ether to envy you or sympathize with you.”Aqing lay on the ground this way, taking in less air than he was expelling. His body gradually grew cold, and his eyes began to glaze over."Too bad," Ding She...Stepping out of the bar, the streets were a kaleidoscope of colorful neon lights and soft yellow glows, adding a peculiar charm to the night city. It beckoned people into this world brimming with joy and vitality.
And Wang Lin stood here, for some reason, looking out of place.
Zhou Qi, standing beside Wang Lin, watched him staring blankly. He didn't urge him, just stood there quietly.
A few seconds later, Wang Lin looked at Zhou Qi who stood quietly beside him, and awkwardly smiled. "Sorry about that, this is my second time coming to a bar, I'm still not used to it."
Zhou Qi smiled back, "It's nothing, you get used to it after coming a few times. The car is ready. Just give me a call anytime you decide, there's still over a month."
Wang Lin nodded and said, "Well, whether I agree or not, I'll let you know."
"That's enough for me. I trust my intuition, and I believe you'll agree. In the future, come to me whenever you want, play whatever you like, it's all on me." Zhou Qi looked at Wang Lin confidently, as if he had already made up his mind about him.
Wang Lin also smiled, "Then thank you, Boss Zhou. However, I probably won't have many opportunities to come here."
"By the way, I heard you and Song Sihai's son have some history"
Wang Lin looked at Zhou Qi and thought, "Is he pretending not to understand In such a big city, he could find me, surely he investigated me carefully"
Zhou Qi seemed to see through Wang Lin's thoughts and awkwardly said, "Ahem, I just want to confirm, be careful. Song Sihai's methods are not something ordinary people can handle, I can't stop him either."
Wang Lin waved his hand, indifferently saying, "It's nothing. My beef isn't with him personally, just that we both find each other disagreeable. As for Song Zhe, I do know a bit about him."
"That's good, that's good," Zhou Qi seemed to have let go of a stone in his heart, and his whole person seemed to relax a bit.
This change was clearly felt by Wang Lin, "It seems that inviting me, he also put a lot of pressure on himself."
Two people walked to the car. Wang Lin waved to Zhou Qi and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I'll go first."
Zhou Qi also waved goodbye.
When Wang Lin got home, he took a look at the time and called Wang Erpao.
"Is there anything Wang Lin." Wang Er Pao lowered his voice and asked cautiously.
"What are you doing Why is your voice so soft" Wang Lin was a little curious. This Wang Erpao had always been loud, never speaking in such a low voice before.
"Oh, never mind that for now. I'll call you back later." Wang Erpao said a little anxiously, then immediately hung up the phone.
Before the phone call ended, Wang Lin distinctly heard a voice from beside her saying, “Police, don’t move,” followed by a woman’s scream.
This Wang Er Pao is really something, he's probably going to play himself into trouble this time.
After Wang Lin finished washing up, he just lay down in bed and started chatting with Xiao Yue. Well, he wanted to strike while the iron was hot. Since Xiao Yue's heart had opened a little, he planned to rush in and seize the territory.
Half an hour later, Wang Er Pao's phone call came, which surprised Wang Lin for a while. He wasn't caught That's too bad, the police aren't very good at their job!
"Wang Lin, what was the phone call about just now You almost scared me to death!" Wang Erpao's loud and boisterous voice came from the phone.
"You weren't caught" Wang Lin was only curious about this at the moment. With everything blocked off, how could he have escaped
"You're hoping I get caught Hell no... Wait, why would someone as righteous as me get arrested!" Wang Erpao seemed to come to his senses and quickly changed his tune.
"Wasn't the police doing a raid just now They blocked the entrance and he still managed to escape. He really is our boss, isn't he!" Wang Lin said with a smirk.
"Heh heh, don't you know who I am As soon as the police entered the floor, I felt it and ducked into the closet, escaping unharmed!"
Hearing Wang Lin's sarcasm, Wang Erpao gave up explaining and instead generously admitted it. This left Wang Lin speechless.
"You're kidding, right I met such a tough guy today! I had an appointment with a married woman, but her husband found out. He actually called the police and reported his wife for prostitution! I've never seen anything like it!"
Wang Erpao's words were filled with admiration for that husband. "If it wasn't in a woman's own home, I estimate it wouldn't have been discovered. Oh well, looks like I'll have to spend money staying in hotels from now on."
Wang Lin listened to Wang Erpao's words in silence. He felt that Wang Erpao was showing off, but he had no evidence.
When it came to money, Wang Lin immediately got down to business. "I have a question for you," he said. "Can I take on private jobs using my Awakener status"
"Sure, as long as it doesn't harm the interests of the country and the people, the association basically stays out of things. I give you absolute freedom." Wang Erpao said noncommittally, "Didn't I tell you before The association is managed very loosely."
"Alright, I understand. I'll go take a private job in a while and make some money." Wang Lin nodded.
"What kind of private job is it Can you take me along" Wang Erpao immediately asked Wang Lin when he heard that there was still money to be made.
"This has to be kept secret. I promised not to tell anyone."
"Tch, I know everything that happens in Zhongzhou City. Could it be the Zhou family a month from now" Wang Erpao guessed randomly and hit the bullseye, leaving Wang Lin shocked.
"No way, you guessed it right on the first try When did Wang Erpao become so good"
Imagine Wang Lin's expression, Wang Erpao felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
“Since you know, can you talk about this” Wang Lin was a bit excited because he didn’t know the specifics of the martial arts competition. The more he understood now, the more advantageous it would be for him.
"Hee hee, it's not clear on the phone. Let's find a hotel. I just ran for a bit and got a little hungry." Wang Erpao smirked, wanting to treat Wang Lin to a meal.
"No problem, where are you I'll come find you." Wang Lin immediately agreed. Compared to 200,000 yuan, a meal was nothing, just a drop in the bucket.
"No, just go to the hotel next to the branch. You poor thing, you don't even have a car, it's too far and I'm really worried you won't make it."
Wang Lin hung up the phone with a black face, and his heart was filled with resentment: "Damn it, I was looked down upon again. What's wrong with being poor Have I done anything to you When I get to your age, I'll definitely be richer than you!"
He grabbed his electric scooter keys and headed out, riding his little beat-up scooter straight to the target hotel.
After arriving at the hotel, we waited for another half an hour before Wang Erpao showed up. Wang Lin looked at his clothes and teased him, "You don't need to hurry so much, do you You didn't even have time to change your clothes"
At this time, Wang Erpao was wearing only a vest. His pants were fine, but he had lost one shoe. He looked disheveled and dirty, just like a vagrant.
Wang Erpao didn't care, pulled out a chair and sat down, disdainfully saying, "What do you little kids know This is my practice, it lets me remember next time not to make trouble in other people's homes!"
"Have you ordered yet" he asked Wang Lin, looking at him.
"No worries! Since I don't know when you'll be here, I didn't dare to order in advance."
"None of this is good, I'll order myself then. I'm starving to death." Wang Erpao snatched the menu and started checking off items one by one.
"Today was really exciting, I feel like I'm about to break through to the Dàojìng realm!" He reminisced about what just happened, a little afraid. "After yesterday's mission, I felt some looseness in my bottleneck, and after the intense ups and downs of my state of mind just now, a breakthrough seems possible! Hahaha!"
"Congratulations then! How about you treat me to dinner today It's a celebration!" Wang Lin sincerely congratulated Wang Erpao and wanted to have him treat him to a meal.
"One thing at a time, once I break through successfully, I'll definitely celebrate properly. This place isn't worthy of my status!"
"Alright, then let's do it next time. What did you eat today I'll double that amount on my end." To avoid being ruthlessly slaughtered by Wang Erpao this time, Wang Lin issued a direct threat.
"Well, I don't have much of an appetite today, I probably can't eat that much!" Saying that, she crossed out most of the dozen or so dishes they had just ordered, then calculated it and handed the menu back to the boss.
"Alright, no more beating around the bush, let's get to the point," Wang Erpao obviously didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer and quickly changed the subject.""What's your deal! You dress like a freaking neon sign all day, what Did your dad run out of colors Does he need you to change outfits every day and add some color to his life!""I....""What Me! Oh no...
