Ye Tian got out of the airport, did not hesitate, and took a taxi directly to the city.

When he left the base, neither the general nor Shi Yuyao told him that someone would come to pick him up, but only told him that when he arrived in Donghai City, he could contact the local police chief first and obtain the cooperation and support of the police.

He could have gone directly to Donghai Pharmaceutical Company to find Qi Qingcheng, but he didn't go right away because he was still very entangled in his heart.

As soon as he thought of the impression that Qi Qingcheng had left in his mind before, he felt palpitations.

He decided to find a place to live first, and then find a good opportunity to go to the Donghai Pharmaceutical Company and get close to Qi Chengcheng.

He let the car drive to the front of the Donghai Hotel and stopped, went in to register a room, and put his luggage first.

Seeing that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, I felt a little hungry, so I went downstairs again, ready to look for food.

There is a bar on the third floor of the hotel, which is open 24 hours a day and also serves fast food, but Ye Tian still decided to eat outside.

He remembers that seven years ago, when he left, his friend Meng Qinqin and his mother came to Donghai City to set up a stall, and they sold cold noodles in the alley called koi fish opposite the Donghai Hotel.

I wonder if it's still there?

Ye Tian thought about it, and without much hesitation, he walked directly towards the koi alley opposite.

The site of Donghai Hotel has expanded a lot, not only the newly built hotel is more than 20 floors higher than the original, but also there is an extra square outside than the original.

After walking through the square, it takes about two minutes, and then crosses a road more than ten meters wide before arriving at the koi alley.

Meng Qinqin's mother's stall is at the back end of a koi alley.

Ye Tian walked for a few more minutes before getting there.

"Hey, there used to be a lot of small stalls here, why are they all now?" Ye Tian looked there for a while, but he didn't see a stall, so he asked a small shop that also sold cold noodles.

The shopkeeper was older, and immediately replied, "You said it was four or five years ago, right?" ”

Ye Tian nodded and said, "Yes, yes, seven years ago, I had a friend's mother who also set up a stall here. ”

"Now who can set up a stall on the street, they are all in the store. If you don't find a store, you can't do it anymore, or you have to move to the suburbs. It's not going to be put here. I used to set up here too, but then I bought this shop and moved in. Who are you looking for? The owner of the shop said enthusiastically.

Ye Tian hurriedly wanted to ask Meng Qinqin's mother, but he didn't know what it was called, he just called her aunt back then, and didn't ask her name.

Ye Tian thought about it, but he had no choice but to try to ask, "Do you know that there is a mother with a son named Meng Qinqin?" In the past, it was sold here. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Tian hurriedly explained: "Oh, that's right. Meng Qinqin sounds like a girl's name, but he is actually a man. ”

"Are you looking for Meng Fatzi? That's my son-in-law, are you his friend? Come on, come on, come in and sit, I call him out. The boss greeted him more warmly.

Ye Tian was overjoyed and said, "Just tell him that my name is Ye Tian." He knew it. ”

The boss gave Ye Tian a seat, raised his head and shouted in a long voice: "Meng Fatzi roared, your friend Ye Tian looked for you to roar." ”

"Ye Tian?" A fat man immediately rushed out from behind, "Old father-in-law, you're not wrong, right?" Ye Tian was my good friend many years ago, but he has disappeared......"

"Fat Meng, I didn't expect you to be so fat." Ye Tian immediately greeted him.

"You...... Are you really Ye Tian? Meng Fatzi was stunned for a moment, and immediately pounced, hugging Ye Tian tightly and shouting, "I'm not dreaming, am I?" Not dreaming, right? ”

Ye Tian also hugged Meng Fatzi tightly and said loudly: "It's not a dream, Fatty, I'm really back." ”

"Great." Meng Fatzi was so excited that he picked up Ye Tian's whole person and spun around.

"Dead fatty, a good friend is here, hurry up and get a few delicious treats, what to hug." What are two big men hugging like this? Meng Fatzi's father-in-law couldn't stand it anymore.

Meng Fatzi and Ye Tian let go of each other and looked at each other carefully.

"Dead fatty, how did you become so fat, this must be more than two hundred pounds, right?" Ye Tian patted the fat man's shoulder hard, pinched his flesh and smiled.

Meng Qinqin touched his big head, and laughed at himself embarrassedly: "I won't tell you, it's almost two hundred and five." You've changed, you've become a different person, and if you hadn't come to me and bumped into you on the road, I wouldn't have recognized you. Come on, sit down, I'll get some dishes, and we'll have a few drinks. ”

"Fatty, don't toss. Just ask my aunt to bring me a bowl of cold noodles, and I drool when I think of the taste. Ye Tian hurriedly said.

The fat man's smiling face immediately disappeared, and he said in a low voice, "My mother has passed away." She often talked to you before she died, saying where Tianzi had gone, how could there be no news at all. Let me ask someone to find it. Unfortunately, she fell seriously ill last year......"

Ye Tian hurriedly said: "Fatty, I'm sorry, please don't be surprised." I don't know ...... aunt she"

"Dead fatty, don't you even dare to tell the truth to your friends? I'm so blind that I would marry my daughter to the name of a woman like you, a cowardly bastard like a pig. Meng Fatzi's father-in-law suddenly said coldly unhappily.

Ye Tian felt strange, looked back at the fat man's father-in-law and said, "Uncle, did something happen to the fat man's mother?" ”

"Fatty, what's wrong? Don't even good friends dare to say it? The fat father-in-law became even more angry, and raised his voice and yelled at the fat man.

When—

At this moment, a crisp iron impact suddenly sounded behind Ye Tian.

At the same time, a yin and yang strange voice came: "What if you say it? Does anyone dare to help you? Stop dreaming, hurry up and hand over the money, otherwise, you will all be angry. ”

Ye Tian turned around and saw four ruffian-looking people, surrounding the door of the store, looking at the store very arrogantly.

Each of them had something in his hand, and he wrapped it in newspaper.

There was no need to guess, Ye Tian knew that there must be weapons such as iron rods and steel knives.

Ye Tian couldn't help frowning and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Yo, do you really want to stand up for the dead fat man?" A person whose hair hung to the side and was so long that he was about to cover half of his face immediately pointed at Ye Tian with the instrument wrapped in newspaper in his hand, and threatened angrily, "Are you impatient?" ”

Ye Tian turned around and asked Meng Fatzi, "Fatty, is it a protection fee?" ”

"It's not. It's dues. The fat man said.

"What dues. It's just a separate name for protection money. These bastards! Meng Fatzi's father-in-law spat on the ground.

"Damn, you dead old man, you refuse to pay, and you dare to smack me. Today I will take your sacrificial sword first. The long-haired man standing at the front took the opportunity to make trouble, and the weapon in his hand approached Meng Qinqin's father-in-law, reaching out and grabbing his collar.
