Chapter 17
"Why are you here? What are you doing here? I've already hidden here, what else do you want to do to me?" The man who fell out of the window shouted in grievance and anger before he even got up from the ground.
Rong Yuan: “…”
These words made everyone look at Rong Yuan strangely, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
The man didn't realize that he had said something that could easily be misunderstood. He leaned his head out of the window and met Rong Yuan's cold glance. He was so scared that he shrank back and curled up his tall and strong body behind the window, like a bear who was deceiving himself.
His subordinates, that group of tough men, all turned their heads away, feeling extremely ashamed for having such a boss.
Rong Yuan was speechless. He walked to the only long sofa in the living room and sat down. He naturally ordered, "Go and call him in."
The tough guys, or tough guys for short, looked at each other in bewilderment. According to common sense, they should stand up for their boss at this time and ask Rong Yuan questions with angry eyes, such as "Who are you?" "Do you think any Tom, Dick or Harry can see our boss?" "You're looking for death!" "Do you know who you're talking to?" and so on. But...
Their BOSS is still hiding outside the window!
What if they protested and scolded, but the boss gave in in a minute? Then...
So, after the tough guys A and B looked at each other for a while, they actually turned around and went out to call for help!
The tough guys Bing and Ding and the others didn't know what expression to make, so they continued to stand there with their hands behind their backs and monitor Rong Yuan - Rong Yuan was sitting while they were standing, and to Mia and the others outside the door, it seemed as if they were all Rong Yuan's subordinates.
The tough guy C tried very hard to put on a serious poker face and stared at Rong Yuan. As he stared, he saw that Rong Yuan seemed a little bored. His eyes swept over the teapot on the table and stared at it for two or three seconds, with a curious look on his face.
The tough guy C walked over without thinking, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Rong Yuan respectfully.
When he realized what he had done, his heart collapsed, but he stood firm! He calmly returned to his original position, continued to stand with his hands behind his back, and completely ignored the surprised looks of others, as if he had just done something normal.
The tough guy Ding turned his head with a confused look on his face, and his whole body was in chaos.
——Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? I am helpless, okay? This is embarrassing, okay? Someone, tell me what to do now? !
The tough guy Ding now desperately wanted someone to come and tell him to do something, even if it was just serving tea or water, but there was no one.
So...it's better to continue standing.
Strong men Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, etc.:
Ten minutes passed...
Zhihuo: "He hasn't gone in yet?"
Okoto looked up and saw that the man who was so dignified and imposing at first was still clinging to the pillar outside the door, with his butt hanging down as if he had taken root there. He nodded and said, "Well, no."
Zhihuo: "So... they know each other, right?"
Okoto: “Yes.”
Zhihuo: "Then, he is very afraid of Mr. Rong, right ?"
Okoto: “Obviously.”
Zhihuo: "Then why didn't he run?"
Okoto: "You know you can't run away, right?"
Zhihuo: "Then just go in! It looks like Mr. Rong doesn't intend to do anything to him."
Okoto was silent for a while, then said, "...Are you scared?"
Mia: “Like we are now?”
Everyone looked as if they were in pain: Girl, why do you always say things so hurtfully?
Yes, they didn't enter the house either. The tough guys were still guarding the door, and their boss hadn't stopped playing dirty. Rong Yuan could ignore the threats of these people and let them make a fool of themselves like clowns, but Okoto and the others didn't have the courage to do so. The ignorant Mia wanted to enter the house, but they stopped her. So at this time, they squatted neatly outside the door like kindergarten children waiting to be claimed by their parents.
Seeing that this was not a solution, the tough guy A walked up to the man and whispered something in his ear, and he showed a horrified expression and shook his head vigorously. Then the tough guy A said something again, and the man froze, and finally let go of the pillar in his arms, stood up tremblingly, and walked into the living room with a face ready to die. Then, everyone else was driven out. Everyone looked at the small building eagerly, listening hard with their ears erect, but they could not hear any movement inside.
Fierce Man B moved closer to Fierce Man A and asked softly, "What did you just say? Why did the captain change his mind?"
The tough guy A said: "Let me tell you first, as long as you give the order, we will attack together and kill him!"
——No wonder the boss looked like he was about to be scared to death... Does this mean that all the knights combined have no chance of winning?
Tough guy B asked, "And then?"
The tough guy A said, "Then I say - or do you want to delay until he loses his patience and comes to kill you?"
Tough Man B: "..." After silently sympathizing with his boss for a while, he said, "Who is the man inside?"
"I don't know." Fierce Man A's face was gloomy, "But he must be a very scary person."
Tough Man B nodded silently.
Bai Le walked into the door of the small building with a mood of waiting for trial. He waved his hand, and his subordinates filed out and considerately closed the door for him.
He saw Rong Yuan sitting on a soft sofa (Note: it was Bai Le's sofa) with a cup of steaming hot tea in his hand. He raised his eyes and glanced at him, without any murderous intent, but it made his scalp tighten and his legs go weak.
Just like many years ago, this man who was not taller than him, not stronger than him, and looked younger than him, could make him terrified with just a look or a gesture, and he wanted to kneel down and call him daddy.
He took a deep breath, laughed dryly and said, "Rong... uh, I wonder what brings you here? What can I do for you?"
Rong Yuan leaned back and said with a half-smile, "Didn't you ask someone to bring me here?"
"Haha, what a coincidence, what a coincidence. I really didn't expect to meet you." At this moment, Bai Le wished he could travel back to two hours ago and slap himself dozens of times.
Rong Yuan nodded and said, "Well, I didn't expect to run into you."
——Shit! Didn’t you send me in?
The veins on Bai Le's forehead jumped and he almost roared out in anger, but he held himself back in time.
Speaking of the relationship between the two of them, it’s really hard to describe in words - especially for Bai Le.
Back then, he was also a happy and proud second-generation pirate. His father was a well-known space pirate who could mobilize tens of thousands of mechas to fight in real-life PVP at any time. He had even fought head-on with the regular army of the empire several times, winning more than he lost. He also looted habitable planets and the empire's transport ships. At that time, their space pirate group was truly a standout in the criminal world of the empire, and countless later generations looked up to them.
Then, during a routine, warm-up cruise, his father saw a lone merchant ship sailing on a secluded channel. Against the dark background of the vast universe, the light seemed so weak and helpless. His father suddenly decided to make a profit, so he gave an order and three battleships, five cruisers, and a dozen small frigates surrounded the small merchant ship aggressively.
At that time, none of them knew that it was a disguised battleship escorting Princess Serinda back to her country, and they didn't know that there was a person more terrifying than a prehistoric monster in charge of that small spaceship.
Then the driving systems of their starship were all hijacked by the invaders, and his father was captured by Rong Yuan who was alone in the deep sea. The group of reckless star pirates were forced to become the escort team of the small merchant ship, and fought bloody battles with the forces that later killed Princess Serinda. When Rong Yuan was finally willing to let them go, the once huge force of the star pirates had been beaten to pieces.
Afterwards, his father didn't learn his lesson. He integrated his forces and clamored for revenge, but he was killed before he could make any waves. He retaliated again, and was killed again. He retaliated again... This time he didn't have time to run away, and was caught by Rong Yuan. His father and the backbone of the star pirate gang were thrown into the Red Prison Star, and a group of minions who were not qualified to enter the Red Prison Star were sent to remote planets to mine and open up wasteland.
The two former subordinates who finally escaped from the pursuit found Bai Le and tearfully recounted their miserable experiences during this period. The naive and proud second-generation thief stood up and swore revenge, but when he told his purpose, the two subordinates ran away secretly that night. Bai Le, who was alone, had to disguise himself as a fake identity of an empire that his father had prepared for him. He went through untold hardships to lurk beside Rong Yuan, trying to find his flaws and annihilate him in one fell swoop!
The idea is beautiful, but the process is painful.
In order to successfully hide, he tried to please Rong Yuan in various ways, and showed his courtesy in various ways. However, Rong Yuan did not take him seriously, and the enemies provoked by Rong Yuan thought that he was Rong Yuan's number one lackey! Then when the gods fought, he was the fish in the pond who was affected countless times, and many times it was Rong Yuan who saved him. Time and time again... I don't know what happened, but the title of number one lackey became more and more solid, and many people did not dare to cause trouble for Rong Yuan, so they pushed him to the ground and scolded him again and again.
It’s better not to talk about those days mixed with blood and tears.
Later, Bai Le felt that he had finally gained Rong Yuan's trust, and he could no longer tolerate this kind of life. Finally, after complete preparation, he took the risk of assassinating Rong Yuan one day when he was not paying attention!
And then... then he arrived at the Red Prison Star, and the father and son were reunited, it was a happy occasion... tears in my eyes.
Thinking of the past, Bai Le was filled with bitter tears, but when it came to confronting his former biggest enemy Rong Yuan head-on, he... he still didn't dare.
As Rong Yuan's old enemy (self-proclaimed), Bai Le had observed the man in front of him day and night, and had a profound understanding of his power that far exceeded that of ordinary people. Therefore, at this moment, Bai Le no longer had any resentment in his heart, only fear and deep regret——
Alas, isn't life good? Isn't it wonderful to watch beautiful women singing? Why did he want to recruit a strong man in person when he heard that he had entered the city? Why... open the door and invite a tiger in?
Bai Le's mind was full of changes and his expression kept changing. Rong Yuan admired him silently and did not disturb him.
It can only be said that different people may have completely . For Bai Le, the impression Rong Yuan left on him is unforgettable, but in Rong Yuan's view, Bai Le has only one description in his heart -
This unlucky child!
If there's any other way to describe it, it's - a little silly, really.
He will fall into any trap he sets and jump into any pit he digs. He has tricked you so many times, but you are still not alert at all. If you are not stupid, what else can you be?
