Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

Li Haibo was originally just a small person on the edge of the black market, attached to a small organization that engaged in buying and selling.

To put it bluntly, it is to steal things, and then sell them for money.

If the things stolen every day are not enough and the value is not high enough, they will have to be scolded, beaten, and starved——by living so hard, they can barely exchange the capital for their livelihood.

This is all because he is an illegitimate child and a "black household".

His mother was engaged in the job of a wandering warbler in the red-light district in ancient times. She was used to the hard life of wandering and humiliating. She finally seized the opportunity to have a good time with the bigwigs of the Li family, and imagined that she could take this opportunity to give birth to a child. Climb into a relationship with the Li family and escape the sea of ​​suffering completely.

Of course, she succeeded, otherwise Li Haibo wouldn't exist.However, she also failed.Because after she had worked so hard and spent all her savings to give birth to Li Haibo, before she had time to confess to the young master of the Li family, she was discovered by his real wife and sold to a lower and barren place.

"No one has seen her body. You don't need to see her, but you know she must be dead. If you are sold to that kind of place, no normal person can survive, let alone a frail woman. If not When I secretly carried you away, you had to die too."

This is what Grandma Li, who raised Li Haibo, told him.Li Haibo didn't know how a helpless old man like Grandma Li survived in the black market, and he never thought about it at that time.He only knew that Grandma Li adopted him for "someone will collect his body for him in the future", and when he was 12 years old, he did finish the funeral for Grandma Li.

He grew up in the black market since he was a child, without a registered permanent residence, and he didn't even know who his father was.Grandma Li has no ability to send him to school, and he himself has no ability.He can only make a living in this small organization by relying on Grandma Li's thin face and his experience of living in the black market for more than ten years.

Before meeting Lin Tianyu, he also stole many people and suffered many beatings for this.But he never felt that he had done anything wrong, let alone feel guilty—a person who can't eat enough to eat would not think so much.If you have to say that you did something wrong, it is probably because you are not good at learning and you were caught.

In fact, he didn't want to steal Lin Tianyu that day.That guy doesn't have much money at first glance.But he was so hungry.He was so hungry that he felt that if he didn't eat, he would not survive today.He just wanted to quickly find someone who looked the best at stealing and would not be beaten too hard after being discovered.

But obviously, he was wrong that day.Lin Tianyu couldn't help being very rich, but also very difficult to steal, and he beat people very hard.

I don't know why, but that day when he was beaten and lying on the ground, he suddenly felt wronged.He didn't know why he lived, and why he had to starve and be beaten just to live.It seems that all this is a meaningless cycle, just to let him experience the pain in the world.

Perhaps at the last moment he thought he had, he suddenly had the desire to confide his pain to a stranger.But he didn't know where to start, and he didn't know what to say to make himself feel better.

"I'm so hungry. Really hungry. I don't know what to do."

That's all he said at the end.

It was these words that saved him, touched Lin Tianyu's heart, and changed his life drastically.

He knew that Lin Tianyu was using him.Having someone like him who has worked in the black market for more than ten years do things for him can save a lot of time and energy.

And Li Haibo is also very happy to be used by the other party - this is not only for repaying kindness, but also for being able to use Lin Tianyu's strength to climb out of the swamp of poverty.

He knew that it was impossible for him to leave the black market in his life, so at least, he would seize every opportunity to climb higher, hold more power and wealth, and get rid of the days of being cold, hungry, and despised forever.

Just like his mother thought back then.

Fortunately, Lin Tianyu did not disappoint him.Whether it's "Tian Yu" or "Alchemy Master", as long as he just names it casually, his life in the black market will be ten times or a hundred times better than before.Even if he knows that working for Lin Tianyu is actually very risky, if he is not careful, he may anger someone who shouldn't be provoked and die.But so what?Is death really such a terrible thing?

He thought, that's fine.As long as it doesn't come to that painful and miserable day, it's okay to take a little risk.

But the reality is so ironic—when he finally felt that he could live a stable life, when he had made up his mind not to think about life accidents, assassinations followed one after another, and there was only one reason ——He is the illegitimate son of the Li family.

The status of the illegitimate son of the Li family did not bring him any benefit.But he paid a heavy price for it time and time again.From a lowly background that lost family ties, to a life path that was doomed by being trapped by a black family identity, and now you have to pay your life for it?What a joke!

If he was going to die, it would be his brothers who also shed the blood of the Li family, but lived so freely and carefreely, that they even disregarded human lives first!

"Ah... oh. Um. Um? Finished?"

The person in front of him finally raised his eyelids and looked at him,

"So? I'm not a policeman or a judge. You can't expect me to let you go just because you are miserable, or because your revenge on the Li family is justified and just, right?"

Ling Yao lowered his head and wiped his sunglasses, then hooked the temples with his little finger to make the sunglasses rotate, just glanced at Li Haibo, then looked down at the phone, and said:

"What's more, if I let you go, how will I deal with the Li family?"

Li Haibo immediately discerned that the other party asked him to be healed not out of sympathy, but for profit.

When he attacked the Li family just now, he implicated people from the Nan family, and the Nan and Li families were related by marriage.Unless he can propose greater benefits than consolidating the relationship between the Nan family and the Li family, and make up for the losses caused by the rift between the two families, the person in front of him will definitely turn him over to the Li family.

However, the other party has not made any more moves yet, which also shows that he is waiting for how much benefit he can bring him.

but……

In fact, he didn't know how much benefit he could offer in exchange.

Because all his current value is actually the added value brought to him by Lin Tianyu.Although Lin Tianyu saved him once and gave him a new possibility of life, he is not sure how much he has in Lin Tianyu's mind, nor does he know how much Lin Tianyu is willing to pay to save himself.

Until the last moment, he really didn't want to use Lin Tianyu to pull the banner of the tiger.After all, if Lin Tianyu knew that he was in trouble, not only did he not want to help him, but he also wished to get rid of him, or even add insult to injury... then he would be completely finished.

"The Nanbo Exhibition over there just now, are you Nan Bohong or Nan Botu? The relationship between the Nan family and the Li family is too late for you two brothers to destroy it. Why do you want to maintain it or even strengthen it? The relationship is too good. Aren't you afraid that Nanbozhan will take advantage of this to become the head of the family?"

Li Haibo's thoughts went back and forth, and he finally found what he thought was the best way to balance the pros and cons, and said slowly,

"You just need to pretend that you haven't seen me today, and my master and I will naturally wish you a helping hand when you need it..."

Ling Yao blinked, put on sunglasses, and sighed:

"Quick thinking and clear logic are not bad. It's a pity that the news is a little behind and the structure is not big enough.

"First of all, I don't care much about the ownership of the head of the Nan family. I won't have much advantage or disadvantage if anyone becomes the head of the family. After all, I am not attached to the Nan family to live."

"...Are you Nan Botu?"

Li Haibo pursed his lips,

"But they seem to listen to you."

If it was really rumored that he was the young master of the Nan family who was picked up halfway, why didn't this "Uncle Qin", who seemed to be a big shot in the Nan family, not directly report the situation to the main family, but instead waited for Nan Botu's instructions?

Or do these two brothers have a very good relationship, so these people think that Nan Botu's words can directly represent Nan Bohong's meaning?But Nan Bohong doesn't look like a guy who trusts others so easily.

This is also the reason why he couldn't directly determine the identity of the other party just now—and he was more inclined to say that the person in front of him was Nan Bohong, so he said such words to impress the other party.

And if it's Nanbotu...it's really harder to impress.

Because he doesn't know what the other party cares about.

"So, I'm actually not very interested in your business. As long as I don't let troubles entangle me, I can do anything. In contrast, I sold favors to the Nanbo exhibition and the Li family. Isn't it great?"

Li Haibo frowned, still trying to argue:

"Do you think Nanbozhan has a better chance? But Nanbozhan is not a magnanimous person. Your existence is a threat. As long as he is in power, even if you don't rely on Nan's family, he will have ways to block you. You can't Do you want to spend the rest of your life on the mercy of others?"

"Fourth Young Master... He is desperate now, and has to go to the doctor in a hurry. What he says may not be credible."

Qin Bai hesitated to speak, but finally did not express the judgment that the other party intentionally caused hostility.

Although he had already guessed that Nan Guozhong planned to hand over the Qi Refining Hall to Nan Botu, he didn't want Nan Botu to pull the Qi Refining Hall to stand in line for a certain junior of the Nan family too early.The Qi Refining Hall is the solid backing of the Patriarch. Once the future Patriarch of the Nan Family and the person in charge of the Qi Refining Hall are separated, the huge Nan Family may lose its foundation and fall apart at any time.

But Nan Guozhong didn't make it clear now, what position does he have to impose the principles of the master of the Qi Refining Hall on the other party?

He can only hope that Ling Yao is not someone who is so easily provoked.

And Ling Yao did not "disappoint" him:

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't want to offend Nanbozhan or anyone between my brothers for no reason. If they have a brain, they will know that it is not good to target me. In addition, from the perspective of the Nan family, no matter Who is the head of the family? As long as there is a marriage between the Li family and the Nan family, the relationship between the two families will always be closer. In the future, cooperation will always be more reliable than those who have no relatives and no reason. No one will be so stupid as to offend a future possible partners.

"Besides, if Nanbozhan needs to rely on the Li family to compete...then he will be like that. There is nothing to worry about.

"So, you have to be a little sincere, don't you? If you can't think of it, then it's my turn to make a condition."

Ling Yao shook his head, squinted his eyes and smiled again, and suddenly turned to Zhang Zhibo:

"You said yes, Boss Zhang?"

Ever since Zhang Zhibo was told by Ling Yao that the "such pills" circulating in the black market contained large smoke shells, he had been in a daze, and seemed to have a lot of thoughts to sort out—as for who he was thinking about taking advantage of this wicked business Earning his own money, or who is taking this opportunity to use drugs to control the little leaders of all parties in the black market, or weighing the pros and cons of eating or not eating, this is beyond Ling Yao's guess.

However, no matter what identity he has behind his back and what he is thinking now, it is not Ling Yao's concern.Ling Yao only needs that, at this moment, Zhang Zhibo knows that he should do things for himself, and he should be less distracted in order to obtain the greatest benefit - that's all.

Zhang Zhibo came back to his senses, and responded slightly perfunctorily:

"Yes. Yes. Of course. This matter is left to me, and it is not up to me to decide. Naturally, it is up to you to decide."

Li Haibo held his breath in his chest, feeling extremely stuffy.

Sure enough, those who are afraid of trouble are also the most troublesome to persuade.Because "staying out of trouble" is often in their best interest.For this "benefit", they can completely give up some benefits that seem attractive enough - the alchemist's elixir, the gemstone of the gemstone eye, these may not be able to impress the other party.

If the fish don't bite the bait, even the best fishing rod is useless.

"Whatever you want, you can just say it. If I can do it, I will do my best."

Losing the initiative is certainly a big taboo in negotiations, but at this time, I have already ignored many things.

Even if the people from the Nan family did emergency treatment, his leg would have been useless.But at least one life is still there, and there is still value to be traded with others, which is much better than being taken back by the Li family.

"Since I met you today, I will never deceive the Li family and hide it for you. However, I still have some room for manipulation in other parts. As for how to say it, it depends on your performance."

It's normal to have some struggles. Ling Yao is very satisfied with Li Haibo's reaction if he can judge the situation and change his attitude in time.

"First of all, let's unify the caliber. Today you only saw people from the Qi Refining Hall of the Nan Family, not me. Although they saw you, you were quickly taken away by people on the black market. The last place you appeared will be Here, where to go next, the people of the Nan family don't know at all, and they can't track it down. This will be my excuse to deal with the Li family, I hope you... say the same to the people behind you."

Li Haibo gritted his teeth slightly and nodded:

"The Nan family was only implicated innocently. I won't hold the grudge against you."

"Isn't this a matter of course? Don't say that I didn't send you back today. With your dangerous behavior affecting the Nan family, what's wrong with the people from the Nan family chasing you and arresting you? Sigh, forget it. In short, the point of this passage is actually that you have to tell the person behind you that you haven't seen me."

Ling Yao raised his eyebrows, then shook his head.

Li Haibo realized that he had misunderstood the direction this time, and frowned:

"Why? If you let me go, he will only thank you..."

"He knows me and has a grudge against me, okay? Don't fucking thank me then, just come up and give me a shot."

Ling Yao unceremoniously interrupted the other party directly, so straightforward that everyone present was speechless for a moment.

He really didn't want to explain too much, and it was time for Lin Tianyu to come to him after explaining.

"But he... well. I know. But in this way, I can't say anything good for you in front of him, and bring you more tangible benefits."

Because Ling Yao's attitude was too straightforward and resolute, Li Haibo had nothing to say.After all, Ling Yao's actions are only in favor of him, not Lin Tianyu, and he can't guarantee that Lin Tianyu will give up the grievances between himself and "Nan Botu" for him.

"It doesn't matter. It's good if he doesn't come to find fault with me. Just keep your mouth shut and don't involve me and the Nan family. This is the biggest benefit we can reap this time."

"The Nan family and the alchemist had no grievances at all before. We can obviously take this opportunity to reap great benefits. Could it be that because of his personal enmity with you, we have everything..."

Questions suddenly came from the crowd in the Qi Refining Hall behind him, but they were quickly suppressed by Qin Bai's voice:

"Hu Fangtao! Shut up!"

"I'm not wrong! Haven't we already found out that Jewel Eye Tian Yu is the Lin Tianyu at the banquet of Zhou's family! The jade Buddha he gave to Mr. Zhou at the end was opened by Tian Yu himself in the black market gambling quarry Emperor Green! Tian Yu swore at the time that no one would sell that piece of jade! If he hadn't offended Gemstone Eye at the banquet..."

Ling Yao didn't look back, but smiled instead.

This is the strength of Nan Guozhong.

Obviously, he himself looked down on Lin Tianyu, and it was also he who first decided to side with the Zhou family and hindered Lin Tianyu's actions.But Nan Guozhong didn't show it, and didn't even hand over the matter to Nan Bohong and other candidate successors; instead, he pushed Ling Yao out, let him take the lead, and let him offend others.In this way, if the benefit is obtained, it belongs to the Nan family's benefit; and if he offends someone who shouldn't be offended, he can directly push Ling Yao, the unrelated grandson, to the blame, and let the entire Nan family Stay out of it.

What's even more ridiculous is that even some members of the Nan family thought that it was him "Nan Botu" who wanted to trouble Lin Tianyu at the banquet last time, but completely ignored Nan Guozhong's acquiescence, and even completely ignored his experience in other families. In front of the Nan family, establish an image of being responsible and daring to do something.

Of course, at the banquet, he was actually voluntarily included.Who told him that he just couldn't stand it?But if someone in Nan's family felt that he was dragging Nan's family down and danced to him...then he would not be happy.

"Okay. How about I change it? The rest of the Nan family didn't find your whereabouts, but this...Mr. Hu, he found you. But after hearing what happened to you, he sympathized with you, so he let it go You. Without him, you would have no chance of surviving. How? It’s all-happy-happy after all, isn’t it?”

Li Haibo swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

This is too...too cruel...
