The car drove out of the city. Old Yan's driving skills were good, and Shen Bing's anti-reconnaissance ability helped us avoid their pursuit all the way. We didn't dare to stop until we reached a nearby town called Longlou. I got off the car first and bought Shen Bing a set of clothes at a clothing store. Then we got off the car together and asked her to change out of her wedding dress in the car. Otherwise, it would be very eye-catching to wear it.
The economy of the town near the provincial capital is quite developed, even more prosperous than our county town. Several main streets are built very wide, with many shops and people, making it very lively.
We parked the car outside a steamed bun shop, bought steamed buns and water, and ate in the car. We didn't know what to do now. We couldn't go back to the provincial capital because on the way, the three of them said that the Gao family was more powerful than the underworld, and that they were involved in both the black and white worlds. If we offended the Gao family, we would have no chance of survival.
I feel very sorry to Lao Yan and Lu Fei, because my impulsiveness has implicated them. They cannot return home, and they have to follow me everywhere like thieves, and they cannot feel at ease.
Old Yan was quite open-minded. He smiled at my apology and said, "It's nothing. People like us who are in the underworld are bound to run into trouble someday. Besides, we are friends. If we were friends, we shouldn't say such polite words."
Lu Fei also echoed: "Yes, yes, if you are a friend, you should stick by your side. I came here from the mountains because I helped a friend and offended the local evil forces. I had no choice but to leave my hometown."
I was very touched by their loyalty, but I felt that Lu Fei's words of "sticking his neck out for you" were a little insincere. It was all for Shen Bing, otherwise he probably wouldn't have stuck his neck out for me. I thanked them and looked at Shen Bing, wondering why she wanted to marry Gao Song, but I couldn't ask this question because I was facing Old Yan and Lu Fei.
The girl seemed to understand what I meant. She curled her lips, looked worried, and said, "I married Gao Song this time entirely for Team Leader Long and my cousin."
We were all shocked at the same time. Old Yan and Long Shaohui have been friends for many years, but we didn't expect such a thing to happen. Old Yan frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
I was also curious and asked, "When did you get a cousin?"
Shen Bing sniffed and said to me, "Lend me your shoulder and let me cry."
I pointed to my shoulder and said, "My shoulder is always ready for you."
Lu Fei, who was originally sitting in the front seat, leaned back halfway and said, "Come and borrow mine. I'm stronger than him."
You are so strong, I pushed him back angrily. Shen Bing might have felt wronged, she leaned on my shoulder and started to sob. While crying, she talked about the reason why she married Gao Song.
It turns out that this matter is not only related to Long Shaohui and Zhang Yunfeng, but also to me. Because Gao Song has taken a fancy to Shen Bing and is determined to marry her. After I brought Ermao back from the provincial capital, Gao Song has been using various means to put pressure on Long Shaohui and Shen Bing. After Shen Bing went to Xiangxi and came back, she ran to my house for vacation, all to avoid Gao Song's harassment.
But she was not safe just hiding. Gao Song used despicable means to involve Long Shaohui in a drug trafficking case and created a fake scene, making Long Shaohui the helper behind the drug trafficking. The evidence was in Gao Song's hands. In addition, Zhang Yunfeng, Shen Bing's only distant cousin in the provincial capital, was also coerced by Gao Song. If Shen Bing did not marry him, Zhang Yunfeng would also die.
