Du Chen walked around the entertainment street for a long time and finally found Li Dewen playing games in a dilapidated game hall. There were several young men surrounding him, making him very conspicuous in the entire game hall.
"Brother Li, are you playing?"
Du Chen ignored the looks of the young people around him, walked up to Li Dewen and greeted him.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Du? How come you have time to come here? I heard the midterm exam is today?"
Li Dewen, who was playing games, turned around and saw Du Chen. His eyes lit up and he started joking with Du Chen.
"Well, I handed in my paper early and ran out! I just came over for a walk."
"It's fine to hand in the paper early. What's the matter? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Li Dewen was not vague and asked Xiang Duchen directly what was the matter.
"I have something to trouble you, Brother Li. It depends on whether you have time!"
Du Chen directly stated his purpose.
"Hey, you've already said it, how can I refute you? Tell me, what's the matter?"
When Du Chen saw how polite Li Dewen was, he suddenly regretted coming to him. If someone was too attentive without any reason, he was either a villain or a thief. Li Dewen was so easy to talk to, so he might have some ulterior motives waiting for him.
"How about we go outside and talk?"
Li Dewen looked at Du Chen, who was silent and thought it was too crowded to talk about what was going on, so he suggested going outside. Du Chen looked at the young people around him and the noisy sounds of the game hall, and nodded, indicating that they should go outside to talk.
"Du Chen, just tell me what you want. I won't refuse anything I can do!"
After leaving the arcade, Li Dewen took out a cigarette and was about to hand it to Du Chen, while making promises to Du Chen. Du Chen waved his hand to refuse Li Dewen's cigarette and asked Li Dewen directly.
"Brother Li, you're so polite that I feel a little guilty! Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Du Chen didn't talk about his own affairs, but first asked Li Dewen if he needed his help with anything. Du Chen had to consider the size of the matter.
"Haha, Du Chen, I'm really smart enough that I can't hide it from you!"
Li Dewen laughed twice and praised Du Chen at the same time.
"Okay, Brother Li, just tell me what you want. If I can do it, I will definitely agree to it. If I can't do it, just pretend that I haven't looked for you today and you haven't seen me!"
Du Chen spoke politely, but his tone was not polite at all.
After hearing what Du Chen said, Li Dewen pondered for a moment and decided to tell Du Chen the truth. After all, it was impossible to hide it from Du Chen if he wanted to ask him for help.
"Du Chen, as you can see, my friends and I don't have much to do every day, so we can only hang out on the streets. This is not a long-term solution, so we would like to ask for your help."
Du Chen was greatly surprised to hear Li Dewen's words. No normal person would have such an idea. After all, he was still a child and had no ability to help the other party.
"Brother Li, you must be mistaken. How can I help you? How old am I? You think too highly of me!"
After Du Chen finished speaking to Li Dewen, he was about to turn around and leave. He felt that the other party was completely fooling him. This was too outrageous.
"Wait, Du Chen, I'm not kidding!"
Li Dewen hurriedly grabbed Du Chen. It was not easy to get in touch with him this time. He had to discuss it with Du Chen first, otherwise there would be no way to get close to Du Chen in the future.
Du Chen was held back by Li Dewen. Thinking that he couldn't leave for a while, he turned around and wanted to hear what Li Dewen was thinking.
"Brother Li, tell me, I think you are totally kidding me!"
"Come on, Du Chen, let's find a place to have a good chat! No matter what I ask you to do, I will do it for you, okay?"
Li Dewen said to Du Chen with a smile. Then, Du Chen and Li Dewen went to a small shop and bought two bottles of soda. They borrowed two small stools from the shop owner and sat on the street, drinking soda and chatting.
"Du Chen, after my last interaction with you, I found you quite interesting. Out of curiosity, I asked around a bit, and I actually found out a few things!"
Since he asked Du Chen to do the job, Li Dewen did not hide anything and directly confessed to Du Chen that he had investigated Du Chen.
"Oh, then tell me what you have found out?"
Du Chen was not angry, because this kind of thing would be very normal in the future. Besides, he had always abided by the law and had never done anything illegal, so he was not afraid of the other party's investigation.
"I first heard that your family owns a clothing store and an eyewear store near the school. I don't know how much revenue they make, but I've watched them from morning till night and I've noticed your business must be pretty good!"
Li Dewen took a sip of soda and said to Du Chen, while staring at Du Chen's expression, wanting to see if Du Chen had any reaction, but Du Chen still had a smiling look on his face, and Li Dewen couldn't tell whether he was angry or not.
"Sure, Brother Li, my family's business is doing well, but it's no use for you to come to me, right? My family's business is run by my parents. I can understand if you come to my parents, but it's a bit putting the cart before the horse to come to a child like me, right?"
"At first, I also thought about contacting your parents, but who would want to bother with a punk like me? I know my own character very well! I was originally thinking of asking you and your brother for some pocket money, but then some information my little brother found out made me think that contacting you would be much more useful than contacting your parents!"
Li Dewen took out another cigarette from his pocket and lit it, while telling Du Chen about his discovery.
"Although I'm a small-time thug, I've never done anything illegal. At most, I've just been looking for students to treat me to a bite to eat and some alcohol. Believe me, honestly, I wouldn't dare do anything illegal!"
Li Dewen took a deep drag on his cigarette and said to Du Chen with some self-mockery. Du Chen didn't comment, but just smiled and motioned Li Dewen to continue.
"My little brother has a friend who lives in the living area. He heard that you, Du Chen, are very famous in the living area. You're called a little prodigy. Some people also speculate that your family's business is the result of your ideas, right?"
Li Dewen slowly told Du Chen what he had learned, staring intently into his eyes to see his reaction. Du Chen was still smiling, making Li Dewen feel like he had punched cotton.
"Brother Li, let's not talk about whether what you heard is true or not. What do you want to talk to me about? We've been talking for so long, and I have to go home for dinner soon. There's no need for us to beat around the bush, right?"
Du Chen was talking to Li Dewen, but his thoughts were already going through many twists and turns in his head. He was wondering what Li Dewen wanted to do and whether it would cause him any trouble.
