envy jealousy

  When I returned to the bar, it was already four o'clock. I washed up hastily and went to sleep, sleeping until seven in the morning. I left wearing a tracksuit. I still remember that old man in the park, that inscrutable old man.

  The morning air is as refreshing as ever, and the morning sun rises in the same way.

  Looking at the crowds of people preparing for work and children heading to school, I think this society is still relatively harmonious.

  Although many unpleasant things have happened, there are underworld gangs, drug dealers and arms traffickers, but overall, these things cannot organize the development of society.

  I saw the old man in the park, still practicing Tai Chi at that spot, looking as spirited as ever.

  The old man saw me walking over and nodded at me, indicating for me to follow him. We made contact there for about an hour or so. The old man was probably getting a bit tired from practicing Tai Chi, so the two of us stopped and sat down on a nearby chair to chat.

  "Hey young man, how does it feel? Are you getting used to this thing?" The old man laughed.

  "It's okay, I guess! It's just that it's different from what I learned before, and no matter how hard I try, I still can't get used to the feeling of practicing Tai Chi with a steel fist. I'm still not accustomed to this softer style."

  "That's for sure, soft fist and steel fist are two extremes. The way Chinese people deal with the world is like this soft fist, while the way Americans do it is like this steel fist. But neither of them can stand alone, they need to be balanced in pursuit of harmony, otherwise who can tell which one is better?" said the old man.

  "I don't like the way Chinese people handle things, I'm a straightforward person, if I see something that's not right, I'll intervene!"

  "So you go kill people at night!" The old man laughed and said.

  I was suddenly stunned in my heart, how did this guy know that I went to kill someone yesterday? If not, wouldn't this old man be one of the two gangs from last night? I cautiously looked at the old man.

  The old man seemed to have seen through my thoughts, "You don't need to be so tense, people who have killed others have a bloody smell on their bodies and a murderous aura. And last night's big incident in the suburbs even got the police involved. In this county of Hua, no matter how big or small the event is, there will always be someone spreading the news around. The snakes are all over the place in Hua County, it's easy to find out about things. And your body emits a murderous aura and bloody smell, making it easy for people to connect you two together."

  "So you're going to betray me?"

  "This is not my problem, I'm not supposed to handle everything. If I did, what would these police be doing? A small county like Huaxian can't even be managed properly, it's only because of their incompetence. There are so many people on the right path, but none of them are useful. Although Luo Qiang has already integrated most things on the surface, there are too many things going on behind his back that he can't just clean up as he wishes. As for you, if you don't learn to conceal your killing aura, your future days won't be easy."

  I thought about it and the old man's words made sense, I should learn how to conceal my killing intent. "Then what do you think is needed to completely conceal one's killing intent?"

  "Buddhism and Taoism are both okay, but as a Chinese person, I think it's better for you to practice more Taoism. Take a look at the Tao Te Ching, practice some Tai Chi, although it can't completely cover up your problems, it still has some use." The old man explained patiently on the side.

  "Alright! I've basically learned enough, I'll practice more often. I have something to attend to out of town recently, and when I get back, I'll definitely come visit you again. See you later!" After saying that, I stood up and left.

  The old man said behind me, "Do what you want to do, restrain a bit of your killing intent, it's good for you."

  "Thank you!"

  I casually found a breakfast shop and ate something, then packed a few buns and soy milk, after which I returned to my room.

  It's already 8 o'clock, and Mao is still sleeping. I woke up Mao as usual, and we did some radio exercises in the room together, but this time the rhythm was a bit intense, it's better not to say.

  I roughly told Momo, anyway, it's only two months, nothing big deal. Momo also expressed understanding, because we have to be apart for two months, Momo pulled me to do a radio exercise again.

  This thing is indeed comfortable to do, but it's also very tiring. I took a short rest. I hailed a taxi and went to our security company. To be honest, this company is just a front for us, basically all the operations are done by them, I've never come to work before, today is my first day on the job.

  The company is renting a storefront on a commercial street, with two floors, each about 100 square meters in size. The first floor is a simple hall and the second floor is the main office area. Since our tasks are mostly high-end bodyguard missions, there's no need to rent too large of a space, and we don't need that many people here either.

  The company has a special bulletin board that displays protection work of different price levels. After the customer arrives, they only need to tell the service staff about the task they want to entrust, and the service staff will make a quote according to the level. Then, the company will allocate it according to the level of the bodyguard and the task level. My task is fixed, so I saved a lot of trouble. I took my work card and found the service staff directly.

  The girls here are particularly beautiful, I don't know where they found them. The security guard standing at the door is also very domineering, but for me, even if he's domineering, I can make him become timid.

  The bodyguard's work card is a titanium steel military ID card, which only needs to be held on the sensor next to it and my information will appear on the computer.

  That girl saw my dog tag and her eyes lit up, excitedly brushed it once, then blushed and handed the dog tag back to me.

  Then he handed me a stack of materials and said, "Sir, your information has been confirmed. Please go to the customer according to the address on the material. If you have any other questions, you can find me at any time."

  "Thank you!" I roughly looked at the materials, it said very clearly, I signed the agreement, and then left with my task materials.

  My client is in the provincial capital, and the protection target is a girl from YN University. Her father is a wealthy businessman, which makes me wonder how there are so many rich people these days, and how can a hardworking young man like me survive?

  I first took a train to Kunming and then took a taxi to the villa area, where I found the rich man's home.

  These people have been contacted before and there's nothing good to say, it's just that this villa area is really a place where rich people live. If I'm a criminal, who else would I bother if not him?
