I never expected that this was actually Cheng Xiaohu!
The moment he saw me, he immediately shouted to me: "Da Shan, you are back, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
As he said this, he wanted to stand up, but his feet seemed to be numb and he was unsteady.
I quickly stepped forward to support him and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"I'll wait for you here!"
"Wait for me? Didn't you go back to the village?" I looked at him in surprise.
"Who told you that I went back to the village?"
"Cheng Lu said it."
Cheng Xiaohu said in a daze: "Yes, I told her before that I went back to the village and lied to her."
"No, what do you mean? Why are you so dirty?"
He sighed heavily and said as if he was very aggrieved: "Do you have anything to eat? Give it to me who stutters first. I haven't eaten in two days."
I didn't say anything more and quickly opened the rolling shutter door of the warehouse. After taking him in, I found him a bucket of instant noodles and soaked them in boiling water.
He had been sitting in front of the noodles, eagerly looking at the instant noodles he was making, and kept swallowing, looking as if he hadn't eaten in several days.
I was still confused and asked him: "What's going on with you? Why did you lie to Cheng Lu that you were back in the village?"
"I don't want her to worry about me, Dashan, are these instant noodles ready?"
"Just soak it, wait a moment."
He swallowed again, looking really hungry, staring at the instant noodles eagerly.
I didn’t have anything else to eat here, but there seemed to be one ham sausage, so I went to find it and handed it to him.
But he ate the ham sausage in just two mouthfuls, and the instant noodles were soaked. The child was really hungry, so he wolfed them down as soon as he picked them up.
In less than two minutes, a bucket of instant noodles was eaten until there was no soup left.
I looked at him dumbfounded and said mechanically: "Do you still want to eat?"
He nodded sharply and said, "Dashan, I'm really hungry, do you have anything else?"
"No, let me order you a takeaway."
With that said, I took out my phone and called for him a portion of Maocai, with more rice.
While waiting for the food to be delivered, I asked him: "Now you can tell me, what happened to you? Why did you end up like this?"
He sighed: "I was cheated!"
"What do you mean? Who was deceived?"
"Do you have any cigarettes? Give me a cigarette to smoke."
I took out the cigarette and handed it to him, and he asked me for a lighter.
After lighting a cigarette, he said slowly: "I met a guy in an Internet cafe before, and he said he could take me to make a lot of money, so I went there. It turned out that it was a scam, and my mobile phone and all my belongings were confiscated.
Money is not allowed to leave. I escaped."
"Where? What do you do?"
"I don't know! It's a pyramid scheme. I don't know what it is. Anyway, it's just a group of scammers, trying to trick people everywhere."
I took a breath and said a little depressed: "Then how did you escape?"
"I escaped in the middle of the night while they were sleeping. Let me tell you about Dashan. I actually went to the Gate of Hell for a trip. It was so scary!"
"Did you call the police?"
"What's the use of calling the police? Those people are smart. They probably knew I had escaped and had already moved."
I let out a long breath and asked him again: "Then how did you find me here? How did you know I live here?"
"Didn't my mobile phone be taken away? I wanted to look for Qiangzi, but I couldn't find him, so I had to go to the company to look for him. But the security guard of the building said that the company had moved long ago."
"Then how did you find me here?"
"Qiangzi told me."
"Then how did you find him?" I asked suspiciously, because his appearance made me strange.
"I found the company's original location and asked the security guard of the building before I found out that the company had moved. I found the company's new address and asked about it."
"Really?" I asked in disbelief.
He nodded vigorously and replied: "Really, if you don't believe me, just call and ask Qiangzi, he really told me."
I thought about it thoughtfully and said, "Okay, I barely believe you. But why did you leave the company before? Didn't Qiangzi say that he had arranged a position for you?"
"I" Cheng Xiaohu said hesitantly, "I can't do those things. I spend all day in Internet cafes, and then I was fired."
"What do you want me to say about you?"
"I know I was wrong, Dashan, I know you are now the general manager of Yuanfeng Group, you have to take me in!"
I was stunned and said: "How do you know that I am the general manager of Yuanfeng Group?"
"I asked! Those people told me that you were the general manager of Yuanfeng Group before you lost your memory. No wonder Mr. An and others are so good to you."
I was suddenly stunned, and after a while I said, "Yes, you heard it right, it is indeed the case. But the situation is not as good as you thought."
"I know, if something happens to the company, I know who did it."
I looked at him in surprise, opened my mouth, and said in disbelief: "Do you know who did it? Do you know what I'm talking about?"
"I know! A big event happened in the company a month ago. Someone framed us for participating in smuggling, and Mr. An was arrested for it, right?"
I nodded heavily and asked seriously: "How do you know who did it?"
Cheng Xiaohu chuckled and said, "It's a long story, but I'm hungry now, so I can't remember it."
"Stop talking to me about this. The takeaway will be here soon. Please tell me what's going on right away?"
Cheng Xiaohu smiled harmlessly and said, "Da Shan, I know this matter is very important to you. Is it good for me to tell you?"
"It's already this time, can you please stop making fun of me? Xiaohu, I'm telling you, this matter is of great importance and you can't joke around."
"I'm not kidding you, Dashan, I really know this, and I'm afraid I'm the only one who knows."
I fell silent immediately, paused for a moment, and then asked him again: "What benefits do you want?"
After thinking for a while, he said: "You are so rich now, it shouldn't be difficult for you to give me some money, right?"
"How much do you want?"
As if he had already thought about it, he decisively stretched out five fingers and said: "Five million."
"You and I, Cheng Xiaohu, are you crazy about money?"
He said with a mean smile: "I know this matter is very important to you and the entire group, not to mention that Mr. An is still in the detention center, don't you want to save her?"
"Cheng Xiaohu, have you forgotten what our relationship is? Is it appropriate for you to ask me for money like this?"
Cheng Xiaohu shrugged and said: "Da Shan, of course I know about our relationship, but I just realized that you are so awesome. If I had known your true identity earlier, I would have told you. And this five million, for you,
It’s not that difficult, I know.”
"You know what the heck, I'm telling you Cheng Xiaohu, now the company can't get a penny out, all the assets have been frozen, don't you see that I'm living in this warehouse?"
Cheng Xiaohu looked around the warehouse and said, "Yeah, I feel strange too. Why do you still live in the warehouse when you are so rich? I thought Qiangzi was lying to me."
"Hurry up and tell me who did it? Don't ask me for money, otherwise I will turn my back on you. You can talk or not."
Cheng Xiaohu sighed and said: "Da Shan, we are brothers! Even if you don't give me five million, you still have to take care of me!"
"You won't tell me, right? Okay, then I don't want to know anymore, so get out of here quickly!"
He was still smiling innocently, I wasn't joking with him, there was no way he could threaten me with something like this.
"Say it again, leave! I don't want to see you in this life."
Cheng Xiaohu was frightened and hurriedly took my arm and said: "Da Shan, don't, don't do this. I told you not to do it."
