"Hey! Even if you don't smoke, you'll still end up with a rotten heart and lungs?" Huang Mao quickly retorted, not caring whether Gu Tiezhu liked it or not. Judging by the length of his imprisonment, Gu Tiezhu couldn't really be considered his "senior." Huang Mao, having been incarcerated, had unknowingly imposed the values he'd learned there on himself and Gu Tiezhu.
As soon as Huang Mao said this, Gu Tiezhu's expression froze. Yeah! People in their line of work really end up being rotten-hearted and rotten-lung.
"When a man dies, the birds fly to the sky. He lives for eternity. Having embarked on this path, Gu Ge, do you still think there's a chance to turn back?" Ah Xing blew out a few smoke rings before slowly saying this, making Gu Tiezhu's mood even darker. If he hadn't been desperate, Gu Tiezhu wouldn't have taken this path. He knew his fate in this life was limited to one of two: being killed by his boss or by the police. He'd have to be a god himself to die a natural death.
For a moment, Gutiezhu and the others lost the desire to speak.
Gu Xiaofang lowered her head, shrank her body, and tried to minimize her presence. Although she didn't understand what Gu Tiezhu and the others said, she felt that none of them were good people, including her father Gu Tiezhu.
"Brother Gu, when are we coming back after this trip?" Huang Mao didn't have much scheming. After finishing his cigarette, he forgot what he had said. Looking at the scenery receding outside the car window, Huang Mao felt a little reluctant to leave. Kyoto City! Back home, many people had never seen Kyoto City in their entire lives. Huang Weidong had been in prison, but after being released, he made a fortune in Kyoto City.
Everything that happened in the past few months was an eye-opener for Huang Weidong. It was the first time he saw money coming so easily. He didn't have to steal or rob anyone, as people would come to him with huge sums of money.
In just a few months, Huang Weidong, as a younger brother, had earned 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. With this money, he could be considered to be returning home in glory!
"I don't know. Wait for notification." Gutiezhu didn't tell Huangmao the exact news. Honestly, Gutiezhu had taken Huangmao and Ah Xing back home with him, intending to use this opportunity to get them out of the gang. Over the past few months, Huangmao and Ah Xing had made a lot of money, and with that money, Huangmao and Ah Xing could easily live a peaceful life back home. Previously, they'd been in a business that was completely risky.
Gazing at the scenery outside the window, listening to the monotonous clang of train wheels hitting the rails, Gutiezhu felt a deep sense of confusion. If he had endured the villagers' discriminatory gazes and stayed in Zhaojiagou, none of the subsequent events would have happened. Although he had been imprisoned at the time, he had not lost his conscience.
But now, he had stepped into the mud. After knowing so many of his boss's secrets, Gutiezhu knew that his life would not end well. Either he would die at his boss's hands or die on the execution ground. Gutiezhu knew that after all he had done in Jingyang City over the past few months, a bullet could not wash away his sins.
The drug case that is currently making headlines at the Kyoto Public Security Bureau is the work of Gu Tiezhu. Gu Tiezhu is the troublesome drug dealer and the big boss who successfully escaped from under the nose of the police.
To treat his mother's illness, Gutiezhu stole several trees from the Daqing Mountains. When his crime was exposed, he was sentenced to three years in prison. After his release, he returned to his hometown, Zhaojiagou. Because of Wang Biyun's incident and the villagers' discriminatory attitude towards prisoners, Gutiezhu could no longer stay at home and chose to leave his hometown.
Gutiezhu was tall and strong, and had great strength. When he left his hometown, China was implementing the reform and opening-up policy, and some cities in the south were rapidly growing. Gutiezhu thought that if he went to a more economically developed city, he should be able to find a job.
The world outside is exciting, but also frustrating. Gutiezhu, uneducated, could only do manual labor on construction sites. Not only was the pay low, but the contractors often withheld their wages and sometimes even ran away. Gutiezhu struggled through the year without saving much.
Gutiezhu had no choice but to send the remaining money back home. In order to save money on transportation, he didn't even dare to go back for the Chinese New Year.
In this way, Gutiezhu stayed outside for several years, and even when his mother passed away, the villagers could not find any trace of him.
Two years ago, Gu Tiezhu met his current boss, who asked him to work for him and paid him 1,000 yuan a month.
Gutiezhu was overjoyed. A thousand yuan a month? He worked tirelessly on the construction site all year round and still couldn't save a thousand yuan.
The boss took Gutiezhu to his "factory," or more precisely, a shady workshop. There, Gutiezhu was tasked with breaking up a large bag of white powder into smaller packages. Unaware that it was the infamous "white powder," Gutiezhu, a simple man, simply followed his boss' instructions and ignored everything else.
The boss was very satisfied with Gutiezhu's character. A few months later, he began to take Gutiezhu to the border to get goods. Gradually, the boss handed the stall over to Gutiezhu.
After Gutiezhu realized what he had done, there was no turning back. Gutiezhu had witnessed his boss's terrifying power firsthand. A living person had betrayed him, and with a simple wave of his hand, he had reduced that person to a pulp. Yes, it was pulp, real pulp, with not a single bone to be found in the bloody mess. Gutiezhu vomited profusely after watching that scene, and didn't dare eat meat for three months.
Despite this, Gu Tiezhu never considered escaping his boss's control. Gu Tiezhu was no fool; he knew his boss was doing this on purpose, warning him not to have second thoughts about his boss. The two years he spent with his boss were the most comfortable years of his life. Because of his boss's trust, Gu Tiezhu had dozens of subordinates, all of whom respectfully addressed him as "Brother Gu" or "Old Master Gu."
Gutiezhu had made up his mind. He had already sold his life to his boss, and he just wanted to make more money to spend on his family. He, Gutiezhu, would definitely make sure his mother and children at home lived a good life.
At the end of last year, the remittance slip that Gutiezhu sent home was returned. Through his boss's connections, Gutiezhu learned that his mother had passed away and his son and daughter were taken to Kyoto to be raised by Zhao Yunxiang.
Thinking that he was doing "capitalistic" things every day, Gutiezhu simply ignored his son and daughter after he knew that they were living well with Zhao Yunxiang.
