Chapter 42
There weren't many people eating hot pot, so it was easy for the two of us to find a suitable seat.
The so-called suitable means that the food outlet is close, and you can get what you want to eat at the first time, and there is a condiment table next to it, which is very convenient to take at any time.
Jiang Chengyi had never eaten such a hot pot before. His curiosity was overflowing and his appetite increased greatly. He even tried a lot of ingredients that he usually wouldn't even want to touch.
"I've thought about it carefully. You're not going to be able to just sit here all the time." Pei Muyang explained to him earnestly while eating. "If you want a cell phone, you can't just rely on your ancestors' wealth. You have to be down-to-earth. Find a suitable job and earn money to buy it yourself. That's much more reliable."
Pei Muyang chose the spicy hot pot with beef oil. The steam from the hot pot soaked his bangs into strands, sticking tightly to his smooth forehead. He felt uncomfortable, so he lifted his bangs upwards, revealing his misty eyes. Even his mouth with delicate lip lines was slightly swollen from the spiciness, and he was sticking out his tongue to relieve the pain.
Jiang Chengyi's mind had already drifted to who knows where...
"...I'm talking to you, are you listening?"
A slender hand snapped its fingers in front of his eyes, forcing Jiang Chengyi's mind back to reality. He looked at the boy in front of him who was dissatisfied with his absent-minded attitude, and forced himself to suppress his dirty thoughts that he could not show in front of others.
"I'm listening. I'll find a suitable job, but I don't have much work experience, so I'm afraid it'll be hard to find a high-paying job right away. Oh, and your job as a delivery driver is pretty good. Could you give me a tour?"
"Of course you can. Can you ride an electric scooter?"
Jiang, who always had a special car to pick him up: "..."
"No? That's difficult. After all, food delivery is done by scooter."
"Can't you drive?"
Seeing Pei Muyang about to refuse him, Jiang Chengyi asked an outrageous question in a moment of desperation.
Very good, this sentence successfully reduced his intelligence to that of an idiot in Pei Muyang's mind.
"Driving? You only make six bucks per trip, and that doesn't even include your parking fees and traffic violation fines. The fines for being stuck in traffic and exceeding the time limit alone are enough to make you pay for everything!"
"So, are you really considering finding a job to earn money?"
Pei Muyang looked at the man in front of him suspiciously, but the man wisely lowered his head and ate the ingredients he had put in the hot pot seriously.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Chengyi shamelessly followed Pei Muyang back to the garden party venue.
Originally, Pei Muyang wanted to persuade him to go out and find a job instead of wasting time here, but Jiang Chengyi said that one should be persistent in doing things. There was only a day and a half left anyway. What if he could win the grand prize of a mobile phone in the remaining time?
"Isn't that a pity?"
Jiang Chengyi asked back, and what he said made so much sense that Pei Muyang couldn't refute it at all.
The work in the afternoon was relatively easier. Pei Muyang greeted the customers who came to catch fish while taking the time to instruct Jiang Chengyi, who still had evil intentions.
At this moment, there seemed to be a commotion in the distance. Pei Muyang looked up curiously and saw that seven or eight ferocious-looking men had broken into the venue of the garden party at some point.
As they walked, those people pushed and shoved the tourists who were blocking the road, and their exposed arms were covered with colorful and horrifying tattoos.
Several timid girls were pushed to the ground and cried out of fear. The most bizarre thing was that those people actually walked straight towards Pei Muyang.
"Brother, I found out clearly, it's him!"
A man who looked like a groundhog pointed at Pei Muyang and spoke to the man who should be the leader of their group.
The man had a cigarette in his mouth and a large gold chain around his neck. His sleeveless sweatshirt allowed one to see the non-mainstream tattoo on his arm that consisted of a rose and a skull.
At this time, he was half-closing his eyes, puffing out smoke and looking Pei Muyang up and down.
"You? The pretty boy who bullied my sister?"
Although Mu Yang was confused, he was not panicked at all. He persuaded the two frightened little girls in the stall to leave, and stared at the man opposite with a cold look.
"Bullying your sister?"
"Haha! My sister just ran back crying. I've never let her cry in her life. How dare you, a bitch, make her cry?"
"Who is your sister?"
He had some guesses in his mind, but he was not quite sure. After all, there are so many people in good mental states nowadays. Who knows who he had offended?
"You bastard! My sister is crying for you, and you don't even know who she is? Come on, knock him out and carry him away."
"But brother, I heard that this guy is gay."
"Bah, I don't care if he's gay or not. As long as my sister likes him, even if he's a eunuch, I'll take him back to bed with him."
"Brother, this is not good, right? Does this count as kidnapping?"
"What's wrong with kidnapping? I'm your brother, so I'm responsible for everything. Isn't that what a man should be? He should be able to work here in the hot weather. Just take him away and release him after my sister has had enough fun."
The man spat the cigarette butt on the ground in an obscene manner, stepped on it, and said nonchalantly.
Seeing these people getting closer and closer to him, Pei Muyang realized that these ignorant people were really planning to kidnap him.
no……
The Qing Dynasty has been gone for so many years. These street urchins don't really think they can escape legal punishment by kidnapping people in broad daylight, do they?
Pei Muyang was speechless, but he did not dare to take it lightly. It's not like he had never won a one-on-seven fight, but that was only in the "Bright as the Sun" in the game. In reality, even if Pei Muyang fought one-on-one, he could not guarantee that he could remain unscathed.
The only option now was to run away, because he absolutely could not get hurt.
Just as he was staring at the group of people vigilantly and retreating carefully step by step, he suddenly bumped into a strong body from behind.
He looked back and happened to meet a pair of eyes that were looking at him with great concern.
Is it... Jiang Chengyi?
Why is he still here? He thought Jiang Chengyi had left long ago.
Jiang Chengyi looked at the gangsters in front of him with a cold expression.
The reason why he didn't step forward to protect Pei Muyang immediately was because after he found the situation difficult, he immediately called Zhou Yue.
The bodyguards lurking around and the security of the garden party are on their way. Before that, he must protect Pei Muyang's safety at all costs.
She put her bony hands around the boy's shoulders, easily switched positions with him, and used her body to completely cover the boy.
He was about to step forward and argue with those scumbags, but Pei Muyang grabbed his arm tightly.
The boy shook his head at him with determination.
Don't be impulsive. If we can't win, let's take the opportunity to run away.
The boy's lips were unusually pale, and there were two faint teeth marks on his lower lip. It seemed that he was really nervous.
Jiang Chengyi frowned in pain. He really wanted to hug Pei Muyang and comfort him, but his current status was not suitable for him to make such intimate actions in public. Although it would feel good to take advantage of someone's misfortune, it would be counterproductive if he scared the boy.
Just as the two of them were exchanging glances, the thugs became impatient. The leader, the one with tattooed arms, looked at Jiang Chengyi with shaking legs, and asked his subordinates with some disdain.
"Who is this pretty boy?"
"Brother, I heard that he is that boy's boyfriend."
"Ha! You were the one who just scolded my sister, weren't you? I was just worried I had nowhere to go to find you. Today, neither of you two can escape. Catch them both!"
“It’s Big Brother!”
Seeing that the two sides could not end the conflict peacefully, Pei Muyang quickly appeared from behind Jiang Chengyi and prepared to attack.
There’s no other way, let’s fight!
Although there were so many people on the other side, and each of them looked very capable in fighting, it was a stretch for him and Jiang Chengyi to trade two for one. But no matter what, today's incident was caused by him, and Jiang Chengyi was innocently implicated. He could not and would not let him get hurt because of him.
His fist made a sound when it was clenched. Pei Muyang bit his back teeth and exerted strength secretly. Just when he was about to throw the first punch, the man behind him actually hugged him around the waist.
"Wait, don't be impulsive." Jiang Chengyi held down his struggling limbs and whispered in his ear, "Trust me, someone will be here soon."
Pei Muyang paused, puzzled, "Did you secretly call the police?"
Jiang Chengyi remained silent. This place was remote and calling the police would be of little use.
But fortunately, he still has a trump card.
"Hey, hey, we haven't even said we'd start first, and you still want to hit us? Go ahead and hit us! Go ahead and hit us! You idiot! Since you don't dare to hit us, then let us do it. Go to hell!"
The man with the big flowered arms rushed towards Pei Muyang while shouting and swinging his fists, but before he got close to him, Jiang Chengyi protected Pei Muyang and counterattacked with a side kick.
In theory, the two men's speed was comparable, but the difference was that the man with the big flowery arm's arm was much shorter than Jiang Chengyi's leg, so his fist was kicked hard before it was even halfway through.
Moreover, Jiang Chengyi kicked in a very targeted place. With one kick, the man with flowery arms fell to his knees on the ground, covering his lower body and unable to stand up.
Every male comrade present took a deep breath.
Sure enough, men understand men best...
At this moment, the sound of neat and powerful footsteps came from a distance.
The sound was so shocking that even the thugs couldn't help but turn around to look for the source of the sound.
I saw a dozen strong men wearing black suits, black sunglasses and Bluetooth headsets on their ears running towards this side quickly. Following closely behind them were people in security uniforms. They were holding batons in their hands and had serious faces. Some of them were so nervous that sweat beads appeared on their faces.
It looked like something big was about to happen.
"Hello, President."
A uniform voice echoed throughout the surroundings, and as those people stopped and stood still, this strange greeting came out of their mouths.
Not only were Da Huabi and the others confused, even Pei Muyang couldn't understand what was going on.
President? Who is the president here?
He looked around, but there wasn't even a suspicious person.
But those people just bowed at a 45-degree angle in their direction, so who is the president here?
At this moment, someone was embarrassedly trying to dig out a Hogwarts castle.
These guys...
The veins on Jiang Chengyi's clenched fists were bulging. He had finally managed to get Pei Muyang to have some good feelings towards him, but in the end, these people he hired at a high price were the ones who ruined his plans. They were just about to strip him of his underwear and stick him on a flagpole for public execution.
He thought to himself that he couldn't panic, because if he panicked he would have no way to explain his suspected fraudulent behavior. He had to think of a way to cover up his lie quickly.
Because at this time Pei Muyang had ruled out other possibilities and was looking at Jiang Chengyi standing next to him with suspicion.
Seeing that the vest could no longer be concealed, he suddenly came up with a brilliant idea...
