Chapter 5 The Self-Deceiving Liar

When Lin Xiaodong returned home, Lin Xiamian, who was temporarily ordered to go home to reflect, was already waiting for him in the living room.

The young man stood at the door and stared at him for a while.

Lin Xiamian's eyes slowly turned red.

"Brother, don't do this," he said with tears, "I know I'm wrong! Hit me..."

But Lin Xiaodong didn't get mad at him as Lin Xiamian expected.

Instead, the young man squatted down in front of him and gently touched his head.

"Tell me," Lin Xiaodong asked calmly. After all, you need to be patient with fools, "Why are you short of money?"

Lin Xiamian's tears couldn't hold back in an instant.

He hugged the young man's waist tightly and buried his head in Lin Xiaodong's chest, as if someone who was dying of thirst in the desert had discovered an oasis. He said incoherently: "I'm sorry, brother, I, I just want to help you relieve some of the burden. Last time you didn't tell me anything. I was really scared at school alone, and I always thought about it..."

In a place that Lin Xiamian didn't notice, Lin Xiaodong lowered his eyes and stared at the swirl of hair on the top of the boy's head, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

"I just said how could this kid agree to live on campus so readily," he was still in the mood to chat with the system, "It turns out that a pit was set up here to wait for me."

System: ...So you call it "sweet" when you cry, make trouble, and hang yourself?

Back then, Lin Xiamian almost lifted the roof!

"So he did it on purpose?" The system then reacted, "Just to stay away from the school?"

"Not staying at school is just a means. It is Lin Xiamian's goal to tie me to him forever," Lin Xiaodong said in a slow manner. "Now I finally understand why he doesn't care about my identity as a gangster."

"why?"

Lin Xiaodong smiled happily: "Of course it's because my dear brother doesn't want me to have a normal social life at all."

system:"…………"

Although it is only a high-level artificial intelligence composed of a group of programs, but from the truth behind this sentence, I feel a little bit of icy chill.

When it was silent, Lin Xiaodong was still dutifully playing his good brother.

He whispered to Lin Xiamian, "But you are already in the third year of high school, and you are so nervous about studying. Why do you want to give up the basics? Besides, it's not good for you to go to work. You have to go to Wanxiao. Don't you know where it is?"

"I know," Lin Xiamian sniffed, "but I only have time at night, and the salary for Wanxiao is relatively high."

Lin Xiaodong: "No, a club of Wanxiao's level doesn't recruit at all, and most people have no way to get in. Where do you, a high school student still in school, come from?"

Lin Xiamian said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhao told me that he knew Wanxiao's manager and he could let me work there. When there were few guests, I could do my homework in the box, and the salary would be paid on a daily basis. "

Lin Xiaodong frowned: "Is that Mr. Zhao from your competition team?"

Lin Xiamian nodded silently.

No, Lin Xiaodong thought, he must have overlooked something.

The young man pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Have you met these people in Wanxiao?" He immediately took out his mobile phone and showed Lin Xiamian the photos of Qi Jianghe and Qi Huaishui, "Did they have your teacher Zhao or Wanxiao's manager? Have you spoken?"

Lin Xiamian shook his head.

"However, our manager has a friend who is always with us. On the first day he went to Wanxiao, he had a few words with Teacher Zhao," Lin Xiamian tried to recall, "I remember that his name seems to be... Zheng Li."

Lin Xiaodong showed an "as expected" look on his face.

Very well, he thought, now all the threads are connected.

Zheng Li is Qi Jianghe's horse boy. He works for the Qi family. It is estimated that he hired someone to do the bald-headed brothers. He couldn't find Lin Xiaodong's weakness, so he took revenge on Lin Xiamian.

He sighed and said to Lin Xiamian: "Lin Xiamian, you swear to me that from now on, you will never step into that ghost place again. Go back to school and go to your evening self-study, and I will take care of the rest. ."

When Lin Xiamian heard that he still didn't let him out of the dormitory, his face immediately turned ugly.

"Brother, I..."

"Stop talking," Lin Xiaodong "gently" wiped away the tears on his cheeks, but there was a dangerous warning in his eyes, "Xia Mian, you are a good and obedient brother, right?"

Lin Xiamian shivered for some reason.

He swallowed his saliva and nodded silently, not daring to speak any more.

But there was one more thing Lin Xiaodong didn't tell Lin Xiamian: since Zheng Li had set up a trap, he would definitely not let him get out so easily.

At that time, it must be himself who will pay the price for him.

Until then, the system finally realized that something was wrong: "Why do I think you are not a good person, but more like a brother-in-law who has taken the script of suffering and will never return on the road of self-giving?"

Lin Xiaodong: "Ah, did you find out?"

System: ... There is a big problem.

Lin Xiaodong is still pretending to be stupid: "You hate it, people are really kind, don't talk nonsense."

System: "Ouch."

To this end, Lin Xiaodong also thoughtfully helped the system read two precautions for pregnant women during pregnancy, and successfully shut down the system with anger.

Satisfied, he went to bed and closed his eyes to sleep.

There is a tough battle to be fought tomorrow.

*

The next day, he personally sent Lin Xiamian to school.

After pressing the boy to repeatedly apologize to the dean, Lin Xiaodong came to Wanxiao's site alone.

...and was stopped by the unselfish security guard.

"I'm looking for your manager," Lin Xiaodong said sternly, "I'm looking for him on business, I really didn't come to make trouble... Hey, hey, brother, don't grab my collar, I'm not a gangster!"

But look at his left blue dragon and right white tiger (although they are all fake tattoo stickers), as well as a wild and unruly yellow-green hair with a post-modern art style, and the T-shirt herringbone of a very spirited guy on his body. Dressing up, the security guard sneered, didn't listen to his explanation at all, and called someone directly on the walkie-talkie.

"Don't look down on others, not necessarily all gangsters wearing flip-flops, and landlords!"

Lin Xiaodong shouted loudly.

"Oh, how many buildings do you have?" the security guard asked him squintingly.

Lin Xiaodong held back for a long time, his face was red and he couldn't lie in front of so many people.

He felt that his skills in establishing a person must not be advanced enough, so he changed a more lyrical way.

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young poor..."

System: "Dear, you switched channels."

After some twists and turns, Lin Xiaodong finally managed to meet Wanxiao's manager.

The manager's surname is Hu, a man in his thirties, with a slightly fat body, and his smiling appearance makes people like him.

But Lin Xiaodong was on guard at the first sight of him—

This person's whole body, almost every pore is written with the five characters "I am a smiling tiger".

"You are Lin Xiamian's brother?"

Manager Hu didn't look down on him, he just took out a contract from the drawer in the office with a smile, "I understand your desire to protect your brother, but look, Lin Xiamian turned 18 in July this year. , the contract is written in black and white, and he also signed it voluntarily, so it is reasonable to say that the person who should sue him is us."

Lin Xiaodong quickly glanced at the contract.

When they got registered, their cheap mother changed Lin Xiamian's age by one year in order to let Lin Xiamian go to school earlier.

But as this manager Hu said, the law only recognizes the age on the ID card.

"Whether my brother is an adult or not, he is still a student in high school," Lin Xiaodong twitched the corners of his mouth and tore the contract to shreds in front of him, "It's not good for anyone to make a big deal of this. Manager Hu, tell Zheng Li that the grandson will come directly to me next time, don't make those yin people, understand?"

Manager Hu applauded his courage twice: "Okay, Lin Xiaodong, have courage."

He glanced at the scraps of paper on the table and said with a smile: "Since you have said so, then I am not someone who doesn't talk about morality. Let me tell you frankly, your brother is very lofty, and he just called a few days ago. Broken a bottle of wine worth 80,000 yuan, and almost caused trouble for refusing to accompany the guests to drink, the reason why I can stay here comfortably with us during this period is all thanks to the help of a noble person."

"Your Majesty?"

He blurted out, "Could it be Gu Xi?"

Manager Hu gave him a surprised look: "You know?"

Lin Xiaodong: "...how is the criminal law of our country sentenced?"

Lin Xiamian is only seventeen years old!

He is an adult! What's coming at him!

The system is silent.

It knew that he should not remind Lin Xiaodong that the man he saw at the gate of Wanxiao was Gu Xi's.

Manager Hu hurriedly said, "Don't get excited yet. President Gu didn't do anything to Lin Xiamian. We are running a business place."

It took him a long time to make Lin Xiaodong reluctantly believe that they would not provide "that kind of" service to the guests, but Lin Xiaodong himself is a socialist, of course he knows that the Wanxiao box in the middle of the night is full of people who come to drink with the guests. Miss Cowherd.

Moreover, things that can't be done in the box are still hot when you go out and turn left to the hotel.

"That's why you don't want to let people go?" Lin Xiaodong was also tired of fighting with him, and asked bluntly, "Tell me, I can pay for the money, but how do you plan to settle this matter?"

"I actually appreciate you," Manager Hu said. "You don't need to lose money, mainly because it's more difficult for Mr. Gu."

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought: "By the way, you and your brother look so similar, why don't you come for him!"

Lin Xiaodong: "..."

He never expected it.

The story of this magical dog-blood stand-in Bai Yueguang actually turned a 180-degree turn and turned back again!

System: "Isn't this right in your arms?"

"Cough," Lin Xiaodong coughed, "I don't just look at my face."

The system didn't believe it: "Really?"

"Really," Lin Xiaodong said solemnly, "the body is also very important."

System: It shouldn't ask.

Seeing his stunned look, Manager Hu thought that Lin Xiaodong was planning to refuse, so he started to coerce and tempt him: "You don't want this to be a big deal, do you? In case this happens, I will stab the Education Bureau, regardless of whether the school is expelled or not. He, he will definitely have to remember a major demerit in the end, when your brother will not say he is going to go to college, it will be a problem whether he can finish high school well!"

When he spoke, the young man kept his head down, his hands clenched into fists and trembled slightly, as if he was really hit by these words.

After a long time, he raised his head with red eyes and whispered, "I'll do it. But you have to promise that from now on, your people will never appear in front of my brother again."

Manager Hu crossed his fingers, leaned back on the chair and smiled with satisfaction.

"Yes." He agreed immediately. Anyway, the person Zheng Li wanted him to deal with was Lin Xiaodong.

Still young, he thought triumphantly, how deceiving.

At the same time, Lin Xiaodong also sighed in his heart and system.

"There are so many fools these days," he sighed. "I believed it without much acting. It's so deceiving."
