Chapter 67: The One Who Pays the Highest Gets It
The snack street in front of the dormitory area of the old steel mill was crowded with people, bustling and noisy. Many seats have been added to the food stalls of each house, and the aroma of various delicacies wafts from the simple folding tables.
The cool breeze of the night blows away the heat and brings a sense of comfort. This coziness runs through the entire snack street, whether it is the busy stall owners or the diners who are dazzled by the stalls, they all have a relaxed smile on their faces.
"A few days ago, I heard that a large number of real estate companies did not let these food stalls be placed here for the sake of the business of Shiyue Plaza. But when I look at it again today, there is no sign of this snack street being driven away, but it is more lively than before......"
A few well-fed young people walked out of the snack street patting their bellies, and one of the people walking in front staggered, obviously drinking a lot.
He tilted his head sideways and talked to his friend behind him, not paying much attention to the obstacle under his feet, until the touch of his toes collided, he suddenly stopped his words, and apologized to the "obstacles" in front of him again and again:
"I'm really sorry, the light here is not good, you are squatting here in black, I really didn't see you......"
Seeing that the man did not reply, the young man leaned forward, picked up half of the cigarette that was still burning from the cigarette butts that were falling at his feet, brought it to his mouth, and took a deep breath.
"You kicked me and wasted a puff of cigarette." The hoarse voice was like a piece of moldy bacon, dry and woody, and lifeless.
When the young man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly touched his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one and handed it to the man squatting on the side of the road: "I'm really sorry, come big brother, smoke a cigarette......"
The man who was squatting on the side of the road slowly raised his head when he heard this.
His gaze had just met with the young man, and the smirk on the young man's face froze instantly. With a trembling hand, both the cigarette case and the cigarette fell to the ground. He pulled up his legs and ran into the distance, and his neat steps were not at all as stumbling as they had just been......
"This cigarette is not easy to smoke, but it will be fine......" The man picked up the cigarette case, sneered, and brushed the scar on his forehead with his finger holding the cigarette, "I was already ugly, and you brought such a scar on my face......"
The man said to himself, his gaze resting on the finger that had just fallen from his forehead.
"Yo, you're not angry when you're kicked, are you still the Black Eight I know?" A pair of high heels stood silently behind Hei Hachi, and the charming voice Hei Hachi recognized it at once.
"Everyone has apologized, what do I have to be angry about, is it possible that I will kick him too?" Kurohachi lowered his head, silently sent the cigarette in his hand to the sole of his shoe, and drew a circle on the cigarette butt on his toes.
"Of course the Black Eight I know won't just kick him, at least ten kicks him back......"
"Sister Hua, don't make fun of me." Kurohachi stood up, and his sturdy body cast an incomparably huge shadow under the street lamp, completely enveloping the woman in front of him.
"You didn't call me out today to treat me to supper, did you? I can't eat too much, I've been wearing these clothes a little tighter lately, and I can't wear them anymore no matter how fat I am......"
"Sister Hua, I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you. I didn't return the money to them, and I can't handle the land in this snack street......"
The woman's playful expression instantly became serious: "What about the money? ”
"I'm done with ......" Kurohachi glanced timidly at the woman's face, and the grim look made him hurriedly lower his head again.
"Cigarettes again?" The woman's gaze was filled with irritation.
Hei Hachi nodded silently, this fierce and vicious strong man seemed to be a child who made a mistake at the moment, waiting for punishment with anxiety.
Hei Ba was ready in his heart, Sister Hua would scold him with a slap in the face, or directly slap him twice......
But none of the things he expected happened.
She just let out a long sigh.
This made Hei Ba very unsure.
Hei Hachi raised his eyes to look at the woman, and under that glamorous appearance, there seemed to be endless secrets hidden that people couldn't figure out.
After a while, the woman asked, "Then do you know who that King of hearts is?" ”
Hei Hachi nodded, and immediately shook it twice, and looked into the depths of the snack street: "I'm not sure, but I can probably guess who it is......"
When Hei Ba spoke, the image of Xiao Yu appeared in his mind.
The feeling of oppression brought about by the huge energy gushing out of Xiao Yu's body that night made him feel palpitations all the time.
The level of energy leaking out of his body alone had exceeded all the energy he could muster.
He could only guess that the person behind Zuo You that night was the owner of the king of hearts.
The woman looked in the direction that Hei Hachi was looking, and her eyes were like the frozen surface of the lake in the cold winter: "Is he here?" ”
Kurohachi nodded slightly.
The woman's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her vermilion lips were bitten out of a white mark by her teeth: "Go and see ......"
She used a seemingly calm tone to suppress the uneasiness in her heart: If it was really K-rank......
……
The moon was shining brightly, and it fell on the neon lightbox as an inconspicuous halo.
The charcoal fire under the light box burned red, and the flickering light of the fire turned the eyes in front of the stove into red makeup.
Chi Ye closed his eyes and coughed twice a little deliberately, pretending to be smoked.
The three people in the store all saw it very clearly, the charcoal fire in the furnace was burning vigorously, and there was no choking smoke wafting out.
But faintly, the smoke lingering around everyone.
Xia Buhe sighed in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, so he just stood quietly......
She didn't know if Chi Ye's self-willed cultivation was right or not.
But she knew that the moment Chi Ye calmly revealed his scars to everyone, he had already let go......
When Xia Buhe's gaze swept over Chi Ye outside the store, he was surprised to find that everything in the distance had turned a blurry pale, as if he had lost focus.
She looked back at Xiao Yu and Xia Yuanmei, who also seemed to notice something strange and were looking around vigilantly.
"It's an enchantment...... Xiao Yu squatted down, stretched out a finger and put it on the ground, a few strands of light emitted from his fingertips, like a glowing phosphorescent swimming fish, sliding into the smooth floor.
After a while, Xiao Yu stood up and lowered his voice extremely low: "It's strange that the energy source of this enchantment is actually ......"
Xiao Yu moved his gaze to Chi Ye as he spoke, and silently added the unfinished words.
Chi Ye shook his head again and again, his face was dazed, and he innocently spread his hands to his chest.
Xia Yuanmei stood up, her expression became serious, her index finger was put to her mouth, and she made a "shhhh
Before Xia Buhe could figure out what was going on, and was about to ask a question, he saw Xia Yuanmei's gesture, and hurriedly bit his lip, not even daring to breathe too hard.
Then Xia Yuanmei glanced at Xiao Yu, stretched out her finger, pointed into the distance, and drew a circle, asking Xiao Yu to try to destroy the enchantment.
But Xiao Yu shook his head before he could try it, sneered, and deliberately raised his voice: "This enchantment is not simply made of energy, if you rashly destroy the enchantment, it will cause harm to the owner of the energy." ”
As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, a woman's laughter came from outside the barrier.
The laughter seemed to sound in all directions at the same time, making it impossible to tell the direction of the sound.
"I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to have such insight and be able to see the mystery behind this enchantment so quickly." The woman's voice was as ethereal as a glass bead rolling on the floor.
Xiao Yu frowned slightly: "Do you know me?" ”
The voice outside the enchantment seemed to have been discovered, and after a long pause, it sounded again: "The King of Hearts, which has disappeared for many years, will ...... in such a place"
Xiao Yu and Chi Ye looked at Xia Yuanmei together, and all three of them showed frightened looks on their faces: this person not only knew Xiao Yu, but also knew Xia Yuanmei's identity as a K of hearts, but he was afraid that he was a member of the organization......
And when he knew the identities of these two people, he dared to launch a frontal provocation......
A faint sense of unease spreads......
But this uneasiness did not affect Shabho, for her not-so-bright mind was thinking about something else:
Where have you heard this voice? Whose voice is this?
In his mind, he asked repeatedly: Who is this voice? Who is it......
She couldn't come up with an answer herself, but a faint voice in her head answered her: "Manager Zhou." ”
"Manager Zhou? Who is it? ”
"You receive your account manager when you buy something at the mall......"
Xia Buhe suddenly realized when he learned the answer, Manager Zhou's voice was indeed very special, and the charming atmosphere exuded in the voice had a tenderness like flowing water, as tactful as the first light of spring.
Xiao Gege continued: "When you first met her, she tried to invade your pathway with energy, and I wanted to warn you, but you said that if I disturbed you, I would whip you dozens of times and drive ......you away."
The uneasy atmosphere inside the enchantment didn't last long, and it was dissipated by a sentence outside the enchantment: "The dignified K-rank actually hides here to sell barbecue ......"
As soon as these words came out, Chi Ye was the first to laugh: "Hahaha, girl, are you mistaken, I'm not a K of hearts, I'm really just a barbecue ......"
The voice outside the enchantment was full of certainty: "Don't be modest, I have tested the energy of the four of you, and those two young people have no energy in their bodies; The old lady also had only a little bit of energy in her body; And the energy in your body ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of laughter from Chi Ye, who glanced at Xia Yuanmei with a black face, and said with a smile: "Girl, your energy perception ability is really not very good, among the four people you said, my energy level should be the lowest......"
There was silence outside the barrier.
Xia Buhe didn't bother to be tempted, so he simply asked directly: "Manager Zhou, why are you trapping us in the enchantment?" Is there a grudge against the King of hearts you said? ”
Xia Buhe's words directly pointed out the identity of the other party, and inadvertently took the other party's army.
"Now that you know my identity, I'll tell you the truth." Manager Zhou walked in from outside the barrier, and a pair of delicate high heels highlighted her figure elegantly and charmingly, "I was entrusted by a large real estate to discuss the transfer of the shop. ”
Chi Ye snorted from his nose, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and turned around: "It's really unfortunate, my shop just changed hands to Mr. Xiao." ”
"That's right, this shop was indeed transferred to me." Xiao Yu scratched the back of his head with a smile, with a sly smile on his face, "It's not just this shop, the shops on this street have basically been transferred to me, hehe." ”
Xia Buhe's mouth opened wide, and the puzzled "Huh? "It seems that it will pop up at any time - my husband is actually a charter man? Wouldn't I be able to enjoy the pleasure of carrying the key to collect rent......
Xia Buhe saw Xiao Yu's white eyes in a blink of an eye, and the meaning in those eyes was very obvious: You are just doing this......
Manager Zhou's face stiffened: "Why?" A lot of real estate has been talking to them for a year without talking, why did you finish it so quickly? ”
"It's very simple." Xiao Yu wrenched his fingers and said, "The price offered by a large number of real estate is only half of the market price, and I have set them twice the market price." ”
This is indeed a very simple truth, the highest price wins.
In order to obtain sufficient profits and lower the purchase price, a large number of real estate projects do not hesitate to use violent means to forcibly expropriate.
And Xiao Yu bought these shops simply because there was too much money and he did it willfully.
In the eyes of the original shop owners, their stores can be sold at twice the market price, and they can also get rid of the harassment of a large amount of real estate, why not?
