They were chatting and laughing during the meal, which was very harmonious, at least on the surface it looked that way.
After eating, Long Dao asked Xu Shi to follow him to take a bath at Sister Xiang's place.
Xu Shi naturally would not refuse.
Xia Hapu, Ma San and Xiao Zhang Fei were also called together by him.
There were already many people in the warm bathing city at this time. Everyone was wearing loose and comfortable short-sleeved shorts, sitting on the floor in twos and threes, eating and chatting, and everyone's face was filled with comfort.
Xu Shi came out of the locker room and took a shower first, and then went to the separate pool. He moved slowly on purpose, and when he got there, Xia Hapu, Ma San, and Xiao Zhang Fei were already there, but Long Dao hadn't arrived yet.
Seeing him coming, Xiahap glanced at him and looked away. Xiao Zhang Fei just nodded to him as a greeting. Ma San smiled enthusiastically, calling Brother Wang and waving.
Xu Shi chose a location that was not too far away from them, but not too close either.
As soon as he entered the water, Ma San approached.
"Brother Wang, you have a really good figure. Do you practice regularly?" Ma San smiled and glanced enviously at Xu Shi's perfect muscles.
Xu Shi felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him. After humming, he took the towel on the side and covered himself with it.
Seeing this, Ma San smiled sarcastically and looked away, then asked: "I heard from the boss, Brother Wang, your hometown is from Dongmen City. My hometown is Jianshan, which is right next door to Dongmen City. I heard that Dongmen City There is a very famous century-old hotpot restaurant in Mendong District, Brother Wang, have you ever eaten there?"
Xu Shi shook his head: "I haven't heard of it. I haven't been back to Dongmen City for two years. Besides, I don't like hot pot very much."
There is no problem with this answer.
After Ma San laughed awkwardly, he didn't know how to answer the question.
Xu Shi glanced at him and took the initiative: "There is a relatively famous Yueshan Park in Jianshan. There was a major murder case two years ago. Have you heard about it?"
Ma San was stunned for a moment.
Is this happening?
"I've never heard of it. Like you, I haven't been back for several years." Ma San smiled sarcastically.
Xu Shi smiled and stopped talking.
Ma San felt bored and resentful. Just when he was about to return to his previous position, Long Dao came in.
Xia Hapu stood up from the pool first, followed closely by Xiao Zhang Fei and Ma San. Only Xu Shi did not move much.
Long Dao glanced at him, then walked to the opposite side of him and descended along the wall of the pool into the pool.
"Would you like a girl to rub your back?" Long Dao asked after sitting down.
"No need." Xiahap answered first.
Ma San and Xiao Zhangfei also refused.
Long Dao looked at Xu Shi, who looked at him and said, "It's hard to talk to multiple people."
After Long Dao was stunned for a moment, he smiled and said, "That's right." After saying that, he suddenly looked at Ma San and said, "Then you go out and ask Sister Xiang to bring us something to eat and drink."
Ma San understood immediately and hurriedly climbed out of the pool and slipped out.
As soon as he left, Long Dao opened his mouth.
He looked at Xia Hapu first and said, "There is someone coming over there next month. Go and pick him up then." After saying that, he turned to look at Xu Shi and said, "Wang Yuan, follow Xia Hapu then." Let’s go together.”
Xu Shi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.
Is Long Dao planning to use strong medicine?
He frowned slightly and said, "Brother Dao, would it be inappropriate for me to follow you?"
Long Dao raised his eyebrows and said, "What's inappropriate?"
"I'm new here after all." Xu Shi said with a smile, but his eyes fell on Xia Hapu: "I'm afraid some people may have objections."
Hearing this, Long Dao followed his gaze and turned his head, "Xiahap, do you have any objections?"
Except for Xiahap who raised his eyebrows and showed a little surprise at first, there was no clue on his face at this time. When he heard the question, he calmly replied: "Boss, I will do whatever you want to do. Do you have any opinions?"
Long Dao was somewhat satisfied with his answer. He looked at Xu Shi again and said, "Don't worry, since Xia Hapu said he has no objection, then he has no objection."
Xu Shi smiled when he heard this and said, "Then I'll be relieved!" Then he asked, "Can you tell me who the other party is?"
Long Dao nodded: "The person coming this time is an arms dealer from Tajikistan, who is also an old acquaintance. This time they have a large batch of goods to be transported in, and they are worried about problems on the road, so we need to pick them up. , and then escort them to Tao County. After arriving in Tao County, others will take over, so we don’t have to worry about it!"
Xu Shi frowned and looked a little serious. He lowered his gaze and looked at the slightly rippling water in front of him, feeling a little silent.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Long Dao stared at him, with a sharp edge in his eyes.
Xu Shi raised his eyes to look at him and said, "Brother Dao is testing me?"
Long Dao laughed and said: "So what? If you want to take root in A County and work under my hand, you have to show some sincerity, right? Otherwise, for an unknown person like you, why should I trust you?" !”
Xu Shi frowned, looking a little tangled: "Brother Dao, I just want to eat here and wait to die."
Long Dao pursed his lips, obviously a little unhappy. After a moment, he spoke and said: "Wang Yuan, either you accept this opportunity, as long as you are honest and rely on your strength, you will be able to get ahead in the Tagang sooner or later. Or, you can get out of the northwest and never come back again." Step in. It’s your choice!”
Xu Shi was silent and struggling.
Long Dao didn’t rush him either.
After a long while, Xu finally spoke: "What day next month?"
Long Dao smiled and said: "The specific time has not been decided yet. I will tell you at that time. By the way, Xiao Zhangfei will also go with you at that time. He can also do some punching and kicking. If anything happens, how many of you will do?" I also have someone to take care of me. Those people are very tough. Although they have cooperated with us several times, they are not completely trustworthy. You must be extremely careful in what you say and do."
"Okay." Xu Shi responded.
Then, the pool became quiet.
Not long after, Ma San came back with a small cart of food, and the time was just right.
Half an hour later, Long Dao got up and left first, calling Ma San and Xiao Zhang Fei away.
After the three of them left, Xia Hapu looked at Xu Shi and said, "I am at fault for what happened in Taxi this time. I admit it. Later I will ask someone to send you 50,000 yuan, and part of it will be done." The extra money for Taxi's medical expenses will be considered as compensation. If you feel that it is not enough to relieve your anger, it doesn't matter. We will have plenty of time to calculate it slowly after we finish the things that the boss has assigned us. What do you think?"
He was hinting to Xu Shi that before the things Long Dao had just explained were finished, whatever grudges they had between them should be put aside for the time being, so as not to go back and miss what Long Dao had just explained.
Of course, it can also be regarded as a gesture of goodwill from Xia Hapu.
Long Dao asked him to participate in this matter this time, which was not only a temptation and test for Xu Shi, but also showed that he valued Xu Shi.
As long as Xu Shi does not have any problems in this matter, then when this matter is completed, if nothing unexpected happens, Xu Shi will definitely become Long Dao's confidant.
Xia Hapu is a smart man. Now that he understands the situation, of course he will no longer insist on confronting Xu Shi!
When there are steps, Xu will naturally go down, but some things still have to be said: "I have no objection, but that yellow hair under your hand may not listen to you!"
Hearing this, Xiahap narrowed his eyes slightly: "Don't worry about this, I will take care of it myself."
"That's the best." Xu Shi smiled at him.
After Xiahap stared at him for a few seconds, he stood up, crawled out of the pool, and left.
Xu Shi stayed for a few more minutes before getting up and leaving.
Not long after Xu Shi returned to the bar, Xia Hapu delivered the 50,000 yuan.
The person who sent the money turned out to be the third child.
This guy's face was bruised and purple, his hands were still in plaster, and he was limping when he walked. He was very embarrassed. When he stood in front of Xu Shi, he gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had to force out a smile. , it really embarrassed him.
Xu Shi did not accept the money and said, "Taxi is in the hospital. Speaking of which, will he be kidnapped this time because of you! Don't you go and see him?"
The third child really wants to say that he has nothing to do with me!
But his mouth didn't listen to his brain, and what he said came out with a flattery that even he himself despised: "I'm going to see him! I'll go later! Then, should I give him the money directly?"
Xu Shi smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"No hard work, no hard work, that's right." After the third child finished speaking through gritted teeth, he didn't dare to stay in front of Xu Shi any longer, so he hurriedly found an excuse and ran away.
Xu Shi glanced at his back and smiled.
I don’t know if this third child will learn to be smarter after this incident.
Speaking of which, Xu Shi actually didn't dislike Lao San either. Having such a person here is not a bad thing for Xu Shi.
If Lao San hadn't interfered with these things this time, perhaps Long Dao would not have made up his mind so quickly to give him a strong dose of medicine!
In other words, if the third child is as smart as Xia Hapu, or as honest as the manager of the video game city, then Xu Shi doesn't know how long he will have to wait if he wants to take a step further here.
It can be said that these opportunities were actually brought to him by Lao San, including the initial connection between him and Long Dao. Sometimes, he even couldn't help but doubt that this third child was one of his own, right?
However, no one knew about his coming to A County, including those behind him. After coming to A County, he has not contacted anyone.
The identity of Wang Yuan comes from a reliable source and the identity information is authentic enough. In a short period of time, no one will connect the two identities of Wang Yuan and Xu Shi.
Therefore, there is almost no possibility that the third child is one of our own.
In other words, he is just stupid and doesn't realize it.
