This was a night market stall opened by a local resident. The stall was not big, and there were only three small tables. The owner was a disabled person who sat in a wheelchair. He was responsible for cooking and barbecuing. His wife and one of his sons were responsible for greeting the customers and cleaning up the dishes.
Su Bai and Gongzi Hai walked here, and then they naturally found an empty table and sat down.
"Boss, cook a few hot dishes and get two cans of beer first." Gongzi Hai shouted to the owner. Gongzi Hai was not a person who always liked to speak with an accent. It seemed that he only showed his gay temperament to people he liked. Usually, he was not so flirtatious.
"Okay, wait a moment." The boss answered and immediately started to prepare.
Gongzi Hai took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it on the greasy plastic table.
"Since you think it's dirty, don't choose this place," said Su Bai. He knew that Gongzi Hai was a clean freak.
"Hehe, it's just a habit of the past few years. I came from an orphanage. In fact, I really don't care so much about poverty. You are different from me. You have lived a luxurious life since you were a child. If you are not used to it, we can change places."
"I am indeed different from you."
Su Bai picked up the can of beer that Gongzi Hai opened for him. When he was about to take a sip, he suddenly thought of the culture fluid in the glassware. He immediately had a feeling of nausea.
He closed his eyes, raised his head, and took a big gulp despite the nausea. The slightly cold beer flowed into his stomach, and it made Su Bai feel a little relaxed.
"What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood." Gongzi Hai grabbed a handful of melon seeds and asked. It was like a friend who had not seen each other for a long time and sat down to chat. In reality, the two of them had plotted to stab each other in the back in Qinhuangdao a few months ago. In the end, they even saw red, and it was dark red.
"I want to fight." Su Bai looked at Gongzi Hai and said very seriously, "Fight with me."
"Don't, don't, don't …" Gongzi Hai hurriedly shook his head. "I came to Shanghai this time to pick someone up. I didn't plan to fight to the death with you or get seriously injured."
"Pick someone up?" Su Bai took another big gulp of beer and shook the beer can in his right hand. "Pick up your sister?"
Gongzi Hai's sister was that person.
However, Su Bai couldn't figure out why they had to come to Shanghai to pick up people. Could it be that those people would be teleported back from Shanghai?
"Yes, I'm coming back by train." Gongzi Hai spat out a piece of melon seed shell. "You and my sister are friends. Why don't you come with me to pick her up?"
"By train?" Su Bai suddenly felt a little funny. "Why do I feel that those big shots are like educated youths returning to the city from the countryside? They even took the train back together. Are you going to make a banner saying, 'Welcome home, the good sons of the broadcasting chairman?'"
"Who knows? The last time they left, they took the train together. No, they disappeared. When they come back, they should return the same way. It's at the Shanghai High Speed Railway Station. Recently, there have been signs and clues. It's not far from the truth." Gongzi Hai smiled. "That's not bad. We can't say that when they came back, they turned into a big fireball and fell from the sky like the Terminator. By the way, did the Terminator appear like that?"
"I only remember that when the Terminator came out, he was naked."
"Ahem …" Gongzi Hai waved his hand. "Well, to tell you the truth, whether or not they can come back, how many of them can come back, whether or not they can come back in one piece, whether or not they are seriously injured, or even dying, we don't know.
Moreover, it is said that on that day, the high-level listeners dare not go near there. Only the listeners of our level dare to go near the train station to pick up the train. Even if the high-level listeners dare not get involved in cause and effect, their own power has a certain sense of the surrounding environment. This sense is not cause and effect, but it is not far from it. It is easy to be forcibly hooked onto the train and taken to that place. Therefore, they dare not do so. The broadcasting station has always wanted to pull people to that place. As for the broadcasting station's integrity, you also know that on that day, it is estimated that the high-level listeners who originally lived in Shanghai will leave the city in advance, not to mention going to the train station. "
"Hehe, are you going to the train station to pick up your sister, or are you going to grab her belongings?" Su Bai asked calmly. He could hear the hidden meaning in Gongzi Hai's words.
"My sister will understand me. If something really happens to her, and I'm still worried about her, being unreasonable and not making enough preparations to snatch the things she left behind, then my sister will really be angry."
"Hmm, so?" Su Bai shrugged. "You are not telling me this because you want to wait until the day we go to the train station to grab your sister's belongings, right?"
"If something really happened to my sister, she would have left some of her belongings in her car when she came back. In order to protect these belongings from others, she would definitely have made arrangements to make it as convenient as possible for people like us who were related to her to get them. She wouldn't let others take advantage of it.
Based on your relationship with my sister, I think it is completely reasonable for my sister to leave something for you. Even if she doesn't leave anything for you, I can get half of what I get. Besides, if we are lucky, we may even get someone else's belongings. What do you think? "
"So realistic." Su Bai took another sip of beer. "It's also disgusting."
"This is the life of a listener." Gongzi Hai said.
At this time, several dishes had been served one after another.
Su Bai picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks, separated them first, and said before picking up the dishes, "Let's see the situation first. Anyway, it is in Shanghai, and it is quite close. It would be a pity if we don't watch the fun, but I guess there will be a lot of veterans there."
"People die for wealth, and birds die for food. Everyone wants to try their luck, and everyone thinks that luck is on their side. But I will not let my sister's belongings fall into the hands of others. This is a bottom line for me, a bottom line that can't be compared to the bottom line that you trampled on me in the past."
Su Bai suddenly laughed and pointed at Young Master Hai with his chopsticks. "You keep saying it's a relic. Say, if the train arrives at the station, you rush up in a hurry and fight with the others. After going through all the hardships, you find your sister dragging her suitcase out of the train alive. Won't you feel disappointed?"
"Not really. I hope she can come back alive more than anyone else." Gongzi Hai said very seriously.
"I do believe that." Su Bai did believe it. If Lychee came back, anyone who knew about her relationship with Gongzi Hai wouldn't dare to do anything to Gongzi Hai. Whether it was in the story world or the real world, Gongzi Hai had a protective talisman. After all, Lychee was a woman who dared to erase an entire city.
In the past, Gongzi Hai had been low-key, and Lychee had protected him, so the relationship between Gongzi Hai and Lychee was unknown. But after the incident at Qinhuangdao, this identity was basically exposed.
"Then I will contact you again." Gongzi Hai got up, took out his wallet, paid the bill, and left.
Su Bai sat there for half an hour. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he got up, picked up a napkin, and wiped his mouth, then called a taxi.
"Where to?" the taxi driver asked.
"The Magic Finger Heaven." Su Bai said.
The Magic Finger Heaven wasn't very far from here. Twenty minutes later, the taxi arrived. After paying the bill, Su Bai got out of the car.
This was a leisure club that focused on massage services. Of course, this kind of club would definitely have that kind of erotic place. It all depended on whether the boss's relationship was strong enough and whether the customer's consumption card level was high enough.
When Su Bai walked in, a waiter at the door kindly led the way for Su Bai. Along the way, all the waiters and waitresses he met would bow and greet him.
A tall female supervisor in a miniskirt walked up to Su Bai. "Hello, sir. Is this your first time here? I will arrange a single room for you. "
"I am looking for Boss Jiu." Su Bai said. "Nine Heaven City."
The female supervisor smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, our boss is not here today. Since you know our boss, I can give you a 20% discount …"
"Call him out to see me. You can contact him and tell him that someone with the surname Su is looking for him."
"That will do. I will arrange a private room for you first. Then, I will call our boss."
Su Bai was led into a private room by the female supervisor. The decoration inside was very exquisite, and the dim pink light made people feel very comfortable.
"I will call the technicians in and let you choose first, okay?" The female supervisor asked as she punched in. "What would you like to drink?"
"Anything." Su Bai lay down on the massage bed. On the opposite wall was a big screen. A very charming runway show was playing. The theme was something like Victoria's Secret.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The female supervisor bowed slightly, retreated, and closed the door.
Nine Heaven City was Brother Jiu's son. After Su Bai found out about the truth of his childhood, Su Bai did not seem to be affected much. He did not give up on himself, blame the heavens and others, or drown his sorrows in alcohol. He even promised Gongzi Hai to go to the train station in a few days.
However, this did not mean that Su Bai would simply turn the page. Brother Jiu was his parents' bodyguard. After his parents had left in a car accident, not long after he had gone to the south to study and live, Brother Jiu had followed and opened a courier station. In fact, he was still secretly protecting Su Bai. Later, because he had helped Su Bai transport the bronze box, he had fainted. Now, he was still placed in a nursing home in Chengdu by Su Bai.
However, in his memory, Brother Jiu often appeared in the scenes of him interacting with his parents. At the same time, Brother Jiu would often bring his son, who was about the same age as Su Bai, to play with Su Bai.
That child was called Nine Heaven City.
After a while, the private room's door was gently pushed open, revealing a man's face. The man glanced at Su Bai on the massage bed and immediately exclaimed.
"Young Master, why didn't you tell me before coming here?"
