Chapter 420: Meeting Kong Shi Again

In Zaocheng, there are rumors that you and the nuns you keep have all kinds of scandals. Is this really true?

"Also, there's one thing: what's the difference between nuns and ordinary women? Where exactly is the difference? Please explain in detail—I love hearing these stories." Shi Yong asked directly.

I never imagined Shi Yong would ask such a question; I almost laughed out loud—this Shi Yong really is talent.

I held back my laughter. When Hou Laoban heard Shi Yong ask about this,

He let out an "ah," then didn't know what to say.

His face flushed.

Shi Yong still didn't intend to let him go.

"Hou Laoban, you just said ask anything, say anything, right?"

"Why aren't you saying it?"

Hou Laoban wiped the sweat from his forehead again,

"Shi Yong brother, you really like to joke. We are Buddhist disciples; how could we do such shameless things? Don't listen to societal rumors—they're all baseless."

"I am a person with no desires at all. Sorry, sorry." After Hou Laoban said that, he kept turning his prayer beads nonstop, murmuring.

"Hou Laoban, uh, this isn't good. You can't slap your own face. Since we've come to this Zaocheng hotel, we want to make a big deal out of this."

"I, Shi Yong, am a gangster; my older brother also has a murder case—you know all this. Whether we kill one more person or one less, it doesn't matter."

"You must have investigated us too; otherwise, how could we openly check into your hotel like this? Right?"

"Or just tell the truth."

"Otherwise, I'll expose all your secrets. Then our grudge will be great." Shi Yong said.

"Uh, uh, uh, Shi Yong brother, you're making things too hard for me. Actually, it's just that."

"Just personal preference."

"There's no difference between these nuns and those women—they're all women."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Shi Yong brother, if you want to know the detailed situation."

"I have something on my phone; I can show you when I have time. What I say is all true."

"Please, Shi Yong brother, Jianqiang brother, don't make things hard for me." Hou Laoban cried.

"Haha, alright, Shi Yong, don't give Hou Laoban a hard time about that trivial matter—you can look into it when you have time. Hou Laoban, let's talk about something serious." I said.

"Thank you so much, Jianqiang brother. Jianqiang brother, I know you've found a new backer—the Wen Family of Sijiucheng. I really admire you brothers; wherever you go, you thrive under someone's protection."

"That Wen Family is famous in Sijiucheng. If you have anything, just give the order." Hou Laoban said to me in a humble tone.

"Hou Laoban, you're well-informed. I didn't expect that you'd know everything about my movements in Sijiucheng."

"It seems nothing can be hidden from you, Hou Laoban." I laughed.

Hou Laoban said: "Jianqiang brother, I don't have your abilities. This news came from Kong Shi. Alas, Kong Shi said that as soon as you return, he should be notified immediately—he wants to see you."

After I heard the duty manager tell me that, I immediately came to the hotel to see you. Jianqiang brother, should I notify Kong Shi now, or wait until tomorrow morning after you've rested?

"So it was Kong Shi who told you."

"Then let's notify him now—I also miss Kong Shi; we're old friends, and after not seeing each other for so long, I really miss him." I said.

Hou Laoban quickly said: "Okay, Jianqiang brother. I'll contact Kong Shi right away."

After Hou Laoban finished speaking, he took out his phone to contact Kong Shi,

All we saw was Kong Shi saying "okay" and then hanging up.

Hou Laoban said: "Jianqiang brother, Kong Shi will arrive at our third-floor banquet hall in ten minutes. Then, will we go together, or will you go alone?"

"I'll go alone. Shi Yong, Ding Li, you don't need to come." I said.

"Perfect, I want to see Hou Laoban's phone." Shi Yong said.

"Uh, Shi Yong brother. Okay, I'll find it for you later." Hou Laoban said helplessly.

This Shi Yong just can't forget these things.

Ding Li walked up to my side and whispered: "Zhao Ge, I'll go with you—don't let Kong Shi play tricks."

I chuckled and said: "Don't worry—even if you gave Kong Shi ten guts, he wouldn't dare. He knows better than we do what the consequences would be if he caught me."

Would he dare offend the Wen Family?

"Hmph, in these people's eyes, Kong Shi is nothing—not even a fart, just a matter of a sentence. Alright, you and Shi Yong wait in the room."

Shi Yong said: "Ding Li, my older brother is right—if Wen Han has no ability at all, how could the Wen Family stand in Sijiucheng?"

We can relax and look at Hou Laoban's phone.

"This is all a live performance. Hou Laoban hurriedly opened his phone—I can't wait."

Hou Laoban's face showed an expression worse than crying; he had no choice but to take out his phone and open it.

I had no mood to look at those things, so I walked out alone—I want to meet Kong Shi.

I took out a cigarette and started smoking in the hotel corridor,

thinking, these days, every time I see Kong Shi my mood is different.

I believe Kong Shi feels the same way.

Everyone is changing. No matter how embarrassing, we still have to grit our teeth and meet.

Really, life forces us to do this.

Ten minutes passed quickly; I stubbed out my cigarette.

I quickly went down to the small meeting room on the third floor. The attendant had already opened the door.

I walked in,

Kong Shi was waiting for me in the room.

Seeing me enter, Kong Shi hurried over and put his arm around my shoulders,

Jianqiang, you have come back. Oh my, I never expected you to actually go to Sijiucheng.

Hurry up and sit down, what are you smoking?

What I admire most about Kong Shi is that he says whatever comes to mind when it's right in front of him, without any embarrassment.

Not long ago, they were still searching everywhere to arrest me, and we both wished we could kill each other.

Now they directly hug each other like close brothers.

I laughed and said, "Kong Shi, you never expected it, but I, Zhao Jianqiang, am back again, back openly and aboveboard. How are you? Still the same old you. To catch me, you must have gone to a lot of trouble, right?"

You look quite worn out.

I'm back now; you can arrest me directly, that'll save you a lot of trouble.

Jianqiang, what are you saying? We've been old friends for many years, no need to talk about arresting or not. Have a Hua Zi cigarette. Come on, let's the two of us brothers have a good chat, just lay things out; there must have been some misunderstandings in between.

Believe that once the misunderstanding is cleared, we can go back to how we were before. Kong Shi laughed and took out a cigarette to give me.

Impressive, even a seasoned actor couldn't do better.

I took the cigarette,

I glanced at it,

Not bad, I'm smoking a Hua Zi. Kong Shi, okay, there are some misunderstandings between us; I hope we can clear them up today, but if we don't, our relationship could possibly become even more completely ruined.

After saying that, I sat down on a sofa.

Kong Shi took out a lighter,

first lit my cigarette,

Jianqiang, look at what you're saying. The matter between us is mainly because Niu Ju is causing trouble in the middle; that guy is totally no good, deliberately bringing in a woman to stir up trouble, messing up our pure friendship.

I've already arrested Niu Ju, and also Zhang Zong; that guy is even worse. Ah, I've known him for how many years?

It's all him stirring me up behind the scenes to deal with you.

People like that never come to a good end; he's already dead.
