Unlucky Zhou Weiming

  "Stop!"

  Huo Zai's voice made several young hooligans stop in confusion, looking at Huo Zai and then at Di Yu, neither advancing nor retreating. Even more baffling was Zhou Weiming, who was completely bewildered and didn't know why Huo Zai had called them to a halt.

  Before they could react, Huo Zi's face was filled with smiles, looking silly and endearing, as he bowed his head and ran to Di Yu's front, saying: "Yu Ge, Yu Ge, haha we meet again."

  "Is that you?!" Di Yu saw the red hair in front of him, and earlier he had been hiding behind and thought he was mistaken, but it really was the young man who attacked him from behind with an iron rod yesterday. He remembered Zheng Tianbao giving him a solid kick, right in the stomach, and based on the force generated, he should be lying in the hospital by now, but less than a day had passed and he was still able to move around, standing perfectly fine in front of him.

  "It's me, Yu Ge! Yesterday I was lucky that the big guy under Yu Ge's command spared my life. Otherwise, I'd probably be lying in the hospital like everyone else." Huo Zai replied with a careful smile. He thought that Zheng Tianpao, who had beaten him up yesterday, was Di Yu's bodyguard, and Di Yu was some rich family's young master.

  "Oh? So you're different from those other hoodlums?"

  "Heh heh, when I was a kid, I learned kung fu from a big monk for several years, so my body is more robust than the average person."

  Have you practiced the art of withstanding a beating? Di Yu took a closer look at Huo Zai, and this explanation was indeed plausible. Otherwise, with Zheng Tian's kick just now, an ordinary person would not have been able to recover in such a short period of time.

  "Are these all your people?" Di Yu pointed at the other hoodlums around them, completely ignoring Zhou Weiming's stunned expression.

  Zhou Weiming couldn't understand why Huo Ge saw Di Yu as if he were a mouse seeing a cat, and wondered if he had found the wrong person to take revenge on.

  "Yes, yes." Huo Zai hastily nodded and then waited for those little rascals to shout: "Blind your dog eyes, dare to be presumptuous towards Yu Ge!"

  "Alright, stop pretending, is he the one who asked you guys to come and teach me a lesson?" Di Yu asked with an expressionless face, pointing at Zhou Weiming.

  "Yes, ah no!" Huo Zai was terrified, he had practiced kung fu for a few years after all, so his fear of Zheng Tianpao was even deeper. He could knock them all down in the blink of an eye, that kind of skill, he had never encountered before.

  Huǒ zǎi returned the money Zhou Weiming had just given him in front of Di Yu, and hastily explained: "Brother Yu, I really didn't know he was going to teach you a lesson. If I had known earlier, even if you gave me ten times more courage, I wouldn't have dared."

  Zhou Weiming's face was as ugly as it could get, he still hadn't figured out what had happened.

  "Come on, Brother Yu, have a smoke!" Huo Zai took out a pack of soft Zhonghua cigarettes, opened it but hadn't smoked any yet. It was obvious that he had just bought them to entertain big shot guests like him.

  "I'm not used to smoking this kind of cigarette." Di Yu only smokes blue-colored Ai cigarettes.

  "No problem, no problem! If Brother Yu wants to smoke something, I'll have them buy it right away." Huo Zai was extremely flattering towards Di Yu. Although he hadn't read many books, he had a good eye for people and knew that someone who could afford to hire yesterday's expert as a bodyguard must be of high status.

  "In front of that street there is a tobacco shop, and only nearby is sold a kind of cigarette called 'Blue Love' —"

  "You go quickly——forget it, I'll personally go buy it for Brother Yu instead!"

  Di Yu hadn't finished speaking when Huo Zai suddenly shouted to the little rascal beside him. He had originally wanted to call a younger brother to go, but for some reason, he took off running himself.

  In less than ten minutes, he bought back a pack of cigarettes and lit one up for Di Yu himself, leaving Zhou Wei Ming and the other thugs stunned.

  Di Yu found that this little rascal named Huo Zai was quite clever and asked: "What's your name?"

  "Huo Zai, everyone calls me that." Huo Zai hastily replied.

  Di Yu nodded in satisfaction, handing over the more than 8,000 yuan he had cheated from Zhou Weiming to Huo Zai all at once. He chuckled and said: "This is Young Master Zhou's reward for you. You can't come here for nothing, now you know what to do next?"

  He glanced at Zhou Weiming as if he didn't care, and Huo Zai immediately understood his meaning after a brief confusion, saying: "Understood, understood! Brother Yu, you can rest assured, I'll make sure it's done beautifully."

  Huo Zi was stunned at first, then burst into wild joy. He could tell that the stack of cash in his hand wasn't just any ordinary amount - it had to be at least 80,000 yuan!

  He just didn't know that this money was exactly what Di Yu had "cheated" from Zhou Wei Ming.

  "Well, I'll go first."

  Di Yu finished speaking and turned to leave, only to hear Zhou Weiming's terrified voice behind him, shouting repeatedly: "Don't, don't! Huo Ge, you can't treat your brother like this - ah?!"

  Di Yu's face wore a faint smile, Zhou Wei Ming was having a terrible day today, but Huo Zai was quite clever and tactful, saving him some trouble. "Looks like if he can handle it smoothly, I might consider letting Xiao Pao promote him."

  Zheng Tianpao is now the underground emperor of Yanjing City, with a subordinate named Hu Ge. Yesterday's "Ming Ge" was also one of Hu Ge's subordinates, and Huo Zai followed Ming Ge. With Huo Zai's current identity, he ranks much lower in terms of qualifications.

  Of course, there is another way for the underworld to stand out, that is, like Zheng Tianpao, with strong strength to stand out. If Huozi had such a strong strength as Zheng Tianpao, then the name known by everyone in the gang today would be "Huo Ge" instead of "Pao Ge".

  Li Ligang returned to his dormitory, and his mobile phone rang.

  It's another unfamiliar number this time.

  "Recently there have been so many strange numbers, who is it this time?"

  Di Yu picked up the phone, and the voice on the other end made him somewhat surprised, it was actually Bai He.

  The other roommates in the dormitory had not returned yet. Di Yu sat on his bed and smiled: "What can I do for you, Miss Bai?"

  "Uh, Di... Mr. Di, are you free tonight?" Bai He's voice was slightly unnatural.

  Di Yu thought for a moment and said: "Yes, Miss Bai wants to make an appointment with me?"

  "Oh, it's like this, I have a bottle of special Scottish vodka here, it's a collector's edition, and I'd like to invite Mr. Di to try some, thank you Mr. Di for helping our Xiao Hao yesterday"

  "Alright, go to your home?" The beauty invited him, Di Yu had no reason to refuse.

  "No, no! Come on, let's get some drinks!"

  "Ah, okay!" Di Yu readily agreed.

  Bai He invited him to drink, saying it was to thank himself, but instead of being at home, he went to a bar, obviously there were other things. With Di Yu's brain, he had already guessed eight or nine parts, but as soon as he thought of that face similar to a little fairy, his heart couldn't muster up a single bit of refusal. Beauty and liquor together, men find it hard to refuse.

  "Isn't it? The news just came out and you're going to Shen Yao's home, are you meeting the parents?"

  It was unclear when Ma Hao and Huang Shaofeng returned, but after hearing Di Yu's partial conversation, they thought he was talking to Shen Yao on the phone, with a flirtatious expression.

  "It's indeed going to see his parents." Di Yu nodded solemnly, suppressing a smile as he looked at Ma Hao, after all, it was just meeting Ma Hao's parents.

  "Really?" Huang Shaofeng said seriously: "Di Yu, it seems that you and Shen Yao are really dating? Now many people are talking about what happened between you two in the cafeteria..."

  "Just kidding, I'm just pretending with her, she's just using me as a shield." Di Yu helplessly thought that people nowadays are too nosy, it's all because Shen Yao is really too beautiful, both men and women like to pay attention to her, and even he himself gets dragged into the spotlight.

  "What's a shield? What kind of shield?" Ma Hao asked with great interest.

  "In short, she's looking for a fake boyfriend, you know? And that fake boyfriend is me, no need to say more." Di Yu explained the situation with a humorous tone.
