Leaving a Way Out
Third Master Wu was very clear that his status in Zhejiang had reached the peak. No matter how hard he tried, he could not go further. The cake was only so big. If he wanted to eat more, he could only rob others. However, the other forces were not paper tigers, such as the Old Monk, the Dugu Family, Boss Hu, and so on. Who would be willing to give up their interests?
Therefore, Third Master Wu had been living in peace with those forces, especially his biggest rival, the Old Monk. They minded their own business. Even if there were conflicts, they would solve them peacefully.
Moreover, the biggest knot in Third Master Wu's heart was that he had left Shanghai in a mess. Therefore, he always thought that he could go back to Shanghai someday, which could be regarded as fulfilling his dream. Otherwise, he would have some regrets.
Now, he finally had such an opportunity to cooperate with the Yan Family. With the support of the forces in Sijiu City, it was not a dream for him to go back to Shanghai. It was just a matter of time.
However, it had never occurred to him that the old monk would give him a fatal blow at this time, making him unable to take care of himself when his backyard was on fire. The old monk's timing was extremely accurate. Third Master Wu had no choice but to face it. Otherwise, not to mention that Shanghai might be affected, even his base camp might suffer heavy losses.
No matter how perfect the Old Monk's timing was, Third Master Wu could not figure out why the Old Monk suddenly made things difficult for him. What was his purpose? Who was supporting him? It was impossible for him to do this for no reason.
Therefore, Third Master Wu was going to contact the Old Monk to see if there was any misunderstanding. As long as it could be solved peacefully, it did not matter even if he lost some interests. Anyway, his current focus was on Shanghai.
The reason why Luo Changgong rushed over from Hangzhou was that he wanted to discuss this matter with his Foster Father face to face. The other foster sons did not come, but they all told Luo Changgong their thoughts and suggestions. Luo Changgong just needed to tell his Foster Father. At this time, they could not leave, because they had to face the Old Monk.
Some people could not bear it. They wanted Third Master Wu to transfer all the people back and deal with the Old Monk first. After that, they would deal with the Old Monk in Shanghai. After all, Zhejiang was their base camp. Some people suggested that they should have a good talk with the Old Monk. In this era, there was no need to be tit-for-tat, which would not benefit anyone. Third Master Wu had the same idea.
Third Master Wu chose the second option.
At this moment, there were only Chu Sikong, Luo Changgong, and Yang Deng by Third Master Wu's side. He asked Chu Sikong to call the Old Monk directly. He wanted to have a talk with the Old Monk on the phone. If the conversation went well, they could solve the problem face-to-face later. Anyway, he wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible.
After Chu Sikong heard the Old Monk's order, he immediately used Third Master Wu's mobile phone to call the Old Monk. It was the Old Monk's housekeeper who answered the phone. He refused Chu Sikong directly without any consideration for the Old Monk's feelings. Chu Sikong was quite surprised. The Old Monk did not show him any respect at all.
After Chu Sikong came back, he said with an embarrassed look, "Third Master, the old monk refused to talk to you. He said it was unnecessary and that you could speak with your strength."
After Third Master Wu heard that, he finally could not restrain his anger. He said angrily, "What? That old bald donkey really is going too far! "
Third Master Wu was not the only one who was surprised. Luo Changgong was also shocked. This was not the Old Monk's style. Even though they used to be rivals, they got along well with each other later on. The Old Monk had a good relationship with his Foster Father. It was impossible that he would not show respect to Third Master Wu.
Yang Deng was also quite displeased. The Old Monk was so rude.
As soon as his Foster Father gave the order, Yang Deng dared to stand in front of the Old Monk immediately to help his Foster Father solve the problem.
"Foster Father, what should we do now?" Luo Changgong was also somewhat at a loss. The Old Monk did not play according to the routine, which caught them unprepared. If they continued to be bullied like this, they would only lose more benefits.
Luo Changgong said immediately, "Foster Father, if the Old Monk really wants to fight to the death, we should not just swallow our anger. We should shed all pretenses of cordiality with him. Let's see who will give in and leave in the end. At that time, we will take care of the situation in Shanghai."
Third Master Wu shook his head and said, "No. If we keep entangling with him, when will we be able to win? What we lack most in Shanghai is time. Time waits for no man. This is not something that we can decide. There are too many aspects involved. "
Luo Changgong felt a little confused and said, "Foster Father, what should we do? Our strength does not allow us to act separately. We can only choose one side."
Third Master Wu was lost in thought. After thinking for a long time, he made a decision and said, "You go back to Hangzhou now and visit the Old Monk in person. It will be best if you can buy some time or figure out his purpose. It will be better if you can let him meet me. At that time, I will go back to Hangzhou to talk with him."
Since Third Master Wu had given the order, Luo Changgong did not have a good solution. He could only say, "OK. Foster Father, I will go back now and try to meet the Old Monk. If he refuses to see me, I will discuss with you."
After saying that, Luo Changgong directly walked out of the old foreign-style house and was ready to go back to Hangzhou. Yang Deng walked him out. On the horse road outside the old foreign-style house, Luo Changgong said in a low voice, "Yang Deng, I will go back now. Take care of my Foster Father in Shanghai. If anything happens, we can contact each other at any time."
Yang Deng nodded quietly and said, "OK, I know. You should also pay attention to your safety."
Luo Changgong thought of that thing. He hesitated for a while and asked, "Have you met Qin Sheng?"
Luo Changgong knew why his Foster Father came to Shanghai and why he got involved with the Yan Family. It was all because of Qin Sheng's return. As for those things about Qin Sheng, Luo Changgong had already known more or less. He felt lucky that he had made a choice at that time, which could be regarded as leaving a way out for himself. Otherwise, the consequences would be unbearable.
Therefore, Luo Changgong was a person who valued friendship and righteousness and was loyal to his character. Without him, there would be no Qin Sheng. Maybe it would be another situation.
Luo Changgong said thoughtfully, "No matter what, you are friends after all. Although you are in different positions now, you are still friends."
Yang Deng said thoughtfully, "We are even now. We don't owe each other anything. If he does something bad to you in the future when we meet, I will not hesitate to take action."
Luo Changgong was not as simple as he looked. The human mind was unpredictable. Moreover, people were selfish. Luo Changgong had thought about many things. He could only remind Yang Deng, "Yang Deng, don't think things are simple. Don't you think it is a little strange that the Old Monk suddenly chose this time to attack us? Think about it. The Yan Family turned to my Foster Father and the Old Monk at the same time. My Foster Father chose the Yan Family again, but the Old Monk directly refused. Now he attacked us again. Don't you think it is very strange? Why didn't Qin Sheng attack the Old Monk? But now he wants to settle the score with us. Is there Qin Sheng behind the Old Monk this time? "
After Luo Changgong finished his words, Yang Deng was directly lost in thought. He had to admit that Luo Changgong had guessed right. He connected all the things to analyze the logic in it, instead of considering one thing only. Maybe he was just a blind cat running into a dead mouse, but many things were mutually logical.
Yang Deng did not say anything. Luo Changgong continued, "Yang Deng, Qin Sheng is not the same as before.
We don't know how powerful Qin Sheng is at all, because he is beyond our level. So sometimes we need to leave a way out for ourselves. Don't be too stiff with Qin Sheng. If one day, I mean if, you can also ignore me. If Yifu Tian really falls in front of Qin Sheng, you and I are the only ones who have a way out in the whole circle. So you have to think more about it. "
"If my Foster Father dies in Qin Sheng's hands, I will definitely avenge him," Yang Deng said firmly. His Foster Father had done so much for him that he could not ignore it.
Luo Changgong smiled bitterly and said, "Yang Deng, you are my brother. I am telling you these things. I don't treat you as an outsider. If it were someone else, he might betray me in the blink of an eye. But you definitely won't. As I said, it's my business. It's up to you how you choose. To say the least, Qin Sheng should seek revenge from my Foster Father. This is what my Foster Father owes Qin Sheng. As for you seeking revenge from Qin Sheng, it's up to you. I won't stop you or get involved. Anyway, I won't seek revenge. "
This was the difference between Luo Changgong and Yang Deng. Luo Changgong was more rational and mature. He and Third Master Wu were more like business partners. Yang Deng and Third Master Wu were more like father and son. This was also the reason why Third Master Wu liked Yang Deng so much.
Yang Deng still did not say anything. Maybe he was thinking about the relationship between them. Luo Changgong did not waste any time. He was afraid that others would think too much. He patted Yang Deng's shoulder and said, "Think about it carefully. I won't say anything else. It's up to you how you choose. I'll go back first."
After Luo Changgong got in the car and left, Yang Deng was still thinking about what he should choose when the day came. Even if he went to seek revenge from Qin Sheng, could he really get revenge?
In the old-style foreign-style house, Third Master Wu and Chu Sikong were still talking about this. Third Master Wu hoped that Chu Sikong could help him analyze and figure out the relationship between them.
Chu Sikong analyzed and said earnestly, "There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The old monk's sudden attack this time is too strange. There must be some other forces supporting him. Otherwise, the old monk would not have acted rashly."
Third Master Wu frowned and said, "You're right.
You are right. It is impossible for the old fox to take action casually. If he does so, he will not get any benefits at all. It is very likely that he will ride on someone's coattails. I will try my best to sound him out first. If he still does not give in, I can only ask the Yan Family to help me. "
Chu Sikong nodded silently and said, "We can only do this now." But then he said, "Do you think it is possible that Qin Sheng is playing tricks? I mean, is it possible? After all, we have to think of all possibilities. "
Chu Sikong's words seemed to enlighten Third Master Wu. Third Master Wu's expression changed instantly and he said nothing. After a long time, Third Master Wu shook his head directly and said, "It's impossible. It is impossible. The old guy also offended Qin Sheng. It will be fine if Qin Sheng does not make trouble for him. How can they cooperate? Moreover, Qin Sheng still has to worry that the old monk will make trouble for him. At worst, Qin Sheng will seek reconciliation with the old monk, just like how he sought reconciliation with me. How can the old monk help Qin Sheng to deal with me? It is not that the old monk doesn't know how much it will cost him. How can he make such a losing deal? Qin Sheng does not have enough benefits to exchange for it. "
After Third Master Wu finished his analysis, Chu Sikong nodded silently and said, "You are right. It is indeed impossible. I can only guess. I hope it is not the case."
Third Master Wu did not speak anymore. He had to wait quietly for a while and think carefully about what was going on. What went wrong?
It never occurred to him that the most impossible possibility would become a possibility in the end.
