Starting from Hong Kong in 1988!

"I'll take one too."

The driver, gun in hand and with a tense expression, walked to the pile of money, slowly squatted down, gripped the cash box with one hand, and slowly backed away.

Several people followed suit and picked up the money box, leading to another standoff.

"What should we do with the two extra ones?" the driver asked.

"You need to use both hands to carry them. I don't trust you guys, I don't dare to carry them." The spider shrugged nonchalantly.

"Nobody dares to take it."

Xu Guangkun concluded, then said to Spider, "How about this, we'll split it in pairs. Spider, you and the driver each get three, and Wang Hu and I each get three. You get the bigger share, and leave the driver's wife alone. As for Wang Hu and me, we'll split it later. Let's not waste any more time here; we can't afford to waste any more. We'll continue to cooperate next time."

"That's a good idea, let's do it this way." Spider and Xu Guangkun exchanged a glance, nodded almost imperceptibly, dragged the money to the driver's side, raised their heads, and said, "Go get it."

Xu Guangkun nodded to Wang Hu, then raised his gun and aimed it at Spider, who was also raising his gun.

Dragging it out wasn't a solution, and giving up the two boxes of money was obviously unrealistic. After a moment of silence, the driver and Wang Hu agreed and slowly walked towards the middle.

just.

It's hard not to feel goosebumps and your throat bob.

"Brother, don't let it go wrong," the driver said to Xu Guangkun.

"Spider, don't be nervous." Wang Hu, his hands trembling slightly, faced the spider.

The two slowly backed away, soon reaching their own people, where they would be able to put down the money box.

suddenly.

"spider!"

A loud shout came from behind him, and Wang Hu immediately froze.

It felt like a cold breeze brushing against my collar.

He trembled uncontrollably, gripped the gun tightly, and was about to turn around.

"boom!"

A flash of fire.

Wang Hu's enormous head vanished without a trace, and his body collapsed to the ground, where it was drenched by the blood that had been gushing into the air.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The gun fired, and the driver also fell to the ground. In his unfocused pupils, he saw Xu Guangkun's figure shooting at Wang Hu.

Xu Guangkun did not pull the bolt, but instead discarded the Remington and pulled out the Big Black Star rifle from his back.

"You're too slow!"

The spider grinned maliciously, moved the gun barrel, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Xu Guangkun was thrown away by the bullet's immense kinetic energy.

"I won."

The spider laughed twice, its eyes just glancing at the money box on the ground.

A faint voice echoed.

"You should have been the one to lead the attack."

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xu Guangkun lying on the ground with a grim expression, but he had already pointed his gun at him.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

......

"Have you found any trace of them? Be careful, these guys are ruthless. If you see them, shoot them dead on sight!"

"Sir, something's not right. You'd better come and see for yourself."

Jiang Sir frowned, put down the walkie-talkie, and got into the police car.

He soon arrived at his destination.

Blood and spent cartridge cases were scattered all over the ground, along with three corpses covered with white sheets.

Jiang Sir lifted the white sheets one by one, his gaze lingering on the headless corpses for a long time.

"This is not Xu Guangkun."

He muttered to himself, although he hadn't seen the fourth robber's face, he was certain that it must be Xu Guangkun!

......

"Have you encountered any problems?"

"fine."

"Did it go smoothly?"

"We almost capsized in the gutter."

Jiang Lanxin put down the apple she was eating and kicked Xu Guangkun, who was slumped on the sofa, with her fair foot: "What do you mean?"

Xu Guangkun pushed her feet away with some disgust. "That AK was practically pointed at my forehead. Damn, I almost thought I wasn't coming back. After tomorrow, I'm never taking that risk again."

"An AK to your head..."

Jiang Lanxin paused, her tone somewhat incredulous, "You actually won?"

"I have to thank your bulletproof vest." Xu Guangkun pointed to the bullet holes in his body. "Without this thing, I definitely wouldn't be back today."

Then he added, "The money is all downstairs. You can handle it. You get half, the remaining half goes to the mother and daughter, and you can exchange the rest for gold."

"You'll take 25%?"

Jiang Lanxin was somewhat surprised.

"That's about right. Half should be enough for that mother and daughter to live on," Xu Guangkun replied absentmindedly.

To be honest, he's still a little scared.

Not only was Wang Hu holding his head, but several of Spider's bullets also hit his lower abdomen.

If it goes any lower...

Living is worse than dying!

"What I mean is, didn't they take too much? You risked your life for so little." Jiang Lanxin chuckled and kicked him again.

"If you think I'm getting the short end of the stick, why don't you just give me your share?" Xu Guangkun rolled his eyes at him.

Jiang Lanxin's expression turned serious, and she waved her hand, "No!"

"Tsk."

Jiang Lanxin said with a smile, "You've already embarked on a path of no return. Sometimes being a little selfish isn't so bad. Once you've experienced more, you'll realize that feelings and conscience are just like that. Many people are just passersby in your life; once you turn around, you'll never see them again."

She stared at Xu Guangkun: "Only the benefits that are in hand are permanent."

Xu Guangkun grinned: "Have you ever thought that you shouldn't have said that to me? If I didn't listen, that's fine, but if I did..."

He joked, "Should I do what I promised you, or not?"

"That's true. If you were like me, I wouldn't help you either." Jiang Lanxin shook her head and added, "My affairs aren't so easily dismissed."

After saying that, he didn't say anything more and picked up the apple again, crunching away at it.

The two remained silent for a while.

Xu Guangkun then said, "Help me see that mother and daughter off. After that, let's have dinner together tonight. I have something I want to ask you."

"Why didn't you deliver it yourself?"

"I don't know what to say if I send it, and I guess they don't really want to see me either. It's like we both hate each other, they just find me annoying."

"That's true, after all, you killed someone else's father."

Xu Guangkun was taken aback.

"You know that?"

Jiang Lanxin's tone remained unchanged, "Of course, otherwise how could we dare to establish rules in the walled city, saying that even the dead will be investigated to the end?"

"Then why aren't you investigating me?"

"Rules are mountains for some people, and paper for others." She stood up, put on her flip-flops, and said, "But I am the one who makes the rules."

"That's domineering enough, I like it."

Xu Guangkun gave her a thumbs up.

"Stop joking, I'll go do my errand for you first."

.....

Time flew by and evening arrived. Xu Guangkun returned to his residence, took a shower, changed his clothes, and was about to leave when he saw the letter lying on the table.

Xu Guangkun picked it up, glanced at the cover, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up a lighter instead of opening it.

"Forget it, it's upsetting to see you scold me, but it's even more upsetting to see you thank me."

The flames slowly spread across the letter, turning it to ashes. It seemed that his suppressed emotions from this period of time also turned to ashes along with it.

"Good."

Xu Guangkun swept the remaining black ash into the trash can, then got up and walked outside.
