Li Fei held a cigarette in his hand and looked out the window at the dark night. He didn't expect Xiao Hu to make a fortune like this. He didn't expect that before him, there was a powerful figure in Cheng County. At that time, he was still in school, so it was normal for him not to know about these things.
"And then? Where did Boss Zhu go after that?”Li Fei asked as he finished smoking and threw the cigarette butt out of the window.
"Huh? After that? Who knew what happened after that! As the saying goes, when one leaves, tea leaves. After Boss Zhu retired from Jianghu, no one had seen his true appearance. Some people guessed that Xiao Hu was afraid that Boss Zhu would make a comeback, so he sent someone to assassinate him. Sigh, it was all thanks to Boss Zhu's appreciation of Xiao Hu. He must have felt terrible when his favorite student had gotten rid of him.”The driver said regretfully as he smacked his lips.
Although the driver said so, Li Fei thought that the possibility of this was very small. Boss Zhu had been in Cheng County for so long and had been on the streets for so long. He must have thought that he would lose everything one day. Losing his full strength, losing his money, losing his manpower, and finally losing everything. If it were you, you would have thought of all these if you were standing in that position. Therefore, he must have left a backup plan for himself long ago. Although Xiao Hu had defeated Boss Zhu and replaced him as the boss, his foundation was still not stable. He was also standing on the cusp of the fishing boat. If he attacked Boss Zhu at this time, it would be difficult to convince his subordinates who had followed Boss Zhu in the past. Therefore, he would not be in a hurry to make a move. This would give Boss Zhu enough time to leave. Therefore, no matter what, with Boss Zhu's means, he would definitely be able to escape from Xiao Hu.
Of course, these were just Li Fei's guesses. The authenticity of these guesses still needed to be examined. Perhaps Xiao Hu was a fool and a person who did not play according to common sense?
At this moment, the driver suddenly remembered that he wasn't going to talk about this in the first place. He quickly asked,"Hey, where was I at the beginning? Oh, right, speaking of the times when I was young and racing with people, sigh, you've led the conversation astray. Back in the day, I was known by everyone as the King of Carriage in Cheng County. If you ask the older generation, who doesn't know my name?”
Li Fei was speechless when he saw the chauffeur's smug look.
Seeing Li Fei's disbelief, the driver panicked.""Hey, little brother, don't doubt me. Back then, I was really invincible in Cheng County. At that time, the management of Cheng County wasn't as strict as it is now. He wouldn't wake up early if there were no benefits. Hehe, let me tell you, don't look down on my broken car, it has been with me for ten years. Back then, I drove this old man to become the king of cars, so we are like old friends. I know it well and know how to drive it to its fastest speed…"
Li Fei didn't care whether the driver was the king of cars or not. He had already understood everything he wanted to know. He basically didn't listen to the driver's words. He lay in the front passenger seat and thought about something, letting the driver blabber on and on. Later, the driver was bored talking alone. Perhaps he was thirsty. Seeing that Li Fei was not listening to him at all, he stopped asking for boredom and focused on driving.
After driving for about three hours, they finally arrived at Zhongchang City. At this time, Li Fei had already entered a half-asleep state.
"Hey, big brother, wake up. We've arrived at Zhongchang City.”The driver stopped the car by the roadside and shook the dazed Li Fei.
Li Fei felt that someone was shaking him. The vigilance he had trained in the army came into effect. He woke up in a daze. Almost the moment he woke up, his entire body was ready for battle.
Li Fei's sudden reaction startled the driver. The driver patted his heart and exhaled to ease his mood. He asked,"Big brother, are you alright?"
After Li Fei woke up, he looked around and realized that he was in a car, not in that inhumane hellish environment. There was no need to be so tense. However, no matter how long he left the battlefield, the aura there seemed to seep into his bones, making him subconsciously think that he had returned to that cold battlefield in his sleep.
"Oh, I'm fine. Where is this?”Li Fei looked at the scenery outside the car window and asked.
"Oh, this is Zhongchang City." the driver said quickly.
"Oh, we're here. How much is it?" Li Fei said as he took out his wallet from his pocket.
"Big brother, you're a good person. I'll charge you 200 yuan.”the driver said with a smile.
Li Fei took out four 100 yuan notes from his wallet and handed them to the driver.
"Hey, big brother, you're wrong. It's 200, not 400.”
"I promised to double the fare at the beginning, so I won't go back on my word.”Li Fei said firmly.
"No, no, we can't do this. Otherwise, we won't have any customers in the future.”As the driver spoke, he refused to take more and returned the other 200 yuan.
"Look, it's already so late, but I still had to trouble you to send me all the way here. I even made sister-in-law quite unhappy. I'm quite embarrassed. I'll give you 300 yuan. The other 100 yuan is my apology to sister-in-law.”
"Hey, big brother, how can that be? No one's money comes from the sky. I definitely can't accept this money.”The driver was still arguing. He really couldn't understand if his brain was not working well. He didn't want more money from others.
"Oh, it's almost midnight. Big Brother, you haven't slept all night either. Take this 100 yuan to find a hotel room and have a good sleep. Otherwise, it's too dangerous to drive back in this state.”Li Fei said as he stuffed another 100 yuan into the driver's hand.
The driver looked at the money in his hand. Since Li Fei had already said so, it would be a little unreasonable for him to refuse. Therefore, he did not push it back and forth and kept the money.
Just as Li Fei turned to leave, the driver called out to him from behind,""Hey, big brother, wait a moment.”
Li Fei heard the driver's shout and turned around, looking at the driver with a puzzled expression. The driver rummaged in the car for a long time before finally finding a piece of paper and handing it to Li Fei. He said,"Big brother, this is my name card. If you need to call a car in the future, remember to call me. I'll definitely be there.”
Li Fei looked at the so-called business card in his hand. It was actually just a piece of cardboard with a name printed on it. Moreover, the business card was in tatters, as if it had been stored for a long time. There was even some grease stuck to it. The content on the business card was very simple. There was only a name and a string of phone numbers.
Li Fei looked at the name on the paper and smiled at the driver."Uncle, so your surname is also Li. The two of us can be considered relatives.”
"Haha, that's really fate. Alright, big brother, go do your things. I'll find a hotel to sleep in.”The driver also knew that Li Fei had something urgent to attend to in Zhongchang City, so he tactfully did not disturb him. After saying this, he drove away.
After the driver left, Li Fei looked at the three words on the business card and smiled to himself."Che Wang Li? Hehe, this guy was really confident.”
This driver was a good person and suited Li Fei's taste. Otherwise, Li Fei wouldn't have been so polite to him. However, whether the two of them would interact again in the future was another matter.
As Li Fei thought about it, he casually put the business card into his pocket and walked toward the vast night.
It was already early autumn. Li Fei walked alone on the streets of Zhongchang City. The autumn wind seeped through his thin coat and into his clothes. Although it was not too cold, it still made Li Fei shiver. Li Fei tightened his coat and walked aimlessly on the street.
It was now three in the morning, and most people were sleeping soundly. The streets were empty, and the dim street lights stretched Li Fei's lonely figure.
When he was in Cheng County, Li Fei tried everything he could to rush to Zhongchang City. However, when he arrived, he didn't know how to find his father's whereabouts. Damn it, it was so late at night, and there was not even a ghost on the street. There was not even a place to ask for directions.
This was Li Fei's first time coming to Zhongchang City. When he got off the car, he realized that he couldn't distinguish between north, south, east, and west. He didn't have anyone he knew around him. He was really helpless.
Are you going to let me wander on the streets until dawn? If only Yi Qingxuan was here now. She was a local of Zhongchang City, so she should be very familiar with the city. Damn it, why did he forget to ask for her contact information back then? Li Fei walked aimlessly on the street, feeling depressed. At this moment, Li Fei remembered that his father wasn't the only one who had been captured by the Qiyun Gang. Yi Qingxuan was also captured. He didn't know how she was doing now. Those people probably wouldn't make things difficult for her. After all, their goal was to bring Yi Qingxuan back to report, not to kill her.
Along the way, the shops were flashing with neon lights, but none of them were open.
Just as Li Fei walked past two streets, he finally saw the first person he saw since he arrived in Zhongchang City.
It was a breakfast shop. The shop was already busy before dawn. Li Fei walked forward and saw that the shop was open. An old man had set up a big pot at the entrance of the shop. There was a pot of porridge boiling in the pot. Li Fei knew that this was prepared to be sold to the early morning workers.
"Sir, you're already busy?”Li Fei went up to greet him and found a table to sit down at. With the help of the fire, Li Fei could see the old man's face clearly. He had a head full of silver hair and a kind face. When he saw Li Fei greet him, he immediately nodded happily. In short, he looked like a very kind old man.
"Haha, young people nowadays are getting more and more diligent. They have to wake up early. Many people are waiting for breakfast. Young man, you're also quite early. Come, what do you want to eat? Bun or youtiao? They were all freshly cooked and still warm.”When the old man saw Li Fei sit down, he quickly stopped what he was doing and went forward to welcome him warmly.
Coincidentally, Li Fei's stomach was already growling after a night of driving. He ordered four buns, two youtiao, and a bowl of porridge. He planned to make his decision after eating his fill. After all, it was useless to wander around on the streets now.
After ordering, the old man went to serve Li Fei's meal, while Li Fei sat there and waited quietly.
After a while, the old man brought the steamed buns and youtiao that Li Fei had ordered to the table. When the old man was serving the meal, Li Fei accidentally glanced at the old man's hands. Although his hands were old and full of wrinkles, there were no calluses at all. It did not look like the hands of a person who had worked hard for his entire life. Li Fei was secretly surprised. He looked at the old man's face again and realized that although the old man had a head full of silver hair and many wrinkles on his face, he actually had a noble temperament at first glance. It was so inconsistent with his identity as a breakfast seller.
Although Li Fei had some doubts in his heart, he did not show them. He took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks container and picked up a fried dough stick.
This old man…was a little special.
