Chapter 8: The Literary Tycoon

You may leave now," Wenjing said淡淡道.

"Eh... why are there no weapons?" Wenjing, covering her nose, turned around the house and, seeing only a few kitchen knives, couldn't help but ask.

The car window slowly closed, and that cold, stern face gradually disappeared. Those deep-set eyes were fixed on Wang Chun from beginning to end

Indeed, he is a young man with ambition! Looking at this den of thieves, Wang Chun secretly sighed

Is that true? Wenjing was taken aback, lowered her head in thought, and said with a face full of shame: It really is like that

Why are you afraid of your family finding out? Shi Xiaobao inserted Wang Chun's SIM card and began assembling the phone, his movements extremely skillful. If one were unaware of his identity, they might think he was an expert from Apple.

Three people saw, under the streetlight at the alley entrance, a shiny black sedan parked. The car, under the dim streetlight, exuded a dazzling brilliance, and on either side of the sedan stood two strong men in suits and sunglasses, motionless, like mountains. The two felt an inexplicable pressure.

Wenjing, I want to see your father!" Wang Chun said, enunciating each word clearly.

The car door closed, and a man in a suit took a seat in the passenger seat, while another man in a suit walked towards the back. It was then that Wang Chun noticed that not far behind the car, there was a massive black Ford SUV parked. The wild body of the SUV exuded an inexplicable sense of pressure.

After Shi Xiaobao became the apprentice of the old man, the old man's life underwent a transformation. This is because Shi Xiaobao is a natural thief, and in just two years, he has surpassed his mentor. He quickly became adept at petty thefts and soon established a foothold in City C. Although he set some unreasonable rules for himself, he had no problem making ends meet.

"Brother Bao, a good dog does not block the road!" Seeing Shi Xiaobao's silly and adorable expression, Wang Chuan felt as if he could die from embarrassment; this face was truly a disgrace. Of course, Wang Chuan was also very eager to see the legendary Rolls-Royce emblem

Indeed. On Wenjing's face, a rare expression of appreciation emerged. Wenjing understood that thieves who carry weapons often easily transition from being mere thieves to robbers during their crimes. Therefore, a thief who can persist in not carrying weapons is truly a good thief

The recipe for that medicinal wine is the only inheritance left to me by my master. Suddenly, Shi Xiaobao, who was focused on disassembling the phone, raised his head and glanced at that bottle of medicinal wine, his gaze filled with deep emotion

"Xiao Bao, are you capable of achieving something?" Wang Chunqi said in exasperation.

Hahaha, Wang Chuan, I really like your straightforward personality. Back then, when you and Xiao Bao beat me up so badly that I was bruised and battered, I accepted it.

Bang

Wang Chunang strode confidently and with great righteousness to the side of the small cart

What is this? Medicinal wine? Wang Chun saw a glass bottle on the small square table, containing a mixture of various medicinal herbs, among which was a silver-ringed snake.

Haha, I know more than you do. By the way, I am about to leave City C. I originally planned to bid you farewell after the celebration for Wang Chundie's award today, but it seems I will have to wait a couple more days and help you resolve that troublesome matter before I go

If fate allows, we will meet again in the future. Alright, you may go back now

So... what should we do?

When Shi Xiaobao was seven years old, he wandered the streets, stealing chickens and dogs, suffering from irregular meals, hunger, and cold. Later, he was taken in by a solitary elderly man.

The elderly man who took in Shi Xiaobao is a thief, having spent most of his life in prison

I apologize, I apologize... Hehe... It turns out that Wen Tuhao is not just boasting... Hehe..." Shi Xiaobao quickly stepped aside, looking at the inside of the car with a flattering expression.

Wang Chun comes from a single-parent family. Although his mother is indifferent to him, at least he has never had to worry about his daily meals during his childhood

Ancestral trauma-relief liquor? Wenjing's face revealed a hint of seriousness

However ... ...

He is dead. Shi Xiaobao shook his head and focused intently on disassembling the Apple phone. From his expression, it was evident that he was unwilling to mention his master, as depicted in the book.

"What the hell is wrong with everyone? Stop acting like a bunch of nagging women. If you're leaving, just leave. What's the big deal? Everyone has a phone now. If there's something going on, a single call will suffice. This gloomy atmosphere is the thing I hate the most," Wang Chuan scolded.

Let us go drink! Wenjing said

... ...

"Haha, Wenge, we have known each other for almost two years, and this is the first time you have taken the initiative to offer to pay the bill," Shi Xiaobao teased.

Why not leave

"I am a gentleman of the梁上, not a robber. What I engage in is a technical skill, and there is no need for weapons," Shi Xiaobao said proudly

... ... ''

The rear window of the car suddenly slid down silently, revealing the face of a middle-aged man. It was a thin and clean face, somewhat reminiscent of Wenjing, but the only difference was that the expression was not the calm demeanor of Wenjing; instead, it was cold and serious, with eyes that were profoundly deep, like the vast starry sky—an icy starry sky.

Wen Jing seemed unwilling to linger in this foul-smelling rental apartment, eagerly leading the way out.

The two burly men in suits and sunglasses stood still like lifeless sculptures

By the way, will that girl be able to track me through my phone? Although Wang Chun is completely clueless about high-tech products, he still has a slight understanding of these basic concepts

"Wen Jing, the terrain in this area is quite complex..." Shi Xiaobao said in a lowered voice

Wang Chuan

Forget it, I, the wise and mighty one, shall not stoop to your level.

Wearing sunglasses in the dead of night appears exceedingly strange

Ah ... ...

Wen Jing's family background is unclear; however, when Wang Chun met Wen Jing, her financial situation was already quite good. From the tone of her usual speech, it can be inferred that she likely has a large family and comes from a well-off background

No problem, today I will treat you to a lavish meal

You cannot stop me! Wang Chun took large strides towards the shiny little car at the end of the alley

Rest assured, my foolish brother, the current generation of girls, aside from playing on their phones and engaging in social media like WeChat, generally lacks the skills for more sophisticated activities. Moreover, even if you were caught by the police, you could simply claim that the items were stolen goods you purchased, and at most, they would just confiscate your phone

It is not a decision, but rather a lack of choice. Many matters, when they cannot be avoided, must be faced with courage. Since my father has found me, I will face it calmly.

Wang Chuan, Wang Chuan, come quickly to see, Rolls-Royce, it's a Rolls-Royce... Just as Wang Chuan felt utterly perplexed, suddenly, the excited and incoherent voice of Shi Xiaobao came through.

"It's nothing, today I will treat you all," Wenjing said with a smile

Although Shi Xiaobao refers to the old man as his master, in reality, the old man's skills are quite poor. Out of ten attempts, he gets caught seven times and often ends up with a bruised face. If it were not for his advanced age and frail health, he would have long been thrown into prison to spend the rest of his life there

I am sorry, but I can no longer join you for drinks. Wenjing said with a wry smile.

Wang Chun turned his gaze in the direction of the sound and was instantly petrified. He saw Shi Xiaobao leaning on the front of the car, staring obsessively at the car's emblem, while his hands carefully caressed the gleaming goddess emblem.

"Do you really think so?" Wenjing tilted her head and looked at Wang Chun

My father. Wenjing shook her head at Wang Chun, signaling him not to act rashly

"Yes, medicinal wine." Shi Xiaobao cleared a space on the coffee table and began to disassemble the Apple phone

Your master ... ...

Indeed, let us go for drinks. Wenjing is leaving, and today my friends and I will not return until we are intoxicated! However, I must say this upfront: I am completely broke and have no money to pay the bill

It does not matter whether we meet or not, however, there are some words that must be expressed! Uncle, I am Wang Chun, and I am a good friend of Wenjing. Although we have only known each other for two years, we have been very happy and joyful together. If you are Wenjing's father, and if you love her, you should let her be happy and joyful! Uncle, I am a rough person and do not know how to speak well, please forgive me, I have finished what I wanted to say

Among the three, only Shi Xiaobao is an orphan in relation to the books

Wang Chun stared unrelentingly at the pitch-black car window, feeling as though a pair of eyes inside the window was watching him

A prolonged silence.

I have been here for more than two years, and I estimate that my family will soon find their way here as well. Wenjing's face remains calm and unperturbed

Shi Xiaobao embraced Wenjing tightly

"How do you know?" Shi Xiaobao suddenly stood up, his face filled with shock

Almost simultaneously, Wang Chuan and Shi Xiaobao also came to a halt.

Sigh... I really can't understand you, sometimes so upright and sometimes so sly... As for Manager Chen, I don't know what misdeeds he committed in his past life to have offended you.

"Have you decided to go home?" Wang Chun asked with a serious expression

Uncle Wen, I have something to say! Wang Chun could not see inside the car, but his intuition told him that there was someone sitting in the back seat of the small car

Your enemy? Wang Chun slightly leaned against the corner, where there was a brick at the bottom of the wall. As long as he crouched down, he could immediately take it in his hand. All along, Wang Chun had despised unarmed combat.

Let us go, let us go, do not waste any more time, today we shall not return until we are intoxicated

No wonder the car did not move; it turns out that Shi Xiaobao was blocking the way.

Bang

"Being beaten?" Wenjing sighed.

Hey, what do you mean by saying that Xiao Bao and I beat you up? It was clearly just me who gave both of you a good thrashing, alright

Meanwhile, Shi Xiaobao was also looking at Wang Chun with a malicious expression

Yes... the recipe left to me by my master..." A hint of disappointment appeared on Shi Xiaobao's face

Wen Jing originally wanted to break free, but soon gave up. No one understands Shi Xiaobao better than Wen Jing. Although Shi Xiaobao is not good at fighting, he has a particularly impressive move when it comes to brawling. Once he grabs someone, they cannot escape, even if they beat him half to death. At that time, when Shi Xiaobao was caught stealing Wen Jing's phone, the two ended up fighting, and Wang Chun took advantage of the situation to give them both a good beating. The main library also benefited from Shi Xiaobao entangling Wen Jing.

It seems that you do not drink white liquor

The three individuals left Shi Xiaobao's rental apartment and walked towards the alley. Just as they were nearing the alley, suddenly, Wenjing stopped in her tracks

"Get in the car." The middle-aged man glanced at Wang Chun, his gaze landing on Wen Jing. At the same time, the other car door was opened by a man in a suit and sunglasses

"Your father ... ... " Wang Chundun was instantly taken aback.

Wang Chun and Wen Jing exchanged glances, fully aware that Shi Xiaobao had a low tolerance for alcohol; just a little beer would make him dizzy, and he essentially abstained from any liquor.

Ah... why do you have to leave so well?" Wang Chun was taken aback

Wang Chun instinctively took a step back, preparing to flee at any moment.

Sigh, words cannot express... On Wenjing's fair and delicate face, a trace of lingering sadness appeared

Wen Jing remained silent, moved to the other side, nodded at Wang Chun and Shi Xiaobao, and quietly got into the car

"My father will not meet you," Wenjing, who followed Wang Chun, said with a bitter smile

A silence fell over the room

Wen Jing, you seem to understand a lot... Wang Chun discovered that he was increasingly unable to see through Wen Jing as a person

is not

This wine..." Shi Xiaobao's face revealed a look of hesitation

Indeed. Wang Chun can rest assured as he lowers his head to open his phone

It is useless

What puzzled Wang Chunqi was that after Wenjing got into the car, both the windows and doors were closed, yet the car did not move and remained quietly parked at the entrance of the alley

"Foolish Brother, the tool for picking up girls is ready!" Shi Xiaobao handed his Apple phone to Wang Chun.

Ah... no!" Wenjing immediately refused

I have something to say to your father" Wang Chun glanced at Shi Xiaobao and said, "Hold him!"

According to rumors in the martial arts world, some petty thieves leave behind ancient and mysterious prescriptions, which are remarkably effective for treating injuries. Since you regard this prescription as the only legacy left to you by your master, it must be extremely valuable. Wen Jing's expression was one of calm indifference

A suffocating atmosphere permeated the dimly lit alleyway
