Chapter 74

In Zhou Zitan's eyes, Yu Jurong is not a bad person!

Shen Tingzhou was shocked. What happened between these two people?

Zhou Zitan was still on the phone with He Yanting. Yu Jurong came over and took Zhou Zitan's phone.

Yu Jurong didn't look at Zhou Zitan. He walked to the French window and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Mr. He."

Zhou Zitan didn't get angry, but followed Yu Jurongshen with a nervous look on his face.

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, He Yanting frowned, "Where's He Zitan?"

Yu Jurong chuckled and said, "It's not convenient for Zitan now."

The word "Zitan" sounded very intimate. He Yanting's stern face wavered for a moment, and his voice became deeper. "I'll say it again, let him answer the phone!"

Yu Jurong said with a hint of contempt, "Mr. He, you really don't have to worry."

He turned around and looked at Zhou Zitan, "People like Xiaotan will not be kidnapped, he will just follow others, what do you think?"

Hearing Yu Jurong's meaningful words, Shen Tingzhou took a deep breath.

How dare he speak to He Yanting like that!

Shen Tingzhou thought Zhou Zitan would give Yu Jurong a headbutt, but the other party just frowned and did not take any extreme action.

Shen Tingzhou:?

He Yanting's eyes were gloomy and cold. "Yu Jurong, I don't care how you play with others, but I warn you, don't mess with my brother!"

Yu Jurong smiled and pinched Zhou Zitan's earlobe.

Zhou Zitan pushed Yu Jurong's hand away impatiently and stared at the phone intently.

Yu Jurong was not annoyed and said lazily to the person on the other end of the phone, "After dinner, if he wants, I will take him home. That's it. We'll talk another day."

Without waiting for He Yanting's reply, Yu Jurong hung up the phone and returned it to Zhou Zitan.

Zhou Zitan held his phone in his hand and struggled for a while, biting his nails and said, "No, I have to call my brother back."

Yu Jurong held Zhou Zitan's hand and said, "Let's eat first."

Zhou Zitan's face was filled with anxiety. He held his cell phone nervously, as if waiting for a call from He Yanting.

Yu Jurong calmly changed the subject and asked Zhou Zitan, "What do you want to eat?"

Zhou Zitan kicked the glass window absentmindedly, and saw Shen Tingzhou in his peripheral vision, and subconsciously walked towards him.

Yu Jurong stopped him again, and Zhou Zitan asked impatiently, "What are you doing again?"

Yu Jurong said in a good-tempered tone, "Dr. Shen is on a date, it would be rude for us to disturb him."

Zhou Zitan frowned and really listened to Yu Jurong's words and did not come over.

The shock in Shen Tingzhou's heart could no longer be described as shock. It was simply shattering.

Xu Xun on the other side suddenly spoke up, "Should we call them over?"

Shen Tingzhou was slightly stunned, looked up at Xu Xun, and coughed awkwardly, "No, I just..."

Xu Xun completed Shen Tingzhou's answer, "I'm a little worried about him?"

Shen Tingzhou said nothing.

He was indeed worried that Zhou Zitan was threatened by Yu Jurong, but a born vicious dog is not to be trifled with, so Xiao Zhou should not suffer any loss...right?

Xu Xun said again, "You can call him over."

Upon hearing this, Shen Tingzhou glanced in the direction of Zhou Zitan. He had already sat down with Yu Jurong and was ordering food with the menu in hand. He did not seem to be threatened at all.

"Forget it, it should be fine."

Shen Tingzhou said that he was fine, but he kept looking at Zhou Zitan and Yu Jurong, until he swallowed a mint leaf and rolled his tongue.

A glass of water was handed over. Shen Tingzhou quickly drank two sips. When he looked up, he saw Xu Xun with a paralyzed face and no expression on his face.

Shen Tingzhou suddenly felt guilty and took a piece of bamboo shoots, "...eat more vegetables."

Xu Xun looked directly at Shen Tingzhou and said calmly, "I find that every time I go out with you, I encounter all kinds of things."

Help! Xiao Xu discovered his special physique!

Shen Tingzhou had no way to explain himself, because strange things always happened to him. In Qin Shiyao's words, wherever he went, there was the sound of "melons".

Xu Xun is indifferent to people and things in the outside world. He doesn't like gossip or melons.

Knowing that he was not interested in these, Shen Tingzhou suggested, "How about... we try to go out less often?"

Xu Xun made the opposite suggestion, "I think it's a matter of probability. We go out on dates too infrequently. We should go out more often in the future."

At this moment, Xu Xun was shining brightly in Shen Tingzhou's eyes.

When it comes to materialism, Xiao Xu is still firm!

Originally, Shen Tingzhou was also a materialist and a tough warrior, but since Qin Shiyao called him the "Frog Prince", Shen Tingzhou found that he was always surrounded by strange-shaped melons, which made his Tao heart unstable.

From today on, he and Xiao Xu will firmly defend the banner of "materialism"!

After dinner, Shen Tingzhou glanced at Zhou Zitan, then left with Xu Xun.

After returning home, he still felt uneasy and took out his cell phone to send a text message to Zhou Zitan.

After deleting and reducing for a while, Shen Tingzhou finally sent it out: [I'm not busy recently. If you need anything, feel free to contact me. Just a simple chat is also OK. ]

Soon Zhou Zitan replied: [I understand, Doctor Shen.]

Shen Tingzhou waited for a long time, but Zhou Zitan did not send any other messages.

Shen Tingzhou rubbed his eyebrows and put down his phone.

-

Xu Xunjian believed that the base number was too small and the result of the argument was meaningless.

In order to dispel the conclusion that something bad would happen on their date, Shen Tingzhou and Xu Xun went out early the next morning.

They first went to a writing instrument and stationery store, as the Chinese New Year was approaching and the housekeeper wrote the couplets himself every year.

The boss is friends with the housekeeper and has already packed the things.

Shen Tingzhou got the things and just walked out of the store when a plastic stool flew over.

Xu Xun was quick-witted and quick-handed. He kicked the plastic stool away and glanced coldly at the next room.

Shen Tingzhou asked hurriedly, "Are you okay?"

Xu Xun's expression softened and he shook his head at Shen Tingzhou.

Next door was a jade shop. Four or five men with tattoos on their arms were smashing the shop. The door was sprayed with red paint.

A fat and skinny man in a Tang suit was dragged to the door by one of the tattooed men, grabbing the back of his collar.

The man being dragged away kept groaning and begging for mercy, saying, "Give me two more days. When the money arrives the day after tomorrow, I will personally deliver it to you."

The tattooed man slapped him twice on the face with a cold smile, "It seems that you don't take us seriously if you don't do something serious."

Shen Tingzhou’s first thought was usury, and he was about to call the police when the housekeeper’s friend came over.

"This kind of person deserves to be killed. He gave up his business and went gambling. He owed more than 5 million in gambling debts and forced his son, who was still in college, to pay it back."

Shen Tingzhou looked at the other person's face, which was as amiable as Maitreya Buddha's, in amazement.

Such an asshole?

The man with tattoos pried the man's hand apart and twisted it hard, and the man immediately let out a miserable howl.

"Ningning, save me." The man looked at the silent young man next to him and cried, "Hurry up and beg Mr. Li for mercy. Ningning, I swear, I will never gamble again in the future. This time I am serious."

Seeing that the young man was indifferent, he started to curse again, "After your mother left, I raised you with all my heart, and now you want to watch me die. Do you still have a conscience?"

The young man, who had been lowering his head, finally raised it, revealing a cool and handsome face.

He looked at the man called Mr. Li and said, "Let him go."

Mr. Li raised his hand, and the man with tattoos pushed the man away like throwing away trash.

The man showed a look of having survived a disaster, staggered towards the young man, and cried, "Dad knew you were a good boy, don't worry, Dad will definitely raise the money and pay you back..."

The young man ignored him and said to Mr. Li, "I agree to your previous request, but I hope you can also agree to my two requests."

Mr. Li looked at him as if he were an interesting little pet. "You tell me."

“First, I hope to continue my education.”

"Can."

"Second, I hope you can help me send him to a gambling addiction treatment center. It doesn't matter if it's a formal or informal center, even if it's a black gambling center like Yang Yongxin's that uses electric shocks. It doesn't matter if the person is disabled or his hands are crippled, as long as he can never go to the gambling table again."

When he said this, the young man had a ruthless look on his face.

Mr. Li looked at his expression and smiled, "Okay."

The man's face turned pale instantly, and he looked at his own son paralyzedly, "I am... your biological father, how could you do this to me?"

The young man looked at him indifferently, "You were very good to me when you had money, so I don't blame you, but from now on I will be the boss of this family!"

The man's lips moved, as if he didn't know his son.

Mr. Li on the side watched the scene with interest and then waved at him.

The young man walked in and the door of the jade shop was closed from the inside.

Shen Tingzhou stood there and watched for a while, then turned to meet Xu Xianping's calm gaze, and then silently looked away.

Xu Xun asked, "Have you finished reading it?"

Shen Tingzhou nodded embarrassedly.

Xu Xun took Shen Tingzhou's hand and said, "Let's go."

Xu Xun took Shen Tingzhou to the club to play basketball, and then ran into Su Jiang and Da Fang Ge. Because someone looked at Su Jiang a few more times, Da Fang Ge fought with that person.

Su Jiang was yawning boredly, and her eyes lit up when she saw Shen Tingzhou.

Shen Tingzhou grabbed Xu Xun and ran away without saying a word.

After leaving the club, Shen Tingzhou took Xu Xun to the nearby museum, and they saw a scene where a couple was caught having an affair.

Shen Tingzhou didn't know for a moment whether he brought Xu Xun to dispel superstition or to promote superstition.

Xu Xun grabbed Shen Tingzhou's hand.

Shen Tingzhou looked at him blankly. Xu Xun said nothing and pulled Shen Tingzhou out.

Xu Xun's body temperature was transmitted through his palm, and Shen Tingzhou felt warm in his heart.

-

In the afternoon, the two of them went to see a concert. Fortunately, there were no problems this time and the concert ended smoothly.

After leaving the concert venue, Shen Tingzhou and his friends didn't encounter any problems.

Until he passed by the Pu Yue Hotel, the source of all evil, on his way back, Shen Tingzhou's stable heart of Taoism was in danger.

The closer they got to the hotel, the worse Shen Tingzhou felt. "How about... let's take another route."

Xu Xun turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Tingzhou was about to say something, but when he saw Zhou Zitan, Yu Jurong, and He Yanting outside the car window, all his words were stuck in his throat.

Xu Xun followed his gaze, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally resigned himself to driving the car over and parking it near them.

Shen Tingzhou looked embarrassed, "I didn't..."

Xu Xun said considerately: "Go ahead and watch it, and then go back to bed early after you finish watching it."

Xiao Xu is really sincere... Shen Tingzhou was so moved that he burst into tears.

In that case, he would take a quick look at what happened to these three people.
