This old man was the one who had been with Xie Wendong for several months and taught him how to practice Tai Chi. He could also be said to be Xie Wendong's master. Seeing the old man in this situation, Xie Wendong felt a sense of intimacy. He felt like a child who had been wronged and wanted to cry. His nose was sour and his eyes were wet as he asked, "Old man, did you save me?"
The old man sat down next to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief: "I saved you! It's also the result of your own efforts! I was right about you, you are indeed an amazing talent!"
Xie Wendong let out a long breath and held back the tears in his eyes. Men only bleed, not cry. He asked in doubt, "Are you the old man that the tall man was talking about?"
The old man was slightly startled, then he knew who Xie Wendong was talking about, and said with a smile: "Yes! Haha, as people get older, their names gradually change." Then he took Xie Wendong's hand and said: "It feels so good to be young! Just like you, you won't have a big problem even if you get such a serious injury. If it were me, I'm afraid I would be dead!"
Xie Wendong had great respect for the old man, and had been like this since the day he learned Tai Chi from him. He hurriedly said, "Grandpa, you are not old yet! I remember the first time we met, I couldn't even get past you!" As he spoke, Xie Wendong recalled the scene when he first met the old man and smiled sincerely.
The old man smiled and said, "You still remember this!" Then he changed the subject and said, "Do you know who assassinated you this time?"
Xie Wendong thought back to what the mustache guy said. Although he didn't understand, he knew it was either Japanese or Korean. He had nothing to do with South Korea or North Korea. The only thing he had was with the Soul Collector Gang. Xie Wendong said with certainty, "It must be someone sent by the Soul Group!"
The old man praised secretly and nodded, "Yes, they were sent by the Soul Group. Don't think you were being very covert when you assassinated the Soul Collector Gang. In fact, the Soul Group knew about it a long time ago. Although there were only two attempts to assassinate you, they were all very well planned. You are lucky to be alive! Moreover, the Soul Group will not give up easily on a decision they have made. If they fail this time, there will be another time. You can't guarantee that you will die in their hands one of these times."
Xie Wendong was sweating profusely when he heard this. He wondered why the old man knew so much about this. He must be someone extraordinary. He asked hurriedly, "Grandpa, who are you?"
The old man laughed and suddenly asked, "Do you know Hongmen?"
Xie Wendong's jaw almost dropped when he heard this. Hongmen? It was a legendary gang. It could be said to be the founding gang of the Chinese underworld. Even ordinary people should have heard of it, but it is not very famous now. Most people think that Hongmen disappeared with the founding of New China. Xie Wendong was no exception. He was so shocked when he suddenly heard this name that he was speechless. After a while, he asked, "Old man, are you from Hongmen?"
The old man stood up, looked out the window, and said with emotion: "That's right! But the Hongmen now is no longer the Hongmen of the past. It is completely different!"
Xie Wendong didn't understand what the old man meant by this, and wanted to ask something else, but was stopped by the old man. "You haven't recovered your strength yet, so you shouldn't talk too much. Take a rest first! Don't worry about your injuries here, no one dares to come here to commit a crime! There is a phone next to you, if your friends are worried, you can call back to say hello! Okay, I'll go out first, and we'll talk tomorrow!"
After saying that, before Xie Wendong could react, the old man had already turned around and left. Xie Wendong looked at the closed door for a long time and sighed. It was true that one cannot judge a person by his appearance. He did not expect that the old man he had been in contact with for two months was actually from the Hongmen, and it seemed that his status was not low. Then why did he go to J City? Was it not just to teach him Tai Chi? Xie Wendong shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He got up and called Sanyan on the phone beside his bed.
"Brother Dong, are you okay? The brothers in the gang are worried to death. Where are you now? How come even Lao Sen can't find any news about you? Are you in danger now?" Sanyan received a call from Xie Wendong and asked a bunch of questions anxiously.
Xie Wendong laughed and answered them one by one: "I'm fine, and I'm not in danger. I'm safe here! I just met a... a senior, don't worry! By the way, what did the police say about the New Century incident?"
Sanyan felt relieved after hearing this and said with a smile, "What else can we do? Damn it, six of our brothers died and several were injured. I still have to find the police to settle accounts! What's wrong with the public security in H City? Liu Dexin also came. He pretended to investigate for a while and left without saying anything. I hid the guns and goods in a hidden place. They didn't find anything. Besides, we are victims. What can they do to us?!"
"Yeah!" Xie Wendong smiled and said, "It's good that you're okay! Those killers are from the Soul Group, you better be careful, you can't act rashly before I go back, they are not something we can easily deal with!"
Sanyan agreed and asked, "Brother Dong, when will you come back?"
Xie Wendong didn't know either, and said vaguely: "Not necessarily, let's see what happens!" Xie Wendong was a little tired, and said to Sanyan: "Tell everyone that I'm fine! Okay, I'm going to sleep!" After that, Xie Wendong hung up the phone. On the other end, Li Shuang has been busy since Xie Wendong called. He tried to grab the phone and wanted to say a few words to Xie Wendong, but Sanyan dodged him. When Sanyan finally stopped moving, Li Shuang grabbed the phone and said loudly: "Brother Dong, where are you?" "Beep~~~Beep~~~" "You damn 'Erlang Shen', can you die if you let me talk to Brother Dong?"
Sanyan took the phone back, walked out of the room, and said with a smile: "Don't you know that playing high-pitched music for a long time will damage the phone?! I spent nearly ten thousand to buy this '998'!" After that, Sanyan wiped the phone like a treasure and put it in the broken room.
"You damn..."
Xie Wendong did not fall asleep immediately after lying on the bed. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and thought about what happened in the past few days while smoking. He was assassinated twice, but he escaped danger. However, as the old man said, he could not guarantee that he would die under their cold guns. What kind of organization is the Soul Group? He did not know anything about it, but it knew him very well. How to deal with it? Xie Wendong could not think of a good idea for a while. He thought to himself that maybe the old man could give him the answer! After thinking about it, Xie Wendong turned over and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but I felt an itch on my face. Xie Wendong scratched it, turned over and continued to sleep. After a while, his face felt itchy again, and he could hear a giggle in his ear. Xie Wendong opened his eyes in a daze, and a young and beautiful face was only three inches away from him, with big watery eyes looking at him without blinking. The owner of the big eyes was a little stunned when she saw Xie Wendong suddenly wake up, and took a half step back with a ruddy face. Although he lowered his head, he still looked at Xie Wendong from time to time with the corner of his eye.
Xie Wendong could see clearly at this time that it was a young girl who was two or three years younger than him. When he saw her face clearly, Xie Wendong was shocked. She looked so familiar! After a long while, he said, "You are... You are Jin Rong?!"
The girl looked at Xie Wendong, nodded, and her face turned even redder.
"Haha!" Xie Wendong said to himself that there were too many surprises today. He didn't expect to see the little girl he rescued from Ma Wu three years ago again. It was just that after three years, the little girl had grown into a graceful young lady. Xie Wendong stood up, the wound on his body was still a little painful, but he didn't care so much. When he came to the girl, he didn't know what to say.
The girl also blushed and lowered her head without saying a word. The two of them were silent for a long time, and Jin Rong suddenly remembered something, holding Xie Wendong's arm and said, "Grandpa said that your injuries have not healed yet, and you can't get out of bed!" As she said that, she pushed Xie Wendong onto the bed.
Xie Wendong was hugged by Jin Rong, and he felt that she was different from three years ago. At that time, she was just a little girl, but now she was a young girl. His head was a little swollen, and his thinking became slow. He asked curiously, "Who is your grandfather?"
The girl laughed and said, "I won't tell you!"
Looking at the girl's innocent smile, Xie Wendong felt as if he had gone back five years in age. He grabbed Jin Rong's hand and said childishly, "No! I must know!"
"Haha!" The girl laughed and said, "I just won't tell you!"
"You said that!" Xie Wendong put his hand under Jin Rong's armpit, causing her to laugh. Soon she surrendered, panting and saying, "I said it, I said it!"
Xie Wendong had no choice but to reluctantly move his hand away. Jin Rong pulled at her wrinkled clothes and said, "My grandfather is the old man who taught you Tai Chi!"
"Oh!" Xie Wendong didn't find it strange. When Jin Rong appeared, he guessed that the old man must have a special relationship with her. Now that it was confirmed, Xie Wendong understood why the old man ran all the way to J City. He was just surprised by the old man's method. He saw the old man practicing Tai Chi for several days in a row, and he was curious. If he was not curious, how would the old man find him? Xie Wendong smiled and shook his head. Maybe this is called fate! But the old man is an important figure in Hongmen. Ma Wu may not even be a fart in his eyes. How could his granddaughter be kidnapped by Ma Wu?
As Xie Wendong was thinking, the door opened and the old man walked in with a smile. Jin Rong quickly stood up and called him grandpa. The old man said to Xie Wendong, "Wendong, you have seen Rong Rong before, haha, I have to thank you for saving her from that Ma Wu!"
(Wu Ji: Oh! What a failure! I thought everyone had already forgotten the old man who taught Taiji as a minor character, but I didn't expect everyone to remember it! Haha, in fact, if you look carefully, you can see that the protagonist rarely calls people "you".)
