Chapter 987 First Encounter
"How do you know my name?"
The man became increasingly wary.
"I just chatted with your neighbor for a while."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "It's an old man who lives on the fifth floor."
There was a hint of astonishment on the man's face, and it seemed that he was somewhat impressed by the old man.
"A talkative old fellow."
The man muttered softly.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Then, let's consider it acquaintance."
"Can we talk now?"
The man remained silent, his expression still showing some resistance and gloom.
Xiao Xiao took it as the other party's acquiescence to his statement.
"Do you know Cai Peng?"
Xiao Xiao got straight to the point.
Cai Peng is the name of Cai Tianshi.
Seeing the man's suddenly tightened pupils, he knew that these two people really knew each other.
"So, the monster that scared Yu Xianya was sent by you, right?"
The man with lowered eyes stiffened, and a trace of panic ran across his face.
Did you guess right again?
"It seems that you have a good relationship with Cai Peng."
Xiao Xiao seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Are you friends?"
So this man is standing up for his friends?
Just as the man was about to say something, the cell phone on the coffee table vibrated.
Xiao Xiao smiled and motioned for the man to answer the phone first.
……
To Xiao Xiao's surprise, the man did not pick up the phone, but knelt down and turned on the speakerphone.
Is this his unique habit?
"Master Yang!"
The male voice on the phone was very strange, but it might be a familiar person, "It's me, Dapeng."
Dapeng? Cai Peng?
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly.
What an interesting unfolding.
……
"Master Yang, I just called the Yu family. They refused my request and said that someone had solved the problem of that little girl Yu Xianya. They warned me that they would call the police if I called again."< br>
The voice on the phone was loud and urgent. Cai Peng was obviously angry with the Yu family's attitude.
He didn't understand why the Yu family, who had always been submissive to him even though they had not agreed to his request, suddenly became so hard-headed?
Did they really find someone to solve Yu Xianya's problem?
How is it possible? !
He knew Master Yang's strength.
Absolutely inscrutable.
Unlike him, Master Yang has real talent and learning.
He couldn't help but think of his first meeting with Master Yang.
It was late one night, and he was staggering on his way home, half drunk.
He was scolded by his employer, who said he was... cheating?
Hey, what's the pretense?
How could such a mysterious thing be true?
It's just people's suspicions.
Anyway, as long as he can justify himself, why bother worrying so much?
You are the one who believes in these things, right?
It was tiring for him to flatter them.
Isn't it appropriate to pay some labor fees?
Cheapskates and stingy men deserve to be beaten!
Pooh!
……
Just as he was cursing, his ears moved and he heard some strange noise coming from the alley in front?
Like a chewing sound.
Listening to it in the dead of night makes my hair stand on end.
Normally, he would have walked as far as he could.
However, now his brain has been numbed by alcohol.
I don't even know what fear is.
He was confused for a moment, then staggered toward the alley where the sound came from.
……
The sound of chewing became clearer.
His heart suddenly beat very fast, and a chill ran down his spine.
He couldn't help but trembled.
The chaotic brain sobered up a bit.
He was already standing at the entrance of the alley.
He suddenly regretted it. Just when he was about to turn around and leave, there were footsteps coming from inside.
Only then did he realize that the chewing sound he heard before was no longer there.
The footsteps are getting closer. A cold breath hit his face.
It seems to have a faint fishy smell.
Not sure whether it was because he drank too much and couldn't stand still, or because of the inexplicable panic in his heart, he took a step back.
"Pa-ta~pa-ta~"
First the feet, then gradually the whole body was exposed to the moonlight.
A thin, unshaven man walked out of the alley.
He didn't even look at Cai Peng and walked straight past him.
The moment he passed by, Cai Peng's heartbeat was so loud that it even made him feel dizzy.
……
"Hey, uncle, are you walking without eyes? You bumped into my brother."
The sound from behind made him turn around suddenly.
He saw that the man walking out of the alley was blocked by a few unruly young people.
From what I heard just now, I can tell that they collided.
As for who hit whom, it was hard for him to judge without seeing the scene.
Maybe it was just a few gangsters who wanted to borrow some money to spend.
He frowned.
The feeling just now.
"My shoulder hurts."
"Did you hear that? You hurt my friend's shoulder."
"Quick, lose money."
"lose money!"
"Damn, did you hear us?"
Cai Peng saw a young gangster reaching out to slap the man in the face.
But in the next second, he saw a horrified expression on the young gangster's face.
It was as if he had seen a terrifying evil spirit.
The man remained silent and did not say a word.
He took steps again and walked past the stiff gangster.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
The other gangsters were confused by the sudden change in the situation, and it took a while before they all shouted.
Someone reached out to the gangster who didn't respond for some reason.
"Plop~"
Unexpectedly, the gangster collapsed and sat on the ground with just a slight touch.
"What's wrong with you?!"
"Hello"
Cai Peng ignored the chaos of the gangsters. He walked quickly past them and chased the man in front of him.
He started running.
But for a moment, he suddenly felt that he wanted to seize this opportunity.
As for what opportunity it was, he didn't understand it for a while.
The situation at this time did not allow him to dwell on it.
He reached out and grabbed the man's shoulder.
Under the gloomy look in the man's eyes, he smiled stiffly but flatteringly.
"Hello, I am Cai Peng."
He came from the countryside and had little education. Once he saw a boss who was leaving the village following a master with a diligent look on his face.
He suddenly decided that he too wanted to become a master.
Isn't it just nonsense?
He's the best at it.
Facts have proved that he chose a career that suits him best.
Although he has no real skills, he can always get customers.
He can also fool a few guests into treating him as a real master and respecting him.
It all depends on his sharp tongue and flexible adaptability.
However, the good times did not last long.
His business is getting harder and harder every year.
In the past, the guests supported him, but now he was asked to support the guests.
He was unwilling but helpless.
But now, he has a feeling that his turning point is coming.
