At ten o'clock the next morning, Gua Er returned with two official officials.
Shi Jinwo was in the cockpit and looked at the deck. He saw two responsible persons. One was wearing a military uniform and seemed to have a high military rank. The other was wearing a suit and looked a bit powerful. He was a little confused and looked at Gua Jiu beside him. He asked, "Who are these two people?"
Gua Jiu was typing on the computer. He didn't even raise his eyes when he heard it. He replied, "One is the leader of the meeting, Director Zhang Zhuoyuan of the WeiX Office. He is short, fat and half bald. He comes every year and is considered an old friend of everyone. The other is the deputy who helps maintain order, Liu Zhenjun, one of the rear admirals of the navy. He is a tough guy and not easy to mess with. Like Jun Shao, he is here to calm down the situation. However, this is his first time to attend this meeting. In the past few years, all the people who came here were from the Army."
Shi Jin listened and looked at Lian Jun's progress bar. Seeing that the number was still stable at 600 and did not move, he felt a little relieved.
About an hour later, Gua Jiu and Shi Jin's mobile phones received a notification text message from Gua Yi: Pack up and prepare to board the official ship.
Gua Jiu immediately closed the computer and said to Shi Jin: "Let's go." Shi Jin
responded and stood up with him.
After a busy period, before lunch, Lian Jun took Gua Yi, Er, San, Jiu, and Shi Jin to the official ship. Gua Wu, who came back after Gua Er, stayed on his own ship. After
Lian Jun boarded the official ship, he took Gua Yi and followed the official person in charge. Shi Jin followed Gua Er to the residence arranged by the official.
While packing his luggage, Shi Jin learned from Gua Er that, during the annual meeting, except for Lian Jun, the leaders of other violent organizations would never bring people to stay overnight on the official ship. They would get on and off the ship during the meeting, return to their own ship immediately after the meeting, and come back for the meeting the next day. Their attitude was very vigilant.
Shi Jin could understand their caution, but he had some doubts in his heart, and asked: "Then no one else stays overnight on the official ship, only Young Master Jun stays here, won’t they think too much?"
Gua Er laughed sarcastically and replied: "Do you think they won’t think too much if Young Master Jun doesn’t stay here? Young Master Jun was pushed by them to such a position of 'representing everyone to have close dialogue with the official and express everyone's demands'. At that time, the official and us The tension between the group of people, what good intentions can they have in pushing Jun Shao out like this? If it weren't for Jun Shao, 'Mie' would have long been a cannon fodder for those people to contact the authorities to test the waters, and we wouldn't have the comfortable life we have now. It's what they deserve, they wanted to bully Jun Shao, but ended up building a bridge between us and the authorities, stupid."
Shi Jin was surprised to hear this and asked, "So other organizations already knew that we were cooperating with the authorities?"
"Of course I know, those people are all smart." Gua Er answered, with a half-smile on his face, and said sarcastically, "But they don't know that Master Jun has already reached an agreement with the authorities and decided to clean up the entire deformed underworld society. Those idiots are still envious of Master Jun for getting benefits from the authorities, but they don't know that they are all rats in the pot, and no one can escape when the time comes." Shi Jin
suddenly realized.
So now everyone knows that "Mie" is cooperating with the authorities, but they don't understand the key points. They just think that "Mie" wants to cling to the authorities to earn more benefits, but don't know that "Mie" also wants to pull everyone out?
In this way, "Mie" should still be safe for now, and his identity as a "traitor" has not been discovered by everyone.
"But although those idiots are stupid, there are always some stupider people who will fall for them." Gua Er's tone suddenly changed. He raised his hand and patted Shi Jin's shoulder, saying, "You have to be careful. You should receive a lot of olive branches during the meeting." Shi Jin
was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Gua Er put a cigarette in his mouth and replied while chewing it, "Every year, people around Jun Shao will receive obvious or subtle hints of pulling from other organizations. You are the only new face this year, so you will definitely become the target of everyone's attention. Do you still remember Gua Si?" Shi Jin
nodded and replied, "I remember, what happened to him?"
"He was pulled by a medium-sized organization at a meeting last year and betrayed Master Jun." Gua Er's voice became low and his tone became light. "He is too ambitious. Although he has the ability, he has never been honest. Master Jun is worried about him and has always been reserved about him. As expected, he has not been able to really settle down. Once he found that the organization had signs of transformation to do legitimate business, he immediately became active. Including him, this is the sixth time that Master Jun has been betrayed by someone around him, one every year, just like the fixed plot set up. It's really weird." Shi
Jin saw that he was getting irritated while talking, raised his hand to take the cigarette in his mouth, stuffed him with a candy, and said, "Some people want to change and you can't keep them. Why worry about them?"
"I'm not worried about them." Gua Er smacked his lips and ate the candy obediently, his tone slowly returning to normal, "I'm just afraid. I'm afraid that the dark days will last too long, and the partners who are still by my side will suddenly turn against us one day. You are new here, you may not understand, but after making too much dirty money and quick money, and having too many days of doing whatever they want and arbitrarily deciding other people's life and death, some people can never give it up and can't get back to the right path."
Shi Jin was silent after hearing this. Indeed, human hearts are the most unpredictable. When he was a policeman, he had seen many people who had been rescued and helped, but after a while, they took the initiative to return to the thieves' den or wolf's lair, which made people angry and helpless.
"Anyway, you should be more careful. If someone approaches you, you'd better report it to Jun Shao immediately so that we can take precautions early." Gua Er patted Shi Jin's shoulder again, his expression and tone were rare and serious, "Shi Jin, Jun Shao trusts you very much, don't let him down. If even you are wavering, I'm afraid Jun Shao will not be able to bear it." After saying that, he put the candy paper in his hand in his pocket and turned away. Shi Jin
watched him leave, knowing that he came here to tell him these things today. He glanced at the progress bar of Lian Jun in his mind and sighed - Gua Er really worried too much. If he was wavering, let alone what would happen to Lian Jun, just say that the system in his mind would probably not let him go first, and it would definitely make his brain cry.
At lunch time, Lian Jun and Gua Yi still hadn't come back. They should have gone to eat with the official person in charge.
Shi Jin followed Gua Er and others to the restaurant on the ship. After sitting down, he was still a little worried. He took out the satellite phone that was reconfigured after sailing and sent a text message to Lian Jun, telling him not to drink.
Lian Jun's text message came back quickly, with only one word: "Yeah." Shi
Jin was relieved, put away his phone, and then picked up his chopsticks to start eating.
The people at the same table saw his actions, looked at each other, tacitly said nothing, and also picked up their chopsticks to eat.
Lian Jun did not come back until after four o'clock in the afternoon. After coming back, he immediately called everyone to a meeting, briefly explained the general process of the meeting, and then told everyone not to run around during the meeting, and then waved his hand to let everyone go.
According to Lian Jun, the process of this meeting is no different from previous years, and it will still last for three days. The first day is to check the movements of all violent organizations in the previous year, the second day is to discuss and analyze the current situation of all illegal violent organizations in the country, and the third day is the highlight. The official will re-register the information of all legal violent organizations, add some, and remove some. At the same time, it will collect the review candidate list of a new batch of legal violent organizations from everyone. After one year of review, the review results will be announced at the meeting next year, and then the newly born legal violent organizations will be officially listed.
There are too many things to do in the collection of this list. The reason why those violent organization bosses who usually don't like to show up in public are all willing to honestly come to participate in this official meeting is mostly for this. This is a good opportunity to increase one's strength legally, and no one wants to miss it.
Later, Gua Yi explained the specific operation process of the list collection to Shi Jin, who was attending the meeting for the first time.
It turned out that not all legal violent organizations are qualified for recommendation. Only violent organizations that have been successfully listed for more than five years have a single recommendation quota, while those with less than five years and more than three years only have half a recommendation quota. If they want to really have a say at the meeting, they must cooperate with another organization with the same qualifications.
As for those who have been listed for less than three years, they have no right to speak and can only listen to the results and wait for qualifications.
After hearing this, Shi Jin could
n't help but ask: "We have been listed for a few years, do we have independent recommendation quotas?" Gua Yi replied: "We have been listed for the longest time, so we naturally have quotas, but Master Jun has never used them. Other organizations strive for recommendation quotas to increase allies, or to push small organizations they support to the surface to increase their own strength. These things are not needed by 'Mie', so what Master Jun submits every year is a blank sheet of paper."
This answer was confident and domineering, and Shi Jin felt very comfortable listening to it. He nodded to show that he understood and indicated that he could continue popularizing science.
Gua Yi stopped talking and said: "Besides this, I don't have anything else to explain specifically. You can read the information yourself for the rest. Shi Jin, don't let Master Jun down." After speaking, he put the information aside and got up and left.
This was the second time that Shi Jin had heard the admonition "Don't let the young master down". He looked up and watched Gua Yi leave, picked up the documents in front of him and flipped through them, feeling a little helpless. Does he look like a person with an unstable will? Why did Gua Yi and Gua Er, who were the most stable and careful , come to tell him this?
There was only one day left before the meeting started. According to past years, most of the leaders of other organizations would arrive in the afternoon or evening of the next day, and try to get close to the official ship at the start of the meeting.
The result was surprising. Later that day, a black civilian ship that was obviously modified suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance and rushed towards this side.
Shi Jin was massaging Lian Jun's legs at the time. After Xiao Si reminded him, he noticed that a new ship had arrived. He looked out the window, but he only saw a strange thing wrapped in lights approaching this side. He was so scared that he almost thought there was a ghost on the sea.
Lian Jun noticed that his movements paused, sat up and looked out the window, and said, "It's Guishe. They like black, and the ships that come every year are also black."
Guishe, Shi Jin had seen this name in the pile of information given by Gua Yi.
Guishe is also a legal violent organization that has been listed for many years. A few years ago, it almost became a large organization that could stand on equal footing with "Mie", but unfortunately, Guishe was unlucky. It lost its old leader when it was in its prime, and the new leader was inexperienced and made repeated wrong decisions, so it gradually declined. So far, Gui Den has become the foundation of the first echelon of legal violent organizations in the country.
"The new leader of Gui Den is a smart man." Lian Jun suddenly gave a completely different evaluation from the information. As he spoke, he pulled Shi Jin's hand, took a towel and carefully wiped his hand stained with medicated oil, and explained in detail, "If Gui Den had continued to develop, it would probably become the next Black Rose. The new leader of Gui Den chose to undermine his own strength and retreat overseas at that time, which was actually a very far-sighted approach." Shi Jin
retracted his gaze to look at Lian Jun, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Lian Jun's eyelashes, which looked particularly thick and beautiful when he lowered his eyes.
"In recent years, the larger organizations in the country have declined or disappeared, and the first echelon has been replaced faster and faster. The Ghost Den is getting worse and worse on the surface, but it has remained stable in the first echelon and has not really retreated. It has maintained a position that will not be suspected and targeted by the official, but will not lose its threat and voice in the official. It is very smart and careful."
Lian Jun carefully wiped Shi Jin's fingers one by one, looked up at him, and said: "This time the Ghost Den came early, it should have made a new decision. You can observe them more and guess their next move. If you guess right, I can promise you a request." Shi
Jin didn't expect him to raise his eyes, and suddenly met his eyes. He was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, nodded and said: "Then I will guess carefully... Wait, can you promise me a request?"
"If you guess right." Lian Jun emphasized.
Shi Jin immediately became alert and asked, "Is there a time limit for guessing?"
Lian Jun squeezed his hand and replied, "Before the meeting on the third day, the bet will be void if it is overdue."
"Then don't worry, I will definitely hand in the answer on time." Shi Jin quickly accepted the bet. In his heart, he had already decided that if he won the bet this time, he would ask Lian Jun to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Uncle Long said that Lian Jun had not been to the hospital for a thorough physical examination for many years.
With the bet, Shi Jin immediately included Gui Hu as the number one observation target. However, Gui Hu was very uncooperative with his observation. After arriving, he turned off all the lights and stayed quietly, with no intention of actively contacting the authorities.
"Is it too late to rest?" Shi Jin muttered. Seeing that it was getting late, he asked Xiao Si to help keep an eye on the movements of the ghost den, and then climbed into bed to sleep. He
slept until dawn, and when Shi Jin woke up, he ran to the window to see the situation of the ghost den. However, the ghost den was still motionless, like a black background board embedded in the sea, lifeless.
"Have they contacted the authorities?" Shi Jin asked.
Xiao Si replied, "No, there was no movement all night."
Shi Jin was even more confused, and looked at Gui Hu again, hesitantly saying, "They didn't just come too early, and wanted to wait for the main force to arrive, and then contact the authorities together."
As if to confirm his guess, Gui Hu remained silent for the whole day, but ships from other violent organizations arrived one after another, and sent people to contact the officials alone or in groups.
At dinner time, several violent organizations with the same strength as "Mie" arrived one after another, stopped in the inner circle closest to the official ships, and surrounded the official ships.
After these large organizations arrived, Lian Jun's progress bar quickly increased to 800. Although Shi Jin had already prepared himself mentally for the increase in Lian Jun's progress bar, he was still stimulated by the increase and secretly memorized the names of these organizations and the locations of their ships.
"Now, the Nine Eagles should be the only ones left." Gua Er counted the boats parked around him and asked Gua Yi who was also observing the situation outside.
Gua Yi nodded and replied, "They like to arrive at the last minute, which is normal."
Gua Er curled his lips and said, "If they arrive at the beginning of the meeting like last year, they will probably get a soft nail. The official Liu Zhenhua sent this year is not a good person to talk to."
"It's just a little clown, don't pay too much attention to it." Gua Yi replied with a faint expression, as if he didn't think much of the Nine Eagles.
Shi Jin listened to the conversation between the two and recalled the information of the Nine Eagles. He was a little surprised.
The data provided by Gua Yi showed that the Nine Eagles was one of the organizations with the best development momentum in recent years and the most hope to squeeze out "Mie", but everyone seemed to be very indifferent to the Nine Eagles.
Gua San saw that he was confused and explained: "The development of the Nine Eagles was tacitly approved by Master Jun. Master Jun needed a target to divert everyone's attention." Shi Jin
then understood the origin of everyone's attitude. For the sake of caution, he still took note of the Nine Eagles in his heart.
The originally quiet sea area was densely packed with ships of various models and sizes in just one day. At the same time, these ships were slowly adjusting their positions. Familiar organizations came together, and those with grudges dispersed tacitly. Those who wanted to get close to the official took the opportunity to go to the inner circle, and those who wanted to hide from the official quietly retreated. The only thing that didn't change much was the ships in the inner circle. They were all big organizations that came every year, but no one dared to come and squeeze their position. Shi
Jin paid special attention to the position of his own ship and Guishe's ship. He found that although his ship was also in the inner circle, it was obviously excluded by other inner circle ships. It was a lonely ship occupying a position, and there was even a lot of space behind it. Even the outer circle ships didn't dare to approach here. As one of the first-tier organizations that arrived first, Guishe strangely withdrew from the inner circle gradually and moved to the outermost circle alone.
"What is Guishe trying to do?" Shi Jin was confused and began to worry that he might not win the bet.
Xiaosi couldn't analyze it, so he could only remain silent about his self-questioning.
The night passed so strangely and peacefully. The next morning, Shi Jin, who had left the ship early to watch the grand meeting, saw a magical scene on the deck.
All the ships surrounding the official ship suddenly began to connect to each other at a fixed point and build gangways. One ship after another, a crossbridge was built on the ladder, and a spider web-like passage between the ships was created to connect all the ships together.
The ships of the large organizations in the inner circle naturally became the most important link connecting the official ships.
What surprised Shi Jin even more was that the ghost ship that was still in the outermost circle before going to bed last night actually stopped the ship next to "Mie" at some point, and took the initiative to hand over the ladder to "Mie", which seemed to be a gesture of goodwill.
Lian Jun also saw this scene. He tapped the armrest of the wheelchair with his finger and made a satellite call to Gua Wu who stayed behind, asking Gua Wu to answer Gui Xu's overtures.
"Young Master Jun?" Shi Jin was puzzled. "
Think about it yourself." Lian Jun looked at him sideways, sternly and impartially, "I won't provide any hints." Shi Jin
remembered the bet between the two, looked at him silently, and obediently thought about the strangeness here.
The meeting started at ten o'clock. After nine o'clock, the heads of major organizations began to bring people to the official ship one after another. After Shi Jin and Gua Jiu sent Lian Jun and the official leaders to meet, they silently retreated to a position farther back on the deck, looking around and watching the excitement.
"Jiuying hasn't come yet, I'm afraid it's going to be cold." Gua Jiu hugged his chest, his tone was mocking.
Shi Jin listened to him, but his attention was on the ship of the ghost den. It was not until half past nine that he saw some movement on the deck of the ghost den ship. He asked Xiao Si to give him a buff of enhanced vision and looked over there carefully.
He saw six figures appearing one after another on the deck of the ghost den, which was originally clean and empty. The one walking in front was a thin man in his thirties, wearing a simple black sports suit. He should be the leader of the ghost den.
A man in a suit was walking half a step behind him. The man in the suit was very tall, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs. He was holding a briefcase in his hand. Because he was talking to the leader with his head tilted, his appearance could not be seen clearly.
There were several bodyguard-like figures following behind the two men, all of them were reserved and walked swiftly.
Shi Jin took a quick look at them, and his gaze could not help but move to the man in the suit. Many of the bigwigs who came to attend the meeting this time were wearing suits, but this one alone made him a little concerned, and he always felt a little familiar.
The ghost cave's ship was in the inner circle, and it didn't take long to walk over.
Probably because he noticed Shi Jin's gaze, the man who had been talking to the ghost cave leader, when he walked to the middle of the crossbridge, suddenly turned his head and looked over, and accurately met Shi Jin's gaze.
Xiao Si screamed out loud: "Jin Jin, it's Fei Yujing! It's Fei Yujing, the second son of the Shi family! Why is he here? No, Jin Jin, your progress bar has increased, 550! It has increased by 50!"
Shi Jin was also surprised, staring blankly at Fei Yujing's full face and his cold eyes. Suddenly, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, one moment it was the increasing progress bar, the words that Shi Weichong said, and the information that Lian Jun found. He took a look at the increasing progress bar in his mind, and his brain became hot. He raised his hand and gave Fei Yujing a middle finger.
——What did the original owner do to you that you were murderous as soon as you saw me. Who owes you anything!
Fei Yujing was obviously stunned when he saw Shi Jin, his brows slightly wrinkled, and just when he was about to take a closer look at his appearance, he saw his middle finger raised straight up, his eyes narrowed, and his gaze moved back to Shi Jin's face, his expression unpredictable.
Xiao Si's voice trembled: "Jin Jin, what did you do? Why did your progress bar rise again, 600!" Shi Jin's
expression froze, and for a moment he didn't know whether to put his middle finger away or not, and he froze in embarrassment.
