Chapter 1: Are you sick?
Da Hu Zi carried a grey travel bag and walked ahead, while Tang Chong trailed behind with his head hung low.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was just the prison's exercise time.
On the other side of the fence, dozens of inmates were strolling and chatting in the exercise yard.
Seeing the father and son duo walking out of the White Building, many prisoners who had a good relationship with Tang Chong all gathered around.
"Second master of the house, going back to school again? Alright then, come back as a top scholar."
"Second Master of the house, if you go to Mingzhu, remember to take a look and see if that woman from our household has run off with someone."
"Second master of the house, didn't I tell you last time about the prescription for 'I love big men'? Do you still want it? Quick, grab a pen and I'll write it down. Who knows when you might need to use it outside."
The big-bearded man suddenly turned around and roared in a low voice: "Shut up."
The whole audience was silent as if all the birds had stopped chirping.
Big Beard has been in charge of Hate Mountain Prison for many years, with extremely high prestige and a reputation that is extremely flourishing.
A thin, middle-aged man with a small mustache walked over without fear of the angry scolding, his eyes red and moist as he said: "Second master, after a while I'll be leaving, and I'm afraid that by the time you return next time, I won't be here anymore... The kindness you've shown me, Zhang En'gui will never be able to repay in this lifetime. If there's an afterlife, I'll serve as your ox and horse."
Zhang EnGui is a honest and simple farmer in the mountain, brought out to work by an old fellow villager. The old fellow villager took him to Yunnan, gave him a plane ticket and a pair of sports shoes, then told him: "Wear these shoes to Mingzhu, when you arrive, someone will give you 1,000 yuan."
Ten thousand yuan was a staggering figure for Zhang EnGui. However, what he didn't expect was that upon arrival at Mingzhu Airport, he would be caught and the police would find 500 grams of high-purity powder in his shoes.
In two months' time, it will be International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. A group of death row inmates related to drug trafficking will be collectively executed by firing squad.
Honest and weak, such a person can only be bullied in prison. After Tang Zhong knew about his situation, he took good care of him. Due to Tang Zhong's reason, his life improved a lot.
However, it is still impossible to escape the fate of death.
Tang Zhong stopped in his tracks.
He turned around and looked at Big Beard, who nodded in agreement. It meant that what Zhang En Gui said was true.
Tang Chong looked at Zhang En Gui and said with a smile, "I have a suit in my wardrobe. I bought it last New Year's, but I've only worn it twice. If you're not ashamed to wear it, I'll ask the master of the house to give it to you."
He then squatted down, took off a brand new pair of leather shoes from his feet and said: "A suit should be paired with leather shoes. It's spiritual. When walking, look neat and clean. Next life, reincarnate as an intelligent person."
Before a death row inmate is executed by firing squad, the inmate's family will often send new clothes and shoes, in order to make the person's departure more comfortable.
Zhang En Gui's family lives deep in the mountains, they are very poor and have no money, I doubt they even have enough for bus fare, who would come to deliver these things to him?
"Second Master's..." Zhang En'gui 'thudded' and fell to his knees, crying uncontrollably.
Tang Chong waved his hand at others and said in a heavy tone: "Take care."
Then he put on a pair of black socks and strode out into the outside world.
The big-bearded man sighed and followed with his travel bag.
When they arrived at the prison gate, the big-bearded man threw his travel bag on the ground and said, "Wait."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked in. Clean and neat, without any hesitation or lingering. It was as if Tang Chong was not his own son at all.
"It's a big deal!" Tang Zhong shouted out loud.
The big-bearded man turned around, looking at Tang Chong with a puzzled expression.
"Nothing's wrong----" Tang Zhong's throat was dry.
The big beard looked at him and turned his body again.
"It's just that I wanted to call you Dad." Tang Chong shouted from behind.
The big-bearded man's body stiffened, and in the end he didn't turn his head back.
"It's really hot." Tang Chong stood at the bald prison gate, impatiently shouting.
Glancing at the stone road that was the only way from Henshan Prison to the city, he thought, why hasn't that woman come yet?
Tang Zhong agreed to Bai Su's request. To be more precise, Tang Zhong agreed to the big-bearded man's demand.
This was Big Beard's first intervention in his life, he had no reason and no way to refuse.
At this moment, a car appeared in his field of vision.
It's still a sports car!
The wind is howling and the lightning is flashing, it will arrive in an instant!
A red sports car whizzed past Tang Zhong's side, with a strong gust of wind slapping against his clothes and skin.
Then, a beautiful drift, the car made a one hundred and eighty degree turn, and slipped back from behind Tang Zhong's body.
The sports car stopped beside Tang Zhong, the woman driving took off her sunglasses, looked up at Tang Zhong with a smile and said: "I didn't come too late, did I?"
If yesterday's Bai Su was an intellectual mature woman, today's Bai Su is a fiery and seductive sister.
She wore a light-colored denim jacket on her upper body, and inside the jacket, surprisingly, she only tied a floral silk scarf around her chest with a bow, the bow barely wrapped around that full chest, while other places were all vacuumed, revealing large areas of fair skin and tender flesh.
"It's okay." Táng Zhòng tried his best to avert his eyes from her body, picked up the travel bag on the ground, opened the car door and got in.
Bai Su's charming smile lit up as she started the car.
"I'll give you a brief introduction about Butterfly on the way. It will be convenient for you to work after you arrive," said Bai Su.
"It doesn't matter," said Tang Chong. Anyway, there's nothing going on along the way.
Butterfly is a three-member group. Tang Xin is the leader, responsible for the entire team. For example, coordinating relationships between members, reporting and communicating with the company's business, speaking to the media, and giving speeches when participating in commercial activities. Of course, her main job is still singing and performing. Most of these tasks are assisted by agents and assistants.
"Besides Tang Xin, the Butterfly Combination has two other members. One is called Lin Huiyin, who is arrogant and has a cold personality, but is not a bad person at heart. The other is called He Ben, also known as Zhang Heben or Benben for short - he talks a lot and likes to play pranks, with a mischievous childlike nature."
"Tang Xin didn't buy any property in Mingzhu, so she had been living in a villa provided by the company. Heben and Lin Huiyin both have houses in Mingzhu, usually staying at home most of the time, but occasionally they would also stay in the villa - I'll arrange for you to live in the villa first, so that you can have as much contact with them as possible, increase mutual understanding, and avoid any flaws when working together later."
Seeing Tang Zhong's strange expression, Bai Su said: "But you don't have to worry, they are both very easy-going, and Tang Xin gets along with them very well. However-"
"But what?" Tang Zhong asked.
"She had just come out of prison, and the two of them were both one-in-a-million beauties." Bai Su said with a hint of reserve. To be honest, she was originally worried about this issue in her heart.
However, she appeared in front of him wearing such a sexy and revealing outfit, he only took a few more glances, without any abnormal reaction, which shows that he is a man with extremely strong self-control. He knows what can be done and what cannot be done.
Of course, there are also bodyguards and servants in the villa, I'm sure he wouldn't dare to do anything out of line.
Tang Chong thought for a moment and asked seriously: "Are you worried that they will take liberties with me?"
The sports car drove into a luxury community called 'Zi Garden' and stopped in front of the gate of a villa.
Bai Su honked the horn, but the electronic gate of the villa remained closed, and there was no response from inside.
"It's strange. They should be inside." Bai Su said with a puzzled expression. "I just called them earlier."
Bai Su pushed open the car door and got out, walking to the electronic induction door and pressing the doorbell.
No one answered, but a window on the second floor of the villa opened, revealing a lovely girl with a bobbed haircut.
"White Aunt, is there anything wrong?" The girl asked aloud. Her voice was soft and sweet, as if wrapped in honey.
"He Bin, open the door quickly." Bai Su shouted at the girl.
"No, Aunt Bai. The door can't be opened yet." shouted the girl named Heben. "A big rat was found in the house and we are catching it now. If the door is opened, the rat will run away."
"He Bin, stop messing around." Bai Su said helplessly. "Hurry up and open the door. I have something very important to discuss with you all."
"I didn't make a fuss. It's that big rat making a fuss." Heben said with a pitiful tone. "Aunt Bai, we're very busy today. Why don't you come back tomorrow? Ah, the rat is coming - Aunt Bai, never mind, I'm going to get busy."
The window was closed again, and the little head disappeared from view.
"It seems they're not very welcoming to me." Tang Chong said with a smile.
"No," said Bai Su. "They are fighting rats."
After saying this sentence, Bai Su's face turned red.
Villa. Bedroom.
"Echo, Aunt Bai really brought that guy back. He's a man, how disgusting! How can we let him live with us? I'm so cute and you're so beautiful, what if he has ulterior motives towards us? Even if he doesn't do anything, isn't that an insult to our charm?"
"Well, in that case, let's just not let him into the house. Isn't that better? All the trouble will be gone." The bobbed-haired girl said with a smile.
Goose egg face, willow leaf eyebrows, big round eyes, sparkling like spring water. Wearing a large white T-shirt with Spider-Man printed on it, sitting cross-legged on the bed with bare feet.
"No." A girl in black clothes who was concentrating on painting against the canvas replied. She had her back to Heben, so he couldn't see her face clearly.
"I knew Echo Sister would say that." The bobbed-haired girl smiled with curved eyes. "I told White Aunt that we were catching mice, and White Aunt certainly wouldn't believe it. She had to be furious. Hmph, who let her bring a man to live with us ----- still found from prison. You think, how can there be good people in prison -- what if he does bad things to us and we can't beat him?"
"Whatever."
"Echo sister, what's for dinner tonight?"
"Alright."
"How about we play video games after dinner?"
"Not good."
Knock knock knock-----
The door of the room was knocked on.
The two women looked out at the same time and saw the open door of the room. A man in a white shirt stood there, his mouth slightly upturned, with an inexplicable smile on his face, gently tapping the door panel with his fingers.
"Are you catching mice?" the man asked.
Two women nodded blankly.
Who is this man? Why does he look so much like Tang Xin?
The smile on the man's face grew thicker, he brought out his right hand that was hidden behind his back, lifted up a big black mouse that was still struggling desperately in mid-air and said: "Is it this one?"
Two women let out a miserable cry, one knocked over the painting board, and the other rolled off the bed, like two frightened rabbits scurrying for escape.
