Chapter 402: That Morbid and Paranoid Game Development Character (41)
The matter of the killer caused a sensation among the lower-level gang members. Facing the corpse, Long Fei simply stayed indoors for the sake of his own life. Surrounded by many gang members, he at least felt a little safe.
It was the same today. I was thinking about winning over a few more cadres to my side, but before I could take any action, the gang leader's order arrived in front of me.
"What does Father want from me?"
While packing up, he did not forget to ask the messenger, but the man looked at him and quickly lowered his head, "This... How could the gang leader tell us about this? When the young master goes there, we will know it naturally."
Long Fei paused.
Something was wrong. In the past, everyone would rush to please him. As long as the news was not confidential, they would reveal some information in advance so that he could think of ways to deal with it in advance.
But now...
His eyes flashed, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to embarrass you on purpose. I just thought that if father is in a bad mood, I, as his son, can give him some advice. Those of you who are close to father can also feel more relaxed, right?"
What I meant was: I don't want to find out any information, I'm just thinking about you. If father gets angry, won't you be the ones who will be affected?
What's more, I am not only a gang member, but also my father's son. No matter how angry my father is, he will not do anything to me, so what is there that you can't say?
After hearing these words, the messenger felt that he would be ignorant if he didn't say anything. He hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice, "I don't know more, but before you, Officer Long Si was in there."
"The gang leader...is not in a good mood."
He stopped talking and closed his mouth. Long Fei knew that he couldn't get anything out of her and it wouldn't be in line with his personality to probe further, so he rubbed it with his fingertips.
What does Long Si want to see his father for?
Long Fei was suspicious, and his first reaction was that Long Si had betrayed him. However, everyone could see how much Long Si loved his son. He had the medicine in his hand, so Long Si was unlikely to betray him. Wasn't the other party afraid that he would run out of medicine and Long Ping'an's condition would worsen?
No, he couldn't gamble on this possibility, it would be better to wait and see.
His brain was working rapidly and when he came back to his senses he was already in front of Long Hai. When Long Fei bowed to greet him, he saw Long Si sitting on a chair drinking tea. His thoughts raced as he raised and lowered his head.
"Father, are you looking for me?"
"..."
After the greeting, the air fell into silence. Long Hai didn't say anything, and Long Fei remained bent over without moving, staring at the floor in front of him, as if he could see flowers.
He is considerate and friendly to his subordinates, dotes on his younger brother, and is respectful and filial to his father. Who wouldn't praise him for having a successor to Longhai?
Of course he was satisfied with Long Fei, otherwise he would not have let him get involved in gang affairs and be in charge of several trading lines. He even trusted people he employed and never thought of placing spies under his son's command.
But what did he get in return for his tolerance and indulgence?
In return for betrayal!
A palm as big as a palm fan shook the table, and a thunderous roar rang in his ears, and Long Fei subconsciously trembled.
"What a good son he is! If someone hadn't reported it to me, I, as his father, would still be kept in the dark!"
Long Fei was terrified, "Father, who whispered something in your ear? If I did something wrong, I will admit it. If you want to beat me or scold me, I will do it without hesitation. But I am really worried that you have been deceived by some villains!"
His eyes were fixed on Long Si, and he pointed out something. "I'm afraid that someone is deliberately trying to sow discord between us, the father and son, in order to cause internal strife in our Dragon Tiger Gang!"
Long Hai was breathing heavily. If Long Si had come to complain, he might have believed what Long Fei said. The key point was that Long Si not only did not say a bad word about Long Fei, but he praised him highly instead!
How can Long Hai trust Long Fei?
So, Long Fei was surprised to find that his father not only did not calm down, but became even angrier.
"Don't think I don't know what you mean! Long Si is loyal to me and tells me everything. You don't have to look at him. He hasn't said a bad word about you!"
"Instead of throwing mud at other people, why don't you think about how to argue with me?"
Seeing the veins bulging on his father's neck and his horrifying expression, Long Fei gritted his teeth secretly. Did that damn Long Si really not care about his son's life?!
Long Fei thought that Long Si would tell his father that he had bribed him, but he didn't expect that Long Si would say it so thoroughly. Isn't he afraid that his father will become resentful?
He couldn't figure it out, and time didn't allow him to think. Long Fei's palms were sweating. He knew that if he couldn't get through today, his future life would be difficult.
No one knew better than his father how strong his desire for power was.
He took a deep breath and knelt down with a thud. From the sound, it seemed that he was using quite a lot of force. For a grown man, his eyes turned red when he raised his head and his voice was choked with sobs.
"Does father suspect that I am trying to win people's hearts?"
Long Hai was stunned.
"I know that my father likes my younger brother more than me, and he personally takes care of all his affairs no matter how big or small, but what about me?" Long Fei smiled bitterly.
"I always thought that as long as I was obedient enough, you would see me one day. I worked hard, tried my best to do everything, cared for the gang members, and was friendly to my brothers. I just wanted others to say that you have such a good son like me."
Long Fei shed a tear, his tone was a bit disheartened, "I contacted Long Si because I wanted to share your worries and relieve you from the troubles. I wanted you to give me a little of the attention you put on your brother, just a little."
He lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists on both sides of his body, "I know I was wrong, father, you can punish me, I will accept it."
Long Si was secretly amazed, Long Fei's good reputation was not earned in vain, just looking at the tears that flowed at will, it was at least an amazing acting skill.
After adding some evasive remarks, the focus was shifted to "a child who did something wrong for a moment because he wanted to be noticed by his father."
Tsk tsk tsk, with these two attacks coming from both sides, wouldn’t Long Hai be fooled?
I turned my head and saw that it was true.
Long Hai's anger gradually subsided. Although his face still didn't look very good, it looked much better than before when he beat people up.
Long Si sighed, after all, he was his own son, and Long Si did not expect that this time of complaining would bring Long Fei down, so he stood up and bent over to persuade him.
"Boss, the young master just wanted your attention too much. It's understandable that he thought about it wrongly for a moment. I believe he has realized his mistake. Please forgive him."
After saying that, he sighed in a serious manner, "Alas, the boy in my family is no match for the eldest young master. He often despises me and tells me to leave quickly. When I think about it, I really envy you."
The step handed over was just right, and Long Si's magnanimity once again impressed Long Hai. He was loyal, sensible, and able to read people's expressions. He was lucky to have found such a good subordinate.
Pretending to be angry, he said, "You don't have to say good things for him. If you did something wrong, it's wrong. Kneel here for half an hour and reflect on it!"
"Think carefully about what to touch and what not to touch!"
"...Yes, father."
Long Fei breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a punishment of kneeling, which was much better than he had imagined. He had passed this level today.
Long Si...you'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands one day!
In his opinion, without Long Si, what happened today wouldn't have happened. As for speaking up for him just now?
Long Fei sneered. That wasn't really helping him. He just saw that he couldn't do anything to him, so he just followed his father's wishes and built a ladder for him.
"By the way, give me the medicine you have. You don't have to worry about the drug trading chain in the future. Leave it all to Long Si."
Long Hai's sudden words made Long Fei's heart bleed. That was a whole drug deal! It was a terrifying amount of money. He was able to win over most of those people because he was generous enough!
Does Long Fei dare to refuse?
"...I'll do as you say."
He doesn't dare!
Long Si, who was suddenly hit by a pie, was overjoyed. He nodded repeatedly to show his loyalty, and said one thing after another, praising people in every way.
Long Hai took in the expressions of the two men and nodded with satisfaction.
Does he believe what Long Si said?
I believed it, so I called Long Fei over.
Was he moved by Long Fei?
I was touched, otherwise the matter would not have been revealed so easily.
But all this is based on the premise of interests.
The drug trading chain not only cut off one of Long Fei's arms, but also made Long Si grateful to him, making him even less likely to betray him. This trading chain also completely destroyed the possibility of Long Fei and Long Si joining forces.
Long Hai had a blank expression on his face, but he was happy to see this happen.
What he was most worried about was that his men all had the same mouth and only one voice in their ears. Now that he thought about it, everyone was praising Long Fei, wasn't that "the same voice"?
If Long Si hadn't pointed it out today, he wouldn't have thought of this.
He stared at Long Fei with a serious look.
His son is very thoughtful...
Long Fei naturally understood such a blatant warning, so he not only nodded in agreement, but also showed no dissatisfaction on his face, as if he completely trusted his father.
"Master, the gang leader is discussing something inside, you——"
"Get out of my way! When did I need you to inform me about my visit to my father?"
The next second, Long Ming rushed in. Regardless of Long Hai's unclear expression, he sat directly on the chair on the other side and said coquettishly, "Dad, why do you only look for your brother and not me when you have something to do? I've grown up, and I also want to share your worries."
It was rare for his favorite youngest son to act like a spoiled child with him, and Long Hai's mood instantly turned from cloudy to sunny. He patted Long Ming's head with his big hand and laughed twice.
"You have finally grown up, and you know how to share my worries. It's not easy." He glanced at Long Fei and snorted, "Looking for your brother, it must be that he did something wrong."
Long Ming's eyes turned, "Then Dad will punish my brother to be my assistant?"
Long Hai nodded at him and said, "You are dreaming. You are not afraid of being laughed at by others if you let your brother do things for you."
"They can say whatever they want." Long Ming raised his head and said proudly, "The entire Dragon Tiger Gang belongs to you. Who dares to say bad things about your son?"
The second half of the sentence touched Long Hai's heart. He laughed twice, and the kindness in his eyes became more obvious. "You are quite good at talking, but you are right. If anyone dares to say a bad word about you, just tell me and I will have them skinned alive!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost tense, Long Ming changed the subject and said, "Dad, let brother get up. Although I don't know what brother did wrong, I think he knows it's wrong."
"It's not good to kneel here and be seen by others, right?"
Long Hai glanced at the silent Long Fei and waved his hand, "Since your brother has pleaded for you, then this will not happen again. If you make the same mistake again, don't blame me as a father for being merciless."
Long Fei took a deep breath, raised his head slowly, and said with a regretful and gentle look, "Thank you Ming'er, if you need me in the future, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to help you."
The two brothers looked at each other, and beneath their smiles were disgusted expressions that they wished the other party would disappear.
Long Fei smiled, and Long Ming suddenly became alert. The next second, Long Fei seemed to remember something and asked with concern, "I wonder how you are doing with the investigation of what my father asked me to do? It's been a few days, so there should be some results, right?"
He actually asked!
Long Ming was glad that he had a smart friend like Mo You, otherwise he would be helpless. He cursed Long Fei in his heart for being insidious and cunning.
"Yeah, how's the investigation going?" Long Hai consoled him, "If you don't have enough manpower, tell me anytime and I'll assign some more people to you."
What a bias! Jealousy spread like a tide. Long Fei tried his best to control his emotions. Every time he appeared with Long Ming, his father could not see him.
If he were responsible for this matter, Long Fei was sure that his father would frown and then dislike him for his inefficiency. But when it came to Long Ming, it would become concern and comfort. How could he not be jealous?
He still knew that Long Ming's people had not taken any action. Long Fei was calm and composed. Ha, let's see how you get away with it!
"Of course there are some results."
Ok?
Long Fei was surprised.
How is it possible? His people said that Long Ming stayed at home these days and did not go out at all. The people his father gave him also stayed where they were and did not move. How could there be any results?
Long Fei's surprise was caught by Long Ming, which made him feel as refreshed as if he had eaten an ice cream on a hot summer day. Recalling what Mo You had said, he cleared his throat and said.
"Dad, that killer has been attacking people around me and my brother for two consecutive days. It's obviously a provocation, making us live in fear. So I thought about it again and again and felt that he would attack again!"
Looking at Long Hai's solemn expression, he said, "The next one might be someone close to you, father."
"It's my son's fault for being incompetent. As soon as he thought about the killer reaching out to you, he didn't care about anything else and ran over here directly."
"No, you did a good job and what you said makes sense." Long Hai had only heard his subordinates describe the corpses and had not seen them with his own eyes, so he was very disdainful of their secrecy.
But since even Long Ming said so, he had to take it seriously.
"Xiao Fei, what do you think?"
Long Fei was already in a state of surprise, and was even more confused by what Long Ming said. Suspecting that there was a traitor under his command, he suddenly came to his senses.
"...Ming'er is right, but how can we guess the killer's mindset? In my opinion, we can take precautions, but it's best not to mobilize a large force, otherwise people will panic, which will be bad for you, father."
"I don't care about whether it's good or bad."
He would refute whatever Long Fei said, "Dad's safety is the most important. I would like to gather all the cadres and gang members back to make sure that killer never comes back!"
"Don't be willful." Long Fei frowned, "Father, as the gang leader, has a lot to consider."
"I--"
"Oh no! Gang leader!"
Someone suddenly broke in and interrupted their argument. Long Hai stood up and said, "Why are you so anxious? Tell me what's going on!"
The person who came in was the one who went to pass the message to Long Fei. At this moment, his legs were shaking like noodles and he simply sat on the ground and couldn't get up.
"Boss, our people found two more bodies. They are from our base!"
"The bodies were cut in half, just like the seven people from the previous two days! That killer is here again!"
"Fuck!" Long Hai kicked over the chair, stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Long Fei.
"Father! It's very dangerous outside now. We don't know where the killer is hiding. You have to take care of your own safety!"
Long Ming pushed him and said, "Dad doesn't need you to say anything when he's doing things. Brother, you talk too much."
Long Hai waved his hand and said, "Lead the way."
When passing by Long Fei, he said calmly, "I'm not afraid of death. If you are afraid, Xiao Fei, just stay here."
Of course Long Fei has to follow!
With so many people here, nothing will happen.
The huge stronghold has enough space to accommodate many gang members, and many of the patrol and night watchmen have a room here.
At this time, the entire stronghold was brightly lit.
Logically speaking, places with a lot of people are noisy, and everyone's whispers sound like a swarm of mosquitoes in your ears.
But now there are dozens of people here, and the air is eerily quiet.
"Where is the body?"
