, "Teacher has had a few more white hairs these past few years, but he doesn't look old at all."

"Why did you suddenly think of coming to see me?" Miao Shifan 's gaze was sharp, as if it could pierce through the hearts of people.

"I'm in the Three Treasures Hall!" Gu Tianyou's expression was calm and straightforward.

Miao Shifan was very satisfied with Tianyou's frankness and nodded, "Tell me, what can a prisoner like me do for you?"

Gu Tianyou bluntly said, "Is Miao Ruolin , chairman of the board of directors of Haizhou Holdings, your niece?"

"I haven't contacted you for many years." Miao Shifan nodded and replied, "What's wrong? You need me to introduce you to her for something?"

"The Wolong Pond is going to collapse soon. Two years ago, I transferred all my shares to Su Xiazhu free of charge. Now, she is eager to pay her debts and is planning to sell her shares. One of the potential buyers is the Haizhou Group." "As far as I know, Haizhou Group belongs to Haizhou Holdings. It is the largest private economy in Haizhou City. If I remember correctly, Haizhou Holdings was founded by you alone," Gu Tianyou said straightforwardly.

"I was the one who created it, but in my hands, it is far from what it is today." Miao Shifan took a deep breath and said leisurely, "I have been here for many years, and the outside world has long since stopped interfering. The development of Haizhou Holdings in recent years is the result of the joint efforts of Ruo Lin and everyone in the group."

Gu Tianyou's words changed, "I won't say any more nonsense. One sentence, if you help me with this, I will help you save a person who is very important to you!"

"Someone important to me?" Miao Shifan was slightly stunned, then his expression suddenly changed. His gaze was so cold that it made people shiver.

Gu Tianyou ignored his gaze and continued to provoke him, "A person who has been hurt by you for many years, but who you miss and care about the most!"

"There is no such person in my memory." Miao Shifan snorted coldly as the duck's mouth hardened.

"One night many years ago, I read at your place late at night, I accidentally saw a story about Plato and his boyfriend, I asked you a few questions out of curiosity, but you were inexplicably enraged. At that time, your mind was completely deranged, and you changed as if you were a different person. You talked to me a lot, including some encounters that you don't like to be known to others. At that time, the name you mentioned the most was Geng Jianjun . "

Gu Tianyou said, "I remember you telling me that you and Uncle Geng lived together on a desolate island for three months."

Miao Shifan said coldly, "He was a comrade who escaped with me back then. Is there anything wrong with me mentioning him?"

"I didn't say anything wrong, but out of curiosity, I found your original unit through email as your student. After finding out that this person had returned to the countryside, I first worked in the 3512 Construction Machinery Plant of the Railway Administration for a few years …"

"Stop!" Miao Shifan 's eyebrows tightened and he suddenly extinguished the hot cigarette butt. He ignored the pain in his fingertips and said, "Tell me, what do you have in your hand?"

Gu Tianyou said, "This Uncle Geng encountered some trouble a while ago, but it hasn't been resolved yet. Maybe he will die."

"You want his life?" Miao Shifan suddenly smiled disdainfully and asked, "Do you know what kind of person he is?"

"Thirty-two years ago, he served in a special service company of a regiment directly under the Nanjiang Military Region. He was once a special warrior hero who made many contributions on the battlefield. He received a joint award from the three headquarters and even performed special merits. If it weren't for the three months he lived on the desolate island with you, he would probably be the youngest general by now."

Gu Tianyou said mockingly, "His only specialty is special warfare, but he is willing to give up his military career for you. Back then, after you left the army together, your career flourished, but he has fallen by leaps and bounds. Now, he is alone in front of the machinery factory of Wuzhong Railway Administration, repairing bicycles for people to make a living."

"He is a very casual person and it is not difficult for him to live a better life." Miao Shifan remained unmoved.

Gu Tianyou continued to mock, "He is indeed amazing. It's a pity that he mistook someone he shouldn't have loved. It doesn't count as destroying his entire life. Now, he has to risk his life to fight against the demolition team for a place that can block the wind and rain." As he spoke, he spread out a newspaper in front of Miao Shifan .

This was a copy of the Wu Zhong Daily the day before yesterday, and the front page carried this shocking news. The reconstruction of the old city triggered another violent dispute. Three people on the demolition side were seriously injured. Six people were missing, including two senior police officers. The suspects were still guarding the ruins. The Wu Zhong police intervened in the investigation and the hostages' safety was suspected.

The incident took place at the home area of a machinery factory in the 27th Bureau of Railway.

"He is 51 years old, alone, moving. Moving is a great thing for him to improve his living conditions. Guess why he refuses to move away?"

Miao Shifan 's face was deathly pale. He clenched his fists with both hands, and his knuckles glowed with white light due to excessive strength. In order to suppress the emotional impulses in his heart, he did not speak for a long time. He finally let out a long sigh and slowly said, "He's waiting for me. We agreed that if we were still alive by the time we were sixty, no matter how we lived or how the world criticized each other, we would all live together."

Gu Tianyou nodded. "At last you remember someone waiting for you, I'm sure you've guessed why he'd rather risk his life to fight than move away, It's because you're worried that you won't be able to find him that day. You've never allowed him to get close to your life for the sake of that little bit of fame. Every time you get together, you go and look for him. If you don't go, he'll always wait. From young to middle-aged, he's about to enter old age. But now, he's going to fight against the state apparatus that he swore to defend to the death for this. "

Gu Tianyou's tone was filled with mockery. The more Miao Shifan listened, the harder it was to restrain the excitement in his heart. He gritted his teeth and asked, "How is he now?"

"This Uncle Geng has committed a great crime. Fortunately, no one has died yet. I still have the confidence to save him." Gu Tianyou finally threw out his trump card.

"How did you know so much?" Miao Shifan believed most of it, but he was still puzzled.

"About you two, Of course I know from Uncle Geng, He lived alone, with almost no one, "I like to write down everything in my notebook. When I learned that Su Xiazhu was in contact with Haizhou Holdings, I immediately thought of you. Of course, I knew that you wouldn't agree to help me easily. Thinking of what you said to me back then, I found Uncle Geng and his diary with the mood of giving it a try. I didn't expect that he would encounter so much trouble."

"How can you make me believe that you are capable of helping him? Just because you are the illegitimate son of Gu Yufei who died four years ago?" He snorted softly and continued, "I don't need to look. I can imagine what kind of days you have spent in Wolong Pond these past few years." Miao Shifan 's eyes shone brightly as he continued, "Unless you are still living by Lord Long's side, but as far as I know, the old man should have completely forgotten everyone by now. I really can't think of any way you can get him to stand up for you."

This guy may be crazy, but he's also a medical genius who knows the world. Gu Tianyou had indeed tried to contact and visit Lord Long in the past few years, but he had never been able to do so. Lord Long was confused. His family and descendants were wary of Gu Tianyou, a young man from an unknown background in prison.

Gu Tianyou came prepared. If you don't convince him, "You know I was freer than most people when I lived here, So I often buy some smuggled goods for some prisoners, There used to be a prisoner named Sun Xiaodong at District D North, I helped him once, A year ago, he returned to his hometown of Wu Zhong after serving his sentence. Now, this person is one of the main leaders of the demolition team. In addition, Captain Zhao of the Criminal Police Brigade of Wu Zhong Municipal Bureau in charge of this case was actually transferred from Qinzhou. A few years ago, I started a small business and made a few official friends. Coincidentally, this Zhao Team has a good relationship with me. "

"How do you plan to save him?"

"So we've already agreed on the terms."

Miao Shifan said, "You can go now. If you haven't lost your life, the matter can still be reversed. You can rescue him and bring him here. If he is already dead and there is no way to change the situation, please arrange for him to leave this country for me. Besides, I don't want anyone else to know about this matter."

Gu Tianyou nodded and said, "I have a trustworthy friend who has some connections in Indonesia. There are also channels at sea. It won't be a problem to arrange for him to go abroad. The final question is that he is now unreasonable. What can I do to convince him that I am helping him?"

"I've been regretting not choking you to death that year." Miao Shifan 's gaze was like a knife as he stared fiercely at Tianyou. He was still furious that that secret in his heart had been discovered for so many year. He sighed for a long time and said, "when I came in, there was a special knife in my personal effects list. If you show it to him, he will believe you. Paused for a moment and finally said," you know what you shouldn't know. I hope you can keep it a secret for us. "
