C55 (2/2)

”Who the hell are you?” I couldn't help but to be alarmed, thinking that this person couldn't be using these things to threaten us, right?

”My name is Lao Yan. I live here.”

I said his name in my mind, but I didn't know this person. But how did he know so much about our affairs?

”Haha …” Rest assured, I won't do anything to threaten you. If I wanted to do it, I would have done it a long time ago! ” He and I looked at each other for a while and then laughed heartily.

I took a deep breath and said, ”I thank you for what you did today. I will treat you to this meal. I will discount you if you come in the future. If there is nothing else, I will be busy.”

I got up to go.

It wasn't that I didn't think he was sincere, but that he was a little sinister, as if nothing I could do could escape his eyes.

I hate that feeling.

This person also heard the meaning of 'see you out' from my mouth and nodded. He stood up and said, ”See you another day!”

After he left, Acting Hu and the rest came over to ask me what kind of background that man had, how did he know about what we had done. Li Erzi's expression was extremely ugly, he said that it wasn't strange for people to know that we had touched the Brother Long, but it would be weird if there were people who knew that we had gone to the hospital to repair their wounds.

Besides, we might have been secretly targeted by now.

I secretly nodded, and said quietly: ”This Lao Yan, just what is his background …”

For the next few days, Old Yan came to the restaurant for a meal, but he always came for a drink. When I found the time, I would chat with him for a while, but I didn't say anything else. I wanted to find out what he wanted to say, but he told me that he was a small boss.

This puzzled me even more. How did a little business owner know that we had so many things to do?

From his words, I could tell that he was previously a merchant's shop here. It was because of the frequent visits by the Brother Long that he was unable to continue working here.

He also hated the Brother Long.

”I had previously contacted a few merchants at the side and asked them to boycott the Brother Long, but in this critical moment, no one can be relied on. My store was even set on fire by them. In this world, the people's hearts are the hardest to control.

I smiled. ”I don't have much ability. I was just lucky.”

”No!” He shook his head. ”If you don't have the ability, how many people might respond to you? He might bring the Brother Long away? ”It's possible …”

He smiled and put his mouth close to mine. ”Maybe I'll make your boss like you so much?”

As his words were spoken, I faintly felt that sooner or later this Lao Yan would ask us to do something for him. The words he had said to me now were both a foreshadowing and a threat;

I was waiting, waiting for him to reveal his true purpose.

Today, I went to the school to look for Li Jiarui. Wang Xin brought me to the girls' dormitory upstairs, but I did not see any trace of Li Jiarui.

Wang Xin was also a little confused. She said that she had been at the dorm all day and hadn't even seen her leave.

I said forget it, I'd call her, then I called her.

Du du du...

The phone rang for a while before someone suddenly hung up.

I frowned and dialed again.

This time again, it was the same, as Li Jiarui pressed on it.

What the hell is she doing?
