Li Yutong was speechless for a moment. She was used to being alone. How could she get anything done if there were two of them around her?

"Well, it's just a small matter. I can go by myself."

"Really?" Shen Jiaze looked at her with a slightly frown.

Shen Jiaze's eyes were very beautiful, deep and dark, and he looked at people with great concentration. But at this moment, there was a little bit of loss inexplicably.

How could Li Yutong refuse? How could she make Shen Jiaze unhappy? "Well, if you want to go together, let's go."

Shen Jiaze's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled slightly.

It was said that they were going to the vocational high school, but in fact they were going to a game hall in the alley near the vocational high school.

Most of the students in vocational high schools who don’t like studying gather here to play after school.

When they got there, the place was already filled with smoke and most of the people there were kids around 16 or 17 years old. Most of them had sleazy faces and cigarettes in their hands.

As soon as Shen Jiaze walked to the door, he almost changed his expression when he saw the situation.

Not only was the place noisy and smoky, but it was also extremely dirty and everyone looked like bad guys.

He Zixuan was also startled, and hurriedly approached Li Yutong and asked her in a low voice: "Li Yutong, what are you doing here?"

"I've heard of the game hall, but I've never been there. I wanted to go and see it for myself." Li Yutong had already thought of what to say on the way.

He Zixuan turned around to look at Shen Jiaze, and sure enough, he saw that Shen Jiaze, who always had a mysophobia, was standing at the door.

"My brother doesn't even dare to go in," he said.

Li Yutong looked back and saw Shen Jiaze looking at her. He seemed to have made up his mind and stepped forward.

Li Yutong turned around and said, "I'll be quick, just take a look."

The game room was not big. She walked around inside. It was a game room built in the 1990s. The game tables inside were clumsy and old. She just glanced at them casually.

Soon, she found He Mingliang surrounded by several young men in the corner, operating the joystick of the game console. Li Yutong leaned over to take a look. The low-pixel display showed a boxing game with rough and clumsy characters.

She glanced at He Mingliang and couldn't help but sigh, this is youth.

A young and handsome guy.

He Mingliang was concentrating on playing games when he noticed someone was looking at him. He turned around and saw a female classmate with big, bright eyes and a pretty face looking at him.

He frowned and looked away.

There were many people in the vocational high school who were in love, and many girls had a crush on him, but He Mingliang didn't care.

She found He Mingliang, but because Shen Jiaze and He Zixuan were following them, she didn't want to say anything to him. It was enough for her to know that he was there.

"Is it fun?"

After they got out of the alley, Shen Jiaze looked at him sternly.

Li Yutong felt a little scared, as if she had been caught skipping school by the dean.

"A little?" Li Yutong found it funny and said deliberately.

Shen Jiaze's face became even gloomier: "You are in school now, you can't do this kind of thing. If you really like it, wait until you are admitted to university and have your own new life. After work, you can play games to entertain yourself, not now."

"Li Yutong, you'd better give up this idea."

Otherwise, he felt it necessary to let the county government deal with this serious problem where students do not study hard and only think about going to the game hall.

"Okay, okay, I get it." Seeing that he was really angry, Li Yutong quickly agreed.

He Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't like listening to his cousin's lecture.

The three people were about to leave when a young man suddenly squeezed past them in a hurry. Not long after, He Mingliang strode out with a nervous expression and tried to push a bicycle leaning against the wall. As soon as he stepped on it, he found that the tire of the front wheel had been punctured.

“Shit!”

He Mingliang was anxious and angry. He kicked his bicycle angrily and planned to run there.

It was obvious that he was in a hurry, so Li Yutong grabbed his sleeve and said, "I'll lend it to you."

After saying that, he handed the bicycle to He Mingliang.

He Mingliang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Li Yutong, nodded, turned around, got on his bike and ran away.

"Hey, what's going on?" When He Zixuan saw the gangster riding away Li Yutong's bicycle, he was suddenly confused about the situation. More importantly, the bicycle was given to him by Li Yutong.

"Li Yutong, you are out of your mind. Do you know who he is? Why did you give him the bicycle?"

Shen Jiaze stood aside, his face gloomy like the calm before a storm. Li Yutong didn't dare to look at him and laughed dryly: "Uh, I was just impulsive. Oops, my bike is gone."

She pretended to be anxious and got on the back seat of He Zixuan's bicycle: "Take me to chase him!"

"Okay!" He Zixuan was loyal and immediately prepared to leave.

Li Yutong's arms tightened, but Shen Jiaze pulled her behind him: "Get in my car, I'm stronger than him."

"Ah?" She didn't dare to tire Shen Jiaze.

"Hurry up, or it will be too late." Shen Jiaze watched He Mingliang riding his bicycle and was about to disappear at the intersection.

"Okay, then you be careful." Li Yutong hurriedly got on the back seat of his bicycle.

As soon as he sat on it, Shen Jiaze's long legs slid the bicycle out, and in a moment he rode a long distance with the chain rattling.

"Hey, wait for me." He Zixuan hurriedly rode his bicycle to catch up.

These days, there are relatively few cars on the road, but there are many people and bicycles.

The three of them chased after the man with all their might and ended up in a dilapidated residential compound, an old neighborhood with rough cement walls, cement floors, and windows sealed with welding rods into the shape of stained glass windows.

There was a commotion in the yard.

An old woman cried out sharply, "Oh my God, my son is dead. This woman took my son's money and she wouldn't give it to me."

"I'm old now. Whatever I eat and drink is forcing me to die. I'm going to hit my head against the wall right now."

As he said this, he banged his head against the wall while everyone was pulling him.

"Sister-in-law, how can you be so heartless? My elder brother is my mother's biological son. He is gone, and we were supposed to have a share of the compensation. Why don't you give it to us?" A man in his thirties with a greasy face accused a crying woman with great anguish.

Next to the pale woman stood the angry He Mingliang, supporting her.

"The total compensation is only 20,000 yuan, and I've already given you 10,000 yuan. What else do you want?"

"Ten thousand yuan? Pah!" The old woman's expression changed immediately and she spat rudely on the ground: "My son still owns half of this house. Can you give my son's half back to me?"

"My son has passed away, and I will have no one to take care of me in the future. It is only natural that I will take his compensation to live on in the future. Why don't you give it to me?"
