Brother Zhong ordered people to carry Brother Dong away who couldn't stand up, but he glanced at Xiao Zheng without leaving any trace, with a hint of malice flashing in his eyes. It seems that this grudge was forced on Xiao Zheng.
After everyone left, the grand restaurant became quiet again. Ye Shiguan's cold face returned to its original appearance, and he smiled at Xiao Zheng and said, "The people below are not sensible, so you are laughing."
"Where is that?" Xiao Zheng shook his head and said implicitly. "If you hadn't come forward, no one would have been able to recover from Li Feng's situation."
"We have been good brothers for many years, but it is too unreasonable to say this. Come on, are you in the mood to have a drink with us now?" Ye Shiguan smiled and raised his glass with a bold expression.
"Drink." Xiao Zheng raised his glass, his expression as usual.
The three of them drank several glasses of strong wine and were reminiscing about the past under the leadership of Ye Shiguan, when a call like a dragon bell sounded outside the door.
"Brother Zheng, where is my brother Zheng!?"
Before he finished speaking, a very burly young man burst into the living room. It was as if he was entering a deserted place and running rampant.
"What are you talking about?" Ye Shiguan complained. "You still know you are coming back? Your brother Zheng is already full of wine and food and is ready to go home."
The black bear looked at Xiao Zheng intently and said with excitement: "Brother Zheng, I miss you so much!" After saying that, he rushed towards Xiao Zheng like a tiger attacking its prey and hugged Xiao Zheng.
"Hey, let go, you're hurting me." Xiao Zheng bared his teeth, and a pure smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
black bear. Good brothers who entered the world together in the past. The most straightforward guy among the five, he is also the closest and closest to Xiao Zheng. It can be said that his admiration for Xiao Zheng is greater than that of his eldest brother Ye Shiguan.
The two hadn't seen each other for five years. Black Bear was not as reserved as Li Feng, nor was he as polite as Ye Shiguan. He expressed his longing for Xiao Zheng with the most direct actions.
The tall man of nearly 1.9 meters pressed down on Xiao Zheng fiercely, almost breaking Xiao Zheng's waist.
"Hehe-" Black Bear let go of Xiao Zheng, scratched his head and said with a giggle. "Brother Zheng, where have you been in the past few years? Why haven't you contacted your brothers? I almost issued a missing person notice!"
"Is it that exaggerated?" Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes at Black Bear. "With just the few words you know, can you write a missing person notice?"
Black Bear grinned innocently, rubbed his hands and said: "I can't, Brother Ye can always do it, right? I don't care, you are not allowed to run away this time. Otherwise, I will issue a pursuit order, and even if I chase you to the ends of the world, I will leave you nowhere." Hide!”
"Don't be so stupid." Xiao Zheng said with a look of disgust.
Black Bear laughed from the bottom of his heart and sat down next to Xiao Zheng. He didn't care about the moods of Li Feng and Ye Shiguan. He picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "Brother Zheng, let's go one by one. We won't come back until we get drunk today!"
Xiao Zheng raised his glasses and drank them up boldly.
Everyone had a drink. When Hei Xiong found out that Xiao Zheng actually worked as a security guard in a company, he became furious and shouted: "Which blind bitch wants you to be a janitor, Brother Zheng? Are you tired of living or are you itchy? Come back to me Just copy the guy and cut her!"
"A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth." Xiao Zheng glared at the black bear and said angrily. "This is my first job after returning to China. If you mess it up for me, I'll see if I don't pull out your skin."
Black Bear shrank his neck and said fearfully: "Brother Zheng, you don't really plan to be a security guard for the rest of your life, do you? Come here and let's do it together. If nothing else, look at the pearls, the only one who can challenge us now is Zhao Laosi. Old bastard, the others have either taken refuge with us or been destroyed by us! We have a great future!"
"Fighting and killing is no longer suitable for me." Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and shook his head. "I just want to have a stable job, so don't try to persuade me again, or I will take a detour when I see you next time."
When Black Bear heard this, he became anxious on the spot and shouted: "No, brother Zheng, why don't you tell me not to tell me? At most, I will only come to you to eat and drink, and I won't even fart!"
"That's no problem." Xiao Zheng looked up and down at the black bear wearing a designer gold watch, squinting and smiling. "Yes, a typical nouveau riche outfit. From now on, the money for the drinks will be on you."
Black Bear waved his hand and said boldly: "No problem!" After saying that, he asked Xiao Zheng with a guilty conscience. "Brother Zheng, do I look like a nouveau riche dressed like this? I feel quite energetic."
"It really suits your style." Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded.
"That's right!" Black Bear giggled a few times and opened another bottle of Maotai and Xiao Zheng wine.
However, no one noticed that when Xiao Zheng commented that Black Bear Chuan looked like a nouveau riche, Ye Shiguan had an unnatural look in the corners of his eyes. He seems to be extremely sensitive to this kind of vocabulary, which sounds extremely harsh.
At two o'clock at noon, the four well-fed people drank a cup of tea and ate a few pieces of fruit in the living room. Xiao Zheng stood up and left, saying, "It's time for me to go back to the company to work."
"Take a day off." Ye Shiguan smiled. "We haven't seen each other for so many years, and we haven't talked about what you have been doing these past few years."
"Yes!" Black Bear said enthusiastically. "Brother Zheng, which company do you work for? I'll ask for leave for you! Let's continue drinking tonight."
"I've only been on the job for two days and I asked for leave. Do you want me to be fired by my boss?" Xiao Zheng glared at Black Bear. Then he smiled at Ye Shiguan. "I'll be the host later and treat you to a nice meal. I really have to go back to work today."
Ye Shiguan looked troubled and didn't press any further. On the contrary, Black Bear kept urging Xiao Zheng to resign, but was kicked away by Xiao Zheng.
"Don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you're so awesome!" Xiao Zheng said coldly. "If you push me too hard, I'll still beat you until you have teeth all over the floor!"
Black Bear rubbed his butt and said distressedly: "Brother Zheng, you really haven't changed at all, you are still so violent."
"You haven't changed at all, you're still so tired!" Xiao Zheng said coldly.
After chatting for a few words, Xiao Zheng stood up and left. Black Bear and Ye Shiguan were sent all the way outside the villa. Then he waved goodbye.
"Brother Zheng, tell me your work address later so I can have a drink with you!" Black Bear said reluctantly.
"Okay." Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded, then waved to Ye Shiguan again. "I go first."
"Be careful on the road." Ye Shiguan smiled and waved.
"Um."
Because Li Feng didn't have a car, Xiao Zheng took him home. The two drove out of the villa area. Xiao Zheng rubbed his eyebrows, which were swollen from drinking too much, and muttered: "Black Bear, this guy hasn't changed at all. He's still as strong after drinking."
"So are you. You still have such a good drinking capacity. If it were me, I would have been knocked down by the black bear." Li Feng lit a cigarette, his eyes a little dazed.
Xiao Zheng smiled, then suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Do you have much contact with Black Bear now?"
Li Feng shook his head and said, "He occasionally calls me to come to his house for a drink, but it's not common."
Xiao Zheng nodded and gradually faded the smile on his face: "Don't blame me for overthinking. I think you are deliberately alienating them."
Li Feng stopped smoking and said with a wry smile: "Brother Ye is now a big shot in the world, and Black Bear is a super hitter that even Fourth Master Zhao has abandoned his sect and praised. But I am just a third-rate driver with a lame leg. . Without a common discourse, forcing us to get together will only embarrass everyone. I am self-aware, and I have never wanted to take advantage of them. It is good now. I occasionally run a game, and the compensation I get is enough for me to spend half a year. It’s quite comfortable.”
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said: "My impression of Li Feng is that he has first-class driving skills and never hesitates when going around corners. No matter how strong your opponent is, you are always confident. You have never lost a game. But now, you seem to be able to do it easily Accept your failure. That's not like you."
"Brother Zheng. You seem to have forgotten that I am already lame. It is God's blessing that I can still make a living in the racing world." Li Feng said with a gloomy expression.
"This is just your excuse." Xiao Zheng said seriously. "I watched your game today. In the last corner, the opponent had no chance to overtake you. Even if your legs are disabled, he can't beat you based on your skills. What are you afraid of?"
Li Feng's expression was a little stiff. He took two puffs of the cigarette and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Zheng, people will change. At least ordinary people like me will change with age. Yes, when I was racing like Like a lunatic, but that's because I'm young and I'm not afraid of anything. But now I know I'm afraid. I'm afraid of death and not being able to live a stable life. Just like you, why did you leave then? Why don't you come back now? What can you say? Have you not changed at all?"
Xiao Zheng was stunned and speechless.
"Brother Zheng, you are smarter than me. You can see through many things at a glance. But it took me a leg to figure it out." Li Feng said with a bitter expression. "I don't have the ability to pick it up or put it down like you. By the time I want to let it go, it's already too late."
Xiao Zheng continued a cigarette and looked at Li Feng with complex eyes: "My current status is not convenient, please help me keep an eye on Xiong Zi. This guy is careless and I don't trust him."
"I know." A smile appeared on Li Feng's pale face. "Xiong Zi is a nice person and very loyal. In the past few years, he has often given me money. When I said no, he turned against me, which is the same bad behavior as before."
Xiao Zheng smiled, remembering that unforgettable experience in his mind. But coincidentally, together with Li Feng, they ignored someone who should have been the most important person.
Men are like this, they can obviously say it, but they don't want to say it, and they can't say it out loud. Even if the two of them chatted in private, they only made a few very vague mentions without explaining anything.
"Be careful of Brother Zhong. His power in Mingzhu is not small. Although he has surrendered to Brother Ye, he is not willing to be a dog for Brother Ye." Li Feng finally couldn't help but say it. "He doesn't dare to offend Brother Ye, and he will probably take his anger out on you."
"Spread it on me?" Xiao Zheng said with a squinted smile. "The first day you met me, Xiao Zheng? Although I no longer hang out, I have been away for five years. But let alone a low-class old gangster, even if Mr. Zhao wants to cause trouble for me, he still has to consider what his life will be like in his later years. It’s not too boring.”
Hearing this, Li Feng's face showed a trace of his past style: "Brother Zheng is mighty."
