second life

Chapter 20 Purpose

Zhao Xiu hadn't been kind enough to actually fetch a basin of water to wipe Lin Yuanqi's face, he lost all the blood transfusions, so why should he serve this bastard himself?

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and sat not far from the hospital bed to puff.

At this time in his previous life, he reckoned that something had happened, so he didn't know much about Lin Yuanqi. He only later heard that this person was vicious and decisive, and he leveled Lin Yuanxiang's subordinates overnight. Cut it off, and those who are obedient will stay.

Some of Lin Yuanxiang's brothers directly led people to vote for Lin Yuanqi, and none of his friends in business reached out. The infighting in the Green Gang had been lurking for a very long time, but it only took one night for the real decisive battle.

As for Lin Yuanxiang himself who was robbed on the way to the Philippines, it goes without saying what happened.

The struggle for victory and defeat in the underworld is about power and money, and the principle of the strong preying on the weak is the same whether it is in the underworld or the white way.

Zhao Xiu leaned against the wall painted with white lime powder. It rained a few days ago, and there were still some watermarks on the wall. He shook his cigarette, and his expression was a little inexplicable, until Yao Sangeng, who had changed his clothes, stood at the door and looked at him. After winking, he got up and went out. Before turning around, he glanced at Lin Yuanqi who was lying on the simple operating table. This person was still fainted.

The two went to the outside room, but there was no sign of the fat man.

Yao San seemed to know what he was going to say, and said, "Fatty went to get some food. He was so hungry after working all night."

"I didn't doubt him." Zhao Xiu looked at him and said lightly.

Yao Sangeng opened his eyes slightly, looked at Zhao Xiu carefully, and said after a long time, "You are interesting?"

"You're not the first person to say that." Zhao Xiu extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can, then took out the cigarette case from his pocket and shook out one, "Do you want to smoke?"

"Thanks, I don't smoke."

Zhao Xiu himself lit one with a lighter, but this time he didn't put it in his mouth, he only held it with his fingertips, and the smoke slowly floated up.

"Are you a smoker at your age?" After more than ten minutes, the smell of smoke in the room has not dissipated.

"I only smoked one, the others..." He raised his hand.

"Secondhand smoke is more toxic."

"I like the smell of cigarettes." Zhao Xiu looked at the flames on the cigarette butt, bent his lips, as if thinking of something, his eyes softened for a moment, and soon turned calm again.

"You asked me to come out and want to say more than that."

Yao Sangeng looked at the drawn cloth curtain, "Why do you believe me?" Even though they had never met before this time, this person was able to get into the car without hesitation, and even allowed him to perform surgery on the person inside .

Zhao Xiu didn't look at him, he shook the soot on his fingertips, "In that case, if you don't get in the car, you will either be hacked to death or shot to death sooner or later, those desperadoes may be frightened by the momentary ferocity, but When I came back to my senses, I was able to fight better than anyone else, and the more blood they bleed, the more excited they would be. You came at that time, and you must not be harmful, so I chose to get in the car." That was the only way out at that time.

Yao Sangeng didn't speak for a long time, and then said, "Did you think so much at that time?"

"Of course not, intuition is still very useful sometimes."

Yao Sangeng fell silent, but Zhao Xiu turned his head and said, "I never believe in giving favors for no reason. You took such a big risk to save Lin Yuanqi. What you want must be greater than what you gave this time."

Yao San was startled, and gritted his teeth: "What do you know?"

"I don't know." Zhao Xiu said with a good laugh. Yao Sangeng has such a habit. He is usually smiling. Once he touches his line, he will immediately jump up and fight back. It is fierce and outrageous. Nobody beat him, it's just that this person exploded too hard.

"Although I don't know, you must have something that Lin Yuanqi needs to do. He needs to live well. At least on this point, our purpose is the same."

"Are you Lin Yuanqi's bodyguard?" Yao Sangeng doubted. Apart from his skill, this person didn't look like Lin Yuanqi's subordinates at all from his temperament to his tone of voice. At the moment of life and death, these two people were protecting and cooperating with each other. Yes, it's not like a master-slave, it's like a brother, but now his tone... Yao San is a little confused.

"My relationship with him..." Zhao Xiu narrowed his eyes, "Probably a partner?"

"Hmm." Although Yao Sangeng didn't really believe this kind of rhetoric, he didn't plan to delve into it.

Zhao Xiu could see his thoughts at a glance. Yao Sangeng always only pays attention to the things he cares about. No matter how serious the disturbance is, he can pretend that he didn't see it. Typically, he only sweeps the snow in front of the door. Being his brother is a lucky thing, but now the two of them are talking so strangely, thinking about it, I can't help but feel a little bit disappointed.

"After dawn, the fat man will drive you to the hospital. You can stay here tonight. It's only a few hours away."

"Ah."

Yao San gave him a suspicious look, "You seem to trust me?"

"Are you not satisfied with this result?" Zhao Xiu looked at the extinguished cigarette, and put it back in the case helplessly, "This afternoon, a group of people from the Xingzhu Gang stepped into Lin Yuanqi's place, but they were sold by his boss. All the people in the nest were sent to Lin Yuanqi." He smiled, "Are you trying to save them, or, are you the cause of this incident at all?"

As soon as Zhao Xiu's words came out, Yao Sangeng looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, and made Zhao Xiu laugh. He squinted his eyes, "You must want to ask me how I know again? I guess."

"Damn it." Yao Sangeng snorted, "Since you already know, tell that guy after he wakes up, tell him to return the favor account this time and let my brother go."

"Do you think Lin Yuanqi is really a person who will repay his kindness?"

"What do you mean?" Yao Sangeng turned cold, "Believe it or not, I'll kill him immediately."

"Whatever you want, I hope this person dies clean."

"You just gave him a blood transfusion."

"I do what I need to do, and I can't stop what you do."

Yao Sangeng looked at Zhao Xiu's expression, and finally realized that this person was teasing him, so he gave him a hard look, "Damn it, don't make jokes."

Zhao Xiu tilted his head, "When did I joke?" But his mood improved a lot between these words, looking at Yao Sangeng's face that was much younger than he remembered, and the thick-skinned face 20 years later. Compared with people who are like the city wall, they are immediately interested in bullying.

I knew I couldn't make it too funny, I was overjoyed, but I still maintained a faint expression on my face.

"No matter what you want, let Lin Yuanqi live well. Although he is a bastard, he will not embarrass you after receiving your kindness, but he will take care of it once, and there will be nothing more."

One yard counts for one yard. Although Yao Sangeng was asking for kindness this time, at least he really saved them. According to Lin Yuanqi's character, it would not be difficult to let his brother go. It's just that after this time, they will be cleared. up.

Yao Sangeng nodded, and after thinking it over, he said, "Why did you help me?"

Zhao Xiu stood up and was about to solve his physical problems. He couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard what he said, "Because you're interesting."

Regardless of Yao Sangeng's reaction later, he laughed and went into the toilet.

When Zhao Xiu came out of the bathroom, Yao Sangeng was already lying on the sofa and snoring, and seeing the time, he couldn't sleep for long, so Zhao Xiu simply swayed behind the curtain, intending to take a nap on the chair next to him.

As soon as he entered, he saw Lin Yuanqi frowning, sweating profusely, and his face was flushed.

He frowned and took two steps closer, touched his forehead, did he have a fever?

He wouldn't die from burning like this, would he?

Zhao Xiu turned outside and patted Yao Sangeng, "Lin Yuanqi has a fever, go and have a look."

Yao Sangeng turned over, "Just now he lost so much blood, and he cut his flesh and took the bullet. This is normal. If you are afraid that he will burn his brain, you can apply a basin of cold water to him." Buried in the pillow, ignored Zhao Xiu.

Zhao Xiu glanced at Yao Sangeng, then turned his head to look at the place where Lin Yuanqi was lying, cursed secretly, and poured a basin of water desperately.

Twist a towel and throw it on Lin Yuanqi's head, with a smirk, "Lin Yuanqi, you'd better not hang up this time, if you hang up, who will I ask to settle the debt?"

Seeing that Lin Yuanqi didn't react at all, he felt that he was so naive and ridiculous, how old people still have this kind of mentality, he snorted coldly, and changed another towel.

He kept this account for himself.

With the towel on, the heat on Lin Yuanqi's face finally subsided a little, but his brows were still frowning, and his mouth kept whispering, wondering if he was having some kind of nightmare.

Zhao Xiu moved his eyes and leaned slightly to get closer.

"mom……"

mom?What's the meaning?

"You are so close to seduce me?" Lin Yuanqi said hoarsely.

Startled, Zhao Xiu stood up abruptly, his eyebrows furrowed, and threw the towel into the water.

"Young Master Qi is burnt out, right?"

Lin Yuanqi's eyes were bloodshot, he glanced at Zhao Xiu, then saw the basin of water on the ground, with a strange expression.

"What time is it now?"

"It's almost dawn." Except for a door, this room doesn't even have windows. Zhao Xiu doesn't have the habit of wearing a watch. Fortunately, there is a small copper-colored alarm clock beside the wooden table outside.

"En." Lin Yuanqi was still very weak, he stopped talking after a few words, and closed his eyes.

Zhao Xiu thought he had fallen asleep and was about to go out, but he said that the cooking one hadn't been made for so long, so he was not at ease after all.

"Zhao Xiu." Lin Yuanqi suddenly said.

"What did you call me?" Zhao Xiu turned around and looked at the person on the bed with a cold face.

"Isn't that your real name?"

"So what? It's not your turn to be called Lin."

Lin Yuanqi didn't speak, just looked at him indifferently.

Zhao Xiu's expression was very cold, and the previous laughter disappeared in an instant.

"Lin Yuanqi, you are still you, and I am still me."
