The person who came was tall, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a camouflage vest. He had a simple and easy-going face, but his eyes were very sharp. He was a simple and honest type with shrewdness.
But Chen Xing knew that this man's city was far deeper and worse than what appeared on the surface.
This person is Zhang Meng, the leader of the younger generation of the Zhang family in Gray Corner City. When the No. 65 underground survival shelter was developed in Orchid Town, Chen Xing was threatened and asked to provide 500 refugees from the water station as cannon fodder for the exploration operation.
In order to protect the refugees below, Chen Xing was forced to pretend to be "Mr. Chen" with a family background in the Eastern Continent, forcing the other party to give up the plan.
Although the subsequent series of contradictions are not directly related to Zhang Meng, they are also suspected of adding fuel to the flames and aiding the evildoers. All in all, it didn't leave a good impression on Chen Xing.
"Brother Chen Xing, I beg you, we can't afford to offend these young masters!" Xiaojun pulled Chen Xing and was about to cry.
Although Chen Xing didn't have a good impression of Zhang Meng and wasn't afraid of him, considering that he just followed him halfway and wanted to meet his old acquaintance, he didn't want to attract too much attention, so he hid his strength. Furthermore, others are the host and he is the guest. He is a low-key person and is unwilling to do things that overwhelm the guest and usurp the host. So he stood up so as not to stand out from the crowd and cause unnecessary trouble.
"This place is so dirty and smells sour. You promised to treat me to Danjin's famous dishes. Why did you bring me to a place like this?"
A delicate voice sounded behind Zhang Meng. A girl with a hot figure walked in. Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. She had a miniskirt, long legs, a small pink bag in her hand, rhinestones on her nails sparkling, and a delicate hairpin in her wavy hair. The whole person was jeweled and sparkling.
Everyone was shocked, looking like a dumbfounded Brother Pig.
"So beautiful..."
Xiaojun also looked obsessed. Chen Xing's expression remained as usual. This woman was somewhat pretty, more beautiful than Ye Qian and Li Mei, but far behind Ye Yang Bai Liu and Jian Yue Cang Lian, about seventy-five percent.
The woman walked in with high heels, her face cold and disgusted, obviously very dissatisfied with the environment here.
"Rong Rong, although this bar is a bit remote, the owner is an authentic Qingguo native. He once worked for a Qing Palace imperial chef, and his Danjin dishes are very authentic."
A young man caught up from behind and said with a flattering look on his face.
This man's clothes are bright and beautiful, and the colors and styles are the most popular new styles in the Red Country this year. They are worth a lot of money. At a glance, you can tell that he comes from a wealthy family and that he is a young man who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
"Really?" The woman named Rongrong frowned slightly, a little doubtful.
"Sister Rongrong, what Master Luo said is true. The boss here is really from Qingguo and he is very good at cooking." Li Xiong said flatteringly from the side, turned around and yelled at the bar owner, "Come here quickly!"
The bar owner hurriedly opened the bar cover, trotted over, hunched over and said, "Sister Rongrong, I am the owner of this small shop. I am from Mi County, Qingguo. I have been a cook in Danjin for ten years. As long as you can say I will cook whatever dishes come out.”
"Yes, Sister Rongrong, with Master Luo helping out, nothing can't be done!" Someone followed suit.
"Okay." Rongrong nodded, turned to the young master and said, "If the Danjin cuisine here is really as authentic as you say, I will seriously consider becoming your girlfriend."
The young man suddenly looked overjoyed and turned to look at the boss, "You must make it for me today. If it doesn't suit my girlfriend's taste, I will demolish your shop. Believe it or not!"
"Absolutely." The boss nodded and bowed, smiling.
Chen Xing looked at the young master and felt a little familiar.
Master Luo? Luo Shaoqing?
This person is definitely not Luo Shaoqing. Although they look somewhat similar, they are much younger. Luo Shaoqing is the fifth young master of the Luo family in Gray Corner City. He was about 25 or 26 years old when he was in Orchid Town. He is now almost 30 years old. The young man in front of him is only in his early twenties. He is obviously not the same person.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Xiong opened his mouth to introduce.
"This is Master Zhang Meng, the leader of the younger generation of the Zhang family and the future head of the Zhang family!"
"Wow!" There was an uproar at the scene. The Zhang family is one of the seven major families in Gray Corner City. For those at the bottom, it is a behemoth existence. I heard that the Yang family was destroyed and now there are six major families with more power than before. If you can climb this big tree, it will definitely not be a dream to become a successful person in the future!
"I don't dare to take it seriously. The elders in the family are still here, so I don't dare to speak nonsense. I am just a collateral concubine, just like you. From now on, don't call me son, we are all brothers. Just call me Brother Zhang to save face." Zhang He clasped his fists and said, his people-friendly attitude immediately aroused the favor of the mercenaries, and they all praised him.
"This is the seventh young master of the Luo family, Luo Shaotian, the seventh young master of the Luo family." Li Xiong continued to introduce. He sounded proud and had a proud look on his face, as if he was introducing himself, which fit the image of a bitch very well.
It turns out he is Luo Shaoqing's younger brother, no wonder he looks somewhat similar.
Back then, the guards of the Luo family ran rampant in Orchid Town and injured both patients and doctors in order to jump in line for treatment. Chen Xing couldn't help but teach the other party a lesson. As a result, Luo Shaoqing refused to let him go and demanded huge compensation. Fortunately, Ye Yangqingyan opened his mouth to help. At that time, Ye Shaoqing was pursuing Ye Yang Qingyan, and after being scolded, he did not dare to mention it again. However, Ye Yang Qingyan didn't like Luo Shaoqing either, and ignored Luo Shaoqing after that conflict.
All in all, Chen Xing had no good impressions of the aristocratic children who went to Orchid Town back then. Except for the twins from the Baishi family who showed kindness, basically none of them were good people.
Among them was Ye Yang Qingyan. If she hadn't been her sister-in-law, I would have wanted to hang her up and whip her.
The same goes for Luo Shaotian now. When Li Xiong introduced him to everyone, he looked away as if his eyes were above his head and didn't bother to say a word.
"This is Cao Xinrong, Sister Rongrong, the big star of Beihuang Radio..." Li Xiong looked at Luo Shaotian, "She is also our Young Master Luo's girlfriend."
It wasn't until Li Xiong introduced her that Chen Xing remembered that he had seen this woman's photo on the mercenary forum. She was a second- and third-tier starlet who had been a supporting actress in an unknown soap opera.
"Hmph, who is his girlfriend?" Cao Xinrong said coquettishly, "We haven't even eaten the food yet."
"Yes, yes, not yet..." Luo Shaotian quickly apologized with a smile.
Then Cao Xinrong raised her chin, smiled, and nodded towards the mercenaries. The mercenaries immediately became excited, whistled and clapped enthusiastically.
"Master Zhang, Master Luo, Sister Rongrong, please come this way, please..."
After the introduction, Li Xiong introduced the three of them to the venue and took their seats.
Chen Xing finished standing with Xiaojun, sat down and was about to take a sip of tea when he saw Li Xiong leading the three of them towards him.
"You, you two..." Li Xiong pointed at Chen Xing and Xiaojun, "Are you sitting here? There are no rules at all, get out!"
Li Xiong's eyes flashed with satisfaction. How dare you not give him face? Then get away, he is the boss here.
Xiaojun stood up quickly, but saw that Chen Xingnao didn't even move, so he hurriedly pulled him to signal him to get up quickly.
This is deliberately looking for trouble. Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Xiong with a cold light like a knife. Li Xiong suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, feeling as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. Not to mention that Chen Xing is now a strong guard-level powerhouse, but the number of people he killed in his two lifetimes combined can fill several railroad cars. His murderous intent is substantial, enough to deter low-level people like Li Xiong.
Seeing the two young masters in the blink of an eye, Li Xiong was convinced that the other party was only a quasi-elite, not even a dog in front of the children of the aristocratic family, could he still make a huge difference? There was a gloomy look in his eyes, and his voice was stern, "You're deaf, aren't you? It's your honor to give up your seat to these two young masters, so don't be ungrateful!"
There was a hint of provocation in Li Xiong's words both inside and outside, trying to blame the children of the aristocratic family.
This trick drives away wolves and tigers, it's poisonous...
Chen Xing looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that Zhang Meng's expression was as usual, so he probably didn't recognize him. More than three years have passed since the incident. Although his appearance has not changed much, his memory must have faded. Moreover, Chen Xing has a popular face. Although he looks good, he is not outstanding. He is a type that cannot be found in the crowd.
"Boy, if you are smart, get out of here and give up your seat to my girlfriend."
Sure enough, Li Xiong's phrase "don't be ignorant" worked. Luo Shaotian was young and energetic, not as calm as Zhang Meng, and wanted to show off in front of women, so he jumped out immediately.
At this time, Cao Xinrong heard Luo Shaotian say that she was his girlfriend again, but she did not refute, but a look of pride appeared on her face.
As a third- and fourth-tier starlet on Beihuang TV, she could be pursued by a member of a family like Luo Shaotian. Although she sometimes seemed indifferent on the surface, it was just a way for her to seduce men. In fact, she still enjoyed it. A feeling.
For example, those colleagues in the past are now very polite and fawning to her. The feeling of being superior and admired by others really made her want to stop.
However, the commoner in front of him was so ignorant that he was still sitting there, completely ignoring her, the big star and the future wife of a wealthy family. He immediately became impatient and said, "Hurry up, don't be so shameless. My legs are sore from standing.”
Chen Xing suddenly smiled. He was completely laughed out of anger. Who are these people? They really have never experienced the beatings from society...
The bar owner was a businessman. When he saw this, he hurriedly came out to smooth things over. "Brothers, please save your face. I'll treat you when you come back for dinner. I'll give you a free bill, okay?" If something happens in his shop, the loss will definitely be he.
Chen Xing was so disgusted that he wanted to have a fit, but when he looked back, he realized that others were the host and he was the guest, and the rich and powerful families in Gray Corner City were also hostile to him. The most important thing was that he was afraid of making too much noise and alarming everyone. Over in Lizard City, let alone Aaliyah, Lacey will be enough for him to drink a pot of wine.
He must endure it. A little impatience will mess up a big plan. Forget it, let's go.
Thinking of this, he left his seat, patted Xiaojun on the shoulder, and walked outside.
When passing by Cao Xinrong, Cao Xinrong looked disgusted, backed away, and slapped her nose with her hand, as if to drive away the sour smell on his body.
This woman is quite capable. The clothes Chen Xing wears can buy her half of her life.
"etc!"
Li Xiong's voice suddenly came from behind.
"What?" Chen Xing turned his head and looked at Li Xiong.
"You're leaving like this?" Li Xiong crossed his arms, tilted his neck, and had an arrogant attitude.
"What else do you want?" Chen Xing frowned.
"You see our Young Master Zhang and Young Master Luo, why don't you propose a toast before leaving?" Li Xiong looked sarcastic, as if Chen Xing was convinced.
Chen Xing's eyes were as cold as ice, and he looked Li Xiong up and down. For some reason, Li Xiong felt frightened in his heart. Even though there were two children of aristocratic families standing next to him, he couldn't help but feel scared. The cold spread all over his body, and he felt that his body was almost stiff. He gritted his teeth and said with a sharp expression, "Why don't you hurry up? Do you want to die?"
Chen Xing smiled again. He had never seen an idiot so eager to die.
"Okay, I respect you."
Chen Xing turned around and walked back. His momentum suddenly exploded. His steps were steady. The ground shook with every step he took, as if a tyrannosaurus was approaching.
In an instant, everyone's expressions changed drastically. The strong man's pressure was overwhelming, as if an invisible hand was holding the heart, making it difficult to breathe.
Chen Xing walked to the table, picked up the wine glass, then looked at Zhang Meng and said slowly, "Zhang Meng, I propose a toast to you..."
"Do you dare to drink?" The voice was not loud, but it was powerful, like thunder.
Zhang Meng trembled, "Who are you?"
"Zhang, is it possible for a pariah like you to call Young Master Zhang's name?" Luo Shaotian's face turned pale. Under the pressure of great fear, his psychology underwent abnormal changes. Instead of flinching, he spoke arrogantly.
Chen Xing slapped Luo Shaotian to the ground with a slap. The power was so arrogant that Luo Shaotian's face immediately hit the edge of the table, his cheeks deformed and his teeth flew out.
"If you dare to hit the young master of the Luo family, you must be impatient with life!"
The two family guards who followed rushed up, drew their swords, and stabbed Chen Xing at the same time.
Chen Xing spun around and kicked, and with two puffs, the two guards were swept away at the same time.
"Bang!"
One flew into the bar and hit the wine rack. The bottles burst, the wine sprayed, and glass shards flew everywhere.
"Bang!"
Another smashed the glass window, the entire wooden frame was shattered, and the person flew out for an unknown distance.
"You, you dare!" Luo Shaotian struggled to raise his head and looked at Chen Xing in disbelief. He is the seventh young master of the Luo family. He has been pampered since he was a child. In this Gray Corner City, no one dares to touch him, let alone hit him.
"Say one more word and you will die." Chen Xing said lightly.
Luo Shaotian immediately shut up, because he saw the cold death in the other person's eyes, and the other person would really kill him.
From the moment Chen Xing returned, Cao Xinrong's eyes widened and she was stunned, as if her soul had been sucked away. She felt that she was dreaming that the young master of the Luo family was beaten like this.
"Do you remember it?"
Looking away from Luo Shaotian's swollen face, Chen Xing looked at Zhang Meng. He knocked over three people, but the wine glass was still in his hand. Thanks to his super agility, not a drop of wine spilled.
Chen Xing raised his glass and said, "If you can't remember, you can use the black form to check it."
"You, you, you are, are..." Zhang Meng opened his eyes wide, terrified, as if he had seen a ghost, "You are Chen Xing!"
Can he not be afraid? Even the Yang family has been uprooted by the other party. The Zhang family is not as high as the Yang family. A small role like him is not even worthy of carrying the other party's shoes.
"You remembered, that's good." Chen Xing nodded in praise, playing with the wine glass in his hand, "So, can you answer my question?"
Zhang Meng's face changed rapidly. After a few seconds, he picked up the rice bowl that someone had eaten on the table, filled it with wine, and offered it with both hands, "Mr. Chen, Brother Chen, if you have ever offended me in the past, it's all because of my younger brother." I can't help myself, please don't remember the villain's fault!" After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp, and without waiting for Chen Xing's reaction, he continued to pour the wine, and drank three large bowls in a row.
"Pop!"
Chen Xing clapped his hands in approval. Zhang Meng was immediately relieved and collapsed on the chair, sweating profusely.
Seeing Chen Xing's words and deeds, Xiaojun was completely stunned. Is this still the friend he knew? Are you still the little friend who delivers newspapers and express delivery together, lives by counting coins every day, and lives by looking at other people's faces?
"So now..." Chen Xing turned to look at Li Xiong, "Can I sit down and have a meal?"
At this moment, Li Xiong felt like his neck was being strangled, his face turned red, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
He wanted to die. If there was a regret medicine in the world, he would be willing to take a whole bottle, no, a whole box would do...
