From afar, Xiaomeng's unique outfit entered the eyes of the customs guest. Her expression is always cool, and her school uniform and short black skirt are always spotless. Every time I see Xiaomeng, Guan Ke's heart will be shocked. This little fear came from nowhere, and only when he was far away from Xiaomeng could he feel that the fear no longer existed.

Guan Ke opened his white teeth and grinned at the expressionless little Meng. His smile was very forced, and it felt more like crying. The muscles in his face stiffened slightly, so he rubbed his cheeks on both sides, trying to make his smile look more genuine.

Xiao Meng's face has never changed, even if Guan Ke kneaded his cheeks into dough and rubbed them around, she probably wouldn't look at it like that.

Guan Ke smiled and began to greet him when he was far away: "Hey, Xiaomeng, long time no see." ”

Moe stood like a piece of wood, as if she didn't see him.

Guan Ke scratched his head in embarrassment, he slowly walked into the ward with a respectful attitude, and when he passed by Xiao Meng's side, he greeted him very carefully again, but Xiao Meng turned a blind eye to his behavior.

Guan Ke walked into the ward, and he didn't have to face Xiao Meng's cold face, and he was instantly relieved. When he saw Li Hong in the room, he was already sitting on a chair, so he didn't dare to go back to the bed and lie down, bowed his body slightly, and said, "Old Man Li, I didn't know that you were coming, if I knew, I would definitely be entertained with good tea and wine." The accommodation is shabby, and you are neglected. ”

Li Hong said with a smile: "Don't be so restrained with me, I'm not Xiaomeng, what's so scary!"

Since that one death, a person's courage has become very small. If it was before, Guan Ke would definitely laugh with Li Hong, but now, he is much more cautious. No matter how wise a gentleman is, he can kill more people than the fingers of two palms. An ordinary person may be able to have no scruples, that is because he lives among ordinary people, and Guan Ke is different, although he cannot be said to have entered the upper class, but he has one foot on the boundary line.

You never know what the big guys are thinking, but one thing is for sure, the big guys can crush the ant with just a finger. If you want to live a long life, you have to act cautiously under the observation of words and looks.

Li Hong looked at Guan Ke's smirk, frowned, and said, "After a lifetime moment, you seem to have become less courageous." ”

Guan Ke bent slightly, and smiled respectfully and politely: "I didn't know the height of the sky before, so I acted a little recklessly. Please forgive me for offending Boss Li and my brothers. ”

A look of disappointment appeared on Li Hong's face. Although this hint of disappointment disappeared in a flash, it was firmly engraved in the eyes and hearts of Guan Ke. Guan Ke also had a hint of sadness, but then returned to normal.

In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong protected his master, fought from the beginning to the end, and won the name of fighting and defeating the Buddha, but he lost a sense of self and self. In front of Li Hong, the Guan Ke standing was like a monkey who had successfully learned from experience, although his appearance had not changed, his mood had changed a lot. Li Hong prefers the monkey when he sets off to learn the scriptures, he is unruly, but he dares to think and do, without fear, and has lost a self to defeat the Buddha, and is no longer the Monkey King.

Li Hong has gone through most of his life, and his expression is naturally controlled. A faint smile appeared on his face again, and he said, "Looking at your appearance, it seems that the illness has improved a lot, when can you be discharged from the hospital?" The old man was not interested in the reason why Guan Ke was able to live in the world, and just gossiped and asked him when he would be discharged from the hospital.

"I don't want to stay in this place, but the doctors won't let me go." They said that there was a high chance that I would have a recurrence of my old illness, so I was not allowed to be discharged early. ”

"How do I pay for the medical bills?"

Guan Ke scratched his forehead again and said, "I haven't paid for this." They said that if there is anything you want to eat and play, just look for Xiaoli, she will arrange it properly. ”

Xiaoli, who had been staying quietly in the room, suddenly held her mouth and snorted aggrievedly, just like a child who was robbed of his most beloved toy by another strong child.

At this time, Guan Ke realized that there were other people in the house besides Li Hong. He bared his teeth at Xiaoli and said with a smile, "I'm back so soon, did you bring the ice cream?"

Xiaoli angrily stuffed the ice cream that was about to melt into the arms of the passer. A drop of liquid stained the chest of the passer, as if he had knocked over a picture box of all kinds. Xiaoli stomped her feet, pursed her mouth, and trotted out with her head held high.

Guan Ke also smeared some ice cream on his hands, he licked it, it was rich and sweet, it still tasted good, and he couldn't help nodding his head again and again. Guan Ke raised his head, only to realize that Li Hong was quietly observing him, so he smiled apologetically at the forgetfulness just now.

Li Hong waved his hand indifferently.

After getting Li Hong's response, Guan Ke didn't rush to the bathroom to sort out his clothes first, but ran out after Xiaoli and shouted behind her: "Xiaoli, don't forget to bring two servings of abalone soup back when you come back." ”

Xiaoli's body running forward suddenly stiffened, and then ran out of the hospital crying aggrievedly.

Seeing that the little nurse heard what he said, Guan Ke did not continue to chase, but ran to the bathroom and sorted out his clothes.

A quarter of an hour later, the damp Kat returned to the room.

Li Hong saw that he was still a little restrained, so he stretched out his hand, pointed to the chair next to him, and motioned for him to sit down and speak.

Guan Ke obediently pulled over the chair and sat opposite Li Hong.

Li Hong said to Xiao Meng, who was motionless at the door: "Xiao Meng, you can come in too." ”

Xiao Meng didn't speak, and stepped on the floor rhythmically with her high heels. Her eyes, of all shades, were always looking straight ahead.

Li Hong leaned forward and got closer to Guan Ke. "Do you know what my greatest wish in life is?"

Guan Ke nodded honestly and said, "Your wish is to live an idyllic life, carefree and free. ”

Li Hong smiled and said, "That's right, this is something that my people already know. Actually, they only guessed half of it. When I was younger, my dream was to build an unrivaled business empire that would cover all aspects of people's lives, such as medical care, accommodation, entertainment, etc., all of which would be branded by me. After most of my life's hard work, I have only succeeded in a small half, and I can only become the overlord of Pingle City, and I cannot develop to the whole world. As people get older, it becomes easier and easier to recall the past, and the ambitions of youth will be worn out little by little. As time passed, I came to understand that my youthful ambition was not complete, and I thought of retreating. ”

Guan Ke was stunned and asked, "If you have been occupying the top spot, who would dare to find your fault?" ”

Li Hong smiled and sighed: "Where there are people, there are disputes, and the greater the interests, the greater the disputes." Although in my eyes, such a large area as Pingle City is not a big benefit, but in the eyes of others, it is different. I was standing tall on it, but I couldn't see it under the chair, in the dark. In order to gain a foot of land, they fought openly and secretly, and they had an endless posture. I can hold it down for a while, but I can't hold it down for a lifetime. When the time comes, my Honggang will fall apart, and the first unlucky person will be me, an old man who is about to enter the ground. ”

Guan Ke's face was hard to look at. If it's so dangerous, you're still putting me on the top spot?

Li Hong looked at Guan Ke's expression, knew what he was thinking, and said: "You must be thinking, even I, an old man, am afraid, why do I still push you up? Actually, you don't have to worry, at the beginning, after I expected such a result, I looked for strange people everywhere. Maybe ordinary people don't know that there are people who are beyond the laws of nature in this world, but you must know about the Bolt company. This company produces the most famous robots, which can be found almost all over the world. Right here in Pingle City, 80 percent of the robots come from there. Production robots are just appearances, and there are many people with special abilities in the Bolt company. ”

There was a look of disbelief on the passer's face.

Li Hong continued: "At first, I didn't believe it either, but when I saw the bodyguards around several big people, I realized that the rumors on the streets and alleys are not all empty words. At a party, right in front of me, a bodyguard blocked the person he was trying to protect, and forcibly took a bullet from the darkness. The bullet, which entered the bodyguard's head, left a deep hole. Like everyone else present, I thought that this bodyguard was dead, but at this time, the hole in the bodyguard's forehead gradually became lighter, and finally turned into a circle of dark spots, and finally returned to the dark yellow of the skin. A bullet squeezed out of the hole in his forehead and fell to the ground. At that time, the hall was very quiet, and people looked at the bodyguard in surprise. The bodyguard waved his hand at where the bullets were coming and left with the insured. Later, after careful inquiry, I figured out that the bodyguard who could not be killed by bullets was a member of the committee of the Falling Bolt Company, and the bodyguard himself was also a member of the Falling Bolt Company. When I saw that, I was deeply touched and didn't feel sorry for my own safety. I left all my chores behind and traveled all over the country in search of all sorts of places where there might be strange people, just to find myself a bodyguard who was different from the ordinary. I flew from Tiannan to Haibei, and then from Haibei to Tiannan, looking round and round, but I never met anyone with special abilities. Just when I was about to return disappointed, Xiaomeng appeared in front of me"
