Chapter 118 It’s dark and the road is slippery, so I’m afraid I’m going to die (please subscribe for the big chapter)
Wushang City Station.
After Gao Rui hung up the phone, his face looked a little gloomy. Behind him were two middle-aged men. One of them was responsible for carrying the luggage. The other one saw Gao Rui's expression and was a little confused. Could it be that something went wrong?
?
Gao Rui picked up his cell phone and dialed another number. He was quickly connected, but a minute later, after hanging up the phone, his expression became even more gloomy.
"Chen Ming, Li Datou, well done!"
The next moment, Gao Rui sneered. As a ghost dealer, he had a high status in the alien circle. Everywhere he went, the local laboratory and consultants would drive to pick him up and drop him off, and everything would be arranged.
This time the ghost market in Wushang City opened, and he came as a ghost dealer. In his imagination, a phone call from Chen Ming would have sent a car to pick him up, but he did not expect that Chen Ming actually said on the phone that he was busy with something right now.
If he couldn't get away, he said he could send a subordinate to pick him up in a car and arrange all the follow-up matters.
Does he lack some money for hotel accommodation and food?
What he wanted was pomp, and over the years he had become accustomed to the local laboratory fawning over him.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ming from Wushang City dared to ignore him this time.
"Call a cab."
Gao Rui spoke coldly to a middle-aged man behind him. The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this. Every time he went out with the young master, he was always picked up by a car. This was the first time he took a taxi.
"What, are you deaf? Can't you hear me?"
Seeing that his entourage didn't respond, Gao Rui yelled, and the entourage quickly picked up his mobile phone and started to take a taxi. However, when another middle-aged man saw this scene, his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.
Su Chongmin was really thinking about something. He had not known Mr. Gao for a long time, but he knew that Mr. Gao had great energy and was very popular all over the country. By chance, he followed Mr. Gao to several cities.
, wherever you go, there will be a special car driving directly to the station to pick you up.
He wasn't sure which department those cars came from, but all he needed to know was that being able to drive the cars to the entrance was not something that ordinary departments could do.
And this time, he also heard that Young Master Gao was coming to Wushang City. As a native of Wushang City, he took this opportunity to go with Young Master Gao, hoping to have a deeper connection with Young Master Gao.
Although I don't know why Wushang City didn't send a car to pick up Young Master Gao this time, judging from the phone number that Young Master Gao made earlier, it seems that Young Master Gao is also very energetic in Wushang City, but he may have encountered some unexpected situation.
But this happened to be his opportunity, an opportunity for him to perform in front of Young Master Gao.
"Young Master Gao, my hometown is in Wushang City, and I have some wealth. Of course, I can't compare with you, Young Master Gao. You see, I'll call home and arrange a car to pick you up, and take you there by the way."
"Fine."
Gao Rui glanced at Su Chongmin and finally nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Su Chongmin quickly picked up his mobile phone and walked aside to make a call.
…
…
A private room in the banquet hall of a luxury hotel in Wushang City.
Su Chongmin looked at the second brother and his niece who were hurriedly arriving, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why does it take so long?"
"Uncle, I just went home and took a shower, so I was delayed." Su Yi listened to her uncle's words and explained to her father.
Just when she arrived home, her father received a call from his uncle, saying that a noble man had come to Wushang City. He set up a bureau to pick up the noble man in the evening and called his father to accompany him.
Because my mother went to my grandma's house and there was no one else at home, my father brought me here with him. I was a little tired after a long ride and just took a shower, so I was a little late.
"Xiaoyi, your status as a noble this time is no small matter. I'm not worried about your father. I'm just afraid that you are young and ignorant and say the wrong thing."
"Uncle, I'm not a child anymore. How can I talk nonsense? In the worst case, I won't talk and will just eat food. Let's see what you two brothers say."
Su Yi stuck out her tongue, but the uncle's words also made her a little curious about the identity of the person in the box. For such a stable person like the uncle, he can be called a noble man, and he is so excited. What is the origin of this?
"In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful. If we have good dealings with this noble man, there will be no problem for our family to move to the next level."
After Su Chongmin finished explaining, he pushed open the door of the box. Gao Rui was a little impatient in the box, but when he saw Su Yi coming in behind him, his eyes lit up.
"Young Master Gao, let me introduce you. This is my brother and this is my niece. I didn't call anyone outside today."
"We are all members of the family, and the people in the family are good, so you can sit wherever you want."
Gao Rui took the words with a smile and looked at Su Yi. The moment Su Yi came in, she felt some meaning in the eyes of Young Master Gao. She felt a little uncomfortable for a moment and walked to stand next to Young Master Gao.
I sat down at the farthest seat.
On the left side of this position is my father, which happens to block the young man's sight.
When Gao Rui saw where Su Yi was sitting, the smile on his face became colder, and he cursed in his heart, are all the people in Wushang City so ignorant?
Chen Ming is like this, and so is this girl.
Su Chongmin also felt a little bit of Gao Rui's dissatisfaction. However, although he wanted to curry favor with Gao Rui, he would not go so far as to sell his niece. But if Mr. Gao and his niece could be together, it would definitely be a good thing for the Su family.
Great thing.
Xiao Yi has just graduated from college and is relatively simple. She doesn't know that in this society, sometimes even a lifetime of hard work is not as useful as a noble person's words.
It is said that small wealth depends on earning, medium wealth depends on luck, and big wealth depends on life.
This destiny refers to noble people. Without the help of noble people, they can only reach the middle level at most. And the Su family is already in the middle level. If you want to go up, you must rely on noble people.
"Xiaoyi, you don't know Mr. Gao. Mr. Gao and I have been to several cities. Every time we go to a city, Mr. Gao has friends to receive him, and they are not ordinary friends. Whether it is the airport or the high-speed rail station,
The ones you go through are all VIP channels, not the kind of VIP channels that you can get in if you have money."
Su Chongmin knew that his niece knew more about certain aspects than ordinary young people because of the influence of his second son and his wife. His niece should be able to understand the meaning of what he said.
Su Yi did understand, but what she thought of was the tall and handsome boy she met at the train station earlier.
"Ahem, I can't help it. I have many friends all over the place, so everyone should give me some respect. When I come to Wushang City this time, I don't want to be too high-profile. I just want my friends to go about their business and not come to pick me up."
Gao Rui would not have said this if Su Yi was not here. He also wanted to show his strength in front of Su Yi.
As a ghost businessman, he is not short of money, but he knows that for girls with certain backgrounds, money is nothing. The Su family is obviously such a family.
However, Gao Rui also knew his own affairs. He went to various places because the laboratories in various places were trying to curry favor with him. After all, as a ghost trader, the laboratories often asked them for help, but he did not join the laboratory as a consultant.
The reason is simple. After becoming a consultant, many things can no longer ask for such exorbitant prices. This is something he cannot accept.
If we really talk about power, usually these laboratories will give face to trivial matters, but if it involves more important matters, those laboratories may not necessarily give face.
But of course, he would not tell the Su family about the situation inside. This girl from the Su family is good, but he is just playing for fun. As a ghost businessman, it is impossible to marry her, because it means that he will have everything for himself.
Tell the other party the details.
Listening to Gao Rui's pretentious words, Su Yi didn't know why, but she felt even more disgusted, and asked in a strange way: "Young Master Gao, what kind of car does your friend drive, and what's the license plate?"
"What kind of car is it? It's a private commercial car. The license plate is 99946."
99946, this is a license plate unique to each local laboratory.
Su Yi was stunned. She was biting the milk straw and accidentally let the milk flow out of the corner of her mouth. She quickly wiped it with a tissue. This scene made Gao Rui look a little evil.
99946. If she remembered correctly, the young man at the high-speed rail station must have taken a car with this license plate.
For a moment, she felt that her uncle might have been deceived. He must not be a liar.
"This license plate is quite good. When I just left the high-speed rail station, I seemed to see this car, a commercial car, picking up a person and leaving through the VIP channel."
Su Yi deliberately told this matter to see Gao Rui's reaction. As she guessed, Gao Rui's whole face darkened. However, it was not because she had guessed that his lie was exposed and his face darkened, but because of her.
The content of the words.
Chen Ming sent a car to pick up someone at the high-speed rail station, but he told himself on the phone that he was not available. Could it be that there is someone more important than him?
Forget about normal times, now that the ghost market in Wushang City is about to start, he is the most important person.
"Chen Ming, I remember."
Gao Rui's eyes shone with a cold luster, and the atmosphere in the box suddenly dropped to the bottom because of Su Yi's words. No matter how Su Zhongmin tried to adjust the atmosphere, Su Yi was still eating by herself, and Gao Rui didn't even have food in the end.
They all just had a few bites and then left the table.
"Young Master Gao, I'll give it to you!"
"No."
Seeing Gao Rui leaving, Su Chongmin looked at his niece helplessly: "Xiaoyi, why are you..."
"Uncle, what I said is true. Moreover, I think our family is quite good like this. It is already very good compared to many families. Going above and beyond may not necessarily be a good thing."
"Boss, what Xiaoyi said is not unreasonable. The mountains are high and the wind is strong, so there is no need for us to take this risk."
Su Yi's father also echoed. Su Chongmin listened to the words of the father and daughter and sighed: "Of course I know that our family is doing well now, but with the current situation, it can only last for three generations at most. After three generations...
"
"Uncle, after three generations, it will be three generations later. People say that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If it really doesn't work by then, it will be a matter for future generations. You, you will have to worry so much."
Su Yi stepped forward and hugged Su Chongmin. Su Chongmin also sighed helplessly, "That's it, that's it."
…
…
night!
Today's Wushang City is quieter than before.
Many entertainment venues closed early, including some late-night snack bars. They had received notices from above a few days ago and were not allowed to open too late these days. The originally bustling Wushang Street was suddenly closed.
It's quieted down.
Su Yi looked at her best friend with some helplessness: "I also want to show you the night culture of our Wushang City, but you have also seen it. For some reason, all the lively places in the past are closed."
After eating in the hotel, Su Yi said goodbye to her father and uncle, and made an appointment with the female classmate who came to Wushang City by car with her. This female classmate was not from Wushang City, and she came to Wushang City this time.
Shangshi submitted his resume at school and received an interview invitation from a company in Wushang City.
"Su Yi, you guys are so quiet this night. With these buildings, it's quite scary."
Zhang Yixin looked at the surrounding buildings. Wushang City's economic development is very good, but unlike those economically developed cities, Wushang City does not have many high-rise buildings. Instead, there are mostly old alleys from the 1980s and 1990s.
, under the lighting at night, it is very suitable for shooting some suspenseful horror dramas of the Republic of China.
"I'm used to it. How about I take you for a walk to experience the late-night Republican culture in Wushang City."
"Let's forget it. I seem a bit cautious. Since there is no place to play, let's go back." Zhang Yixin was a little scared, so Su Yi stopped joking. She knew that her best friend was timid.
But just as the two were about to leave, a cough suddenly came from the depths of the alley not far away, and Su Yi looked deeper into the alley.
"Did someone cough just now? Yi Xin, did you hear it?"
"Have it?"
Zhang Yixin shook her head and said she didn't hear anything. Su Yi showed her attitude of listening carefully and then walked towards the alley.
"It can't be wrong. I did hear it. I'll go over and have a look."
Seeing that Su Yi was about to walk into the alley, Zhang Yixin was a little afraid and held Su Yi's hand: "No, it's so dark there."
"It's okay, this alley is not deep."
As a native of Wushang City, Su Yi has long lost her fear of these alleys and said with a smile: "Besides, I still have you. Just stand here. If anything happens, call the police."
After saying that, Su Yi let go of Zhang Yixin's hand and walked towards the alley. Only a few meters into the alley, she saw a figure lying on the ground. She could see with the faint light that it was an old man.
"Old man, why did you fall here?"
Seeing this, Su Yi quickly stepped forward to help and helped the old man up from the ground. The old man said with a grateful face: "Thank you, little girl, can you take me back."
"Old man, where do you live?"
"I live over there on Chengnan Street."
"Chengnan Street is not far away. I can take you back."
Su Yi helped the old man out of the alley and walked along the Chengnan Street path in her memory. What was strange was that she seemed to have forgotten the existence of her best friend Zhang Yixin, and what was strange was that Zhang Yixin was not waiting at the entrance of the alley.
Ten minutes later, Su Yi noticed lights appearing in front of her, followed by lively sounds. When she got closer, she realized it was a market.
A market at night?
"Little girl, there is a market here. Grandma wants to buy something. Why don't you accompany me to see it?"
"Ah good!"
Su Yi helped the old woman into the market. The lively market gave her a familiar feeling like going to the market with her grandma when she was a child.
"This thing is beautiful, little girl, can you buy it for me? I don't have any money, I will give it to you when I get home later."
The old woman pointed to a comb. Su Yi nodded, walked over, picked it up and asked the merchant about the price: "Boss, how much does this cost?"
"This is cheap and doesn't cost much, just give it as you see."
Su Yi didn't expect there to be such a vendor, so she asked the old woman, "Mother-in-law, do you want this?"
"Yes, yes, then thank you little girl."
The old woman took the comb and smiled happily. Su Yi was about to take out her mobile phone to pay the boss, but she felt all over her body and found that her mobile phone had gone somewhere?
"What, didn't you bring any money?"
The vendor looked at Su Yi with a smile, and the old woman also smiled. The wrinkles on her face were wrinkled together at the moment. There was no kindness of spare money, but it was full of coldness.
"I...I can't find my cell phone for a while. Why don't you, boss, call me on your cell phone and I'll ask my friend to send me money."
"No Money."
The boss smiled happily: "If you don't have money, you can use other things to repay it, such as your..."
The boss put his hand on his chest...
"Why did you come to the market at night? Didn't you bring any money? I'll pay for it for you."
A voice sounded from behind, and Su Yi turned around quickly. She was pleasantly surprised when she saw the handsome guy she met at the train station.
"Yes...I forgot to bring money."
Su Yi blushed, and when she turned around, she found her boss's hand on her chest, stroking it back and forth, as if she didn't know where to put her hand.
Su Yi was confused by the boss's behavior. Isn't the boss cold this late at night?
What she didn't know was that the moment she heard the voice and turned around, the boss's hand inserted into her chest, and blood flowed out from the torn skin. However, the moment Lin Ye's figure appeared, the boss again
Silently he took his hand out, and his chest returned to its original state.
"I...I don't want this comb anymore."
The old woman quickly threw the comb back to the stall, and then looked at Lin Ye with some fear.
Lin Ye's eyes wandered over the vendor boss and the old woman for a few times, and he said lightly: "Since you don't want it anymore, let this girl take you back. It's dark at night and the road is slippery. You're so old, so be careful if you fall."
He died."
The old woman trembled and nodded hurriedly, but Su Yi was a little angry. This handsome guy looked handsome, but why did he speak so rudely to an old man?
"Girl, girl, please take me back."
Perhaps feeling that Su Yi was about to argue with Lin Ye, the old woman quickly grabbed Su Yi and dragged her away. Only then did Su Yi realize that her strength was not as strong as that of an old woman, and she was dragged away forcefully.
