Chapter 31: The Mysterious Old Beggar

"They aren't afraid of me, they are afraid of having no money!" Yu Manling smiled and said.

I looked at Sister Ling very confusedly, hoping she would solve my confusion.

Yu Manling continued: "Eighty percent of Zhang Longtao's economic sources come from my venues. If I stop cooperating with him, he will have to drink the northwest wind, so naturally, he doesn't dare to fall out with me!"

I nodded. It seems that in this day and age, both money and power are important, basically belonging to a relationship of mutual support.

"However, I didn't expect you to be quite popular with women. You actually got involved with Zhang Longtao's sister. I heard that Zhang Longtao's sister is a great beauty with a super high IQ. You kid are something!" Yu Manling looked at me with a mischievous smile.

I shook my head awkwardly and said: "No, she and I are just normal classmates. We met when we were at school!"

"Alright, don't explain. I understand!" Yu Manling had an expression of "I understand," which made me not know how to explain. I simply didn't explain. Let them misunderstand. The more you explain this kind of thing, the more they believe it.

"If you can really handle that great beauty with a super high IQ, then you've made a big profit. If you can also handle her old man, your days in the future will be flying high!" Sister Ling smiled and said.

"Her old man? Who is her old man?" I had heard Zhang Longtao say before that his old man seemed to be much more powerful than Zhang Longtao.

"Zhang Longtao's family situation is relatively complex. Zhang Longtao and his sister are half-siblings. Zhang Yinuo's mother is a mistress who rose to power, so Zhang Longtao is actually not very good to Zhang Yinuo, and the relationship between the two is also average. His old man is a very awesome figure. Back then in the city, he was one of the top big figures, but now he has retired and doesn't care about the affairs of the underworld, but there are still many loyal subordinates!" Yu Manling drank a mouthful of wine and explained to me slowly.

Hearing Sister Ling's explanation, I nodded. No wonder Zhang Yinuo called Zhang Longtao by his full name. The relationship between the two was not very good. But since the relationship between the two was not very good, why was Zhang Longtao still angry because I approached his sister?

Sister Ling saw my confusion and continued: "Very simple, Zhang Longtao is afraid that you will gain his old man's appreciation, and then his days will not be easy. Not to mention that you two have hatred now, so he doesn't want you to have any background and means even more!"

"Sister Ling, I have always wanted to ask a question, Su Xueyan!"

Before I could finish, Sister Ling interrupted me and said: "I know you want to ask why, but I can't give you the answer to this matter. You have to investigate this yourself. At that time, only a few people upstairs knew the situation. I can give you their names, but I hope you don't be too anxious, because no matter which one it is, with your current ability, you can't afford to offend any of them!"

I nodded and expressed my gratitude to Sister Ling. However, when Sister Ling paid the bill, I looked at the bill and almost fainted. One meal actually cost more than thirty thousand. I felt that I didn't need to live anymore.

Yu Manling smiled slightly, patted my shoulder gently, and said: "Don't worry, I said I would treat you. These don't count for anything to me!"

However, when I saw the waiter preparing to take these dishes away, I felt heartache in my heart and hurriedly said to Sister Ling: "Sister Ling, can I pack them?"

Sister Ling was stunned by this move of mine, and even the waiter was stunned. The waiter had worked here for several years, and those who came here were basically people with money and status. No one would pack them. Today could be considered an eye-opener.

Sister Ling nodded and said to the waiter: "Pack it for him!"

The waiter nodded in confusion, and I was also embarrassed and felt a bit ashamed. However, it was really a pity to throw it away. Taking this home for Third Brother and the others to eat would be great.

Carrying these leftovers, I returned home. Third Brother was currently staying at my house temporarily. This house of mine was rented by Sister Shuang before, and the rent was paid for several years directly. Third Brother saw me holding these and shouted excitedly: "Fuck, Old Four, you've made a fortune. These dishes aren't cheap, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? This was treated by Sister Ling. I saw it was a pity to throw it away, so I brought it back!" I put down the dishes in my hand and said to Third Brother.

"Damn, I see Sister Ling is quite good to you. She wouldn't be wanting to keep you, would she?" Third Brother picked up a chicken leg and started eating directly.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

"I see it's really like this. Otherwise, why does Sister Ling always help you, and not help others, but specifically help you?"

"Get lost!"

"I'm telling the truth, Old Four. If you were kept, we brothers could also enjoy the blessings. After all, that's a rich woman, and she has a good figure, looks good, and is just in the prime of her life. This is simply perfect. It's a pity she didn't take a fancy to me. Otherwise, I would have to have her no matter what!"

"Since you want to have her so much, then you have her!"

I didn't pay attention to him anymore and went directly into the room. Actually, I had asked Sister Ling this question more than once, but I never reached a conclusion. Every time I asked Sister Ling, Sister Ling would make an indecent joke, saying that she just wanted to keep me, saying that she was a widow now, lonely and cold, and finding a man was very normal. But I just didn't understand, there were so many men, why did she take a fancy to me? Although I admit that I look okay, I'm not handsome to that extent. So, actually, I had always been wary of Sister Ling, always feeling that she contacted me and helped me for some purpose. But at least until now, she had never harmed me. I was still very grateful to Sister Ling.

On this day, Third Brother and I went to school together. Suddenly, we met a beggar on the road. The beggar was very pitiful, wearing thin, tattered clothes in the cold wind and shivering. Seeing us, he took his bowl and came over to beg us to give him something to eat.

Third Brother pushed him away impatiently and said: "What are you doing? No money, no money. We can't even afford to eat. You don't have any eye for begging for food. Why don't you find a rich person? Really!"

"Pity me, I haven't eaten for three days!" The old beggar looked at me pleadingly.

My heart softened, and I took out the only twenty yuan I had left and handed it to him. However, before I could hand it over, it was snatched by Third Brother: "Old Four, are you crazy? We only have this last twenty yuan. For this stinking beggar, do you want us to starve to death?"

"He's really quite pitiful, give it to him!" I persuaded.

"Damn it, I'm even more pitiful, why didn't anyone pity me? You don't know these beggars, maybe they are still dancing in the nightclub at night. They are so good at pretending!" Third Brother looked at the old beggar, annoyed.

However, in the next moment, what shocked us was that the old beggar flashed, and I don't know why the twenty yuan actually arrived in his hand directly. Third Brother and I were both stunned, feeling like we were watching a martial arts novel. ===== CHAPTER 32 =====
