Bringing up old matters again

  It's getting late, and Mao Mao and Zhang Xuan have already left. Zhang Xuan originally wanted to send me off, but I insisted on not letting her. I still haven't figured out what to do next - whether or not to use my relationship with Mao Mao and Zhang Xuan to get close to Li Tianxiang and complete the task. Moreover, it seems that Zhang Xuan doesn't know what her father is up to, but she's definitely involved somehow. It's highly likely that Zhang Zheng, Zhang Xuan's father, is also a key member of this drug trafficking ring.

  I walked alone on the road, thinking about my next decision. Although I love Chen Xue the most, but now Chen Xue and my relationship has reached a very awkward stage, the probability of us being together is extremely low. Momo's love for me is also clear to me, I couldn't let go of Chen Xue, nor do I want to hurt Momo and make her sad. Maybe I'm really just someone who shouldn't have love.

  I came to the No Return Bar and sat down in front of the bar, Xiaobei was still there happily mixing drinks, the bar inside was still as lively as ever, it seemed like yesterday's events had no impact on this place at all.

  In this chaotic county, smashing and snatching customers is a normal thing, as long as no one dies and nothing big happens, it's basically a default thing, after all, everyone is just trying to make money, and no one wants to risk their own life.

  Xiao Bei handed me a well-mixed cocktail, "Hao Ge! You've got worries on your mind! Yesterday you were all gloomy, and today's the same. What's bothering you? Have a drink, find a chick to sleep with, and it'll be alright! Trust me, nothing will go wrong!"

  I picked up my glass, took a small sip, savored the taste, and felt it was the same as yesterday's. I thought this kid must be probing into my mind, "Xiao Bei! What kind of person do you think I am? Am I that kind of despicable person?! I always feel especially miserable!"

  Xiao Bei smiled, "Although I don't understand you, men like you who are sentimental and have many worries are rare. You just don't know what you want yet, once you figure it out, you won't be so troubled."

  "How long have you been here? You didn't even run away from what happened yesterday, that's rare!"

  "Hao Ge, you're just teasing me. I've been here for two years already and have heard a lot about this kind of thing. But the boss is nice to me, and as a person, one must have integrity. Besides, they are troublemakers, they won't do anything to someone like me who's just a small service staff. Yesterday, if you hadn't intervened, they wouldn't have touched you."

  "Xiao Bei, I'm not you. Sometimes the stronger a person's ability is, the greater his responsibility will be, and the heavier his burden will be. Some things are deeply ingrained in one's bones. I have this ability, so I'm not afraid of trouble. If I didn't have this ability, I would definitely run faster than you. There are some things that even if you don't want to do them, you'll still end up doing because your heart is set on it."

  "Thanks for the advice, Hao!"

  "It's okay, I'm actually quite confused too. I'll leave first, thanks for the drink." I smiled and finished my drink, then handed Xiaobei 200 yuan.

  "Hao Ge, you don't have to pay!"

  "It's okay, I know it's not easy, just consider it a tip. Your wine is great." I gave Xiaobei a thumbs up and turned to leave, following the old path back to the basement.

  "Zhang Hao!" Zhao Kaiqing had already shouted and walked over as soon as I entered the door, walking to my side, putting his arm around my shoulder, and pulling me down to sit on the sofa. "Tell me, quickly tell me, how did you manage to get those two girls? Those two are even more impressive than the other, one of them is Zhang Zheng's biological daughter, the second largest shareholder of Longteng Bath City, Li Tianxiang's goddaughter! You've really hit the jackpot, you're too amazing! Teach me, I still don't have a girlfriend!"

  "Zhao Kaiqing, I'm telling you, if you dare to lay a hand on them, I'll kill you!" I glared at Zhao Kaiqing with malice, and just by looking at him, I knew what kind of person he was. His dream was to go to Japan, and any woman who got involved with him would definitely come to no good end.

  "Hey, don't be like that! Look, we're all brothers who came out together. What you're doing is too unscrupulous. You can't possibly eat both of them up, they have such a good relationship. You wouldn't want to hurt either of them, right? So introduce one to me." Zhao Kaiqing immediately handed me a Zhongnanhai cigarette and helped me light it.

  Looking at this guy, I feel a bit uncomfortable.

  I didn't care about the Zhongnanhai that this guy stuffed into my mouth, I let out a loud "Get out!" Zhao Kaiqing slunk away with his tail between his legs, and the Zhongnanhai that had been stuffed into my mouth also fell to the ground.

  "Zhang Hao, come here for a moment!" Number Seven stood up and called out to me, walking towards an inner compartment. There were many compartments here, which served as our temporary residence. That was Number Seven's room. I ignored the eyes that were looking at me and didn't even acknowledge them.

  Entering No. 7's room, I found that his room was very simple, with a bed, a computer, a table, a chair, and a cabinet. There were no other things except for a pile of red wine bottles on the table. No. 7 took out two clean highball glasses, poured them full, picked up one glass and drank it all in one gulp. I also picked up a glass and drank it all in one gulp, sitting down on No. 7's chair. No. 7 sat down on his own bed.

  "Do you know why my name is Bai Yufen?"

  "I don't know, but it sounds like a woman's name."

  "Bai Yufang is my sister's name, I wasn't originally called Bai Yufang, my real name is Bai Yu, and Bai Yufang is the name I changed to later!"

  I suddenly felt like I didn't have enough brain cells, "Even if you want to change your name, do you have to change it to your sister's name?!"

  "Do you know? My sister is already dead now. If it weren't for me, my sister wouldn't have died, I was the one who killed my sister. In the end, I changed to my sister's name, not that I wanted to commemorate her, but just to remind myself at all times, if I can let another woman have any problems because of me again, I made a vow." Number Seven said, his eyes already starting to redden, and I could clearly feel that he didn't want to bring up this matter, it was a particularly painful thing for him.

  "That year I was a soldier, I was an assault hand in the special forces unit, I had always been with the troops, it was also at that time that my sister fell in love. I can clearly remember how excited she was when she told me about it, she said her boyfriend was the captain of their school's basketball team, very handsome and from a good family, the boy planned to marry her after graduation. At that time, you know? I was so excited that I cried, my sister and I grew up together in an orphanage since we were kids, we had no relatives, my sister is my only relative, we two have been together since childhood, I was really happy for her to find happiness."
