Parallel Lines of Rebirth

Chapter 20: Under the Five Fingers

Views: NaN

Wen Liang declined Zuo Yuxi's proposal to have dinner together. He understood that Zuo Meiren needed to get in touch with some important people, and the proposal for dinner was just a courtesy. He was very tactful and suggested that we should leave at the right time, and said with a smile: "We children don't have human rights. If we go home late, our butts will suffer..."

Zuo Yuxi pursed her lips and chuckled, but in her heart she looked up to Wen Liang even more. He was sensible, knew how to advance and retreat, had a clear expression in his eyes, was neither arrogant nor fawning, and at such a young age, he already had such sophisticated worldly wisdom, and was considered a first-class talent. It was unimaginable that a deputy director of the Policy Research Office could raise such a child.

Thinking of this, Zuo Yuxi smiled sweetly, stretched out her white and smooth index finger, gently scratched Wen Liang's nose, and said with a sweet breath: "I know you are smart... How about this, I will drive you back, it won't take much time... Don't reject me, any lady will get mad if she is rejected twice in a row!"

After a moment, Wen Liang regretted agreeing to let Zuo Yuxi send him back. She was wearing a green dress that perfectly outlined Zuo Yuxi's exquisite figure. Her long hair flowed by her crystal ears and meandered down her slender neck. A piece of white skin was faintly visible at the neckline. With a slight movement, the hem of her skirt seemed to be blown up by the wind, revealing a pair of charming jade legs.

Wen Liang knew that Zuo Yuxi had definitely noticed his peeping behavior, but since she didn't say it explicitly and there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of her lips, Uncle Wen naturally appreciated this rare beauty in the world with peace of mind, but in his heart he secretly sighed: It's really good to be a handsome boy. If I had done this before my rebirth, I would have been kicked under the wheels.

The car stopped at a small corner in front of the family compound. Zuo Yuxi said softly, "My car is a bit conspicuous in Qingzhou, so I won't drive over there. If you have anything, remember to find me. No matter what it is, I will definitely help you!"

Wen Liang paused, wanting to ask her to help Li Siqing talk about the school, but he didn't open his mouth after all. He nodded seriously, his expression was very serious, and it was completely different from the peeping and obscene image just now. Wen Liang certainly understood that Zuo Yuxi's words were not polite, but as soon as someone promised, you immediately made a request, which was too low in realm. Saying goodbye, he was about to push the door and get out of the car. Just as he stretched out one leg, he heard Zuo Yuxi say in an extremely charming voice: "Remember, it's anything..."

Wen Liang's legs went weak and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

The car door slammed shut, and one could vaguely hear Zuo Yuxi's wanton laughter and a contemptuous remark from inside the car: "Let you pretend to be mature again!"

Wen Liang waved at the car window in annoyance, patted his butt and walked home. Occasionally he looked back and saw that the car was still parked there, and a warm feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

On the way home, there was a pair of accompanying gazes from behind, that feeling was really good!

Just after walking a few dozen meters, four people came towards him and blocked Wen Liang against the wall. The leader was Mu Shanshan, who left countless footprints on Wen Liang's body on the night of his rebirth.

It is indeed very unpleasant to offend Gu Wenyuan. The speed of revenge makes those gentlemen who clamor that it is not too late even after ten years ashamed to death.

Wen Liang put his hands in his pockets, stared at Mu Shanshan and said calmly: "Master Gu doesn't even have the courage to come and seek revenge in person? Is he afraid?"

Mu Shanshan crossed his fingers and exerted a little force, making a crackling sound. He said viciously, "Boy, it seems that the lesson I taught you that night was not very profound. Today, Grandpa will teach you how to write the word 'fear'!"

"No need to pinch, even my toes can make louder sounds than yours," Wen Liang still looked calm, but his words pissed Mu Shanshan off to death, "I really don't know how to write the word 'fear', but you alone? Ha..."

Mu Shanshan's face was filled with rage. Not to mention Wen Liang, even the three hooligans behind him thought he was going to explode. Unexpectedly, this guy suddenly smiled, pointed at Wen Liang and said, "You have become a little smarter, and you look different from before. Wen Yuan said that you knocked him to the ground in one go. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that he was right to ask me to bring someone with me. Boy, didn't you go somewhere to practice after we stepped on you last time? But grandpa tells you, a one-on-one fight now is called a fool... Go ahead, break one of his legs, and keep him out of bed for at least two months! Oh..."

When Mu Shanshan smiled, Wen Liang knew that something was wrong. He could never have imagined that this big guy who looked careless and rough both inside and out could be so smart. He also could not have imagined that Gu Wenyuan would tell others about his embarrassing stories without any hesitation and make quite correct arrangements.

Although Wen Liang has been actively recovering his pre-rebirth physical strength and fighting skills, facing Mu Shanshan, who makes a living by fighting, and three gangsters who even fight when eating, he doesn't think he has the strength to play 5P with them.

Since provoking him doesn't work, let's use the thirty-sixth strategy - run!

Wen Liang didn't even wait for Mu Shanshan to finish his polite words. He kicked a nearby thug in the stomach, took advantage of the situation to bend his right arm and hit Mu Shanshan's face with his elbow. He raised his middle finger and shook it even as Mu Shanshan groaned. The meaning was obvious: You are no good! After posing, he immediately turned around and rushed out of the encirclement, running back the way he came.

I was so careless. I didn't expect Gu Wenyuan to be so disrespectful to the municipal party committee and actually ordered Mu Shanshan to block me at the gate of the compound. MD, you have no respect for the law. Sooner or later, I will send you all to sing "Tears Behind Bars".

Wen Liang was not too worried while running and fantasizing. He was very familiar with this area and could definitely escape. But he was worried that although Mu Shanshan would not come to block the door every day, he would always be remembered by these flies. Even the best meat would rot. He had to find a way to solve this problem once and for all.

Of course, in the near future, it is impossible to get rid of Gu Wenyuan's father by cutting off the source of the problem. The only thing that can be done is to defeat Gu Wenyuan first. If he looks for someone to block me, I will go and block him. Beat him up one after another. A barefoot man is not afraid of those wearing shoes. Beat him!

Wen Liang was so excited that he started laughing. He bumped into a gentle place. Through the thin clothes, he seemed to smell a refreshing fragrance. He rubbed it subconsciously and felt the amazing elasticity. A cold but charming voice came to his ears: "What happened?"

Wen Liang took two steps back and said with a wry smile, "I got into trouble because of my itchy hands, and now the revenger has come to me."

"Oh," Zuo Yuxi put on sunglasses without knowing when, looked coldly at the people chasing after him, pulled Wen Liang to his side, and said, "You are very brave to fight in front of the gate of No. 7 Courtyard of the Municipal Party Committee."

The people of Qingzhou are tough. Not to mention the No. 7 Courtyard of the Municipal Party Committee, even in the No. 1 Courtyard, it is said that a considerable number of glass windows are broken every quarter by bricks thrown in from outside the wall.

Mu Shanshan panted and waved his hands. The gangsters immediately surrounded the two of them. Mu Shanshan, whose face was bruised by Wen Liang's elbow, held the steel pipe tightly in his hand. Judging from his expression, he definitely wanted Wen Liang to stay in bed for more than just two months.

Wen Liang quickly estimated the enemy's and our own combat power ratio, and pessimistically discovered that if it was 1 to 4 just now, it could only be 2 to infinity now.

He scratched his head and asked in a low voice: "How many seconds can you run 800 meters?"

Zuo Yuxi glared at him with a mixture of laughter and tears. It's fine if you run away, but you also want to drag me along with you? He lightly drew an "=" on Wen Liang's palm. Wen Liang was somewhat speechless about Zuo Meiren's underground party style, and replied helplessly with an "OK".

"Run, run again. You can run on the first day, but can you run on the fifteenth? Boy from the Wen family, I'm very angry. You're dead today!" Mu Shanshan was really mad this time. He was slapped in the face by this guy when he had an absolute advantage. He felt suffocated just thinking about it.

“Bang!”

Without waiting for him to give the order, Zuo Yuxi suddenly slapped Mu Shanshan in the face, and everyone present was shocked!

Wen Liang suddenly felt that Zuo Yuxi's back had become taller. Sister, maybe you are very good in Qingzhou, but the people present here are only gangsters and high school students. No one knows you, okay? This is simple and rough, and the temper of a big lady will be despised by the reasonable party, okay

Mu Shanshan felt that she should really check the almanac before going out today. She was punched by Wen Liang, who had always been cowardly and timid, and even a woman she met on the roadside slapped her for no reason. Especially when she was surrounded by four strong men, could it be that today was the legendary "ghosts clearing the way, everything goes wrong"

The three thugs shuddered all over, looked at each other as if they remembered something, and then took a step back together.

Mu Shanshan didn't notice the situation of his comrade. The raging fire was about to burn his body. He clenched his hands tightly, veins popped, and he was about to explode. Wen Liang took a step sideways and protected Zuo Yuxi behind him. He was determined not to let her get hurt at all.

"Is this how Mu Laohei taught you to talk to your elders? Father? Who is your father?"

Zuo Yuxi didn't seem to care about the situation at hand. Her cold tone and big sunglasses made her look like a queen. Mu Shanshan was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know this woman, there were probably not many people in Qingzhou who dared to call their father Mu Zechen like that.

"Who are you?"

Zuo Yuxi was too lazy to bother with the brat anymore. She walked to the side, took out her phone and called Mu Zechen directly, "Mr. Mu, I'm Zuo Yuxi. This is what I'm saying..."

After a while, Zuo Yuxi came back and handed the phone to Mu Shanshan. As soon as Mu Shanshan took the phone, he heard a shock in his ear and his rough face twisted in pain in an instant. From childhood to adulthood, he trembled whenever he saw his father.

"Get back here in ten minutes!"

Mu Shanshan was flexible and returned the phone to Zuo Yuxi, bowed respectfully, then glared at Wen Liang fiercely, waved to the three gangsters, and was about to take them away.

Wen Liang acted frightened, held Zuo Yuxi's hand, and leaned against her tightly.

"Wait!"

Zuo Yuxi took off her sunglasses, revealing her pretty face that could suffocate any man, and said, "Who are you hanging out with?"

The three hooligans had bitter faces, and the one with triangular eyes smiled and said, "Our boss's boss is Brother Nine..."

Zuo Yuxi was a very smart person. Although he didn't know these thugs, he knew from the timid look they showed on him just now that this group of people must know about his relationship with Lao Jiu. When he asked them, it turned out to be true.

"Well," Zuo Yuxi put on sunglasses and said casually, "Do you know me?"

“I don’t know him!”

This time, the three of them spoke in unison and were extremely resolute.

"The children should resolve their own issues. You should stop interfering. I have brought this to you. Don't let it happen again."

“Understood!”

Seeing the few buddies he had spent money on over the past few years surrender in an instant, Mu Shanshan finally decided that he could not cause trouble for Wen Liang in the near future. He became furious and no longer cared about those wimps, and turned around and left alone.

After everyone dispersed, Wen Liang chuckled and said, "So majestic, so fierce!"

Zuo Yuxi pinched his face and pulled it up and down a few times, with a half-smile on her face: "Little bastard, sister just helped you out, you still have the mind to plot against me?"

Wen Liang kept saying he didn't dare. After they chatted for a while, Wen Liang asked, "Is it going to cause you any trouble?"

"Well, Mu Zechen is just a lackey of Gu Shitong, so he is nothing to worry about. How did you offend the boy from the Mu family? Children should not play house too much."

Wen Liang could only smile bitterly and explained the whole story. When he mentioned that Gu Wenyuan was knocked down with one punch, Zuo Yuxi laughed loudly and pinched his face again and pulled it.

"Hey! My mother didn't give birth to me so that you can take advantage of me..."

The protest was naturally ineffective. Zuo Yuxi laughed after she had ravaged him enough: "It's okay. Although Gu Shitong is strong, he won't do anything just because of the childish temper. Just remember not to let Gu Wenyuan cause trouble for you at school. I'll help you deal with things in society. Haha, I didn't expect that Gu Wenyuan, who has the best reputation among the younger generation, is actually just a show of gold and jade..."

After some laughter, a strange feeling spread between the two. It turns out that the interaction between people can only be mutually beneficial if they interact with each other. Although Wen Liang had saved Zuo Yuxi's life before, it was a unilateral help from a small person to a big person. Zuo Yuxi was grateful, but there was a little estrangement in her subconscious. After all the trouble just now, the help became mutual. Although it was not equal, the estrangement had disappeared, just like friends who had known each other for a long time met by chance, and like relatives who were separated from each other suddenly met, just like the wine buried under the peach blossom forest, which became more mellow and fragrant over the years. Wen Liang also put aside the worldly calculations and said naturally: "Sister Zuo, I have something to trouble you. I have a sister named Li Siqing, who has encountered some troubles in junior high school recently..."

After hearing the whole story, Zuo Yuxi snapped her fingers coquettishly, but tilted her head with a bit of mischief: "It's a small matter, wait for my call tomorrow."

Wen Liang clasped his fists and bowed, with a strange expression on his face as he began to flatter: "Greatly compassionate, truly merciful, truly merciful, you are my Avalokitesvara..."

Zuo Yuxi laughed loudly, stretched out his right hand and scratched his face, saying viciously: "I am Tathagata Buddha, you little monkey can't jump out of my Five Finger Mountain."

Looking at those slender, long, crystal clear green jade fingers, Wen Liang smiled slightly and thought: With such a beautiful Five Finger Mountain, anyone who wants to jump out is a coward!
