The Ultimate Student in the City

Sometimes, rejection is a very cruel thing, so Li Zedao did not refuse Jia Ming's invitation. According to Ming, he got off work at 5:30, and now the time is almost up.

"Benefactor." Not long after, Jia Ming's agitated voice came from behind him.

Li Zedao looked back at him and greeted him with a slight smile: "Uncle, I've said it all, just call me Zedao."

"It can't be done, it can't be done." Jia Ming said with some panic, "How can this be done?"

Seeing Jia Ming's insistence, Li Zedao couldn't say anything, it was just a title anyway, so he didn't insist on Jia Ming changing his title.

"Benefactor, the place where I invited you to eat is a bit far away, let's go there by bus." Jia Ming pointed to the bus platform there with some embarrassment and said, "I don't know if my benefactor is used to it...or take a taxi alright."

Li Zedao knew that the taxi fee of tens of dollars was not a small amount of money for this simple old man, so he smiled and said: "I'm used to taking the bus for more than ten years. How could you not be used to sitting?"

"Really?" Jia Ming's face was even more embarrassing. He only treated him as a benefactor to make him feel at ease and joked with him. With a beautiful girl, if the benefactor really has no money, how could those beautiful girls be with him?

Li Zedao nodded and smiled, "I used to take the bus to school."

"That's good, that's good." Jia Ming nodded and said, "Benefactor, let's go there. The No. 5 bus is coming soon, and I've got the change ready."

As he spoke, Jia Ming took out two neatly folded one-yuan banknotes from his pocket.

Seeing him like this, Li Zedao's heart was slightly shaken, and inexplicably remembered his previous life. He used to treat money so sacred, as if he was afraid of profane it, but sometimes he wanted to tear it in half... …Spend a dollar as if it were two!

The two of them arrived at the bus station, and after waiting for a while, the No. 5 bus that Jia Ming mentioned slowly pulled into the station and stopped.

Jia Ming asked Li Zedao to get in the car first, and he got in later and invested the money for Li Zedao, and because it was off-duty time, there were quite a lot of people in the car.

"benefactor,

It made you tired..." Jia Ming looked embarrassed.

"It's okay, uncle. I used to squeeze the bus a lot before, and I'm used to it." Li Zedao responded with a smile. In order not to embarrass Jia Ming too much, Li Zedao changed the subject, "Uncle, where are we going?"

"There is a snack bar at the intersection of four times. I used to work there. The stir-fry there is very good. I believe it will suit your benefactor's appetite." Jia Ming said with an embarrassed smile.

Li Zedao nodded. It's not too far from Quadruple Intersection. It only takes about ten minutes by bus. He said immediately, "Uncle, are you from Fenghuang City?"

"No, my hometown is in Yanjing." Jia Ming said, and then sighed softly, his face looked even more vicissitudes, "Although I am an inconspicuous person, I used to live in a place like Yanjing There is still a courtyard left by the ancestors..."

"Siheyuan..." Li Zedao was slightly amazed. You know, there are not tens of millions of courtyards in Yanjing, so you can't afford it. In this way, Jia Ming is also a rich person. It seems that this honest-looking person also has An unknown story.

But I heard Jia Ming continue to say: "Later, my gambler wife lost her. After losing all the family property, she couldn't think about it, so she hanged herself and left."

Li Zedao was stunned. Fortunately, his wives are not good gamblers. Otherwise, wouldn't his money be lost overnight?

Jia Ming shook his head with a sad expression and said: "After my wife left, my daughter couldn't bear it for a while, and ran away from home. This made me anxious. She is a child, and she can't let people go outside. Bullied? Even if she wasn’t bullied, where did she get the money to buy food and clothes? Where can she live? So I searched like crazy and finally got the news that my daughter is in Fenghuang City, so I also went to Fenghuang The city is here, but it has been almost three years since I came to Fenghuang City, but there is still no trace of her."

Jia Ming sighed heavily, with a lonely and remorseful expression on his face.

"It turns out." Li Zedao nodded with a slightly heavy heart and said, "Uncle, you will definitely find your daughter."

Jia Ming shook his head with a sad expression, and then said with an embarrassing expression: "Benefactor, I shouldn't have told you this, it made you feel bad along with me."

Li Zedao smiled and didn't say much.

Right now Jia Mingdong was babbling nonsense, talking about flowers and plants, and ten minutes passed quickly, the car stopped at the intersection of four times, and the two got out of the car.

"Benefactor, the snack shop is right there..." Jia Ming pointed to an alley not far away. As soon as the words fell, an old mobile phone in his pocket uttered a very sharp singing: "The little backpack is dangling, and my mother carried me down the stilted building amidst the laughter..."

"Benefactor, let me answer the phone." Jia Ming looked at Li Zedao apologetically and said, then he found out the domestic magic phone, then pressed the call button and said, "Hey, who are you looking for... I'm Jia Ming... what... what..."

Jia Ming's face instantly became extremely ugly, his body trembled slightly, and his tone was full of panic: "You...what did you say...ok...please don't hurt her... ...Where is it? I'm going right now...I get it...I get it...please don't hurt her..."

After hanging up the phone, Jia Ming was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, looking at a loss: "What to do... what to do..."

"Uncle, what happened?" Li Zedao asked quickly.

"Benefactor, I'm really sorry, I have to leave first...I'm going to invite my benefactor out for dinner another day...I...I'll go first...the bus..." Jia Ming said with a smile on his face He smoked, "What about the bus? It's a taxi... yes... a taxi..."

"Uncle, what happened?" Li Zedao saw that he was talking nonsense in a hurry and slapped his face again, even tears were about to come out, so he asked again, "Tell me, maybe I can help you .”

"Benefactor...I...how can I trouble you?"

"Uncle, meeting is fate, what's the trouble?" Li Zedao persuaded, "Don't worry, tell me what happened."

"Benefactor, I... I... Oh, what's going on?" Jia Ming cried anxiously, "My Qianqian...they want to bully my Qianqian..."

"flourishing?"

"My daughter." Jia Ming said in a speechless manner, "I...I have been looking for her for three years, but I never thought she was really in Phoenix City...a man just called me and said that my daughter is in their In my hand, I don’t pay back the money owed by gambling, let me take the money, otherwise I will sell Qianqian to..."

Jia Ming's voice was choked up as he spoke, and he was already in tears.

Li Zedao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll go with you to have a look."

"Benefactor...thank you...thank you..." Jia Ming grabbed Li Zedao's arm and said with a grateful expression, "benefactor, let's go now..."

Li Zedao nodded, then walked to the side of the road and stopped a taxi. After getting in the car, Jia Ming gave an address in a trembling voice. One can imagine how confused he is now. There was news about her daughter, but it was not good news.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a dilapidated restaurant.

Li Zedao paid the fare and got out of the car with Jia Ming, who was shaking a little, and stood in front of the "Phoenix Snack Bar".

"Uncle, is this here?" Li Zedao asked.

"Fenghuang...the snack bar...the other party said on the phone that it is indeed here..." Jia Ming said, the worry in his eyes became more serious.

Li Zedao nodded and said, "Uncle, let's go in."

A young man with red hair and pimples was sitting in front of the computer looking for faults. When he saw someone coming in, he said without looking up, "Eat or stay?"

Li Zedao didn't even know that this was a so-called secret signal, but he counted straight to the point: "Is there a girl under your control?"

The young man raised his head, glanced at Li Zedao with an arrogant look, and said, "Boy, are you looking for smoke? If you don't want to eat, get out and don't disturb me playing games."

"...Brother...it's like this, someone called me and asked me to come and pay back the money..." Jia Ming, who was standing in front of Li Zedao, said cautiously.

The young man glanced at him and said, "You are that bitch's old man? Didn't you come alone? He... who is it?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Zedao a few times with unfriendly eyes, as if he picked up the keyboard and wanted to smash the opponent's head if he disagreed with him.

"I am his nephew." Li Zedao said.

The young man nodded, stood up and said, "Let's go with me, damn it, and waste my time playing games."

At the moment, with a very arrogant look, he cursed a few words and led the way, walked towards the back of the hotel, first passed a dirty small corridor, and finally pushed open the dirty door to enter , the eyes suddenly became clear.

This is a wide hall. There are one table after another in the hall. Some men and women gather around the table. Some are playing mahjong, some are playing poker, and there are two tables for those who like to play dice. The gamblers bet on the carnival, and it turned out that this was a small casino hidden in a hotel.

The whole space was filled with the smell of smoke and a stench that Li Zedao couldn't tell, which made Li Zedao feel a little nauseous.
