After seeing Gao Peng and Dumb enter the hotel, Zhang Xingxing took out his phone and dialed a number.
The phone rang three times before it was picked up.
"What did he say?" A low male voice came from the other side of the phone.
"He refused," Zhang Xingxing answered helplessly. This little guy was stubborn. No matter what he said, he was indifferent.
“.....”
After a moment of silence, the voice on the other side lowered a little. "I know."
Zhang Xingxing shrugged. Why did this little guy have to be so stubborn?
He was easy to talk to, but his employer didn't seem like someone who would talk to him nicely.
But what did this have to do with him? He had already said good things.
Everyone had to walk their own path. Whether it was good or bad, they had to walk their own path.
Shaking his head, Zhang Xingxing got up and left the coffee shop. As soon as he walked out of the coffee shop, the door behind him closed with a bang.
Zhang Xingxing turned back. The cold door of the coffee shop emitted a dark luster.
There was no one on the street at the moment. The street was empty.
A gust of wind blew, blowing a few old pieces of paper on the street.
Feeling uneasy, Zhang Xingxing turned back and knocked on the door of the coffee shop. "Open the door, I left something inside."
There was no reply from the coffee shop. Only the echo of his voice could be heard on the quiet street.
Footsteps came from behind him. Two people came from the corner of the street from the east and west. They were both wearing tall hats and black windbreakers. They were holding a dog leash that was as thick as a thumb. On the other end of the leash was a giant red dog that was four meters tall and eight meters long.
Their red eyes were emotionless, cold and gloomy. Although they weren't looking at him, Zhang Xingxing felt a fatal threat.
There was a squeaking sound in his arms. Zhang Xingxing unbuttoned his underwear. A silver mouse was lying on the edge of his underwear, squeaking anxiously.
Zhang Xingxing's face darkened. He had been in danger many times, but he escaped every time thanks to this mouse that could seek luck and avoid disaster.
This time, he sensed danger.
He summoned his familiar, but he didn't receive any message.
Zhang Xingxing's face changed.
When did he lose contact with his familiar?
He gritted his teeth and looked at the dimly lit hotel building in the distance. As long as he could rush over, the other party would be wary of him in a crowded place.
At the same time, Zhang Xingxing was frantically thinking about who he had offended. It seemed that the other party was quite powerful.
Then, Zhang Xingxing realized in despair that this kind of work was the easiest way to offend people. He couldn't tell when he would offend some big shot.
There were too many people … He couldn't even guess who it was …
However, he had long expected this day to come. He sighed in his heart. After he died, the bank would give his passbook to his sister. The money in it should be enough for his sister to live a peaceful life.
Even if he was prepared to die, he still wanted to give it a try! Even ants would struggle to survive, let alone humans.
Zhang Xingxing abruptly turned around and violently pushed the iron door of the coffee shop behind him.
Bang!
The iron door was pushed open in an instant, and Zhang Xingxing staggered in.
The iron door behind him quietly closed again.
Outside the coffee shop, two people with large dogs were guarding the entrance. The two large dogs sat obediently at the entrance.
"Mr. Zhang Xingxing, right? Sorry to disturb your precious time. This is a card with five million Alliance dollars. The password is six fives. Consider it compensation for delaying your time." In the middle of the coffee shop, under the dim light, a silver-haired old man in a white suit looked at him with a smile.
"…" Zhang Xingxing felt that this scene was very familiar.
Coincidence, coincidence.
Almost all the lights in the coffee shop were turned off. There was only a warm yellow lamp on the table next to the old man.
With the help of the warm yellow lamp, Zhang Xingxing could see that the old man's body was very burly. His shoulders were very wide, and his white suit was bulging. His short white hair stood up one by one, and his eyes were very bright.
The moment he met the old man's eyes, Zhang Xingxing's heart tightened.
An inexplicable sense of guilt rose in his heart.
"Please, please go ahead." Zhang Xingxing didn't know when his voice had started to stutter. This made him a little annoyed. It wasn't that he hadn't met important people before, but what was wrong with him today?
"Mr. Zhang Xingxing, I want to know what you said to that innocent and pure child just now?" the old man asked seriously.
Why did he ask this? Zhang Xingxing was very puzzled.
"I just talked to him and wanted to persuade him to withdraw from the Strongest Youth Monster Trainer Competition," Zhang Xingxing answered carefully.
"Hmm …" the old man nodded and muttered.
"What did the child say?"
"He refused. He said he didn't want to miss the opportunity to broaden his knowledge," Zhang Xingxing answered honestly.
"Then what are you going to do next?" the old man asked calmly.
"Ah?" Zhang Xingxing quietly looked at the old man, and recalled the appearance of Gao Peng.
An unbelievable thought quietly took root in his heart.
Suddenly, he was shocked! It was as if a bolt of lightning had pierced through his soul.
At this moment, Zhang Xingxing suddenly felt that his soul was trembling.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.
What should he do next? Of course, he knew, because he was the one who planned the next step.
But now, did he dare to say it out loud?
Zhang Xingxing almost cried. The calmness he had when he was talking to Gao Peng was nowhere to be found.
"I don't want to hear lies. I believe that your sister doesn't want to hear that her brother is lying either." The old man smiled. "Otherwise, it will teach the child the wrong things."
Zhang Xingxing suddenly raised his head and stared at the old man.
"Brother." A familiar voice rang in Zhang Xingxing's ears, but at this moment, this voice made his body shiver and his bones turn cold.
He turned his head stiffly and looked at his sister, who was standing not far behind him, in disbelief.
"Xiao Xuan, why are you here?"
"Grandpa said that I could see you. You're usually too busy with work to come home … I haven't seen you in a long time …" The little girl in the red and white floral dress raised her head and stole a glance at Zhang Xingxing. "Grandpa also said that he wanted me to play a game with him so that you wouldn't notice me. If I did, he would buy me five ice creams."
The little girl raised her white and tender arm, and stretched out five fingers. Her eyes narrowed into crescents, and two beautiful dimples appeared on her cheeks, just like Zhang Xingxing's.
After saying that, she seemed to have noticed that her brother's face didn't look too good. The little girl bit her lips and lowered her head. "Brother, I'll give you all my ice creams. Don't be angry, okay? I just miss you."
