Tie Shan stood on top of a wall that was almost two people tall. Firstly, it was difficult for him to stand firm on his feet, and secondly, it was basically impossible for Xiao Long to reach his hands.
Time was of the essence, and there was a huge risk. If they couldn't go up, they would pull Tie Shan down, and no one would be able to escape. He resolutely chose to run backwards.
"Over there! Chase after him! Don't let him get away!" The villain pursued relentlessly. Tie Shan stood on top of the wall and watched as a few machetes chased after Xiao Long. He steadied himself, thought like a bolt of lightning, and jumped off the wall.
The dragon's motor nerves were extremely sensitive. Even though it had not been deliberately trained, it ran faster than most people. It was like a hound, quickly leaving its pursuers far behind.
Xiao Long was very familiar with the terrain of this area. He turned and turned, and walked through several streets, trying his best to walk towards a crowded area. In fact, this area was close to the slums. The buildings and facilities here were very backward and the streets looked dilapidated. There were many dark and humid areas. There were only a few pedestrians at night.
After running for an unknown amount of time, the strength of the dragon was insufficient. There was still a difference between it and an athlete who had trained before. He stopped to catch his breath and looked around, trying to find a place to hide. Just as he was relaxing his guard, he suddenly felt people appearing from the side of the road like ghosts and their pursuers were coming again!
Xiao Long groaned inwardly. He did not expect that these people were more familiar with the terrain here than he was with them.
There was no other choice. The little dragon could only continue to run. Even if he couldn't run, he had to run. If he didn't run, he had to die!
The two groups of people came from different directions. There was only one path for Xiao Long to take.
Xiao Long gritted his teeth as he sprinted forward. He accidentally kicked a rock, tripped on it, and his body instantly lost its balance, falling to the ground.
When he got up again, the pursuers were already less than ten meters away from him! Even worse was that he was running out of stamina. The men behind him were much stronger, and their speed had increased instead of slowing down. They could catch up in less than ten seconds.
"My life is over." The dragon secretly complained, suddenly remembering the Water Margin's Lin Chong was about to be killed in the wild pig forest. Lin Chong had Lu Zhizhen to save him, but where was Lu Zhizhen, who could save Xiaolong?
At this critical moment, the little guy lost his focus, staggered a bit, and then fell back to the ground. It seemed like he could only allow himself to be slaughtered this time around. While he was in the midst of despair, he suddenly heard the sound of a dipper. Following that, a police officer holding a gun rushed over and shouted, "What are you doing?!"
"The cops are here, brothers, retreat!" One of them shouted, and the others immediately became vigilant. They no longer paid attention to the dragon, and quickly turned to the right and ran.
"Xiaolong, are you alright?" Tie Shan ran over to help Xiao Long up.
"It's fine, luckily you were there in time, or I'm afraid I would have been completely disfigured." Xiao Long smiled bitterly.
"It's good that you're fine, it's so good that I don't have to bring you back to record your statement." The policeman that was brought over by Tie Shan pushed his gun back into his waist and walked over.
"Asir, thank you so much!" The dragon bowed slightly to the policeman.
"No need to thank me. This is my job." The policeman said to Xiaolong, "But I must advise you, those people kill without batting an eye, if you have nothing to do, don't provoke them. Next time, be careful. We won't always be so lucky."
"Thanks for the reminder, I will be careful." Xiaolong sincerely said.
"En, it's good that you understand. I'll be leaving first." Then, he turned around and left.
"Xiaolong, let's go back as well." Tie Shan said anxiously. Xiao Long nodded. The two of them were very careful as they jogged back and forth. From time to time, they would turn their heads back to check if anyone was following them.
Before long, the two of them returned to Tie Shan's home safely.
"No one followed, right?" "Tie Shan asked with some lingering fear in his heart. No, we were very careful all the way. " The little dragon said with certainty.
It was only then that Tie Shan seemed to have taken a tranquilizer as he laid down facing the sky, took a deep breath and said: "The following days will not be easy!" Xiao Long sat down beside Tie Shan and slowly said: "Don't worry, I won't implicate you. Their target is me."
"I am not afraid that you will implicate me, what plans do you have for the future? They're not going to let it go. " Tie Shan held onto the back of his head, he tilted his head and looked at Xiao Long, waiting for his reply.
"Let me think first." Xiao Long covered his head with his hands, deep in thought.
Tie Shan did not speak further, and waited silently.
After a while, Xiao Long raised his head and said to Tie Shan word by word, "I must leave this city. There's no other way. "
"Are you serious?" Tie Shan jumped up from the bed, stared at Xiao Long, and continued: "Is there no other way?"
"Nope." Xiao Long helplessly shook his head, "Can you think of a better way?"
Tie Shan thought hard for a while, then suddenly thought of something. He said happily, "You can go and find that Mr. Yuan, he must be a very important person. Only he can help you."
"It's useless. Don't say that I don't know how to find him. Even if I did, I wouldn't have gone there." "We are people from different worlds."
Tie Shan sighed, and said: "I know, how could a top student from a famous school mix with the underworld?" After saying this, he suddenly became anxious and continued, "But have you ever thought about where you want to go? Have you ever thought about going somewhere else that you're not familiar with? The key thing is, you don't have money, and you don't even have a place to stay? "
"I don't care about all that. If I don't leave as soon as possible, I will die!" Xiaolong's words were loud and clear, his tone was full of helplessness and unwillingness.
Tie Shan had nothing to say, and only after a long while did he say: "Alright, since it's a competition of brothers, I will definitely support you. I still have several thousand private money, and it's all used as transportation fees for you. Where are you going? "
"I haven't thought it through yet. Give me some time to carefully plan it out." The dragon said.
"Okay, you can stay at my house for now. Tell me after you've thought about it, and I'll send you on your way." Tie Shan patted Xiao Long's shoulder, his eyes unknowingly becoming moist.
"Shan, no one could have predicted that something like this would happen. I can only say that I am very sorry, but I will definitely return the money to you in the future." The little dragon said gratefully.
"We'll see. We've been friends for so many years, there's no reason for us not to help you." Tie Shan said.
"Good brother …" Xiao Long held Tie Shan's hand, his heart was warm and grateful, the worry and unease in his heart was swept away in this instant.
The next day, Tie Shan bade farewell to Xiaolong and left for school by himself. Just as he was about to reach the school gates, a luxurious bridgehead stopped beside him, and from it emerged a beautiful and lithe young lady. It was Yang Xiao Fen. Tie Shan naturally recognized her and quickly turned around to avoid her.
"Hey, wait a moment!" Xiao Fen called out to Tie Shan, and quickly followed along, pulling Tie Shan back, "Why did you leave after seeing me?"
"I'm not leaving, are we still waiting for you to call for someone to chop me down?" Tie Shan did not stop and said while walking.
"What did you just say?" Xiao Fen appeared to be at a loss.
Tie Shan turned around angrily, and said sternly: "Last night, Xiaolong was almost killed by someone, don't you know?"
Xiao Fen's face was full of shock. After a long while, she said. "I know now, I wasn't the one who did this, whether you believe it or not."
"I also believe that you didn't do it, but this matter happened because of you. What's the difference?" Tie Shan was still enraged.
"Where is he now? I want to see him. " Xiao Fen made a request.
"Stop dreaming, I won't let you know where he is." Tie Shan said firmly.
"You're afraid I'll harm him?" Xiao Fen said, "I am a person who repays favors and favors, he was injured while saving me, I only want to compensate him with something, how can I harm him?"
Tie Shan heard and said: "You will not harm him, but someone wants to kill him!"
"Believe me, I promise you that nothing like this will ever happen again." Xiao Fen promised.
"Give up! If you really want him to be good, then stay away from him. " Tie Shan said.
Seeing that Tie Shan's heart was stone-cold, Xiao Fen did not force him, and nodded: "I understand." With that, she turned around and returned to the car.
The limousine drove away. Tie Shan watched as the bridge disappeared into the street, before turning around and continuing to walk towards the school gate.
Yang Xiao Fen was very clear, she knew that the only one who could send people to kill the dragon could only be Lin Kai, and she knew that she had to "talk" with Lin Kai.
Right now, she was on her way to find Lin Kai.
After around half an hour, she arrived at Lin Kai's production room. She took the elevator to the top floor and walked towards Lin Kai's office.
The door was not closed, so Xiao Fen directly walked in. When she saw Lin Kai, he did not say anything, but sat down on a sofa with an angry look on her face.
Lin Kai naturally noticed that Xiao Fen was not in a good mood, but pretended to not care about it, and stood up slowly from the chair, walked to Xiao Fen, lit a cigarette, and held it in her mouth, and slowly said: "What, who made you angry? You look so glum. "
"Speak!" Xiao Fen raised her head and looked at Lin Kai, "Are you looking for someone to kill Xiao Long?"
"I don't understand what you're saying." Lin Kai puffed out a cloud of smoke as he denied everything.
"I don't care if you admit it or not. If anything happens to Xiaolong, or if he dies a violent death, I will fight to the end with you." Xiao Fen said in all seriousness.
"My lady, can you not be so unreasonable?" Lin Kai explained himself, "If he chokes himself to death from eating, or falls down the stairs and dies because of me? I am not the god of death, so I can't possibly think of anyone who will die, right? "
"Don't you want him to die?" Xiao Fen asked.
"Why do I want him dead? I'm still afraid of him having an affair with you? " Lin Kai denied it, "He's just a poor little kid, I don't even place him in my eyes."
"I'm afraid you don't share the same sentiments." Xiao Fen said, "I know that you have always been narrow-minded and narrow-minded, but I never thought that you would be so petty, which really disappoints me."
"Enough!" Lin Kai was also angry, "What I'm saying is the truth, it's up to you to believe it or not!"
"Alright, let's meet up with Xiaolong together. You have to promise me that you won't hurt him." Xiao Fen made a request.
"I have nothing to talk about with an unknown poor boy!" Lin Kai said.
"What I mean is that by turning him into one of your own, as long as it's one of your own, you cannot harm him. Killing your own school is the biggest violation of the rules. You know that." Xiao Fen said.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Lin Kai looked at Xiao Fen solemnly.
"What are you worried about? Or … "You don't have confidence in yourself?"
Lin Kai turned around and thought for a moment, then agreed: "Alright, let's do it!"
It was always late autumn, and it was only a matter of time before the sky turned dark. When Tie Shan returned from school, he found out that Xiao Long was not at home! He was very anxious and immediately ran over to Xiaolong's house. In the end, even his sister, Xiao Yu, was unaware. Little Yu still didn't know what had happened, so she kept asking Tie Shan questions. Naturally, Tie Shan wouldn't tell her the whole story, he only said a few words to comfort Little Yu, and then left with a heavy heart.
When Tie Shan returned home, he happened to agree to the words: There's no need to look for those broken iron shoes, it doesn't take him much effort to obtain them. The little dragon was sitting on his bed, perfectly fine.
"Where have you been? Didn't I tell you not to go out? " Tie Shan was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time, he spoke with a tone of reproach. I'm sorry, I was called out by them. " The dragon said.
"They? "Who are they?" Tie Shan was shocked, "Those people are knocking on our door?"
"I talked to them for a long time."
"You talked to them for a long time?" Tie Shan quickly walked to Xiao Long's side and sat down, asking: "Are you injured?"
"I'm fine. It's just that I've decided not to leave." Xiao Long said seriously.
"Why did you change your mind?" Tie Shan asked.
"They won't hurt me because I decided to join them." "They also asked me to go to the Tianxin Hotel at night to help. I can get paid a lot."
"Wait a minute, are you joining them because of the association?" Tie Shan said in surprise, "Aren't they all in the same boat?"
"They're in the right business. They're protected by the law. They're not in the same boat." The dragon said.
"You're covering it up. You know they have a lot of shady business." Tie Shan said.
"Let's not argue anymore. I've already promised them that we will start work tomorrow night." "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Xiaolong …" Tie Shan gently called out, then looked at Xiao Long. Is there anything else? " Xiao Long stopped in his tracks and looked at Tie Shan.
"No matter what happens in the future, no matter what sort of person you become, we will still be good brothers." Tie Shan said from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you …" For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Then, without another word, he turned around and walked out.
Leaving Tie Shan's house, Xiao Long's heart became heavier. He had concealed a portion of the truth from Tie Shan and had no choice but to comply with Lin Kai's request, because they had already found Tie Shan's house. If he rejected them, not only him, but even Tie Shan himself would be the victim. Strictly speaking, he was threatened by Lin Kai to join their guild. In order to not disturb Tie Shan's normal life, he decided to keep his mouth shut and bear all the pressure on his own body.
