Brother Chong ordered people to carry Dong-ge who couldn't stand up, but his eyes secretly glared at Xiao Zheng, a trace of viciousness flashing in his eyes. It seemed that he had forced this grudge on Xiao Zheng.
After everyone left, the grand dining hall became quiet again. Ye Shiguan's cold face also returned to normal, and he smiled at Xiao Zheng: "The people below are not sensible, they made a fool of themselves in front of you."
"Don't mention it." Xiao Zheng shook his head, and said implicitly. "If it weren't for you, no one would have been able to get back at Li Feng."
"We have been good brothers for many years, don't be so polite. Come, now you should be in the mood to drink with me, right? "Ye Shiguan smiled and raised his glass, his expression was forthright.
"Drink." Xiao Zheng raised his glass, his expression was as usual.
The three drank a few glasses of liquor, and were reminiscing the past under Ye Shiguan's guidance, when a loud call came from outside the door.
"Brother Zheng, where is my Brother Zheng!?"
Before the voice died away, they saw an extremely burly young man barge into the living room. As if he had entered a no man's land, he went on a rampage.
"What are you shouting for?" Ye Shiguan complained. "You still know to come back? Your Brother Zheng has eaten and drank to his heart's content, and is ready to go home. "
Hei Xiong fixed his eyes on Xiao Zheng and said with a face full of excitement, "Brother Zheng, I missed you to death!" After saying that, he pounced over like a ferocious tiger and hugged Xiao Zheng.
"Hey, let go, you're hurting me." Xiao Zheng grimaced, and his face unconsciously revealed a pure smile.
Hei Xiong. Good brothers who roamed Jianghu together. The most straightforward guy among the five, and also the closest and closest to Xiao Zheng. It could be said that his admiration for Xiao Zheng was even greater than that of the leader Ye Shiguan.
The two hadn't seen each other for five years, and Hei Xiong was not as reserved as Li Feng, nor as polite as Ye Shiguan. He used the most direct action to express his longing for Xiao Zheng.
The man, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, fiercely pressed down on Xiao Zheng, almost breaking Xiao Zheng's old waist.
"Hehe …" Black Bear let go of Xiao Zheng, scratched his head, and giggled. "Brother Zheng, where have you been all these years? Why didn't he contact his brothers? I almost sent out a missing person notice! "
"Are you exaggerating?" Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes at Black Bear. "Do you think you can write a missing person notice with the few words you know?"
Black Bear grinned foolishly and rubbed his hands together. "I won't. Brother Ye should know, right? I don't care, you're not allowed to run this time. Otherwise, I'll issue a kill order. Even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I'll make sure you have nowhere to hide! "
"Don't be so mushy," Xiao Zheng said with a look of disdain.
Hei Xiong laughed from the bottom of his heart and sat down next to Xiao Zheng. Disregarding Li Feng and Ye Shiguan's feelings, he raised his glass and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Zheng, let's drink, we won't go home until we're drunk!"
Xiao Zheng raised his cup, clinked it, and emptied it in a bold and unrestrained manner.
Everyone drank to their heart's content. When Hei Xiong found out that Xiao Zheng was working as a security guard in a company, he was furious. He slammed the table and stood up. "Which blind bitch made Brother Zheng a guard? Is she tired of living or is her skin itching? I'll beat her up when I get back! "
"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." Xiao Zheng glared at Hei Xiong and said snappily. "This is my first job after returning to the country. If you screw it up, I'll skin you alive."
Hei Xiong shrank his neck and said fearfully, "Brother Zheng. Don't tell me you really want to be a security guard for the rest of your life? Come here and work with us. Let's not talk about others. Looking at Pearl City, the only one who can challenge us now is that old bastard Zhao Si. The others have either joined us or been destroyed by us! You have a great future! "
"Fighting and killing is no longer suitable for me." Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and shook his head. "I just want to live a stable life. Don't try to persuade me anymore. Otherwise, I'll take a detour when I see you in the future."
Hei Xiong panicked and shouted, "Don't, Brother Zheng. I won't say anything, okay? At most, I'll only look for you to eat and drink in the future. I won't say anything more! "
"That's no problem." Xiao Zheng looked at Hei Xiong who was wearing a famous brand and gold watch and smiled. "Not bad. A typical nouveau riche outfit. In the future, the money for the drinks will be on your head. "
Hei Xiong waved his hand and said boldly, "No problem!" Then he asked Xiao Zheng with a guilty conscience. "Brother Zheng, do I look like a nouveau riche dressed like this? I think I look quite energetic. "
"It does match your style." Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded.
"That's right!" Hei Xiong giggled and opened another bottle of Maotai to compete with Xiao Zheng.
However, no one noticed that when Xiao Zheng commented that Hei Xiong dressed like a nouveau riche, Ye Shiguan's eyes flashed with an unnatural light. It was as if he was extremely sensitive to such words. It sounded very harsh.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, the four of them had a cup of tea and a few pieces of fruit in the living room. Xiao Zheng got up and said, "I should go back to work."
"Take a day off." Ye Shiguan smiled. "We haven't seen each other for so many years. We haven't talked about what you've been doing these years."
"That's right!" Hei Xiong was very enthusiastic. "Brother Zheng, which company do you work at? I'll help you take a day off! Let's continue drinking at night. "
"I've only been working for two days and I'm already taking a day off. Do you want me to be fired by the boss?" Xiao Zheng glared at Hei Xiong. He then smiled at Ye Shiguan. "I'll treat you guys to a good meal later. I really have to rush back to work today. "
Ye Shiguan looked troubled and did not force it. On the contrary, Hei Xiong kept encouraging Xiao Zheng to resign but was kicked away by Xiao Zheng.
"Don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you're tall and strong!" Xiao Zheng coldly said. "If you push me too far, I'll still beat you up!"
Hei Xiong rubbed his butt and said, "Brother Zheng, you haven't changed at all. You're still so violent."
"You haven't changed either. You're still asking for a beating!" Xiao Zheng coldly said.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Zheng got up and left. Hei Xiong and Ye Shiguan sent him off. Then, they waved goodbye.
"Brother Zheng, tell me your work address later. I'll look for you for a drink!" Hei Xiong said reluctantly.
"Alright." Xiao Zheng nodded with a smile and waved at Ye Shiguan. "I'll be leaving first."
"Be careful on the road." Ye Shiguan smiled and waved his hand.
"Okay."
Because Li Feng didn't have a car, Xiao Zheng sent him home. As the two of them drove out of the villa, Xiao Zheng rubbed his forehead and mumbled, "Hei Xiong hasn't changed at all. He's still the same when it comes to drinking."
"You too. His alcohol tolerance is still so good. If it was me, I would've been knocked out by Hei Xiong. "Li Feng lit a cigarette with a dazed expression.
With a smile, Xiao Zheng suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Do you keep in contact with Hei Xiong?"
Shaking his head, Li Feng replied, "He would occasionally call me over for a drink, but it's rare."
Nodding his head, Xiao Zheng gradually retracted the smile on his face. "Don't blame me for overthinking it. I feel that you're deliberately distancing yourself from them. "
Li Feng's action of smoking paused as he bitterly smiled. "Brother Ye is now a big shot in Pearl City, and Hei Xiong is someone that even Mister Zhao has praised. As for me, I'm just a third-rate driver with a lame leg. Without anything in common, it will only make things awkward if we're together. I know my own limits, and I've never thought of taking advantage of them. It's pretty good now. I'll occasionally run a race, and the money I get is enough for me to squander for half a year. "
Pursing his lips, Xiao Zheng replied, "In my impression, Li Feng's driving skills are top-notch, and you've never hesitated when going around corners. No matter how strong your opponent is, you're always full of confidence. You've never lost a race. But now, you seem to be able to accept your failure easily. This isn't like you. "
"Brother Zheng. You seem to have forgotten that I'm already lame. It's already God's blessing that I can still make a living in the racing world. "Li Feng's face was gloomy.
"That's just your excuse." Xiao Zheng replied seriously. "I've seen your race today. At the last corner, your opponent didn't even have a chance to overtake you. Even if your legs are crippled, he won't be able to beat you with your skills. What are you afraid of? "
Li Feng's expression was a bit stiff as he forcefully took two puffs of his cigarette, his voice hoarse. "Brother Zheng, people will change. At least ordinary people like me will change as they grow older. Yes, I raced like a madman back then, but that was because I was young, and I wasn't afraid of anything. But now I know I'm afraid. I'm afraid of death, afraid that I won't be able to live in peace. Just like you, why did you leave back then? Why aren't you willing to come back now? Can you say that you haven't changed at all? "
Xiao Zheng was stunned, and he was speechless.
"Brother Zheng, you're smarter than me. You can see through a lot of things at a glance. But I gave up a leg to understand. "Li Feng's expression was bitter. "I don't have your ability to pick up and let go. When I wanted to let go, it was already too late."
Xiao Zheng lit another cigarette and looked at Li Feng with a complicated gaze. "My current identity isn't very convenient. Help me look after Xiong Zi. This kid is stupid, I don't trust him. "
"I know." A smile appeared on Li Feng's pale face. "Xiong Zi is a good person, and he's loyal. He's been giving me money these few years. When I said no, he fell out with me. He's still the same as before. "
Xiao Zheng smiled as that unforgettable experience surfaced in his mind. But at the same time, he and Li Feng ignored a certain person who was supposed to be the most important.
Men were like this. They could clearly say it, but they didn't want to say it, and they couldn't say it. Even when the two of them chatted in private, they only vaguely mentioned a few things, and didn't say it clearly.
"Be careful of Brother Zhong. His influence in Ming Zhu was not small, even though he had pledged allegiance to Brother Ye. Although he's pledged allegiance to Brother Ye, he's not willing to be Brother Ye's dog. "Li Feng finally couldn't help but say it. "He doesn't dare to offend Brother Ye, so he'll probably vent his anger on you."
"Vent on me?" Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Is this the first day you've met me, Xiao Zheng? Although I'm no longer around, I've also left for five years. But don't mention an old hoodlum, even if Zhao Si Ye wants to find trouble with me, he'll have to think about whether or not he's tired of living in his old age. "
Hearing that, Li Feng's face showed a touch of his past glory: "Brother Zheng is mighty."
