Chronicle of the 70s-Chapter 417 - 388: Xu Wu Side Story 3 (Part 3)

We ten started studying, naturally, what we learned the most was how to kill and follow commands.

Two years later, our batch gradually disappeared, and I was assigned to a district, tasked with infiltrating the biggest Chinese gang locally, to gain the boss’s trust.

My reckless killing method stunned everyone, and especially made the boss appreciate and value me a lot; however, there were a few who didn’t like the sight of me, all of whom I quietly killed off.

A year later, I engineered an accident and killed the boss, finally taking his place and becoming the gang leader.

So, I started to follow the orders from above and began swallowing up all the surrounding small Chinese gangs, and also started dealing in arms.

During this period, I remembered what my sister had said before, that one needs to study to understand reason, although I felt that understanding reason was utterly useless, I wondered if my sister would be disappointed if I returned like this.

So, as I sold arms, I also hired a teacher to tutor me, I learned languages, as well as literature, economics, just like my sister said, I was a learning genius, I caught on to everything quickly.

Studying also brought me many other things, I gradually figured some things out, that I needed to find a way out of this situation, I couldn’t continue to develop the gang for these people anymore, if one day I was of no use, they would abandon me and nurture someone else.

So, I had to develop my own strength, to be able to go back and see my sister.

The following year, I used some of the financial knowledge I had learned and started proper trading, albeit secretly.

Continuously, I sent people back to look for my sister, but the news that returned was somewhat disappointing, she was no longer in the county, she had gone to university.

That’s good, the opportunity finally came, the upper echelons ordered me back to the country to expand the gang, but on the surface, it was to deal with economy, related to real estate.

First thing upon returning? Naturally, it was to look for my sister, while sending people to search, I also made a trip back to Huai Tree Village.

I initially intended to have my men kidnap Uncle’s entire family, but then I thought, if my sister finds out about this, she might become sad, so instead I just had people wait there and break my Uncle’s family’s limbs, when they heal, we’ll just break them again.

And that guy who wanted to marry his daughter to me in a ghost marriage, I just buried their whole family in his daughter’s grave, since he was worried about his daughter being lonely, it’s better for their whole family to keep her company.

When I returned, I first dealt with matters at hand, unexpectedly, I ran into my sister, she had already graduated and was working at a bank.

I don’t know why, but I suddenly became scared, thinking of the bloodshed I’ve involved in these years, and my sister’s goodness, I felt particularly inferior.

Is this what they call being timid when near home?

Indeed, my sister was as wonderful as I imagined over these years, of course, it’d be better if that stern man by her side wasn’t there.

My sister’s kids were also very cute, Ba Yi and Ba’er I liked both, the kids also loved me, giving me a sense of familial bond.

Aside from my sister’s family, other people were somewhat scared of me, but there was a little girl who wasn’t scared at all, her eyes sparkled when she saw me.

It turns out this little girl was Xiong Youxin, my sister called her naughty kid.

Three years later, this crazy girl actually confessed to me, I was stunned at that moment, I asked her, what do you like about me?

She actually said I look good, huh, if those who I killed knew this, they’d probably climb out from underground.

I rejected this girl, but this persistent girl just wouldn’t leave, she kept staying at my sister’s place, making me dare not return.

After hiding for over a year, I heard that this girl went to Hong Kong to study, so I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but just when I went to Hong Kong to inspect my work, she appeared again.

And that was extremely perilous since I was trying to leave the organization, and by coincidence, this annoying girl encountered it.

This annoying girl actually took a bullet for me.

I felt so complex inside, strange emotions stirring.

Actually, this annoying girl wasn’t that bothersome.

In ’83, I married the annoying girl, of course, I was forced to, because this annoying girl was pregnant with my child, she proudly told me, the child would take her surname, how could that be!

Spring ’84, my daughter was born, soft and tender, my sister was very happy, holding her and not letting go, continuously praising how good the child looked, I also felt joyful inside, a kind of unprecedented contentment brewing, I think this is life, filled with its bittersweet complexities.
