When the building is about to collapse, when the storm is swaying.
Except for Master Zhao and Third Uncle, everyone was still immersed in ignorance and did not realize the slightest problem.
This is the information gap.
When the third uncle followed Mr. Zhao into the study, he only saw his uncle standing in front of the window in despair. At this time, the uncle was like a dying old man, who might die at any time.
Although the third uncle felt distressed, he said helplessly: "Uncle, why are you suddenly retiring?"
"You have to retreat when it's time to retreat. If you don't retreat, you will be desperate." Mr. Zhao said without looking back.
The third uncle said uneasily: "Uncle, I'm afraid my ability is not up to this big task. Besides, I have made a lot of mistakes during this period, which has caused irreparable losses to the circle. Those people below have some opinions about me. I think
You'd better let someone else take over, for example, Uncle Tang, I think it's more suitable, he is the veteran who came out with you."
The more the third uncle said this, the more Mr. Zhao felt that something was wrong. Thinking of all the things that had happened before, Mr. Zhao seemed to be sure in his heart.
He ignored Uncle San's words and just said lightly: "San, you know I met Su Qin today. He has told me everything that needs to be said. Everyone thinks that I am at the peak of my powers now, but you and I are both
It’s clear that Su Qin is enough to play us to death.”
The third uncle was silent and did not respond.
Mr. Zhao continued: "San, I am your uncle. I have been very kind to you over the years. Without me, you wouldn't be where you are now. I can forgive you for any mistakes you make. So I will ask you one last question. You
If you answer truthfully, I will tell you why you suddenly retired, and I will also tell you what I talked about with Su Qin today."
The third uncle began to get nervous. He knew exactly what his uncle wanted to ask, and the sweat on his forehead couldn't stop flowing down.
He said tremblingly: "Uncle, just ask."
"San, have you betrayed your uncle a long time ago?" Mr. Zhao suddenly turned around and stared at his third uncle and asked.
The third uncle was shocked. He didn't know what his uncle wanted to do. Was everything a conspiracy, just to expose himself as an undercover agent?
The third uncle cautiously replied: "Uncle, how could I betray you? Don't listen to the slanders of those villains. I am your nephew."
Master Zhao was obviously a little disappointed after hearing this answer. He didn't ask Su Qin today because he was almost sure that the third child had betrayed him, so he wanted the third child to answer in person.
But at this time, the third child still dare not admit it. Maybe this is the world, and brothers and sons may turn against each other, let alone their uncles and nephews?
In the face of interests and lives, all relationships are as fragile as paper. It is understandable that people will not be punished for their own sake.
Mr. Zhao did not continue to press, and continued to show his cards: "Three, let me tell you what I talked about with Su Qin today? I promised to hand over all my power to Su Qin, just in exchange for Su Qin sparing my life, but Su Qin refused, I
He wants everything, including my old life."
The third uncle didn't seem surprised after hearing this, because Su Qin had said at the beginning that Mr. Zhao would definitely die, and he had to cooperate with him if he wanted to live.
"He gave me one night to think about it. If I refused, I would have betrayed all my relatives tomorrow. If he hadn't done anything, I might have been forced to death by those big guys, and my whole family would not be safe by then. If I had the sense to end it myself,
Then he can bypass my whole family. What do you think I should choose?" Mr. Zhao laughed at himself.
The third uncle didn't know whether what Mr. Zhao said was true or false.
"So, I choose to die. I don't know if you know Su Qin's background clearly. If you do, you will know that I have no choice. Now can you tell the truth to your uncle who is about to die?" Mr. Zhao finally said something.
He begged, even he didn't know why he wanted to ask this result when he already knew the result, just to make it clearer.
After hearing these words, the third uncle knew that his uncle was not lying to him.
He suddenly knelt on the ground in tears and shouted: "Uncle, I'm sorry, the third child has betrayed your trust. It's all my fault. Uncle, please forgive the third child. The third child can't help himself. The third child doesn't want to die.
ah."
Sure enough.
Hearing this expected answer, Mr. Zhao felt even more disappointed. Perhaps he wanted to hear that the third child had not betrayed him.
Mr. Zhao did not continue to ask questions because those processes were no longer important.
"Okay, get up. At least you still treat me as your uncle and don't continue to cheat." Mr. Zhao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The third uncle did not get up. His guilt prevented him from facing his uncle, not to mention that his uncle was so bitter at this time.
At this time, Mr. Zhao began to make arrangements for the funeral and said: "Actually, I have already guessed that you betrayed me. I gave the circle to you to make you more valuable to Su Qin in the future. How you will cooperate with Su Qin then is up to you.
The matter has nothing to do with me, but I advise you never to betray Su Qin. Su Qin’s background is far from as simple as you think, otherwise I wouldn’t even dare to have the idea of ​​resistance."
The third uncle really didn't know the details of Su Qin. Hearing what his uncle said was so terrifying, he was a little curious and asked: "Uncle, what is Su Qin's background?"
After hearing this, Mr. Zhao knew that the third child didn't know.
He shook his head and said: "Since he hasn't told you, then don't ask. This may be a good thing for you. If he wants you to know, he will tell you sooner or later."
The third uncle was a smart man and felt that what he said was quite right, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Mr. Zhao took a deep breath, slowly helped his third uncle up and said, "When I die, if you still have a position with Su Qin, I hope you will keep more of my relatives and friends in the future. Just treat it as my uncle's last request to you."
Already."
The third uncle blamed himself: "Uncle, please don't do this."
"I've said what needs to be said. You can go back and prepare now. Tomorrow will definitely be a turbulent day after I die. Some people want to die, so let them go." After talking about these words, Mr. Zhao felt extremely relieved.
Waved and said.
The third uncle still wants to stay with his uncle and talk to him. Perhaps the biggest stain in his life is his betrayal of his uncle.
Mr. Zhao had lost his temper and signaled him with his eyes to leave and leave him alone for a while.
When the third uncle came out, he was in a heavier mood than Master Zhao. Brother Xiong, Liang, and others were all waiting for him outside, and they immediately congratulated him when they saw him coming out.
The third uncle didn't look happy at all. He said extremely irritably: "Let's go have a drink."
Everyone thought that the third uncle was celebrating and left Weishui Mingju happily.
But the third uncle just wanted to drink to relieve his sorrow. He was very drunk that night.
Mr. Zhao, who was in the study of Weishui Mingju, had smoked one cigarette after another after quitting smoking for many years. The ashtray was full, as if he wanted to take back all the cigarettes he had quit smoking all these years ago.
He carefully recalled his short but brilliant life.
He has supported many people, offended many people, and owed many people. Of course, he has also killed many people.
Not many good things are done, not many bad things are done, and bad things abound.
People like him will definitely go to hell after death.
But he never regretted it. He was born humble and died gloriously. He just didn't have mediocrity in his life.
When the sky was slightly bright, everyone suddenly received the news.
Mr. Zhao, who had dominated Qinzhou for many years and was even more prosperous now, suddenly died of an illness at home. In an instant, the whole Qinzhou was thrown into chaos.
