Li Xing's smile under the moonlight is creepy.
Su Xiaozhong's pupils shrank slightly, and he walked calmly towards Li Xing step by step, slowly walking from the darkness to the moonlight. His cold expression gradually softened, and a simple smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Brother Li, you can't sleep either?" Su Xiaozhong said enthusiastically.
Li Xing had a cold face and didn't buy his tricks.
He lost a lot of face today, and the culprit of all this was the man in front of him with a silly smile on his face.
Although he didn't know how he did it, whether it was luck or accidental, he no longer cared.
The only thing he wanted now was to get his things back and bring this man down.
"What were you doing just now?" Li Xing stared at him with a sneer.
Su Xiaozhong replied naively: "I saw a weasel and was thinking of catching it to make a snack for everyone. But I didn't expect that it ran away so fast that I couldn't catch it."
"Haha, weasel? I think you are the weasel."
"Brother Li, why do you say that to me?" Su Xiaozhong looked shocked and aggrieved.
Li Xing was no longer buying into his tricks, "Stop acting."
"Brother Li, I know you are resentful towards me because of what happened during the day, but that was not my intention, and I don't want to take over that position." Su Xiaozhong began to express his loyalty.
"You don't want to? I see you really want to. If you really don't want to take over, why didn't you refuse when the second shopkeeper mentioned it? Humph, you are clearly plotting to take my position. You let me ride a horse in broad daylight, so you must be setting a trap for me, right?"
Su Xiaozhong was angry and anxious, "Brother Li, you are confused!"
Li Xing was stunned.
Without waiting for him to speak, Su Xiaozhong continued, "The Second Shopkeeper asked me to take over. If I refuse, the Second Shopkeeper will definitely find someone else to take over your position. By then, it will be extremely difficult for you to take it back."
"I didn't refuse at the time. I just wanted to take over first. After the second shopkeeper calmed down, I would find a chance to return the position to you."
"Brother Li, let me tell you the truth again. I didn't dare to refuse at that time. In addition to preserving your position, I was also afraid of upsetting the Second Shopkeeper. The Second Shopkeeper was already in a bad mood at that time. If I refused him in front of everyone, he would definitely be angry with both of us."
Li Xing was stunned by what he heard, and his anger dissipated unconsciously, but he still looked skeptical, "Are you serious? Do you really think so?"
"That's natural."
Su Xiaozhong raised his hand decisively and swore to the sky.
"I, Su Zhong, can swear to heaven that I am devoted to you, Brother Li, and I will never have any second thoughts. If I have any second thoughts, I, Su Zhong, will not die a good death."
He, Su Zhong, swore that it had nothing to do with him, Su Xiaozhong.
Li Xing saw that he looked serious and didn't seem to be faking it. He originally only half believed him, but now he believed it almost completely. For some reason, he felt guilty towards him.
"Then why didn't you tell me afterwards?"
Su Xiaozhong lied fluently, "There are too many people around me, I can't leave. This matter cannot be known to others. If the second shopkeeper knew that I had such thoughts, I am afraid he would be unhappy."
Li Xing nodded, agreeing, "You've thought it through very carefully."
Seeing that he had finally relaxed and was no longer hostile to him, Su Xiaozhong naturally put his hand on his shoulder and calmly led him to the outskirts of the village.
He kept saying, "Brother Li, you have been very kind to me, Su Zhong. No matter who I meet in the future, I will never be able to surpass you in this gratitude. No matter where I go or what achievements I make, you are my great benefactor."
"If I, Su Zhong, hadn't met you, I wouldn't have the peace and security I have now."
Li Xing felt embarrassed by what he said and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, I was wrong about you."
"I'll be happy if big brother can understand my difficulties and no longer misunderstand me. I only hope that the two brothers can work together to do something here, so that big brother's support will not be in vain." Su Xiaozhong said sincerely with tears in his eyes.
"Su Zhong, you will be my good brother from now on. If you have any problems, just come to me."
"Brother, I, I really want to ask you for help with something." Su Xiaozhong looked embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to start.
"What's the matter? Just tell me, brother. Why are you being so polite to me?"
Su Xiaozhong slowly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, lowered his voice, and whispered in his ear: "Borrow my life, big brother."
Li Xing was stunned and his pupils suddenly widened.
"you……"
Just as he uttered a word, a sharp dagger stabbed into his heart. The unfinished words were covered by a pair of strong hands and drowned in his throat.
Su Xiaozhong stirred the dagger a few times and watched indifferently as his breath weakened little by little until it disappeared, then he slowly let go of his hand.
Li Xing fell in the grass. Su Xiaozhong squatted down, slowly pulled out the dagger, lowered his eyes to look at the blood on the dagger, frowned in disgust, placed the dagger on Li Xing's clothes, and slowly wiped the blood off the dagger bit by bit until there was not a drop of blood left, then he stopped.
The experience of his previous life told him that only the mouth of the dead was the most reliable.
He absolutely would not allow him to disclose what happened today.
Su Xiaozhong put the dagger back into his sleeve, walked out of the woods leisurely and headed towards the village.
He avoided the guards and returned to his house quietly.
The next morning, the team couldn't find Li Xing. When the second shopkeeper heard the news, he was very angry.
"Could it be that Li Xing was abducted by the second manager yesterday and then secretly left?" someone whispered.
"He just walked away like this, isn't that saying something bad about the second shopkeeper? He's showing his displeasure to the second shopkeeper."
Sounds like these kept reaching the ears of the second shopkeeper.
The second shopkeeper snorted coldly and looked at the two thugs in the team, "You two stay here and continue looking for him. If you can't find any trace of him, go to his home and deal with his family, and the rest of you can continue on your way."
Li Xing is really brave.
Su Xiaozhong looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and the second shopkeeper saw it.
"Second Shopkeeper, I don't think Brother Li, Li Xing would do this. Maybe there is some misunderstanding."
Although the second shopkeeper was angry, he was not angry at Su Xiaozhong's behavior.
Look at those brothers who used to call Li Xing their brother, now no one dares to stand up, but this honest man with a simple face and hardworking work dares to stand up and speak for him when he is angry.
Just this gratitude in his heart made the second shopkeeper look up to him a little more and admire him a little more.
I am not afraid of my subordinates being incompetent, I am afraid of them being disloyal.
The second shopkeeper stared at him with cold eyes and suddenly raised the knife in his hand, pressing it against his neck.
When the others saw this, they were all shocked, and many of them were waiting to see the show.
