Cantabile Youth - C298 dream-chasing
Ma Laoban’s question is obviously making things difficult for me. Killing my father is unfilial, betraying my friends is unfaithful, loyal and filial is what YiTian Gang values the most, what choice do I have?
YiTian Gang had sworn thirty-six oaths, the first one of which was “filial piety”. How could she kill his father? However, not killing him would be unfaithful to the gang, so she couldn’t. Both of her answers were wrong!
When the question about the Ma Laoban came out, the entire place was silent. Everyone was pondering over why the Ma Laoban would ask this question, even I myself, this question seemed like a question about me, but what about the truth, could it be to map my father, Chen Zhi?
returned to his nest and worshiped the position of the dragon head. However, this Ma Laoban had never given up his position as the dragon head, and even transferred my father to Yang City. As long as one wasn’t a fool, one would be able to see through the intentions behind his actions.
And the question this time is coincidentally about my father, what is Ma Laoban planning? Was he hinting to me that if he went against my father in the future, would I stand against my father on the side of the gang? Then the answer must be ‘B’, and I won’t kill him. No matter what, I will stand on my father’s side.
Since he had asked the question, the answer would either be A or B. However, in other words, if there were only these two answers, the Ma Laoban already had the answer in his heart.
Ma Laoban was the leader, he would definitely take the gang as the first priority. No matter how serious the crime was, he must have destroyed his parents to gain an A, so he was most likely right.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, this is not right, this is obviously bringing me into a mistaken state of mind. What I should be thinking is, why does Ma Laoban want to ask this question?
I rethink what he said. What did he say before that?
Oh right, he said that this question was a question on how to deal with it. So that’s how it is.
I finally understood what he meant. Putting aside my father’s sensitive identity, if I were to think about it, this problem wasn’t a single choice. There was also more than one way to deal with it.
Although I was thinking about this, in reality, only ten seconds had passed. In these ten seconds, Ma Laoban was still calmly waiting for my answer, the others were also looking at me, curious about what kind of answer I would give.
I sighed and said, “I’ll choose either one or both of them!”
When these words came out, the entire arena was shocked, even the military Sun Lin who was standing behind Ma Laoban had a look of curiosity, maybe he was surprised by my reply.
Ma Laoban smiled slightly: “Why?”
I explained, “It’s very simple. I think Mr. Ma mentioned A or B deliberately so that I could fall into the trap, and my answer is either or both. Make a comparison, the gang wants me to kill Dad, and I’ll do it, but it’s good to have the most subordinates around him. If he fails, then I’ll try my best.
If you force me to choose, I will commit suicide. This is not considered betraying the gang, nor will I kill dad, so there are many ways to deal with it, not just one. What you really want to test is this, not A or B, right, Mr. Ma?
After hearing my answer, everyone came to a realization and began to discuss softly. The Ma Laoban laughed out loud and said, “Good, the loyalty and filial piety are all present, I am very satisfied with this answer, as expected of A Zhi’s son. From today onwards, our YiTian Gang will have a great general!”
Just as the Ma Laoban finished speaking, Sun Lin immediately said: “We have passed the test.
I stood up, walking towards Xiang Tang behind Ma Laoban, picked up the incense, and knelt in front of Second Master Guan. After kowtowing three times, I shouted, “A cigarette has been placed in front of Emperor Guan, since ancient times.
After the ceremony, Sun Lin called for everyone to leave, and they all left one after another. I stood at the door, respectfully sending everyone off, and before Ma Laoban left, he even told me to follow Little Jie carefully, not to embarrass my father, and I also agreed that I got it.
Other than the heavily ill Jiang Tang, everyone else was present in eight elites of righteousness today. Hu Feng didn’t need to say anything, he took care of me and was very friendly, but the attitude of the others towards me was completely different. Even though the attitude of the old cunning foxes, Sun Lin, Qin Gui and Scorpion, appeared to be full of flattery, in reality, they didn’t know what the others were thinking.
In their hearts, they simply look down on me, especially unscrupulous. Last time, when I used Xie Shuai to make a wager with him, I had already formed a relationship with him, so I did not have any good impression towards him. He also did not even bother to greet me, raising his head high as if he was the most amazing person here.
I looked at him and sneered in my heart. This arrogant fellow will definitely be the first to die. You are awesome now. When this big bro gets mixed up, the first one I’ll deal with will be you!
After the guests left, little Jie Ge asked me to accompany him to chat, Yi Thirteen and Lin Likai also followed behind me, we walked together. Little Jie even praised me for being smart, saying that I answered the question very well.
I laughed and said that I was also lucky and that I could get away with randomly making things up. Little Jie told me to stop pretending, if I didn’t have a brain, how could I answer like this?
I still pretended to be low-key. I had just joined the association, so I had to keep a low profile when handling matters. Little Jie Ge said, “Little brother, do you know how many people die in the society every year?”
I shook my head and Little Jie said, “There are no less than three digits. Among them, there are two digits, which are for youngsters like you who have come out at the age of 15 or 16 and are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. This kind of person has the highest position, but he also dies the fastest.
Saying that, Jiege took a deep breath and continued, “We have lost more lives than those others, but have we lived any longer in the past few days? Or was it just wasting time? What difference was there between that and death? “Little brother, you are already luckier than a lot of people to have the chance to take the job.”
As I slowly digested what little Jago said, little Jago pointed to the shadow under the light and said, “Remember, ghosts have no shadows, only humans have shadows, and shadows are like the dreams of humans. What’s the difference between a person who has lost his or her dreams and a dead person? The shadow is always in front of you, and you need to chase after it for the rest of your life.
At this point, Little Jie patted my shoulder and earnestly said, “The path is chosen by you. Regardless of success or failure, you still have a dream for your life, a dream to follow forever. A dream to find forever!”
I forcefully nodded my head and said, “I understand boss, shadows are like the dreams of life. Those without dreams are just walking dead. Boss, I will definitely pursue my dreams. I will definitely succeed!”
Little Jie was amused: “Okay, now you are red stick, North of the city has 36 streets, I will give it to Sinking Dragon Street for you to manage, your monthly performance is 64, your company’s 6, your 4, OK?”
Of course I nod my head, this is my first territory, Sinking Dragon Street, what a good name, let’s see how I am going to awaken this dragon.
It was Yi Thirteen who brought me back. Along the way, Yi Thirteen reminded me, “Little Brother, this is the place where Little Jie was previously placed. Do you know what the street he gave you means?”
I said I knew that Little Jie wanted me to be like him, to be the leader of the group. Yi Thirteen said happily: “That’s right, but I still have to tell you, Sinking Dragon Street is where Little Jie is, there are a lot of people who have been with Little Jie for many years who are ranked ninth in their entire lives, you are new and are young, there will be a few who will not accept you, this will be very troublesome to deal with, it is not fine to offend them, but they will not listen to your words, and one of them will need to rely on you to judge and try to win people’s hearts.”
I nodded my head, Yi Thirteen is reminding me that the trouble in Sinking Dragon Street is not the territory, but rather those sly old geezers who occupy the place. For a young and ambitious hoodlum like me, I will naturally not accept being their boss, this can also be considered an experiential learning. If I can’t even handle these old geezers, how am I supposed to be the big brother of Jianghu in the future?
I also told me that if anyone disagrees, I can ask him to help out. On the surface, I promised on the surface, but in the bottom of my heart, I felt that even if I were to face something, I would not go to Yi Thirteen for help. Now, I need to go and train by myself, so how can I rely on others for everything?
The next morning, Li Jiaxin and I went to check out of school. Old Tsai was surprised and asked me if I was really ready to go to school, I told him that I was, and that I was prepared to go out to work.
When Old Tsai heard this, he did not say anything, but instead led me to complete the procedures, and did not speak about my disappearance during this period of time. I kept having the feeling that the identity of Old Tsai was not simple, and that he had already known about my matters, so he did not ask.
Old Tsai also told me that he was my master, and even if I don’t come here to study anymore, I would still have to learn tai chi from him in the future. I naturally agreed with him, in my heart, Old Tsai and Master Li are both people I respect the most.
After completing the procedures, we each went to bid farewell to our classmates. Dong Dong told me that in order to not let his family know, he could only help on the sixth day of the week. I said that it was fine, I alone would be fine, so Dong Dong happily said: “Little Brother, this is your first step, I believe you will succeed. When the time comes, I’ll have to ask for your help.”
I’ll do what I promised. Honestly speaking, I will do it, one of the reasons is because I want to get rid of Luo Wentao, and the other is because I want to get the Patriarch position of Dongdong.
However, I didn’t know at that time that the conflict between the clans would be that tragic!
