Chapter 198 The Dark and Vicious Man
"No, it's too expensive."
He Dan shook his head vigorously. He had just asked about the price. The cost of taking a bath was more expensive than his food expenses for two months. This bath was more precious than the emperor's. Even if he had money, he would not be willing to take a bath.
Lei Ming also shook his head. He was now completely sober. He really enjoyed washing in it and even wanted to wash in it for the rest of his life. This was the poisonous weed of the bourgeoisie, a sugar-coated bullet that corroded his iron will. He would never wash in it again.
It’s better to buy books with the money for taking a bath.
Lin Xianghong chuckled and didn't say anything. Lu Chen glanced at him and didn't say much. Everyone has their own aspirations. They are all adults. He couldn't control too much. Just saying one word was enough.
Whether you can listen or not depends on yourself.
Jiang Hanyan shook his head secretly. The Lin Xianghong in the book was harmed by a woman. If he didn't change his character, he would probably fall into the trap again.
Lu Chen first sent Lu Cheng back to school, and then sent Lin Xianghong and the others to the rental house. It had three bedrooms and two living rooms, and the house was pretty good. Lu Chen paid the rent, and the pots, pans, and kitchen utensils were all ready, so they could cook their own meals.
"Go across the alley across the street, there is a vegetable market. Go buy some vegetables and cook them at home, and eat out less in restaurants." Lu Chen stood by the window and pointed outside. It was very convenient to buy vegetables.
"Xiao Ming's cooking is delicious." He Dan smiled innocently.
Neither he nor Lin Xianghong knew how to cook, and the food they cooked tasted like pig food. Lei Ming, on the other hand, was a pretty good cook, and what he cooked was edible anyway.
"If Lei Ming cooks, you two can do the housework." Lu Chen reminded.
"I know. I was the one who washed his underpants and smelly socks." Lin Xianghong muttered softly.
He doesn't take advantage of others.
When the three of them lived in Fucheng, the division of labor was very clear. Lei Ming was responsible for buying groceries and cooking, He Dan mopped the floor and wiped the table, and he did the laundry, and they did a thorough cleaning once a week.
Lu Chen was relieved, and reminded him of some things to pay attention to, "Wear slippers at home, walk lightly, don't make noises when dragging chairs, don't shout at night, don't throw things out of the window, throw garbage to the garbage station downstairs..."
The three of them took note of it. They didn’t expect that there were so many rules in a big city.
After Lu Chen finished his instructions, he went downstairs. Jiang Hanyan was waiting for him downstairs.
On the way home, Jiang Hanyan reminded: "Lin Xianghong might do bad things with women, so you should be more careful in the future."
"Don't let him be in charge of important things, just watch the master work at the construction site."
Lu Chen also saw that Lei Ming was independent-minded and steady, with a firm will and clear goals, so he didn't need to worry. Although He Dan was not smart, he was loyal and simple and would not be influenced by external things, so he didn't need to worry either.
On the contrary, Lin Xianghong is a little clever, but he has no opinion and is impetuous. He is also not firm when it comes to women. Such people are most easily corrupted.
Jiang Hanyan was relieved, because Lu Chen had a plan in mind and didn't need her to remind him.
In a villa in the suburbs of Shanghai, a thin man in his forties was answering the phone with a gloomy face. The air pressure in the room was very low. The man standing next to him lowered his head, feeling nervous and not daring to breathe.
"A young and beautiful girl? She ruined my formation?" The thin man's voice was cold and his eyes were sinister.
"She was the one who smashed it. Master, what should I do with my restaurant? You must help me!" Liu Dapeng pleaded on the phone.
"Why rush? I'll go to the restaurant tomorrow."
The thin man scolded and hung up before Liu Dapeng could answer. He tapped his thin fingers on the table. After a long while, he asked softly, "Who broke the transfer array last time?"
"It seems to be a girl, someone hired by Boss Meng himself. Pan Wuyi is extremely unlucky now, and he is only left with one breath."
Ma Liang answered respectfully, not daring to hide anything.
He met this master by chance. He didn't know much about the master. He was originally engaged in bonsai and rockery. The master said that he had some bonsai and rockery and asked him to help sell them. He would give him 20% of the profit.
This master's bonsai and rockery are ridiculously expensive. A small bonsai costs four or five hundred thousand. If he can really sell them, he can get a lot of money.
Although he knew that the master was not a good person and the rockery bonsai he sold were not good things either, money was attractive and Ma Liang could not resist the temptation and agreed to cooperate.
In the past two years, he has sold hundreds of rockery bonsais, and both he and the master have made a fortune. When they first met, the master was dressed in rags and didn't even have a decent piece of clothing. Now he lives in a villa and drives a car.
Ma Liang was a little worried at first, afraid that there might be problems with the things he sold, but after two years, everything was calm and no one made trouble, so he put his mind at ease. He even expanded his business to other provinces and made more and more money.
But a while ago, there was a problem with the bonsai sold to Pan Wuyi, and he called to ask for the goods. Ma Liang refused outright. He instinctively felt that he was in trouble, and he reported it to the master, but the master did not take it seriously, and Ma Liang gradually forgot about it.
But just over a month later, something happened again, and this time the trouble was even bigger. Ma Liang was in a state of ups and downs and felt a little regretful.
One cannot earn ill-gotten gains. He is not worried about himself, but is afraid that the retribution will come to his children.
Especially after seeing Pan Wuyi's miserable condition, he became even more frightened.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Pan Wuyi, the playboy, has been having bad luck in the past month. He either has a car accident when he goes out or falls down when he walks. Even when he is eating quietly, a chicken bone may get stuck in his throat. Just a few days ago, a chicken bone pierced his lung, causing massive bleeding and taking away half of his life.
The unfortunate guy is still in the hospital for emergency treatment and is not out of danger yet.
Moreover, this unlucky guy lost all the money he had earned by using the luck-changing array, and even owed a huge debt. He was so unlucky that even his mother didn't recognize him.
Ma Liang was afraid of Pan Wuyi’s present, which was his future, and he was extremely afraid.
"Master, let me tell you something. My parents are old and in poor health. They want to live back in their hometown. I have to go home to take care of them. I can't take care of the business in the city. Master, how about looking for someone else?"
Ma Liang said cautiously that he could no longer do this job as he had elderly parents and young children to take care of, and nothing could possibly go wrong.
The thin man sneered and asked sarcastically, "Are you scared?"
"No, no, no, no... No, I really had no choice. If I wasn't the only son of my parents, I would not be willing to give up the business." Ma Liang's smile was uglier than crying. Cold sweat ran down his back and his clothes were soaked.
"Money is your true son. I'll pay for two babysitters to take care of your parents. You don't have to worry about it." The thin man smiled sinisterly, staring at Ma Liang with eyes like a venomous snake.
Ma Liang's scalp tingled, his bones felt cold, and he swallowed hard. He knew that if he dared not agree, the master would definitely kill him.
He died here without anyone knowing, and the police definitely won't be able to find out. This master definitely has that ability.
Gulp!
Ma Liang swallowed his saliva in big gulps. His throat was very dry. After swallowing for a long time, it was still very dry. He forced a smile and nodded mechanically. "The master's arrangement is still good. I will do as the master says."
"That's right, do your job well, I won't treat you unfairly!"
The thin man patted him on the shoulder gently. His cold hands were like a snake in summer. Ma Liang was shaking all over with cold, as if he had the hiccups. His face had an expression that looked like he was both crying and laughing.
