Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 187: Xiao Muchu Still Has Some Humanity
When Li Si returned to Qianjialou, he found that the store door was closed for some reason.
On normal days, the store should have been open at this time, which made him a little confused, so he pushed open the door and walked in.
At this time in Qianjialou, the shopkeeper Zhang Susu and a group of waiters were standing in the hall, gathered around a table, seemingly discussing something, with worried expressions on their faces.
Only Banjiexian was still standing there, wiping the dust off the windows nonchalantly.
It was not until they saw Li Si walk in that everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. They left the table and surrounded Li Si, talking in unison.
"Xiao Si, are you okay? I heard that you were just taken away by a man?" Zhang Susu asked this question, and while saying this, she touched Li Si's body twice, as if she was afraid that he was missing a piece of flesh.
"You haven't been bullied, right? Do you want us to report to the police?" Xiao Cao asked.
Li Si smiled bitterly and didn't know how to answer her question. It was as if he could be bullied in any way. How could he, a man, be taken advantage of?
"The city has been uneasy recently , with gangsters carrying swords everywhere. You should be careful and don't just follow anyone." Hao Dayou said as he stood aside with his hands folded.
He seemed to have a deep prejudice against people from the underworld, which was why he disliked Li Si when he first came.
"If you have any problems in the future, you should discuss them with the people in the store first, so as not to make everyone worry." Lao Luo always appeared very calm. Considering that Li Si might have gone to deal with his own personal affairs, he just gave a calm instruction.
In fact, they had reasons to be so worried. There were more and more gangsters in the city these days, and the government had sent more patrol officers just in case. All kinds of rumors were spreading everywhere, and the people in the city were also on high alert.
These rumors have their own origins and are all very mysterious. Some say that Dugu Bufu came to Jiangnan to grab a bride, and some say that people in the martial arts world discovered a secret treasure here. In short, there are all kinds of rumors.
But no matter what the truth is, this is undoubtedly a big deal, and ordinary people like them should not get involved in it.
So when they heard that Li Si was forcibly taken away by a man in fancy clothes, everyone in the store became nervous.
But fortunately, at least for now it seems that Li Si is fine.
Surrounded by so many people, Li Si didn't know what to say for a moment. To be honest, he hadn't been cared for so directly in a long time.
The expressions of the people in front of him were very sincere, and they undoubtedly treated him as one of their own. Even Zhang Susu, who loved money the most, temporarily stopped her business because of him. This made him feel a little ashamed. After all, he had deceived them in many things.
But there was no other way. Oftentimes, people were unable to be completely honest, whether because of themselves or because of external factors. Li Si understood this very well, so he could only cover up some things.
"Cough." After a dry cough and a guilt-ridden smile, Li Si continued speaking half-truthfully.
"It's really my fault this time. I didn't tell everyone in advance. But it's really nothing serious. It's just an old friend who came to visit me."
Everyone knew that Li Si was a man of the underworld . Now that such a big thing had happened in Mingzhou City, it was reasonable that his friends from the underworld would come to him.
After hearing Li Si's explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They thought it was some old-fashioned plot of forcibly abducting a woman , and they were already prepared to report it to the police.
At this time, Banjiexian, who was standing aside, put the rag in his hand on his shoulder, leaned against a table and said.
"That's what I said, what could possibly happen to him?"
He didn't dare to say anything else, but with Li Si's current martial arts skills, unless those old monsters in the martial arts world came, no one could cause any harm to him.
wrong.
Thinking of this, Banjiexian suddenly tilted his head again.
It seems that this guy has made some breakthroughs recently, so those old monsters may have to think twice before dealing with him.
Moreover, Banjiexian has always known that there is another person behind Li Si, which is why he came into contact with Li Si in his early years.
With that person around, no one could do anything to Li Si. At least he wouldn't dare to do that, and those old guys probably wouldn't dare to do that either.
"Oh, at least everything is okay." After checking back and forth several times and making sure that Li Si was indeed fine, Zhang Susu smiled and waved her hand, saying with relief.
"Then open the door and do business quickly, don't keep the customers waiting."
Seeing Zhang Susu's eyes turned into the appearance of copper coins again, several shop assistants looked at each other helplessly, opened the shop door, and began to prepare for the day.
…
At the same time, outside the teahouse of Fengyu Tower, in a roadside pavilion.
Song Ning lay between the tiles, holding the sword at his waist with a fierce look in his eyes, looking inside the teahouse and spoke in a cold tone.
"I should have thought that Xiao Muchu must have no good intentions when he approached Miss Hong!"
Just now, he saw with his own eyes that Miss Hong was molested by Xiao Muchu in the teahouse. If Peng Tao hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed in.
Fortunately, Xiao Muchu still had a little humanity and did not force the powerless girl, otherwise he would have gone to stop her no matter what.
Peng Tao lay beside him, put his hand on his shoulder and spoke.
"Calm down, don't let your impulse lead you to miss important things."
They came here to monitor Fengyu Tower, and they must not be exposed like this.
"Of course I know that." Biting his teeth in hatred, Song Ning continued to take a deep breath and observe the movements in the teahouse.
At this time, Xiao Muchu was sitting on the second floor of the teahouse drinking tea. Because of his arrival, the second floor of the teahouse was not open to the public and there was no customer around.
Suddenly, a waiter ran up, walked to Xiao Muchu's side and whispered something.
Xiao Muchu listened to him quietly, put down the teacup in his hand, smiled faintly and said, "Okay, I understand, you go down first."
"Yes." The waiter bowed and left, leaving Xiao Muchu alone still sitting at the table.
What did the waiter say to Xiao Muchu?
Actually, it was nothing. It was just that the people from Fengyu Tower discovered Song Ning and Peng Tao, as well as some other people from the martial arts world, who were watching from the side, so they came to inform Xiao Muchu.
But Xiao Muchu obviously didn't care about this, because what he was doing now was originally for those people in the world to see.
If no one watches it, then all his work would be in vain.
Take a closer look, things should get more interesting.
With a slight smile, Xiao Muchu continued to add more tea to himself.
Only in this way can this world be interesting enough, right?
