Chapter 40: The Undercurrent Surges
"Mom, I'm back..."
Looking at the familiar small building and signboard in front of him, Chi Zhou suddenly had a warm current in his heart, this is where he grew up.
"Small continent! How did you get back? Are there no classes in school today? ”
I saw a thin middle-aged woman hurriedly running out of the small building, and the moment she saw Chi Zhou, she was first happy, and then began to count down with a straight face:
"It's not a day off, but do you still have time to come back? Are you not listening to the teacher again? It's kind enough that people are willing to take you in, a lazy worm! Why are you still so willful..."
The middle-aged woman said as she tidied up his messy clothes, as if she was blaming him for being sloppy.
"Mom, business has been average lately, why don't you close the store and rest for a few days?"
Chizhou's mother, Chen Lin, is the proprietress of the Nansheng Restaurant, a small inn similar to a homestay, and also offers some Nanmen snacks and aged wine, which is very popular with foreign tourists.
"What a stupid thing to say! Isn't it almost the end of the year? There will definitely be a lot of people coming to see the exchange meeting! I thought about turning the penthouse into a special viewing arena, and the business must be very good! ”
Chen Lin smiled and stated her "business plan" to him, but she didn't notice that Chi Zhou's expression was getting more and more solemn.
“... Mom, I have 'extracurricular practical activities' to do these days, you should be careful alone. ”
As soon as she heard this, Chen Lin immediately smiled, she understood very well how difficult it was to let her lazy son go out!
"Great! I told you to go out and see the world more a long time ago, what are you doing in school! I remember when I went out this time..."
Chi Zhou listened quietly to his mother's nagging, he couldn't tell her about the "Star Calamity", because he didn't want his mother to recall what happened five years ago...
"Don't worry, I'll fix it soon, you... Wait for me. ”
Chi Zhou held her palm tightly, as if assuring her of something.
Chen Lin looked at the back of her son who was gone, and had some doubts in her heart:
"Why does Xiao Zhou seem a little strange today?"
At this moment, a bell suddenly rang at the door, and Chen Lin hurriedly greeted him, because it was the sound of a guest visiting.
"Sir, do you want to drink or eat?"
I saw a man in his thirties standing in front of the signboard of "Nansheng Restaurant", as if he was thoughtful.
"Boss, it's my first time coming to the South Gate, and I want to find a place to stay, I wonder if you have a vacant room here?"
The man's smile is generous and hearty, and it makes people feel a little close.
"Yes, yes! There are also a couple of rooms with a great view! Chen Lin replied with a smile.
"It's my first time here, boss, you can't kill me!"
"Haha, how could it be! Don't know the guest's last name? ”
"Call me... Xu Yao! ”
......
In front of the South Gate Martial Arts School, Su Jinqiu and Luo Peng were waiting for Chi Zhou to come back to join them, and the strange thing was that they still had a small tail by their side.
"Jinqiu, are you really going to take Ye Qing with you?" Luo Peng asked in a low voice.
"I've already informed your teacher, and I guess I'll get him back in a little while..."
Su Jinqiu completely ignored Ye Qing's scuffle beside him, and just grabbed the back of his neck.
"Brother Qiu! Why don't you let me go along? Ye Qing asked with a struggle.
"Do you know what we're going to do?"
"I don't know, if you tell me, you'll know!"
“... Go back with your grandfather. ”
"Brother Qiu! We've been together every time before! Why did you leave me this time? Ye Qing asked with a puzzled face.
"Because you're not qualified enough! Got it? ”
Su Jinqiu let out a low roar and instantly suppressed Ye Qing, who was struggling.
"This is a matter that only people who participate in the exchange meeting can intervene, what are you doing as a year?"
Su Jinqiu's cold and hard voice made Ye Qing feel extremely unfamiliar, and he felt that the usual humorous and casual "Brother Qiu" seemed to have suddenly changed as a person.
"Good, if it's okay, go play with Sister Xiaoyu for a while, we'll be back soon." Luo Peng touched his little head and whispered.
At this moment, Ye Liujian suddenly appeared in front of them in a flash, nodded slightly towards Su Jinqiu, and then reached out and took Ye Qing.
To his surprise, Ye Qing didn't resist this time, but just let Ye Liuji lead him, his head hung deeply, and he looked extremely depressed.
"Jinqiu, Luo Peng, be more careful, don't be reckless."
Leaving only this one sentence, Ye Liuji took Ye Qing into the school slowly.
"Jinqiu, Ye Qing is still young, so he doesn't need to be like this..."
Su Jinqiu shook his head and interrupted his words, then looked up at the sky and said in a low voice:
"Usually it's easy to talk about how I take him to mess around, but this time even I am not sure that I will survive, so why drag him into the water?"
"When did you become so pessimistic?" Luo Peng frowned and asked.
"Pessimistic? I didn't even have time to laugh out loud! When I met Xu Zhiyao, of course, you masters were in front, so I just picked up the leaks on the side. ”
After saying less than two sentences, Su Jinqiu returned to his usual gag appearance, which made Luo Peng feel a lot more relieved.
"Sorry for the delay, let's start now?"
As soon as Chi Zhou arrived, he couldn't wait to start work, and that completely different mental outlook made Su Jinqiu and the others couldn't help but be amazed, and couldn't figure out why he was so active?
"There may be some information from the law enforcement team, why don't we ask for it first?" Luo Peng first put forward his own opinion.
"I'm fine." Chi Zhou nodded in agreement.
"I also think it's good, but before I go to the law enforcement team, I want to find another person to find out some news..."Su Jinqiu said with a smile.
"Who?" The two asked in unison.
......
"Mr. Liqiu, what a rare guest! Isn't it last time..."
David raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the two faces behind Su Jinqiu, and instantly swallowed the words "Desperate Match".
"Boss, I just want to ask this time, has anything happened recently?"
"Condition? Of course not, the arena is booming and popular, and there are a few more little stars in the league..."
"What about the 'circus'?"
Su Jinqiu heard his voice, and the wind was calm on the surface, but secretly he was afraid that it was not an undercurrent.
"This... This..."
David winked at him with an embarrassed look, only to be hit mercilessly.
"Boss, these two are my seniors, if you insist on avoiding them, then I'm afraid you'll have to attract some people you don't want to meet..."
Su Jinqiu secretly revealed the "study and exploration evidence" on his waist, and David's heart trembled.
"I didn't expect Mr. Liqiu to catch the law enforcement team now, it's really not easy!"
When David first met Su Jinqiu, he was just a freshman who had just entered his second year, but in less than a month, the hidden power behind this guy was getting deeper and deeper...
