Chapter 213 Rules of the Jianghu
"Jianghu" is a flesh-and-blood mill that talks about "rules". It will be difficult to get out of here once you step in. The rules of "Little Jianghu" under the command of the "High Table Alliance" are even more stringent.
The first part of the fast-tracking pursuit is that if you kill my dog, I will chase you to the ends of the world. It is useless for the Heavenly King to plead with love, it is said that the original blood debt and blood repayment is paid.
The second part tells that Weike was forced to come out of the mountain to kill an old acquaintance because of his "blood oath".
What’s interesting is that when an old acquaintance saw Weike, he roughly understood the whole story. When he knew that he was unable to resist, he faced his own death calmly without any intention of blaming Weike.
This means that even if I am reluctant, I have to fulfill my "commitment".
Then the culprit turned his back on his face. In the end, Weike knew that the consequences were serious, so in order to get out, he shot the culprit in a hotel in mainland China, which eventually led to his pursuit.
The third part is interesting. Although Weike was chased, he always wanted to find a way to get rid of it within the rules, and he almost succeeded.
This seems to be a bit fatalistic. Born in the world and died in the world, such a powerful person is bound to it and cannot be broken free.
But in the end, because of his friendship with mainland hotel owner Winston and because he gave himself an hour of escape, Weike once again chose to stand opposite the "high table".
‘Jianghu’ talks about rules. Compared with those killers who seek life under the rules, Weike represents the passion and human nature retained in this ruthless world.
The doctor who risked his life to treat the injury to Weike, the female Russian gang boss who risked his love to help Weike smuggle because of his kindness, the female gunman who was "crazy" with his dog with Weike, and the black buddy boss of the New York Beggars' Gang...
These people actually have their own personalities and passion, but they are suppressed by the "Jianghu" and can only follow the trend of the world.
Others Li Wei didn't know, but when he watched this action movie himself, the core of his understanding was about the contradiction between human nature and system. (I guess the screenwriter didn't expect anyone to over-interpret it)
Basically all moral rules and legal provisions are against human nature, because genetic nature is selfish.
But it is the positive moral laws that impose us in our hearts that give us ‘human nature’ and ‘love’, which distinguish us from other animals to become true priests of all things.
The law of thermodynamics contains the concept of "entropy", which roughly means "positive entropy" represents development and disorder, and everything that is allowed to develop will eventually become nothingness.
"Negative entropy" represents order and rules, which ensures that things develop within a certain framework and will not go to destruction.
In this sense, it is actually "human nature" and "love" that guarantee the continuation of humanity.
The beauty of this world lies in its "complexity" and "diversity". Nothing is absolute. Human nature is also evolving with the development of the times, but it has never left the original big framework.
The ancient laws became inapplicable in modern times, and the development and transformation of these laws were often driven by the evolution and blood of human nature.
For example, circumcision in Africa and stoning in the Middle East have been basically abolished, and laws that do not meet the conditions of the times will eventually be eliminated.
Weike's resistance, in a sense, is to resist the injustice of the cold rules to certain individuals.
The so-called rules of the world in the movie are actually bad habits according to current concepts.
Holding a token and asking a person to kill his beloved relatives or do things that he is extremely disgusted with, define it using the simple "debt repayment" theory, is actually a sneaking change of concepts.
The fourth part is the fast pursuit of Li Wei and has never seen it before crossing the line. Finally, whether John Weike completely broke the rules or killed the person who enforced the rules, Li Wei is not sure.
But to the point of view, if there are no people with common ideas to support it, the rules and regulations cannot be broken.
Killing one or several people to force the other party to compromise, and then "disappear" himself, may be the final solution.
Having said so much, what Li Wei cares about is that if the "Little Jianghu" in charge of this high table alliance really exists, then it will have any impact on him, because Beltran has already raised the question.
Facing Beltran, who was embarrassed, Levi spread his hands and said, "What can I do with a hotel? I just met a friend who needs someone to help get my luggage.
Oh, that guy you should know, is Helen's husband, John Wicker."
After hearing this, Beltran said in surprise: "Ah? John Wicker is staying in a hotel in the mainland?"
"Is there any problem?"
Beltran looked at Li Wei who knew it and shook his head helplessly and said, "The police in Los Angeles know that the mainland hotel is a killer agency and intelligence center.
But they use a monetary system and ordering process that is completely different from the real society, so we have never been able to catch their handles."
As he said that, Beltran approached Li Wei and whispered: "There are rumors that mainland hotels are also underground intelligence exchange points for various countries. FBI has been watching them for many years but has not found a way to uproot them.
Your identity is different now, you have to be more at ease and keep a distance from mainland hotels.”
Levi looked at Beltran with contempt and said, "I thought you were talking nonsense when I heard it. Who do FAI really want to mess with? How can it be better in the United States?
Just say that there is a big background behind the mainland hotel. What can I have to do with it? Does anyone really want to kill it and need to spend money to find a killer?"
As he said that, Li Wei looked at the strange expression on Beltran's face, and he said with a dry smile: "I mean it's better to call the police than to spend money to find a killer.
I am a person who is righteous and passionate, and I don’t think of those slutty things at the most.”
Officer Beltran looked at Levi's unintentional look and sighed slightly, saying, "Don't fool me, we all know what's going on. I'm just reminding you not to get involved with people from mainland hotels."
As he said that Beltran seemed to remember something, he looked at Levi and said angrily: "Can you call your guy named Frank Custer back?
That guy drove a few Decepticons everywhere and confiscated a few gangsters' hometowns.
He actually burned a drug dealer's warehouse in Ximu District. Now half of the people in Ximu District are in a state of excitement.
Now someone is bored, so he calls the police in Ximu District to report drug enforcement. Do you know how many police in Ximu District hate your guys?"
"You can't talk nonsense. I'm just a landlord and haven't signed a contract with Frank yet. He's not my person now.
Well, he is a good citizen who is enthusiastic about charity and a pioneer of justice who resists the Decepticons..."
As he said that, Livi looked at Beltran's contempt expression, he couldn't make up any longer, so he could only take out the phone and look at Beltran and said, "I'll get them all back now. Frank isn't there any trouble?"
This is resisting alien invasion. As a social slag, no one has any objection to bear some collateral losses, right?"
When Beltran heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Of course the police are fine. FAI will probably not cause trouble for you, but those gangsters may not be sure, their losses are too great.
I was worried just now that you had something to do with the mainland hotel, but now I suddenly don’t worry anymore…”
"Why?"
"I'm not surprised that someone placed an order to buy Frank Custer's life in a hotel in mainland China after the war."
Li Wei sighed and patted his head, saying, "That guy is really a troublesome..."
As he said that, Livi looked at Beltran and said, "You seem to know the hotel very well. Is there any way to help them not take orders? I can prepare a thick list to send it to you."
Beltran shook his head with a weird expression and said, "I don't know~"
Li Wei understood at a glance that this guy was not unaware of it, but the identity of the policeman was inconvenient to say.
Mainland hotels represent a black area, which can also be understood as a node of a black network. Telling the law to them is a joke.
The significance of this network may be to standardize and orderly the high-end black forces on the earth, and to develop in an orderly manner while making chaos controllable.
Rules are monopoly, and monopoly produces huge profits!
After all, the ultimate chaos must be destruction. After all, everyone is just making a living, and making money safely is the ultimate need for everyone.
But everything must be reasonable. If the reason cannot be explained, you will be more gentle than others.
If mainland hotels or high table alliances have a big background, then the only way to check and balance them is to have a bigger background.
This is also a rule, just like most gangs have to "talk about numbers" before going to war, and if they don't know what to do, they can't reach a war again. After all, my family settlement fee is not cheap.
If you don’t play according to the rules, even if you take advantage of it for a while, the rejection from the world will make you unable to move forward.
I am a gun dealer. I know that this guy is an unscrupulous madman, it is not too much for me to increase the price by 3 times? Terrorists cannot treat ordinary people with guns.
If you don’t follow the rules, it means that the rules are not applicable to you, and then others will naturally look at you differently.
Even people like prison are treated the worst, which is equivalent to being on the credit blacklist, and it will be difficult for you to live a stable life.
Li Wei, who figured out the relationship, looked at Beltran and spread his hands and said, "Do you think the American Secretary of Defense has a great face?
If it is not enough and SHIELD is added, can this make mainland hotels reject his customers?”
After hearing this, Beltran shook his head with a smile and said, "This face is enough for the EU boss to accompany you to visit the kiln, let the Australian Prime Minister shine, and let the leaders of small Eastern European countries betray the country...
This is a cannon that kills mosquitoes, but it is best to kill them. Can you notify me during negotiations? I will go there to be a bodyguard for you.
There were more than a dozen murderers living in that hotel, and I wanted to drag them out and send them to prison.”
Li Wei would not do this. If he really wanted to help Beltran like this, he would be harming him.
As long as Beltran does not act randomly, he is within the rule of "police catches thieves". Even if he encounters an unreasonable psychopath, the "rule" will eventually complete his revenge.
In the case of "reasoning", mainland hotels will not do anything to him. If he is thrown a spoiled in the hotel lobby, maybe he should also say politely, "Welcome next time."
But relying on foreign aid to mess around, Beltran was in danger.
Li Wei decisively rejected Beltran's suicide request, and he called the intelligence chief Charlotte...
"Help me make an appointment with a presidential suite and a conference room at the Los Angeles Mainland Hotel, and I would like to ask the Secretary of Defense and the boss of SHIELD to go there and talk about something."
