Moon Rest Street, somewhere in an alley.
As a 14-year-old high school student, Li Jie was facing his first rebellion in his life. He did not go home during the curfew! However, at the same time, he also encountered his first real triad robbery. Facing the Red, Yellow, Green, and Purple Hair gangsters, Li Jie was a little scared. Although he was tested to have a superpower, it was only the initial awakening. Besides, he could only use his finger as a lighter.
"Money, take it out!" The purple-haired guy kicked him to the wall. Li Jie felt his stomach churning. He covered his stomach, "I only have this much …"
"No. 39 High School. That's not bad. Ask your family to secretly give you some money and then give it to us. Or else … "
"Or else what?"
At this moment, a calm voice came from the alley. It was a skinny man wearing a singlet, shorts, slippers, sunglasses, and a bandana. He seemed to be carrying a book on his back.
Everyone looked over. The leader, the purple-haired guy, smirked, "Pull him in!"
Red-haired, yellow-haired, and Green-haired rushed towards Ye Cang with steel pipes or daggers in their hands. Facing the three of them, Ye Cang sighed and accurately knocked them out with his karate chop. He then calmly walked to the stunned Purple-haired, took out his' book ', and said to Li Jie in a serious tone, "Pick one. If you win, I'll beat him up. If you don't … "
"If you don't win?"
"Both of you will fight one-on-one. I'll be the judge, "Ye Cang replied.
Li Jie's heart sank. Then, he thought of another situation, "What if it's a charity donation …"
"Just pretend I'm not here. I'll even beat you up. Sometimes, I can't even control my hands … " Ye Cang smiled. The purple-haired guy reacted. The moment he raised his hand to grab the steel pipe, Ye Cang's hand was already at his throat. Her eyes turned cold, "Can't you see that someone is playing the lottery?"
The purple-haired man didn't dare to move. Even through the sunglasses, he could feel that terrifying aura. Even the words he wanted to beg for mercy were stuck in his throat, unable to leave his mouth. It was as if he was suppressed by a substantial pressure.
Li Jie reached out his trembling hand and pulled out a ticket from the 'book'. The probability of getting a charity donation was very low. It was tens of thousands of times lower than the probability of winning a prize. In his father's words, those who could get a charity donation were those who had done bad things in their previous lives. The probability of not winning a prize was very high, but the probability of winning a hundred or fifty federal coins was also very high. He gently scratched the winning number with his hand.
The purple-haired man's heart trembled as well. The winning number was C52, and there were seven chances for this scratcher ticket. Every time Li Jie scratched a number, his heart skipped a beat, but when it wasn't, he let out a sigh of relief.
Li Jie's mood was the opposite of that of the purple-haired guy. He was filled with hope as he scratched a number. When he saw that it wasn't a number, he became even more nervous. When he reached the sixth number, he scratched out C, then 5. When the figure of a 2 appeared, the purple-haired guy's heart was in his throat. Ye Cang smiled and was about to take the lottery ticket away. However, the figure was a 3. Ye Cang sighed, "Looks like you guys are ready for a one-on-one battle …"
Li Jie was disheartened. A one-on-one … It was better than being ganged up on! Fight!! With a casual swipe of his finger, the last number was C52, 200,000 federal coins! There was even a winning sound effect. Purple Hair and Li Jie were both stunned. The two of them were already prepared. One of them was prepared to give a beating, while the other was prepared to counterattack. However, at this moment, Ye Cang put away the lottery ticket and took a deep breath. "Eula, eula, eula!!"
The shadow of his fist engulfed the purple-haired guy, leaving behind a purple pig head that had fainted. He took the lottery ticket and disappeared into the alley. Li Jie stared at the disappearing figure and the gangster on the ground. Recalling what happened just now, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Lottery hero …"
Li Jie was about to leave, but when he saw the gangster on the ground again, he squatted down and searched. Reese's watch, 100,000 federal coins in cash. Wow, this purple-haired gangster even has a limited edition Magical Girl Lil 'Cang's signature pen! That's 200,000 federal coins! And that was the price of the limited edition back then. Now, the price has increased by at least 3 times, and it's still rising. I have a Magical Girl Lil 'Cang's signature pen. I used 14 years of my lucky money, threatened my dad, and spent 2 million to get it. There are only 2000 of them in the world, and I was lucky enough to get this one. Now, the price has increased by at least 10 times! Hurriedly, he put the pen away and rushed to the alley to hail a black cab.
The driver was Zhou Yu, the one who drove the black cab as soon as he got home. Zhou Yu looked at the kid behind him through the mirror. Such a big kid, why is he still not home? Thinking of the newspaper he had been reading for the past few days, he sighed, "Hey, kid, why are you still out here at this hour?"
"It's none of your business. You're not my dad!" Li Jie said in an annoyed tone. Zhou Yu's veins were popping out, but he decided to ignore Li Jie after thinking about the customer's handbook.
Seeing that Zhou Yu was a little angry, Li Jie apologized, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about my dad. I lost my mother when I was young, and it was my dad who brought me up. He rarely cares about me, and he's always busy with work. I know it's hard for him, but he only cares about me. He promised to bring me to JJ's, the place where you can't bring food to eat, but he never did. Every time, he would go on a business trip. At home, other than the housekeeper who comes to cook on time, I'm always alone. I'm always alone!!! During Chinese New Year, he would only sleep at home for a few days, but he would never miss watching the Spring Festival Gala with me … "
As Li Jie's words got more and more out of his mouth, Zhou Yu was no longer angry. He was reminded of the time when he was young, learning music theory and military books. If it wasn't for the chaotic times, he would've liked to be a musician. Of course, he didn't hate to lead an army to war. It felt good to see people fighting in a sea of fire and blood, planning to conquer the world step by step, but … Have I ever enjoyed the kind of family love that he has? Family, nobles, and my only friend … Sigh, he passed away early and left me alone.
Zhou Yu looked at Li Jie's tears falling down. He stopped the car by the beach and took out a cigarette, "Want one?"
"I'm still underage …" Li Jie shook his head.
"Then, let's drink some wine." Let's drink some wine. "Zhou Yu took out Liu Bei's Myriad Wine Series.
“。。。。。” Li Jie took the bottle slowly and took a big gulp, "It's so strong, just like my dad's Ultimate Sweet Potato Barbecue …"
Zhou Yu, who knew the characteristics of the wine, stared at him coldly. So, you love strong alcohol the most. He then smiled, "You will grow up one day and live the same life as your father. Similarly, you will lose hope in this world one day, but … you will understand everything eventually. Of course, the process won't be perfect, and it won't be what you want. After all, life is not as smooth as it seems. Kid, as someone who has been through it all, you should be grateful that you have such a father. I have an enemy of mine, his son. I haven't seen him since he started working, but he always wrote letters to his son to teach him how to be a good person. He even set an example for his son at work. "
Zhou Yu thought of this enemy of his. One of the letters he wrote to his son was called Admonition to his son.
"So, his son didn't hate him?"
"No, he walked on the same path as him and his father …"
"What path?"
"To protect the country and die in the line of duty …" Zhou Yu said slowly.
Li Jie remained silent for a while and asked, "What's the name of your enemy?"
"Zhuge Liang …"
Li Jie was silent for a while again. Seeing that there was another taxi, he quickly hailed it and left in a flash.
Zhou Yu was stunned for a while. Soon, he received a message saying that the taxi fare had been paid and there was a message.
"Thank you, Mr. Driver. I've thought through a lot, but … don't drink too much. You'd better drink less. I won't tell anyone that you're drunk driving … "
