my old life

Chapter 1730 Restrained Sharpness
The atmosphere in the air instantly became tense. Facing Donnie's staring eyes, I was a little flustered at this moment. I felt the danger and even more the murderous intent!
The scar on the center of Donnie's brow was condensed together because of his frown, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like an eye, but I couldn't look away at this moment.

He and I looked at each other calmly, and I quietly squeezed my legs under the table, letting the pain help me keep calm!

Now I have to keep calm no matter what, because only calm can let me think of a way to deal with it!

"Third Brother, no matter what I just said is right or wrong, it's just my suggestion..."

"Why should I be angry? I just think you are dangerous!" Donnie looked at me with a smile, but I couldn't find a trace of relief in his smile!
"Third brother, don't be kidding me. How could I be in danger? I am unarmed and can only advise third brother, and the final decision is still in third brother's hands!"

I pretended to be relaxed, and tried not to arouse Downey's suspicions. To be honest, aren't the staff and counselors responsible for making plans?
"Hehe, of course I was joking with you! Your plan just now is very good, but have you thought about annexing the entire North District?"

Downey changed the subject and started asking, but I didn't dare to make any suggestions, let alone touch his bottom line easily!
"I haven't thought about it, but I know the truth that the long-term must be united and the long-term must be divided."

"Parting for a long time must unite? Unite for a long time must divide?" Tang Ni muttered to himself and fell into deep thought, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
Just now Downey asked what happened after the annexation of the North District, so now he has started to worry about the threat from the South District, which shows from the side that he has already planned to annex it completely!
But why did Downey suddenly seem to be a different person just now, the way he looked at me was full of murderous intent... Wait!Is it because my plan coincides with his idea?

"Hitomi, you are so smart, but you are talking about what will happen after you swallow the North District! Do you know why Jiao has so many families?"

Donnie asked a casual question, and casually threw me a cigar. I lit the cigarette without any politeness, but my heart was already full of vigilance!
"Third brother, I don't know about this... I just think about the interests of the family and try to maximize the benefits."

I respectfully replied, there is nothing wrong with this statement, I only care about making suggestions, but I don't care about how to implement it later?

"The South District and the North District have always lived in peace. If this balance of interests is broken, it will really be a disaster..."

Donnie muttered, and I listened silently. At this time, my best choice is to shut up!

For some reason, I suddenly thought of Kham. He is the brains around Downey, but he chooses to keep silent and stay out of the matter... Now I vaguely understand!
Downey's character and temper destined him to be a powerful figure, he would not allow others to be stronger than him, let alone allow anyone to guess what he really thought in his heart!

In an instant, I suddenly realized that Downey was jealous!He was afraid that someone would guess his thoughts, and that someone would jump out of his control!

In fact, I think Downey has long been planning Uncle Kun's territory, and we can see some clues from the supplies brought in!
That's too much food and guns and ammunition!The normal reserves don't need so much at all, he must be preparing for the family war!

On the night when the heads of the four major drug lord families were killed, Downey wanted to gather people to cut the mess quickly. He must have been prepared at that time!
It has only been a few days now, and he has prepared so many supplies again, which shows that he has changed his original annexation plan, and he has to face stronger opponents!
I want to think about these things but I will never say it!Now Donnie has jealousy and hostility towards me, I must not show any more edge!
"You go back first, I will consider your plan, and by the way, think about how to face the North District that breaks the balance of interests."

"Understood, third brother, call me anytime you need anything."

I left the bamboo building politely, and as soon as I went out, I felt drenched in cold sweat, and my whole body felt chilly when the wind blew!
Only at this moment did I dare to breathe a sigh of relief. Even in broad daylight, I felt chills all over my body. The way Donnie looked at me just now was too scary!

I'm just a pawn on someone else's turf now, I have no rights in my hands and I haven't been reused, let alone being envied by Downey!

I took out a cigarette and lit it. In fact, thinking about it, Donnie's worry was not unreasonable.

If I were a drug lord, then I would definitely not let anyone guess what I was really thinking, even if I gave up my interests, no one would know what I was thinking!
Now I'm in a dangerous situation, maybe Donnie will have me killed, maybe he'll make me a pioneer...or maybe he'll arrange another unexpected option for me.

Compared to Kangba's calmness and introversion, my sharpness is too obvious. This is not a way to survive beside drug lords!

After thinking about it, I went to look for Kangba at this moment, maybe I can learn something from him again, maybe he will help me!

My second uncle used to say that the person who helped you once might help you a second time, but the person you helped may not necessarily help you... Now I have no other choice except Kangba.

When I came to the door of Kangba Bamboo House and knocked on the door, I didn't push the door directly and entered, feeling a little nervous in my heart.

"Hitomi? Why are you here? Did the boss ask me to come over?" Kangba took the initiative to greet him, and I smiled and shook my head.

"No, I want to talk to Brother Kang myself, is it convenient?"

"It's convenient, come in."

Kangba didn't close the door after I entered the bamboo building. His small gesture instantly made me understand that we can only open the skylight to speak honestly.

Kangba didn't know the purpose of my coming to him, but he opened the door smartly so that I wouldn't ask him some too sensitive questions...

"Sit down, what's the matter?" Kangba greeted with a smile, the smile on his face made me feel very profound, he is much smarter than I imagined!
"It's nothing serious, I just want to come over and have a casual chat with Brother Kang... Brother Kang must be very valued for working beside Brother Third all these years!"

When I mentioned something cryptically, Kham immediately laughed when he heard it. He deliberately looked at the open bamboo door and reminded me secretly that I should not mention anything about Downey.

I understand Kangba's reminder, I know he is a smart man, he should be able to understand my riddles!
"Brother Kang, have you ever heard that existence is reasonable? If you can survive, you must have a reason to survive!"

I said something nonchalantly, existence means that he is by Downey's side, and survival means that he can live by the drug lord's side for so many years.

"Of course I have heard that everyone's way of life is different, the most important thing is to be interesting." Kangba replied very directly, he heard the meaning of my words!
"Is it as simple as knowing the fun?"

"Others have other people's ideas, and it will be a matter of course if it is in line with the interests and goals. In fact, we are all the same!"

Kangba's words were very cryptic. The other person he was talking about was Downey. Both of us are outsiders in the drug lord family!

At this moment, I felt quite moved. What Kangba said was right. He would naturally go back to do things that were in the interest of the Downey family, but once outsiders interjected, the meaning changed!

As the saying goes, a wise man can stop talking. I have already understood the way of survival of Kangba, it’s just as simple as a layer of window paper!
"Thank you, Brother Kang!"

"Why do you say thank you for casually chatting? My own people don't need to be so out of touch... Has the mark on your back grown?"

When Kangba changed the topic and mentioned cutting flesh and tattooing, I felt a little depressed because it made me feel like I was marked as an animal!

"I don't know if it's good or not, I haven't seen it myself..."

"Let me take a look for you!" Without any explanation, Kangba came over, obviously he was more attentive than me.

I unbuttoned my shirt to reveal one shoulder. This is a position that people can't see. In fact, I never thought of seeing the beauty and ugliness of this mark.

"That's right, Grandma's craftsmanship hasn't changed at all! It looks exactly like the family mark on my body!"

Kangba mentioned grandma, and I thought of that strange little old lady who helped me once anyway.

"Grandma is a good person, I never had a chance to say thank you..."

"Were you in a coma at that time? Didn't you have any consciousness at all?" Kangba changed the subject, and I suddenly realized that there was something in his words!
"no, what happened?"

"It's nothing, if you don't feel it, you can suffer less."

As soon as I heard this, I immediately realized that something was wrong, as if he hadn't been anesthetized, but I think he seemed to be reminding something deliberately!
