Chapter 71
Teng Cuo was not in a good mood for the next few days.
He didn't tell Mr. Chen about the conversation with Yesheng. He hid the phone Yesheng gave him outside the house. He found an empty bird's nest in a tree and put the phone in.Charging is actually not a problem, it can be done in the laboratory, but he didn't take the risk.After that, I went back and forth between the residence and the laboratory at two o'clock and one line as usual, and was occasionally pulled by Chen Zhong and Chen Liang to play in Mr. Chen's yard together.
After the sunrise time in early winter, the light of the rising sun was held in the palm of the hand.His palm lines are very shallow, and there is a bloody indentation under the soft white skin, which comes from the sharp bamboo piece that he snapped off from the mat pattern wall.He had no other weapons in the village, and the bamboo slices were just under his pillow, and Teng Cuo would hold them in his palms when he slept.
Lan Die hadn't come back from outside yet, Teng Cuo had no sugar, and was smoking when he walked into Mr. Chen's yard.Little taro stood guard at the gate of the courtyard, and Teng Cuo greeted him, and this time he did not remember the wrong person's name again.
He always greeted people with a smile, and his full lips were slightly pursed in an incongruous way, although that was not his intention.But in fact Teng Cuo is very nervous, Ye Sheng's mysterious existence and his seemingly pervasive power are stuck in Teng Cuo's back like a pillow.
Mr. Chen was at the door of the house, holding his cane, watching Teng Cuo approaching.
"Mr. Chen," Teng Cuo stood on the lower steps, "You are looking for me?"
Mr. Chen nodded and said, "I need you to do something."
There is a hotel in Yiwei Town called Chilin Inn, and Mr. Chen asked Teng Cuo to go there to tie a person back.
Teng Cuo raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay."
He didn't ask why he was tied up, and he didn't ask why he was the one to go. Once Mr. Chen's order was given, the subordinates could only carry it out.But Mr. Chen may be really unusual to him, saying: "Originally, this should be the task of Lan Die, but she is meeting someone in the north, and the only person who can go now is you."
He leaned slightly and said, "The person I want you to tie back is a policeman."
Teng Cuo didn't move, just frowned slightly and nodded.
Mr. Chen also remained motionless, and said: "Hou Weikang's incident is a wake-up call. The garden is no longer as clean as before. I got the news that the border police recently entered Yiwei Town and stayed at the Chilin Inn. We I don’t know his name, but the purpose of this person’s arrival is to discuss, and his accomplices are currently lurking in Zhongliang Village.”
The palm of his hand was tingling, just in case, Teng Cuo had already gently held the bamboo piece in his trouser pocket.
"I want to live," Mr. Chen said slowly, "little fault, bring him back, I want to have a trial myself."
This is to clean up the door. Teng Cuo was noncommittal and said: "Understood."
Mr. Chen still stared into Teng Cuo's eyes, and then he smiled, as if satisfied with Teng Cuo's unrelenting attitude.
"I believe in you," he said.
Teng Cuo also smiled, it was a confident expression.
The jeep was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and Mr. Chen and Teng Cuo walked over together.
"Chilin Inn, room 306," Mr. Chen handed him the blindfold himself, and said, "Bring him back alive."
Teng Cuo nodded and got into the car.There were only three people in the car, and a bodyguard sat in the co-pilot, also blindfolded.
They were going from the mountains to the town. Although the distance gradually decreased along the way, the bumps were still severe.Teng Cuo asked halfway, and unfortunately there was no chewing gum in the car.
"Your driving skills are too bad," Teng Cuo fumbled to find the button, and said to the driver while lowering the window, "I'm really going to throw up."
The driver was very cold and didn't answer.
Teng Cuo poked his head out of the window, the wind had officially started to cool down, making people linger on the edge of shrinking their necks.The shouts suddenly became fierce, and the air smelled of gasoline, as if another car passed by.The tip of Teng Cuo's nose moved slightly, and he could always smell the strong smell of grass and trees, which means that they are still in the mountains
On the surface, he looked as if he had fallen asleep with his arms propped up, but in fact, he had been identifying the location by his sense of smell, and found that they hadn't gone back after leaving the mountain forest, which meant that at least there was no detour after leaving the mountain.But after arriving at the place, Teng took a look at his watch by mistake and found that the time was two hours longer than when he entered the village.
The setting sun has completely set in the west, and the distant sky is full of dazzling clouds.
There was a handbag in the trunk, which opened to reveal two pistols and a roll of string.Teng Cuo checked it. There were not a lot of bullets in the gun, and the rope was strong enough.
"Just follow me," he said to the bodyguard, putting the pistol in his back, "be smart and don't hold me back."
He thought about it all the way, and now he has figured it out.Perhaps it was preconceived, but he felt that Ye Sheng was right, it was Mr. Chen's temptation.The linker has been so accurately located, but the inner ghost has not yet shown up, which is very strange.Moreover, domestic control is strict. Since 1990, the anti-drug force has become even more extraordinary. No matter how powerful and rich the drug-related groups are, they will not take the initiative to provoke the police.
His current best choice is to fully execute Mr. Chen's orders. This is a risky move, just like what happened to Ye Sheng.But Teng Cuo has been gambling most of the time along the way, driven by instinct to do things. This is where Teng Cuo is crazy and arrogant.
Although the Chilin Inn ends with the two classic words "inn", it is extremely modern and the largest building in Yiwei Town. Even the glass windows are bulletproof.It is open 24 hours a day, and does not rest with the coming of night or holidays. Although there are only five floors, the entire exterior wall is painted with shiny gold paint, and you can smell the smell of money before entering.
It is indeed the place with the fastest cash flow in the town, and even on the entire southwestern border.Teng walked in by mistake, looked around, and understood the meaning of its name.
Chi Lin Chi Lin, wine pool meat forest.
This is a paradise on earth for drunkards and criminals. The first floor is not like a hotel lobby, but a huge casino.Gambling tables are all over the place, cigarettes, cigars and all kinds of drugs release white smoke at the same time, filling the air above the din of voices.There is a constant supply of fine wine and food at the bar. Waiters and scantily clad men and women are walking around, looking for their next target or customer. The simple private room is separated by thick velvet curtains. Teng mistakenly heard groans, and Smells of marijuana smoke.
There is no law in Yiwei Town, and many people live in gray, but here is the black that has been upgraded.Criminality is brought straight to the fore, with gamblers, drug addicts and drug dealers, sex workers, rich people who come to have fun, you name it.
Teng Cuo walked quickly through the filth and went up the stairs to the third floor.There are no windows in the stairs, but the air is much cleaner than in the hall.The electric light was bright, and Teng Cuo suddenly felt a little bit.
He looked up and saw a tall man around the corner.The suit was worn by the man with a different aura, with smoke between his long fingers, the thick fog dispersed, Xiao Guo looked over with deep eyes, with a heat that made Teng Cuo's heart palpitate.
Or maybe he was calm, and the heat was Teng Cuo's own imagination.
The two walked towards each other, stepping on Teng Cuo's heart with every step.His hands were in his pockets, and his legs hurt from scratching, trying to reach for the gun behind his waist.
Xiao Guo was condescending, and saw Teng Cuo's trembling long eyelashes, his lips parted slightly, and his breath melted into the tacit words between them.Xiao Guo understood this expression, he knew that Teng Cuo was scared.
Teng Cuo was indeed afraid.
The moment he saw Xiao Guo, all his reasoning and plans that he thought were unshakable were blown to pieces.This matter was either Mr. Chen's temptation, or it was true. The connector came, it was the police, it was Xiao Guo.
It's Xiao Guo!
What should he do, running might be a good choice, draw the gun now, kill the bodyguard behind him easily, then run with Xiao Guo, go out and kill the driver to grab the car, drive all the way across the boundary marker, and return to the country will be safe.That's all.
At this time, Teng Cuo once again realized his inability to control his emotions, but he couldn't calm down immediately.In fact, it doesn't matter, he thought frantically, it doesn't matter if the task is not completed.He didn't want to die, let alone Xiao Guo, Xiao Guo couldn't fall into Mr. Chen's hands.If Xiao Guo died, he would commit suicide... But he still doesn't know who Ye Sheng is, and why, why Xiao Guo appeared here——
The extremely chaotic thoughts swirled in Xiao Guo's eyes, and they stopped abruptly at will.Teng wrongly saw that Xiao Guo nodded lightly to himself.
Just one, just one, enough.Regardless of the cause and effect, no matter what Xiao Guo knows or doesn't know, he is still the safety pin that Teng Cuo holds firmly in his palm.With lightning-like gazes meeting, Teng Zai's fast heartbeat can be slowed down. Among all the people in the world, only Xiao Guo has this ability.
so amazing.
Teng Cuo and Xiao Guo passed by, he took a deep breath, struggled to identify the second-hand smoke, and vaguely smelled Xiao Guo's body.He closed his eyes slightly, feeling that his life was alive at this moment.
When he reached the third floor, Teng Cuo glanced down casually. Xiao Guo had already disappeared, so he should have gone to the first floor.The corridor was wide, the chandeliers were heavy, and the layout was similar to that of a hotel. Teng mistakenly found room 306, gestured to the bodyguard, and both of them drew their guns.
He leaned against the door and listened for a few seconds, then took a step back and rang the doorbell.
There are no peepholes on the doors here, and a male voice inside asked, "Who is there?"
Teng Cuo breathed a sigh of relief calmly, he didn't recognize the voice, and there were people in the room, which meant that this was not Xiao Guo's room.
Anyway, if it was a kidnapping, it would have to be head-to-head in the end. Teng Cuo didn't answer, and rang the doorbell again.The people in the room asked a few more times, and finally opened the door.
Teng Cuo kicked the door panel the moment the door opened, the door bounced open, and the overhead light inside was on.Teng mistakenly pointed his gun at the man behind the door and said, "Don't move!"
The man inside showed a surprised expression. Teng Cuo had never seen him before, and the man looked at him as if he knew him.The standoff was brief as the man reacted quickly and tried to grab the wrong gun.
Teng Cuo didn't expect the sensitivity of this person's resistance. He was not good at close combat. When he turned sideways, the opponent grabbed his wrist and slammed into the door frame hard.These few blows seemed to smash his bones, but without any rules, Teng Cuo was almost sure that the opponent was not a formally trained person.
Teng Cuo's forearm was severely injured, and he screamed in pain, but his seemingly soft fingers did not let go of the gun, and hit the man's forehead with the butt of the gun.The man took a few steps back briefly, Teng Cuo went up and twisted his arm, but was thrown away by him, and quickly strangled Teng Cuo's neck tightly with his arms.
This man was very strong. He pinched Teng Cuo's neck with one hand, and wrapped his hand around Teng Cuo's ear with the other.This was an action intended to break his cervical spine. The two men were almost identical in size, and the bodyguard who followed into the room held up their guns and dared not fire.
"Don't..." Teng Cuo said with difficulty at this moment, and said to the bodyguard: "Don't, don't... shoot..."
This startled the man who was clamping him, but Teng Cuo's elbow hit his ribs between the hem, and at the same time he raised his foot and kicked the man's calf.Taking advantage of him bending over, Teng Cuo suddenly raised his right shoulder, passed the hand holding the gun through the man's armpit, and threw the man over his shoulder.He then got on one knee and locked the man's throat with his knee, and the gun was switched to his left hand.
"Don't move," he gasped and pressed the gun to the man's forehead, and said hoarsely, "Don't play dead...I want to live."
His snow-white face was flushed from the chokehold just now, and his eyes were bloodshot.The man didn't dare to struggle any more, Teng mistakenly snapped his fingers, calling for the bodyguards to come and tie him up.
The room was divided into inside and out, and the bedroom door, which had been closed just now, was slammed open when the bodyguard took out the rope.Mr. Chen came out, followed by Lan Die and two bodyguards.
The walking stick lightly struck the ground and sank into the carpet without making any sound.The blood red was fading from Teng Cuo's face, and there were still pinch marks on his neck.
Mr. Chen smiled at Shang Teng Cuo's ugly face.
Teng Cuo's chest was still heaving, and he was still kneeling on the man's throat on the ground, looking a little hurt with his downcast eyes.The bodyguard who came with him obviously didn't know about this arrangement before, and his expression was very dull. Mr. Chen glanced at it before hurriedly retracting his gun.
"Little mistake," Mr. Chen said approvingly, "You really didn't disappoint me."
Teng Cuo didn't answer him, and continued to look at the bodyguard on the ground who was about to be overwhelmed by him, and said, "One of our own?"
The bodyguard had difficulty breathing, lay on his back, and nodded with difficulty.Teng Cuo loosened his leg, but in the next second he hit him hard on the cheekbone with the butt of his gun.
There was almost the sound of bones breaking in the room, and the bodyguard yelled in pain and rolled half a circle on the ground.Teng Cuo watched coldly, and kicked when he stood up.
He hated iron for being weak and said: "My own people still hit such a heavy hand?"
Then he put the gun back on his back, and supported his right wrist, where he was dragged and slammed against the door frame just now, and there were several horizontal bruises.The bodyguard covered his face, and the cry fell, still too painful to speak.
Mr. Chen understood Teng Cuo's anger, and could see that he was pointing fingers and scolding Huai.But Mr. Chen was not angry. Instead, he showed a distressed expression and said, "Little fault, I have wronged you."
Teng Cuo looked at him and shook his head.
"Resentment?" Mr. Chen seemed to be talking to a younger generation who had lost his temper, and said, "Everyone is the same. Foreigners are not eligible to directly enter Zhongliang Village, let alone Hou Weikang. Lan Die is the same as you, Of course, I've always had faith in you two."
Lan Die stood behind Mr. Chen, still wearing the clothes she wore when she left the village.Of course she will successfully pass this test of loyalty, she is very calm at the moment, silently looking at Mr. Chen, and seems to agree with Mr. Chen's approach.
"No resentment." Teng Cuo was still rubbing his arms. He was very smart and would not pretend that nothing happened at this time.He maintained his sharp and rebellious demeanor, admitting: "I should listen to you, but I'm not very happy."
When he said this, Mr. Chen believed it.Mr. Chen smiled, patted Teng Cuo on the shoulder, and said, "Calm down."
Teng Cuo raised his eyebrows and said, "No gas."
"Don't be distracted by the episode," Mr. Chen said, stroking the spider on the stick, "I want you to come to Yiwei, because I really have to do things."
Teng Cuo was a little surprised, and put away his attitude.
He proved himself loyal and could do something for Mr. Chen outside the stockade.Mr. Chen wanted to buy a batch of machines for purifying heroin, and made an appointment to trade them at the Chilin Inn in four days.This is Teng Cuo's special session, and he will be responsible for inspecting and receiving the goods.
"I'll leave it to you these few days," Mr. Chen said, "the room will not be returned, so you can rest and have fun. Forget about stress, work and rest."
Teng wrong laughed and said thank you.
Lan Die told Teng Cuo the details of receiving the goods four days later, and there will be bodyguards to help at that time. Fifteen minutes later, Mr. Chen left Chilin Inn with Lan Die and three bodyguards.Teng Cuo stood by the window of Room 15 and watched them drive away.
He tidied up the clothes that had become messy from the fight just now, and pulled the rubber band to let down his hair.He stood at the door for a while, slowly drying his sweaty palms.
Then he went down to the first floor. This place is indeed a place full of pornography, gambling and drugs. It is almost midnight now, and the place is still crowded with people.Teng Cuo squeezed through the crowd, rejected countless salesmen or people trying to strike up a conversation with his eyes or gestures, and found a seat at the bar.
The view here is very good, Teng Cuo looked around, and saw Xiao Guo on a card table not far away.

Thanks for watching.
