"No, big brother, look, this is not about money. I really can't go today. If you asked me to pull you during the day, I would have left without saying anything. But it's really late now. My wife is still waiting for me at home.”The driver was clearly in a difficult position.
However, Li Fei didn't care if he was in a difficult position. The most important thing now was to save his father. Everything else was not as important as this matter.
Li Fei grabbed the driver's collar and roared angrily,""Just leave when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”
" Yes, yes, yes... go, go..." The driver was so angry that he was shocked. He hurriedly agreed and put the gear on, but his hands were shaking.
On the way, Li Fei was in no mood to talk, and the driver was even more unwilling to provoke this god of plague. He could only carefully drive the car out of Cheng County and straight in the direction of Zhongchang City.
After leaving the Urban area, there were no street lamps along the way. They could only rely on the light from the headlights of the taxi to carefully move forward. It was like a faint light in the vast black sea, swaying into the endless darkness.
" Master, Master, a call is coming. Master, Master, a call is coming…" The driver suddenly rang. He quickly took out his phone from his pocket to answer the call.
"Where did you go? Why aren't you back yet?" As soon as the call was connected, a woman's voice came from the other end. It was sharp and sharp, like a shrew cursing on the street. Li Fei could hear her voice from the passenger seat at the side, which showed how sharp her voice was.
"Um, honey, don't be angry. I'm pulling a customer now. I'm on the way to Zhongchang City now. I probably won't be able to return tonight.”When the driver heard his wife's voice, he did not even dare to fart and immediately lowered his voice.
"What is it? To Zhongchang City? Are you lying to a three-year-old? Who would go to such a faraway place in the middle of the night? Tell me honestly, did you go to cheat?”The woman's voice on the phone continued to be noisy, making Li Fei, who was already in a bad mood, even more annoyed.
"It's true, honey. How would I dare to lie to you? If you don't believe me, I'll let him say something.”After the driver finished speaking, he handed the phone to Li Fei and said," Big brother, I'll have to trouble you. My life and death are in your hands."”
After the driver finished speaking, he held Li Fei up pitifully. Initially, Li Fei was frustrated and did not have the mood to talk to that shrew-like woman. However, he felt that the driver was really pitiful. He could not shirk his responsibility. If he had not forced him to pull him, he would not have ended up in this state. Li Fei thought about it and took the phone. He cleared his throat and said,"Hello, Sister-in-law. I asked Big Brother to send me to Zhongchang City for an urgent matter and delayed his return. I'm very sorry. I hope you won't scold him anymore.”Li Fei said all this in one breath and quickly handed the phone back to the driver. He didn't want to talk to such a woman for a minute.
The driver gave Li Fei a thumbs-up to show his approval. Then, he took the phone."Hey, Honey, do you believe me now?”
However, his wife said over the phone,"Believe your head. Don't think that I don't know that it was those scoundrels you found to help you smooth things over. In fact, they were preparing to go to the brothel together, right?”
"What is it? Hello? Wife? What did you say? Sigh, I'm in someone else's village. The signal is bad. I'll hang up first.”The driver might not be able to stand his wife's noise, or he might be scolded by his wife in front of others. It was really embarrassing. After all, every man had dignity. He held his phone far away and hung up as he spoke. Then, he was afraid that his wife would call back again, so he simply switched it to airplane mode.
"Hehe, my wife is like this. She's always making a fuss.”After the driver hung up the phone, he said to Li Fei awkwardly.
"It's okay. Speaking of which, I should be the one to apologize to you. After all, it was because of me that you were scolded by your wife.”
"Haha, brother, that's not right. My wife dares to scold me? She's just a mouth. Let's see how I'll deal with her when I get back.”
After the two of them started talking, the topic gradually increased. The driver realized that Li Fei was not that difficult to get along with.
When Li Fei heard the driver's words, he smiled noncommittally. He wasn't in the mood to joke or chat. However, the driver didn't notice and continued talking to himself.
"You must have something important to do in Zhongchang City, right? What is it?"
"Yes, it's a private matter." Li Fei said these words and did not say anything else. The driver saw that Li Fei was unwilling to say more, so he did not ask anymore. The two of them fell silent.
However, taxi drivers were usually very talkative. Perhaps it was because they couldn't find a companion to talk to in the car most of the time when they went to work. It wasn't easy to get someone to talk to, so of course, they had to seize the time to talk more. Similarly, the taxi driver was also a chatterbox. He couldn't stay idle at all. The two of them were silent for a while before he started talking again.
"I'm telling you, I'm not bragging, but in Cheng County, you can ask the older generation from more than ten years ago and see who hasn't heard of my name. At that time, I was young and frivolous. I was racing with others in the North Ring. I was a mile ahead of them.”The driver talked about his past and became high-spirited. It was as if he was still reminiscing about those passionate years.
"At that time, Cheng County was still under the command of Lord Hu. At that time, there was a guy who everyone called Boss Zhu. At that time, Boss Zhu was the same as Lord Hu now. He was also an existence who could cover the sky with one hand in the entire Cheng County.”
"Oh? Then why was Xiao Hu dominating Cheng County now? Where did Boss Zhu go?”When Li Fei heard the driver talk about the past in Cheng County and mentioned Xiao Hu, his interest was immediately piqued. The mission given to him by the higher-ups was to take down Xiao Hu, so as long as he heard news about Xiao Hu, he would pay special attention to it. After all, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy would win every battle.
"Hmm…that's hard to say. Let's talk about what happened a few years ago. I heard that Master Hu was once a soldier. A few years ago, Master Hu retired from the army and returned to a small place like Cheng County to develop. At first, no one called him Master Hu. At that time, he brought two or three people to work under Boss Zhu. Among them, there were people like Liao Qing and Zheng Qian. Heh, these people aren't half-men, they all have some skills…"
As the driver spoke, he suddenly stopped, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and gave one to Li Fei. Li Fei took out a lighter and lit a cigarette. He asked,"What happened after that?"
The driver took a puff of his cigarette and said,"And then? Ha, these people all had some skills. They were ruthless and efficient. They had already shown their talents not long after they arrived at Boss Zhu's place. They had indeed eliminated many things for Boss Zhu. Boss Zhu trusted Lord Hu and the others more and more, especially to Lord Hu. He was simply too good to him. He was just short of acknowledging him as his godson.”
At this point, the driver took another puff of his cigarette and suddenly changed the topic."Later, on Boss Zhu's 60th birthday, Xiao Hu gave Boss Zhu a congratulatory gift. Boss Zhu was very happy. He let his subordinates accept all the gifts from others, and Xiao Hu was deeply appreciated by Boss Zhu. His congratulatory gift had just been presented to Boss Zhu. Boss Zhu might have wanted to express his love for Xiao Hu, so he immediately opened the congratulatory gift with a smile. However, the moment Boss Zhu opened the gift box, his smile suddenly froze. His face was gloomy. When others saw that the atmosphere was not right, they all wanted to go up and check what kind of gift it was. However, Boss Zhu directly closed the gift box, so everyone could only give up. However, Boss Zhu did not smile at all throughout the banquet. That night, the group of people parted on bad terms. On the second day, Boss Zhu announced that he would retire from the martial world. In the future, all the sect's businesses would be handed over to Boss Hu to manage. At this point, the king of a generation declined, and another king rose. Xiao Hu took over all of Boss Zhu's men and territory, and became the underground emperor of Cheng County. Sigh, it's really the twilight of a hero."
After the driver finished his story, he didn't forget to lower his head and look dejected, as if he was reminiscing about those things in the past and feeling sorry for the big boss of his generation.
"What is Xiao Hu's gift to Boss Zhu?”After Li Fei listened to the driver's story, he couldn't help but be interested in this detail.
"Heh, even if you ask me, I don't know. It should be said that other than Xiao Hu and Boss Zhu, no one knows what the congratulatory gift is.”The driver really didn't know. After all, he might not have been there at all. He just heard about it.
"Oh, so you mean that Xiao Hu secretly schemed against Boss Zhu once and forced Boss Zhu to abdicate?”Li Fei asked with interest.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't tell anyone that I said that. I didn't say that. If Master Hu found out about this, would he have a good life in the future?”The driver quickly waved his hand when he heard Li Fei.
"Aiya, there's only the two of us here now. Who would tell anyone? If you trust me, tell me. If you don't trust me, then forget it." In order to get some information about Xiao Hu, Li Fei did his best. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the driver. He took out a lighter and lit it for him. He forced a smile, but because he was worried about his father's safety, his smile looked a little unnatural.
"Alright, then I'll tell you, but you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone. I'm telling you because I think you're a good guy.”The driver took another puff of his cigarette and finally made up his mind. He did not forget to remind Li Fei again.
"Aiya, don't worry. I won't tell anyone.”Li Fei made his promise with a serious expression.
"Well, that's good." The driver paused for a moment before continuing," After Xiao Hu became the boss, some people suspected that Xiao Hu forced Boss Zhu to give up his position to him, especially those who were once Boss Zhu's trusted aides. They thought so and used this as an excuse to disobey Master Hu's management. They made a fuss and asked Boss Zhu to come back and take charge of the gang's affairs. This was especially true for those who had caused a lot of trouble in the past. For some reason, they had quietly disappeared. No one dared to mention this matter again, and Xiao Hu did not give a direct explanation for this matter. After that, no one dared to ask him again.”
The chauffeur took another puff of his cigarette. Although he didn't say it directly, Li Fei understood what he meant. He also thought that Xiao Hu had used some tricks to get this position. It was just that like those people, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
