second life

Chapter 8

This kind of activity was enough to heat up the atmosphere in the arena, but Lin Ya had anticipated the situation early and hid aside, not letting those who were staring at her succeed.

The moment the lights came on, the audience screamed and clapped like thunder. Lin Yuanqi quickly let go of Zhao Xiu and blended into the crowd, as if what he had just done was just an insignificant game.

Zhao Xiu stood on the spot and watched Lin Yuanqi walk back to Lin Ya's side step by step, the corners of his mouth even curved slightly, apparently in a very happy mood.

Is he complacent?

Slowly clenched his fist, Zhao Xiu sneered, and retreated to the corner with a gloomy expression.

He leaned against the specially made concave-convex wall, exuding an aura that no strangers should enter. The women who were originally confused by his figure and the curvature of his jaw also consciously distanced themselves from him.

Zhao Xiu took a glass of wine casually and gulped it down.

The entanglement with Lin Yuanqi just now broke his cognition of that guy, besides being disgusting to death, he suddenly became suspicious, but Mei Se is the territory of the Qing Gang, so he can't attack it.

He remembered Lin Yuanqi's astonishing arm strength when he caught him. Although he didn't use all his strength, he could already see that guy's kung fu was even better than his in the small-scale fight.

Even after five years, his own martial arts will be great, it will be difficult to say whether he will win or lose with Lin Yuanqi, Zhao Xiu secretly sighed in his heart.

In his previous life, he knew too little about this aspect of Lin Yuanqi, and they used their brains rather than fists in their fights. He had never heard of Lin Yuanqi, the boss of the Green Gang, having such a skill.

Hidden really deep!

Zhao Xiu took another sip of the wine, suppressing the feeling of eating a fly.

The PUB of Meishi has always been covered by people from the Green Gang, not to mention seeking Lin Yuanqi to settle accounts, even if there is a slight change, they will definitely not be able to get out of Meishi's gate.

Zhao Xiu finished drinking a glass of wine and took another glass. The golden liquid reflected a seductive light in the transparent glass.

Shaking the cup, he calmed down the anger in his chest, quickly calmed himself down completely, and began to think about the meaning of Lin Yuanqi's actions tonight.

Zhao Xiu never believed that this man was just a whim, he just found a man in a bar and kissed him.

Why did Lin Yuanqi do this?Did he find him on purpose, or was it really just an accident?

One after another activities set off the climax of the party. Men and women huddled on the dance floor and swayed enthusiastically. There were still men and women flirting in twos and threes alone in the corner. However, Zhao Xiu was always leaning against the wall and could join the crowd at any time. Can withdraw at any time, like a cold bystander.

Only when his eyes turned to Lin Ya, it was a bit obscure and complicated. He touched his pocket to find a cigarette, but the pocket was empty. Then he remembered that he had taken a bath before Mei Se came, and the cigarette fell on the changing table. down clothes.

Cursing bad luck, he turned around with half a glass of wine in his hand, but stopped drinking from the glass.

If you drink too much, even if your mind is clear enough, your body's reaction speed will slow down.

After some scrutiny, I gained a little more understanding of the layout of the venue.

Zhao Xiu was slightly surprised.

This seemingly random party can be said to be full of precautions. In addition to the people checking at the entrances, there are people around who are constantly patrolling the venue, and there are even a few secret sentries in the venue. If something happens, they can quickly respond to the enemy.

It seems that the rumors are true, Lin Fang is very fond of his only daughter.

After Lin Fang died that year, Lin Ya never mentioned him in front of him, and every time she mentioned Lin Yuanqi and Lin Fang, she often avoided the topic or kept silent for a long time.

Lin Ya left the Green Gang after Lin Fang's death. Even if he felt guilty towards him, he shouldn't have avoided it like that. At that time, Zhao Xiu trusted Lin Ya, and he didn't want to ask her about things she didn't want to mention when she was in such pain. , who originally respected her privacy, but now feels that he has really failed his duty as a friend.

Going back to 20 years ago, he discovered that there were too many things he didn't know at that time. Now, all of them have become hidden dangers. Maybe even a little detail that he didn't pay attention to will affect everyone's future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiu's heart sank, and he tightened his grip on the cup.

While thinking, there was another commotion at the door, and the little brother holding a large bouquet of flowers was finally put into the arena after a detailed inspection. Zhao Xiu looked at him holding the bouquet of red roses, and slowly pursed his lips. , finally delivered.

This can be regarded as the fulfillment of Lin Ya's wish.

A 20th birthday, a dance with a masked stranger, and 99 red roses.

Seeing Lin Ya's uncontrollable surprise when she took the flowers, Zhao Xiu finally had some warmth in his eyes.

It turned out that her wish was so simple to come true, so Lin Ya wouldn't leave those regrets.

Zhao Xiu lifted the mask on his face, and after seeing Lin Ya's satisfaction, he finally calmed down and suppressed those ups and downs.

There's only so much you can do with her.

Right now, there are more important things for him to grasp. Only by ensuring that she does not enter the cell can Lin Ya have a stable life.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, Zhao Xiu put his hands in his pockets, and slowly revealed his charm.

Just walked out of the charming street, before he had time to look at the surrounding environment, the phone rang.

Jerry called him on the phone in a hurry, as if something terrible had happened.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Xiu stopped, and bought a pack of Double Happiness from a small shop by the side of the road.

"Ninth brother, it's too bad, you come back quickly, something happened to Xiao Wang..."

"Say things slowly, I can't solve it if you do this."

Holding the phone, Jerry swallowed hard, "Xiao Wang stole the account book from the closet, and went to the boss at the door, saying that he wanted to kill Wang Danian, he... I can't persuade him..." He was anxious Said with a tear in his voice.

Zhao Xiu took the change from the boss and stuffed it into his pocket, opened the cigarette and lit one.

"Got it, come right back."

"Ninth Brother, you must save Xiao Wang this time, otherwise he will die..."

Zhao Xiu took a puff of cigarette and said a few words to comfort him, "No, don't worry, everyone in the venue probably knows about this matter, you acted worried, but made people panic, at least you can confront Wang Danian face-to-face Before, nothing would happen to Xiao Wang, and the third master hasn't come back yet, so the bosses in the door won't do anything to him."

"I...I know...Ninth brother, I'll wait for you to come back."

Zhao Xiu hung up the phone, still holding a coin in his hand, he raised his hand and flicked it lightly, and the coin fell face up into his palm.

Zhao Xiu raised his eyebrows, which seemed to be a good sign.

There is a banquet hall on the third floor of Fulijing, which is large in size and luxuriously decorated. It is usually used to receive distinguished guests.

In the territory of the third master, there are very few people who can be regarded as the word "expensive", so this banquet hall is not used much.

A large part of it was used by them as a meeting room.

When Zhao Xiu arrived, some people were already sitting in the hall, but they all lowered their heads and dared not make a sound. Seeing him coming, they could only wink at him.

He quickly noticed that the people at the top of the two sides, who could speak well in Huchemen, also came, and Xiao Wang was standing behind them with a pale face.

Zhao Xiu silently found a lower seat and sat down.

The two account books on the table were exactly what he put into the cabinet a few days ago, but now they are lying on the conference table intact.

A lot of Fu Lijing's employees came in one after another, four mums, eight foremen, and the director of the security department, plus him and Wang Danian, almost all the people in charge of Fu Lijing's third floor have come.

Wang Danian was the last one to come in. I don't know if he ran too fast, or because he had some scruples in his heart. Dark sweat stains could be seen on the suit on his body.

After he came in, the two people sitting on the left and right with the old god resting with their eyes closed finally opened their eyes.

The originally dull atmosphere was broken by subtle changes, but it made the people in the conference room feel even more oppressed.

Only Zhao Xiu was not affected. He has experienced too many things in the past 20 years, and he is already familiar with this kind of scene. He knows that controlling the atmosphere is nothing more than rhythm.

His hands were on the table, his eyes were slightly lowered, but his face was calm.

It's not good to be too conspicuous on such an occasion, and it's not good to be too cowardly. The person that Third Master Shen likes must at least have some skills, and it's suspicious to pretend to be too much.

Wang Danian pulled his tie unnaturally, pulled out a stool and prepared to sit down.

"Are you allowed to sit?" The old man with a cigar on his left glanced at him coldly. When he was young, he was called 'Black Jiao'. Mingda did not die, leaving only a hideous and distorted scar, where no hair can grow anymore, and it looks like a black snake, so it has such a title.When he was young, Heijiao was brave and made many contributions to Huchemen. Now that he is older, he has less hostility, and when he loses his temper, he still has the demeanor of the past.

After Hei Jiao drank like this, Wang Danian could only stand by the table resentfully, and another middle-aged man spoke with a smile.

"I have a temporary meeting with you today. You may be a little surprised. The main reason is that the third master is not here. Some things can only be left to us." He stroked his beard and smiled, like a troublemaker, but there was something in his eyes Insidiously, "Da Nian, should you explain these account books to everyone?"

"What...thing?" It's not that Wang Danian has never seen the world, and after being flustered for a while, he quickly sank down, "I don't understand what Uncle Xing means."

Uncle Xing is the middle-aged man sitting at the head on the right side of the table. He is in charge of part of the account books in Huchemen. He has a smiling face and is very sinister.

"Don't understand?" Uncle Xing clicked on the account book that was stacked on the table, "Do you want me to find someone to read it out for you, or should you come and see it yourself?" The old man 'Black Jiao' next to him snorted coldly. , glanced at Wang Danian with disdain, looking at him like looking at a piece of garbage.

"Why is the account book here?" Wang Danian glanced at Zhao Xiu subconsciously, but seeing him drooping his head and saying nothing, he panicked immediately, and when he saw Xiao Wang standing behind the two of them, he immediately understood.

Pointing at Zhao Xiu, "Fucking Zhao Laojiu, you are fucking me."

The group of people who were silent at first immediately turned their attention to this side.

Zhao Xiu raised his head slowly, without looking at Wang Danian, only said to the two people in the upper ranks, "I don't know about this."

But I couldn't help cursing in my heart, idiot!
