When Chen Dong returned to the funeral home in the western suburbs, it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening. Uncle Sheng followed Chen Dong to the outside of the mourning hall. For the first time, he took off the gentleman's hat on his head.

Uncle Sheng is a member of the Mozi Society, so he also has his own code name, and this code name is called Hat.

But there are only a handful of people who have actually seen Uncle Sheng take off his hat. Of course, the old guy who is lying in the mourning hall is an exception.

Tonight's funeral home in the western suburbs is full of noise and brightly lit.

After Chen Dong left, Xiaolang obeyed his instructions and called all the brothers who had left in Uncle Lin's house to the town. The whole mourning hall was covered with dark people, and roughly looking at least hundreds of people!

Let me tell you a joke. If the big guys from underground forces want to go to sweep Uncle Lin’s place today, they will definitely be sure to sweep them and will not be subject to any resistance at all.

Of course, if they really dare to do this, I am afraid that by dawn the next day, the entire Z city will be trapped in a terrible war.

When entering the venue, Chen Dong finally saw many brothers from the boxing ring, but at this time, everyone had no intention of reminiscing about the past, nor was there the mood to celebrate Dong Ge's return. Everyone's face was filled with grief.

Chen Dong walked to each brother, gave them a hug in silence, comforted each other a few words, and then followed Uncle Sheng into the mourning hall.

In addition to these hard-working men, there were also many women with dust on their faces. The laughter that sounded from time to time was incompatible with the solemnity of the mourning hall, but no one in the venue rebuked them.

Because as Chen Dong said, everyone knows that Uncle Lin likes women and only hopes that he will not be too lonely when he walks in the underworld.

Uncle Sheng looked at the scene in the mourning hall and seemed to guess Chen Dong’s thoughts. He smiled faintly: “You know the old guy’s hobby.”

Chen Dong did not respond, and walked forward first, lit three pillars of fragrance, and handed it to Uncle Sheng's hand. A complicated emotion flashed in Uncle Sheng's eyes, and then he bowed slightly.

"Old thing, just look at it in the sky, I won't let you down!" I sighed silently in my heart, and Uncle Sheng looked up at the familiar smile in front of him, and the corners of his eyes were already wet at some point.

After the worship, Uncle Sheng did not stay for too long. Before leaving, he gave Chen Dong a few more instructions and left the funeral home.

As the night gradually became deeper, the brothers who were watching each other set up tables outside the mourning hall and started playing mahjong. Speaking of which, this is also the custom of z-city watch, perhaps to make the anger here more vigorous and lively, so that the deceased people will not feel scared.

Chen Dong sat alone in the mourning hall, a little dazed. For some reason, the sadness that had been suppressed for a whole day suddenly surged, making him feel a little confused.

During the day, Chen Dong was still fighting wits and courage with Tian Yu in City C. He was wet in a rain and had a gun battle. In the end, he was chased by several bamboo leaves and almost died. However, after a call, Chen Dong returned to City Z.

After returning, Chen Dong continued to kill, establish his authority, negotiate, and even was shocked again and again in the Fenglin Club. Everything was Chen Dong's hope to keep himself busy so that he had no time to think and feel. If possible, he even hoped that he could keep being so busy that he could forget someone's death.

Boss, how could you die like this?

A strong sense of fatigue rushed towards Chen Dong's brain like a tide, but Chen Dong did not dare to close his eyes because he was afraid that once he closed his eyes, he would see the old man appear in front of him, laughing and calling him a bad boy, and then when he opened his eyes, he could only find that this was a dream.

Remember when I first met my boss?

Ah, by the way, when I was 14 years old, the sky was blue and the wind was light, but I was running desperately on the street.

On that day, Chen Dong, who was only 14 years old, suffered the biggest pain in his life. Because of a fire, he lost two of the most important relatives in his life. Then, he fled all the way under the pursuit of the terrifying old beggar.

At this moment, he met his future bosses, Uncle Lin and Lin Xiaoshan.

Chen Dong still clearly remembers that when Uncle Lin saw him for the first time, he showed his love in his eyes. For some reason, in this moment, Chen Dong, who was only 14 years old, developed inexplicable trust in this middle-aged uncle.

"Kid, would you please follow me?"

This is the first thing Uncle Lin said to Chen Dong. He did not ask Chen Dong's name or where Chen Dong's parents were. Instead, he was like a human trafficker and asked Chen Dong to follow him!

Perhaps it was the inexplicable sense of trust in his heart, or perhaps it was the fear of being chased by the old beggar. In short, Chen Dong nodded incrediblely, and then let the man he had met for the first time hold his hand and disappear at the end of the street.

Many years later, Chen Dong was still secretly palpitations about his original choice. If Uncle Lin was really a demon who made a living by trafficking children, perhaps Chen Dong had been sold to remote mountainous areas again, and had even died and lost his important body organs.

Chen Dong asked Uncle Lin more than once why he brought him to City Z and into the boxing ring, but every moment, Uncle Lin always kept silent, even after getting drunk.

After growing up, Chen Dong once went back to H Province once, and then he realized that he had suffered the first trafficking when he was 2 years old, and his adoptive parents in H Province had indeed died in the sudden fire.

It’s just that it’s too long, and Chen Dong still doesn’t know why his father left him alone in the toy store and went home alone, and was the fire really just an accident?

Chen Dong has asked himself many times, if Uncle Lin did not appear, what would his end be?

Chen Dong, who had just arrived in City Z, obviously did not expect that the middle-aged uncle he trusted would become so terrifying and cold-blooded at some point.

In order to train Chen Dong to become a qualified black fist fighter, Uncle Lin was almost doing everything he could. He once locked Chen Dong with a group of teenage gangsters and let them bite each other like wild animals. Only the person who won the final victory had food to eat.

Chen Dong remembered that in the end he used a sharpened wooden strip to stab the gangster leader hard into the stomach. Seeing the other party lying in a pool of blood, Uncle Lin finally took him away from the room full of death.

Afterwards, Chen Dong finally ushered in a systematic and formal boxing training. Such training was boring and hard, but for Chen Dong, it was as wonderful as heaven.

At least there is no more blood and pain, isn't it?

From then on, Chen Dong finally saw the amiable Uncle Lin again. But for some reason, when he saw Uncle Lin again, Chen Dong found that this middle-aged man seemed to have turned into an old man with wrinkles all night long.

Chen Dong never asked why, because he only knew that this was his boss and was very nice to him, that was enough.

Especially when Chen Dong won the first game in the boxing ring and Uncle Lin was happily shouting outside the court, the only grudge against Uncle Lin in his heart completely melted away.

Chen Dong understood that it was Uncle Lin’s experience that brought him into the dark room that made him survive in the boxing ring today.

How could you become the king of darkness without a cruel heart?

How can you get rebirth like the fire without blood and pain?

Chen Dong has always known that among the many brothers in the boxing ring, Uncle Lin’s favorite is himself. It is no exaggeration to say that after Chen Dong was 14 years old, Uncle Lin was like his father!

Chen Dong didn't know where this doting came from, but he cherished Uncle Lin's love for him very much, just like he once gave the old man without hesitation five years ago.

It was Uncle Lin who raised him, it was Uncle Lin who taught him all his skills, it was Uncle Lin who found the whereabouts of his biological parents for him, it was Uncle Lin who gave him the opportunity to go to the Red Star Special Training Camp, and it was Uncle Lin who created Chen Dong today!

Chen Dong looked at the black and white photo of Uncle Lin in front of him with a little free look. He felt like he was stabbed hard by millions of needles. The so-called thousands of arrows pierced the heart, maybe this is how it feels.

It was you who gave me a new life, and it was you who brought me to this point today. However, I have not had time to repay this kindness and have not sold this life to you. How could you die like this?

I haven't found you the most beautiful girl in Z City, how could you die like this?

I haven't broken the province's 39 black boxing winning streak, how could you just die?

I haven't bought you the most expensive whiskey in the world, how could you just die?

I haven't made a big splash in City C yet to pick you up and enjoy your happiness. How could you die like this?

I have not been married and had children, have not been successful, and have not made you proud. How could you die like this?

How can you die? How can you bear to die?

Chen Dong still remembers the excitement of Uncle Lin when he won the first time, the teasing eyes of Uncle Lin when he first found a woman, and the eyes of Uncle Lin rolled his eyes when he first fought with someone.

When Chen Dong left the boxing ring, the pistol that Uncle Lin gave him was still in his arms. When Chen Dong talked to Uncle Lin for the last time at C-Uncle, the words "Is it a big deal" that Uncle Lin asked him were still echoing in his ears, but Uncle Lin was already dead.

Two lines of clear tears slowly slid down Chen Dong's cheeks. Chen Dong buried his head between his arms, and finally stopped suppressing the grief in his heart. He endured the pain like thousands of arrows piercing his heart and cried in silence.
