The appearance of Lao Du destroyed the atmosphere of the midnight snack. Although Lao Xing arrived in time to coordinate the relationship between all parties and quickly left the food stall, the appearance of Li Mubai made the atmosphere of the scene more and more strange.
Who was Li Mubai? The second son of the Zhao family.
What about Ye Shiguan? The sworn enemy of the Zhao family. Even if Li Mubai just helped Xiao Zheng and brought Lao Xing to coordinate the relationship between all parties. But from Black Bear's point of view, Li Mubai was still an enemy, a powerful and extremely smart enemy.
"It's getting late." Xiao Zheng got up with a smile. "Thank you very much for your help. I'll treat you to a drink later."
After that, he turned and left the food stall without waiting for the crowd's response.
He was a little tired. At this moment, he just wanted to go home and sleep. He no longer smiled hypocritically, and no longer hid his emotions. Perhaps only at home, in the bedroom where he only stayed for one night, could he completely relax himself?
He didn't have to sincerely thank Ye Shiguan, nor did he have to express his gratitude to Li Mubai. Because he knew that both of them were likely to be the masterminds of tonight. Otherwise, how could they appear at the same time? Otherwise, how could they help him at the same time?
Show goodwill? Or remove the suspicion?
Xiao Zheng sneered in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He just walked indifferently in the direction of his home.
He didn't need to pretend to be polite to these two people, and he didn't need to be polite to Black Bear. Black Bear didn't want to listen to his polite words either. Therefore, Xiao Zheng left very decisively and resolutely. He didn't seem to be worried that people would think that he burned the bridge after crossing the river.
Even Bai Yujiao felt that Xiao Zheng had gone a little too far. Everyone was helping him. Why did he leave so coldly and arrogantly? Wasn't he too arrogant?
She followed behind Xiao Zheng all the way, but never made a sound. It wasn't until they walked a few streets that Xiao Zheng slowly turned around and looked at Bai Yujiao with puzzlement. "Why are you still following me? Why don't you go home? "
"I don't want to go home." Bai Yujiao shook her head and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Zheng.
"Are you curious why everyone is helping me?" Xiao Zheng asked with a serious look.
Bai Yujiao gently bit her lips and nodded, "I'm indeed very curious as to why everyone is willing to help you. But I'm even more curious as to why you're acting so cold when everyone is helping you. Do you think it's natural for them to help you? "
If it weren't for the help of this group of people, perhaps Xiao Zheng would be in jail now. He might even be labeled as a murderer. In the eyes of ordinary people, whether it was the help of Old Xing, Li Mubai, or Ye Shiguan, they were all great benefactors. Why was Xiao Zheng's reaction so cold? The coldness was beyond Bai Yujiao's imagination.
In Bai Yujiao's impression, Xiao Zheng was not someone who did not know what was good for him. Furthermore, he wasn't the kind of man who would take advantage of others and take it for granted. In that case, why was that?
"If someone slaps you and gives you a candy, you'll be shocked." Will you be grateful for his reward? "Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently.
"What do you mean?" Bai Yujiao frowned.
"You don't understand?" Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette, and his eyes gradually became clear. "Guess who sent those people tonight?"
"Who?" Bai Yujiao asked curiously.
How would she know? She was not Xiao Zheng, nor was she the mastermind behind the scenes. But through the reminder of Xiao Zheng's words, she seemed to understand Xiao Zheng's subtext.
Who gave him candy?
Many people gave him candy tonight.
So, were they also the ones who slapped Xiao Zheng?
Thinking of this, Bai Yujiao's body trembled slightly, "You mean —"
"You think I should be grateful to them?" Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Isn't Ye Shiguan your best brother?" Bai Yujiao asked hesitantly.
Hearing this, a complicated look flashed in Xiao Zheng's eyes. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Maybe, he used to be."
"Why did he do this?" Bai Yujiao asked with fear.
His best brother wanted to kill him?
If that was the case, Xiao Zheng's abnormal attitude tonight was very easy to understand. If it was Bai Yujiao, she would be even more abnormal than Xiao Zheng, and even attack on the spot!
"You should ask him." Xiao Zheng looked tired and said lightly. "I'm tired. I'm going home to sleep. "
Bai Yujiao stood there in a daze, and after a long silence, she gently nodded, "Good night."
Staring at Xiao Zheng's back as he left alone, Bai Yujiao previously felt that this back was too cold, but now, she inexplicably felt sad. And a trace of pity.
Being betrayed by his best brother, perhaps not many men could bear it, right? But Xiao Zheng endured it, and maintained a smile from beginning to end.
How many people could do what Xiao Zheng did?
…
As soon as Xiao Zheng left, Hei Xiong also lost interest in staying. Especially when Li Mubai was still there. In this case, he would usually let Ye Shiguan deal with the intrigue. He knew that Ye Shiguan was better at figuring out people's minds than him. And he was only suitable to charge and break through the enemy lines.
Hei Xiong left. The surrounding group of brothers also left one after another. Only Ye Shiguan and Li Mubai were left in the originally lively food stall. It seemed to be tit-for-tat, but in fact, the undercurrent was also surging.
What undercurrent?
The undercurrent of distrust. The undercurrent of beware. And — the undercurrent of mission failure.
"Idiot." Ye Shiguan directly poured a glass of beer, spitting out two words with cold eyes.
"Idiot?" Li Mubai said indifferently. "If I don't show up, maybe I will be the only one to bear the blame of the mastermind. At least now, between you and me, he will choose one as the enemy. "
"Do you think Xiao Zheng only has this little IQ?" Ye Shiguan glanced at Li Mubai contemptuously. "If so, would Zhao Laosi have the intention to pass the position to him?"
"Then why did you show up?" Li Mubai asked. "Didn't you already break off relations with him? What identity did you show up with? "
Ye Shiguan glanced coldly at Li Mubai. "Regardless of whether the mission succeeds or not, I can't continue to hide. Whether he's alive or dead, he will know that I had a part in tonight's matter. "
"Are you crazy?" Li Mubai asked. "Why did you do that?"
"I just wanted to increase Liu Qing's chances of success. But now it seems that it was of no use. "Ye Shiguan stared coldly at Li Mubai. "But you. Aren't you afraid that Xiao Zheng will reveal what you did? "
"What am I afraid of?" Li Mubai's eyes flashed.
"I remember that Zhao Laosi explicitly forbade anyone to touch him," Ye Shiguan said indifferently.
"Who said I did it?" Li Mubai pursed his lips. "It was clearly Chen Chong who held a grudge and hired an assassin to take revenge. Even if Xiao Zheng didn't say it, I wouldn't lie to Master Si for him. "
"It seems that you aren't too stupid." Ye Shiguan slowly stood up. "Li Mubai, remember. To me, you are not irreplaceable. So don't test my patience, and don't act on your own. "
