Chapter 23 Join the gang

The first thought in my mind was the "blood demon". The horror of this monster was already deeply rooted in my heart, so when I heard the strange movement, I immediately thought it was it.

The bearded man gently took his hand away from my mouth, and held his index finger on his lips, signaling me not to make a sound. Then he made a few simple gestures, as if telling me that he counted one, two, and three, and we rushed out together.

I nodded, stared at the bearded fingers, one, two, and three. Then I roared and rushed out of the bedroom.

The man outside the house was startled by me and the bearded man, and a loud "ah" scream, followed by a crackling sound, and a few bottles of beer were knocked over to the ground. I looked at the man again, Damn! Isn't this a prince!

Three people looked at me, and I looked at you, and my heart was so confused. The prince took the lead in breaking the embarrassment and shouted at me with an angry look: "What the hell are you fucking? I was so scared! Are you full? How old are you still playing hide-and-seek?"

I blamed him with displeasure: "Nonsense! I didn't know it was you? Why didn't you make a sound when you entered the door? I was so sneaky that I thought it was a thief! No, how did you come in?"

The prince pointed at the door open behind him in discontent: "Are you Parkinson? You didn't close the door yourself, I walked in directly." I was stunned when I heard it, thinking that I must have been anxious to go home just now and forgot to close the door for a while.

Looking at the beer that was broken all over the ground, I felt a little embarrassed. I said to the prince: "Tait! I was wrong, I blame you for being wrong. I will go downstairs and buy again later. I will take care of how much you drink."

The prince gave me a disdainful look, then pointed at the bearded man and asked me, "Who is this master?"

Before I could answer, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said in surprise: "God... you are not doing that tune, right? Gao Lin doesn't want you, your sexual orientation has changed?"

I was so angry that I almost fainted when I reached out and reached out to him for a fierce head: "What do you think of your big bald head all day long? I'm so fucking angry. Look carefully, isn't this the 'artist' you admired for a long time that day?"

The prince stared at the bearded man for a long time before shouting in surprise: "Oh! Why are you? Why are you... how did you become like this?"

The bearded man did not answer his question, but asked coldly: "Did you hear something just now?"

The prince said innocently: "What did you hear? I just came in!"

The bearded man shook his head slightly, stared at the prince's eyes, and said in a low voice: "No, you have come in long ago, you are lying."

The prince still refused to admit it and pretended to be angry and said, "Oh, hey! Are you sick? Lao Xie is my brother. I can come in any time when his house is coming in. It's your turn to take care of it? Besides, I just came in."

The bearded man's eyes were shining with shiny eyes. Seeing that he was already angry, I was afraid that things would break out, so I hurriedly stopped the bearded man and said, "Don't be excited, this is my good friend, even if... even if he hears it, it's nothing?" Then I turned around and asked the prince, "Tell the truth quickly, did you hear it just now?"

The prince found a step for himself and said with dissatisfaction: "If you ask me, I will tell the truth. Who is he? I was angry with him, so I didn't tell the truth." Then he said with a smile: "Hehe! Lao Xie, I said why are you so elusive recently? It turns out that you have opened a private detective center with...?" While saying that, he gave the bearded look.

My bearded man and I looked at each other and thought to myself: He really heard it.

I thought about it, then pulled the bearded man aside, and whispered to him: "The prince is my best buddy. I have been together for 5 years and must not be a bad person. Now that he already knows, why don't you tell him all the time? It just so happens that I feel lacking in staff these two days. To be honest, you have a trick to kill the blood demon, but if you give advice, you really can't help me. Why don't you join him and you can definitely help us a lot."

The bearded man's head was shaking: "Didn't you say that he was not strict a few days ago? What if he told him about this, what should he do if it spreads?"

I smiled and said, "I have my own trick to pull him into the gang, and I can also conceal the truth about the blood demon, and ensure that he will not leak the secrets."

The bearded man lowered his head and thought, as if he was having a strong ideological struggle. After a while, he looked up and said to me, "You will be the one who will take charge of this time, I will listen to you."

My heart was finally overwhelmed and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the bearded man had known me for a long time, the old saying goes, "True love is seen in times of adversity." This is exactly what our friendship is. But the prince always wore a pair of pants with me. Although he often bickered, he was like a brother, and no one could do without anyone else. The blood demon was placed among my two good friends, and I always had difficulty choosing and I was often uneasy in my heart. Besides, the situation just now was about to be stiff, and I was afraid that it was the result I least wanted to see. Fortunately, the matter had already developed in the direction I hoped, and a big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

I thought about it in my mind, then called the prince over and told him a kind lie. I told the prince that the bearded man is the officer of a high-tech company, known as "Lao Hu". He is looking for a mutant race called the blood demon, similar to the savage of Shennongjia. Lao Hu and I have a cooperative relationship. Their company promised me that as long as we help find the blood demon, the company promised to give 6 million yuan in rewards. Since we are brothers, I won't hide it from you. The three of us will work together and give you 2 million yuan in rewards at that time. But the premise is that we cannot tell anyone, including our own relatives.

After hearing this, the prince looked at me squintedly, with a look of contempt: "You didn't plan to tell me at first, did you? Now I know that I heard the truth and I had no choice but to tell me. Actually, you want to eat 2 million yuan and don't take me to play, right?"

I comforted him and said, "Where do you want to go? You don't know how good we have to do with each other. Can I hide the good things about making money from you? Let me tell you the truth. I didn't tell you a few days ago because I was not sure about the authenticity of this matter. I was afraid that I would tell you at that time if the matter was unreliable in the end, it would hurt your enthusiasm. Later I investigated and thought it was feasible, so I told you, don't always think about it."

The prince was still unwilling to give in, but he was born with money and was tempted by 2 million yuan, so he naturally agreed. He also swears to the lamp that he would even kill him and would not let him know a word.

Compared to me, the prince accepted bizarre creatures like the Blood Demon very quickly. It was natural to think about it. He believed in the invisible and intangible ghosts and evil gods, let alone such flesh and blood entities.

He also asked a question, how could this kind of treasure hunting be found on you? What abilities does a young man who has just graduated from college deserve to be hired by a high-tech company?

I said nonsense, saying that my bearded parents had been friends with my parents for many years, so I would naturally not forget the son of my good friend's son when I made money. In this way, the prince was completely convinced.

When I negotiated with the prince, the bearded man was always looking at him coldly. Seeing that I was making up, he couldn't help but look contemptuous on his face. Although I was embarrassed, the best way to deal with this matter is probably the only way to deal with it. I had to smile reluctantly and not explain it any more.

The next afternoon, I went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to find Ji Saner's sister Ji Wenhui. I haven't seen each other for a year. Unexpectedly, Ji Wenhui became more charming. She, who is already beautiful, has added the ability and generosity of a professional woman. Looking at Ji Wenhui's appearance, I couldn't help but feel moved secretly, and my face turned a little red.

I didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear of making a fool of myself, so I handed over the picture drawn by the bearded man to her and told her to find a way to help me find out the origin of the pattern. I have a great purpose.

I thanked me a few times, turned around and was about to leave, but Ji Minhui held me with a smile: "What? Is it free service?"

I was slightly stunned and replied, "I still want money? Your brother and I are friends!"

She pursed her lips and said, "It's okay to forget about money, but it's not easy to help you study this painting. Don't you think you should reward me?" She said and touched her belly.

I thought to myself: Thank you for your brother saying that you are a nerd, but I didn’t expect you to be quite joking. I hurriedly said, “Ha, of course! How could I treat our talented girl badly! I will definitely invite you to have a good meal when I have time!”

Ji Wenhui pressed the corner of her mouth with her index finger and thought for a while, then said, "Okay! It's better to hit the day than choose a day!"

I reached out and sneaked my wallet that was only 500 yuan, and I secretly complained in my heart. But now that things have come to this point, I can't hide it anymore, so I had to bite the bullet and respond.

I invited Ji Wenhui to have a meal that night, and we had a very scheming chat during the meal. I never expected that the polite and gentle beautiful student had now become more generous and charming.

This meal ate all my living expenses. When I broke up, I looked at the only 20 yuan left in my hand. I was not only filled with Ji Minhui's bright and charming figure, but also worried about how to live in the future. I really experienced what it means to be "half is sea water and half is flame."

The next morning, I lay in bed and struggled with thoughts. I asked Li Jiwen's wife to go to Datong to find out the situation. This matter seems to be nitpicking, but it is actually very important. Maybe I can really find some valuable clues from it. But the dilemma I am facing now is a shortage of funds. Not to mention going to Datong, even food and clothing have become a problem.

I thought for a long time, and after gritting my teeth, I called my father and lied that my studio was not going well and needed capital turnover. I thought my father would scold me, but I didn't expect that my father would unexpectedly support me. My father said, "Son, Dad understands you. The beginning of the business is the most difficult period. It's okay, Dad will support you and will send the money to you later."

After hanging up the phone, I hid in the quilt and cried secretly. My father's generosity made me feel ashamed, not to mention that I had just deceived him. But when I thought that all this was to protect the two elders and say it was noble, I was even making contributions to the entire human race, so I felt much better.
