It took me three weeks to recover from the gunshot wound, and this was on the premise that Guan seniors helped to heal the wounds and Jun Yan continued to provide tonic for my body. But I survived anyway, although several pieces of shrapnel could not be removed after the bullet shattered in my chest, and they remained in my body forever. Senior Guan said that if my qi is strong enough in the future, I may be able to use my qi to force the shrapnel out, but obviously, I can't do it now.

On the quiet alley in front of the Garden Hotel Shanghai, there are often couples passing by, as well as some foreigners who work and live in Shanghai. I was sitting in the car, and I was about to open the car door at the moment when the person next to me suddenly whispered: "Mr. Ba, the boss asked me to remind you that although your current physical condition has recovered somewhat, you must not use too much qi, let alone cause the dantian to be empty, otherwise there will be a vacancy in the breath to protect the heart and lungs, and your life will be in danger at that time." ”

I nodded, and then said, "You don't have to follow me, I should be back soon." ”

It feels amazing to open the car door and walk down this alley, because I have walked here many times in the past, and I remember ten years ago, there was a nice little bar at the end of the garden alley, where foreigners often drank and had fun, and the lively rain butterfly naturally did not let go of that place. So I used to come here a lot, sometimes to drink, and sometimes to bring her back when she was drunk. But since we separated, we haven't been here.

Sometimes I think Shanghai is really a magical place, because Shanghai is always changing, the road five years ago is not the same as five years later, five years ago it may be a field, five years later you can't even see the green belt. But there are some places that will not change, such as this garden alley, which seems to have always been like this since the Republic of China. In addition to the shops along the way, the overall pattern seems to make people walk in back to that distant time in an instant.

The small bar has been turned into a café restaurant, probably because the location is not very good, although it is an evening meal, but there are only a few people sitting in the restaurant. The café restaurant is very interesting to decorate, this kind of place usually serves coffee or afternoon tea and refreshments in the afternoon, and cooks Western food in the evening. It doesn't necessarily taste great, but it's just very quiet, and it makes people feel at peace when they sit down.

I pushed open the glass door, and the waiter hurried up.

"How many gentlemen?" The waiter asked.

"Someone." As I spoke, I looked up and saw the rain butterfly sitting in the corner seat.

The waitress walked me over, and when I sat down, she put the menu in front of me, and I waved my hand and asked, "You go ahead and get busy." ”

The waiter left willingly, there was no one around, and the surrounding seats were empty. She looked up at me, her eyes were a little flustered, and she didn't seem to dare to make eye contact with me, and whispered, "I'm sorry for that shot...... I didn't mean to, I had a gun on me at the time, just to defend myself......"

"Can you stop lying?" I directly interrupted her staccato narration, which made her panic even more, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

It is not easy to sit with a man who is trying to shoot himself, and who is trying to kill me while he is under my protection, and I am restraining the anger in my heart, if it were a man sitting in front of me, perhaps I would have grabbed the knife on the table and stabbed him.

"I want to have a meal with you, I want to say sorry for what happened, I want to explain to you......" she whispered to me, and these words eased the atmosphere a little.

"Explain? Say it, then. ”

"I'm being blackmailed, and one of my former clients is a big man in your circle, and he grabbed some of my handles and used them to blackmail me......" she whispered, looking a little flustered, but it seemed to me that it was the cowardice of her when she told the truth.

"The big names in our circle are trying to blackmail you? Who? What is your name? I asked.

"His surname is Kim, I have a picture of him here......" As she spoke, she reached for her purse, and it seemed that she hadn't found the photo for a while, so she fumbled for a while, and I turned my head to look around a little impatiently, but this look saw that something was wrong. I haven't been to this restaurant before, and I don't know if the business is good or not, but now there are only five or six tables of people sitting in the huge restaurant, and there are about fifteen people in total. But these people only had a few simple appetizers on the table. Although I don't eat Western food regularly, I do know a little. The simplest combination of Western food is an appetizer, a main course made with meat or fish, followed by dessert. But until now, these people have only appetizers on the table, and no one has eaten them when they are cold. It seemed to be talking, but I could feel that there were always one or two pairs of eyes looking at me, consciously or unconsciously. I had a feeling of being watched, and it grew stronger as I observed. There was no communication between the waiters, and they stood like wooden people. The chef, who was busy cooking in and out, walked to the door of the restaurant at this time, and was about to push the door in, when the waiter at the door hurriedly greeted him, but after saying a few words to the couple at the door, the two couples left, but when they left, their faces were full of displeasure and regret.

Why did you leave? This scene struck me as a little strange. Just as I was suspicious, I heard Yudie shouting at me, "Found it." ”

I turned around and saw her holding a photo in front of me, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a fat golden man!

"This guy isn't dead?" I let out a strange muttering in my heart.

"What did he do to you?" I asked again.

"My father owes him a lot of money, and now the IOU is in his hand, and the IOU is written on the debt of the father and the son, and with his strength, if I don't pay the money, then he will definitely keep troublesome me in the future. I was forced to do nothing, so I ...... Ba Xiaoshan, you believe me, I didn't mean to......" As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed my hand on the table, and the moment her palm touched, my whole body was like an electric shock, and she immediately retracted her hand.

"Right...... I'm sorry......" She immediately apologized when she saw my violent reaction. I pulled a cigarette out of my pocket, lit one, and asked, "Do you want one?" ”

"I've quit ......" Yudie hesitated for a moment and said, "You shouldn't smoke anymore, it's not good for your body." ”

I smiled and said, "There are a lot of things in this world that are not good for the body, but they don't kill me, and the person who persuaded me almost shot me, haha......"

"I'm sorry, but I didn't ......" Yudie was about to speak, when the waiter came over with two glasses of water, put them in front of me and Yudie, and asked with a smile: "Have you thought of something?" ”

"Not yet, I'll call you if I think about it. By the way, why didn't those two people come in to eat just now? I asked casually.

The waiter replied calmly: "They thought the price was too expensive, so they didn't come in, so call me when you think about it." ”

After the waiter left, I raised the cup on the table, and when I was about to drink, I saw that Yudie's face was obviously nervous, so I frowned and asked, "I'm just drinking a glass of water, are you nervous?" ”

"I didn't ...... No......" Yudie hurriedly shook her head and said.

"Oh......" I took a sip and put the cup back on the table, Yudie suddenly stood up and shouted: "He's already drunk, he's drunk, let me go, I've done what you said, let me go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the people on the chairs around them all stood up, and a few waiters also took off their coats and revealed the weapons stuck in their waists, this is really a game! There were more than a dozen people around me who were all acting, including the waiter, and there were more than 20 people in total, all of whom were arranged to kill me.

"Hehe......" I sneered.

"Well done!" At this time, a voice came from the back kitchen, and I turned around to see the fat golden man walking in happily, he glanced at me from a distance, and then shouted, "Didn't you expect that?" Ba Xiaoshan, this time you are going to die at my hands! ”
