The next day, Xiguan Town.
When Wang Laohu saw Gao Qi, he was very respectful. When he saw Huang Fei, he was even more respectful, because he knew who gave him his current status and wealth.
"Do you understand what I told you?"
Wang Laohu nodded repeatedly, then said with a serious face, "I understand."
"What do you understand?"
Wang Laohu was stunned for a moment, then he said in a low voice, "I don't understand. Actually, I don't understand anything."
Huang Fei said angrily, "I say, why are you so muddle-headed? I told you to say it, so just say it!"
Wang Laohu said softly, "I only know one thing. I arranged for a thousand people to shoot into the sky outside the salt mine, and then I reported to the city that the Mutual Relief Association was attacking. I don't know anything else."
Huang Fei frowned and said, "If I say you're smart, you're really smart. But if I say you're stupid, you're really stupid. Do you think you can hide this?"
"I don't know if I can hide it or not, but I know that this definitely has nothing to do with Group Leader Huang."
Huang Fei waved his hand and said, "No, I was the one who ordered this. Someone will definitely investigate in the future. It doesn't matter. You can openly say that you sent people to impersonate the Mutual Relief Association, and that your report was also fake. I was the one who ordered it."
Wang Laohu couldn't help but grin and say with a bitter smile, "Fei Ge, I … I …"
Wang Laohu's wish was very simple. He wanted to live a good life without worrying about food and clothing. He wanted to live a good life. Even if he didn't live in the city, he could live in the wilderness. In any case, he couldn't be an ordinary person.
The tragedy of a nobody was that they had to figure out the thoughts of those above them, but they were afraid that they would be wrong.
Therefore, Wang Laohu was really in a difficult position now. When he couldn't tell whether Huang Fei was being sarcastic or not, it was even more difficult.
Huang Fei waved his hand as he looked at Wang Laohu and seriously said, "Don't you understand? This is something the Qi Clan wants to do. If you work for me, then you're also working for the Qi Clan. If someone investigates you in the future, then you can just say that. As long as you're a member of the Qi Clan, who would dare to touch you?"
Wang Laohu thought for a moment before he nodded and said, "I understand, there's no need to hide it. The Qi Clan will definitely win."
"Ah, that's right. If you can't hide it, just admit it openly. Anyway, the Liu family is finished."
After saying that, Huang Fei casually patted his leg and said to Gao Qi, "A Screwdriver, give the thing to the tiger."
Huang Fei had already told Wang Laohu the reason for his visit. It was nothing more than Chaoxi City changing. The Qi Clan and the Li Clan decided to work together to get rid of the Liu family. This was to let Wang Laohu see the situation clearly. When the time came, they would cooperate to trick the Liu family's army out of the city.
These words were all made up by Gao Qi, 30% true and 70% false. The part that needed Wang Laohu to do was true, but the background story was all fake.
For an ambitious and ruthless person like Wang Laohu, he had always been very bold. There was no need to worry that he wouldn't dare to do it, only that he wouldn't be able to do it well.
It couldn't be ruled out that in the future, Wang Laohu would have bigger ambitions and other thoughts. But now, Wang Laohu definitely didn't have the guts to have a foot in both boats, because he didn't have the qualifications to do so.
Some words had to be said by Huang Fei, but Huang Fei couldn't say everything. He still needed Gao Qi to say something.
Gao Qi nodded at Wang Laohu, then he said in a deep voice, "The thing is in the car. Follow me."
Wang Laohu followed Gao Qi out of his residence alone. The car that Gao Qi drove was outside. The two of them came to the door. Gao Qi looked around and saw that there was no one around. He directly opened the car door and took out a box from the back seat.
He placed the box on the ground and opened it. Gao Qi said in a low voice, "Medicine, all kinds of medicine. I can't make these by myself. I have to thank Fei Ge."
Wang Laohu said with a grateful face, "That's great, that's great. Chief Gao, I really don't know how to thank you."
Gao Qi shook his head and said in a low voice, "Cut the crap. Are you worried that Fei Ge will kill you to silence you?"
Wang Laohu's expression suddenly froze. Then he smiled and said, "That's impossible. Why should I be worried about this?"
"You should be worried about this. Don't you know that only the dead can't talk?"
Wang Laohu's face paled. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, like the eyes of a beast that had been forced to a dead end.
Gao Qi continued to say indifferently, "Don't say that you haven't done something like killing people to silence them. You're also very familiar with killing people's families. I saw that when you killed Qin Laoda's family, you did it very neatly."
Wang Laohu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "I'll do it alone. Can you leave my brothers a way out?"
Gao Qi smiled and said, "You're quite loyal."
Wang Laohu took a deep breath. He lowered his head, but his eyes rolled up. He stared into Gao Qi's eyes and said, "What bullsh * t loyalty is this? Who would believe in loyalty these days? I talked big. I said that I would give my brothers a way out, so they followed me! I don't care about loyalty, but I must keep my word! "
Wang Laohu was in despair, but he was also rational. He knew his fate, but he also thought of his own countermeasures.
Gao Qi indeed looked at Wang Laohu in a new light.
These people who grew up in the wilderness did not care about their own lives. They did not care about the lives of others. They were simple and cruel. They were really … too useful!
Gao Qi smiled and said to Wang Laohu in a low voice, "You were quite experienced when you killed Qin Laoda's men. You should know that if I want to kill you, I won't just kill you. But if I don't kill you, I won't kill anyone. You understand this, right?"
Wang Laohu said in a low voice, "You won't even give me a chance?"
Gao Qi sighed and said, "You're quite smart, but not smart enough. Haven't you thought about why I'm telling you all this?"
Wang Laohu said with a stupefied face, "Since I've said it, then I'll be frank. When Group Leader Huang told me what he wanted to do, I didn't expect to live. I only wanted to find a way out for my brothers."
Gao Qi smiled and said, "Were you planning to wait for us to leave, then immediately turn around and tell your brothers to run away?"
Wang Laohu didn't say anything. He just looked very dejected. Since Gao Qi had spoken, it was obvious that he was guarding against this move of his.
Gao Qi's face turned serious and said, "I won't keep you in suspense. To tell you the truth, Fei Ge's people did plan to kill you this time. But I thought of a way so that you don't have to die."
Wang Laohu looked up in shock and said, "What way?"
"Fei Ge just said that there's no need to hide. Since there's no need to hide, why should he kill you?"
Wang Laohu said with a blank face, "Ah? Really? But how is that possible? This kind of thing, this kind of thing … "
"This kind of thing will cause a lot of people to die. But since the Liu family is done for, why should we waste your life?"
Gao Qi patted Wang Laohu's shoulder and said with a sigh, "You're a talent. You were the first to stand up on the day Qin Laoda was killed. This shows that you have the guts. You ordered your people to immediately kill Qin Laoda's people to prevent any future trouble. This shows that you have a brain and your methods are ruthless enough. You were able to pull a group of people to work for you, which shows that you have enough prestige and means."
Gao Qi was not stingy with his praise. After praising Wang Laohu fiercely, he said with a serious face, "A talent like you is too rare in the Wasteland. Otherwise, how could you be in your current position? I just feel that a talent like you shouldn't be killed after being used once. It's too wasteful. After killing you, who will be in charge of the salt mines in the future?"
Wang Laohu said with a serious face, "Chief Gao, thank you for your praise!"
This gratitude was sincere.
If Gao Qi wanted to talk about feelings and loyalty to Wang Laohu, Wang Laohu would turn around and call him a fool.
But Gao Qi straightforwardly talked about benefits, so Wang Laohu had to sincerely thank Gao Qi for thinking so highly of him.
Why? Because this was the way of survival in the Wasteland.
Gao Qi smiled and said, "You should thank me. If it wasn't for me, you would have died. But I think highly of you as a talent. I just said a few words to make Fei Ge's people think that you don't have to die. So you really don't have to die. It's that simple. But now, tell me, how do you plan to thank me?"
Wang Laohu said without hesitation, "Just say the word and I'll do it!"
Gao Qi laughed. He patted Wang Laohu's shoulder again and said seriously, "I don't ask for much. Go and find me a few more of those beads. No, just one of them and we'll be even."
"If I can't find them, I'll dig out my eyeballs and give them to you!"
Gao Qi shook his head. He stared at Wang Laohu for a long time, then suddenly said, "If you can't find them, then forget it. I don't want your eyeballs. We have a long time in the future. You'll have plenty of opportunities to repay me."
After that, Gao Qi kicked the box with his foot and said, "Take it. Don't let Fei Ge wait too long."
Wang Laohu bent down and picked up the box. But at this time, Gao Qi looked at Wang Laohu with a complicated expression. Then Wang Laohu said, "Chief Gao, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Gao Qi sighed and said in a low voice, "I'm from the city, but I was sent to the Wilderness as soon as I graduated. I seized an opportunity. I exchanged my life for an opportunity. I relied on Fei Ge to get where I am today."
Wang Laohu held the box motionlessly. Gao Qi continued in a low voice, "You, me, we're all the same. Really, we're all the same. If we want to live well, we have to exchange our lives for it."
Wang Laohu didn't know why Gao Qi suddenly opened his heart to him, so he just looked at Gao Qi and didn't say anything.
Gao Qi still sighed and said in a low voice, "If we want to live better than others, we have to be more useful than others. Why am I willing to save your life? Because I think you're valuable. Why can Fei Ge and I live well? Because we're more valuable. Do you understand now?"
Wang Laohu said in a low voice, "I understand, I really do."
Gao Qi sighed with the emotion of an elder. He said in a gratified tone, "Actually, I'm still young. I shouldn't say these things to you. But why should I? Because I think you're one of the few people in the Wilderness who can think for your brothers. Really, you're the only one I've seen in so long. Just based on what you said just now, I'll treat you as my brother in the future.
Wang Laohu put down the box. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Chief Gao, if you really think highly of a Wasteland person like me, you'll have a brother in the Wilderness in the future. I won't say more. Just watch my performance!"
