The younger brothers kicked the drunk Zhang Dajun a few times and dragged him away. Zhang Dajun struggled unconvinced and shouted obscene words.
"Are you okay?" Ling Yicheng asked anxiously.
It happened in an instant, and before Su Xiaoli could react, Zhang Dajun had been dragged out of the room. The people at the table didn't seem to be affected at all, and looked as if they were used to it.
She rubbed her arm that was pinched and hurt, "Where are you taking him?"
"Of course, take him next door and teach him some rules." Ling Yicheng's voice was indifferent, with murderous intent surging in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
He turned to look at Su Xiaoli and said softly, "Do you want me to find a doctor for you?"
Su Xiaoli is a doctor herself, and she knows that the arm is fine.
It’s just that drunk people don’t know how much strength they use, so it really hurts.
"After teaching him the rules, will he still be alive?"
Ling Yicheng's expression remained unchanged, "It's optional, do you want his life?"
Su Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, "Actually, I know him. He was probably cheated out of money by my aunt. Although he is not a good person, his crime is not punishable by death, and he should not be... It's up to you to do it. You should send me back first."
After saying this, the last bit of kinship between her and Zhang Dajun ended, and Su Xiaoli didn't want to get involved anymore.
Ling Yicheng looked at her deeply, and suddenly wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.
He sneered, waved his hand to call a younger brother, and whispered a few words in his ear.
The younger brother looked surprised, glanced at Ling Yicheng, then looked at Su Xiaoli suspiciously, then turned around and ran to the next room.
"It seems that this place is really not suitable for you." Ling Yicheng smiled bitterly.
Before pulling Su Xiaoli into the car, the inexplicable anger, stubbornness and irritability that were swelling in his heart disappeared without a trace, and turned into a trace of softness that he could hardly detect.
He also couldn't bring Su Xiaoli to the table to play a few more rounds.
Although he would definitely let Su Xiaoli win, unfortunately the little girl had no interest at all.
Ling Yicheng took Su Xiaoli back to the car, and instead of driving back to the city, they drove towards the beach.
In the speeding car, Ling Yicheng was silent.
Su Xiaoli also remained silent. Her arm was still aching slightly, but it actually made her mind clearer.
Ling Yicheng parked the car on the shore and looked at the sea in the night.
The mountains were dark and cloudy, and in the distance one or two lights from the fishermen's houses were dim and yellow.
The surroundings are like an ancient cemetery, and the only sound that can be heard is the rage rushing from the mountains and the sea.
In a dark night like this, drinking and sharpening the knife are the only ways to relieve my loneliness and anger.
Su Xiaoli looked at his back, not knowing why he came here, but she could feel that this man would not hurt her.
Although he was the one who solved the problem, he was also the one who caused the trouble.
Whether for herself or for Gu Feihan, she didn't want these half-dark troubles to appear in front of the two of them.
"I don't know how much information you have found, but I think you also know that you are on different paths..." Su Xiaoli bit her lower lip lightly, and didn't say the rest, probably because Ling Yicheng understood.
Ling Yicheng's breathing obviously stopped.
"Do you hope that I will never appear in front of you?" He smiled bitterly and finally spoke.
His eyes grew colder.
In his world, human life is worthless, let alone the affection between relatives he has never met.
I'm afraid no one wants to be implicated by his evil deeds?
Su Xiaoli is not a saint. In fact, what she really wants to say is - it would be best if she doesn't show up.
But the words came to my lips but I couldn't speak.
She tightened her coat, pondered for a moment, and asked in a casual manner, "What I mean is... maybe it's a bit inappropriate to say this, but if you are really a member of the Lin family, do you plan to do this forever in the future?"
After a long while, Ling Yicheng said coldly: "After getting on the boat, can you still get off?"
Su Xiaoli had no idea how dark Ling Yicheng’s world was, but she also understood the truth that “it’s hard to get off a pirate ship.”
She is neither Buddha nor a pastor. Is she supposed to persuade people to turn back?
What position do I have to ask someone to give up his unbridled and arrogant attitude of having hundreds of people follow his orders?
"Just pretend I didn't say anything." Su Xiaoli's eyes returned to her usual calm and composed look.
Ling Yicheng's eyes tightened, and his eyes swept across the corners of her tightly pursed lips, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
My heart felt like it was stung, painful and soft.
"If you don't do this, do you have a better way?" He raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth and asked in a slow tone.
Su Xiaoli was stunned at first, and then she thought of something funny and actually laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of what it would look like if you put on an apron and made snacks, or stood at the counter and sold cosmetics to ladies... I couldn't help but laugh. I really didn't mean to."
Ling Yicheng was speechless.
This girl is really careless. She forgot about being bullied in the blink of an eye.
Wait, what did she say? Snacks and cosmetics.
By the way, these seem to be her business.
"Are you doing all these?" Ling Yicheng asked casually.
"Well, but we are just starting out, it's very hard, and we have little capital, so you must look down on us."
This is the truth. The monthly turnover of the underground DU venue is more than two or three times that of her three businesses combined. People like Ling Yicheng who deal with big money and quick money all day long would definitely look down on them.
She explained this purely to cover up the embarrassment of laughing.
Ling Yicheng was a little surprised.
Since he was a child, his world has been very simple in color, with only black and no white.
The remaining cynicism in his heart was nothing more than the feeling that he lost his parents at a young age, so even if he grew up crooked, it was not his fault.
The last time he went to northern Ji, he focused on investigating Gu Feihan and also checked on Su Xiaoli.
Not to mention Gu Feihan, who has been born into a wealthy family since childhood, and both his education and career development are influenced by the Lin family.
Su Xiaoli had a similar background to him. She had lost her father, her mother had married far away, and she only had a grandmother. Later, an uncle appeared out of nowhere, who was also a confused man.
This girl is busy running around all day and can't stop.
At that time, he was so shocked by the new clues about his life experience that he didn't think much about this girl. Now, it seems that he can't find any complaint or self-pity in her.
He originally had an indescribable feeling towards Su Xiaoli, and after knowing her life experience, he felt even more resonance and sympathy for her, but he did not expect that their mentalities were completely different.
Su Xiaoli was much stronger and more cheerful than he had imagined.
They are all forced into a situation where they have no choice. Not everyone has the courage to change. Some people become more depressed the more difficult the situation becomes. He is the same. He looks powerful, but in fact he is tied to this "boat". He dares not change but is full of resentment.
Compared to this girl, am I too jealous of the coldness of fate? It was as if a corner of the darkness in Ling Yicheng's heart was dug out, and the ray of light made it difficult for him to open his eyes.
After a long while, he finally said, "Your business seems to be very promising. Do you still need money?"
Happy New Year! I wish all book friends a happy and smooth new year.
