Chapter 90： I miss someone (1)

Thirteenth Street is the most prosperous area at night in the whole Jiangcheng. There are many people here. There are many bars here, and many bars are on the next floor, and there are underground casinos with no sky. Pin Jinwo.

There are high-gamblers who spend a lot of money, there are penniless quacks, and vendors who sell cigarettes and alcohol for a small business.

The second floor of the casino is the control room. There is one-sided see-through glass here, which can see the environment in the casino and the cards in everyone's hands clearly.

The man in a suit and leather shoes was standing in front of the perspective mirror, looking blankly at the inside of the casino, his slender fingertips carrying half-curved cigarette butts.

In the field, gamblers glowed with red faces, looking nervously at the croupier girl, waiting for her to send the cards to the players one by one.

The so-called life and death, riches and honors are in the sky, every night in this gold cave is staged an alluring drama of getting rich overnight.

Of course, more are ruined.

"Brother Shu, how about it, who was caught helping them out?"

"Look again."

"Be careful, the boss takes this matter very seriously."

The man put the cigarette **** out in the cigarette stick and looked up at a little girl in the yard who was selling cigarettes and lighters with boxes.

The little girl is not very old, at most fifteen or six years old, with a scorpion-tail braid, a white-washed T-shirt and jeans with ripped suspenders, and black sunglasses, lingering among gamblers.

No matter who she walks behind or looks at whose cards, no one will be guarded, because she is a blind woman with her stick.

She is familiar with the environment of this underground casino, and she often comes here for a little half a month.

Before Ji Shu entered Ji's house, he followed his mother's surname Cheng.

Cheng Shu stared at the blind woman intently, saw her stop behind a gambler, stayed there for two or three seconds, and then slowly left, and came behind another gambler, with her cane sticking on the ground a few times. under.

Da Da Da Da, Da Da.

It seemed to be spreading a signal, and soon, the gambler won a pot overflowing.

This situation lasted for several days.

Cheng Shu couldn't stand it anymore, raised his fingertips, and said calmly, "Bring her here."

"Yes."

However, just as his subordinates were about to leave, Cheng Shu added: "Don't be discovered by the guests."

Several subordinates acted immediately. Before the blind girl entered the bathroom, they silently covered her mouth, forcibly dragged her away, and brought her to Cheng Shu's office.

The blind girl was very cooperative and did not struggle to yell. She discovered that the other party did not seem to want to make a public announcement. If she left the matter at this time, it would not end well.

Several men pushed the quiet girl into the office, and then closed the door.

Cheng Shu got up from the chair, slipped to the girl's side, and circled her twice, the delicate steel pattern lighter in his hand made a "click" and "click".

The girl was guarding her surroundings, her face pale.

Cheng Shu looked at the inferior sunglasses on her little face, chuckled lightly, and turned on the lighter, bringing the burning flame a little...close to her immature white face.

The girl remained calm at first, but when she realized that the man might really be burning her with a flame, she shuddered.

The flame was not too far away from her white face, the girl was shaking all over, but she was motionless.

"Very dedicated." Cheng Shu turned off the lighter, took off her sunglasses and threw it on the wall.

The wet eyes were already filled with tears, but she just didn't let the tears fall.

Cheng Shu looked at her.

She has a pair of Danfeng eyes with the most oriental feminine taste, and she is a little arrogant and stubborn in her cuteness.

When I started to cry, I was pitiful again.

Cheng Shu threw the lighter on the table, then leaned against the table cabinet, and asked in a slow tone: "How old is it?"

The girl bit her lower lip, reached out her hand and gestured to him, indicating that she could not speak.

Cheng Shu hummed coldly: "Pretend to be blind and dumb?"

The girl looked at him anxiously and nodded.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Brother Shu, the boss asks you, has the guy who came out of the thousand caught?"

Cheng Shu turned around and was about to open the door. The girl suddenly rushed out from behind and hugged him by the waist to prevent him from going forward, begging eagerly, "Brother Shu, please!"

At this moment, she was really frightened, her eyes were full of fear, and she hugged his waist tightly, her whole body was shaking: "Don't hand me over, I will die! Please!"

Cheng Shu casually said: "Murdering is illegal, at most you will be beaten, but you should be mentally prepared for this."

The girl hugged him tighter, her voice trembling: "Just a fight, I...I admit, but these guys, you know what they will do to me, please! I'm only 15 years old this year, brother Shu, please Up!"

Cheng Shu was moved by her phrase "I'm only 15 years old this year".

He recalled that when he was 15 years old, he did the same thing as her, and was beaten severely. If he was not a man, he might no longer know how many times he had suffered.

Another urgent urge from his subordinates came from outside the door: "Brother Shu, the boss asked you if something happened?"

Cheng Shu's gentle palm fell on the girl's shoulder, patted gently, motioning her to let go.

The girl looked at him tremblingly, and he raised his voice and said, "It's okay, I've missed it. This is a real blind man."

So there was no more movement outside the door.

The girl let out a sigh of relief, leaning against the wall, collapsed all over.

"Just wait here for a while, and go by yourself when it's dark, no one will embarrass you."

After Cheng Shu said this, he turned and went out with his suit jacket, ready to report to the boss.

The girl nodded with a guilty conscience, and when he pushed the door to leave, she quickly said: "My name is Su Xiaotang."

Cheng Shu seemed to hear it, but didn't seem to hear it again. After a pause, he turned and left.

Su Xiaotang sat bored in his office, sometimes flipping through the unreadable documents on the desk, and sometimes walking to the window to look outside.

This office is really awesome. The floor-to-ceiling windows can see the entire casino and everyone's cards clearly.

She knows that Cheng Shu is the second in command of this casino, a very powerful man, but he does not seem to be the same as the ones from the outside world. It is said that he has a bad personality and cruel heart. He climbed to where he is today step by step by his own ability. I don't know how much blood is on my hands.

However, Su Xiaotang felt that the rumors could not be fully believed. A man who was truly cruel would not show mercy to a woman.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when Su Xiaotang left the office, he secretly looked out at the door, and there were a bunch of men standing outside the door.

She took out the inferior lipstick from her bag and vomited it on her mouth, then spread it, and messed up her hair, making herself very embarrassed.

Ready, she took a deep breath, pushed open the door, bowed her head and left.

Sure enough, these men didn't embarrass her, Cheng Shu told her to let her go, so they gave her a way.

However, when these men saw Su Xiaotang's messy appearance, it seemed that they had encountered a protracted and rough "battle", and a meaningful smile appeared in their eyes.

So when Cheng Shu came back, his subordinates smiled at him ill-intentionally, and congratulated him, making Cheng Shu confused.

He helped Su Xiaotang cover his eyes. Fortunately, in those few days, Su Xiaotang stopped helping others, selling cigarettes and lighters decently, and becoming a swindler with professional ethics.

It is strange to say that the men in the casino are quite polite to this false blind girl. In the past, there were always malicious guys teasing her and bullying her, but now, no one bullies her anymore.

Although Cheng Shu was puzzled, he didn't delve into it. As long as the little girl stopped talking to him, he wouldn't care if she pretended to be dumb and did a little business in the yard.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world. Just as Cheng Shu came out of the bathroom that day, his subordinate Li Zhao smiled and said to him: "Brother Shu, I don't see that you are still a lover."

Cheng Shusui glanced at him and said nonchalantly: "Speaking of people."

"I fell in love with that little girl, and actually paid for the boss to fill in her holes. A lot of money, I admire it!"

Cheng Shu didn't take his words to heart, only said: "The little girl who doesn't have all the hair, I am not blind."

"Is that little blind man not in love with you?"

"Am I crazy?" Cheng Shu frowned. "She is ten years younger and can be my daughter."

"Haha, ten years younger, you also said, do you want to be someone else's dad?"

"I want to give birth to such a disobedient daughter, I will be beaten to death."

"Then the rumors are wrong, hehehe, when I didn't say it, don't take it to heart."

Li Zhao left leisurely, and Cheng Shu could hear it in the mist.

It hasn't started yet, the bar is empty with only a few cleaners.

Cheng Shu walked out of the bar and strolled around the street casually.

From a distance, he saw a beautiful figure, like a breeze blowing from an alley in midsummer, which made him refreshed.

Su Xiaotang drags the foam box and sticks the blind stick, slowly walking around the streets, selling yogurt.

She was wearing jeans with suspenders. The jeans didn't fit well, and the style was wide, making her figure even thinner.

She still wears sunglasses and walks slowly. She really looks like a blind person. She is a powerful acting school.

On the side of the road, a little gangster bought yogurt from her and gave her money. She said that one and two yuan would not be supplemented. The little gangster was not happy: "Fuck, one and two yuan is not money, why not make it up."

She pointed to the back of the freezer foam box and let them look. After seeing this, the little bunny's face changed, and she didn't dare to say more, and left without luck.

The corner of Su Xiaotang's mouth raised, dragging the box to continue walking the streets.

But when she meets a child, she won't be so overbearing, and she doesn't care about one or two yuan less.

"Your business is a bit arbitrary."

A very magnetic voice came from behind.

Su Xiaotang's figure was shocked, and he looked back at the description.

"Well..."

Obviously, the conscience is guilty.

Cheng Shu knocked on her frozen foam box: "Bring me a cup of yogurt."

"Sold...sold out."

"Sold out so soon?"

"Yeah."

"Open the box and let me have a look." Cheng Shu was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and pulled off her inferior sunglasses and put them into her shirt pocket, urging impatiently: "Hurry up."

"Are you a sir? You are so fierce." Su Xiaotang learned the Hong Kong accent and pouted, "They didn't do illegal business."

Cheng Shu looked at her and said indifferently, "I'm not afraid of me now, so I'm still playing tricks?"

Su Xiaotang was still a little afraid of him, and murmured: "Then... you promise me first, don't be angry, and don't hit me."

"It depends on my mood."

Seeing Cheng Shu's prepared posture, Su Xiaotang knew that today was doomed, she sighed softly, and opened the lid of the foam box nervously.

There was a photo of Cheng Shu himself on the cover, and it was obvious that it was taken secretly when he was not paying attention.

In the photo, he is wearing a black suit standing at the entrance of the bar, frowning slightly, lowering his head to light a cigarette, and a gangster temperament.

On the photo, the slanted handwriting read: "Don't mess with me, my dear is fierce."

Cheng Shu:...

The little girl has a guilty heart and shortness of breath, so she quickly took out a cup of yogurt from the box and handed it to Cheng Shu: "Please eat, no money, I have something to do, go ahead and bye!"

"From now on, you will run away if you don't want to do business on the 13th Street. I won't stop you."

Su Xiaotang stopped, she turned her head, and Cheng Shu smiled: "Brother Shu~"

"Call Dad."

"Dad!" The little girl stood at attention immediately: "From today onwards, you are my pro-dad!"

Cheng Shu opened the lid of the box, tore off the secret photo, and patted Su Xiaotang's cheek unceremoniously: "What counts for defamation of my reputation?"

The girl thought for a while, and said calmly: "It seems that only fake dramas can be done."

"……dream."

Su Xiaotang saw that he was still unhappy, and anxious: "I am blind, but I pretend, if I follow you, I will not pretend, I must dress beautifully!"

Really have this thought!

Cheng Shu was a little angry: "Children of your age should study in school and think about how to get into a good university, instead of going to be a woman for some big brother, how can your parents teach you!"

He really wanted to teach her the child's parents severely.

"Do you think I don't want to study."

Su Xiaotang pushed the yogurt truck and muttered, "My adoptive parents don't ask me to go to school. There are so many younger brothers and sisters in my family, I have to work hard to earn money."

Cheng Shu heard the words, probably can guess that this little girl must have difficulties when she went to work in a bad place like an underground casino at a young age.

But in this world, unfortunate people have their own misfortunes, and he can't help her.

Cheng Shu unpacked the wrapping paper, put the straw into the yogurt cup, turned and left slowly: "For its sake, you don't care about the previous things. If you dare to slander in my name, I'm really welcome."

After he left a long way, he turned his head around the corner, and Su Xiaotang stood sullenly in place, quite disappointed.

This girl is very clever, and he is only a few years older than her for his appetite. If they meet two years earlier, maybe the two can still try to be a company of each other.

But now... Cheng Shu doesn't have this lace mind.

He raised his head and saw the tall buildings of the Ji Group not far away, his dark eyes were surging with waves.

**

The threat was effective, and in those few days, the little girl was never seen again.

Just like the surface of the lake was caused by layers of ripples by a small stone, after the ripples dissipated, his life would eventually return to peace.

But he was unwilling to live in such a diminutive time, and he was unwilling to live in a narrow and rudimentary rental house. He had great ambitions in his heart and wanted to break into the sky.

He has this qualification.

A few days later, at four o'clock in the morning, Cheng Shu came home from get off work. Just stepping out of the bar, he saw a familiar figure squatting on the side of the road, shivering.

Because it had just rained in the early morning, puddles accumulated on the uneven road.

He stepped on the water and passed by the girl without looking at her.

A few drunk men behind him went crazy, carrying beer bottles, screaming to find a woman.

After walking a few steps, Cheng Shu finally stopped and couldn't walk.

Although it is definitely not a good idea to take her away, it is definitely a bad idea to keep her in this empty street.

He took a deep breath, turned impatiently, grabbed the little girl's slender elbow, and carried her back.

"Brother Shu, it hurts..."

The little girl drew back desperately.

With the faint light of the street lamp, Cheng Shu saw blood in her face and bruises on her thin arms.

His face instantly became cold: "Who hit you?"

"No, no one."

"Don't say I'm leaving."

He really wanted to leave, Su Xiaotang's face hurriedly called him: "My uncle, that's... adoptive father."

"Adoptive father?"

"Isn’t you caught the bag last time? I can’t help people anymore. I can earn a lot of money by selling yogurt. My younger siblings have to go to school and eat, and the youngest is still eating milk powder. I didn’t earn enough money and I was beaten. Slightly."

Seeing the shocking bruises on her body, for a moment, Cheng Shu felt that his heart was being picked up. He had no relatives, no daughters or sisters, but he could feel the same.

"I dare not go home. This is your place. No one dares to bully me. Go back and leave me alone. I'll just sit here until dawn."

Su Xiaotang said, squatting on the side of the street, secretly looking at him with aggrieved eyes.

Having said that, Cheng Shufan is still a man, and there is no way to leave her on the side of the road, so she can only take her back to her rental house.

The room is very small, the single room is ten or so flat, a bed occupies half of the country, and the ceiling light is dim. Although the house has no furniture, it still looks crowded.

But the view outside the window is very good, open the window, you can see the tallest landmark office building in Jiangcheng, that is the office building of the Jishi Group.

After entering the house, Su Xiaotang stood awkwardly by the window, feeling a little at a loss: "I thought you had a girlfriend, but it was said that you were turbulent outside..."

Cheng Shu searched for the medicine cabinet and ignored her.

"So... I really don't have a girlfriend."

"none of your business."

"Then you still consider me?"

Cheng Shu threw the medicine kit on the table and said lazily, "I don't like you, right?"

Su Xiaotang was also an arrogant man. He felt uncomfortable when he heard these words, and turned around angrily to leave.

"Forget it, who is rare."

Cheng Shushun pulled her back, took out the ointment, squeezed it on the tips of her fingers, and applied it to the bruises on her face.

"A little girl your age, are you thinking about falling in love?"

Su Xiaotang felt the man's rough fingers rubbing her cheek, a little pain, but she could bear it.

"A man of your age, do you think that you don't fall in love and only engage in women?"

Cheng Shu suddenly tried hard, she exclaimed: "Oh, it hurts!"

"Remember it hurts." Cheng Shu said lightly while giving her medicine: "Since you know, don't get too close to these men."

Su Xiaotang stared at him with those narrow and narrow Danfeng eyes: "Brother Shu, you are a good person."

Cheng Shu's mouth twitched.

He is a good guy, and there may be no bad guys in the entire Thirteenth Street.

He stopped continuing the topic and asked, "How did you get to your adoptive father's house?"

"This is a long story."

While he was packing the medicine box, the girl simply lay on his big bed, looking at the ceiling light dangling from the ceiling: "My parents are patriarchal, and I sent me out when I was born. After turning a few times, I don’t remember how many adoptive parents."

"When I arrived at this house at the age of thirteen, their family originally had many children, but they couldn't support them. At the beginning, they asked me to help them raise the children at home. Later, when I got older, I asked me to help them earn money. On Sanjie, I've also heard of Shu's famous name! Talking about how Shu's hands are black-hearted, I think this must be such a scary man to make these guys so scared, I didn't expect my Shu to be so handsome. .."

"okay."

Cheng Shu didn't want to listen to her embarrassment anymore, and took a mouthful of "Brother Me Shu", as if they were close to each other.

He went to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles, divided them into two bowls, one large and one small, and beat another egg and put it in a large bowl.

Cheng Shu handed the large bowl of noodles to Su Xiaotang, and left the small bowl of noodles for himself.

Su Xiaotang seems to be hungry. No matter whether it’s hot or not, Su Xiaotang gobbles up half of the meal and eats it in three or two bites. Then he has free time to watch and say: "You eat well, I am embarrassed. Up."

"lose weight."

"Isn't it! You big man, how can you lose weight? Besides, how can you lose weight with your physique."

Cheng Shu's physique is extremely standard, he can be seen by his arms and elbows, and he is definitely a macho.

Cheng Shu ignored her. He knew that he had to stay in shape, even thinner. He had seen Ji Yangfeng, the eldest son of the Ji Sanjia family, and they looked very alike.

If he gets thinner...

After eating, Su Xiaotang sat on the edge of the bed, yawning one after another, so sleepy.

Cheng Shu looked at the sky at dawn and dawn. At this moment, he really couldn't bear to drive her away, so he pulled the mat out and made a bunk next to the big bed so that the little girl could sleep on the ground.

Su Xiaotang is not fussy either. She also slept on the ground at home, so she took off her shoes and fell asleep on the mat.

Cheng Shu was lying on the big bed, feeling tired, and soon fell asleep.

It was the afternoon when I woke up again, the room was empty, and Su Xiaotang had already left.

However, there are still traces of a woman after all. For example, his dirty clothes and even his socks have been washed and dried out of the window sill, and there are still small dumplings with residual warmth on the table.

Cheng Shu put on his slippers and walked to the table, and saw a neat line of writing on the memo pad on the table——

"Brother Shu, I'm going to sell yogurt, thank you for taking me in, knowing that you lose weight, buns are vegan! -3-"

Cheng Shu didn't know what the symbol behind it meant, so he threw the note away, grabbed the bun on the table and chewed a few bites.

It's really plain stuffing, vegetables and mushrooms, bought at the bun shop on the corner downstairs.

He raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that it would be nice if he had such a daughter with him.

After washing, Cheng Shu went out and started working all night.

Boss Zhao of the casino treated him well and wanted to cultivate and promote him to second-in-command. However, Boss Zhao is not a good stub, and his heart is dark. He heard that he had died in his hands. They are all cases that cannot be found, so Cheng Shu will not be true. Want to stay by his side.

Sooner or later, he will go out and will never mix with these people... forever.

He wants to wash away all the sins on his body, go out innocently, and live a stable life
