I was really relieved to see these text messages, so I immediately called them to let them know I was safe. They told me that they had returned to Chengdu.

When they first discovered that I was missing, they searched for two days but couldn't find me no matter how hard they looked. Their respective vacations had already expired, and their workplaces were urging them to go back, so they had no choice but to return to Chengdu.

They seemed to feel embarrassed for leaving without finding me, and kept apologizing to me. I smiled and shook my head. It was good enough that they were looking for me like this. If they didn't have a good relationship with me, who would care whether I was dead or alive.

After Taoist Qingfeng came out, he also said goodbye to me. He told me that he had to go back to Longhumen for a while, and asked me that it would be better for me to go back to my master's place for a while. Otherwise, if I met Master Changxian's men, it would be troublesome. He knew my ability.

Soon I was left alone. I stood at the gate of the ghost town, took a deep breath, and looked at the Yangtze River below the ghost town. I didn't know where to go. I had planned to go back to find Kaizi and the others, but after hearing what Taoist Qingfeng said, it was obviously impossible for me to stay alone. I could only go to find my master. I missed him so much that I had to ask him all the questions in my mind when I saw him this time. Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to keep them to myself.

When I arrived at the train station, I bought a train ticket directly to Anlan City, which is the city closest to my hometown and has a train station.

After getting on the train, I fell asleep and did not go looking for pretty girls like Yanjing did, because I found a rule that pretty girls all have boyfriends. If you know a pretty girl who doesn't have a boyfriend, then she must either have a problem with her sexual orientation or have been hurt by men in the past, making her difficult to pick up.

As for those who have boyfriends, the boyfriends of those pretty girls are either rich, powerful, or handsome. How can a poor and short guy like me snatch them? Should I fight with the talisman? But my talisman is sometimes more useful than money, just like before, didn't Brother Qingfeng sell that red talisman for 500,000 yuan from Yang Hongjun

I fell asleep while thinking. I found that I like to sleep when I am bored. When I woke up, it was around five o'clock in the afternoon. I was woken up by the flight attendant. Fortunately, Anlan City is the terminal. If I was just passing by, I would have missed my stop.

After thanking the conductor and checking to make sure I didn't leave anything behind, I left the carriage. It was getting dark now and there was a breeze, which made me feel very comfortable.

After getting out of the train station, I felt a little hungry, so I randomly found a restaurant nearby called Xiangliren. It looked quite clean and hygienic, so I walked in. The restaurant was not big, and I found that the air conditioner inside was just a decoration. Only the electric fan on the wall was chirping and fanning desperately.

Business was booming at the moment. There were nearly 15 tables in the restaurant, at least 10 of which were full. I looked around and found a quieter corner to sit down and ordered a bowl of noodles. Although there were many customers in the restaurant, they served the food very quickly, and my noodles arrived in just a few minutes.

I took a bite and it tasted good. It was quite spicy, but it was very comfortable to eat. I finished almost half a bowl in a short while. Suddenly, two bald middle-aged men who were eating not far in front of me stood up and shouted, "Boss, what's going on? Why is there a cockroach in this rice?"

I was stunned when I heard this. What era are these two people in? Why are they still using this trick

Sure enough, the other diners in the restaurant looked at them with contempt after hearing what they said.

After a while, a waiter who looked about my age came over, took a look at the two people's bowls, his expression changed slightly, but he still said politely: "I'm sorry, brothers, there must be some misunderstanding. I will go and change the meals for you two right away."

"Don't do these useless things. Pay the money. My stomach is feeling uncomfortable now." One of the middle-aged men said with a grim face.

The other man stopped the middle-aged man and said to the waiter in a steady voice: "Young man, you can't make the decision on this matter. Let your boss do it. This way you don't have to embarrass yourself."

The waiter thought about it, nodded, and took out his phone to talk. At this point, I felt it was fun. You know what Chinese people like to watch the most? News broadcast? Damn it, they like to watch the fun the most. Some other people who were originally going to pay the bill did not pay the bill, but took out a cigarette and watched the show. As the saying goes, a cigarette after a meal is better than a living god. If you can also watch a show, it will be even more perfect.

After waiting for about five minutes, I saw a man with wrinkled clothes walk up to the two men and said, "Hello, I'm the boss here. What are your names?"

At this moment I was shocked. I never thought it would be him. The boss here turned out to be Yang Hongjun. However, he looked extremely down and out now. He didn't have the glory he had five years ago at all. Instead, his face looked more haggard and he had lost a lot of weight.

"My name is A'long, and this is my younger brother, A'hu." said one of the middle-aged men named A'long.

"Oh, it's Brother Long and Brother Hu. I've heard of you for a long time. I wonder how you two plan to solve this problem?" Yang Hongjun said in a low voice. At this time, the down-and-out Yang Hongjun no longer has any of his former glory. If it were back then, I guess Yang Hongjun could drown several of these so-called Ah Long and Ah Hu with a single spit. But now he is so humble, which officially proves the truth that a tiger in dire straits is bullied by dogs.

"It's easy to talk about, just give me 100,000 yuan as compensation, my brother and I are easy to talk to." A-Long said. The other people watching the show also took a deep breath. Usually, a few thousand yuan would be considered a lot for such a person, but this person actually asked for 100,000 yuan.

Yang Hongjun's face was also very ugly at this time, but he still forced a smile and said, "Brother Long, this is not in line with the rules of your underworld, so how about this, I will give Brother Long and Brother Hu 5,000 yuan each for tea money, and let this matter go like this, okay?"

"No, if you say one hundred thousand, it's one hundred thousand. If you say you want to change it, you can change it. Who do you think we are? I tell you clearly, if you don't give it to me, I will bring people to smash it every time you open this store in the future. I want to see whether you can renovate faster or I can smash it faster." Ah Hu, who was standing aside, heard what Yang Hongjun said and said without thinking.

After hearing what Ah Hu said, Yang Hongjun's face became so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

"Ah Hu, what do I teach you usually? Didn't I tell you not to push the situation too far? So, Yang Hongjun, kneel down and call you Lord Long and Lord Tiger twice, and this matter will be over." Ah Long saw Yang Hongjun's expression from the side and said, his face became even more arrogant after he finished speaking.

The people watching the show all looked at Yang Hongjun. At this time, Yang Hongjun lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Do you keep your word?" Yang Hongjun suddenly raised his head, his eyes were already red.

"Of course it counts. Making the former military commander kneel down and call me grandpa is something that even one million yuan couldn't accomplish before. Although it has depreciated now, it still makes me feel good." A'long said arrogantly.

When Yang Hongjun heard what A Long said, he closed his eyes and prepared to kneel down. I really couldn't bear to watch it anymore. You know, when Yang Hongjun was in his prime, he was quite nice to me. Naturally, I couldn't let him be humiliated like this now.

"Stop." I slapped the table and stood up and said.

All the people who had been focusing on Yang Hongjun now looked at me. I didn't think about anything else, so I rushed over and slammed the desks of A-Long and A-Hu, saying, "Fuck you two idiots. You want 100,000 yuan? There's an Industrial and Commercial Bank across the street. Why don't you go and rob it?"

"This is easier than robbing a bank and there's no risk." Aaron said with a smile when he heard what I said.

I ignored him, helped Yang Hongjun up from his kneeling position, and said harshly, "Boss Yang, your kneeling will ruin your ambition. How can you make a comeback in the future? Ten thousand things are small, but if you lose your fighting spirit, you will really have nothing."
