On Wednesday, February 8, 1995, on a green train bound for Beihai, Li Siwen looked longingly at Zhou Wenjing who was getting further and further away on the platform.

"I said, can you please stop acting like this? It's not like we're going to say goodbye forever." Shirley Song said sarcastically and sarcastically.

"Every time we say goodbye, I feel like my heart is being hollowed out." Li Siwen clutched his chest and said, "You don't understand."

"Okay, okay, don't be numb." Shirley Song rolled her eyes, and then said, "Would you like to take a rest? After all, it's a three-day journey."

"We have time to rest, so we might as well investigate the local situation first." After Li Siwen finished speaking, he glanced at the carriage warily.

"Don't worry, I've booked the whole carriage." Shirley Song said.

"It's different when you have money!" Li Siwen joked.

"Bang!" Shirley Song snorted: "I'm just afraid of trouble. By the way, I don't know what can be done to investigate the local situation. We are not #investigators."

"Do you know Zhucheng?" Li Siwen asked.

"I only know that it is a small seaside town." Shirley Song said.

Li Siwen casually took the map in the car, pointed to the bottom corner and said: "This is Zhucheng, also known as Beihai, the southernmost point of Xiguang Province. Across the Beibu Gulf is the famous Golden Triangle, and across the Qiongzhou Strait is Hong Kong and Macao.

Although Taiwan is a small town, it is a hub of commercial connections. The famous Silk Road in ancient times originated here."

"After your introduction, this place should be no worse than the Pearl River Delta." Song Shirley said.

"This place was really powerful in ancient times, but it is not good in modern times. The main reason is that it is too close to the Golden Triangle. Killing and stealing are everywhere. China will definitely not be able to vigorously develop here. The special geographical environment can create a city or destroy it. This

There is no need for us to discuss this aspect." After Li Siwen finished speaking, he changed the subject and said: "What I want to say is that the special environment here makes the crime rate in this city extremely high, but this is not the most dangerous thing."

"What is the most dangerous?" Shirley Song asked.

"The people here are very xenophobic. In their eyes, everyone who goes to other places is a foreigner, especially since this is a place where one can speak his mind." Li Siwen said.

"Yi Yan Tang?" Song Xueli frowned: "You mean the Zhao family?"

"Yes, that's the person we want to investigate." Li Siwen said softly: "You should know better than me about the Zhao family, right?"

"Yes, I have obtained relevant information. Zhao Zhenhai, the head of the Zhao family, is my grandfather's brother. He committed a crime in eastern Guangdong and was sentenced to ten years. It was my grandfather who fished him out through connections. Later he was found in Zhuhai.

The city formed its own force and had a fierce fight with other forces. In 1990, the Red Fox Foundation was established. My grandfather

Then he secretly helped him settle his opponents by dragging on the relationship. Today's Zhucheng is basically owned by the Zhao family. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the same." Song Shirley sighed: "It is precisely because their wings have become strong that they dare to violate the rules of the past.

It is said that people's promises will be revealed with time, but it has only been five years. It would be better to say that time will reveal people's hearts."

Li Siwen saw Shirley Song and thought of the old man again, and sighed: "Don't worry, with the old man's spirit in heaven, the problem will definitely be solved."

"I hope so, after all, I really want to see my dad." Shirley Song said to herself.

Li Siwen was stunned for two seconds and asked curiously: "Your father didn't see you when he entrusted him with the important task?"

"He entrusted him with an important task? I don't understand. I only know that the current leader of the Red Fox Foundation found me and asked me to take over this matter. Then he gave me a lot of information and said that this was an industry left by my grandfather during his lifetime.

He said that if this matter could be resolved, he would arrange for me to meet my father," Shirley Song explained.

"So you agreed? Isn't this too hasty?" Li Siwen frowned. Although he knew that Black Fox did this to protect Shirley Song, he still scolded the other party for this inhumane approach in his heart.

"I also feel that things are a bit strange, but they came with an official seal, and there are also some documents signed by my grandfather. They are indeed his notes. I have to believe it." Song Shirley touched the corner of her eyes: "I thought these things

You all know it."

"Uh... I guess you know." Li Siwen responded perfunctorily and continued to ask: "Besides the Zhao family, there are other two families. Have you obtained the information?"

"I got it. The other two families are the Wu family in Dongying, which belongs to our Qilu Province. I asked about it. This Wu family has a history of hundreds of years. It has been up and down for several generations. Now it covers the sky in Dongying with one hand.

, even the top leader of Qilu did not dare to stretch his hand over. The head of the family, Wu Yileng, and my grandfather were between life and death.

Another interesting thing here is that your Westward Journey products are blooming all over Qilu Province, but they can't get into Dongying. Sister Jiayu complained to me about this last time, but she chose to give up directly." Song Shirley said.

.

"I've never heard her mention this!" Li Siwen muttered.

"How can a busy person like you have time to care about such small things? Sister Jiayu will definitely not bother you if she doesn't bother you." Shirley Song chuckled.

Li Siwen was a little embarrassed and changed the topic and asked: "Where is the last family?"

"The Lin family in Shanwei. Although Shanwei is developing very fast now, the Lin family can still control the entire Shanwei wharf and is very powerful. The patriarch Lin Baoguo is even known as the Lin Tiger in the local area. He has several lives in his hands. He was also hunted down at the beginning.

My grandfather helped settle the matter, and he owes our family a huge favor." Shirley Song sighed.

Li Siwen did not continue, but clasped his fingers and said, "Zhucheng, Dongying, and Shanwei all seem to be in the dock business."

"Yes, it's not that these families don't want to go to the mainland, but it's hard to do side business in the mainland. Instead, the docks with chaotic jurisdiction have become their safe haven. My grandfather wrote in a letter that he had already

I sent people to communicate with several companies, with the intention of getting them to clear their names as soon as possible and get on the right track, but these companies did not listen to the advice at all, and as for the fund mentioned in grandpa’s letter, they turned a deaf ear.”

Shirley Song shrugged her shoulders.

"No one will spit out the bones in their mouth." Li Siwen finished speaking calmly and asked: "By the way, since the three companies are located in three places, why go directly to Zhucheng this time?"

"According to the meaning above, it was the Zhao family who proposed not to pay the money first. I heard that Zhao Zhenhai is in poor health now, and the family business is completely taken care of by his son Zhao Sheng. It was Zhao Sheng who proposed not to pay the money. The other two families

Seeing that the Zhao family was not friends with each other, they all started to agree, so to solve the root of the problem, naturally we have to go to the Zhao family first." After finishing speaking, Song Shirley added: "And I have invited them to gather in Zhucheng in the name of the president of the Red Fox Foundation.

."

"If we can call them to Qizhou, things will definitely be easier to handle." Shi Shi said casually.

"My grandfather doesn't even give him face, let alone a little girl like me." Song Shirley said, "Besides, she's not stupid, so how could she possibly participate in the Hongmen Banquet."

"That's right." Li Siwen said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, and then he fell on the berth and said, "That's all the information we know. The rest depends on God's will."

"God's will?" Shirley Song smiled slightly: "It's not easy to hear the word God's will from your mouth."

Shirley Song was right. In her eyes, the man in front of her was omnipotent. He could do anything even if God couldn't do it. How could such a person resign himself to fate?

However, Li Siwen was not thinking about this at all at this moment. He closed his eyes while lying on the bed, as if he had returned to the fishing village in Beihai.

The wind was howling and the rain was pouring. In his previous life, he was only thirteen years old. Whenever a storm came, he would stand at the door and wait for his father to come back. His bell-like eyes stared at the dark night sky.

Just one night.

"Okay, go to sleep, we have to go to school tomorrow." My mother's hoarse voice showed a bit of concern, but every time she finished a sentence, there would be a violent cough.

My mother is in poor health and relies on traditional Chinese medicine to maintain her health all year round. Her health problems were caused when she was a haenyeo. Fortunately, my father is in good health and is a well-known captain in the village. He has his own fleet.

On the surface, his family background is good, but in fact, like others, he lives a poor life, because most of the harvest of his father's fleet must be handed over to the Zhao family, which is now Zhao Zhenhai's power. If he does not hand over, those who

The fish and shrimps can only rot on the boat, and no one dares to collect them.

Li Siwen once asked his father innocently, couldn't he sell fish and shrimp to other cities? His father told him at that time that even if he did, he wouldn't be able to sell it.

He didn't quite understand it at the time, but now he understands, how can these unarmed fishermen fight against the forces that collude together? The Zhao family can cut off their livelihood just by venting their breath. The difficulty here is,

Only ordinary people understand.

As for Li Siwen taking over the fleet and gradually growing it, it was seven years later. At that time, China was severely punished and many forces suffered heavy losses. He also took the opportunity to successfully win over a group of people and start his own seafood business.

Thinking back on everything, Li Siwen's own voice seemed to echo in his mind.

"Mom, I don't want to go to school. I want to go fishing with my father at sea."

"Fishing is useless!"

"Who said there is no future? Three hundred and sixty years of work, and I will be the number one scholar. My father has promised me that when I am fifteen years old, he will take me to sea."

"Ahem... You brat, do you know how dangerous it is to go to sea? Mom, you are the only child, if something happens to me, how will I survive... Ahem... Ahem!"

"Mom, please drink some water quickly and stop talking. I won't be able to go to sea anymore!"

Li Siwen's face was filled with an extremely rare smile, and gradually, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

This scene made Shirley Song, who was eating, look away and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you okay? You didn't dream about your wife, did you? Why are you still crying?"

"I can't even shut your mouth when I eat." Li Siwen turned around and ignored the other party.

On February 11, 1995, the green train stopped at the Zhucheng train station after nearly three days of journey.

"Oh, I've been exhausted these three days." After leaving the station, Song Shirley stretched and looked into the distance and said, "Why is no one coming to pick us up?"

Li Siwen looked around and saw that this was the square outside the train station. Unlike big cities, the ground of the square was made directly of cement. It was full of cracks, and some of the pits still contained scale.

Moreover, there were not many people traveling back and forth in the entire square. Even on the main road in the distance, there were only a few motorcycles parked and even very few cars.

"Could it be the reason for the delay? After all, our car should arrive in the morning, and it's already the afternoon." Song Shirley looked at her watch and said to herself.

"If the Zhao family really values ​​us, they will have to wait even if it takes a day and night. Now no one from the Zhao family is here, which just shows their attitude. It seems that our trip will not be too smooth this time." Li Siwen smiled lightly: "

Don't think about this, find a place to stay first, and then go to the Zhao family, I would like to see what the Zhao family is capable of."

"Okay!" Song Shirley also felt that what Li Siwen said made sense, so she agreed and picked up her luggage. However, before taking two steps, a group of motorcycles drove up from a distance, a dozen of them, and the two of them arrived in the blink of an eye.

In front of them, they began to circle slowly around the two people.

"Is it Shirley Song?" Along with the roar of the motorcycle, a man wearing a helmet shouted loudly. His Mandarin was not very standard, but he could still hear it clearly.

Just as Shirley Song was about to speak, Li Siwen elbowed her and said, "I'm sorry, you got the wrong person. My girlfriend's name is Wang Nana."

Shirley Song also realized the problem and didn't dare to say anything. She thought she would deal with it, but the motorcycles surrounding them suddenly stopped and then all walked off.

Everyone took off their helmets in unison, and the man in the lead smoothed his long flowing hair in front of his eyes. He rubbed his hands and said, "Wang Nana? The young man is quite smart, but do you think we will believe it? As beautiful as she is.

Girls, you will never forget it once you take one look at it.”

After the man finished speaking, his playful eyes turned cold for a moment, he raised his hand and said: "You carry the man away, and tie the woman to the back of the motorcycle for me."

"Okay, big brother." All the younger brothers said in unison.

"Wait!" Seeing that everyone was about to take action, Li Siwen quickly stopped him and said, "Brothers are just asking for money. I don't care who instigates you. How about I pay three times the price?"

"Hey, he's still a rich man!" The man grinned lewdly and said, "But I'm sorry, I'm just a lustful person, not greedy for money."

"Three times is not enough, ten times is enough, right? Didn't you investigate her before coming here? The daughter of the Song family is very rich." After Li Siwen finished speaking, he quickly grabbed Shirley Song's bag and rummaged through it.

The thing inside said: "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you hurry up and get the money for your brother? It belongs to my mother-in-law!"
