"...Brother Han, Brother Han?"
Han Li suddenly came back to his senses and turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from: "Huh?"
Zhao Jun repeated: "What do you think?"
Han Li frowned: "What do you think?"
The corner of Zhao Jun's eyes twitched, but he didn't dare to raise any different opinions. He just reported the progress of the work again.
It's the progress at the casino.
The calculation went very smoothly. Although they still hadn't received the account book, they had already basically figured out the difference between the casino's profit and the reported amount. With the addition of the few men they had who had previously broken into PUZZEL's casino, they didn't even need to use too many tricks to take down this organization, which was already full of omissions and greedy by nature, through legal means.
Han Li tapped the table with his fingers carelessly. Just when Zhao Jun was worried whether he needed to report again, he suddenly asked:
"What about the east? Anything going on?"
Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and replied: "Well... it seems not, and according to Zi Yu's people, it seems to be tightening over there?"
Han Li frowned.
He was not very worried about Wang Ruicheng. That man was short-sighted and stupid and could be brought down with just a little effort. However, his casino had been able to stand in the local area for ten years. Obviously, it had little to do with Wang Ruicheng's management level, but was the result of the supporters behind him.
However, according to the area that Han Li's power can currently cover, it is difficult to reach outside the province.
Especially under the premise that Han Li bypassed the entire City A in order to avoid touching the Han family's jurisdiction.
Ever since their reckless behavior in PUZZEL that day, they seemed to have gone silent and never showed up again.
I don’t know why... Han Li always has a vague ominous premonition in his heart.
Zhao Jun called him tentatively: "Brother Han?"
Han Li raised his eyelids, a faint light flashed in his deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "According to the plan, overthrow it."
He hoped that his relentless pressure this time would be able to force the new player to reveal some flaws.
Zhao Jun nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and continued to ask: "By the way, what about those hooligans who broke into PUZZEL before but didn't know much?"
He paused and asked cautiously, "I remember... one of them seemed to be your friend's... father?"
——Han Li also remembers it.
He overheard the conversation between Cheng Chen and Cheng Zekang almost exactly, and the previous investigation on Cheng Chen also gave a clear account of Cheng Zekang's past deeds. Whenever Han Li thought of the hurt Cheng Chen had experienced, an unrelieved anger would rise in his heart, making him want to return it to that man a hundredfold.
But...some decisions have to be made by Cheng Chen himself.
Han Li suppressed the violent anger in his heart, looked up at Zhao Jun who was standing in front of him waiting for a reply, and ordered:
"According to the procedure, they broke in illegally, so we will directly send them to detention - but Cheng Zekang has the right to decide on bail for his son. If Cheng Chen decides to bail out his father, you will bear all his expenses, saying it is mental damages for the shock he suffered at PUZZEL a few days ago, and... don't mention my existence from beginning to end."
Zhao Jun couldn't help but secretly smack his lips.
You know, this low-key boss of his has always been a man of few words, but this time he could say such a long list at once, and even stressed unnecessarily not to let his identity be revealed. It is obvious that this friend is very special to him...
And then he thought about the day when he saw his boss looking so weak...
Zhao Jun shuddered and retracted his somewhat scattered thoughts - as a subordinate, it would be better not to think too much.
But he still couldn't suppress his curiosity. When he finished his report and was about to leave, he risked being silenced and asked:
"By the way, Brother Han, was your daze earlier related to that friend of yours?"
Han Li slowly raised his head and looked at Zhao Jun. His dark and deep eyes were pressed under his brows, like a sharp and cold blade:
"Um?"
Zhao Jun's shoulders shrank, and the courage that had suddenly emerged from him seemed to be extinguished in an instant. He smiled awkwardly and said, "No, nothing. Brother Han, you are busy. I am leaving now."
After saying this, he quickly closed the door behind him and left as if escaping.
The empty office fell silent again. Han Li raised his hand and pressed his aching forehead. His eyes were dark, as if filled with some unknown emotion.
——To some extent, Zhao Jun is right.
His concern for Cheng Chen grew deeper and deeper, to the point where it could no longer be ignored.
Han Li took out aspirin from the drawer and swallowed it with water. The pain in his forehead subsided a little. He lowered his head.
And that dream did not leave during this period of time, but came back every night, pushing the timeline back a certain distance each time.
The severe pain that came with it was also reduced to a level that did not affect daily life, so Han Li began to treat it with a normal mentality, treating it as himself in another world.
Moreover, he even began to have a faint expectation...
What would Cheng Chen look like in the parallel world?
·
Chen Kong lowered his eyes to look at Han Li who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, and asked:
"Are you okay?"
Han Li took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and his dark eyes lit up amazingly:
"OK."
Shen Kong raised his eyebrows in surprise, watching him climb up with some difficulty while holding on to the wall beside him, and stand in front of him again.
This was already the second week in a row that Han Li had come to see him.
Chen Kong doesn't think he is a very good teacher. All his experience basically comes from actual combat. All the skills he has mastered are aimed at making the opponent lose their combat capability quickly, fiercely and accurately. Even when he occasionally competes with his teammates, he never holds back and has no concept of stopping.
Some people even complained jokingly that sparring with Shen Kong was like going to a real battlefield, and if they didn't use their full strength, they might be killed.
Chen Kong was very restrained when it came to an ordinary person like Han Li who had a leg injury and had never received high-intensity training, but he still often attacked without knowing the severity of the blow. The bruises and wounds on Han Li's body were increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye. Even the system, which had been much more obedient since being warned by him that day, couldn't help but jump out and asked vaguely - are you sure you're not taking this opportunity to vent your anger?
But even so, Han Li still insisted on coming to get beaten every day.
Even Chen Kong didn't know how to describe this... he didn't know if it was stupidity or true fearlessness of death.
He looked at Han Li, who was barely standing, and mercifully decided to let him go:
"That's all for today."
Han Li was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look out the window at the sky which had not yet darkened, and his expression was filled with indescribable disappointment:
"But it's not time yet..."
Shen Kong: “…”
He was a little suspicious, did Han Li have any unknown hobbies? ——It wasn’t mentioned in the plot!
Shen Kong walked to Han Li, crossed his arms and looked at him: "Are you sure?"
Han Li blinked away the sweat that was about to fall into his eyes and nodded sincerely.
He was about to say something, but before he could utter a word, he saw Shen Kong reach out and gently pat his shoulder.
Han Li, who was already shaky and unable to stand, was hit without warning. It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. He was about to fall down, but fortunately, Shen Kong, who was prepared, quickly caught him.
He asked again in a stronger voice:
"—Are you sure?"
Han Li was speechless for a moment.
Shen Kong sighed, raised his hand and pointed to the bedroom behind him, and said, "Go in, lie down, and take off your clothes."
Han Li was stunned. His brain, which was already a little fuzzy due to exercise, became even more confused. The blood in his body seemed to have coagulated together. Only the place that was touched by Chen Kong's palm was hot. His brain seemed to be blank, but also seemed to be filled with too many thoughts, and it was a mess.
He walked into the bedroom in a daze, forgetting even to turn on the light, and just lay down on the bed stiffly.
It took him a long time to remember——
Oh, yes, take off your clothes.
Han Li sat up and took off his shirt. He didn't even feel the pain in his upper body from the new and old injuries.
Now he felt his whole body starting to get hot.
Just when he put his hands on his waist, Shen Kong walked in from outside and turned on the light.
He held the medicated oil in his hand, his brows furrowed, “Why are you taking off your pants?”
Han Li felt a burning sensation from his cheeks to the base of his neck, but he still managed to remain calm and said:
"My trouser legs are hard to roll up this time, so I think it's easier to take them off from the top."
Shen Qikong laughed, he raised his hand and slapped Han Li on the back of the head:
"Don't push your luck. I've done my best to help you remove the bruises. I'll charge extra for leg massage."
Han Li covered the back of his head which was aching. His mood had completely calmed down. He looked up at Chen Kong and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Then... I will help you with your summer homework?"
Shen Kong fell into deep thought.
A minute later, he nodded solemnly:
"make a deal."
The author has something to say: Han Li: If you are afraid of being beaten, don’t chase people; if you chase people, you are not afraid of being beaten
