In the blink of an eye, it was almost the end of the year, and the New Year’s atmosphere on the streets was getting stronger and stronger.
It was the coldest time of the year, so it was normal for a friend to treat you to hotpot.
But that night, Feng bujue, who was invited by Xiao Tan to one of the private rooms in a certain restaurant, felt something strange …
Gu du Gu du
There were three people sitting in the private room, but no one spoke … Only the sound of the boiling soup could be heard.
“Looks like … I’ll have to speak first …” In the end, it was Feng bujue who broke the silence.
“Why are you so serious?” Bao Qing turned to look at him and asked,”you didn’t bring any money?”
“You guys don’t have to act anymore.” Feng bujue’s tone was still serious.”I could tell the moment I walked in … This is a trap.”
“Brother Jue …” The corner of Xiao Tan’s mouth twitched before he said,”this meal is really not expensive, and the private room is not bad either … Furthermore, I was planning to treat you to this meal anyway.”
“Humph …” Feng bujue snorted when he heard that.”Xiao Tan, master Bao …” His eyes scanned the two of them.”Your habits, small actions, and subconscious micro-expressions … I know them better than anyone else …” He ignored the two’s conversation about the meal and continued.”Since I came in, the two of you have not spoken more than ten sentences, and your gazes have not crossed more than three times. Xiao Tan, someone who rarely crossed his legs, did it twice and played with his fingers three times … And master Bao, as someone who values table manners, you lowered your head to look at your phone five times …”
He said all this in one breath, then looked at the two dumbfounded people and asked in a deep voice,””You guys … Are you here to arrest me under section Chief Gu’s orders?”
“No.” Bao Qing replied decisively.
“Oh?” Feng bujue raised an eyebrow.”Could it be … That they are here to kill me?”
“Hehe …” Bao Qing laughed drily.”I can’t kill you. You’ve practiced the escaping armor heavenly book and have special abilities. I can’t kill you alone without any equipment.”
“There’s still Xiao Tan. ” Feng bujue glanced at Xiao Tan.”I’ve heard about it. Your family has been cultivating for generations, right?”
“Er …” Xiao Tan did not even know how to respond.”Actually …” Therefore, he skipped the nonsensical question and went straight to the point.”I’ve invited you all here today to give out wedding invitations …” As he said that, he took out a red envelope from his pocket and placed it before brother Jue.”Because master Bao arrived earlier than you, and he has something to do later, I’ve already given him his envelope earlier.”
Silence descended once again.
After a short conversation, Feng bujue’s speculation was overturned. He didn’t say anything for a long time, and the atmosphere became a little awkward, just like the lyrics that Yingying was most afraid of the sudden silence.
“Hmm …” A moment later, brother Jue’s serious tone returned to his usual lazy tone.”Then why … After I came in, you guys didn’t talk much?”
Bao Qing replied calmly,”you’re late by half an hour without saying hello. What do you want to hear after you come in?” Do you want us to say ‘it’s fine, we just got here’?”
“Then why do you keep looking at your phone?” Brother Jue asked again.
“Didn’t Xiao Tan say so? I ‘m’ busy ‘later. ” Bao Qing replied.
“Business?” Feng bujue said.
“No comment.” Bao Qing blurted out without even thinking.
“Oh … Business, then.” Brother Jue nodded and then turned to Xiao Tan.”Hmm … Then why do you look so uneasy and guilty?”
“Hmm …” Xiao Tan thought about it. “On one hand … Because you didn’t talk to us earlier, the atmosphere was so tense. I thought you had something on your mind, so I hesitated and didn’t say anything.”On the other hand …” He stood up and continued,”actually, I’ve eaten too much hotpot for the past two days. I’m having a stomachache … Since I’m fine now, I’ll go to the toilet first.”
After saying that, he clutched his stomach and ran out.
“F * ck, can’t I not eat when I’m having an upset stomach?” Feng bujue rolled his eyes and yelled at Xiao Tan’s back.
After messing around for so long, it was not that the other party had a guilty conscience, but that he had sh * t in his stomach.
“There are two types of people in this world …” Bao Qing said as he looked down at his phone.”The first type is those who like to Eat Mexico tazelles, but they have severe diarrhea and never eat them again. The second type is those who Eat Mexico and go out to buy new underwear after excreting a lot of blood …”
“HO …” Feng bujue tried to understand the meaning behind the man’s words.”Even though I think it’s more appropriate to use surprise as an example here, but your …”
“Hey, hey! You got the main point wrong, didn’t you?” Bao Qing put down his phone and interrupted brother Jue.”This is your reaction when you see an ‘invitation’? Our brothers are about to get married, and you’re focusing on the example I used to complain?”
“It’s a little inaccurate to say ‘immediately’.” “Technically … He is already married,” Feng bujue explained.”From the records at the Civil Affairs Bureau, he and Ling’s marriage has already been registered.”
“Ha?” Bao Qing was dumbfounded.”How did you know?” After two seconds, he seemed to have thought of something.”Xiao Tan told you? He didn’t tell me. ”
“No, no… He didn’t tell anyone other than him and Ling, as well as their families.” “I found it myself,” Feng bujue replied. He spread out his hands.”You know me. I like to read the database of government agencies for fun. However, since last year, your Section Chief Gu has strictly prohibited me from wandering in the public security and law system. I have no choice … I can only shift my target to the Civil Affairs Department and those semi-bureaucratic institutions … By the way, do you want to hear a few toilet jokes about the Chinese Football Association and the writers ‘Association? I recently wrote dozens of them while I was shitting. I’m considering submitting them online to make some extra money with my sockpuppet. How about you try the jokes as an audience?”
“I pretended I didn’t hear what you said after that …” Bao Qing narrowed his eyes.”More importantly … You already knew that Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling were registered, but you didn’t tell me?”
“We’re just respecting his privacy. Can’t we just let him tell us himself?” Feng bujue replied without changing his expression.
“At this moment, you are acting ‘shameless’, do you know that?” Bao Qing said.
“I’m very respectful of her privacy. ” Feng bujue shrugged.”You see … Before he took out the invitation, did I reveal anything about his marriage?”
Bao Qing thought for a long time, but he couldn’t think of a way to refute the other party’s words.
“But then again … The way you two looked just now really scared me.” “I really thought it was manager Gu who sent you two to deal with me,” Feng bujue said. He took out his phone and stood up.”Anyway … It’s good that you’re fine. I’ll go out and make a call.”
“Ha?” Bao Qing turned around and looked at him.”There’s only the two of us here. Why do you have to go out and make a phone call?”
“It’s nothing. I thought I was ambushed earlier, so when you guys weren’t paying attention, I placed my hand in my pocket and sent out some messages, notified some people, and arranged some backup plans …” Feng bujue said as he walked.”Since everything is fine now, I should cancel those arrangements as soon as possible. Of course … They have to hear my own voice before …”
“Alright, alright, it’s done.” Bao Qing facepalmed and shook his head. He interrupted brother Jue again.”Just pretend I didn’t ask …”
Bao Qing had actually seen something similar before. That was during their high school days …
One day, a boy from a rather powerful family who had a conflict with Feng bujue before asked him out for a one-on-one fight. Brother Jue thought that the man would set up an ambush for him, but he did come alone. After the one-on-one fight, he accepted the challenge without any complaints.
At that time, Bao Qing and Xiao Tan, who had been hiding in the dark as a backup plan, had heard brother Jue say those two words to the boy.”How many people know that you’re here today?” “Um … You’d better wait for me to make a few calls before you go home.”
After a while, when Bao Qing finally understood the meaning of those two sentences … He felt a lingering fear.
No one knew how many ‘backup plans’ Feng bujue had, and no one knew … What he would do or how far he would go.
However, everyone had a common consensus that if the end of the world suddenly came one day, it was best to find someone with emergency measures around you. Of course, there was the possibility that he would be used as emergency food.
“Hello?” Brother Jue did not walk too far. The soundproofing of the hotel walls was quite good, so he picked up the phone in the corridor.”Snow? Ah … It’s me … It was a false alarm, your people don’t need to come. ”
“How heartless …” Snow’s slightly teasing voice came from the phone.”Am I the kind of friend you only contact when you need me?”
“Don’t make it sound like we have some sort of physical relationship. ” “Just say that we’re friends who used each other,” Feng bujue said.”Or you can omit the word ‘friends’. I don’t mind.”
“Hehe …” Snow laughed.”Sure, as long as you’re happy …” He paused.”But since we’re using each other … My men came here for nothing tonight. They also spent a lot of manpower and gas money …”
“Two scripts.” Feng bujue knew what the man was going to say, so he cut to the chase.
“Three,” Snow immediately started to bargain.
“Two.” Feng bujue repeated with conviction.
“That’s in sleep mode. ” Snow said.
“Deal,” he said. After brother Jue set his conditions, he was ready to hang up.”If there’s nothing else, I …”
“Hey …” Snow raised his voice and said,”by the way, I just saw a big piece of news on the game forum. It’s related to you.”
“Oh?” “What is it?” Feng bujue asked.
“This evening, red Sakura Studio released an announcement on their official website, announcing that the Super popular player [Xu Huai Shang] had peacefully terminated his contract with the studio half a month ago. As soon as the news came out, the entire gaming industry was in an uproar. According to sources, in the contract of star players of this level, there were very detailed rules on the termination of the contract. The contract termination notice could only be released by the studio after both parties had settled all the contract termination matters. If the player disclosed the relevant information before the studio, she would still bear the corresponding responsibility for the breach of contract even if the contract period was up. And the longest time it takes to terminate a contract is 15 working days … It seems like losing her pillar was a huge blow to Hong Ying, so they’ve been delaying the announcement until the very last moment. ” Snow read the news article from the original text.
“So … What does this have to do with me?” Feng bujue replied calmly.
Even though he looked calm on the surface, in reality … When he asked this question, brother Jue already had a bad feeling.
“Hehe …” Snow had been waiting for this question. He smiled insidiously and replied,”our reporter interviewed Xu Huai Shang at the first opportunity. When asked which studio she would work in, Xu Huai Shang said that she couldn’t join other gaming studios for the next six months due to the non-competition clause. The reporter asked her if she would take this opportunity to enter the entertainment industry, and Xu Huaishang said that she would not leave the gaming industry. Even if she left one day, she would not enter the entertainment industry. In the end, when the reporter asked her about her plans for the next six months, she replied that she was considering joining some powerful non-professional player clubs. When she was asked which club she wanted to consider first, Xu Huai Shang’s reply was “hell frontline.”
