Chapter 190 Despised

Locke has lived in Port Feso for nearly ten years, but few people paid attention to him. He usually lives in seclusion, just a bald inspector behind the counter of Jindianxing who never attracts attention.

There are no more than two palms of people who know that he is the boss behind the Golden Gang. These people are either dead or impossible to tell. The Golden Gang no longer exists. This is a piece of history that has been buried and has never been made public.

The Locke people are talking about today is the local name used by Mr. Avaji Fogan, one of the standing members of the People's Committee of Fisoport City.

He has beautiful short blond hair. Compared with half a year ago, he is not only slimmer, but even his wrinkles have disappeared, and his temperament is even more radiant.

Even people who have seen him before will not associate him with the original inspector from Jindian Bank. They feel that they are completely different, even if the change in appearance is actually very small.

If someone stood up now and pointed out Locke's former identity, not only would no one believe him, but they would also be scolded, and if not, even beaten.

Those who promote Locke's deeds certainly don't mention that period of history, and they don't even seem to know that period of history. What they praise is Lord Fulgan.

Charles is a representative of the local indigenous people. His identity is very convincing. He was born in the poorest and chaotic neighborhood, raised by his mother and several aunts, and grew up with a group of brothers, sisters and cousins.

He joined the gang, worked as a gang boss for a period of time, and then revolutionized himself, established a new alliance and became the president, built the Kelin District, completely changed the face of the city, and became a leader admired by everyone.

Charles's experience is not only legendary and inspirational, but also very personal. He is like himself that people are familiar with, so people's support for him is also genuine empathy.

But Locke's identity is another kind of symbol, which is dreamlike or even totemic.

The history of Fisoport is a colonial history. Lanxi, Beli, and Yin were all once the suzerains of Kilili, and they still leave various indelible traces here.

The local people's mentality towards this kind of history is very complicated, which may not be understood by many Dongguo people.

On the one hand, they have sensitive self-esteem and like to brag, wear gold chains, and dress well, even if they have no money in their pockets and are still hungry.

They don't like to be belittled. If they hear such remarks, they will feel very angry and frankly feel hurt. But on the other hand, this is also a sign of low self-esteem, and they strongly want to be recognized.

This is contradictory and reasonable. Because they do live in the most impoverished, chaotic, backward and dangerous place in the world, and the overseas people they can come into contact with are basically tourists who are either rich or expensive, or celebrities who come to do charity.

Those people from overseas are rich in knowledge, well-spoken, and their every move is enviable. Ciel's feeling when he first met Princess Ketia when he was a teenager is probably the most typical example of this.

There is such a contrast, and the locals also aspire to be like that. Many people in the country basically want to immigrate overseas as long as they make money and receive higher education. In short, they are not willing to stay here.

When locals see those outsiders, they often wonder if they are living in paradise. And people who leave here will lament that they have lived in hell without knowing it.

This deep-seated sense of envy and even flattery is often unconscious. They have never been strong since ancient times. What is the confidence of their nation and culture? I don’t know, I have no idea at all!

Only those who are truly strong can achieve inner strength. For example, Hua Zhenxing would never care if someone looked down upon him because he was just a boy in a grocery store.

But in another situation, if the owner of the grocery store is not Yang Tehong, Huazhenxing is really just a clerk in the grocery store here. If someone laughs at his status, it would be difficult for him not to be angry and hurt. He also has sensitive self-esteem and hidden inferiority.

Therefore, Locke's deeds seem like a legend in myth. He is a super rich man with a long history of aristocratic origin in Bailuozhou and admirable conduct.

What's more important is that he chose Port Aiso. Not only does he live here, but he is now also an official citizen of the Kingdom of Kilili, and he has given huge investment support to the reform and development of Port Aiso.

Locke's deeds were spread by interested people, and it immediately became the most interesting topic among the locals... This is simply a saint, as if he was given to Fesoport by God!

After hearing Yue Gaole's answer, Hua Zhenxing immediately called Cui Wanhe, director of the cultural and publicity department of Huanxiang Industrial Headquarters. The Publicity Department not only creates and controls public opinion, but also tracks and pays attention to public opinion at all times. Such things should not be hidden from them.

The news obtained from the Propaganda Department is indeed true, and Cui Wanhyuk also introduced more detailed information. Recently, almost everyone in the entire Fiso Port is talking about Locke's deeds.

If we regard it as a trend, it is a continuation of the surface-cleaning activities that took place some time ago. The surface-cleaning is material, while the discussion and dissemination of Locke's deeds is spiritual.

It first started in various Youpo noodle restaurants. Someone asked other people in the noodle restaurant if they knew who owned these noodle restaurants. After telling the answer, he went on to promote Locke's other deeds.

Hua Zhenxing asked Cui Wanhyuk if he had found anyone behind the scenes to promote this public opinion in an organized way? Cui Wanhyuk said that she didn't know, but she had suspicions in this regard and was currently investigating, but nothing had been found yet.

But one thing is certain, this matter was not led by Huanxiang Industrial’s Publicity Department. It seems that someone saw various relevant reports from overseas media and excitedly told people around them, thus setting off this wave of public opinion.

After hanging up the phone, Hua Zhenxing was speechless for a while. The former boss behind the gang was promoted to a saint in the blink of an eye. This is really an indescribable paradox.

Although the former Locke did not have any obvious bad deeds, he was by no means a good person. His real transformation began on that rainy night. Everything he did afterward was a kind of self-salvation in Hua Zhenxing's view.

As for him being awarded the title of honor by the Belijing royal family and having so many admirable deeds reported, it was all a deliberately arranged misunderstanding...

"Boss Hua, why are you looking so solemn? What happened?" Yue Gaole spoke again, interrupting Hua Zhenxing's meditation.

Hua Zhenxing turned around and asked: "Mr. Yue, I believe many things cannot escape your eyes. In your opinion, is this matter organized and promoted by someone behind the scenes?"

Yue Gaole replied simply: "Of course! It breaks out at multiple points, links with each other, quickly forms hot spots, and uses various methods to continue to maintain the popularity. Damn it if it is not organized and planned!

Although you are very smart and live in the Internet age, you will suffer the consequences of living in Fisoport. If you live in a country where news media and online information are very developed, you will be able to react immediately and there is no need to ask me. "

Hua Zhenxing: "Did you do it?"

Yue Gaole shook his head exaggeratedly and said: "Without evidence, how can you taint someone's innocence? I am just a spectator and have nothing to do with this matter. I can even swear that if I did it, I would be struck by lightning from the sky!"

Hua Zhenxing raised his head and looked at the sky, and Yue Gao Le said again: "Boss Hua, don't scare me. I really didn't do it."

If it were a local who likes to talk about trains, Hua Zhenxing would just think he was farting when he made such an oath. But Hua Zhenxing believed what a great magician said, and he asked again: "Mr. Yue, who do you think did it?"

"I'm just a spectator and have nothing to do with this matter." Yue Gaole said exactly the same thing as before.

Hua Zhenxing: "Make an appointment with a lawyer and I can pay you the consulting fee."

"Without evidence, how can you taint someone's innocence?" He said the same thing as before.

Hua Zhenxing frowned and said to himself, "You didn't do it, could it be Lian Na?"

Yue Gaole shook his head repeatedly and said: "I thought Boss Hua was very smart, but it turned out that he would make such childish mistakes. It's no wonder, differences between close friends and strangers are inevitable!

You don't really regard Lina as one of your own, at least not in the most trustworthy circle. According to the most normal logic, instead of doubting Lian Na, why not doubt Locke himself? "

Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said, "It can't be Locke."

Yue Gaole laughed out loud: "This shows that you trust and understand Locke. It also shows that you do not completely trust Lian Na and do not fully understand her.

It doesn't matter, no one can completely and trust anyone. But you have to have a brain! What's the difference between what Lianna did and what Locke himself did?

The two of them sleep in the same room every day. Locke is such a shrewd person. If it was Lian Na who did it, would he know about it? If he knew it, would he be able to stop it?

If he didn't stop it, it would be equivalent to Locke's own connivance. And you said it couldn't be Locke, then it couldn't be Lina. "

Hua Zhenxing was the first to suspect Lian Na, because he really couldn't think of anyone who was suspected, so he could only think of Lian Na, who had the closest relationship with Locke, but was ridiculed by Yue Gaole.

There is actually nothing to be ashamed of showing timidity in front of people like Yue Gao Le. Old Man Yang is very thick-skinned. Hua Zhenxing felt that he should also get some true lessons from his old man in this regard, so he smiled and said: "Yue Gao Le" Lawyer, since you mentioned this matter, please give me some advice."

Yue Gaole's tone changed: "Did you just say you would pay a consulting fee?"

Hua Zhenxing: "How many do you want?"

About Gao Le: "A box of Spring Beauty Pills."

Hua Zhenxing: "Want this? There will be three hundred boxes in a few days!"

Yue Gaole: "That's different. This box is personal to me. You gave it to me."

Hua Zhenxing has been disgusted by the endless extortion incidents in Fiso Port since he was a child, but he has always been just a bystander, and these incidents have not fallen on him. without

Thinking of the first time I was blackmailed for such a huge amount, the wholesale price of a box of Chun Yong Dan was NT$20 million. I just asked for a few words. Why does a lawyer charge so much?

Hua Zhenxing: "You are a grown man and a great magician, why do you want Chunrong Pill?" He still wanted to struggle based on his tone.

Yue Gao Le: "I don't use it myself, but I can give it to others. Who can't have a sweetheart? Boss Hua, I always think you are very generous in doing things. It is not wise to be stingy at this time."

Hua Zhenxing: "Okay, I'll give it to you!" After saying that, he turned around and went into the warehouse, took out a box of Chunrong Pill, which looked like a cigarette, and handed it to Yue Gaole on the spot.

Yue Gaole took the box of Chunrong Pills and flipped his wrist, and the items disappeared. He asked with a satisfied smile: "I'll give Boss Hua some ideas. If you want to analyze who did something, you must first analyze it. What is its purpose and who benefits from it?”

Hua Zhenxing replied: "On the surface, it seems that Locke benefits because he has maxed out his reputation points. So assuming it is Locke, what is the meaning of his doing this? This does not have any substantial benefit to him. If he wants to To replace Ciel’s position is simply to take the wrong medicine!”

How did Ciel's status come about, and can Locke replace him? Outsiders don’t know it, but Locke himself doesn’t know it either! Besides, there was no need for Locke to do this. If he really had this idea, not only would he be taking the wrong medicine, he would simply be seeking death, and it would also be completely inconsistent with Locke's character.

Yogao Le: "This shows that the person who did this did not know the inside story at all, and did not know that the person who disliked the result the most was Locke himself. Then let me ask you again, who will benefit from it?"

Hua Zhenxing wondered: "This is the weird thing. If Locke didn't do it himself, who else could benefit from it?"

Yogao Le did not answer, but asked instead: "Boss Hua is the controller of this city. I am just an outsider who has just arrived here. Do you still want to ask me?"

Hua Zhenxing: "This is what I can't figure out. Who does this for what purpose? What benefits can it bring to him?"

Yue Gaole: "You have your intuition. The first thought you had just now was of Lian Na, so who else did you think of?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Brexi and Pidan, two envoys from Gambistine, senior magicians."

Yo Gao Le: "You thought about it, why didn't you doubt them first?"

Hua Zhenxing replied: "They will compliment Locke, but there is no need to do it in this way. Moreover, these two magicians are the key targets of the new alliance. They have stayed with O'Haim these days and have never walked out of that situation." courtyard.

The people who came into contact with them were also internal backbones of the New Alliance. If they or O'Haim had done it, the Propaganda Department would have found out long ago, and they would not be just suspicious but have no clues. "

About Gao Le: "Test Boss Kao Hua's memory. When we first met, what did he say before leaving?"

Hua Zhenxing thought for a while and answered: "What you can see is not a big problem. Be careful about the things you haven't seen yet."

Yogao Le: "What are you thinking about now?"

Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said, "I still didn't expect anything."

Yue Gaole sighed and said: "You seem to be a very smart kid, why don't you understand? If this is the case, you can't be the boss behind the scenes, and it will be difficult for you to control this city to do what you want to do."

Is this being looked down upon? Hua Zhenxing suddenly slapped his head and said: "I remembered a person, that is the Oude magician, formerly known as Gu Wentong, a native of Dongguo."

Yue Gaole let out a long breath and said, "I don't think I'm from Dongguo. You finally remembered him, but you're so slow!"
