Wang Ping had just started to fill the bathtub with water and hadn't even taken off his clothes when he heard Gu Lao San and Lang Xiao Si fighting outside.
Unlike the usual fights or play, both sides seemed to be unhappy. Especially Gu Lao San, who seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and magically gained the upper hand, chasing Wolf Xiao Si all over the room.
The badger shrugged his shoulders, pretending not to hear, and jumped onto the washstand to untie the cloth on his head. When he looked up, he saw a big mirror opposite him.
"Pah~"
The cloth strip hit the mirror. Wang Ping turned around angrily, only to find a bigger mirror behind him.
"Oh my god, it feels so good..."
In the bathroom of Wang An's room, someone was lying in the bathtub with his legs crossed in a bold posture, with a refreshing look on his face. His fair skin was faintly visible under the water, and many parts of his arms and thighs were bruised and scratched.
A nearly ten-centimeter-long scar on the left side of the bathtub in front of her calf was particularly conspicuous, which was why Wang An rarely wore skirts or shorts.
The scar was caused by a sickle when he went to the countryside to play when he was ten years old. That day, a certain unscrupulous brother who was already in junior high school was beaten into shock by his father, and Wang An, who applauded, was also severely beaten and was beaten with bamboo shoots and pork until he screamed like a ghost.
Only the brother and sister knew that Wang An was holding the sickle at the time, and she fell down and cut her leg while "chasing" someone. As a result, Wang Ping took the sickle and just as he helped her up, they were seen by their mother who came to look for them to go home for dinner.
"You have new messages, please check them~"
A text message came from the pocket of his pants on the washstand. Wang An took a towel to wipe his hands, took out his phone and swiped it. It turned out to be a bank deposit notification. A full 100,000 RMB.
"What's going on?"
Wang An was stunned for a moment, then searched for the hotel's wifi and connected. He opened WeChat and saw a message from his assistant.
"Boss, Douyu wants to use your photo for a promotional poster. I saw that it was an advertisement for them, so how could I not pay for it? So I took the initiative to negotiate the advertising fee for you. Hehe, you don't have to thank me too much, just send me a big red envelope! Muah~"
"Heh... little money-grubber!"
Wang An laughed and cursed, but then he became curious. He had no fame, and he was not a contracted anchor of Douyu, so how could they use him for publicity
After thinking for a while, I opened the mobile browser and searched for "Douyu promotional poster". Soon, a lot of pictures popped up. There were also many strange things that were searched out.
For example, "What to do if you are attacked by a kangaroo", "How to escape from a kangaroo's arms", "Things to pay attention to when traveling to Australia", etc., which made someone's face turn black.
“This bastard!”
With the sound of water, Wang An sat up directly from the bathtub, gritted his teeth, and stood up to find trouble with a badger. But just as he touched the bath towel, he inexplicably recalled the image of the furry little body in the afternoon, looking a little pitiful.
“Bang!”
The bath towel was thrown into the water, and Wang Anfu lay down in the bathtub again, sighing and leaning on the towel on the edge.
"Humph, for the sake of the hundred thousand dollars, I won't bother with a small animal!"
He raised his hand and touched the phone again, clicked on a black icon with a musical note, and planned to watch a few short videos to change his mood.
Dynamic music sounded in the bathroom. Wang An looked at the familiar pictures on his phone and frowned slightly. In just a dozen seconds, as the wild dogs in the pictures fell to the ground after being beaten or kicked, a woman's scream or cursing could always be heard at the right time.
“People nowadays are so boring~”
Wang An shook his head and smiled, then swiped his finger up to the next video, which showed a similar scene. After watching for a while, when the water in the bathtub had cooled down, someone's face started to look ugly.
After seeing similar videos for five times in a row, Wang An finally realized that the female voice in the background music was not a spoof dubbing by netizens, but her own voice.
With a "ding dong" sound, WeChat notified me that a certain assistant had sent another message.
"Boss~Haha, you're popular on TikTok! Do you want me to open an account for you?"
Wang An narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, and replied to someone: "Fuck you!"
At the same time, in a classical manor on the outskirts of Edmonton, Canada.
The old man with white hair, wearing a neatly ironed shirt and vest, holding a pipe in his hand, stood in front of the study window on the second floor. The bright sunlight shone through the glass onto the old man, but it could not take away the aura of old age.
The old man's eyes have become cloudy and have long lost their former brilliance. The only thing that remains unchanged is greed and cruelty.
"Shirley~ You misunderstood!"
A hand full of age spots and wrinkles held a phone to his ear, and the tone of voice was like chatting with an old friend next door, but the words he spoke were full of blood: "Scanner betrayed me, so he died. And I know you were forced to do it, so you are still alive, right?"
"There are no coincidences in this world, only arrangements! Shirley, stop hiding, come back and help me! Now that Jin Bing and Scana are dead, it's a good time for you to take the throne. You are still so young, accumulate more wealth, don't be like me, who is still struggling for material things at this age."
At first glance, the old man's words sounded very pertinent, like the gentle persuasion of an elder, but the person on the other end of the phone didn't seem to appreciate it. He made a sarcastic remark and simply hung up the phone.
"Humph... young man!"
Listening to the busy tone, the old man narrowed his eyes, as if sighing. But when he turned around, a cold light flashed in his cloudy eyes. Opposite him, a young man was operating a laptop. It was obvious that what he just said was not simple.
"Have you found it?" the old man asked in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry, boss!" The young man stood up in a hurry, lowered his head and said nervously: "Sister Shirley's mobile phone location has been blocked, and the call time was too short, so it couldn't be cracked..."
"Humph, waste!" The old man turned around again, picked up his phone and dialed another number. After waiting for a while, he said, "Shirley has begun to suspect you. Find her before she finds out your identity! If you fail again this time, I will re-evaluate your value!"
…
Every morning when the sun rises, Wang Ping always gets up on time to do his routine "morning exercises". However, today, until the sun is high in the sky, there is no movement in Gu Laosan's room.
On the big bed in a hotel room, Wolf Xiao Si was lying on his back on the quilt, his pale head leaning against a fat "Doraemon". When he was in deep sleep, the "Doraemon" suddenly made a strange cry. An indescribable smell drifted over, and the wolf seemed to be a little bit drunk. After sneezing, he hurriedly turned his head to the other side.
The light was on in the bathroom, but there was no sound of running water.
On the washstand, Wang Ping held a fruit knife and stood in front of the mirror, gesturing at his forehead for a long time, his face full of hesitation. At his feet, there was a roll of double-sided tape.
The badger's plan was obvious: he would tear down some of the "east wall" to repair the "west wall". But he was worried that his workmanship was too rough and that he would not be able to repair the "west wall" and would damage the "east wall".
"Looking for help?"
Just like he was worried about his own craftsmanship, Wang Ping also didn't trust Gu Laosan, otherwise he would have kicked him awake long ago.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Wang An's voice came through the door.
"Hurry up and get up! If you're any later you'll miss the check-out time!"
