I answered the phone with some surprise.

"Hello?"

"Wang Tao, you are quite persistent, is the scar from last time still painful? Hehe. ”

There was a cold laugh on the other end of the phone.

"Who are you? How will I know my name? ”

My brain was a little short-circuited, and this man's voice seemed to be heard somewhere.

"You don't need to know who I am, but please stay in China steadily, if you dare to come to New York, I will definitely make you look good."

There was a cold threat in his voice.

"You're Du Chenyu, right?"

There were no words on the other side of the phone, and I guessed that it must be him, and the person who could do such a bad thing was a noble lady's subordinates.

"It seems that the person who has been following me for the past few days should have been sent by your boss, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to die too ugly, stay in the country honestly, otherwise Madame won't be able to spare you."

After listening to Du Chenyu's words, I felt very funny, and a little angry, the noble lady told me Xinyan's address, and didn't say that I couldn't go to see her, what kind of green onion is this Du Chenyu, who is showing off his power with me here.

I grimaced my face and gritted my teeth and said, "If I want to go, you can't stop me." ”

With that, I hung up.

I lit the cigarette in my hand and looked across the street corner, where the man in black was gone.

I was furious, and thought to myself, these shitty miscellaneous pieces, doglegs, the more you try to stop me, the more I don't bow my head, this childish threat means can't scare me, let's see.

I walked aimlessly on the street, the plane trees on the side of the road were growing lush and lush, green bark, straight trunks, and bright leaves, under the sun, showing full of vitality, but the clumps of withered yellow hay under the roots of the trees slowly rotted under photosynthesis, and finally became the fertilizer of the plane trees.

I suddenly thought of Zhang Xueyao, I haven't seen her since I came back, and I didn't honor the better I was with her before when I drank at home, I don't know if that girl will hate me.

I pulled out my phone, found her number, and dialed it.

"Hey, Wang Tao."

There was a haggard in her voice.

"Where are you, if it's convenient, let's go out for a meal."

She seemed to be very busy, and she could vaguely hear someone talking.

"Not now, the company has a few big projects to be busy these days, in the evening, I'll call you."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, I looked around and looked down at my watch again, it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, I hadn't eaten since I came out of the hospital in the morning, and now my stomach was rumbling like a protest.

I went to a noodle restaurant, ordered a bowl of beef noodles, and just after two bites, my phone rang.

It was a string of local unfamiliar numbers, and I stared at the screen with a puzzled face, and just as I was about to answer, the phone hung up.

I ignored it, put my phone on the table, picked up my chopsticks, and continued to eat noodles.

The beef noodles made at this noodle restaurant are superb, with a delicious soup and a large amount of noodles, half a tea egg added to it, and coriander sprinkled around the bowl.

I was eating with relish when a text message rang on my phone.

I picked up my mobile phone to check, it was sent by the strange number just now, and the message read: At 4:30 p.m., Room 210 on the twelfth floor of the Jade Dragon Hotel, don't be late.

After reading this text message, I raised my head vigilantly and looked around, and found nothing unusual, who could make an appointment for me to talk to me in person?

I felt a little uneasy in my heart, so I found the unfamiliar number just now and dialed it directly.

"Hello, the phone you are calling is off."

What are you doing, deliberately leaving me in suspense, right?

I didn't have the heart to eat noodles anymore, so after settling the bill, I walked out of the noodle shop and called Brother Scum.

"Hey, hey, Wang Tao."

There was a big voice from the scumbag on the phone, and there was a noisy voice.

"Brother scumbag, which flea market are you in, I'm going to talk to you about something."

"Oh, okay, come on, I'm here in Hexi."

I thought to myself, Brother Scumbag really changes places with a shot, and this perseverance is not something that ordinary people can bear.

I flagged down a taxi and drove straight to the flea market in Hexi.

Brother scumbag's stall is not fixed, every time I look for him, I have to waste a lot of effort, the market is full of people, the unpleasant smell rushes to my face, choking my tears almost flowed down, there are really everything sold here, fruits, vegetables, snacks, children's clothing, elderly clothing, national costumes, and some foreign products, such as Russian beer, candy from Southeast Asian countries, instant noodles from South Korea, Hungarian handicrafts and so on.

I frowned, pushed away one person after another, looked left and right, and when I was about to reach the end of the market, I finally saw the figure of the scumbag brother, who was selling a pair of shorts to a middle-aged couple, his eyebrows were dancing, his mouth was like a river, and the spittle stars flew out.

I walked over with a smile, and Brother Scumbag glanced at me and motioned for me to sit down for a while.

He looked at the middle-aged couple and continued: "It's really not expensive, I don't believe you go to the night market or other people's houses to ask, but if there is a cheaper one than me, I will give it to you for free, and the quality of this shorts is also very good, it will not be wrinkled after washing, nor will it be deformed, how hot it is now, it is comfortable and good to wear a pair of shorts, don't talk about it, take it." ”

The middle-aged man weighed again, looked at the scumbag brother and said, "It's ten yuan cheaper." ”

After hearing this, a faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but his expression was still a look of reluctance to cut love, he sighed and said: "Hey, the purchase price is thirty, and I am selling you for thirty yuan, I really didn't earn a penny, forget it, take it for you, remember to introduce more introducers to me in the future, and you should make a friend." ”

After saying that, he handed him a plastic bag, and after the man paid the money, he left satisfied.

Brother Scumbag picked up a fan and fanned the wind, wiped the sweat on his forehead with the towel on his shoulder, took out half a box of cigarettes under the stall, took out one and threw it to me, and lit one himself.

I asked Brother Scum with curiosity on my face: "Brother Scum, how much is the purchase price of those shorts?" ”

Brother Scumbag spat out his cigarette, blinked his eyes, looked at me and said, "Why are you asking this, you're not interested." ”

After speaking, he picked up a bottle of mineral water on the ground, unscrewed the cap, and drank it gurglingly.

"I'm interested now."

I looked at the scumbag with an excited face.

"You have a fart interest, the weather in this place is sweltering, there is a rainstorm at every turn, and you have to be busy packing up your clothes, going out early and returning late every day, and you can't eat a good meal at noon, can you stick to all this?"

"Didn't you keep telling me to flip my clothes with you before, why are you still suppressing me now?"

Brother Scumbag took a puff of cigarette, squinted his eyes and said, "I just want to see if you kid has the stamina, so that you can recognize the reality." ”

I was a little angry when I heard this, stood up and said: "Brother scumbag, when I first came here, I could adhere to the high-temperature working environment in the workshop, let alone this, why don't I recognize the reality." ”

Brother Scumbag raised his head and glared at me and said, "Sit down, what are you yelling about." ”

I scratched my hair a little embarrassed, sat down to look at Brother Scum, and said softly, "Brother Scum, I have something I want to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I received an inexplicable text message, you see."

I took out my phone, opened the SMS interface, and pointed out the message and handed it to Brother Scum.

After seeing it, the scumbag brother threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it with his foot, and gritted his teeth and said, "This is the trick of that old witch, what do you think yourself?" ”

Brother Scumbag held his phone and looked at me with a serious face.

I muttered, "I, I want to go and see, I've been following me lately, and I suspect it's someone sent by the old witch." ”

"What did she send someone to follow you for? Does she know that you are going to the United States to find Xinyan? ”

Brother scumbag stared at me with wide eyes, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.

"So, if I want to figure it out, I should go there, and what's even more infuriating is that the guy named Du Chenyu has called me to threaten me, which is really infuriating."

I picked up the remaining half bottle of water and drank it all.

Brother Scumbag sat there in deep thought, and after a moment, he stood up and began to clean up the stall.

I looked at the scumbag brother in surprise and hurriedly said, "What are you doing?" ”

"What time is it?"

Brother Scumbag didn't answer his question, and continued to stuff the clothes on the stall into the bag.

I glanced down at my watch.

"It's four o'clock."

"Then why are you still stunned, help me clean up."

Brother Scumbag was a little impatient.

I asked, confused, "Do you want to come with me?" ”

"It's no wonder that you don't suffer a loss in this matter, I can see that old witch, you are not her opponent at all."

I put a stack of short sleeves in a plastic bag, looked at the scumbag and said, "What opponent is not an opponent, I am not going to fight with her." ”

After cleaning up, Brother Scumbag threw the towel on his shoulder into the bucket beside him, pursed his lips and said, "Whether it's a fight or a war of words, you are not her opponent, don't talk nonsense, where is that place." ”

I hurriedly took out my mobile phone, looked at the address again, and said to the scumbag: "This hotel is not far away." ”

Brother Scumbag picked up a sack of clothing and said, "Send the things to the storage place first." ”

After I helped Brother Scumbag move the big bags and small bags of things to a small supermarket, I walked out of the flea market, flagged down a taxi, and went straight to the Yulong Hotel.

Brother I and I came to the front desk of the hall, and saw a white and dignified beauty sitting there, she was looking down and playing with her mobile phone, after seeing me, she stood up, put on a smile on her face, looked at me and said, "Hello sir, how can I help you." ”

"I want to inquire, is there a reservation for room 210 on the twelfth floor?"

"Okay, wait a minute."

She looked up on the computer for a moment and politely said, "Someone has already booked it." ”

I asked, "Can you tell me the name of the person who made the reservation?" ”

"I'm sorry sir, this is a personal privacy, and we can't reveal it."

I was a little disappointed and said, "Oh, okay. ”

Brother scumbag patted me and said, "Go up directly, don't ask, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, what are you afraid of." ”

After speaking, I walked straight to the elevator, I hurriedly followed Brother Scum, and said timidly: "Brother Scum, why do I have a bad feeling." ”

"Shut your crow's mouth, when do you feel right?"

Brother Scumbag stood in the elevator and pressed the twelfth floor, the elevator slowly rose, but my heart went up and down.

Finding the room number of 210, I knocked on the door, and after a few moments, the door opened.

Brother Scumbag and I looked at the people in front of us, and we all froze in place.
