It was still early before the bar opened, Liu Chen parked the car under the tree on the side of the road, put down the seat, and leaned on his eyes for a while, he almost didn't sleep all night last night, and he was indeed a little tired. He has been on secret missions all year round, and has developed a habit of never sleeping to death, and letting his body rest in light sleep. It's also a way to protect yourself, as enemies can attack you while you're sleeping at any time.

After taking a break for half an hour, Liu Chen suddenly felt energetic and drove to the Starlight Bar. The bar had just opened, and there were no customers yet, but Xiao Xin and Xiao Qing were already standing on both sides of the door and began to greet them.

Liu Chen saw that the two of them were hunched over and shivering, and stepped forward and said, "Don't stand at the door on such a cold day, go into the house, there is no one in the morning anyway, there is no need to welcome guests." ”

As if they had been pardoned, the two girls jumped up with cheer, and thanked Liu Chen one by one, in their eyes, Liu Chen cared about them more than his own brother. Seeing them so happy, Liu Chen knew that he had made the right decision.

He came to Ji Linyuan's office, flipped out the bar's account book and looked at it, although the current turnover of the bar has shrunk greatly compared to the golden period of the summer, but now that the year is about to close, it stands to reason that the reduction in turnover will not be so serious, is it really because of the new bar on Zhongxing Street? Liu Chen walked to the window, pushed open the window, looked at the jungle tribe bar not far away, and thought while smoking.

At this time, the office door was pushed open, and Ji Linyuan walked in in a hurry, and she was not surprised to see Liu Chen standing by the window smoking a cigarette.

"As soon as I saw the door unlocked, I knew it was you. Ji Linyuan poured a cup of hot water from the water dispenser and came to Liu Chen, "It's a good day, I know to go to the window to smoke." ”

Liu Chen extinguished the cigarette, picked up the report in his hand and asked Ji Linyuan, "Did you find any problems?"

This is the report that Ji Linyuan sorted out last night, and of course she also found the problem.

"I analysed the financial situation for the whole year and found that our turnover has been declining since August, which is evident from our day-to-day operations, with fewer and fewer customers coming here. ”

"And August is the time when the jungle tribe bar opens, and I'm almost sure that they're playing tricks behind our sales decline, I just don't understand, why did he take the initiative to cooperate when he can slowly drag us down, I know that they are Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, but if we don't agree to cooperate, are they going to take advantage of it? Hehe, it's funny. Liu Chen's fingers tapped rhythmically on the windowsill, and analyzed it methodically to Ji Linyuan.

"Then what are we going to do?" Ji Linyuan blurted out, now she is more and more dependent on Liu Chen, and gradually loses her decisiveness in the past, although in the eyes of outsiders, Ji Linyuan is the owner of the bar, but in the eyes of the employees inside the bar, Liu Chen has more and more right to speak, or in other words, has become the actual person in charge. Ji Linyuan knows all this, but she doesn't care about other people's gossip, she has been working alone for more than ten years, and it's time to find a shoulder to rely on.

Liu Chen saw the expectation and trust in Ji Linyuan's eyes, he gently stroked Ji Linyuan's black hair, and said: "Don't worry, I will never watch your hard work for so many years go to waste, leave this matter to me, and I will meet them soon." ”

What Ji Linyuan wants is that Liu Chen cares about her, even if she loses everything one day, she is not willing to lose this relationship. For more than ten years, she has been wandering in the lights and wine, just for her future not to be attached to men, so that she ignores her own emotional problems, and now, she has decided to fight bravely for her feelings, no matter whether the opponent is Li Rongfei or anyone else.

"Let's eat together at noon. Ji Linyuan remembered that it had been a long time since she had eaten alone with Liu Chen, and she was not very busy today, so she wanted to invite him to have a meal together, and she even thought about the location, so she waited for Liu Chen to nod.

"It's really unfortunate, I made an appointment at noon today, hehe. Liu Chen promised to have dinner with Li Rongfei at noon today, so he refused Ji Linyuan's invitation, he moved away, walked over to put the report on the table, and walked out of the door. "By the way, now that the weather is so cold, don't let Xiaoxin Xiaoqing stand outside in the morning, and try to welcome guests in the house in the afternoon, be humane, ah. ”

"Oh, got it. Ji Linyuan agreed softly, her thoughts were still on Liu Chen's invitation that she had just declined, and disappointment was written all over her white face.

Liu Chen went to the fruit shop at the door to buy some fruits, some nutritious products, loaded them into the car, and then came to the municipal hospital. Dad's mental state seems to be very good, he has been chatting with his roommates in the same ward, and when he saw Liu Chen coming, he also chatted with his son. Liu Chen told his father about transferring his aunt to the hospital, so that he could save some medical expenses and take care of it, so that he didn't have to run at both ends. Liu Chen called Ouyang Zi and told her about herself, she agreed without thinking about it, which made Liu Chen very grateful, after all, the hospital beds are so tight now, if you want to add a bed, you will definitely have to trouble Ouyang Zi to use her relationship.

After a while, Ouyang Zi called and said that this matter had been done, and the two of them had been arranged in the couple's ward, and they only needed to go through the procedures for transfer to the second hospital in the city. Liu Chen didn't know how to thank her, so he could only keep this friendship firmly in his heart, and he would have the opportunity to repay it one day.

Since everything has been arranged, Liu Chen came to the Second Hospital of the city, planning to discuss this matter with his aunt, and if he agrees, he can immediately go through the transfer procedures. He hummed a little song and walked into the hospital with the fruit, there seemed to be someone chatting with her in the aunt's ward, Liu Chen poked his head curiously to take a look, this figure was so familiar, it turned out to be Li Rongfei!

Liu Chen knocked on the door and walked in: "Auntie, I'm here." Hey~ Why are you here?"

Li Rongfei, who was sitting there, saw Liu Chen coming in, and immediately stood up, took the big bag of fruit in Liu Chen's hand, and explained: "Xiaomei told me that her mother is here, and I just don't have classes, so I came over to see my aunt." ”

Liu Chen came to visit with a large bag, which made Lin Huimei even happier and couldn't close her mouth, she saw that Liu Chen and Li Rongfei seemed to be very familiar, and asked, "Xiaochen, do you know Teacher Li?"

Liu Chen sat next to Li Rongfei and said to Lin Huimei with a smile: "Auntie, I not only know her, but also boyfriend and girlfriend." ”

Lin Huimei was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted: "It turns out that Xiaomei's teacher is your girlfriend? It's really incredible, great, Xiaochen, you are really blessed, you have found such a beautiful and virtuous girlfriend as Teacher Li, if your father knows it, he will be so happy that he can't sleep, hahaha." ”

Li Rongfei was embarrassed by what they said, and shyly peeled apples on the side.

Liu Chen glanced at Li Rongfei, who was seriously peeling apples, and his heart was also full of happiness. He told Lin Huimei about the purpose of his visit, and after getting her consent, Liu Chen went to go through the transfer procedures.

Just walked out of the ward not far away, suddenly heard a sharp brake sound from the door, Liu Chen's hearing is very sensitive, listening to the sound should be three cars, judging from the sound behind, there are many people getting off the car, but Liu Chen was busy looking for a doctor, and he didn't care too much.

Liu Chen walked through the hall and saw a group of young people dressed in style and dyed with colorful non-mainstream hairstyles rushing in from the door, all of whom looked like they were only about twenty young people.

One of them, a young man with a tattoo on his forehead, walked up to Liu Chen and stopped him, then flipped through the photo from his mobile phone, compared it with the man in front of him, and said to the little brothers behind him: "Brothers, it's him!"

At the sound of an order, more than a dozen young people ran over, the same non-mainstream, the same carved tattoos, surrounded Liu Chen, seeing that they were wrapped in their hands, it should be a weapon such as an iron rod.

Liu Chen didn't panic at all, but looked at this group of excited young people with some disdain.

The young man at the head arrogantly pointed at Liu Chen's nose and asked, "You are the one who beat our eldest friend?"

Liu Chen carefully looked at this young man with anger in his eyes, he was not as tall as himself, and he was not as old as himself, Liu Chen didn't want to be entangled with such a person, and said: "There is something I have to remind you, the last person who pointed at my nose has been lying in the hospital for half a year, I am not threatening you, but reminding you not to create difficulties that you can't solve." ”

Seeing that Liu Chen did not answer his question honestly, but instead taught himself a lesson, Xiao Young took a sip, looked at the brothers who were gearing up behind him, and said contemptuously: "Hmph, are the two holes under your eyebrows used to vent your anger? You don't look at how many of us there are, you dare to be so arrogant, and live with confidence, right?"

Liu Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing, he has seen a lot of teenagers like this, the world is too big, the horizon is too small, there will always be such people. How many times have he killed a company of enemy troops alone, and he hasn't read many books, he doesn't pay attention to them at all, and there is no need to be as knowledgeable as them.

Liu Chen didn't want to talk nonsense with them, and was about to walk away, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by a few young people.

"You hit our boss's friend, and our boss asked us to give you a lesson, and you want to get out of class so soon?"

Liu Chen still had something to do, and he didn't want to make trouble in the hospital, so he held back the anger in his heart and said calmly: "Who is your boss? Who are your boss's friends? I don't know." ”

Seeing that this kid was so unrecognizable, the young man in the lead threw off his bangs, showed Liu Chen the tattoo on his forehead, and then reached out and grabbed Liu Chen's neckline, wanting to push it to scare him, who knew that he was like pushing a wall, and he couldn't push it, but he couldn't stand it, and took a few steps back, which made him lose face in front of the little brothers.

He suddenly roared and swung his fist at Liu Chen's face, seeing that Liu Chen's face was about to be hit, he kept blocking the way of the fist with his palm, only to see Liu Chen tightly grasp a heavy punch from the young man in the lead, making him unable to move. At this time, Xiao Young shouted to the brothers behind him: "Fight quickly, let's go together!"

More than a dozen pairs of fists flew towards Liu Chen like raindrops, Liu Chen was not in a hurry, controlled the leader, and quickly retreated to the side to avoid being surrounded by them, making sure that everyone was in his line of sight. Liu Chen didn't kill this group of young people, but cleanly slapped away every fist that came at him. Liu Chen's slapping force is very strong, which will not hurt the opponent, but also make the opponent lose his combat effectiveness.

Half a minute later, the dozen or so people who had just surrounded him were all clutching their aching wrists, and they didn't dare to step forward to attack again, and the leader who was controlled by Liu Chen saw that his dozen brothers were broken up like this, and once again gave orders to the brothers on the periphery: "Come up and fight! Let's go together, don't stop! Beat him!"

Several minions-like little brothers rushed up tremblingly, they were not only afraid of Liu Chen's strength, but also afraid of their boss's punishment, and hesitated, how could they have any combat effectiveness. Liu Chen didn't want to bully this group of young people, so he pushed the young man in his hand away, straightened his clothes, and was about to leave, when Li Rongfei suddenly appeared.

Seeing a group of non-mainstream bad teenagers with green dragons and white tigers on the left and white tigers wailing in front of Liu Chen, Li Rongfei suddenly understood what was going on, she walked up to Liu Chen and persuaded: "Liu Chen, you can't fight in this hospital, let them go." ”

Li Rongfei knew how capable Liu Chen was, if he broke out, everyone here would not want to leave intact, and the most important thing was that she was afraid that Liu Chen would be targeted by the police if he always fought. Liu Chen understood Li Rongfei's kindness, and said lightly: "I know, I won't embarrass them." Then he turned his head and shouted to this group of non-mainstream teenagers: "Today, for the sake of my girlfriend's face, let you go, you can go." ”

Liu Chen gave them a chance, and the young people who were hesitant hurriedly went down the steps: "Brother Long, let's go." ”

It turned out that the leader was called Brother Long, he seemed to have a more extreme personality, and he was also an arrogant person, being pardoned by a woman was humiliating to him, the anger in his heart quickly gathered, and when he was unprepared, he snatched something from another companion's hand, and the outer layer of wrapping was torn off, revealing a thick and long steel pipe, he lifted the steel pipe and scolded at Liu Chen and Li Rongfei: "Go your mother B!" Throwing the steel pipe hard at Li Rongfei.

Seeing that this steel pipe was about to hit Li Rongfei's head, at this critical moment, Liu Chen pulled Li Rongfei over, protected him behind him, did a backflip, and kicked Brother Long's wrist fiercely, and the steel pipe flew out.

This short-eyed Brother Long dared to hurt Liu Chen's most beloved woman, and this move completely angered Liu Chen! After Liu Chen stood still, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, twisting it back, and Brother Long's arm was controlled by Liu Chen, and he couldn't move with his back to him. Liu Chen kicked Brother Long's knee socket, and in an instant, Brother Long's legs were weak and he fell to the ground. He was like a prisoner about to be executed, with his back to the executioner who was about to torture him, desperate and angry. Liu Chen obviously didn't intend to let him go like this, and kicked him hard in the back, Brother Long didn't have the slightest ability to resist, and was at the mercy of Liu Chen, he fell to the ground, almost losing the strength to struggle.

Liu Chen picked up the steel pipe that had just been kicked away, walked in front of Brother Long, stepped on his hand with one foot, bent down, and raised the steel pipe in his hand, he was going to abolish Brother Long's arm! In an instant, a thin guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes pounced on him, begging Liu Chen to let them go Brother Long.

Liu Chen's eyes were full of anger and murderous aura, he looked at this thin guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead with an expressionless face, the thin guy was so frightened by his eyes that he shuddered, but he still pleaded for his eldest brother righteously: "Please let my eldest brother go, we won't dare to do it again in the future." ”

But their brother Long, who was lying on the ground, still had a stubborn expression and looked at Liu Chen with hatred. Li Rongfei also stood aside indifferently and did not stop Liu Chen's violent behavior, she also wanted Liu Chen to teach this group of vicious bad teenagers a good lesson.

Liu Chen glanced at Li Rongfei, and then said slowly: "If you don't study hard and work hard when you're young, what kind of tricky boy do you learn, it's cool to take a steel pipe tattoo and fight and kill on the street, right? How good are you? Can you cut people? Can you kill people, or can you just scare people?"

Brother Long and the thin guy, as well as the other young people, didn't dare to refute a word when they were said, Liu Chen continued: "Your name is Brother Long, right, the tattoo on the forehead is used to mark prisoners in the Song Dynasty, you still think you have a lot of personality, you are still the boss at your level, your nose is higher than the sky, you think you are amazing, now, you don't have to rely on your little brother to intercede for you, young man, keep a low profile, read more books than anything works, mixed society is not so easy to mix." Today, for the sake of this brother who sacrificed himself to intercede for you, let you go today, and if you are not convinced, you can continue. ”

Brother Long opened his eyes and looked at the sand and dust on the ground, looked at his black palm, and sighed ashamedly, although he was very unconvinced, he was completely incapable of fighting, and that feeling of despair made him accept it even if he was unconvinced.

Liu Chen felt that he had slowly given up struggling, let go of his hand, and stood up. Seeing this, the thin guy immediately kowtowed to Liu Chen and thanked him: "Thank you for sparing my eldest brother, thank you!"

In front of the public, how could Liu Chen stand being thanked so much, and hurriedly helped him up: "Little brother, don't be like this, get up quickly, take your big brother back quickly, remember, don't be a fool boy in the future, be a good man." ”

The thin guy thanked him again, and then helped Brother Long who was lying on the ground up, and a group of brothers surrounded him and escorted their Brother Long out, this scene was still a little tragic, Liu Chen walked in front of Li Rongfei and smiled at Li Rongfei.

"Do you know what you just looked like?"

"Like what?"

"Like a teacher. ”
