Chapter 209 (1/2)

Hou Biao jumped into the river and swam towards Jiang Deguan. But when he swam to the middle of the river, Jiang De Guan disappeared.

He plunged into the water, touched the bottom of the river for a long time, floated up to take a breath, and then went down to touch it. In this way, he rose and fell many times. He touched the bottom of the river and couldn't find Jiang Deguan.

He went ashore dejectedly, sat wet on the stone of the bank and said nothing.

Aoki came over and said, ”let's go back to Wuzhong.”

”What are you going to do? Be your bodyguard?” Hou Biao laughed mockingly. What else can he do in his life besides being a bodyguard for the rich master?

Aoki said, ”I'm not a rich master.”

Hou Biao said, ”what are you going to do?”

Aoki said, ”go back and change a way to live.”

Hou Biao said, ”let me think.”

Aoki said, ”well, come to me whenever you want.”

Aoki left. Hou Biao thought for a long time by the river. Until dawn, he sighed at the calm river, stood up helplessly and said, ”Lord Jiang, I tried my best.”

Hou Biao stepped onto the stone bridge and pushed down the tricycle. The car stood in the way of the bridge. He wanted to push it into the nearby mulberry field.

Just as he pushed the tricycle out of the car, he suddenly heard a gunshot.

The gunshot seemed to come from far away, but it wanted to come from near. It echoed in his ears.

He was startled by the gunshot, suddenly thought of something, and then there was a whirl of heaven and earth.

Hou Biao stabilized his figure and looked around. He saw that there were many shadows in the dark, all cars stacked together, like crawling with dead steel bodies.

Isn't this the parking lot where he hid his car for three wheels?

Hou Biao looked at the three wheels pushed in his hand and suddenly realized that everything he had just experienced was just a dream. He had been hypnotized since he looked for the three wheels in the parking lot. At the moment, he had just found three wheels, and Jiang Deguan should still be in the van when he came.

There was silence in the parking lot after the gunfire echoed.

Hou Biao scolded ”shit!” he pushed down the three wheels and ran towards the van.

Jiang Deguan was lying in the van with a gun in his hand, and the bullet penetrated his temple. From the scene, he committed suicide with a pistol.

Hou Biao looked around blankly and saw Qingmu standing behind him, his hand in his trouser pocket, and his body leaning lazily on a scrapped old car.

”Come back to Wuzhong with me,” Aoki said.

Hou Biao said, ”I could have saved him. You hypnotized me.”

Aoki said, ”you just walked a little longer to save him. As a result, you have seen it in your dream. Instead of letting him float in the river and die in front of his hometown parents, you might as well die here. Why are you in vain?”

Hou Biao slumped to the ground.

He raised his gun and aimed it at his temple.

Aoki said, ”you said yourself that you have tried your best. You don't owe him anymore. Why?”

Hou Biao said, ”I have no love in life. What am I doing alive? Go back to be a mercenary or continue to be a bodyguard for the old men?”

Aoki said, ”maybe there are some more meaningful things to do, such as...”
