Chapter 42: Would You Rather?

For the next three days, life seemed to return to its former calm.

And even get better.

Lin Xue quit her job at Tianshui Bar, worked as an assistant to Yin Hanruo, and lived in Zizhuyuan, which made Liu Yanbo feel a lot more relieved.

In the past, when Lin Xue rented a house outside alone, Liu Yanbo was worried about this and did a lot of things secretly.

For example, he knows exactly who lives in the Jiasheng community......

Liu Yanbo also thought about letting Lin Xue live with him at first, but he was embarrassed to open his mouth in the end, after all, the relationship between him and Yin Hanruo was too superficial, and the owner of this 'home' was not him.

After such a incident, if Yin Hanruo hadn't taken the initiative this time, of course Liu Yanbo would still not open his mouth, but he was already ready to move out and rent a house next door to Lin Xue.

Yes, Liu Yanbo is afraid, he is afraid of the revenge of the Ninth Master, Lin Xue is his only weakness now, and he cannot afford to lose.

Liu Yanbo has been in Haishi for three years, and although he usually doesn't like to gossip about some people and things in society, he still hears a lot of legendary stories about the ninth master.

Jiuye's original name was Huang Jiucheng, and he came to the sea market alone to work hard when he was a teenager.

In the eighties and nineties of the last century, when the underworld was the most rampant and heyday since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jiu Ye rose rapidly at that time with his extraordinary courage and skills, and became the hottest newcomer king in the underground world of Haishi at that time.

At the beginning of this century, anti-crime activities began in various parts of China, and many underground bigwigs who had called for wind and rain were imprisoned one after another, and the ninth master was also among them, but he was not arrested, but voluntarily surrendered, as for what the reason, the outside world has no way of knowing.

It is said that the temperament of the ninth master, who came out of prison for three years, has changed greatly, and he has lost his previous sharpness and arrogance, and has become extremely calm, or vicious.

After being released from prison, the ninth master hibernated for nearly a year, during which he rarely went out, and became extremely low-key, just when everyone thought that the former boss had disappeared from the rivers and lakes, he suddenly reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and defeated the only big man in Haishi who survived the previous sweep with lightning speed.

Since then, for a long time after that, there was only one king in the underground world of the sea market, and the authorities of the sea city seemed to have acquiesced to his existence.

After establishing his own underground royal power, the ninth master began to come to the stage, open a company, and do charity......

The society is progressing, the dark age of fighting and killing has passed, and it is no longer who fights with hard fists, who has more brothers, and Jiu Ye has also become a famous entrepreneur and philanthropist in Haishi, but everyone knows that his underground kingdom has not dispersed, and has even become stronger, He still holds the royal power of the underground world of Haishi in his hands.

There are also people who want to replace them, but in the end they all become victims of the ninth master defending the royal power.

The revenge of such a charlatan is terrifying, and there are definitely not many people who can withstand it.

Just like the current Ji Ruyan, she is an upstart in the underworld of Haishi, and she has also had infinite scenery, and even in the eyes of outsiders, she was once able to compete with the Ninth Master, but when she officially confronted the Ninth Master, she obviously fell behind, her end may be tomorrow? Maybe the day after tomorrow?

Will Jiu Ye's next target be himself?

Maybe he looked down on himself, but Liu Yanbo had to guard against it.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and he plans to talk to Ji Ruyan -

The official declaration of war three days ago didn't seem to have had much impact on Ji Ruyan, at least it didn't seem to have changed much on the surface.

Tianshui Bar is open as usual, and business is still thriving.

Liu Yanbo, as before, walked in with a lazy step after smoking a cigarette at the door of the bar.

Tonight's music was very exciting, the drinkers were all writhing in their respective positions with the music, not many people noticed Liu Yanbo's arrival, but those who noticed him were surprised.

The person who beat the Ninth Master, he is still alive?

In the hearts of many people present that night, Liu Yanbo was actually "damned", his skills were indeed terrifying, but no one thought that he had the strength to compete with the Ninth Master. After all, in this era, it's all about connections and money, and no matter how good you are as a taxi driver, can you still avoid the bullets of professional killers? Can you avoid the country's laws and regulations?

But the reality that most ordinary people don't know, or don't want to face, is-

Bullets are fast, but it is people who can shoot, laws and regulations are fair, and it is people who can establish the national system.

People, after all, are flawed.

Facing many strange eyes, Liu Yanbo silently walked to the bar and knocked on the bar.

"Brother Bo, you're here. Xiao Xu took a glass of wine in his hand and said with a smile: "Vodka without ice." ”

"You're the first person to talk to me tonight, and I'll give you a late night snack another day. Liu Yanbo took the wine with a smile, took a sip and asked, "What about your boss?"

Xiao Xu stretched out his hand and pointed: "Second floor." ”

Liu Yanbo waved his hand and walked towards the second floor.

The sober drinkers gave way one after another, and the black-clothed security guards did not dare to stop them anymore, and the third black man came down from the second floor......

Liu Yanbo still had a gentle smile on his face, and he was still wearing the more than 100 stall goods on his body.

He has not changed, what has changed is the person who once looked down on him.

In the office on the second floor, Ji Ruyan had already prepared wine and food, not to mention how enthusiastic she was, but at least she smiled very friendly, and her voice was as attractive as ever: "I haven't eaten dinner yet, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten and you don't mind, just sit down and eat some together." ”

"I've always been good at eating. Liu Yanbo sat on the sofa and took the chopsticks handed over by Ji Ruyan.

Ji Ruyan also sat on the sofa, sitting on the same one with Liu Yanbo, barely able to sit three people, half a body between the two, but occasional contact was inevitable.

"I made these things myself, you can taste them and see if they are to your taste. After Ji Ruyan helped Liu Yanbo pour a glass of red wine, she sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for him.

Liu Yanbo was not pretentious, not only ate the sweet and sour pork ribs, but also tasted several other dishes one by one.

"How's that?" Ji Ruyan asked expectantly.

Liu Yanbo stretched out his thumb and praised: "The color and flavor are complete, I didn't expect Boss Ji to have such a craft, it seems that I am very blessed tonight." ”

"Really?" Ji Ruyan was as happy as a child.

"I'm not that fond of deceiving people. Liu Yanbo continued to eat, smacking his lips and said, "If only it could be more spicy." ”

"I didn't know you were coming, it's all made to my own taste. Ji Ruyan held her chin with her hand, and the little woman's posture was revealed. "Tell me ahead of time when you come next time, and I'll make it a little spicier to your taste. ”

Liu Yanbo smiled and didn't speak, his mouth was stuffed with dishes, afraid that he would squirt out as soon as he spoke.

He has always cherished food.

Ji Ruyan didn't speak again, she just stared quietly at the fairly handsome man in front of her, and occasionally sandwiched a chopstick dish for him.

In this ordinary night, as ordinary as countless ordinary nights, in this office that is not too spacious, they sit on the same sofa casually, like an ordinary couple.

The husband returned from work with a little tiredness, and the gentle wife had already prepared the food and drink, and did not say too much, only occasionally touching a glass, and each other smiled softly.

It's warm and covetous.

There were not many meals, most of them went into Liu Yanbo's stomach, and after eating, he realized that he was a little rude like this, so he had to smile and say: "Boss Ji's craftsmanship is really good, whoever marries you as a wife in the future can be regarded as a great blessing." ”

Although the sycophants are old-fashioned and lame, they are useful, at least Ji Ruyan smiled more beautifully.

"What kind of great blessing do you want to repair? Isn't laundry and cooking a woman's job?" Ji Ruyan put the ashtray in front of Liu Yanbo and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Liu Yanbo lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Boss Ji to have such an awareness, he is really a model among strong women." ”

"I don't want to be a strong woman. Ji Ruyan suddenly stopped the movements in her hand, she looked up at Liu Yanbo, serious and gentle-

"I want to find a reliable man who will give me a solid and warm embrace, are you willing?"
