Shen Kuo packed up Chen Yueqin, walked through several winding and narrow streets under the deserted moonlight, and came to an old and dilapidated shop.

The lock on the shop door was unlocked. He pushed the door open and entered, making a harsh "squeak" in the quiet night.

The ceiling was lit by cold white bulbs, the light was dim and unclear. The narrow room was filled with all kinds of dishes, and several linen bags were bundled and piled haphazardly in the corner.

When Shen Kuo walked in, he knocked over a stack of CDs in front of him, making a "clatter" sound.

The boy in the black vest was bending over to sort his linen pockets. Hearing the noise, he turned around to see Shen Kuo and said in surprise: "Brother Shen, why are you here?"

"Come and take a look." Shen Kuo covered his nose and resisted the desire to sneeze.

"Hey, I just got some goods here, you can sit down wherever you want."

The boy's name is Zhong Kai. He is about the same age as Shen Kuo. He dropped out of school in his early years due to family circumstances. Now he is engaged in various small businesses. He can often be seen among the vendors under the overpass, always trying to win over Shen Kuo. Go to the sea with him to cause trouble.

"Brother Shen, why do you have time to come and sit here with me?"

Because they were young, Shen Kuo didn't mince words with him and said, "I want to do business with you and make some money."

Zhong Kai raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Didn't you set up a dance hall with Wu Qiang and the others? Why, the dance hall doesn't make money?"

"No, it's very profitable." Shen Kuo's eyes turned cold: "But I am planning to withdraw my shares. After I withdraw my shares, I will do some business with you."

"Why?"

It is very unlike his style to ignore the business of making money.

"They did some bad things." Shen Kuo said solemnly: "I will find evidence and make them pay the price."

Zhong Kai had also heard about the fire in Entertainment Street. Wu Qiang was usually a gangster, so the fire was probably related to him.

As a young man, Zhong Kai certainly supported Shen Kuo in withdrawing his shares and staying away from these ruffians.

"But Brother Shen, doing business is very hard. You leave early and come back late. You have to go to school, so you may not have that much time."

Shen Kuo took a chair and sat over, lit a cigarette, and said casually: "This semester is over, I'm quitting."

"What, what, what?! Drop out of school?"

Zhong Kai looked at Shen Kuo's silent expression and suddenly felt a little unsure. In the past, he always wanted Shen Kuo to drop out of school and work with him, but Shen Kuo never let go.

Shen Kuo is not like Zhong Kai. Zhong Kai couldn't study on his own, so he dropped out of school to start a business.

Shen Kuo not only likes to study, but also has a good brain and good grades. Even if his spare time is delayed by work, his grades are among the best.

Now that he suddenly said that he didn't want to read it anymore, Zhong Kai felt a little panicked.

"Is my uncle's condition getting worse again? If you have any difficulties, just talk to your brother!"

Shen Kuo pondered for a moment and said only a few words: "I want to make some money."

"Aren't you always making money?" Zhong Kai broke the casserole and asked: "Besides, uncle's illness is covered by pension, so there is no need for you to drop out of school."

"Too slow, not enough." Shen Kuo narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "I am too poor."

She was so poor that even looking at her would be offensive.

Not worthy.

Zhong Kai has known Shen Kuo for ten years. Even if his family conditions are not very good, he has always been confident because he works hard enough and can earn everything he wants with his hands.

This was the first time he saw such slight confusion and inferiority in Shen Kuo's eyes.

Shen Kuo is confused for only one reason.

Zhong Kai looked at him in disbelief: "Is it possible that you have fallen in love with some girl?"

Shen Kuo casually picked up a CD, which was the movie "Happy Together" by Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung.

His eyes were narrowed, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he didn't respond.

In the afternoon, Lu Yan went to the Entertainment Street to find Shen Kuo, hoping to return the one hundred yuan her brother had given her to Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo worked very hard, and one hundred yuan was not a small amount for him.

The burned underground dance hall had not yet been repaired, and the black ash could still be seen on the outer wall of the stairway. There were no casualties in such a fire. Lu Yan was really lucky.

Although Lu Zhen did not do it kindly by setting up a stage to sing against Shen Kuo.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fire is definitely related to the song and dance hall opposite.

The police also came to investigate several partners of this song and dance hall, such as the largest shareholders Wu Qiang and Zhao Shen, but they were suspicious and had no choice but to give up without evidence.

The arsonist knew that a fire in the basement would be inconvenient to evacuate people, and that a slight mistake could lead to widespread casualties, but he didn't care. This shows how vicious his intentions are.

The culprits must be found out and punished by law.

Lu Yan was thinking this in her mind when she suddenly saw Shen Kuo's tall figure entering the song and dance hall opposite. He disappeared before she could stop him.

Lu Yan had no choice but to follow him into the dance hall.

Lu Zhen's song and dance hall was just for fun, but this song and dance hall is open for serious business, so all aspects of the equipment are more advanced, the venue is large, and the decoration is more luxurious.

Because of the fire, the business of this dance hall became very good. There were many young men and women dancing in the arc-shaped venue, and there was a band performance on the high platform in the middle.

She listened to Qi Yu Zhi Deng Yu Xing Juan Juan Zhu Zhu Can Orang Clam u Tomb Sha Xun Yun Xi＠ COO Zheng Zheng Zhuan Lotus

In the arc booth in the middle, there were several men drinking. Lu Yan recognized them at a glance. They were several shareholders and bosses of the dance hall. Among them, the one with the scar on his face was named Wu Qiang. The one sitting next to him was Zhao.

What's more, I heard that they are not good people.

When Wu Qiang saw Shen Kuo coming over, he raised his hand and said, "Xiao Shen, come and sit here."

Shen Kuo walked over, and the woman in a sequined skirt next to Wu Qiang immediately gave up her seat to Shen Kuo, and at the same time poured him a full glass of beer and brought it to him.

Wu Qiang shouted: "If you are late, you will be fined for drinking!"

A false smile appeared on Shen Kuo's face, and he took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Happy! I just like to deal with happy people like you, Xiao Shen! Come on, Xiaoni, pour him another drink."

The curly-haired woman in a sequined skirt poured Shen Kuo several more glasses of wine, and he didn't refuse. He drank every glass he had.

The men around him clapped their hands and applauded.

They liked to drink wine to Shen Kuo. Firstly, they teased and teased him to see that he was still a student. Secondly, after drinking, people would become careless in their speech.

Lu Yan saw that Shen Kuo was having so much fun with them, so she probably couldn't rely on him to catch the arsonist.

In fact, Lu Yan could understand, after all, he still had shares in this dance hall, and people were like this, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Just when Lu Yan felt bored and was about to leave, she suddenly heard Shen Kuo say: "Brother Wang, you did a great job in the song and dance hall opposite."

Her steps suddenly stopped.

It's unbelievable that Shen Kuo would actually... say this.

There was a hint of defensiveness in Wang Qiang's eyes, and he poured him another glass of wine: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Shen Kuo picked up the wine glass and touched the bottom of his glass gently: "Brother Wang, there is no need to hide it from me. That kid Lu Zhen came for me and stole the jackpot of our opening. I hate him too."

Wang Qiang looked at Shen Kuo and saw that he was indeed a little drunk. He felt relieved and said: "That kid Lu Zhen brought it upon himself. He dared to go against us because his father had some money, so he didn't get burned to death."

Inside, consider him lucky."

Hearing this, Lu Yan clenched her hands into fists.

Just then, a waiter walked up to her and asked her what she wanted to drink.

Lu Yan put on the hood of her sweater, pulled up the collar, then casually walked to the single seat next to them and ordered a cocktail.

Shen Kuo poured a glass of wine for Zhao Shen and asked with a smile: "What did Brother Zhao say?"

Zhao Shen was relatively simple-minded. After a few glasses of wine, he began to brag: "I asked people to set the fire. Huh, I just want to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. I want everyone on this street to know that if you go against my brothers,

No good fruit to eat!"

The wine glass in Lu Yan's hand suddenly fell to the ground with a "crash" sound.

Fortunately, the dance hall was full of people and the music was loud, so no one noticed it. Only Shen Kuo turned his head and looked in the direction where she was.

Wu Qiang directly threw wine in Zhao Shen's face and shouted: "What are you talking about? You must be too drunk. What does the fire in the Lu Zhen Dance Hall have to do with you? Stop talking nonsense here."

Zhao Shen suddenly sobered up after being splashed with wine, and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm talking nonsense, I'm talking nonsense!"

Lu Yan stood up and was about to leave. She had to quickly report what she had just heard to the police. The perpetrators of the arson were Zhao Shen and Wu Qiang.

However, at this moment, a young man walked up to Lu Yan and asked, "Little beauty, why don't you dance for a while?"

"No jumping, no jumping, I'm going home." Lu Yan pulled up her collar and left sideways.

The young man seemed not to let her go easily, and pestered her: "It's too boring to go home so early!"

"Well, because there is something going on at home." Lu Yan just wanted to leave quickly to avoid being recognized by Wu Qiang and the others.

"It's not too late to go after playing for a while." The young man grabbed Lu Yan's slender wrist and looked like he was going to play hooligan.

Wu Qiang noticed the entanglement between men and women at the next table, and said to his subordinate: "Go and see what's going on. The wind is very tight at this time, so don't let anything happen."

"I go."

Shen Kuo stood up first and walked toward Lu Yan with long strides.

…

Lu Yan frowned and struggled to break free from the man's shackles. She didn't want to cause any noise, so she lowered her voice and said, "Let go!"

The young man seemed to be drunk, and he pestered Lu Yan and refused to let go. At this moment, a hand fell on the young man's wrist, and pulled him off Lu Yan's wrist.

The young man yelled at Shen Kuo angrily: "Hey, first come first served, do you understand? I fell in love with this girl first."

If Shen Kuo's usual temperament was different, he might just break his dirty hands, but now... he didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he put his arms around Lu Yan's shoulders and pulled her towards him.

With a hoop in his arms, he said in a deep voice -

"Excuse me, my woman."

Lu Yan looked up at Shen Kuo in surprise. The young man's face was downcast and his eyes were sharp. When he said these words, there was no expression at all.

When the young man heard what Shen Kuo said and saw Lu Yan cuddling in his arms so obediently, although he was unwilling to do so, he couldn't insist on it, so he had no choice but to give up.

Like a little quail, Lu Yan huddled in Shen Kuo's arms and let him lead her out of the song and dance hall.
