Chapter 41: Dogleg



After finishing the clothes, Shi Jin pushed Lian Jun to the restaurant closest to the villa.

The restaurant was very large, including both indoor and outdoor parts, and was decorated in a very seaside style. All the outdoor tables were placed under simple and beautiful shell umbrellas, and there were fresh bouquets on the tables, which was very pleasing to the eye.

There were many people in waiter uniforms busy in the restaurant. When they saw Lian Jun coming, they stopped their work and greeted Lian Jun in a proper manner.

Lian Jun waved his hand to signal them to move freely and not to worry about him, so everyone continued to be busy, chatting and laughing with each other while busy, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Shi Jin

looked at them curiously, and was a little surprised in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that the waiters were all sturdy and moved in an orderly manner, if he only looked at the scene inside the restaurant, he would have thought that this was really an ordinary restaurant on a holiday island, not a special canteen for the underworld.

Lian Jun casually pointed to a table placed outside, motioned Shi Jin to push himself over, and after settling in, he picked up the menu on the table and handed it to Shi Jin, saying, "The fruit pie on the island is good, do you want to try it?"

Shi Jin retracted his gaze from the parasol with shell patterns on his head, glanced at the densely packed dishes on the menu, and exclaimed, "How many chefs did you hire to cook so many dishes?"

"We trained the chefs ourselves, so there's no need to hire them." Lian Jun replied, and asked someone to bring up two glasses of juice first. Shi

Jin found it incredible and asked, "Do we have a department to train chefs?"

Lian Jun liked the word "we" he used. He leaned back in his wheelchair and replied, "There is no special department. There are only corresponding cooperative schools and various training schools we run. Sooner or later, everyone will get rid of the current life of licking blood on the edge of a knife. By that time, I will make sure they have a skill to make a living."

This was the first time Shi Jin heard Lian Jun talk about the internal affairs of "Mie". In the past, he just followed everyone to do tasks and training vaguely, and did whatever he was told to do. He never dared to ask too many questions, for fear that asking too many questions would offend others. Now that Lian Jun took the initiative to bring it up, he couldn't help but After a moment's pause, he continued to ask: "So, Young Master Jun, are you going to take the entire 'Mie' with you to transform?"

Lian Jun nodded and pushed a glass of juice brought by the waiter in front of him. Seeing that he had no intention of ordering his own food, he ordered the signature fruit pie and a bowl of seafood porridge, as well as several other snacks suitable for breakfast. After sending the waiter away, he replied: "Everyone has suffered with me. If I want to transform, I naturally have to take everyone with me. In this business, there is no reason to abandon your brothers casually."

This was the most gangster-like words that Shi Jin had ever heard from Lian Jun. For a moment, it was as if he had gotten to know Lian Jun all over again.

As the largest legal violent organization in the country, "Mie" has influence across many countries and an astronomical number of members. The pressure of taking on the future livelihoods of all these people is terrifying.

Although Lian Jun is in poor health and young, he is truly a big boss.

Shi Jin took a sip of juice, glanced at Lian Jun with admiration, and continued to ask: "Then how many such training institutions and counterpart schools do we have now? Also, to support so many people, there must be a lot of jobs needed. Don’t you have to not only get rid of your identity as a gangster boss, but also reach the pinnacle of your life and become a president?"

This question seemed to be a pry into the progress of "Mie"'s transformation at this stage. Lian Jun looked at Shi Jin's purely curious look and replied bluntly: "There are many counterpart schools, training institutions are continuously opening up, and business networks are also being built. However, these are not what you need to know. You stay with me and do the most dangerous thing. You may be caught by the enemy at any time. In order to prevent Stop the leakage of internal information. The specific process of transformation is a secret that you cannot ask about."

Shi Jin picked up the fruit slice stuck in the juice cup and chewed it. He thought of the documents in Lian Jun's study that he would never finish reviewing, and the habit of "destroying" internal affairs that he and Gua Yi rarely mentioned. He nodded with understanding and said, "So that's how it is. It's good to separate information. In this way, even if there is a traitor around you, the internal information will not be easily leaked out."

This is where Lian Jun is most satisfied with Shi Jin. Although Shi Jin has a jumpy personality, he is never confused about serious and important matters. He has a sense of propriety. He doesn't ask questions that he shouldn't ask, and doesn't think about things that he shouldn't think about. He can see the overall situation and is never overly sensitive.

Such a person would be an excellent choice to be a subordinate, a friend, or...

"Young Master Jun? Young Master Jun? The food is here, eat it quickly, or it will get cold soon."

A hand waved in front of his eyes, Lian Jun came back to his senses, and found that he was actually relaxed in front of Shi Jin. He was stunned for a second, then looked at Shi Jin deeply, sat up, picked up the spoon and stirred the seafood porridge pushed by Shi Jin. After a pause, he suddenly said: "Shi Jin, there are some things I think you have the right to know, and you have the right to choose. The transformation of 'Mie' includes two parts. One part is the transformation of the revenue structure and business structure. This part is not difficult to carry out. There is official support and relaxation, plus A large amount of capital has been accumulated, and it is only a matter of time to complete this part. The really difficult part is the other part. " Shi

Jin still had a fruit pie in his mouth, and he asked vaguely, "What is the other part?"

Lian Jun was amused by his funny look of a serious expression while eating, and his serious tone just now relaxed again, saying, "It is the transformation defined by the organization. Do you still remember the official positioning of 'destruction'?"

Shi Jin swallowed the fruit pie, frowned even more, and replied, "The largest legal violent organization in the country? And it has cooperation with the official... Is that so?"

"That's roughly it." Lian Jun stirred the seafood porridge again and said, "But looking at history, if a society wants to develop stably, vigorously, or even be defined as a legal violent organization, it doesn't need it. As an existence destined to be eliminated by history, if we don't want to perish in the end, we have to work hard to survive. The other part of 'Extinction', which is the final transformation, is the transformation of the organization's positioning. What we want is that there will no longer be an organization called 'Extinction' in the official book in the future. Only then will we be truly safe and the transformation will be officially successful." Shi Jin

instantly understood what he meant and blurted out, "Official Are we going to take action against violent organizations?"

Lian Jun looked at his wide-eyed expression, and for some reason he suddenly felt that these things that he had felt were extremely heavy in the past were now very easy to talk about. He nodded at him and replied, "We have already started to take action a long time ago, and Black Rose is the first piece of cake that the authorities have touched. Fortunately, although we are on an equal footing with the Black Rose back then, and are also one of the large organizations that the authorities hate, we do not have any official backing, and the capital we have accumulated is strong and stable enough, so when facing us, the official strategy adopted is to 'recruit' rather than 'eliminate'." Shi

Jin felt a little heavy in his heart when he heard this.

So the current situation is that "Mie" has been recruited and has become the knife that the authorities use to attack other violent organizations. In order to reward "Mie" for "knowing the times", the authorities have begun to vigorously support and help "Mie" to transform its business, that is, to whitewash "Mie".

But if this is the case, then "Mie" is equivalent to becoming a traitor in the violent organizations and the target of all violent organizations. And this is not the most dangerous. When the dust really settles one day, will "Mie", as the last legal violent organization that can threaten the authorities the most and knows what the authorities are doing, really be let off easily?

Even if most of the members and businesses of "Mie" are let off because they have gradually transformed, will the core members of "Mie" such as Lianjun and Guayi really be allowed to live?

In history, there has always been such a thing as hiding the bow after the birds are all gone and cooking the dogs after the rabbits are dead.

The current transformation of "Mie" is not an ordinary transformation, but a transformation that makes it neither human nor human, with no way out at all, and the future is not necessarily bright.

Shi Jin felt that the fruit pie was no longer fragrant, the juice was no longer sweet, and even the sea breeze became irritating. His brows were twisted into a knot and he said, "Master Jun, do you know what the ending of most bandits who were recruited by the court in history was? After the recruitment, even if the bandits' minions could return to being good citizens and continue to farm and make a living, the bandit bosses would usually lose their heads, but some would be killed late and some early. Have you thought about this problem?"

Lian Jun was a little surprised at the direction of Shi Jin's thinking. Seeing that he didn't care at all whether he was on a pirate ship or not, Instead, he was first concerned about the safety of this "bandit leader". His eyes were slightly warm. He picked up the straw on the table and poked Shi Jin's wrinkled brows, and replied, "I have thought about it. Then have you ever thought that after the bandit leader is recruited, not only the bandit leader, but also the leader's wicked military advisors and lackeys will generally not have a good end. Do you remember what I told you before? You have the right to choose, so now, the minions who can finally return to the good people and the lackeys who are likely to be silenced, which one do you choose?" Shi Jin

saw that he was still in the mood to make a joke along with what he said, and raised his hand to take away the straw he poked. He took the straw and poked it into his juice cup with a frown. He drank most of the juice in one gulp and said viciously, "You are a very smart bandit boss. You must have thought of the final retreat. I want to be your lackey. I am happy! At least I can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks with you."

Lian Jun curled his lips, leaned back in the wheelchair, raised his hand to support his chin, and said in a good mood, "No, I can't eat spicy food. You can only eat delicious food with me. On the contrary, as a minion, you can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks." Shi Jin

was very bold and rolled his eyes at him, reaching out to take the porridge. He pushed the bowl in front of him and said, "Then you should get well soon. I also want to eat spicy food. You can't deprive me of my hobby."

Lian Jun couldn't help but chuckle. His uncertain heart slowly settled down. He looked at Shi Jin, then at the seafood porridge in front of him, stretched out his hand to push it away, pointed at the half-eaten fruit pie in front of Shi Jin, and said, "I'm tired of drinking porridge. I want yours." Shi

Jin was stunned by his laughter for a moment. After coming back to his senses, he showed an expression of "I really can't do anything to you" and gave up his fruit pie.

...

After a conversation at breakfast, the distance between the two people was invisibly shortened a lot. Shi Jin became bolder and more casual in front of Lian Jun, and Lian Jun acquiesced to this.

At the afternoon rest meeting before entering the island, Gua Yi and others quickly noticed this subtle change. They tacitly said nothing. Then after the meeting, Gua Er stepped forward and pulled Gua Liu, who was full of astonishment, to one side and chatted with him for a long time. So

when I went in to find Gua Liu to apply for the pass to the island, I found that there was something wrong with the way this new colleague looked at me.

Gua Liu has a gentle personality and a kind appearance. He is older than Gua Yi and others. He has almost watched Lian Jun grow up. He has a very deep and elder-like feeling for Lian Jun. Now seeing that the younger generation whom he secretly loves suddenly shows a special look to someone, he has mixed feelings in his heart.

"Xiao Jin, right? How old are you?" Gua Liu asked tentatively.

Shi Jin thought that the reason for Gua Liu's strange look was that he thought he was too young, so he immediately replied without hesitation: "I'm twenty years old."

Twenty, the age difference is not too big, it's acceptable.

Gua Liu nodded, took out a blank pass, and stretched out his hand to Shi Jin: "Give me your

ID card, I'll enter the information." Shi Jin obediently took out his ID card and handed it over. After handing it over, he remembered that his date of birth was on his ID card, so his expression froze for a moment - oh no, his boast was about to be exposed.

Gua Liu also saw the date of birth on Shi Jin's ID card, paused, looked up at Shi Jin, and was very shocked: "You look a little too young." Didn't he just become an adult not long ago?

"My mental age is more mature." Shi Jin tried to save the situation.

Gua Liu's heart was a little trembling. He carefully entered the information for him and asked, "What do you think of Jun Shao? His age... Do you think he is too old?"

Shi Jin was confused: "Old? Isn't Jun Shao's age just right? He just turned 26 this month." He is the same age as him in his previous life.

Gua Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he spoke faster: "Do you remember Jun Shao's birthday?"

"I remember, why do you look like that, is this something difficult to remember?" Shi Jin felt that his attitude was weird and felt a little scared when he was looked at.

Gua Liu quickly suppressed his emotions, smiled and waved his hands, saying happily: "It's not hard to remember, it's hard to remember, what's hard is the thought, here, here, your card, I've opened the highest authority for you, go and have fun." Shi Jin

left with a foggy face.

Gua Liu was satisfied and smiled and sighed: "You mentioned it casually and it's your birthday. It seems that you really think about Jun Shao in your heart. Not bad, not bad."

...

Lian Jun didn't want to go to the restaurant for dinner, and Shi Jin was too lazy to move, so Shi Jin simply called the restaurant and asked them to send a table of dinner over, and also put the table on the terrace.

Lian Jun had no objection to the place Shi Jin chose for dinner, and happily sat down.

The two of them finished the meal in a good mood. After the meal, Shi Jin saw that Lian Jun had no intention of going to the study to handle official business immediately. He thought carefully and took the opportunity to say, "Master Jun, we are already on the island. That massage... do you want to try it?"

Lian Jun looked at him sideways, but did not say anything. His eyebrows and eyes were still relaxed.

"Just give it a try. I lost the massage to you. I am willing to admit defeat. You can't let me go so easily. I will push it even further." Shi Jin's face was full of self-reflection and self-condemnation, and his words were very high-sounding.

Lian Jun raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to support his chin, as if he was drunk by the sea breeze, and his voice was lazily asked: "Shi Jin, why are you so obsessed with massage?"

With the morning's communication as a foundation, Shi Jin chose to be honest this time and answered honestly: "I want to see your legs. People who can't walk for a long time will most likely have atrophy in their leg muscles. I asked Uncle Long, and Uncle Long said that you refuse to do leg health care. I am a little worried."

Lian Jun's expression faded a little, looked away, and said: "Why worry about these things? I know my own body."

"This is not called knowing what's going on; it's called giving up on yourself," Shi Jin retorted, his expression rarely serious. "Your legs are not disabled. Once your body recovers and the neurological effects are gone, your legs will be rebuilt and you can become a normal person again. You can't make a conclusion about your body too early." "

But wasn't my conclusion given by God when I was born?" Lian Jun continued, as if he had already accepted his fate.

"Lian Jun, you can't think like that." Shi Jin frowned, feeling a bit of a headache.

Just as he expected, Lian Jun was not a cooperative patient, which could be seen from Uncle Long's occasional complaints.

Lian Jun never ate well. Before he came, he would even drink alcohol even though he knew his stomach couldn't take it. He also hated taking medicine and was very difficult to deal with.

After the conversation in the morning, he could probably guess the origin of Lian Jun's attitude.

The transformation of "Extinction" was fast and dangerous, and he couldn't make a mistake. Lian Jun had no time to care about his physical condition. Lian Jun probably felt a little bit disgusted with his current physical condition, and he probably still had some suicidal thoughts in his mind, "After sending all the brothers to live a good life, I will give myself to the authorities and end my life completely." How could such a person who has already decided his own death care about his own health?

Lian Jun saw that he had a stern face, as if he was holding back something but didn't know how to say it, so he suddenly smiled and said, "You care about my health more than I do, Shi Jin, can you tell me why?" He

smiled beautifully, but Shi Jin looked very depressed.

"Why would that be?" Shi Jin frowned, glanced at the progress bar of Lian Jun in his mind, then looked at Lian Jun who seemed to not care about anything, and said, "I want you to live a long and healthy life. Given my current position and identity, isn't it normal to have such a thought?"

Lian Jun looked at him without saying anything, as if digesting his answer. Shi Jin

simply kept silent, worrying about how to get Lian Jun to cheer up.

"Let's go." Lian Jun suddenly put down the hand that was supporting his chin, recovered his rare relaxation, and returned to his usual reserved look. He turned the wheelchair and slid towards the small living room connected to the terrace, and tilted his head slightly, "Didn't you say you want a massage? Do you have all the tools with you?" Shi

Jin was stunned, then his eyes lit up, and he hurried forward to hold the armrest of his wheelchair, and said with relief: "That's right, life is still very hopeful. Don't worry, I have all the tools with me, and I guarantee that you will be comfortable."

...

The tools in Shi Jin's pocket consisted of three parts: various massage gadgets that were just for show, medical massage oil provided by Uncle Long, and a small speaker for listening to music.

The massage location was set in Lian Jun's room. Shi Jin first prepared hot water for Lian Jun to take a bath, and then according to the information collected before, he asked someone to send a mobile massage bed with a slightly lower softness.

After preparing everything, Shi Jin connected the speaker to his mobile phone, found the soothing pure music of "cleansing the soul" that he had specially collected, and clicked play.

The next second, soft and ethereal music floated in the room, accompanied by the hazy sound of waves coming from afar, which made people unconsciously depressed.

Shi Jin was very satisfied, and chatted with Xiao Si in his mind: "The small speaker that Gua Er found for me has good sound quality, and it is estimated to be very expensive."

Xiao Si was silent. Shi Jin
