Chapter 1 The Wedge Prosperity Has Opened For A Season

The flames were burning, the circuits were snapping, and his vision was blurry as he climbed out of the overturned car.

Under the night, in the park by the river, the dense lights of the city swayed like firelight on the opposite side, like a huge city floating on the water.That thriving scene contrasted with the remoteness and loneliness of the park here, remembering that he presided over the development of the park more than ten years ago.

"It's a failed development..."

The wind blew over, he sighed, and staggered towards the blurred water light. There was a loud explosion from the car behind him, the flames rose, and the heat wave swept from behind, as if to drown him. Generally, the sound of a helicopter came from the sky, followed by a bright beam of light that brightened the field of vision. Someone shouted in the sky, and the vehicles chasing on both sides of the park had also arrived, most of which were police cars, all kinds of lights, Chaos.

His head was still dizzy, and blood was flowing from his forehead. He reached out and wiped it, tightening his windbreaker. On both sides of the river, hovercraft and speedboats flocked to prevent him from diving and escaping.

"Really...I'm not a killer..."

All around, the dense siege of land, sea and air made him feel a little annoyed, and his vision was not clear. He knew in his heart that there might not be much chance of luck this time. The cold wind blew, and what came to mind in his mind was some irrelevant things.This is the city he grew up in. At that time, the city was not so good. Standing on the river bank, you could not see the prosperity of the whole city like a palace, but it felt warm. The river bank was also full of soil slopes. Loess Small Road, when I go to school from home, I often ride a bicycle from here with a few friends.

"I will build a park here in the future to make it more beautiful, so that there are high-rise buildings everywhere in the city, and we will all live in them..."

At that time, I was still young, and after going to the prosperous provincial capital, I made this ambition.What a high-spirited age, in the next 30 to [-] years, like a primitive man who had just invented stone knives and axes, he forged ahead with astonishing courage, surmounted countless thrilling difficulties unimaginable by others, and established one of the world's largest giants. The financial empire, when he thinks about it sometimes, even he himself feels like a dream.

In the eyes of others, he is already a financial giant who will not be defeated at all, and he thinks so too. However, when he returned to his old place at this moment, he gradually realized that this park was a failure after all.

Its original intention was to make everyone happy...

The failed development case is not irreparable later, as long as a lot of money is invested - for him now, this amount of money is nothing - but why hasn't it been done?When I wanted to do it, it was because I was not rich, but now I have deliberately avoided it because it was not profitable.When I think about it now, many things I thought I remembered were actually forgotten, and many things I thought I had forgotten, but in fact I remembered...

Those friends, partners, expectations and wishes to make the world a better place have traveled the road.He sat down on the stone bench on the river bank, the lights were dazzling, and his mood was complicated. He reached out and touched his pocket a few times. At this time, he really needed a cigarette, although he had quit for a long time...

Someone handed over the cigarette.

The man was standing beside him in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses. In fact, he didn't even have to look up to know it was him.He took the cigarette, and the man wearing gold glasses took out the lighter, blocked the wind with his hand, and lit it for him.

"I remembered what happened in the past. We went to school from here on bicycles. You, me, Qingyi, Akang, Ruoping... Qingyi died two years ago. I couldn't attend his funeral..." He After taking a puff of cigarette, the cold wind immediately blew it away when he spit it out, "How is Ruoping?"

"Have two children, and are doing well." The man with glasses sat down.

"Ah... What you told me, I almost forgot..." He thought for a while, then laughed, "She is the most beautiful among the girls. I remember that I had a crush on her and didn't dare to confess."

The man next to him was silent for a while, then took out a lighter and lit a cigarette: "I know you like her, and I confessed to her before you, but she was rejected... She said she liked you."

"I've never heard of you saying this..."

"What else can you do? Later, you are working hard for the future. You have forgotten her, and she can't always wait for you. If you don't confess, she will marry."

"Yeah, missed a lot..."

"You always strive for perfection."

"You know? When you reach the top..." He thought for a while, then raised his hand to make a high gesture, "When you reach the top, you will find that there is nothing but a momentary sense of accomplishment. You always feel that ... Regret... The road I'm taking now may not be what I wanted to get at the beginning..."

"Yeah," said the man with glasses.

After being silent for a while, he looked at the cigarette in his hand, and it was already very short: "It will be very troublesome to deal with the deficit of more than 100 billion. I made it clear a few months ago, and I have already made a plan. I just didn’t expect your reaction to be so violent. The company’s change of government can indeed transfer the deficit to some people. It’s a lot easier. You make some changes to the plan and try not to affect too many people. After all, we have worked hard together for so long.”

"...I." The man next to him hesitated for a while, as if trying to explain something, but in the end he just said, "Sorry."

"It's nothing, we've been together until now, I'm always standing in front, brother, it's time for you to try it... This game is set up very well, the company will give it to you, it won't fail, but... I will take it later. Some money, let’s really develop this side of the park, I always wanted to do it, I always thought I remembered it, but when I think about it, I don’t feel in a hurry, it always delays…”

"I told over there that after this incident, you can still live well..."

"Cut the grass without eradicating the roots, the spring wind blows and regenerates, and the tiger returns to the mountain..." He turned his head, with a stern look in his calm eyes, "What do you think you are?"

"As long as I'm alive, I can threaten you!" He paused, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out, "It's so cold at the heights, it's enough to come this far in my life, even if I want to start all over again, I will I hope that there is nothing to worry about, and I can do it all over again, those messy and dirty things, intrigue... If I can do it again..."

He smiled and stood up: "If I can do it again, I think I will confess to her..."

The helicopter hovered in the sky, the boats galloped on the water, and the park was surrounded by vehicles. On the embankment where the lights were focused, the man who stood up suddenly drew his gun, aimed at the man with glasses next to him, and witnessed his actions , the man with glasses also stood up at the same time, raised his hand, and waved towards the people around him: "Don't shoot—"

The gunshots rang out intensively, and blood flowers bloomed on his back. After a long while, he turned around and looked at the corpse lying in a pool of blood. He took off his glasses in a daze, wiped them a few times, and then again. Put it on, pick up the gun in the corpse's hand.

"I said don't shoot...there are no bullets..."

In the night wind, he murmured.
