The puppets' stage play

Zhao Zhengming looked at Yao Chong gloomily, speechless for a moment.

After a while, he laughed.

"Brother Yao, isn't it too particular to do this? After all, everyone agrees with you." He glanced at Liu Xinyue in the middle, but at this moment, there was not much emotion in his eyes, which made the other party feel cold.

"I always only attack women who take the initiative to throw themselves into my arms. Brother Yao should be able to know my character these days." He spoke clearly and his thoughts were very clear, and he did not get angry as everyone expected.

Although Zhao Zhengming's face was blue and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, his posture at this moment had an air of nobility.

"Don't you see that Xiaoyue is unwilling?! Besides, I have wanted to beat you for a long time. I pretend to look down on others every day and always think that others are mentally retarded. What now?

Haha, you clown, haha." Yao Chong smiled with a smile on his face and looked dismissive of Zhao Zhengming.

"Where's the clown..." Zhao Zhengming's smiling face froze for an instant, and he murmured in a low voice, his face became gloomy, and he stared deeply at Yao Chong.

"Ha" Zhao Zhengming glanced in the direction of the bedroom, looked sideways at Wu Yunqiao, chuckled, turned around, ignored her, and went downstairs alone.

Wu Yunqiao originally looked at Yao Chong angrily, but now she also looked panicked and hurriedly followed him.

"I hope you won't regret it, just look forward to my repayment in the future."

Zhao Zhengming's words were heard in the air, his voice was calm and without any warmth.

Yao Chong's heart sank and he looked at the other party's back solemnly.

It seems that the other party wants to get into a high position and retaliate against him in the future. Zhao Zhengming is not as lustful and violent as he thought. He originally planned to take the opportunity to destroy the other party if he attacks him. Now...

He suddenly felt panic in his heart, what should he do, but his words didn't matter. If his family was implicated, wouldn't he deserve death?

He lowered his head and tried hard to think of a solution. His chaotic brain was heating up, and he felt a little desperate.

Qi Xiu looked at this farce, yawned in boredom, stood up and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute" Yao Chong called him as if he saw a savior. He ignored it and didn't intend to care about the other party. This kind of thing would not do him any good.

kindness? A hand put on his shoulder, and he looked sideways, and it was Wu Sheng.

The opponent's eyes were sincere and firm, but he refused to let him go, which gave him a headache.

On the one hand, because of the news he had recently received, and on the other hand, as a member of Song Sheng's small circle, he could not simply walk away due to emotions and reasons.

He simply stood there, and Yao Chong ran over on his hands and knees and hugged him.

"Hehe...hehe, Du De, you are still so cold and cold. It was like this before. You have always been alone. Let's go and have a drink together." Yao Chong said boldly, hugging Qi Xiu and heading out. .

Qi Xiu could feel the other person's body trembling a little, probably because he was forcing himself to say the reason. He glanced at Wu Sheng, and saw a pleading look on the other person's face, recalling his original desire.

He sighed in his heart and convinced himself that it was to better absorb the other party's legacy and no longer refuse.

The three men hugged each other and went down the stairs.

Liu Xinyue watched Yao Chong's leaving figure until the figure disappeared, just looking ahead in a daze.

The door to the back bedroom opened, and Song Sheng came out with a frown and looked around. He was thinking before and heard what sounded like an argument, but he only saw Liu Xinyue alone.

What about Druid? He was worried in his heart and asked Liu Xinyue anxiously.

The other party stuttered in his answer. Song Sheng's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and his heart was full of disgust for Zhao Zhengming and Yao Chong.

‘Looks like I have to talk to Mr. Tang.’ A cold light flashed in his eyes.

Song Sheng asked Liu Xinyue to go home alone, watching her leaving figure on the balcony, and made a decision in her heart.

6th Street, Enli Night Market

When night falls, this place is different from the bright daylight in the center of the inner ring city. Instead, it has the scene of a big night market in the past, with yellowish lights, shopkeepers cheering loudly, and pedestrians with cheerful faces and costumes.

More than a dozen red balloons were flying in the air. In a candy house, a child looked up with envy. One hand handed over a candy bar. An ordinary woman smiled warmly. The child happily grabbed the candy and held her mother's hand tightly. hand.

The woman was wearing a dress, squatting on the side of the road in frustration, with water in her eyes. The man hurried over, touched his head and apologized naively. The woman punched the other woman, and the man grabbed her, looking at the woman's crimson face. The two of them Looking at each other and smiling, full of sweetness.

The drunk man fell weakly on the roadside and stared blankly at the passers-by. The man in ordinary clothes saw this and apologized to his relatives and friends.

He ran to the man's side in a small step, pulled him up, supported the drunkard with his shoulders, and complained softly that the other man had ruined his vacation. The drunkard laughed and cast a trusting gaze on him.

Qi Xiu and the other three were walking on the road without attracting attention. Yao Chong became more active when he arrived here, greeting the surrounding store managers and the crowd.

"Uncle Liu, give me more fresh fish from that time."

"Aunt Shen, your vegetables are the freshest. I make the decision. You want to send more to my family."

"Okay, thanks to Xiao Yao, my old store can continue to open."

"It's settled, I can't go back on my word. Auntie will definitely choose the freshest one."

There are aquatic products store, fruit and vegetable store, toy store, and air gun store. This place is different from the inner circle. They are all ordinary goods with no high-tech content. In the past, Qi Xiu wouldn't even look at them.

But now, looking at Yao Chong's skillful conversation, he felt quite complicated.

He didn't know when he started to evaluate people only by their value. Although he didn't think he was wrong, he still felt a little melancholy when he saw this scene. He realized more and more that he was getting further and further away from ordinary people.

Wu Sheng was silent with him, and the two of them followed Yao Chong all the way to a soup house.

The three of them walked into the house. Yao Chongdang was the first to communicate with the shop owner, talking and laughing with each other. Wu Sheng motioned for him to find a seat to sit down first. He did not object and looked around the house from the corner of his eye.

There was a lot of noise in the room, and the costumes of the guests were very ordinary. Even if their bodies accidentally bumped into each other, they only smiled tolerantly. There were more than a dozen tables in total, and only the table on the right side was empty.

Qi Xiu and others were sitting here. He looked at the sign on the wall, which showed that various drinks, staple food, tea, and wine were provided here.

Wu Sheng covered his mouth with his hands and leaned on the table, his eyes serious and thoughtful.

Qi Xiu looked at the table. There were only copper utensils with chopsticks and wet wipes to wipe the corners of his mouth. A pot of hot water was placed on the table. Looking up, Yao Chong smiled and held three large bowls in his hands.

"Drink some water first to moisten your throat."

He gave the bowl to Qi Xiu, poured some lightly into the bowl, and poured it to Wu Sheng. Then he sat down and poured water for himself.

Qi Xiu looked at it and saw that there was not much water. There was obviously still so much water. He looked at Yao Chong. Yao Chong drank it all in one gulp, his face twitching. Wu Sheng sniffed the bowl and saw the steam rising above him, frowning a little.

Music was playing in the store at this time, which made Qi Xiu frown, feeling a little familiar.

"...My family is in the food business, processing raw products and selling them to others at high prices, so I know all the previous store managers. They are considered subsidiaries of my family."

Yao Chong glanced at the counter and did not explain. Instead, he talked about the previous events.

Wu Sheng's heart moved, "Then this night market..."

"Most of them are owned by my family. In addition, there are two night markets and eight dealerships on 6th Street. There are even more on 8th Street, with 7% of the lower class share of the city." Yao Chong looked calm, not feeling embarrassed. So proud.

"My family basically sells to the lower class, and is also known as a manure digger by fellow businessmen. Even so, most of my family's interests must be handed over to the real masters of the city in order to avoid being defeated by my peers."

Yao Chong's throat rumbled and he looked at Qi Xiu with red eyes.

"It's my fault. I underestimated Zhao Zhengming. I will never regret beating him, but... I can't help them, those innocent subordinates. I will take responsibility, but I'm afraid that the other party will implicate innocent people." "He lowered his head and spoke in a low tone.

"So Dude, please help me!"

He begged softly, but Qi Xiu was indifferent and looked away. Wu Sheng, who had been silent before, now spoke instead.

"Have you never thought about the consequences of your punch? Aren't you afraid?"

Wu Sheng's tone was very light, but he pointed out the reason why the other party said this.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. I'm still shaking now, but I don't want to see Xiao Yue like that..."

Yao Chong raised his face, his face was pale and the corners of his eyes were red.

"Pedantic, woman, haha" Qi Xiu's abrupt sarcasm made Yao Chong's eyes widen. He wanted to speak several times, but still lowered his head.

Wu Sheng said nothing, just looked at the water in the cup.

"...However, I will help you. If the other person does too much, after all, I also look down on him."

When Qi Xiu thinks of a certain piece of information, he still gives the other party some hope verbally. He will investigate carefully before considering whether to intervene.

Yao Chong suddenly raised his head, looked at Qi Xiu in surprise, and shouted loudly.

"Okay! From today on, you are my good brother, Yao Chong. Whoever dares to be disrespectful to you, I will teach him a lesson myself." He chuckled and suddenly seemed extremely relaxed.

"Am I not counted?" Wu Sheng deliberately interrupted and joked.

"Think about it. From now on, we will be the three invincible brothers, haha."

Yao Chong was extremely excited, jumped up and ran to the counter, asking others for drinks.

Qi Xiu listened quietly and asked Wu Sheng, "What song is this?"

"You haven't heard of it? Oh, I understand." Wu Sheng was surprised at first, but then he understood a little more when he thought about how the other person used to be a loner.

"It's called 'Falling in Love with That Girl'. It's a song about a man who misses his first love. It's quite popular recently," Wu Sheng explained.

"Oh..." A scene flashed through Qi Xiu's mind, the woman in white, and he narrowed his eyes.

Weird!
