Chapter 38 Escape
Shen Xingran never dreamed of this.
One day, he asked Shen Xingzhuo for help.
Shen Xingzhuo didn't care what he said at all, but instead asked him if Lu Ran was wronged.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Shen Xingran couldn't believe it.
He subconsciously avoided Shen Xingzhuo's question, pulled his arm and begged: "Brother, please help me, only you can help me!"
"Shen Xingran."
Shen Xingzhuo called him.
It was his full name.
Shen Xingran looked up blankly and met Shen Xingzhuo's dark eyes.
Shen Xingzhuo's expression made Shen Xingran feel very strange.
He had seen Shen Xingzhuo get angry, or the two of them quarreled.
But this time, Shen Xingzhuo's tone was too calm.
He just stared at him calmly and asked, "Is it you?"
This one sentence made Shen Xingran jump up like a cat with its tail stepped on.
He was extremely panicked.
Mrs. Shen was cold and indifferent to him.
Shen Xingzhuo was actually like this?
"Brother, I didn't." Shen Xingran didn't know how much Shen Xingzhuo knew, so he could only try to excuse himself, "It was Zhang Lin's own plan! He only told me that he wanted to cause trouble for Lu Ran, and I even advised him. I really didn't know he wanted to sleep with Lu Ran!"
Shen Xingran was also telling the truth.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shen Xingzhuo's expression suddenly become fierce: "What did you say?"
Shen Xingzhuo even stepped forward and grabbed Shen Xingran's collar: "What does he want to do to Lu Ran?!"
Shen Xingran was annoyed to death.
He was about to say a few more words, but Shen Xingzhuo suddenly let go of his hand and walked back.
Shen Xingran still remembered the purpose of his visit.
He hurried over to stop Shen Xingzhuo and asked, "Brother, can you do me a favor?"
Shen Xingzhuo's eyes were almost blazing with anger.
He walked towards the car, while forcing himself to suppress his temper and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"You, you..." Shen Xingran forced himself to suppress the panic in his heart and begged, "Just like when we were little, brother, tell mom that the rumor about the illegitimate child was made up by you, okay?"
Shen Xingzhuo paused.
He looked at Shen Xingran in disbelief.
Looking at this younger brother whom he had doted on for many years.
"Shen Xingran, what are you talking about?" he asked.
"Brother! Listen to me." Shen Xingran explained hurriedly, "You are my mother's biological son. Even if she is angry, she won't be angry for too long, let alone do anything to you. But I am just adopted, so brother, can you help me?"
It was windy today.
The cold wind blew through the gaps, making a sharp whistle.
Shen Xingzhuo looked down at Shen Xingran.
He suddenly wanted to laugh and asked, "Do you think my mother will believe it? Why should I target Lu Ran and say that Lu Ran is an illegitimate child?"
Shen Xingran suddenly collapsed.
During this period, he first endured the cold violence of Mrs. Shen.
Now Shen Xingzhuo, who had always spoiled him, has this attitude again.
Shen Xingzhuo finally couldn't hold it back.
"Shen Xingzhuo, what's wrong with you!" He lost his weak expression, pointed at Shen Xingzhuo in disbelief and cursed, "What's wrong with you?"
"Don't you always hate Lu Ran?"
"Why am I begging you now, but you keep Lu Ran, Lu Ran, Lu Ran!"
"What does his life or death have to do with you!"
"Because he is my brother!"
Shen Xingzhuo roared.
The roar was caught in the harsh sound of the wind, which could almost puncture a person's eardrum.
With a "bang",
Shen Xingzhuo closed the car door and left.
A private club.
The music and drums in the box sounded cheerfully.
The voices were even more noisy.
The circular box was surrounded by a circle of expensive leather sofas.
In the center was a glass circular platform.
This platform is not a tea table, but a small stage.
At this moment, there is no voluptuous dancer on the stage, but a man in a waiter's uniform.
The boy stood there with a dull look in his eyes.
As the people around him cheered, someone took a bottle of wine and poured it on his head.
The wine poured down from the top of his head.
It soaked through the collar and stained the white waiter's uniform with red wine.
The club owner was afraid of causing trouble.
He came over in person to apologize to the person sitting in the main seat: "Mr. Zhang, you are a magnanimous person. This kid doesn't know your preferences on his first day at work. Don't let him be a nuisance to you. I'll bring you some obedient ones?"
Zhang Lin was unmoved.
He raised his hand to signal the follower beside him to continue pouring.
After each bottle was poured, someone shouted the price beside him.
The high price made the boy on the podium tremble constantly.
After trembling for a while, he became completely numb.
The boss stood aside with a bitter look on his face.
Just as he asked someone to find the contact information of Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang.
The door of the private room suddenly opened.
The room was quiet.
Zhang Lin looked at Shen Xingzhuo and was also stunned.
He smiled and greeted: "Hey, rare guest, why are you here today, Mr. Shen?"
His tone sounded very relaxed.
But in fact, Zhang Lin was not in a relaxed mood.
Because he suddenly found that Shen Xingzhuo looked a bit like Lu Ran.
Zhang Lin was now completely ptsd to Lu Ran.
Shen Xingzhuo didn't say anything.
He looked around the box and pointed at the person who was singing and said, "Get out."
The voice in the box paused.
Then Shen Xingzhuo looked at the others in the box: "Everyone get out."
The others hesitated for a few seconds, looked at Zhang Lin, then looked at Shen Xingzhuo, silently stopped what they were doing, and walked out of the box.
When passing by the circular stage, Shen Xingzhuo casually said, "You get out too."
The boss on the side was as if he had been pardoned, and quickly signaled the boy on the podium to leave. As soon as
the boy left, the boss also got a sentence: "What are you still doing here?"
The boss rubbed his hands and left helplessly.
Wait until everyone in the box has left.
Zhang Lin sat up straight, looked at Shen Xingzhuo strangely, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
His relationship with Shen Xingzhuo was neither good nor bad.
After all, there was Shen Xingran in between.
But the next second, Zhang Lin felt a sharp pain in his cheekbone.
Shen Xingzhuo grabbed his hair, pressed him to the ground and started beating him.
Shen Xingzhuo had practiced free fighting, and his punches were deadly. This time he beat him to death.
Zhang Lin was stunned by the beating.
He covered his face and wailed for a long time before he found a gap to ask, "Are you crazy?"
"Who told you to mess with my brother?"
Shen Xingzhuo raised his eyes, his eyes were red, and he scared Zhang Lin: "You, what did you say?"
"Who the hell allowed you to mess with my brother!"
Fists fell like raindrops again.
Zhang Lin was still confused until he passed out from the beating: "Who offended Shen Xingran?"
In the evening.
Lu Ran was still guarding the store.
Xiao Wang was going on a date with his girlfriend today and left early.
Usually Xiao Wang was very nice to Lu Ran and let him go first.
So this time Lu Ran took the initiative to stay.
But at this time, usually not many people come.
It perfectly proves the characteristic of "few people during non-working hours" that someone said.
While reciting words, Lu Ran looked at the time on his mobile phone, patiently waiting for the moment to close the store after work.
It was a little late to pick up Da Huang today.
I wonder if Da Huang will be anxious.
Thinking.
"Ding Dong", the automatic sensor door rang.
Lu Ran's face fell immediately.
It was a bit unpleasant to receive an overtime notice before getting off work.
But he quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Welcome."
As soon as he said that, Lu Ran looked up and saw Shen Xingzhuo.
The man was covered in dust.
His hair was a little messy.
He had a calmness after a frenzy.
When he got closer, Lu Ran keenly observed that there was blood on the man's fist.
The skin on his knuckles exploded, and there were some small wounds.
It was obvious that he had just beaten someone.
Seeing him approaching the counter, Lu Ran quickly retreated eight meters away.
Holding on to the door frame of the back kitchen, he looked at Shen Xingzhuo warily and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Shen Xingzhuo was stunned by his avoidance.
Soon he realized that he looked a little strange.
He waved his hand and said casually, "I beat up an idiot."
"Oh." Lu Ran didn't care who he beat up.
As long as he didn't beat himself, it was fine.
Shen Xingzhuo looked at the boy who was hiding half of his body in the back kitchen, with only half of his head exposed, looking at him.
He paused, took two steps back, and sat down at the table next to him.
First, he straightened his collar that was messed up in the fight.
Then he took a tissue to wipe the blood on his hands.
But the blood had dried up and stuck to the skin, and it couldn't be wiped off no matter how hard he wiped.
Lu Ran had slowly moved back to the counter from the back kitchen.
He rummaged through his bag, took out a pack of wet tissues from it and threw it to Shen Xingzhuo.
Shen Xingzhuo raised his hand to take it, and his heart was happy.
When he took it and looked down, he saw that it was written on the bag: Wet wipes for pets.
Lu Ran added, "It's for wiping Da Huang's eye mucus."
Shen Xingzhuo: "..."
He didn't know whether to use it or not.
In the end, he took out one and wiped it casually.
Looking at the pattern printed on the packaging paper bag, Shen Xingzhuo thought of the yellow dog again and asked, "Where did you put Da Huang now?"
He felt something was wrong after asking. He
looked up and met Lu Ran's wary eyes.
Lu Ran: "Why are you asking this?"
Shen Xingzhuo instantly lost the ferocity when he beat Zhang Lin.
He subconsciously explained, "I didn't... just asked casually."
"Oh." Lu Ran responded, but didn't believe it.
He lowered his head and sat on his own things.
Then Shen Xingzhuo asked, "Are you still working in this store?"
Lu Ran looked up and saw the young master with a look of idiocy in his eyes, asking him, "Are you short of money?"
"What else?" Lu Ran almost laughed, "Am I short of part-time experience?"
Shen Xingzhuo also realized that he seemed to have asked a stupid question.
He lowered his head and fiddled with his phone.
Suddenly, Lu Ran's phone vibrated.
He picked it up and was stunned.
Shen Xingzhuo transferred a sum of money to him. It
was different from the part-time salary he had made before.
This was a large transfer.
Six digits.
Six digits may be commonplace in the eyes of other people in the Shen family.
For Shen Xingran, it may just be ordinary pocket money.
But it was enough to shock Lu Ran.
"Why did you transfer money to me?" Lu Ran asked.
Shen Xingzhuo looked up blankly: "Aren't you short of money?"
Lu Ran looked at him warily and said, "Da Huang doesn't sell it."
"No, I..."
Shen Xingzhuo didn't expect that one day he would even need to find a reason to give money.
Lu Ran stared at the large transfer. He
quickly calculated in his mind what Shen Xingzhuo was doing.
Although, he knew that if you have money and don't make money, you are a bastard.
But the amount of money has exceeded the psychological defense of Lu Ran, an ordinary college student.
Something must be wrong when things are abnormal.
Lu Ran didn't dare to take it.
The next second, Shen Xingzhuo received a reminder of the transfer return on his mobile phone.
Shen Xingzhuo paused.
He raised his head and looked behind the counter.
The boy stood there and looked at him quietly.
The dim light of the coffee shop, shining on the boy's hair and eyes, suddenly added a sense of untouchable distance.
"I returned the money." Lu Ran said, "I'm doing well in my current job and don't want to change."
Shen Xingzhuo felt a sudden pain in his chest.
The money was returned, which was like a slap in his face.
But Shen Xingzhuo didn't have the urge to get angry at all.
He even lost the strength to speak. He
just nodded silently.
He stretched out his arm and put the bag of pet wipes on the table back to the counter.
Then he turned around and fled from the coffee shop.
