Three months ago, Gutiezhu, following his boss's instructions, expanded his "business" to Kyoto. Kyoto was a place they were unfamiliar with, and while scouting for opportunities, Gutiezhu spotted Huangmao and Ah Xing stealing money on the street. Gutiezhu recognized the two young men, and it seemed they had a connection.
Huang Mao is Huang Weidong, and Ah Xing is Zhou Jiaxing. The case of Zhao Guohui's supply and marketing cooperative being defrauded of supplies was the work of Huang Mao and his gang. The gang's leader, Ma Shengli, was sentenced to death, while Huang Weidong, Zhou Jiaxing, and Xu Erwang received ten-year sentences. Due to their good behavior in prison, Huang Mao and Zhou Jiaxing were released together. After their release, with no one from their families to pick them up, they decided to return to their old ways and head to a major city like Kyoto to seek out "a path to wealth."
When they were sentenced, Gutiezhu and Huangmao stood together on the high platform in Sanhe Town and were criticized. It was because of this "fate" that Gutiezhu rescued Huang Weidong and Zhou Jiaxing who were caught and beaten.
In this way, the down-and-out Huang Weidong and Zhou Jiaxing joined Gu Tiezhu's gang, promoting their "fans" in bars and nightclubs every day.
Gu Tiezhu never expected the Kyoto police to be so effective. In just two months, they had tracked him down. Fortunately, Gu Tiezhu had a "treasure" given by his boss. When he was almost caught, Gu Tiezhu activated the "treasure" and escaped from under the police's nose.
Less than ten minutes after Gutiezhu escaped, he received instructions from his boss to leave Kyoto and hide for a while.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gutiezhu planned to help Huangmao and the others get out of the mud pit.
As for Gutiezhu himself, there was no turning back.
Gu Tiezhu's biggest wish at the moment is to hand over the money he "earned" to his two children, Gu Hongxing and Gu Xiaofang, so that they can live a life without worries about food and clothing. Since he wants to run away, Gu Tiezhu must go to Zhao Yunxiang to bring Gu Hongxing and Gu Xiaofang back.
Unexpectedly, Gu Hongxing didn't want to go back home at all, and Gu Xiaofang was determined to follow her brother. Gu Tiezhu had no choice but to climb over the wall in the middle of the night, knock Gu Hongxing unconscious, and take her away.
Along the way, perhaps because of Gu Tiezhu and his two companions' somewhat unsavory image, no other passengers dared to speak to them. Gu Xiaofang sat quietly in her seat, eating when she needed to and not forgoing bathroom breaks when she needed to. Fearing Gu Hongxing would wake up and cause a disturbance, Gu Tiezhu simply gave her some water laced with sleeping pills. After a day and a night, the train arrived in Qingshan City.
Before getting off the bus, Gu Hongxing woke up. Seeing Gu Xiaofang sitting opposite him and winking at him secretly, Gu Hongxing did not make a fuss this time, as if she had accepted the fact that she had to go home with Gu Tiezhu.
After getting off the bus, Gu Hongxing and his sister followed Gu Tiezhu obediently. Gu Tiezhu finally smiled. He knew Hongxing was just being confused and said she didn't want to go home with him. They were father and son, the closest family. Now that they were back in Qingshan City, Hongxing had obediently accepted his fate, which was good.
Suddenly, Gutiezhu was stunned when he saw that Huang Weidong and Zhou Jiaxing both had empty hands.
"Ah Xing, where's the stuff?" Gu Tiezhu's voice was a little sharp, with a hint of fear. Along the way, Gu Tiezhu kept thinking about something, but he couldn't remember it. Last night, before going to the Yunyun Garment Factory, Gu Tiezhu gave Zhou Jiaxing a snakeskin bag and asked him to keep it safe.
But now, the snakeskin bag was gone? Gutiezhu was really scared. Inside the snakeskin bag was a huge bag of "white powder"! It weighed over ten kilograms! Compared to the value of these things, the money Gutiezhu had on him was not even a fraction. How could he afford to pay for it? On top of that, the boss was a "devil" who killed people without blinking an eye. If the things were gone, not only would Huangmao and the others not be able to get out of the mud pond, but even Gutiezhu would definitely be killed without a burial place.
"Brother Gu, I left the stuff at that woman's factory, in the utility room behind the dormitory building," Zhou Jiaxing replied calmly. Although Gu Tiezhu hadn't told Zhou Jiaxing what was in the snakeskin bag, Zhou Jiaxing would have secretly opened it and taken a look! Upon seeing the white powder inside, Zhou Jiaxing was ecstatic. To test whether the powder was what he imagined, he even secretly tore open the plastic bag a little and tasted it.
Zhou Jiaxing thought about running away with Huangmao with a bag of things, but later changed his mind after learning that Yunyun Garment Factory was Zhao Yunxiang's property.
With such a large factory, how much money should Zhao Yunxiang have made in the past few years? She made so much money, but she never thought of giving any to her nephew. In that case, he would give this woman a big gift. This was what Zhou Jiaxing thought as he put the snakeskin bag into the utility room.
A utility room? Gutiezhu frowned, pondering for a long time before remembering that behind the Yunyun Garment Factory dormitory building was an open space with a row of bungalows, storing scraps and other debris from the factory's assembly lines. Gutiezhu took a closer look and saw that the scraps were also being carried in snakeskin bags, with patterns similar to the ones he had given Zhou Jiaxing. Oh no! He had so much "goods," and if the workers at Zhao Yunxiang's factory mistook them for trash and threw them away, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
But Gu Tiezhu was reluctant to return to Kyoto like this. He had already reached Qingshan City, and it would only take seven or eight hours to get back to Zhaojiagou. Was he really going to give up on burning paper at his mother's grave? And he had to make arrangements for Hongxing and Xiaofang, too!
"Brother Gu, think about it! The most dangerous place is also the safest place. If the things are kept in that woman's factory, who would dare to go inside to check because of her family's power? Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days, and the factory will definitely not be busy cleaning up those scraps of cloth and other debris. Can't we just go to the factory and take the things out after the Chinese New Year?" Zhou Jiaxing tried to convince Gu Tiezhu. God knows, Zhou Jiaxing's inner thoughts were completely different from what he said. Zhou Jiaxing deliberately placed the bag of "white powder" on Zhao Yunxiang's territory in order to frame her.
Zhou Jiaxing and Huangmao followed Gutiezhu and climbed into the wall of Yunyun Garment Factory. While Gutiezhu went to meet Gu Hongxing and his sister, Zhou Jiaxing put the snakeskin bag into the utility room.
Having sold "powder" in various entertainment venues in Kyoto for several months, Zhou Jiaxing certainly knew how much trouble this thing could cause people.
Zhou Jiaxing had already made plans. If he threw the package at Zhao Yunxiang's factory, he might be able to kill two birds with one stone.
