Chapter 71: Life and Death
Lei Xiaohu asked Zhang Nianzu: "Who are you?"
He was able to achieve such a great success today not only by relying on his fists, but also by his keen sense of danger. In the afternoon, someone attacked his place alone, and in the evening, Zhang Nianzu attacked his camp alone. The first point is that they are different people, and the second point is that they are enemies. The rest is not so important. When gods and ghosts fight, mortals just need to avoid them. This feeling is not good, just like a huge dark cloud covering the head, which cannot be seen through or pierced. Maybe a fatal lightning will strike at any time. Take today for example. If the enemy brought a large number of troops to kill Lei Xiaohu, he would not even frown. But the fatal thing is that this unknown crisis made him feel deeply powerless.
It can be said that Lei Xiaohu is very smart, so what he asked was "Who are you" instead of how did you do it.
Zhang Nianzu said: "There is no time to explain. Just remember to stay out of anything related to me and you will be safe."
Lei Xiaohu sighed, threw the half-broken knife on the table and said, "You guys go."
Lei Tingting excitedly opened the drawer, found the key, handed it to Zhang Nianzu and said, "You should drive."
Lei Xiaohu: “…” He now knew what an extroverted girl meant, but Lei Tingting was his biological daughter after all, so he glared at Zhang Nianzu again.
Zhang Nianzu spread his hands and said, "I am sorry for you." In this matter, Lei Xiaohu was really the victim. He was his boss, but he ended up in this situation. Zhang Nianzu's apology was quite sincere. He turned and said, "But I didn't lie to you. The day I sent Tingting home was the first time we met."
Lei Xiaohu covered his face and said, "What sin did I commit in my previous life? You two should leave now."
Zhang Nianzu took Lei Tingting out of the door, and Lei Tingting finally said sadly: "Dad, take care of yourself."
Lei Xiaohu waved his hand silently.
When they got outside, Lei Tingting carefully avoided the people lying on the grass. The two got in the car and drove out of the Lei family villa. Lei Tingting looked at Zhang Nianzu quietly, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Finally, her eyes turned red and she said, "Why did you come to see me now?"
Zhang Nianzu drove the car and was silent for a while before he said seriously: "Tingting, I have something to tell you. No matter what your conclusion is, wait until tomorrow, because I think you have to think about it seriously before giving me an answer."
Lei Tingting paused and pouted, "Is it so serious? Then tell me."
Zhang Nianzu hesitated for a while and said, "My race is a special group. I just found out about this."
Lei Tingting didn't think it was a good topic, so she asked worriedly, "What do you want to say? Did you get beaten up and become stupid?"
"Once upon a time, there was a race called the Strongman Tribe. Most of the men in the tribe were good at fighting--" Zhang Nianzu repeated to Lei Tingting what Lao Jiang had said to him and Zhao Weiming for the first time in the bar. This matter was not complicated in itself. The difficult part was to make people believe it was true.
Lei Tingting widened her eyes and asked, "You want to say that you are from the strongman tribe?"
Zhang Nianzu nodded. As for the identity of his grandfather, he couldn’t explain it clearly for the time being and didn’t bother to say too much.
Lei Tingting thought seriously, and suddenly subconsciously pointed behind her and said, "So you were the one who defeated all those brothers of my dad?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "Someone gave me special training for three days in order to make me stronger."
Lei Tingting said: "I believe it!"
Zhang Nianzu smiled bitterly and said, "You are so easy to trust others."
"From the moment I met you, I felt that you were different. So this is the reason." Lei Tingting chuckled and said, "I remembered those stories in Liao Zhai, but the one I met was a male vixen. It's about the same principle, right?"
Zhang Nianzu asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Lei Tingting said firmly: "Whether you are a human or a ghost, I like you!"
Zhang Nianzu: “…”
Lei Tingting asked: "Is this what you want to tell me?"
"This is all background information. It is to tell you how terrifying the Strongman Tribe is. Now here is what I want to tell you - there is a large amount of public funds in the tribe that is kept by my father. Now they are gone, so maybe the Strongman Tribe warriors are coming from all over the world to find me. If you follow me, your life will be in danger at any time."
"Hasn't your father already..."
Zhang Nianzu said: "In the eyes of others, it is entirely possible that he faked his death. The amount of money is so huge that it is unimaginable. No matter what someone did for it, it was deserved."
Lei Tingting asked, "What about you? Do you believe that your uncle would even cheat you for money?"
Zhang Nianzu smiled bitterly again and said, "To be honest, I don't know either, but he is my dad after all."
Lei Tingting said: "No matter what others do, I believe in you!"
"What do you believe in me?"
Lei Tingting said: "I believe you won't lie to me, and I believe you will protect me."
Zhang Nianzu sighed and said, "But I can't guarantee it. Every one of my clansmen is much harder to deal with than your father. I almost died at the hands of one of them, and he would do anything to achieve his goal. He came to capture you just to threaten me. Fortunately, I found you a step ahead of time."
Lei Tingting's eyes suddenly turned red.
Zhang Nianzu wondered, "What's wrong with you?"
"Tell me, if you didn't know I was in danger, would you not have come to find me?" Lei Tingting said angrily.
Zhang Nianzu could only tell the truth: "Yes."
"You're annoying!" Lei Tingting punched him on the shoulder.
Zhang Nianzu was confused and speechless. He didn't know what was wrong with him, nor did he know why Lei Tingting suddenly got angry.
Lei Tingting sniffed and said, "Nian Zu, including today, we have only met four times in total, right?"
Zhang Nianzu thought to himself that it should be the third time. When he first met Lei Tingting, she was so drunk that she barely opened her eyes...
"Yeah." Zhang Nianzu is not stupid, so he naturally won't argue about this.
"Then do you know why I fell in love with you at once?"
Zhang Nianzu said without hesitation: "Because we are the same kind of people, it is not easy to find each other."
He had thought about this question too. He thought about a girl he had only met a few times, day and night. Especially after Lei Tingting was taken away from the hospital, he endured a deep and bone-eroding longing, which made him feel incredible and absurd. Later, he finally figured it out. The reason why he and Lei Tingting were strongly attracted to each other was because of the same characteristics in the two of them. He couldn't say what they were. In short, it was a very happy and rare thing for the two of them to walk into each other's world. It was like finding the only one of their kind in a bizarre world. That feeling was hard to describe, but it would make people tacitly understand and determined. If it weren't for what happened later, even with Lei Xiaohu as an obstacle, Zhang Nianzu would have overcome all difficulties to find Lei Tingting!
Lei Tingting stared at Zhang Nianzu and said blankly, "You said it very well." Then she asked angrily, "Then why did you back down later?"
"because……"
Lei Tingting said loudly: "I am not afraid of death! I have thought about it a long time ago. If something happens to you or you never come to see me again, then I will not live either."
Zhang Nianzu suddenly remembered Aunt Wang's words. He felt warm in his heart and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
Lei Tingting shouted again: "Don't leave me again in the future."
Zhang Nianzu said, "I understand."
The two of them smiled at each other. There were many things that no longer needed to be said. Then they both blushed at the same time because they remembered an interesting thing: they had really only met a few times.
This feeling of being dependent on each other for life and death but not too familiar with each other is really good.
