Nine Prison Rings

Most ordinary people hope that the small days they live in will be free from illness and calamity, in good health, without worrying about food and clothing, and living a stable life.Most people have only one or two of these humble little wishes in their busy lives.

Some people are destined to be extraordinary; some people are gifted with wealth and wealth by God, and they have achieved a life that is all-powerful.Such a person has an enviable title, which is called "successful person".Even though their resumes indicate that they are from poor families, most of them have epic, tortuous and extraordinary experiences.So, unknowingly, it led a wave of "inspirational" in the whole society.It seems that the word "success" has only this kind of annotation.

People started chasing success crazily, spared no effort to run day and night, and wanted to become the best among others.For this reason, no matter the cost, no consequences.

Fame and wealth, prosperity and wealth; it has been the dream of every scholar since ancient times.Even traffickers and pawns yearn for the kind of domineering position that is high above and flamboyant.In a short life of less than a hundred years, power and money seem to be recognized as the most convincing proof of a person's life value.

Master Zhisheng, the sage Kong Dasheng is not immune to the vulgarity, let alone mediocre ordinary people like you and me?

On the contrary, the more obsessively chasing success; the bottom line of being a human being is getting lower and lower.

The people that Luo Xiu dealt with in the business field: whether it was Chi Wei, Chen Feng, or even Lu Guohua, they could all be considered successful people.However, the higher one climbs, the more one's greed expands, and it is almost impossible to fill it.This is the real horror.

He is a material born to read, and he is extremely intelligent.To achieve today's status and net worth, apart from his own shrewd business acumen, he has to seize the opportunity everywhere and add all kinds of scheming methods. "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up", a rich family fortune is also accumulated by stepping on the bones of others.

There are a lot of conspiracies and tricks, and while calculating others, they have actually planted countless hidden dangers for themselves.Luo Xiu is not superstitious, but he believes in retribution.He knew that one day, these unscrupulous benefits would eventually be repaid in other ways.

It's not that he is not psychologically prepared for this, he is even ready to wait for fate to claim compensation at all times.

Always walk along the river, how can there be no reason not to wet your shoes?The greater the benefits you get, the more things you get involved in, the harder it is to get out.

For example, in the face of Chen Feng's blackmail, Luo Xiu had already sounded the alarm in his heart.When Chen Feng is suspended for investigation, he will pull out a carrot and bring out mud, causing a series of chain reactions.Both myself and those around me who are inextricably related to this person may be implicated.It's just that no one can predict who the fire will burn on.

Luo Xiu had to prepare for the worst.

Originally, the interest in this place has been waning.It seems imminent to leave the land of right and wrong and start an ordinary life with Can again.

There are flowers in spring and moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter;

If there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world.

Now, after Luo Xiu chewed on this sentence repeatedly, he realized the true meaning.In this world, there is nothing more precious to worry about.More than ever, he hopes to get rid of all kinds of messy things as soon as possible, and live a simple and plain life.

It's just that the ideal is full, but the reality is too skinny.How is it possible, as one wishes.

After Chen Feng took the check and left, he didn't show up again, as if everything was going smoothly.However, Luo Xiu knew that this matter was not so easy to settle; before the storm came, there was always a strange calm.

Can, busy with the business of the online store.Serious and responsible as usual.He happily studied delicious desserts all day long, and polished his craftsmanship every now and then; watching Luo Xiu eat them with relish, he felt a sense of accomplishment immediately.Every day, like a happy, well-behaved kitten, dangling around him, so happy.Just in time to soothe Luo Xiu's chaotic mood.

Luo Xiu felt that at this time, he should be happy.However, he never imagined that the former innocent lover in front of him is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past.

The not-so-good news is: as Luo Xiu expected, Chen Zhirong was forced to retire early years ago, and was subject to internal investigation as a suspect in a series of cases.Although people are temporarily exempted from prison, part of their personal freedom is restricted.There is no need to mention going abroad. If you want to leave the city, you have to go to the police station to apply and report.Some travel documents, passports, etc. have also been confiscated.

For those unresolved cases, there were no new clues, and no new evidence or witnesses appeared.The investigation was far away; Chen Zhirong had no choice but to hang there, reluctantly living a retired life.However, he is still a loner, and his whereabouts are uncertain.

Luo Xiu rejoiced deep in his heart that this result was not necessarily a bad thing for Chen Zhirong.I hope it's okay to let this go.

The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the third day of May [-]th.

The God of Joy is in the southeast, the God of Nobility is in the southwest, and the God of Wealth is in the north.

On an auspicious day, everything is possible.

On that day, it took Chi Wei an hour to set a date for Fang Yixi to travel today.

Nowadays, there are two kinds of people who still respect gods and ghosts.One is for business, and the other is for society.As for Chi Wei, he was born in the underworld and an out-and-out businessman; he had both, so it made sense to go out to read the almanac.

Fang Yixi opened his mouth wide because of this, he was surprised for a long time.

Yixi's journey is to take a six-hour plane to H City, and then transfer to a four-hour train to Q City before he truly arrives home.Counting the journey back and forth from the airport to the train station in the middle, this is how one day will be spent.

Thinking of the foreseeable hardships on the road, Yixi almost didn't have the confidence to survive it.Seeing Chi Wei's reluctant eyes, busy checking luggage; Fang Yixi's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable as if something had been lost.

After changing the boarding pass, Yixi urged Chi Wei to go back.He didn't like this kind of farewell scene very much, and it added to the sadness for no reason.Helpless, Chi Wei didn't listen to him; until Yixi passed the security gate and turned around, he still saw this man standing there, looking at him...

Yixi felt that the eyes were sore and astringent, and there was a hot liquid filling the eye sockets: if he didn't try his best to restrain himself, he might pour down.

He slightly raised the corners of his lips, revealing an impeccable smile——turning his head as if nothing had happened: in an instant, he amazed the entire space... Inch by inch of light...

Chi Wei, standing there, a heart in his chest: it seemed to stop beating for an instant - ecstasy.

Fang Yixi did not arrive at the residence until nine o'clock that night.As soon as he got home, he called Chi Wei to report his safety.

From going home on the evening of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month to reunite with my parents for the New Year, to returning on the sixth day of the first lunar month; to be honest, it didn’t take long.

The difference of less than ten days, whether it is long or not, is not short.For Chi Wei, who has been with Yixi for several months, so lingering that he can hardly leave each other, it is still quite a torment.Especially in the past few days of Chinese New Year, when other people's houses hang the red lights, the old and the new are celebrated together; he stays alone in the vacant room, and can only rely on a few overseas phone calls to his daughter to talk about his loneliness.Gradually, I feel self-pitying, like a little daughter-in-law who guards the house and waits for her lover, full of grievances.

Fortunately, he is also a knowledgeable person.Thinking of the passionate moment of reunion after the farewell with Yixi; at this time, I am like an infatuated young man in love; that kind of waiting seems to be dyed with a different color; the subtle sweet and sour Lonely, the more you taste, the more you feel in your heart... With the mood of hugging the pillar, Chi Wei willingly endured the tempering of longing.

Besides, Yixi would call every night.The two of them didn't chat for a long time, just a few words, and the daily trivialities.Only Chi Wei was the one who never tires of exhorting a long story; as time went on, Yixi did not refute, and listened quietly... Then he returned the pile of worries intact.

The two of them really look like a pair of "old husbands" who have gone through many years.

On the day of the third day of junior high school, after talking with Fang Yixi on the phone, it was almost eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

Chi Wei took a shower, got into the quilt, and got ready to sleep.

At this time, the ear-piercing ringtone of the phone rang carelessly - when Chi Wei saw the caller ID, it was Li Hui.

"You kid, why don't you go to sleep in the middle of the night, what kind of harassing calls are you making?" Chi Wei answered angrily, after answering the call.

The background sound on the phone was very noisy, and the electronic music was loud enough to shake people's eardrums on this side of the microphone.

Li Hui shouted at the throat: "Hey, Boss, can't you sleep alone at home? Come out, my brother will accompany you, have a good time!"

"Are you drunk? Dare to tease me! What time is it? Hurry up and go home to sleep." Hearing that he was so excited, Chi Wei first thought of drinking too much.

"Aren't you excited, are you? Every time I ask you out for a drink, I always say this. Where did I drink too much?..." Li Hui complained, "This is only the second round, so I don't care. What about you?" It's not that you don't know my amount. Stop talking nonsense and come out quickly."

Chi Wei thought to himself: This kid is fine, Jiu Zhuang is cowardly, dare to challenge him like this?From the looks of it, I was too indulgent to him on weekdays.

"Are you finished? I don't want to chat with a drunk. Hang up if you have nothing to do. I'm going to sleep." Chi Wei, impatient, was about to hang up.

"Others, other..." Li Hui's voice was very sober, and he quickly took the conversation away, "Boss, you really don't want to ignore these brothers, do you? Today is the new opening of Qiangzi's KTV. Boss, please give Zhuang Zhuang some face! Do you really not want to give me some face?..." In the ending tone, there was a sense of aggrieved as if injured.

After hearing this, Chi Wei felt a little unbearable.

After hearing this, Chi Wei felt a little unbearable and helpless.He knew Li Hui well, he was eccentric and full of crooked ideas.If you talk about the mind, I'm afraid there must be a hundred of them, which is no exaggeration.

The Qiangzi he was talking about was also his childhood playmate and old neighbor; that's how he got along with Chi Wei vigorously.

He is nostalgic, and his biggest advantage is gratitude.Seeing my career and life prospering day by day, I am happy to see that people who have mixed with me can also live a chic and prosperous life.This is not in vain for a group of people who have worshiped and trusted him for many years.

"Is it really Qiangzi's shop that opened?" Chi Wei confirmed again worriedly.

"Really. I won't lie to you. I assure you!" On the other side of the phone, Li Hui replied simply and sincerely.

"Okay, I'll be right over."

"Then I'll send the location to your phone—he's very easy to find, it's on 'Corruption Street'..."

"Ah."

Chi Wei responded and hung up the phone.Pulling off the nightgown on her body, she smiled and shook her head.

A good night's sleep is [-]% ruined, and there's no telling when this mess will end.But when I thought that my little brother who had been with me could stand alone and start a prosperous business; I was still in such a prosperous area, and I felt a lot of relief.
