Bodyguard of the Goddess

The appearance of Lao Du ruined the atmosphere of the supper. Although Lao Xing arrived in time to coordinate the relationship between all parties and left the food stall quickly, the appearance of Li Mubai made the atmosphere even more weird.

Who is Li Mubai? The second child of the Zhao family.

What about Ye Shiguan? The nemesis of the Zhao family. Even just now, Li Mubai helped Xiao Zheng and brought Lao Xing to coordinate the relationship between all parties. But from the perspective of the black bear, Li Mubai is still an enemy, a powerful and intelligent enemy.

"It's getting late." Xiao Zheng smiled and stood up. "Thank you very much for your great help. I will invite you to drink later."

After all, he turned and left the food stall without waiting for everyone to respond.

He is a bit tired, at this moment, he just wants to go home and sleep. No longer laugh hypocritically, and no longer hide your emotions. Maybe only at home, in the bedroom where he only stayed overnight, can he completely relax himself?

He didn't need to sincerely express his gratitude to Ye Shiguan, nor did he need to express his gratitude to Li Mubai full of gratitude. Because he knew that both of them might be the mastermind tonight. Otherwise, how could they appear at the same time? Otherwise, how can you help yourself at the same time?

court? Or, cleared of suspicion?

Xiao Zheng was sneering in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, he just walked towards home indifferently.

He didn't need to be hypocritical with these two people, and Hei Xiong, he was even less polite. The black bear didn't want to listen to his polite words either. So Xiao Zheng walked very decisively and resolutely. He doesn't seem to worry about making people think he's tearing down bridges and throwing them away when he's done using them.

Even Bai Yujiao felt that Xiao Zheng had gone too far. Everyone is helping you, why do you leave so coldly and arrogantly? The shelf is too big, right?

She followed behind Xiao Zheng all the way, but she never made a sound. It wasn't until he had walked a few streets that Xiao Zheng turned around slowly, and looked at Bai Yujiao with puzzled eyes: "What are you still following me for? Why don't you go home?"

"I don't want to go home." Bai Yujiao shook her head, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Zheng.

"Are you curious why everyone helped me?" Xiao Zheng asked solemnly.

Bai Yujiao bit her lips lightly, nodded and said, "I'm really surprised why everyone is willing to help you, but I'm even more curious—why you are so indifferent when everyone else is helping you. Do you think they Is it natural to help you?"

Without the help of this group of people, maybe Xiao Zheng would be squatting in the prison right now. Even, it will be classified as a murderer. In the eyes of ordinary people, whether it is Lao Xing's help, Li Mubai, or Ye Shiguan, they are all great benefactors. Why is Xiao Zheng's reaction so cold? The coldness was beyond Bai Yujiao's imagination.

In Bai Yujiao's impression, Xiao Zheng is by no means a person who does not know good and bad. And he's not the kind of man who gets cheap and acts good. So, why?

"If someone slaps you and gives you a candy, will you be grateful for his reward?" Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly.

"What do you mean?" Bai Yujiao frowned.

"Don't understand?" Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette, his eyes gradually became clearer. "Guess who sent those people tonight?"

"Who?" Bai Yujiao asked curiously.

How would she know? She is not Xiao Zheng, nor is she the mastermind behind the scenes. But through the reminder of Xiao Zheng's words, she seemed to understand Xiao Zheng's subtext.

Who gave him candy?

Lots of people gave him candy tonight.

So, were they the ones who slapped Xiao Zheng?

With this in mind,

Bai Yu's delicate body trembled slightly: "You mean—"

"Do you think I should be grateful to them?" Xiao Zheng asked back.

"Isn't Ye Shiguan your best brother?" Bai Yujiao asked hesitantly.

When Xiao Zheng heard this, a complex expression flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Maybe, it was indeed once."

"Why did he do this?" Bai Yujiao asked in shock.

Best brother is going to kill himself?

If this is the case, Xiao Zheng's abnormal attitude tonight is easy to understand. If it was Bai Yujiao, she would even be more abnormal than Xiao Zheng, and even explode on the spot!

"You should ask him." Xiao Zheng said calmly, showing a tired look. "I'm tired. Going home and going to bed."

Bai Yujiao stood there in a daze, silent for a long time before she nodded lightly: "Good night."

Staring at the back of Xiao Zheng leaving alone, Bai Yujiao felt that this back was too indifferent before, but now, she felt inexplicably sad. And a tinge of pity.

Being betrayed by the best brother who used to be, maybe not many men can afford it? But Xiao Zheng endured it, and kept smiling from the beginning to the end.

Let me ask, how many people can do what Xiao Zheng did?

...

As soon as Xiao Zheng left, Hei Xiong lost interest in staying any longer. Especially when Li Mubai was still present, under such circumstances, he would usually leave the intrigue to Ye Shiguan to handle. He knew that Ye Shiguan was better at trying to figure out people's hearts than himself. And I am only suitable for charging forward.

The black bear is gone. The surrounding group of younger brothers also left one after another. Ye Shiguan and Li Mubai were the only two left in the bustling food stall. It seems tit for tat, but in fact, it is also undercurrents.

What undercurrent?

An undercurrent of distrust. Beware of undercurrents. And - the undercurrent of mission failure.

"Idiot." Ye Shiguan poured a glass of beer straight away, spit out two words with cold eyes.

"Stupid?" Li Mubai said indifferently. "If I don't show up, maybe the black hand behind the scenes will be blamed on me alone. At least for now, he will choose between you and me as an enemy."

"You think Xiao Zheng's IQ is just this little?" Ye Shiguan glanced at Li Mubai contemptuously. "If that's the case, will Mr. Zhao intentionally pass the seat on to him?"

"Then why did you show up?" Li Mubai asked back. "Haven't you already broken with him? What is your identity?"

Ye Shiguan cast a cold glance at Li Mubai: "Whether the mission is successful or not, I can't continue to hide it. If he is alive or dead, he will know that I have a part in what happened tonight."

"Are you crazy?" Li Mubai questioned. "Why did you do that?"

"I just wanted to give Liu Qing a better chance of winning. But now it seems that it doesn't work at all." Ye Shiguan stared at Li Mubai coldly. "It's you instead. Aren't you afraid that Xiao Zheng will reveal what you did?"

"What am I afraid of?" Li Mubai asked with twinkling eyes.

"I remember that Mr. Zhao had explicitly banned him, and no one was allowed to touch him." Ye Shiguan said lightly.

"Who said I did it?" Li Mubai pursed his lips and said. "Obviously it was Chen Chong who held a grudge, so he hired a killer to take revenge on him. Even if Xiao Zheng didn't say anything, I wouldn't lie to Fourth Master for him."

"It seems that you are not too stupid." Ye Shiguan slowly got up and said. "Li Mubai, remember. To me, you are not an irreplaceable person. So don't challenge my patience, let alone make your own decisions."
