After walking out of the bar, Zhu Tong and Qingmei made an appointment to contact each other and broke up.
Seeing the taxi Qingmei was riding disappearing into the sea of cars, Zhu Tong also called a taxi. As soon as he got in the taxi, Zhu Tong handed over two hundred-dollar bills.
"Go to Haidu Community in half an hour, and the money will be yours."
The driver was stunned for a moment, then stepped on the accelerator without any hesitation, and the taxi started swimming on the road like a fish.
"It's 10:27 now. Does arriving before 11 o'clock count?" The shrewdness of Shanghainese made the driver think twice and make sure again.
"Count it, count it! I want time and you want money. What we all need is safety." Zhu Tong was a little worried at this time. The driver was driving too fast.
Under normal circumstances, it takes at least forty-five minutes to get from Guangyuan Road, where the bar is located, to Huadu Community. It is these fifteen minutes that Zhu Tong wants to fight for.
At 10:58, the taxi stopped on the street on the side of Huadu Community. Zhu Tong praised: "Master, thank you for your hard work." Just as he was about to get out of the car, the driver handed over a business card: "My car is a new one. Don't worry."
It will take at least forty minutes for your car to travel this distance. Boss, I am a soldier and I am most concerned about credibility. If something like this happens again in the future, make this call and I will arrive as soon as possible. The whole Shanghai is better than mine.
Not many are fast."
Zhu Tong smiled and read the name on the business card: "Qin Keqiang, what a good name, I remember it."
After the taxi left, Zhu Tong took a look at the surrounding environment. There were few pedestrians on the street at midnight. The branches and leaves of the triangular maple and privet trees separated the street lights into mottled sparse shadows. Not far away, the lights at the entrance of the community were the brightest.
But Zhu Tong knew that it was unlikely that he would enter this high-end community from there.
The wrought iron fence wall is a good thing, both beautiful and practical, which is good; however, it is also the easiest to climb over.
After Zhu Tong turned over, he immediately walked across the lawn to Building 7 at the back. The apartment in Block C on the 15th floor was Qingmei's residence. He had placed a DV player there. What he had to do now was to take out the DV player before Qingmei came back.
memory card.
The password to enter the building did not change, which made Zhu Tong breathe a sigh of relief. He opened the door and entered Building No. 7. Zhu Tong hesitated for a moment and decided to take the elevator up. Although this was a bit risky, he knew that there was surveillance in the elevator, but
Time is of the essence and I don’t have much time to worry about.
At 11:50, he had already taken out the key in front of Block C, opened the door smoothly and walked in. Half a minute later, Zhu Tong took out a digital camera from the wooden ceiling, took out the memory card, and then had time to look at the suite.
.
There was no lack of life in the room, nor was there a lack of aura of women, but meeting Qingmei this time made Zhu Tong feel very bad. Since he did not dare to turn on the light, he could only use a miniature hand lamp to take a look.
The bedding on the bed was old, the refrigerator was full, and the furniture was clean; but the more this happened, the more uneasy Zhu Tong felt. He suspected that something had changed in Qingmei's life.
At ten minutes past eleven, Zhu Tong left the room, locked the door carefully, went up the stairs to between the fifteenth and sixteenth floors, lit a cigarette and waited quietly.
Half a year ago, when Zhu Tong targeted Wang Juefei of the Ocean Hospital, he put a lot of thought into the candidate to act as a bait; he had to have certain experience but not be too smooth, be charming and not have too much of a stale smell, and Qingmei was that person.
came into his sight.
Girls who want to join the entertainment industry and become famous mostly hang out in Beijing, where there are many directors and entertainment companies; Shanghai is known as the fashion capital, and model agencies are everywhere. Girls who think they have good conditions will often come here to look for a career.
The opportunity to be a top fashion model, Qingmei is one of them.
Zhu Tong chose Qingmei because she obviously had no chance of becoming popular. Time is cruel, especially in the fashion industry. People who are over twenty are basically considered old. But Qingmei, according to herself, is already twenty-five.
Years old.
At 11:20, the elevator stopped at the fifteenth floor, and the crisp sound of high-heeled shoes could be heard; Zhu Tong stretched his head and looked, and Qingmei walked to Block C while making a phone call, opened the door and went in.
An hour later, Zhu Tong appeared in another bar on Guangyuan Road. This time he just ordered a cup of black tea and was thinking about something while drinking.
As a disciple of the seventh-grade Zhu sect, one of the eight sects in the Jianghu, Zhu Tong has a deeper integration and understanding of modern society than any of his predecessors.
Zhumen has an ancient origin and is inseparable from Zhuyoumen.
"Zhu" refers to the mantra, and "Yu" refers to the cause of the disease. Zhu You's method, including Chinese herbal medicine, is different from traditional Chinese medicine. Zhu You's master uses the talisman to treat diseases, and there are also forbidden methods.
Spells, blessings, talismans, suggestion therapy, psychotherapy, etc.
Due to historical reasons, Zhuyou's treatment of diseases has only been spread secretly among the people, and has been mastered and applied by a very small number of people. Zhuyou has many branches and has its own sects. Generally, herbal medicines, strange medicines, spells, ancient symbols, and mantras are all used together.
.
Zhumen is one of them, which mainly uses medicine, stone and acupuncture. Treatment of diseases is a cover, and it also does things like exorcising evil spirits and exorcising ghosts. In the generation of Zhutong’s master’s master, due to the war and turmoil, Zhumen simply left Zhuyou.
The main line of the sect degenerated into a Jianghu sect. Since most of its members mastered the secret arts to pretend to be gods or deceive people as a profession, they were ranked as the seventh rank, which is only one rank higher than the eighth rank orchid of prostitution.
Zhu Tong's growth was also due to meeting a master who was careless about Zhu You's art. People in the world called him an old liar.
More than ten years ago, an old liar deceived a pretty widow in Shandong, and she actually had the idea of starting a family. Zhu Tong was able to study peacefully for a few years.
If Zhu Tong hadn't accidentally been admitted to college, that kind of life could have continued for a while.
Zhu Tong and his master were two liars, and their ID cards were both fake. When he married the pretty widow, his master also said that his home had been hit by a flood and that he could not go back. Fortunately, he had some medical skills and had many years of career.
He is a talkative man who has been trained in the world of martial arts. In that small town near the sea, it is easy to live a life.
Perhaps it was God's blessing that Zhu Tong had a good talent. Although he had never studied seriously since he was a child, the words he knew were sometimes taught by his master and senior brothers, and he learned them by reading newspapers and scrap books. When he was six years old, the little liar got a shabby old dictionary.
In the next few years, the broken dictionary became his only toy. Zhu Tong memorized the entire dictionary while running around, and became the most knowledgeable one among them.
This may be the reason why Master beat away his two senior brothers but kept him with him.
The marriage between the old liar and the beautiful widow was originally a scam. This scam was designed by Zhu Tong. Its origin was a marriage proposal in a junk magazine and several legal stories in the same magazine.
With this scam, Zhu Tong and Master pretended to be father and son, deceiving many widows and old maids into tears. After getting the money, the seemingly honest father and son of course disappeared. China is so big, there is always room for fraud.
But when the scammer met the beautiful and kind-hearted widow, Zhu Tong's master suddenly became lustful and actually made the lie come true, creating something like a family. In order to act, Zhu Tong borrowed money to study in a middle school in a small town.
Looking at the happy Master, the little liar often thought viciously: A liar is still a liar. Even if he pretends to be a sheep, he will show his tail one day.
He didn't expect that the old liar was really pretending to be the same this time. He stopped drinking and gambling, and even gave birth to a beautiful daughter with the pretty widow. However, there was some trouble in registering the child. Fortunately, the small place had its own
The advantage of a small place is that in the end the old liar spent some money to get rid of the problem.
Zhu Tong's name was fixed in a household register at that time.
The town is located on the seaside of a peninsula, with mountains on its back and the sea on its side, and the people are simple and simple. The two swindlers, big and small, quickly became famous and happy there.
The pretty widow opened a small restaurant in the town and also ran a hotel. In the second year, Zhu Tong's master opened a small pharmacy and also ran a medical service. It didn't take long for him to become a miracle doctor nearby.
He also raised his head high. Zhu Tong's current ability to treat patients was learned at that time.
The six years in the small town (dormant) are the time that Zhu Tong misses the most (Zhu Tong’s master always said that he would leave in a few days, but who knew it would be six years). After a year of adaptation and self-study, he has been able to study since the second grade of junior high school.
, Zhu Tong showed maturity and intelligence that were different from ordinary people, and became a famous figure in that middle school.
He is good at homework, good at getting things done, and the teacher likes him. Zhu Tong will soon become the king of children. In his eyes, his classmates are just a bunch of fools who just stretch out their hands and play with them. Even the gangsters in the small town will act like a confidant when they see him.
appearance.
It was also in that school that Zhu Tong had his first love, but the little liar's first love soon turned into a polyamorous relationship.
Zhu Tong realized the beauty of women in the summer of his third year of junior high school. By the time he started his first year of high school, the little liar had gone from a rookie to an experienced one, with four girlfriends around him at the same time. As a result, Zhu Tong, who had only been in office for two months,
The student council member was dismissed and punished; he seduced the mayor's daughter, a beautiful girl in the second grade of high school, as mature as a pear on September Mountain, juicy and tender.
Theoretically, the girl who punished him is one year older than Zhu Tong. In fact, only a ghost may know who is older and who is younger. Zhu Tong's theoretical father does not know his exact age; the little liar always thought that he should be younger than his classmates.
At the age of one or two, his height only stopped at 1.77 meters in his senior year of high school.
Happy time is always short-lived, and the storm of fate often shows its ferocious hands at inadvertent periods, gently destroying the warm bird's nest.
It was an August night, and all the teenagers who had just taken the college entrance examination were crazy.
Zhu Tong was rolling on the beach with a girl in his arms, lips touching lips, arms intertwined with each other, and the thin swimsuit was no longer an obstacle. The little liar was lost in thought, and the old liar came, ignoring the girl's screams,
They picked up the naked Zhu Tong and ran away. After running away, the two swindlers never returned to the town again.
On the way, Master scolded Zhu Tong like crazy. It was only at dawn that Zhu Tong realized that it was not Master who was showing off his tail, but himself.
Zhu Tong is really too smart. With the ability to memorize dictionaries that he has practiced since he was a child, his homework is hardly difficult in his eyes. The middle school in his small town is not a key school, but when the results of the college entrance examination came out, Zhu Tong actually passed the exam.
Ranking second in the province, that is a score that allows one to choose to study at any higher education institution in China.
The town was in a state of excitement. TV stations at the city and county levels came to interview, and officials at all levels came forward to congratulate. The town officials immediately put Zhu Tong's family under special protection.
The old liar finally realized the danger, ignored many things, and took Zhu Tong away and ran away. The old liar's face could not be shown on TV. There were at least ten widows in China looking for him, and there were at least three arrest warrants related to him.
Because he ran away in a hurry, the swindler had to leave a lot of money he had earned over the past few years to the pretty widow and her young daughter. They didn't have much money around them.
After escaping to Qingdao, the two scammers took a breather.
The old liar would only scold the little liar for ruining his life and happy old age. The comfortable life eliminated the old liar's ambition. His longing for the pretty widow and his little daughter turned the old liar into a complete useless person.
The little liar has grown up. He wandered on the Qingdao trestle for a long time and finally determined the direction of his life: there was no way back but to enter the world again.
That night, the little liar Zhu Tong swore to the old liar: From now on our life will only be better, and we will never be short of money. Even if you want to find another pretty widow, it will not be difficult.
Of course the old swindlers don't believe it. The harsh reality is that they only care about face, and most of the money they have is used to make trouble.
When the little liar said these words, he only had a pair of shorts and an advertising shirt, which he bought cheaply at a street stall; the shorts were three and a half yuan, and the advertising shirt was more expensive, four yuan. On the front was printed: There is no illness;
Printed on the back: If you don’t have anything, don’t have money.
How much credibility can a kid whose whole body is worth only seven dollars and fifty cents have?
However, after listening to the lofty words, the old liar's premonition turned into reality. The little liar reached out for money and wanted all the money the old liar had.
As a disciple of the Zhu sect, the old swindler at least maintains a tradition: neither stealing nor robbing is what reckless men without wisdom do; as a sect that has been passed down for a long time, the disciples of the Zhu sect can only earn a living and make a living by relying on their craftsmanship.
"Any business requires capital. I don't have a dime. Do you want me to steal it?"
For the sake of tradition, the old swindler finally compromised and gave the only 500 yuan he had to the disciple who was closed for 450 yuan. Then he bought two bottles of liquor and a bag of peanuts, sat on the beach, drank, and shed tears.
On the third day, the little liar took the old liar into a luxury bathing center, opened a large box, cleaned it, and brought out a set of clean clothes.
The old liar was still half drunk, and he was surprised and scolded the little liar for spending money indiscriminately, but the little liar immediately blocked his mouth with two thick stacks of banknotes, and then told him the origin of the money.
Within three days, Zhu Tong first found a person who forged documents. There were calls like this everywhere. He spent fifty yuan to buy an ID card without using his own photo. He specified that he wanted someone from Qingdao who was 20 years old.
up and down.
Using this ID card, Zhu Tong went to the bank to apply for a card; then he squatted for a long time next to a few people collecting old mobile phones. When it was getting dark, he used 200 yuan to collect a mobile phone and another 100 yuan to buy one.
Phone card, a brand new charlatan is fully equipped and officially out.
This phone card only made three calls, and Zhu Tong's bank card had 20,000 yuan. Of course, the old liar did not believe it. He had watched the young liar Zhu Tong grow up. Although he was smart, he had never done anything alone.
A "business".
"I remember that because of the small drugstore and your wife's small hotel, you gave money to the mayor and the police station director; the mayor's was five thousand, and the other one's is. Although I don't know how much it is, based on your habits, it is probably about the same.
.The 20,000 yuan was given by the mayor of the town, and the 20,000 yuan sent to the director of the local office should arrive tomorrow."
After Zhu Tong finished speaking, the old liar opened his eyes in surprise, as if he had just realized that the little liar had grown up. But his next move was to quickly put on his clothes, dragging the little liar Zhu Tong to the station, and then walked up to a
They got into the car and left; on the way, the old liar disassembled the young liar's cell phone and threw it out of the car window.
One day later, the two of them drove three cars out of Shandong and arrived in another city. In a dirty little hotel, the old liar formally taught the martial arts to the closed disciples.
It's late, outdated, and cliche. Although Zhu Tong was listening at the time, he didn't pay much attention to it.
But when Zhu Tong went to withdraw the money the next day, his account had been locked; only then did the little liar realize that the old liar's half-life was really not in vain.
The rivers and lakes change and time passes, but the rivers and lakes are always the rivers and lakes of people.
Although the old liar's deception has little practical use, the basic thing is still precious, and that is the soul of the deception.
You can't trust anyone except your fellow disciples.
It's easy to make money through extortion, but the risks are huge. When doing such side business, try to do it alone. If you must cooperate, pay to hire strangers.
This is the sentence that the old liar said the most, and it is also the sentence that Zhu Tong benefited the most. After several years of being involved in the world, the little liar finally understood that the master had traveled around the world all his life, and although he was a womanizer, a drinker and a gambler, he had never been to jail.
This is what I rely on except experience.
From then on, the little liar Zhu Tong never mentioned any of his "business" to the master, which made the old liar very satisfied.
Make a decision and move with one strike, no matter whether you win or lose. This is another experience of the old liar; he said: "In our industry, we are most afraid of persistence. We must learn to follow the trend, be fully prepared in advance, and know what we know."
Advance and retreat; after taking action, you must leave immediately regardless of success or failure. You must not take risks because you invest too much. You must know that there must be a gap in every hundred secrets, and that is courting death!"
Regarding this point, the little liar's first action has already confirmed it, so he can only accept it with an open mind.
People make plans, and God makes things happen. Zhumen believes in ghosts and gods, so he can't do anything to perfection at any time, and he can't be too greedy. To give others a chance is to leave a way for himself.
Zhu Tong, an old liar, also agrees with this point. He has specialized in deception in the past few years. He always decides on a reasonable price after looking at the dish and finding out the target's affordability. The success rate is over 90%.
As for the theory of ghosts and gods, there are few people who live in the world who are not superstitious. The Zhu You sect comes from Xiangxi, and its skills of ghosts and gods are the best in the world. The seventh-grade Zhu sect has also inherited this tradition.
The old swindler never does "business" in the western Hunan area. Firstly, he is afraid of offending the ancestors and gods, and secondly, because the old swindler has no interest in such things as pretending to be gods and ghosts, which is slow to make money and dangerous.
Zhu Tong was also influenced by the old liar and only knew a few secret recipes of the world, so he still chose practical learning. Having experienced the baptism of modern education, he was still more skeptical about the magic of ghosts and gods.
The old liar also told many quack truths, such as quitting sex, and he himself couldn't live without women, but of course the little liar didn't care.
For example, act according to your ability. The old liar said that the performance of deception is directly proportional to your own cultivation level. Just like a swordsman, if your swordsmanship is high, everything will turn into magic in your hands. A mouse has no chance to deceive a tiger.
The little liar admires this very much. His "business" has grown from small to large, and he has accumulated experience step by step to reach where it is now.
The last piece of experience of the old liar is that when you are a liar, you should try to be as low-key as possible. You should not be in the limelight or too conspicuous. Only by being ordinary can you be true. This is after the little liar Zhu Tong defrauded a celebrity of 500,000 yuan.
Only the liar teaches the little liar a lesson, and at the same time, he gives the little liar all the things he has at the bottom of the box.
In the following years, the old liar resumed his life of drunkenness and gambling. He did not do any "business" and relied on small liars to support himself. He wandered around the coast and was finally thrown into the sea from the gambling boat to feed the fish the year before last.
.
Zhu Tong knew the news was good, and cried bitterly for a few minutes. Later, when he settled the accounts, he became angry again. He had made millions in those years, but most of them were squandered by his master. With such a master, I don't know
Is a blessing or a curse.
Two years have passed, but Zhu Tong often thinks of the old liar. He didn't even leave a name. He only left a daughter in a seaside town in Shandong and passed away with all his secrets. Zhu Tong had no relatives since he was a child. After his master passed away,
