Chapter 235: Subsidy
"Zhang Nianzu, are you okay?"
The crisis was resolved, and Zhuge Daofeng rushed over to support Zhang Nianzu immediately. The short stick with a mechanism in his hand was a new black technology developed by the ant tribe. It looked like a traditional weapon, but it used the latest hydraulic technology. After the stick head popped out, it could penetrate a two-centimeter steel plate. It has a nickname called "human window breaker". Ordinary people would be pierced through the chest if hit by it. The situation was urgent just now and he almost unconsciously pressed the ejection button. As Zhang Nianzu's physique is not even as good as that of a soldier, I'm afraid an accident will happen!
Zhang Nianzu was indeed in pain, but he was not pierced with a hole as Zhuge Daofeng had imagined. He just felt so painful that he could not speak for a while. After a long while, he signaled to Zhuge Daofeng that he was fine. He lifted up his collar and saw that there was nothing serious except a red and white mark on his chest. This place has been injured recently. Zhang Nianzu could not help but laugh at himself, "It seems that Jack is right. Being able to take a beating is also a skill."
Seeing that he almost made a big mistake, Zhuge Daofeng came to his senses and scolded the pedestrians who ran the red light like an experienced driver: "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Ah San said faintly: "Shouldn't we be the ones to say this?"
Li Changgui also said: "The reason why you are still alive is because you are too easy to catch." It turned out that he and Asan were determined to die, and they went all out when they attacked. Then they found that the enemy had almost no ability to resist. If Zhuge Daofeng had shown a bit of momentum just now, he would definitely not be in one piece now...
Liu Laoliu said with his hands behind his back: "It seems that everyone is a little nervous." Xiahou Pili beside him was also in a state of high tension, holding a short stick like Zhuge Daofeng in his hand.
But after all, these people are old acquaintances. Zhang Nianzu forced a smile and said, "Sixth Master, why haven't I seen you for so long?"
"I went abroad." Liu Laoliu smoothed his sparse white hair and said in a nonchalant tone, "We often go abroad, not to show off."
"The Ant Tribe also went abroad?" Zhang Nianzu suddenly woke up and asked, "Did you investigate Jack's identity?" He and Lei Tingting had a quick meeting and learned that the Ant Tribe had sent someone to investigate Jack's background. It seemed that this person was most likely Liu Laoliu. No wonder he had been missing recently.
Liu Laoliu nodded and said, "America is just like that."
Zhang Nianzu took out all the change he had and gave it to Ah San, saying, "Go buy some breakfast—Sixth Master hasn't eaten yet, has he?"
Liu Laoliu hesitated to speak, and finally said: "I'll give you a chance to honor me."
Several people sat in a circle outside the repair shop. Zhang Nianzu asked, "What can you tell me about Jack?"
Liu Laoliu did not answer, but asked: "You have met before, right?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "Yes, you should also understand his purpose."
Liu Laoliu said, "We checked him out to prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation, but the results show that he is indeed from the same lineage as you, and he is genuine. In other words, there is nothing wrong with him claiming to be the ancestor."
At this time, Ah San came back with a bunch of soy milk and fried dough sticks. Liu Laoliu stretched out his skinny fingers, pinched one and put it in his mouth, and said with emotion: "Well, although this thing is cheap, it is still the most considerate thing in the morning. I am almost ."
Zhang Nianzu said, "Didn't Jack return to China a long time ago? Why did you just come back?"
Liu Laoliu said in a sullen voice, "Boy, don't try to trick Master Liu into saying anything. Just say whatever you want to say."
Zhang Nianzu said: "I just want to know why you suddenly appeared here?"
Liu Laoliu said: "Two ancestors fighting is unprecedented. We already know that you are not theirs - before the top leaders of Ant-Man formulate the next policy, nothing can happen to you, so we are here to protect you."
Li Changgui slammed the table and said, "Since when has Grandpa's safety depended on the protection of the ant tribe?"
Zhang Nianzu said calmly, "We need it now." In Li Changgui's tangled eyes, he smiled at Liu Laoliu and said, "Your information is very accurate. I really can't beat Jack."
Liu Laoliu was surprised and said, "Zhang Nianzu, you have changed your personality. With your stubborn temper, I thought you would be the one slamming the table and glaring at me."
Zhang Nianzu laughed and said, "I'll rely on you from now on, old man."
Liu Laoliu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is this the attitude of asking for help?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "You are just following orders. You have to ensure my safety whether I beg you or not."
Liu Laoliu sighed to Zhuge Daofeng and Xiahou Pili: "This kid has learned to be a thief." The other two looked as if they had a long way to go and were full of worries.
Liu Laoliu said seriously, "But let me make it clear, we are not your bodyguards. Our role is to ensure that your lair is not raided. In other words, if you stay in Changsheng Street and don't go out, Liu Ye can keep an eye on you. If you want to find Jack yourself and still expect us to protect you, that's wishful thinking."
Zhang Nianzu said coldly: "Did you also send someone to protect Jack?"
Liu Laoliu sipped the soy milk in a sly manner without making any comment.
"It seems so." Zhang Nianzu said, "Can you tell me what the ants think?"
Liu Laoliu rolled his eyes: "You want to go."
"You can support whoever is easier to control, but the current situation is still unclear, so you have to wait and see. During this period of time, neither of the two ancestors can get into trouble, otherwise this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be wasted, right?"
Liu Laoliu said, "Why do you make it sound so bloody? That's it."
Li Changgui slammed the table again, and Liu Laoliu said calmly: "Why do you always pick on the table? Anyway, we have never been friends. People have to bow their heads under the roof. The subsidy for three meals a day for Master Liu is 185 yuan. It is very approachable for me to sit here with you and eat fried dough sticks."
Zhang Nianzu smiled and said, "So many?"
Liu Laoliu said: "After all, the biggest characteristic of our ant tribe is——"
Zhang Nianzu agreed with him and said, "We have money!"
Liu Laoliu took out a cigarette and said leisurely, "I have explained everything clearly. We are in the RV across the street. No one can kidnap you if you stay on this street. But you will be responsible for all consequences if you leave this street!" He put a Zhonghua cigarette in his mouth and shook the red cigarette box at Li Changgui, "Smoke an enemy's cigarette?"
Li Changgui was also overwhelmed and reached out to take it. Liu Laoliu cooperated with him by flipping his wrist, and Li Changgui took away a Baisha cigarette. It turned out that Liu Laoliu had two boxes of cigarettes stacked in his hand, the top one was Zhonghua, and the bottom one was Baisha. When he handed the cigarette to Li Changgui, he turned his hand and handed the bottom one to him. It was like a magic trick...
Li Changgui looked at the cigarette in Liu Laoliu's mouth and then at the one in his own hand, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not picking on you, but have you really never thought about getting beaten for doing this?"
Liu Laoliu said confidently, "When I'm with you guys, it's considered working time. The company pays for the cigarettes. I also smoke cheap ones in private, so I can't give you the cigarettes bought with public funds. This one is a personal treat for you."
Li Changgui was not stupid either: "Without us, where would you get the subsidies and public-funded cigarettes? Shouldn't you thank me?"
Liu Laoliu lit up the cigarette, blew out smoke rings and said, "Look at what you said. Should street sweepers thank people who throw away garbage? Besides, why didn't I thank you? Didn't I invite you to smoke? We are enemies."
