The three figures walking into the restaurant are different in height, fat and thin.
The leader was a tall and thin man with cold eyes and a rigid face. The two behind him were a short and thin man, and the other was a tall and fat man.
When the two of them saw the middle-aged man, excitement suddenly appeared on their faces, especially the tall fat man, who was about to rush up.
However, he was stopped by the leader.
Obviously, among the trio, the leader has considerable prestige.
With just one look, the tall fat man quietly followed behind and walked to the bar.
"What's there to eat?"
The tall and thin man asked Qin Ran, his voice was clear, but his tone was very indifferent, even a little scary.
But Qin Ran was not moved at all, and replied in his usual indifferent tone.
"It's on the sign outside."
The tall and thin man frowned.
He looked at Qin Ran's indifference in surprise, but immediately reported the food he needed.
"Three servings of salt and pepper shrimp, three servings of fried rice, and three servings of chicken soup."
The tall and thin man said.
"Pay first."
"No credit."
Qin Ran didn't get up, he still sat there and said.
Facing Qin Ran's attitude, the two people standing behind the tall and thin man couldn't hold back their anger. However, before the tall and thin man made a signal, they didn't move, and just looked at Qin Ran fiercely.
"How many?"
The tall and thin man asked very patiently.
"Salt and pepper shrimp meal 50, fried rice 15, chicken soup 10, three servings of each, a total of 225."
Qin Ran quoted the price.
"Give money."
The tall and thin man said to the short and thin man behind him.
Immediately, the other party slapped the exact amount of money on the bar counter.
"Your food better be worth the price, or..."
Threatening words uttered from the short and thin man's mouth, combined with the opponent's triangular eyes, looked very intimidating.
It's just that it's useless to Qin Ran.
Qin Ran just remained motionless, looking at him calmly.
one second.
two seconds.
three seconds.
…
My trouser chain is not pulled
Or is there something on my face
About five seconds later, the short and thin man twisted his body unnaturally, and subconsciously began to check himself for any problems.
When it was confirmed that there was no problem, the other party immediately looked at Qin Ran in embarrassment.
"You fool me?"
"Enough, sit down."
Just when the short and thin man raised his arm, the tall and thin man spoke again.
"You're lucky!"
The short and thin man snorted coldly, walked to the corner of the restaurant, and sat down with his two companions.
Qin Ran picked up the money on the bar, counted it again, and put it into the money box. Then, he began to bring the meals prepared by Mimosa to the corner.
The three people who had been talking with their heads down immediately stopped talking, and their eyes were all on the food.
Soon, the fat man couldn't wait to pick up his share.
"tasty!"
After taking a bite, the fat man began to munch on it.
The short and thin man among the other two waited for more than ten minutes. After seeing that the fat man was fine, he couldn't wait to pick up his share.
Only tall and thin men are different.
He looked at the food in front of him, kept swallowing, and his Adam's apple kept moving up and down, but he never moved his chopsticks.
Sometimes, after suffering a loss, some people will soon forget it.
And some people will remember it for a lifetime.
The tall and thin man is such a person.
Even after fleeing in embarrassment for a day, the hunger is unbearable.
The tall and thin man was also enduring. He turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man, trying to divert his attention.
Under the watchful eyes of the tall and thin man, the middle-aged man, who was still a little downcast, quickly became awkward.
The middle-aged man twisted his body uneasily, and looked at Qin Ran for help.
However, Kieran turned a blind eye and 'listened' to the TV while flipping through the newspaper in his hand.
In the end, the middle-aged man stood up a little unbearably, and was about to leave, but the middle-aged man who had just stood up thought of what happened to him just now.
Immediately, the middle-aged man sat down dejectedly.
Seeing the behavior of the middle-aged man, the tall and thin man immediately sneered.
He stood up from the corner, walked to the bar, and sat down beside the middle-aged man in such a generous way.
"Not feeling well?"
"Deot."
The tall and thin man spoke directly.
"you know me?"
The middle-aged man was taken aback.
"certainly!"
"Of course I know you!"
"You know, not long ago, we were still close partners!"
"We were in charge of the operations, you were in charge of the logistics and the driving, and everything went so smoothly until you put sleeping pills in our drinks, in our food."
The tall, thin man laughed.
The laughter was sharp and piercing, like an owl at night, making one's scalp tingle.
"what are you saying?"
"What partner?"
"I don't know you at all!"
Amidst such laughter, the middle-aged man leaned against the bar in panic.
"Of course you know what I said."
"Otherwise why are we here?"
"Do you really think we'll take no precautions?"
"You have always had a tracker on your car. Even if you intentionally caused a car accident in order to avoid us and came to your real lair, do you really think you can avoid us?"
The tall and thin man looked at Qin Ran while talking.
"Am i right?"
"The messenger behind De Ott."
"Or… "
"The big boss behind the scenes?"
As the tall and thin man spoke, the malice in his eyes became more intense, and the two companions in the corner simply took out their guns from their backpacks.
The short, thin and fat man held an automatic gun and pointed the gun at Kieran and the middle-aged man diagonally.
Cooperate tacitly.
The position is familiar.
And Kieran
Still without any action, just sitting in the chair and looking at each other.
"As expected of the big boss behind the scenes."
"Just by this calmness, I admire you."
"But...you should never have chosen to blackmail us."
As the tall and thin man spoke, he took out a pistol.
However, the gun was aimed at the middle-aged man.
"Do you have a daughter, Deot?"
"You love her very much, don't you?"
"rest assured!"
"If I kill you, I will go find her and let her go down to accompany you!"
The tall and thin man spoke slowly.
He wants to make this traitor regret it!
Let the other party be afraid!
Let the other party fear!
Therefore, the tall and thin man tried his best to speak slowly and calmly, while at the same time, the tall and thin man's eyes were fixed on Qin Ran.
Tall and thin men never pay attention to pawns like Deot.
In fact, after finishing this vote, he was ready to kill the opponent.
De Aote wants to get the other party's share of money from him
Totally impossible!
But what he didn't expect was that De Aote, who had always been submissive, had the guts to put drugs in their drinks and food.
Moreover, he was so bold that he called the police.
For a moment, he wondered whether De Aote's previous performance was a disguise to paralyze them.
However, the moment he saw Qin Ran, he knew it.
De Ott was still a pawn.
A pawn carefully selected by the man in front of him.
The purpose is to blackmail them!
Look at the other party's indifference and calmness.
When facing him, it still hasn't changed.
There is also that kind of faint breath, which he only felt in some notorious butchers and executioners, and De Ott appeared here.
Everything is clear!
But the other party is really careless!
In order to pretend, he actually stayed here alone!
Maybe it's confidence in your own skills
But facing two automatic weapons, no matter how good your skills are, what's the use.
"you really… "
The tall and thin man who thought he understood everything looked at Qin Ran and was about to say something, but before he could say anything, he felt a chill.
It is different from the severe cold in winter.
This kind of cold is the chill that makes the soul tremble after it touches the skin.
But what shocked him the most was that such bleakness came from De Aote!
The shock in his heart didn't make the tall and thin man hesitate, he pulled the trigger without thinking about it.
Can…
His hands were seized and his fingers were frozen.
Deot grabbed the tall and thin man with a distorted face
"You are not allowed to hurt Ellie!"
"I won't allow you to hurt Ellie!"
Dreamlike murmurs came from De Ott's mouth, the tall and thin man's palms creaked as he was squeezed, and the cold breath spread all over his body.
"Boss!"
The remaining two people exclaimed, raised their hands and raised their guns.
But an invisible chain is faster.
Passing through the void, the arms of the two people were discounted.
Click, click!
With a crisp sound, the firearms in the hands of the two fell to the ground, and then their bodies collided heavily, and they fell unconscious on the ground.
Plop, plop!
The continuous sound woke up Deot.
Looking at the dying tall and thin man in his hands, De Aote was no longer as depressed as before. With a wry smile, he threw the tall and thin man in his hand to the ground.
"Am I really dead?"
"yes."
"I've always wanted to die."
"What's more, under such circumstances, how can I not die?"
Deot raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the restaurant, as if talking to himself, but also as if speaking to Qin Ran.
Then, De Aote turned around and bowed to Qin Ran.
"I'm sorry to cause you trouble."
"Please forgive my recklessness."
"I already thought I was careful, but I still missed something. I'm really... sorry."
As Deot spoke, he began to drag the three people on the ground out.
Qin Ran, who was flipping through the newspaper, didn't even glance at it.
Not to mention asking where it was dragged and how to deal with it.
In Kieran's eyes, some guys really deserve what they deserve.
It can't be overdone.
After a while, Deot returned to the restaurant again.
The other party was still sitting where he had been sitting before, waiting quietly.
About half an hour later, a familiar figure walked in.
"Mr. Deot?"
Amy tentatively asked the middle-aged man sitting there.
"yes."
Deot nodded.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Amy."
"How do you feel about finding an out-of-the-way, unobtrusive place, as you requested?"
"Now can you tell me the breaking news you said?"
Amy pointed around.
Qin Ran, who had been expressionless all this time, raised his eyebrows.
He finally knew why De Aote came here.
It turned out to be because of the broom star.
Seeing Qin Ran's raised eyebrows, De Aote immediately showed an apologetic expression.
Then, he simply said to Amy.
"Ms. Amy, do you know about today's gold shop robbery?"
"Know!"
"Is this the news you want to tell me?"
Amy's eyes lit up.
She just received a call at noon that wanted to break the news. If the other party hadn't promised that it was really big news, and she could choose the place and time at will, Amy would have ignored this call at all.
But now it seems that the bet was right.
"Yes."
"That's the news of the robbery."
"In fact, I am one of the participants in this robbery. Don't worry, I have no malice towards you. I am here to ask for help."
Deot looked at Amy who stood up nervously, and immediately explained.
"You should seek help from the police."
"Not me!"
Amy's tone was blunt, and she distanced herself from Deo again.
"The police could help me before, but they couldn't help my daughter. She needs help from doctors and hospitals!"
"And that costs a lot of money!"
Deot smiled wryly.
"Then you shouldn't rob gold shops either!"
Amy said very firmly.
"I didn't want to really rob gold shops. I put all the things I robbed in a secret place. What I need is... the attention of the society."
"You want to raise money for charity?"
Amy reacted quickly.
"Yes."
"I'm just an ordinary taxi driver, I can't afford my daughter's expensive treatment, and I don't have the ability to make more people pay attention to me."
"Therefore, I can only create some things to make people pay attention to me and Ai Li."
Deot nodded.
"You did, without a doubt."
"But have you ever thought about what you will bear?"
"What will happen to your Ellie?"
Amy frowned.
"I deserve what I deserve."
"Ellie..."
"There is hope in life."
After a moment of silence, Deot said this.
Qin Ran didn't listen to the words after that, and glanced at Amy who was hardly drunk and started working. Qin Ran picked up the newspaper and walked into the kitchen.
He was not interested in what was said afterwards.
Instead of sitting around listening to these uninteresting things, help the mimosa with the ingredients.
The narration lasted a full hour.
Deot left first.
Amy lowered her head and listened to the recording pen, recording something with the pen in her hand.
She wants the scoop!
She can also imagine that when this exclusive report appears, she will usher in a career peak!
Of course, some processing is required.
Not modification.
It is processing.
Otherwise, there is no explosive point.
Just when Amy was racking her brains to process it, a stack of banknotes suddenly appeared in front of her.
"What do you want?"
Amy looked at Qin Ran warily.
She swore that if the other party dared to say anything outrageous, she would smash the pen in her hand on the other party's face.
"Donate."
"Ellie's."
"For the sake of the father who can risk his life for her."
Qin Ran said lightly.
After finishing speaking, he ignored Amy and flipped through the newspaper again on his own.
Amy looked at Qin Ran, and then at the coin in front of her, she frowned.
"Don't try to change my will with your actions."
Amy snorted coldly.
"Is it the will to make up?"
As Qin Ran spoke, he turned up the volume of the TV.
"On Bailu Street just now, there was another accident."
"A van hit the car that had been involved in the previous crash."
"All three people in the van died."
"The car that crashed an hour ago was damaged again, and the driver, who has already been identified, Deot, has just received unfortunate news from the hospital."
Deot? !
Amy was completely stunned, especially when Deot's picture appeared on the TV, Amy's face turned pale.
"He, he, me, I... just..."
Not a complete sentence,
"He was a good father."
"You are a reporter."
"What happened just now is a request from a good father to a reporter."
After Qin Ran finished speaking, he stopped talking, leaving Amy sitting there with a terrified, flustered and completely at a loss.
And outside the door.
Standing in the darkness, De Aote bowed to Kieran again, then turned into a little firefly and disappeared on the spot.
He wants more time.
However, he is gone.
Now is the limit.
If more...
There will be big trouble.
In any case, he didn't want Alice to have any trouble or get hurt.
So, he's leaving.
He hoped it was him.
not it.
…
The next day, just before dawn, the Ai City Morning Post was delivered to Yezhi Restaurant as scheduled.
Qin Ran took the newspaper, stretched his waist, yawned, and picked up the drowsy Mimosa.
"Let's go."
"It's time to sleep."
Qin Ran said.
"Um."
Mimosa nodded, and looked at the front page of the morning newspaper
"The father who risked his life for his daughter"
At the end, signed: Amy.
