Destiny is ashes

Chapter 75 Running away with a bucket
I am an accountant.

What a profound and heart-wrenching self-narration.

Just from this sentence, An Jing completely understood why Huo Qing was being stared at and tormented like this.

He understood and said, "Tell me, is it the fire dragon that burned the warehouse or the cash that is missing? Or is it that someone signed for the virtual and non-existent intangible materials?"

"Actually, I have both." Hearing this, Huo Qing felt even more embarrassed: "Besides, I am also Uncle Big Spear..." He squinted at the burly man at An Jing's feet: "Their finance and warehouse management."

"Then you are really amazing."

An Jing was completely in awe: "So what exactly is going on?"

It's actually very simple. Gang members...if you don't take advantage of the gang, you're a bastard.

In the Day Tiger Gang, all the middle and high-level gang members with some power are using the gang to make money.

The same is true for the big guns.

This group of people was in charge of managing several armories of the Day Tiger Gang and resold a lot of gang supplies. Huo Qing had been helping them settle the accounts.

Daqiang is one of the uncles who took care of Huo Qing after his parents died, and he was also the one who brought Huo Qing into the Day Tiger Gang.

Out of gratitude, Huo Qing was also willing to help Da Qiang solve these problems.

There is one less item entered into the inventory after the resale, and one more item spent during the operation. After a while, the accounts can still balance out.

Trapped in this vortex, Huo Qing is no fool. He knows that he is completely tied to Da Qiang and his gang. So even if his neighbors advise him not to continue to be involved in gangs, he can only smile bitterly and shake his head.

But this time...

"If it's just one or two thousand good deeds, it's not so bad. We can create a car accident and say that the supplies were intercepted by a rival gang. In order to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy, we can destroy them. Although this kind of thing will cause the boss to reprimand us, it's not a problem."

Huo Qing helped the unconscious Master Liu into the shed nearby, and told An Jing the truth: "But Big Gun and his men were too greedy this time, and took away thousands of thousands of Shan Gong's worth of supplies."

"If it were normal times, we would have burned down the warehouse, the dormitory and the base next to it, and put the blame on the Flame Claw Gang."

"Although there is a high probability that I will be held incompetent afterwards, at least I can save my life."

"But this time...without any warning, the gangs suddenly started fighting each other. The people from above will definitely come to inspect the war preparations."

At this point, Huo Qing smiled reluctantly: "I was originally thinking about how to solve this problem... but now it seems that there is no chance. The people above must have checked the warehouse reserves."

"While I was still thinking about how to settle the account... Uncle Big Gun had already made a plan."

"That means killing you." An Jing nodded slightly: "And then let you take all the blame."

Huo Qing did not reply. He actually realized that it was very strange that a clerical worker like him was suddenly thrown to the front line. It was even questionable who had injured him.

But it doesn't matter, because Da Qiang and his group definitely didn't come here to look for Huo Qing, who theoretically had died a long time ago. They should have come to search Huo Qing's house and "discover" some account books.

"The Day Tiger Gang can no longer stay here."

At this moment, Huo Qing felt hopeless: "Even if I defeat Uncle Big Spear, I did help them do a lot of dirty work in the past, the boss will definitely kill me."

This is indeed a trouble.

In any case, Huo Qing helped Da Qiang and others to embezzle gang assets. Although everyone does this, even the boss of the Day Tiger Gang is probably using the gang to embezzle the aid of the joint companies. In a sense, what he did is similar to Huo Qing, Da Qiang and others.

But this kind of thing can't be said out loud. Once it's taken too far, it will be stabbed and stabbed, and even put into a pig cage. Especially since Daqiang and others happened to encounter a gang war this time, they told Gao Li that it was during the war that he enriched himself and harmed the interests of the gang and the group, and he would be hung on the pillar of shame and bled.

The worst thing about Huo Qing is that even if he got rid of Daqiang, it would be useless. At most, he would take less blame and live longer than Daqiang.

Even more, the boss of the Day Tiger Gang did not get rid of Da Qiang and others at the first time, probably because he wanted to use this group of people to take the blame again - Huo Qing and Da Qiang are still arguing about the account of a few thousand good deeds, who knows if the boss of the Day Tiger Gang intends to let them take the account of a hundred thousand good deeds?

They were mortal from the beginning.

"If you can't stay, then don't stay."

An Jing was puzzled by this: "Just pick up the bucket and run away, what's there to worry about?"

"Brother An, you are from the wilderness, you don't understand."

Huo Qing looked even more worried: "The group behind the Day Tiger Gang is all over the 17 towns, and even Xuan Ye City has their people... Where can we run to? The only way is to go into the wilderness."

"But entering the wilderness is almost like abandoning civilized society. There are indeed people who can change their appearance and start a new life, but for someone like me, how many days can I survive in the wilderness?"

Huo Qing's current situation is entirely due to his character.

The reason why he helped Da Qiang and others do such illegal and gang-betraying things was purely out of gratitude.

Even though Daqiang was so angry that he wanted to kill him just now, in fact, if it weren't for Daqiang's care, Huo Qing would have starved to death on the street long ago.

To repay this, Huo Qing is even willing to do things that go against his morals and endanger his life.

Before, Huo Qing actually thought that if things really got out of hand, he would just return the life to Da Qiang. But who knew that after being rescued by An Jing, before he could even hesitate, Da Qiang was knocked down and it was not his turn to do anything.

This kind of character is also the reason why Huo Qing is willing to pass on the family-inherited raising method to An Jing to repay his kindness.

——This person is probably too lacking in love, An Jing thought.

If I were just a little bit nicer to him, he would trust me wholeheartedly.

"Don't you have other uncles?"

Thinking of this, An Jing couldn't bear to watch it anymore and reminded: "The situation is urgent now, let's go out and hide for two days first - hurry up, let's bring the big guns, the city guards are coming!"

At this time, he had already heard the sound of uniform footsteps not far away. With this level of training, it was obvious that the patrolling city guards had arrived.

"Yes!"

Hearing the noise, even Huo Qing was awakened. He hurriedly searched the belongings of Daqiang and others with An Jing, and then quickly fled the scene with An Jing, who was carrying Daqiang's body.

"I do have a few uncles...who are trustworthy!" As he ran away, he panted and said to An Jing: "One of them is the one I wanted to recommend to you, Brother An, the owner of the recycling hut!"

"But he is not in the town, but in the suburbs of Xuanye City..."

“Garbage dump!”

In response, An Jing didn't waste any words: "Leave the town first, then show the way!"

An Jing and Huo Qing quickly fled the scene.

A few dozen seconds later, a neat squadron of city guards also arrived in front of Master Liu's breakfast shop.
