"You have to be honest."
The team members who woke up from the shock looked at Xu Le and said earnestly.
Then, someone looked at the still confused little nurse Huang Li who was the core of the matter and asked hesitantly, "Does this count as cuckolding this young master?"
Hearing the word 'cuckolding', Xu Le had some thoughts and memories. He looked up at the sky and said softly, "Nonsense. How is this cuckolding? At most, it's a black pot."
Outside the quiet hall of Mansion No. 11, it seemed to be an open space, but in fact, the sky was not exposed. The transparent membrane above the stone ground blocked the spring rain that fell on people's hair. The rain gently spread down in an arc, giving people a dreamy feeling.
He sensed something and turned his head to look. He saw tonight's candidate for best male lead, that cold and gloomy plum blossom like the Iron Calculator Family's Seventh Young Master, walking through the main entrance of the mansion under the light of the rain.
"Welcome back to the capital ring." Li Xiaotong said with a smile and patted Xu Le's shoulder. He looked at the hall with a smile and asked, "Alright, you know that a successful person like me, who makes hundreds of Federation coins per minute, has very little time. Who is the target of the face-slapping?"
Everyone walked into the hall. Xu Le asked Huang Li to walk beside Li Xiaotong. He shook his head and said with emotion, "I hate face-slapping the most. I don't know the people at the table inside, and I don't even know what kind of people they are. The Federation's morality is really crumbling."
…
…
On this night, the spring breeze was not intoxicating, and the spring rain was soft and lingering. The people who could enter Mansion No. 11 were naturally rich and noble. Anyone who stood up from the table was probably a famous person in the capital special district.
Xu Le and the others couldn't sense the doubtful and displeased looks cast by those people. They walked directly to the table in the hall. The chaotic footsteps and the barbaric smell of sweat still seeped out from the soldiers in civilian clothes seemed to be somewhat out of place with the atmosphere of the mansion.
There were two men and a woman sitting at the table. They were wearing low-key but exquisitely made clothes. There was cold but exquisitely made food on their plates. The man and woman, who looked like siblings, had exquisite but proud and indifferent smiles on their faces. The other man with slender fingers had a dignified appearance. On his wrist, he wore an exquisitely made but low-quality branded watch.
The atmosphere of a gathering was disturbed by a group of unexpected guests, so they frowned in displeasure as they turned their heads. When the man with slender fingers saw Huang Li being pushed to the front by Xu Le and the others, a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes before he quickly calmed down. There was even a trace of a gentle smile hanging on the corner of his lips, giving off a very comfortable feeling.
"Is this Dr. Jiang Rui?"
Li Xiaotong gently held Huang Li's waist and looked at the man expressionlessly. His indifferent eyes glanced at the man's face and then moved to his slender fingers. He seemed to be very careless. His palm gently stroked the girl's waist to declare his sovereignty.
Jiang Rui, the young chief surgeon of the Department of Cardiac Surgery in the Army general hospital with the most promising prospects, looked at the scene in front of him and roughly understood what was going on. He gave an apologetic smile to his new girlfriend and her brother, whom she could not offend. He gently wiped the corner of his mouth and stood up.
He looked at Huang Li with a sigh and said earnestly, "Huang Li, we are already in the past. Why can't you let it go? It's your freedom to like me, but it's also my freedom to like whoever I like. You are still young, and you still have a long life ahead of you. Can you not spend your energy on such a boring trick? "
He looked at Li Xiaotong, reached out his hand and said gently, "Hello, I think you may be Huang Li's current boyfriend. I can probably understand why she brought you here. This is definitely not a chance encounter, but a deliberate show off. However, the problem is that we are men. There is no need to fight for personal feelings, right?"
Li Xiaotong frowned. Of course, he would not shake hands with him.
Dr. Jiang Rui was not angry. He smiled, turned to look at Huang Li, and continued to educate her in a very hidden and condescending tone. "Don't do this in the future. Do you think you can hurt my self-esteem because your current boyfriend can bring you to No. 11 Mansion? This is really childish. It will only make me feel that you are rude in front of your friends. "
…
…
From the beginning to now, it was basically Dr. Jiang Rui's performance. The girl who came from a famous family opposite the table had a faint mocking smile on her face. She did not even look at Huang Li, who was nervously twisting her fingers. They were not from the same world, so naturally, she was even stingy to show her anger.
Xu Le and the others did not speak, because they were shocked by Dr. Jiang's words. What a sincere and proud man! What a righteous and awe-inspiring man! What a righteous and awe-inspiring man!
Li Xiaotong seemed to have not expected this doctor to be such a person. His cold expression was somewhat relaxed. He looked at the other man who was still sitting in the chair and felt that he seemed to have seen him somewhere. He could not help but frown and ask, "My name is Li Xiaotong. Have I seen you somewhere before?"
With his identity as the second successor of the Li family, no matter what kind of social situation he was in, there was no need for him to introduce himself first. However, today he was invited by Xu Le to slap his face, so he had to lower his status and say his name lightly. He hoped that the rich young master would be sensible enough to retreat and not affect Xu Le's rare mood of slapping his face.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Li Xiaotong's words, the brother and sister did not respond. The man in the light cyan embroidered formal suit slightly frowned, glanced at Li Xiaotong, and said, "I don't think we have met before."
There was a moment of silence. Xu Le looked down at his shoes and said in a low voice, "There is actually someone who doesn't know you?"
"Do you think I should know who you are?" The man in the light cyan formal suit showed a mocking expression on his face and said, "I know all the people I should know, but why should I know someone I shouldn't know?"
Li Xiaotong's expression did not change, but the team members behind him gasped. Xu Le widened his small eyes and said with emotion, "We are here to slap his face. Why does it seem that we have been slapped in the face?"
Li Xiaotong looked at him with a wry smile and said, "He doesn't even know me. How do you think we can slap his face?"
Xu Le understood what he meant. It was probably the feeling of casting pearls before swine. He shook his head and said, "Today's arrangement is my fault. The level of the food chain is too far apart, so there is no deterrent effect. A lion catches a rabbit, and the rabbit eats the carrot. The rabbit is afraid of the lion, but the carrot doesn't know the lion at all. "
"That's the truth." Li Xiaotong loosened his hand from Huang Li's waist and spread his hands, saying, "You can't think that a random cat or dog can recognize me."
When they were talking, they didn't even look at Dr. Jiang Rui and the brother and sister who claimed to be from a famous family. In their eyes, these words were just a very common discussion, and they didn't care about them at all. Especially in the ears of the man in the light cyan formal suit, it was an absolute provocation and ridicule.
No. 11 Mansion was not an ordinary club, and the man in the light cyan formal suit was also a very important person. He didn't want to argue with Xu Le and the others. He waved his hand to call the manager on duty, who had been standing not far away, and said coldly, "What's going on?"
"These guests all have electronic invitations." The mansion had already checked, and the manager said awkwardly, "Young Master Chen, since they have disturbed your meal, I will inform the security department to ask them to leave as soon as you ask."
With the subtle gesture of the manager, the security guards in black formal suits in the corner of the restaurant surrounded them with white headphones.
"The place where the rich live is really interesting. Do you think you can pretend to be a member of the Special Task Force by wearing white headphones? But when it comes to violence, we are very good at this kind of thing. "
Xiong Linquan suddenly interjected, and then took off his windbreaker.
The expressions of the three people at the table, the manager of No. 11 Mansion, and the security guards changed dramatically. They were shocked to see the cold guns in the man's windbreaker, and their hands and feet suddenly froze.
The Federation strictly controlled guns, and even the most famous underworld boss Zhang Xiaohua in Nankezhou didn't dare to show so many guns in a place like the mansion. So, there was only one explanation for the scene in front of them.
The condescending look on the face of the young master surnamed Chen finally dissipated slowly. He put the napkin on the table and stared at the people in front of him. Finally, his eyes fell on Xu Le's face, and he was shocked to recognize his identity.
"Sorry for the disrespect. You are actually a hero of the Federation." Young Master Chen's lips were a little pale, but he still smiled and said, "I have heard some legends about you, but I really didn't expect to see you in such a jealous situation."
"My name is Chen Shanglin. Jiang Rui and my sister are engaged, so I can call him brother-in-law. Colonel Xu Le, I don't know what relationship you have with my brother-in-law's ex-girlfriend, but I think that even if you are a hero of the Federation, there is no reason for you to get involved in these emotional issues. "
Chen Shanglin was born in an extraordinary family, and he was a genius in the financial field. He had made a lot of achievements in the stock market when he was over 30 years old. After he set up a company, he was even described by financial magazines as a candidate for the future S1 business leader. Because of all these, he had developed a proud and unyielding personality. So, at this moment, even if he knew who was standing in front of him, he didn't have the slightest intention of backing down.
When it came to the philosophical relationship between face-slapping and face-slapping, as well as the face of the Chen family, he really couldn't back down. He didn't want to be outdone and said, "Even if you are from the army, I think you should behave yourself here. Ordinary people may not know, but you should have heard of the seven great families."
Young Master Chen stared into Xu Le's eyes and said, "No. 11 Mansion is one of the properties of one of the families. How can you be so presumptuous? Besides, you are not very lucky. That young master happened to be here today."
There was a strange silence. The members of Group 7, who had followed Xu Le into the manor of the Lin family, stared at this young master, not knowing what to say. Li Xiaotong shook his head, looked at Xu Le and said, "It seems that he is not very clear about the things you have done."
"I am not as impulsive as before," Xu Le explained seriously.
…
…
The restaurant of Mansion No. 11 was cleared out. The black-clothed security guards were holding folding taser batons and vigilantly looking at the people around the table. Not long after, the owner behind the scenes of the mansion finally appeared, and as soon as he appeared, it was two people.
When Chen Shanglin saw the two young people, the indifference and pride on his face suddenly turned into kindness and gentleness, and there was even a hint of flattery on his face. When he saw the other person, his mood became extremely relaxed. With his status, he was able to get acquainted with the owner behind the scenes of this mansion mainly because of the accidental introduction of that distant relative. Since that distant relative was also here today, there was even less to worry about.
His sister beside him looked over there and shouted with a smile, "Cousin."
Dr. Jiang Rui looked at the scene in disbelief. He had never imagined that the Chen siblings, who were extremely arrogant and bossy in front of him, would have such a side to them. He was sensitive to the fact that the owner behind Mansion No. 13 should be a big shot with a very high status. However, he didn't know the distribution of the seven legendary families, so he couldn't guess the identity of the two people, but his heart was also burning with passion.
Looking at the two people, Li Xiaotong's expression became a little strange, while Xu Le tilted his head and looked over there as if he was looking at a clown, squinting his eyes.
The Chen siblings and Dr. Jiang Rui went forward to greet them. They were about to say a few words to express their apologies for disturbing the Mansion, and then take the opportunity to get closer to the two real young masters of aristocratic families. Unexpectedly, the two young masters didn't seem to see them at all and looked over there in astonishment.
They also turned their heads and didn't know what happened there, but only saw Xu Le, Li Xiaotong, and others standing there calmly.
Chen Shanglin was puzzled and said, "Cousin, Twelfth Young Master."
"Seventh Brother, why did you come in person?" The young master on the left opened his hands with an exaggerated expression and greeted Li Xiaotong. He said loudly, "I'm so excited and uneasy that you came in person to eat in such a shabby place."
"Cousin, what did Twelfth Young Master just say?" Miss Chen asked with some confusion.
"The seventh brother of Twelfth Young Master is naturally Seventh Young Master Li." The young master who was called cousin looked over there nervously and roared in a hoarse and angry voice, "You two idiots, how did you offend them?"
Li Xiaotong? Chen Shanglin's face suddenly turned pale. Three years ago, he should have seen this legendary Seventh Young Master Li in a top nightclub with his grumpy distant cousin. But … why didn't he think of it today? Why didn't he realize it even after Li Xiaotong told him his name?
A young business leader? A genius in the financial world? Li Xiaotong was the second successor of the Li family. He didn't need to do anything at all. He only needed to look at him, and his life would be ruined completely!
"I know all the people I should know, but why should I know the people I shouldn't know?"
Suddenly, he thought of the words he had said earlier. At that time, he felt that his words were very powerful. Now, he understood what the other party meant by "Tom, Dick, and Harry". He realized that his words were just a slap to his own face. It was a very powerful slap.
…
…
Li Xiaotong didn't know that this mansion was an inconspicuous property of the Li family, and he didn't know how to answer this distant cousin's enthusiastic and exaggerated greeting. Although he had a high status in the hearts of the elders of the family, he definitely deserved this kind of enthusiasm and even flattery. However, he didn't know how to answer this question, so he just kept silent with a sullen face.
A direct descendant of one of the seven great families who had the right of succession had pretended to be the boyfriend of a commoner girl and played a childish game of face-slapping. Moreover, that commoner girl had a few dazzling freckles. Had such a thing ever happened in history?
Li Xiaotong was scared by his silence and didn't dare to ask more questions. However, he instantly found the existence of Xu Le, so he started to greet him even more enthusiastically and exaggeratedly.
For a young master who was raised by a family like the House of Profit, sometimes he would be a playboy, sometimes he would be shameless, but most of the time he would show the extreme characteristics of a successful businessman. Just look at the enthusiasm of this Twelfth Young Master towards the members of Group 7.
After a few short conversations, he knew the purpose of Li Xiaotong and Xu Le's visit to No. 11 Mansion today. Although he didn't think it was a big deal, his face darkened without hesitation. He walked to the Chen siblings and Dr. Jiang Rui and stared at them without saying a word.
Under such strong pressure, Chen Shanglin began to sweat. However, he was a successful person with shrewdness and courage. He pursed his lips, and his forehead was full of sweat, but he refused to lower his head. He said to the man beside him, "Cousin, although this is a young man's emotional problem, it is a family matter after all."
In his opinion, as long as his cousin was willing to stand up for him, then even the terrifying Iron Schemer would give him some face.
Sure enough, Li Xiaotong looked at them silently for a moment and said to Xu Le next to him, "You know that the relationship between our two families has always been very good. It is not convenient for me to do anything."
Xu Le looked down at the shoes on his feet, as if he was recalling the feeling of stepping on the beach. He suddenly raised his head, stared at the cousin who was regarded as the strongest supporter by the Chen siblings and Dr. Jiang Rui, and asked seriously,
"There was a very clear clause in the agreement between your brother and me. As long as I am still alive, you can't step into S1. I want to know, where are your feet now?"
There was silence. The Chen siblings and Dr. Jiang Rui were shocked to hear so much from this sentence, especially Childe Chen. Only now did he know that the reputation of the seven families didn't seem to be very useful in front of Xu Le. Even that colonel seemed to have done something before.
Cousin Lin Daohai took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the humiliation and anger in his heart, and said angrily, "I will go back to S3 right away, okay?"
"Of course not, I want an explanation." Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Why are you in S1? What kind of person is Lin Banshan? How can he go back on his words? If he doesn't know how to discipline his brother, I don't mind disciplining him again. "
"Are you being reasonable? You are already a colonel, are you still being reasonable? " Lin Daohai waved his arms angrily and shouted, "Don't use Lin Banshan as an example. If you really dare to do anything to me, just kill me!"
As soon as the words came out, Lin Daohai's voice suddenly stopped. The bloody and humiliating experience in the past few years made him understand that a terrifying human like Xu Le was not a target he could deal with. What was even more annoying was that this guy really dared to kill him.
Thinking of this, his momentum softened, and he explained in a low voice, "After you were taken captive to the Empire, the entire Federation thought you were dead. I thought the agreement would naturally be canceled, so I went back to S1."
"Your explanation makes sense, but now you already know that I am still alive," Xu Le reminded him.
"I will go right away, directly to S3!"
Lin Daohai gave him a hateful look, turned around, and walked out of the mansion without saying anything. He didn't say anything to Li Xiaotong, didn't say a word to anyone, and left in a very straightforward manner.
…
…
The Chen siblings had always thought that the Lin family, one of the seven great families, was their most solid support in the Federation. This feeling was probably similar to what Xu Le thought when he saw the old man in the military prison of Qingcheng.
The problem was that until the old man died, no one dared to touch him, but Xu Le had never been afraid to confront the authority of the seven great families, and in the past, he had won. Today, Lin Daohai left in a huff, which was the aftermath of his past achievements.
Chen Shanglin, who had lost all hope, glanced at Li Xiaotong, who was drinking at the bar in the distance with a pale face, and said with a nervous smile, "I think … this Miss Huang is not the girlfriend of the seventh young master Li. You all came here specifically to slap my face, but I don't understand why. I know myself, although I have some status in the industry, I am definitely not qualified to be slapped in the face like this."
"Actually, I don't understand why this happened either." Xu Le shrugged and said, "It's probably all Mr. Shi's fault."
Of course, they didn't know who Mr. Shi was, let alone know that he had anything to do with the story that happened in the rainy night. Xu Le turned to look at Miss Chen, who was in a daze, and said expressionlessly, "Cancel the engagement."
Miss Chen was shocked, but Chen Shanglin said without hesitation, "Okay."
Xu Le's voice became gentler, and he looked at Miss Chen and said, "Miss, don't be with this kind of man in the future."
"Okay." As usual, Chen Shanglin quickly agreed. Then, under Xu Le's gaze, he pulled his sister out of the restaurant. Miss Chen sadly turned around and looked at her former fiancé. She pleaded with a trembling voice, "Don't kill him."
Getting married to a prestigious family, being sponsored to become one of the best doctors in the Federation, and having a meteoric rise in the Federation, all of these had turned into bubbles in an instant. The dignified Dr. Jiang Rui's face was pale, as if he had lost his soul. He raised his head and stared at Nurse Huang Li, who had been silent all this time, and shouted in a shrill voice, "Are you satisfied now? What did I do wrong to you? How can you treat me like this? What do you want to do? "
Then he looked at Xu Le and the others and shouted angrily, "You are all real big shots. Why do you have to make things difficult for a poor doctor like me? I just want to live a better life. Is that wrong?"
"As I said, it's all Mr. Shi's fault." Xu Le paused for a moment, looked at him, and frowned. "But … it's not a glorious thing to abandon someone. And I hate men like you the most. You're wrong, but you always think you're right. What's wrong with you?"
Maybe it was because he thought of his messy love life, but his mood suddenly became very bad. He took a cigarette from Xiong Linquan and lit it.
"I'm a man. Don't you think you can force me to give up my love in this way!" Dr. Jiang Rui's eyes were bloodshot. He waved his arms and looked at Huang Li with hatred. "Even if I die, I won't marry you."
"I don't know if you're acting to prove that you're loyal to love so that we can let Huang Li marry you, so that you can get to know us and the seventh young master of the Li family."
After a long speech, Xu Le almost coughed. He casually pointed at Dr. Jiang's nose with the finger that was holding the cigarette and said, "If that's the case, your acting skills are not bad. But don't worry, even if Nurse Huang is really stupid and crazy enough to fall in love with you again, we will not allow this to happen."
He put the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep breath. He looked down at the second letter on the screen of his phone and read it calmly, "After the face-slapping of the freckled beauty's ex-boyfriend is over, he is not allowed to fall in love for five years. He is not allowed to visit prostitutes and can only use guns."
Xu Le raised his head and looked at Dr. Jiang Rui, who had a look of disbelief on his face, and explained, "As I said, everything is Mr. Shi's fault. As for these specific measures, they are all his instructions in his will. I have to practice them one by one."
Huang Li, who was behind him, burst out laughing.
"Don't try to fall in love or visit prostitutes behind our backs," Xu Le kindly reminded him, "You've seen the documentary that won the Nebula Award, right? We're a very professional team. From today on, your life will be full of eavesdropping and remote peeping. Once you violate the rules, I can't guarantee what will happen. "
"That's too much." Dr. Jiang Rui lowered his head and said in pain, "Even if I've made mistakes, you've gone too far. How can you be so unreasonable?"
"Reasonable? My teacher said that there is no such thing as reason in this universe. " Xu Le said calmly. After a slight pause, he suddenly raised his voice and sounded particularly angry.
"If it was reasonable, why would that guy lie on the car and never wake up?!"
…
…
Then, it was Huang Li's turn to speak. She sobbed to her ex-boyfriend, Dr. Jiang Rui, and said, "Although you didn't mess with me, and I don't think that a breakup means being abandoned, I can't accept the way we broke up. I can't accept the vicious words you said to get rid of me as quickly as possible. I'm not a clingy person, but since you made me unhappy, I'm going to pester you and make you unhappy too."
She raised her head and stared at her ex-boyfriend's face. Bravely, she cried, "I've been buying lunch for you for seven months, and washing your socks and underwear for six months. You owe me all that, and I want to take it back."
A series of crisp slaps sounded. Huang Li clearly slapped her ex-boyfriend six times on the left side of his face and seven times on the right side of his face. Although she didn't use much strength, she still slapped Dr. Jiang's face until it was red and swollen. It was beautiful.
Huang Li wiped away her tears with her reddened palms. She bowed deeply to Xu Le and the members of Group 7. Then, she said, "Then, I'll be leaving."
Li Xiaotong, who was drinking at the bar, saw this scene. His hand that was holding the wine glass slightly froze. Looking at this girl with freckles, he felt that she looked like a person. No, it should be said that her temperament was very similar to a person. She had a piercingly cold aura that was rarely seen in girls.
The team members applauded the girl enthusiastically. Only now did they realize that under the gentle and kind appearance of this young nurse hid such a strong heart. It was no wonder that Shi Qinghai had such a bizarre story before his death and still couldn't forget this chance encounter after his death.
"Hooligan." Xu Le smiled and said to the beautiful man in the black freezer in the carriage outside the mansion, "I've done what you asked me to do. You can close your peach blossom eyes now. Then … I should go and do the rest of our business."
…
…
(This title will take a long time. This is seven thousand words, two in one. As for the face-slapping incident, it's purely Mr Shi's hobby. It's not what some of my friends expect from the Seventh Family. Although I like to play with very crude conspiracies and coincidences, I won't use them like this every time.
I thought about it for a long time yesterday, and I felt that I really wanted to write this paragraph. The young nurse is Cinderella, and Shi Qinghai is the prince. Uh … Is Xu Le the thug? Anyway, this kind of dream is actually a very happy thing. I hope you like it.
To be honest, I just feel that this is very artistic, so I like it.
As I said before, if being a hipster is a disease, I won't treat it even if I'm beaten to death.
