Chapter 4: At the Mercy of Circumstances

"That's enough, don't say anymore!" Heizi opened two bottles of beer, handed one to Wang Chen, and continued, "After you finish this bottle, you can leave! If we happen to meet on the street in the future, let's just pretend we don't know each other! You can rest assured about those two; they are my trusted confidants and will not disclose that you came here today."

Indeed, only women like Chen Xinyi are worthy of my brother. It is no wonder that he looks down on these superficial and ordinary women, haha..." Heizi said, looking at Wang Chen.

Accompanied by the sounds of honking and curses, Wang Chen finally completed the long journey through traffic and arrived at the Shanghai Night Club at 6:10 PM

So it turns out that the gentleman is a guest of Brother Chun. Brother Chun is at 818, let me personally take you there.

May I ask what your friend's name is ... ... '' the waiter continued to ask with a smile

Pushing the door open, Wang Chen glanced ahead. The entire private room was quite large, estimated to be around 150 square meters. Inside, there were thirteen elegantly dressed women, who appeared to be quite young.

"Stop now, there is still time." Wang Chen said seriously as he looked at Heizi.

Once the two individuals left, Heizi pulled Wang Chen onto the sofa. As soon as Wang Chen sat down, three or four alluring women approached him, but he pushed them all away.

As the words fell, Heizi anxiously left the private room, leaving Wang Chen alone, sitting there numbly, holding two bank cards in his hand

In the future, if you are short on money, feel free to ask me anytime. If you have any issues, I will be the first to step up. In City S, I will not allow anyone to bully you! Among the few of us left in City S, it is just you and me now. I have already walked this path, and now I hope you can take care of yourself. In the future... it would be good to have someone who can take care of my remains!

I? This is how I am now. I suppose you can guess what I am up to, right?" Heizi drained his anger in one gulp and smiled at Wang Chen.

After those women left, Heizi said to Wang Chen: "Chenzi, I know you will definitely try to persuade me, but it's already beyond my control. The truth of this matter is such that once you enter, you can never get out! Perhaps there will be a day when one can leave, but that day... will be the day I die"

With the arrival of Wang Chen, the playful atmosphere in the private room came to a halt. Hei Zi stood up from the sofa and walked step by step to Wang Chen's side, smiling as he patted Wang Chen's shoulder, saying: "Not bad, it seems you haven't been worn out these past two years; you are even sturdier than before"

Entering the elevator, Wang Chen pressed the button for the 8th floor and let out a sigh. He was not foolish; judging by the change in expression of the front desk attendant upon hearing the name Zhang Yichun, Hei Zi... was no longer the Hei Zi of the past

As the words fell, Heizi's expression froze, and he said to those women: "You may leave first."

No need, I will go up myself. Wang Chen raised his hand in refusal and walked towards the elevator

The previous Hezi had a crew cut, but the current hairstyle of Hezi is something Wang Chen really cannot name. However, compared to two years ago, Hezi now bears several scars on his body

At this point, Heizi turned to the two men and said: "Let me introduce you, these are my old brothers, you can just call him Brother Chen! I haven't seen my brother in two years, so you two should step out for a moment!"

At this point, Heizi took out two bank cards and handed them to Wang Chen, saying: "These two cards contain a total of eight million. Keep one for yourself as my wedding gift to you in the future, and the other one, please help me keep it. If one day I... you help me give it to my mother. In this matter, you are the only one I can trust."

Hello, sir, may I ask if you have a reservation?" The receptionist asked Wang Chen with a professional smile

He is a very down-to-earth person, not very articulate, yet he expresses his meaning very clearly. He can let Wang Chen know everything about him, but he does not allow Wang Chen to enter this murky water with him

Time can change everything! Wang Chen shook his head as the elevator doors opened.

"I can just sit like this," Wang Chen said, furrowing his brow.

"It is important to know what to pursue and what to refrain from. You are still so young; how can you be doing this properly?" Wang Chen asked.

"You can back out, I can help you, as long as you stop now." Wang Chen did not inquire about what Hei Zi was doing, because he knew he could not listen; once he did... it would mean he was in it too.

"What’s wrong, brother? Are you still shy? This place is meant for fun; everyone is here to enjoy themselves. Once we leave here, who will still know each other? Let loose and have some fun!" Heizi said with a smile.

Wang Chen took the beer, took a sip, and said: "Don't ask about my matters, let's talk about you instead."

Ding ding ding! ... ... Before Heizi could finish his words, his phone rang. He took out his phone and, upon opening it, his expression changed. He said to Wang Chen, "Chenzi, I have something to attend to, so I will leave first. You can enjoy yourself here; I have already settled the bill."

Wang Chen approached the private room, and before entering, he heard the sound of many women's giggles coming from inside

By the way, Chenzi, why didn't you go to school two years ago? If you had gone to school, you and Chen Xinyi would probably have been together by now, right? Also, what have you been up to these past two years? You need to have a good talk with me, brother. " Heizi opened two bottles of beer and handed one to Wang Chen.

There is no way around it; although money is not a good thing, without it... anyone can bully you. Do you still remember my girlfriend from high school? After graduation, she broke up with me and then got together with a bald man, the reason being that I had no money. Before entering society, I always thought about stepping into the real world, but only after doing so did I understand what reality truly is

I have known, from the very first day I entered, that one foot is in the underworld and the other in prison! Chenzi, I have always regarded you as a brother, which is why I brought you to this place, to let you know what I am doing now

"Alright, Brother Chun." The two men stood up and walked towards the exit of the private room. When they passed by Wang Chen, they paused for a moment and said, "Brother Chen... we will be leaving first"

Heizi shoved the bank card into Wang Chen's hand and then said, "You have met Chen Xinyi, how was it? Don't you want to..."

Wang Chen smiled but did not speak

This person is really annoying, it's like making dumplings, it gets congested like this at this time every day

The vehicles ahead come one after another, with no end in sight, and the same is true for those behind, resembling a long dragon.

"You have no future like this," Heizi's words were fully understood by Wang Chen

Having parked the car, Wang Chen walked into the lobby on the first floor and approached the front desk

Forget it, I will persuade him again the next time we meet, and then return the bank card to him. Wang Chen put away the bank card and left after drinking a few bottles of beer

Wang Chen sat in the car, surrounded by the sounds of honking and the curses of drivers. City S is a rapidly developing city; while urban development is a positive thing, it also brings disadvantages. Traffic congestion is one of the prominent features of a developing city

"Heizi, oh no, Zhang Yichun," Wang Chen corrected himself

In addition to these women, there are three men, two of whom Wang Chen does not know, and the remaining one is Hei Zi

Room 818 is a private box on the 8th floor, and those who can come to the 8th floor are generally individuals of status. Over the course of two years, a great deal has truly changed

"Good." Wang Chen nodded, his expression showing no change.

Didi! ... ...

After Heizi finished speaking, he downed three bottles of beer in one go

What the heck, are you in such a hurry? Is there no traffic jam ahead of you? Are you in such a rush to reincarnate?

I am here to find a friend, Wang Chen said

He knows what kind of place this is; although he has never been here before, he has not only never eaten pork but has also seen pigs run.
