Twenty Seven Years Chapter 246

  Chapter 246 Time gives the answer

   "Walking with you? Where are you going?" Boss Xin and Willow were increasingly confused about what Verak, who was doing things so uncertain and illogical, was going to do. First he repayed his favor with an innocent face, then he threatened to negotiate, and now he smiled and wanted to take them away, he seemed like a lunatic.

   "Go to a better place to talk." Verak was not overjoyed by Boss Xin's rhetoric. In order to avoid any conspiracy hidden in it, he chose to take the two of them out of the tavern first, and meet Keating within the scope of his control. At that time, everyone will be happy when the misunderstanding is resolved, and they will be able to solve problems easily.

   Boss Xin had a completely different view on his invitation from Verak from different angles, so he rejected Verak cautiously: "There is no better place than here."

   "There is someone you want to meet there." Unable to persuade the two, Veraker could only move out of Keating.

   "Keating?" Boss Xin instantly realized who Verak was talking about.

"Um."

  Boss Xin's doubts deepened: "He's not... you belong to him? What's going on? When did he get out of Daymans Prison?"

   "You'll see him later, so go ask him yourself." Verak didn't reveal too much information.

   "But why should I believe you?" Boss Xin still didn't move.

  Villac thought for a while, and told him what Keating told him, about their experience with Wilson more than twenty years ago.

  Willow was too shocked to speak, he opened his mouth and looked at Boss Xin, waiting for him to make up his mind.

"It seems that the complexity of the matter is beyond my imagination." After hearing this, Boss Xin's inner defense was shaken, and finally he decided to take the risk of going out with Verak to reveal the secrets of the past two years, "I can go out with you. "

   "Willow, too." Verak hoped that Willow would follow.

  Boss Xin was not sure if there was any danger outside, so he was unwilling to take Willow with him: "He stayed in the tavern. If everything was really a misunderstanding, it's not too late to come out."

   "Okay." Knowing that he couldn't persuade the two of them with a few words, Verak respected their insistence and decided to take only Boss Xin to see Keating.

   "I'll go, you stay." Willow also knew that this trip was not absolutely safe.

   Facing Willow's volunteering, Boss Xin was very pleased: "Remember what I told you? Sooner or later, you will be the new leader of the Blood Knife Gang, leading the great Dunmans to defend what belongs to you."

   Hearing that the two seemed to be parting for life and death, Verak understood, but still found it a little funny: "Trust me, as long as what you just told me is true, there will be no danger."

   "Let's go." Boss Xin patted Willow on the shoulder and left the room.

  Verak glanced at Willow, and walked through the tavern with Boss Xin under the gaze of everyone, and arrived at the door.

   "Where are you going?" Boss Xin, who was limping while walking, exhaled and asked.

   "Let's go to the hotel across the way." Verac scanned the street and found a car parked not far from Quinn's Tavern.

   Not surprisingly, there were Keating and others sitting there.

   After ensuring that Keating could see himself and Boss Xin, Verac took Boss Xin in and booked the room next to Keating.

   "What does this mean?" Boss Xin asked as he entered the room.

   "You sit first." Verak opened the door and sat next to Boss Xin, "They will be there soon."

   "Can you tell me about Keating now?" Boss Xin was a little impatient.

Before Keating and the others came back, Verak briefly explained his relationship with Keating: "Let me introduce myself again. I am Moster Verak, and I used to be inmates with Mr. Keating .He taught me a lot of things, such as Dunman language and knowledge of various aspects. We successfully escaped from Daymans Prison together last November."

"Last November?" Boss Xin questioned, "I have been sending people to pay attention to the news from Daimans Prison. Why haven't I heard of a prison escape? And that is Daimans Prison, no one has ever Successfully escaped."

"This is a long story. If you are interested, I will tell you slowly. In short, we successfully escaped with more than 2,000 prisoners in the prison. At that time, the Bresi government was holding the World Expo. The image they worked so hard to build collapsed, and they tried their best to cover it up."

   "This..." The fact of escaping from Daimans Prison is so crazy that Boss Xin can hardly accept it.

   Just when he was about to ask something, Keating, who was waiting in the car to meet Veraker to evacuate, rushed back to the hotel with Sarah and Eve, and came to the open door: "Xin."

  Hearing someone calling him, Boss Xin turned his head and looked at the door. After looking at the door for a few seconds, he confirmed that the person standing there was Keating: "You are really alive."

   "Yeah." Keating walked into the room, glanced at Verak, and faced Boss Xin who couldn't help getting up.

He said before that it is best not to let Boss Xin know that he is still alive, but after he saw Verak bring Boss Xin into the hotel, he knew that things would definitely develop in another direction that they hadn't expected, and he had to Show up.

   "Is what he said true? You escaped from Daymans Prison?" Boss Xin confirmed.

"Yes, without Veraker, I'm afraid I would never be able to leave the prison for half a step in my life." Keating didn't have a good impression of Boss Xin. Although he was relieved now, some grudges still affected him, "Veraker, this What's the situation?"

   "You and Boss Xin misunderstood." Verac first winked at Sarah and Eve, signaling them to close the door. Then let the two sit down, and act as an intermediary to help them resolve the misunderstanding, "As we guessed, Mr. Wilson did tell Boss Xin and Willow about the gold before he died. But Boss Xin didn't like As you said, keep the gold for yourself, but continue to fulfill the agreement for Mr. Wilson, keep the secret of the gold and wait for you to come."

   Keating was moved.

"The reason why Mr. Keating didn't ask you directly to get the gold before was because he was worried that you, who used to regard wealth as your life, would kill people because of gold, so he sent me to find out the details first." Verac explained to Keating, and then turned to Boss Xin said, "After we made full preparations, we decided to visit again today, first to discuss the purchase of Quinn's Tavern, and then to threaten you."

   "So it's like this..." Boss Xin understood what happened.

   "I thought that after so many years, what I experienced when I was young has been seen from a higher perspective. Now it doesn't seem to be the case. I still have prejudice against you." Keating admitted his shortcomings.

  He ignored the precious friendship between Boss Xin and Wilson, who was not weaker than him, and preconceived and maliciously speculated about Boss Xin's character, which caused all this to happen.

   "Normal." Boss Xin waved his hand indifferently, "Everyone knows that I will do anything for money. If you treat me like this, it will inevitably complicate things."

   "Fortunately, the process was a bit tortuous, and it didn't cause any loss." Verak said happily.

  It would be a pity if this misunderstanding was not resolved and conflicts broke out between the two sides, resulting in bloodshed.

   "When you came back two years ago, you didn't have time to meet. More than 20 years have passed in a flash." Boss Xin sighed.

  Twenty years ago, they were both young.

  Now, the faces of the two looking at each other are full of traces of time.

   "Wilson he..." Keating didn't know what to say.

  He and Wilson are close friends, and Boss Xin and Wilson are also brothers who were born and died together. More than 20 years ago, he believed that Boss Xin had ruined Wilson's dream of becoming a doctor and broke with him. Now times have changed, and many things have been answered by time.

"Before he died, he had a request. If he can wait until you come back, let me tell you that he is very grateful to you for helping him over the years. Thank you for secretly showing him the medical books at home when you were young, and thank you for helping him Thank you for giving him the Queen's Tavern when you left Dunman for Brescia, and relieved his embarrassment in life..."

   "He also helped me a lot." Keating was deeply moved when he heard Boss Xin mention what happened many years ago.

"In addition, he specifically advised me to clear up those misunderstandings that I didn't have time to explain when I saw you again." Xin Lao said, "I always thought it was unnecessary, because I don't know you well, and I don't care what you say. Look at me. But he told me that we are all his close friends and brothers, and he doesn't want us to have misunderstandings and hostility to each other because of him."

  The three people outside of the incident, Verac, Sarah, and Yves, all kept quiet tacitly, allowing the two middle-aged people who are over half a century old to walk out of the misunderstanding without distraction.

"At that time we were fighting in Montrego, and once I was ambushed by the Montrego people. My leg was hit by a stray bullet, and it was too late to retreat with the large army. Wilson, who was still a recruit, rushed into the battlefield desperately and carried me on his back. I got up, and based on his knowledge, I did emergency treatment for my wound... If it weren't for him, I would have been arrested and executed by the Montrego people who hated us, and this leg would have to be amputated. So I became best brothers with him, and I told him that when the war is over, I will help him become a doctor no matter what." Boss Xin told the reason why he and Wilson met.

  Valak heard that Boss Xin and Wilson had fought in Menglege, and immediately remembered the Dunman War he knew about the Dunman invasion of Menglege's million-square-kilometer land more than 20 years ago.

   It was because of this war that there was a great hatred between the Dunmans and the Montregos. This hatred has continued to this day, and when Lao Jin, the boss of the Flash Gold Gang, mentioned this matter, he would still be extremely indignant.

"After the war ended, we all returned to the old South. I started my old job and continued to be a butcher, while he studied medical knowledge hard and wanted to become a doctor." When Boss Xin talked about this, he sneered, He also let out a helpless "ah", "In my heart, he is the best. He is even better than the military doctors at that time, but in the old Nanyou, his ideals and dedication are no match for rich people. .”

  Keating didn't seem to know about it, and was frowning as he listened to Boss Xin's continuation.

"He said that you are different. Your path has been paved. You can do nothing and be pushed to become an admirable doctor. But he, because of his humble background, has no chance to be seen. "Boss Xin clenched his fists. He was angry at what happened to Wilson at the time. "You once said that if the old South Treaty was an unfair place, then go to an enlightened and free place. That's right, you can do that." , but he can't, his travel is unknown, once something goes wrong, what should his elderly parents do?”

   "I didn't understand these things until a long time later." Keating apologized deeply. He had just finished his walk-and-go study tour at the time, so he didn't understand why Wilson couldn't do what he wanted to do like him.

"I said that I would help him in his quest. I had confidence in him from the beginning, and he was so determined himself. I offered him money, and he accepted it without any pressure, and promised me that in becoming The excellent doctor returned it to me. At the back, he was discouraged and refused to take my money for nothing. So he came to work in a slaughterhouse and started to earn money to support his family, retaining the last decency and dignity .” Boss Xin finally finished what he said at the beginning.

   "I thought it was you who blocked him from walking the way he wanted to go, and I almost fought with you." Keating was sorry, "Sorry, Xin."

Boss Xin didn't care about Keating's reaction: "It's nothing, it's all over, and I have nothing to lose, and you are doing it for his own good. And I have been drinking for nothing in Quinn's Tavern for so many years, so let's take it as even .”

   "How's his son?" Keating asked Willow.

   "He is a calm and introverted good boy, exactly the same as Wilson back then." Boss Xin replied, "Including dreams."

   "Then he is now?"

   "He is in charge of the Quinn Tavern, and I plan to let him inherit my Blood Knife Gang in the future." Boss Xin stopped talking about helping him become a doctor, paving the way for Willow to walk for people like them.

   Keating said: "You should know that the new conscription law, the government kills two birds with one stone. While vigorously suppressing outsiders, it is also weakening the strength of your local gangs. It is destined not to be a long-term solution for you to lead him this way."

   "I know that he may face some difficult problems in the future, and I believe he can handle them." Xin Lao said.

   "You never thought about letting him become a doctor?"

   "Thinking about it, but he himself refused."

   "Why?" Keating was puzzled.

  Willow and Wilson were very different at the time.

  Wilson was poor at the time and came from a humble background. At the very least, Willow has enough money and has nothing to worry about. Even if he is discriminated against in the old South Dating, he can use the money to try other places.

  Doctor's path will work no matter what.

"He said that he not only wanted to be a doctor, but also wanted to make up for Wilson's regrets and open a civilian hospital in Old South York to treat poor people who couldn't afford high treatment fees." Although Boss Xin disagreed with Willow from the bottom of his heart But he is still proud of him, "Besides, he also wants to open a school so that those poor people who do not have the conditions can become doctors."
