The three unscrupulous bosses on the bad street all looked at Chen Xiao with their eyes. Chen Xiao couldn't help but was speechless and could not speak.

Lu Chengzhe seemed to be looking forward to it, and said politely to Chen Xiaoke: "Sir, I sincerely ask for help, and the work I entrusted me definitely did not violate the code of conduct of your organization... so..."

Although Chen Xiao was surprised, he was still quite smart after all. He reluctantly swallowed and said, "Well... then, please tell me the content of the commission."

After saying that, he couldn't help but glare at the three bad street bosses.

Lu Chengzhe shook his head: "Some things in the business have offended people I can't afford to offend. Now the life safety of me and my family is threatened."

As he spoke, he took out a thin document from the mezzanine under the box and placed it respectfully on the counter between the two of them.

"This is the detailed commission content. The thing is probably like this. A month ago, I received an anonymous letter. The content was intimidation and threats. It asked to prepare a large sum of money and transfer it to the designated account on the date designated by the other party. " Lu Chengzhe smiled bitterly: "I have some wealth. Over the years, I have received a lot of this kind of random blackmail and threats. As a rich man, I also have the troubles of a rich man. I didn't care about this incident at first. , just treat it as a normal situation. But then, after the specified payment deadline in the other party’s threatening letter passed, a series of strange things began to happen at home.”

Speaking of this, Lu Chengzhe also showed a trace of panic on his face.

Chen Xiao looked at Uncle Tian and the other three people behind him, and found that the three unscrupulous guys looked indifferent. Uncle Tian was enjoying tea leisurely, Zhu Rong was smoking, and Gonggong... was still leaning on his wife's shoulder docilely. superior…

"Then what?" Chen Xiao had no choice but to ask casually.

"The next night after the deadline, I received a phone call. The voice on the phone was a metallic voice. The other person threatened me and said that it seemed that I didn't believe in their power, so they would show it to me step by step. After hanging up the phone, I was just a little worried, but the next morning..." Lu Chengzhe shivered and looked ugly: "I woke up in the morning and found a piece of paper next to my pillow! On the paper was a string of The account number is exactly the designated account that the blackmailer asked me to transfer money to before."

Get up in the morning? Next to the pillow

Lu Chengzhe gritted his teeth: "I also have bodyguards at home. The house I live in has an advanced defense system, and the doors and windows are very tight. But the other party was able to break into my bedroom so quietly and put down such a thing while I was sleeping. —If the other party wanted my life at that time..."

Chen Xiao nodded and was involuntarily attracted by this matter.

"The next morning, I carefully questioned the bodyguards and servants at home. No results were obtained after the interrogation, but I had already begun to be vigilant and strengthened my security forces. But on the third day, strange things happened again in our home. In the morning At that time, all the water in my swimming pool turned red!" Lu Chengzhe rubbed his temples and said distressedly: "But no one can figure out how the other party did it! The red thing is not blood, it's the The paint was poured in, but to dye such a large pool of water red, at least two or three buckets of paint are needed. There are bodyguards patrolling my yard at night, but no one noticed any unusual movement!"

After a pause, he continued with a wry smile: "On the fourth day, before I went out, the driver was horrified to find that several cars in my garage could not start. It turned out that someone had cut the wires in the cars... And in the garage A piece of paper was left on the door and it said: Now you should know our power."

Lu Chengzhe's face became paler and paler: "What I'm worried about is that fortunately they just cut the line so that the car couldn't start. If they broke the brake... then..."

"Have you offended anyone recently?" It was not Chen Xiao who spoke this time, but Uncle Tian. The uncle's expression finally became a little more serious, but he still held the tea cup leisurely and calmly blew He sighed: "You are a rich man, right? Did you have a conflict with anyone in business?"

Lu Chengzhe also looked a little helpless: "My business is not small, but when it comes to business conflicts, I ask myself and I will never kill all my business opponents. I am a traditional Chinese businessman, and what I pay attention to in life is to leave room for the other party." A little room, mountains and rivers meet... Even if there are business rivals, they will not form such a deep hatred. And..." His voice was very nervous: "I think these things are too weird, I'm afraid, I'm afraid... "

"I'm afraid it's not something a normal person can do, right?" Uncle Tian took a sip of tea, slowly put down the cup, and glanced at Chen Xiao: "What about you? Have you made your decision?"

Chen Xiao looked at Uncle Tian with some doubts and winked. Does that mean: Do you really want me to make the decision

Lao Tian smiled, blinked at Chen Xiao, and nodded slightly.

Alas... Chen Xiao was helpless. Are these monster guys kidding themselves

"Mr. Lu." Chen Xiao said bravely: "We need to discuss your matter. We will reply to you as soon as we have the result. Regardless of whether we accept the entrustment, we will give you an answer."

Lu Chengzhe looked slightly disappointed: "Is it because the conditions I offered are not enough... If so, I can..."

"No, it's not." Chen Xiao immediately shook his head and said calmly: "This... this matter cannot be accepted rashly. You must give us time to discuss it."

Lu Chengzhe wanted to say something else, but Zhu Rong next to him suddenly knocked on the table: "Hey, Mr. Lu, where did you know about our place? Who told you to come to us to accept the commission?"

"I have a friend named Xu." Lu Chengzhe smiled bitterly: "He is in the real estate business. He saw that I was not in a good mood recently, so I told him the truth. He introduced me here. He said that no matter what problems there are, as long as you are willing to accept the entrustment , can help me settle it. He also said... the person in your organization is acting very abnormally, so I must be more careful. As for this sword, it is also... "

"He was also the one who told you that we don't like cash and like some weird stuff, right?" Zhu Rong smiled wildly: "It turns out it was the old boy named Xu. Huh, he even introduced us to the business. Okay. Okay, you can go, but leave the sword first."

The last sentence of "the sword stays" immediately made Lu Chengzhe's face light up, and he hurriedly left, as if he was afraid that several people would regret it.

"Wait a minute!" Uncle Tian suddenly smiled, walked over, patted Lu Chengzhe's shoulder gently, and gently stroked his shoulder with his hand as if intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a slight smile: "Leaving the sword does not mean Accept the commission on our behalf. The person with the power to make the decision is this young man. If he says no, I will return the sword to you. Don’t worry, we won’t steal your treasure.”

Lu Chengzhe quickly shook his head: "Don't dare! Don't dare!"

After saying that, he hurriedly left the store, got in the car and left surrounded by many bodyguards.

When everyone was gone, Chen Xiao turned around and looked at the three of them seriously. His expression was a bit unsightly, and he didn't say anything. He walked directly behind the counter, slowly took off his apron, folded it and put it in the cabinet under the counter.

He picked up his backpack and walked out the door without saying hello.

He had only taken two steps when he heard Uncle Tian shouting from behind: "Wait! Where are you going?"

Chen Xiao turned around and said in a very cold tone: "Please tell old man Edward that I quit my job."

Uncle Tian was not surprised. He hugged his arms and asked with a smile: "Why?"

"I came here to agree to Lei Hu's request... I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't want to get involved in things that are too troublesome. I'm already very unhappy about being involved this time and being on some 'watch list' for no reason. . And this job, Lei Hu also promised, has absolutely nothing to do with your 'service agency', so I am willing to come here! But now, things are obviously not that simple!" Chen Xiao pointed to his nose: " I am a mortal, and you are supermen. You can set fire, fly, and do everything else. It has nothing to do with me, right? I just want to go to school, work, and make money to support my family."

Zhu Rong and Uncle Tian looked at each other, and both of them laughed. Then Zhu Rong stood up, walked to Chen Xiao with the sound of jingling metal chains, raised his arms and hugged Chen Xiao affectionately. Chen Xiao immediately felt that the pair of bulging breasts in front of him were almost squeezing into his face. He was so scared that he quickly shrank back and blushed; "You..."

"Oh, you're so shy." Zhu Rong smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Why are you so shy! When you get older, I can be your grandma! You are a little kid, are you still shy with me?"

Milk, grandma? !

Looking at Zhu Rong's delicate skin and flower-like face, Chen Xiao was a little surprised at first, and then said angrily: "You people with super powers just like to entertain people!"

"You don't believe it?" Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "You should know that we are all retirees! Look at my appearance. If I am about the same age as you, do I look like I am retired?" She came closer. He looked at Chen Xiao's face, stared into Chen Xiao's eyes at close range, and said with a cold smile: "Little guy, listen carefully, your sister Zhurong, I am almost a hundred years old this year!"

What? One, a hundred years old

Chen Xiao immediately didn't believe it: "You think it's your Tianshan child grandmother!"

Zhu Rong curled his lips: "He's a newcomer after all... It's normal that he can't accept it for a while. Tell me, he's not the oldest here. The oldest guy here is this Uncle Tian! He is the real old man who has been immortal for hundreds of years. Monster." He said, winking, stretched out his slender fingers, and poked the tip of Chen Xiao's nose.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but look back at this "Uncle Tian".

"She didn't lie. I am over four hundred years old this year..." Uncle Tian shook his head: "I was born in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, which is 1546 AD."

Gong, AD, 1, 1, 1546? ?

Chen Xiao felt that his head was a little swollen, and he was speechless for a while. He just looked at the two people blankly, and after a long time, he said with great effort: "You... I don't care how old you are! It’s just that I have no interest in joining your service club!”

"Hahahahaha..." Zhu Rong smiled: "I told you, we are retirees now and we have not asked you to join the service club."

This runaway girl deliberately leaned close to Chen Xiao's body and winked at her: "As for the commission of this place, it has nothing to do with the service agency. It's just that we retired people are all tired of stuff." It’s time to travel around. It’s hard to find a fixed place to live a peaceful life for a few days. But what about us old people, we always have to eat, right? Do we need expenses? When we retire, we naturally don’t get a salary. We had no choice but to set up such a commission office ourselves to earn some pension money... Did you listen carefully? Leihu and the others didn't lie to you. This place indeed has nothing to do with the business of the service agency. It's just a few of us retired old people. This guy does it to make extra money."
