My face darkened.
"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong..."
Gabe looked at me quietly and said in a low voice: "With you here, I seem to sleep very soundly. In the past seven years, I have never slept more than six hours a day."
After leaving Gabe, I didn’t take a taxi back to my family area, nor did I go to the appraisal center.
I wandered aimlessly along the long streets, letting the bone-chilling snow pour all over my body.
I thought about a lot of things, but the more I thought about it, the less I could figure it out, until Haiye called me.
"Boss Tong. Did you forget something that you didn't do today?"
"What's up?"
"What's the matter? You are such a noble person and forget things. May I ask you, the respected sword catcher, where are you now?"
When I heard Haiye's sinister tone, I felt sick and irritable, so I was about to hang up the phone.
"Sun God Needle..."
When I heard the Sun God Needle, my hand hovered over the button and I said in a deep voice: "What's the problem? What can I do? Say it quickly. Say it all at once."
On the other end of the phone, Haiye sneered: "Sun God Needle...it's okay. I just wanted to ask, Assistant Tong, where are you?"
My breathing became heavier; "What on earth is going on?"
"I'm fine, but you are."
"Tong Laoliu!"
Before I could recover, Haiye's voice suddenly rose eight steps, and the speakers of the mobile phone vibrated wildly: "Tong Laoliu. ***We have an exam today!"
"You bastard!"
"The fifth round of the war starts today. Boss Tang, Zhuang Chi, Hua and Ma Zhongchao are going crazy looking for you. It's just a matter of not reporting a missing person."
My eyelids twitched heavily, I hit my head hard, my voice was bitter: "Is it over?"
"It's not over yet."
Haiye said cheerfully in a protracted tone: "They have all set off. Boss Tang asked me to tell you the old saying, if you are sick, don't participate."
I frowned and was about to ask Haiye for the coordinates and time.
The next second, Haiye said slowly: "Anyway, you used to drink their foot-washing water. You might as well just pretend to be sick."
"After all, this is the King of Gods..."
My eyes suddenly went dark. A word burst out from between his teeth: "Coordinates!"
When I heard the coordinates reported by Haiye, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Just after hanging up the phone, another number was displayed on the phone screen.
This string of numbers is very strange. The number is actually seventeen digits long. Not only are there numbers, there are also symbols.
This is a special number, he can call it, but if you press call back, you will never be able to get through.
I just pressed the connect button and before I said a word, a cold and solemn voice suddenly came to my ears.
"Child teacher?"
I looked up instinctively and saw two strangers standing in front of me.
The next second, two more people appeared in the corner of my eye.
On the road to my left, there were two off-road vehicles parked.
A Land Rover and a Mercedes-Benz Grand G!
Directly in front of me, the man in his forties looked at me blankly, his eyes cold: "Are you a Fangzhou child teacher?"
When the man asked me my name, several passers-by in ordinary clothes gathered around me from three sides to my front, back and right.
These people looked at me with very wary eyes and extremely serious expressions. He seemed to be afraid of me.
I nodded silently: "I am."
The middle-aged man looked at me coldly, handed out a black book and stated his name: "There is a case that requires your help. Come with us."
"What case?"
"You don't know what you did?"
The middle-aged man Xu Shijie stared at me coldly, with ridicule and provocation: "Don't let me pretend like this. Men, dare to do what you want."
"Come with me."
I lowered my eyelids and said softly: "It's okay to go with you. Can you let me go first?"
Take a test? "
"You think I would agree?"
Xu Shijie said with a cold black face: "Don't force my people to take action."
I looked at the plainclothes people gathered around me with a calm expression: "This exam is very important to me."
Xu Shijie held my backpack strap and showed a hint of ridicule: "Is it important? How important is it? If not, you will have to take exams inside for the rest of your life."
I put the phone flat on my palm and sent it to Xu Shijie: "Please tell him. I can't go."
Xu Shijie was not polite, grabbed the phone and yelled at the other side.
While roaring, Xu Shijie waved his hand and asked someone to escort me into the car.
"Who am I? Who do you care who I am?"
"Who the hell do I care? His exam is very important? Okay. Like this, you bring me his exam papers."
"I will be his invigilator. I will help you with your exams."
After getting into the car with my phone, Xu Shijie sat in the passenger seat and looked back at me, spraying thick smoke into my face one after another.
Finally, Xu Shijie picked up my backpack again.
During this period, my phone kept ringing, but Xu Shijie refused to answer it. In the end, he got tired of it and turned off the phone.
The car started and turned onto the main street. After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Xu Shijie's straight phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Xu Shijie immediately sat up straight and answered the call quickly.
"Report."
"Yes. He's a child teacher. He's from Fangzhou. He's been pinned down by us. This kid looks honest, but he's actually pretty good..."
Before the report was over, a loud roar came from the other end of the phone.
"Boss... what did you say? I didn't receive a call from anyone? Yes, he said he had to take an exam. I definitely won't allow it..."
"I really didn't receive a call from anyone, I promise you. Boss. I've been with you for nine years, you believe me, boss, I..."
"Ah...what? The boss...the boss...called you personally?"
"I, I, I..."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes yes..."
At this point, Xu Shijie could no longer form a complete word in his mouth. He only knew "I, I, I" and "Yes, yes, yes, yes".
As he screamed, Xu Shijie's face turned pale and darkened, there was more sweat on his forehead, his voice became lower, his head drooped, and he shrank...
The curses on the other end of the phone were clearly heard in the back row, and the faces of the two people escorting me became increasingly ugly.
It wasn't until a blind beep came from the phone, and a long time passed, that Xu Shijie turned his head to look at me with difficulty, his voice bitter: "Tong...Assistant. Let's say, first, I will send you to take the exam. After the exam... "
I reported the coordinates nonchalantly: "Elephant Trunk Mountain. We'll be there in three hours."
