Having said everything that needed to be said, Xu Chendong had to handle the following matters, and Qi Ye went back.
I don't do much, just buy groceries.
When he returned carrying a large bag of things, he happened to run into Wang Xingda.
The two knew each other, and the reason was undoubtedly due to the two sisters from the Shen family.
Wang Xingda was the first to come over and greet him, "Hey, Platoon Leader Qi, what are you doing here instead of at the military region?" He smiled and tried to get closer to Qi Ye, even offering him a cigarette, "Want one?"
Qi Ye refused, saying, "I don't smoke."
"Hey!" Wang Xingda gave Qi Ye a reproachful look. "We're old acquaintances, why are you being so formal with me? A cigarette isn't worth much, it's not a bribe."
Qi Ye took the cigarette, his mind racing, but he didn't show it on his face. He watched Wang Xingda smile as he lit the cigarette for him and casually asked, "What? Still looking for a wife for yourself?"
Wang Xingda chuckled, "Hey, I'm destined to be a loner for life, why would I look for someone? I can live alone, and I'm quite content."
"By the way, do you know about Shen Huixiu's matter?" Qi Ye said, letting the cigarette burn between his fingers, his gaze seemingly unintentionally falling on Wang Xingda.
Wang Xingda remained impeccable, his smile never faltering. Upon hearing this, he said, "How could I not know? It's all over here. Wow, this woman is really bold."
He sighed with regret and exclaimed, "It's such a pity she's a woman. If she were a man, with what she's done, her ruthlessness and courage, she would definitely have a place in this big city!"
Qi Ye chuckled lightly, "You seem to really admire her!"
Wang Xingda quickly laughed and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. There's nothing to praise, just a feeling. You know, in my line of work, if I didn't have some guts, I would have been chewed up and swallowed by people long ago. There would be no place for me to make a living."
At this point, he grinned, moved closer to Qi Ye, and casually slipped a roll of something into his hand. Qi Ye raised his hand, but Wang Xingda stopped him, saying, "Sigh, we all have rules, but people also need to consider feelings. My line of work is like licking blood off a knife's edge..."
"But if it weren't for us, the people who live on the edge, who knows how many people in our city would starve to death. So, all things considered, I've done a good deed, and my merits and demerits cancel each other out."
Listening to his rambling, Qi Ye lifted his eyelids and said calmly, "So?"
"We're all human, just trying to make a living. Why go to such lengths to kill each other? Consider this a gift from me. If there's any sudden action later, just let me know."
Qi Ye remained unmoved. Wang Xingda thought for a moment and then took a step back. "How about this? Even if you don't send a message, just slow down a bit and give us some time. Is that alright?"
The two stood there in a stalemate for a long time on the street. Wang Xingda looked at Qi Ye's expressionless face and said slowly, "Even if it's not for yourself, think about your wife and children at home. Besides, there's an old lady waiting to support the family."
After a long pause, Qi Ye sighed, seemingly giving in, "Fine, but even if I'm a little slow, what's the use if you don't get the news?"
At this point, Wang Xingda grinned and said, "That's none of your business. Everyone has their own way of doing things. You have your way of doing things, and I have my own way of doing things."
Qi Ye lowered his eyelids and silently stuffed the roll of money into his pocket.
This is the default setting.
"Sigh!" Wang Xingda beamed. "It's all set."
He took a step back. "Platoon Leader Qi, take care!"
Watching Qi Ye walk away, Wang Xingda's expression changed instantly. Looking at Qi Ye's back, he spat and said, "Hey, what is he? He dares to put on airs in front of me. You think you're so capable? You're just a poor beggar."
Wang Xingda's henchman, seeing this, hurriedly nodded and bowed, "Big brother, don't take it to heart. But aren't we on our way there? How did we get involved with him?"
The two of them were just coincidentally bumping into Qi Ye, and this operation was entirely orchestrated by Wang Xingda himself.
“It’s nothing,” Wang Xingda said in a low voice, looking at the crowds on the street. “I’m just giving it a try. After all, things have been quite chaotic lately.”
Especially at night, the whole city is as quiet as a ghost town.
In the past, there used to be young men and women walking alone at night, but now, at night, the city is deserted, and there is not a sound of people on the streets.
"So what do we do?"
"What else can we do but keep going!"
This thing makes money quickly, but it's too dangerous, countless times more dangerous than what he did before. He's quite terrified and is even starting to think about quitting.
That's terrifying.
This is a terrible thing to do; don't let it end up ruining his lineage.
The root was severed...
The thought of this made Wang Xingda irritable. He rubbed his head, realizing he didn't even have a wife yet.
He has earned more money than his ancestors could ever spend in eight generations, yet he has no roots.
He clicked his tongue. No, the problem now wasn't making money at all, but finding a way to get himself a wife and have a family line so that he could be worthy of his deceased parents.
"Oh, I see," Wang Xingda pondered for a moment, "I remember your mother used to be a matchmaker?"
Xiao Hei's heart trembled, and he said with a forced smile, "I have done it, but my mother is getting old. The couples I set up before were all unhappy couples who couldn't live together. Over time, no one remembered my mother's good points. During holidays and when we had arguments, they would come to pick fights."
