my old life

Chapter 2545

When I woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, the sky outside the window had already darkened, and countless neon lights lit up the night.

I lit a refreshing cigarette habitually, my whole mind was groggy, and I felt like I was about to explode.

"Mr. Ming, are you awake?"

"Huh?" I looked up and saw that it was Li Xiaorou, I didn't see her when I came back in the morning, I don't know where she came from.

"Why are you here? Is there no one at the door?" I asked curiously, and I remembered that Mike said to ask John to protect my safety.

"There are always people at the door. Mr. Mike came in the afternoon and told you to wake up and go find him."

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Mr. Mike won't let me call you..."

"Understood." I smoked slowly, not knowing what kind of plane Mike was going to do, or what routine he was going to do.

After I see through his cooperation with Whale Shark, he should not focus on underground casinos, but should focus on KING and Weilian.

But Mike will never tell me clearly that if he wants to betray Cruz, he must ensure the absolute safety of the news, and he will not take any risks!

A cigarette burns out, and I wash my face and go to Mike, my mind buzzing.

As soon as I went out, I saw John. I didn't expect him to guard here in person, but now it seems a little unnecessary.

Whale Shark won't take the risk to kill me, he has a cooperation with Mike, KING and those people with strange faces will not come to trouble me...

It can be said that I have no enemies at all in Midtown, because I have no grudges with anyone, let alone any festivals.

Met Mike in the hotel restaurant, the Western-style dinner looked very stylish, but there were only a few people at a table.

"Hawkeye, this way." Jennifer was the first to spot me with sharp eyes, and immediately beckoned me over.

"Sorry, I've been asleep for a while."

"It's okay, let's sit down and have dinner together." Mike waved his hand actively, with a very calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

"Okay." I don't know what Mike is doing, but I know there must be a trick waiting for me!
"Hawkeye, did you see a whale shark last night?" Jennifer deliberately asked in front of Mike, and I knew it was 'after the fall'.

In fact, what Mike meant was very clear. He just wanted to verify whether there was a flaw in the plan, so I had to be careful.

"It should be seen, but I'm not sure if it's him." I said something ambiguous, after all, I can't be sure that it is a whale shark.

I'm just judging from what everyone calls the whale shark and Mr. Hou's attitude. It's really hard to say anything else.

"What are the characteristics of the whale shark you saw?" Mike asked calmly, which seemed to have deep meaning!

"The voice sounded like a woman's. No lacerations were seen on the arm. I don't know if it's real or fake."

I explained that while I hadn't seen a whale shark, the dumb guy had seen him at the Evergreen Casino!

When I have time, I will check with the mute, as long as I describe the same appearance and appearance, I will get the answer immediately after comparing them!

"It should be true, he is very good at disguising himself." Mike said suddenly, he was trying to smooth things over for himself.

Before that, Mike said that the whale shark's arm had lacerations, but I didn't see any scars, and it was impossible for any cover-up to be completely invisible.

Unless the whale shark opted for a skin graft, which is highly unlikely, or he used human skin to cover the scar.

"Hawkeye, what did the whale shark tell you?" Jennifer asked curiously, which obviously seemed like a step.

I talked to Mike on the phone last night after I was caught, and I 'unswervingly' reminded Mike to be careful that I didn't betray him.

"Actually, I didn't say anything. I feel that he is not an ordinary person."

"Did you say nothing? Impossible?" Jennifer obviously didn't believe it. She seemed to be deliberately leading the topic to a certain direction.

I showed a fearless character last night, so mentioning it now is putting money on my face?Or is there some other purpose?

"He wanted me to lure Mike into the trap, and I didn't do that." I said it firmly, and that's how I behaved at the time.

If I had chosen to betray Mike, everything would have changed now, and I'm afraid I would have died long ago...

As the saying goes, the most unexpected is often the most unexpected. Before that, I never dreamed that Mike would join hands with the whale shark...

"Good job!" Jennifer patted me on the shoulder. Mike and I were talking on the phone at the time, and he knew it clearly.

"Nothing, what should be done." I said something calmly, without showing any emotion.

They had already vaccinated me last night, I was caught because I was 'inferior' and ruined Mike's plan... I remember all this!

"Hawkeye, I made you suffer!" Mike looked at me meaningfully, and I smiled and waved my hand to indicate that it was nothing.

"Sometimes I may disappoint my friends, but I will never betray my friends." I said lightly, and the atmosphere fell silent instantly.

"Hurry up and eat, Mike has been waiting for you for a long time, and the hot meal is about to turn into a cold meal!" Jennifer greeted me, which surprised me.

"Oh?" I glanced in surprise, and found that everyone hadn't moved, as if they were waiting for me specially.

Will Mike wait for me to have dinner?What kind of trick is this?Is it a few red dates after the big stick?
"Mike has been waiting for you. Don't you pay attention to having dinner together?" Jennifer explained, which really made people unable to find fault.

The custom in oriental culture is that everyone eats together, and everyone moves their chopsticks first when the elders are due. It is a sign of disrespect to start the meal early.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting." I said some polite words and greeted Jones and the others to have dinner together.

"Eat more, let's relax together at night!" Jennifer poked me aggressively, and her attitude changed completely.

Last night she came aggressively to 'excuse the teacher', but today it turned into waiting for me to have dinner and go to relax?
In the past, my second uncle often said that the most powerful routine is that there is no routine, and the twists and turns of the routine are the most puzzling...

But now I have an excellent reason for refusing, that is Ye Lingyun and Crazy Horse, they are all people who were arrested with me.

"Jennifer, I won't relax tonight, I have more important things to do."

"Oh? What else do you need?"

"The brothers who went with me last night, I want to entertain them tonight, and I can't make them feel left out."

I am embarrassed to explain that this is an excuse to win people's hearts, and it is an indispensable part of leading people to do things.

"Let's take it together, what's the point?" Jennifer asked inexplicably, and I immediately smiled helplessly.

"It's not very convenient. Those people are used to talking and doing things rudely, and their arrogant personality is a headache."

I found a reasonable excuse. Mike definitely doesn't want to deal with those who are of the same rank and low, it will damage his identity and image.

In fact, in Jianghu, everyone is inseparable from the lowest-level gangsters. They need heads to watch the scene and do business, but the big bosses generally don't lead people in person.

Just like there is Hou Sanye by Whale Shark's side, you can't do everything yourself, someone must come forward to share it.

This is why many bigwigs in the business world will take care of some Jianghu people, and when they need to hire someone, they can get it done with a phone call.

"Then go and entertain your friends tonight, all expenses will be charged to me...give the bill to Jennifer then."

"Thanks!"

After dinner, I summoned Ye Lingyun and the others to the room. They all looked like they had just woken up, and Hongying could hardly see her eyes!

"There was a little accident last night, let's go relax tonight, let's play whatever we want...don't save me money!"

I made a joke on purpose, not because of Mike's bills, this is one of the means to win people's hearts.

"Sanming, are you on the verge of bleeding?" Ye Lingyun teased, and I thought that those who should buy it must buy it.

"Sounds good, I'm going to play Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea tonight!" Crazy Horse was the first to say, this is the first time I've heard of this trick.

"Eight Immortals? Can you bear it?" Pumpkin joked immediately, but his eyes were also full of anticipation.

"Boss Ming treats guests, don't you care about me?" Crazy Horse choked, singing and putting eye drops on me.

"Hahahaha! Let's go! Let the Eight Immortals cross the sea tonight!"
