Chapter 55 [Prison Platform]

Chapter 54 [Prison Platform]

Mr. Fang was really angry this time, and his anger was extremely strong!
To be honest, although Luo Qing had cheated Mr. Fang before and Mr. Fang was angry, he was generally still within the normal range.

After all, Fatty Fang had also been in society for many years. People of the underworld should do things in the underworld.

The world is full of good and bad people. Some people help you while others cheat you.

Fatty Fang has been in the underworld for many years and has never been cheated or harmed by anyone.

But they can all be regarded as means of doing things in the underworld.

Can……

This time it’s different!

Yesterday, it was you, Master Zi, who took the initiative to come to my house to apologize and also took the initiative to accept the compensation amount!
This is what it means to take the initiative to surrender and make peace.

Fatty Fang had already accepted it magnanimously. As for the compensation... it was a considerable sum. But Fatty Fang took it with a clear conscience!

He had been cheated by Luo Qing before, and lost so much money in business. He was also hospitalized due to illness and broke his leg.

There's nothing wrong with taking that compensation.

As a result, everything went well.

A day later, they regretted it?!

This is what it means to deliberately humiliate yourself!!
Not only did you not follow the rules, you also fooled yourself?!

Fatty Fang's forehead veins throbbed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Assistant Yan, go call Elder Zi and tell her what's going on. Ask this woman what the hell she's up to! Do you really think I'm made of mud?!"

Assistant Yan nodded and was about to turn around and go out to make a phone call, but Mr. Fang suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"

"Hmm? Boss, anything else?"

Mr. Fang tapped his hands on the table and sneered, "Forget it, don't call that woman! No need to waste time talking to her!"
She and that Luo guy are from the same school, they are family, they are on the same side."

Well, the boss wants to think that they are in cahoots with each other?
Assistant Yan remained calm and said steadily, "Boss, what about us?"

Mr. Fang sighed, “I still have to ask Teacher Chen about this matter… well, it’s a pity.

I just gave someone a gift and had dinner with them last night, and now I'm asking them to do something for me today. Things don't look good.

It seems like we are here to burn incense because we need a favor from someone."

Assistant Yan thought for a moment and said cautiously, "Boss, are you worrying too much? I think Teacher Chen is a simple and direct person. If you ask him for something, he will naturally accept payment. I don't think he will refuse."

"You don't understand." Mr. Fang shook his head and said, "I just don't want my relationship with Teacher Chen to become a business transaction. I want to be his friend, understand? It's a pity that no one else can do this, so I can only ask Teacher Chen for help."

Mr. Fang narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Assistant Yan, can you think of a way to make Teacher Chen owe me a favor?"

Assistant Yan tried to guess what Mr. Fang was thinking and asked tentatively, "To please him?"

"Well, that's a way. The best way to make friends is to cater to their interests. Can you help me think of a way? Unfortunately, we don't know Teacher Chen well enough to know what he likes."

(He likes money), Assistant Yan muttered in his heart.

Assistant Yan had seen clearly that Chen Yan liked money. When he first mentioned the idea of performing a ritual, the other party was not very happy about it, but once he said that the reward was one month's rent, he immediately smiled.

Then they added half a year's property management fee or something...

This person likes money - this is Assistant Yan's judgment.

But... who doesn't like money?

Even if you like money, you can't just send them a bag of cash every day.

After all, he was holding Mr. Fang's job, so Assistant Yan thought hard for a moment before he remembered something.

"Boss, I suddenly remembered something. When Teacher Chen rented your house, the agent who handled it seemed to be an old friend of Teacher Chen.

I was there to sign the contract, and I heard them talking, and it seemed like they were classmates in college."

"Oh?" Mr. Fang's eyes lit up.

Assistant Yan said softly, "I'll go...find an agent to contact them?"

"Well, that's one idea. Be careful not to ask too many questions. Just try to find out what Teacher Chen likes and what people or things he particularly cares about."

"it is good!"

After getting up in the morning, Chen Yan was busy in the yard all morning.

The previous spirit gathering array was destroyed by Gu Qingyi. Chen Yan had already called the black-hearted boss of the stone yard and asked him to add a few more engraved bluestone strips.

When Chen Yan called, the black-hearted boss was overjoyed - Chen Yan had previously ordered 100 white jade plaques from him. They had agreed to contact Chen Yan to deliver the goods after they were finished in a few days.

As a result, Chen Yan was caught up in the seven-day disaster, and his phone was turned off. The owner of the stone quarry couldn't get through to him several times a day, so he thought the business had been cancelled.

After Chen Yan came back, one thing after another happened, and he almost forgot about the jade pendant business.

It was not until the spirit gathering array was broken and needed replacement materials that he remembered to contact that black-hearted boss.

When they contacted him over the phone, the boss was very straightforward and told Chen Yan that they actually had stock in stock - people always leave a margin when doing business. When they were preparing the stock for the 50 bluestone bars they ordered last time, they had a few extra cut stone bars.

In case something gets damaged while carving, it can be replaced at any time. Currently, several spare stone bars are still in the warehouse, but they have not been engraved with runes.

After receiving Chen Yan's call, the owner of the stone quarry patted his chest and said that he could finish the work and deliver the goods within two days - together with the 100 white jade plaques ordered last time.

In the morning, Chen Yan was in the yard, directing the old turtle to clean up the damaged stones of the spirit gathering array.

Poor Gui Geng, he had been doing hard labor for the whole morning - the stone of this spirit gathering array was the thing that stole the vitality from the mountain and made him run back and forth. He didn't know how many times he cursed Chen Yan in his heart, calling him a "wicked thing".

Chen Yan directed Gui Geng to clean up the yard. When he took a break, he turned his head and found that Gu Xiaoniang had moved a chair and placed it on the grass in the yard.

The small body leaned onto the chair, lying loosely on it, with eyes narrowed, and it was unclear whether he was asleep or practicing some mysterious technique.

For two hours, Gu Xiaoniang didn't move at all.

What a pity, Chen Yan looked at it and sighed in his heart.

She is a pretty girl, but she sleeps like Ge You.

Chen Yan's curiosity was aroused, and he couldn't help but go over and gently kick the chair.

"......" Gu Qingyi opened his eyes and looked at Chen Yan calmly.

"What are you doing here? You haven't moved all morning."

Gu Qingyi pondered for a moment, then replied softly, "I'm basking in the sun."

Hearing this, Chen Yan raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked up at the sun in the sky.

Although it is a sunny day today, it is already winter. The sun above our heads looks bright, but in fact, the little warmth it releases is really better than nothing when it falls on people.

In addition, there is a slight northwest wind today. In this kind of weather, ordinary people sit outside for half a day with the cold wind blowing. If they don't catch a cold, they are considered to be in good health.

"The highest temperature today is only three degrees." Chen Yan frowned: "What's so good about basking in the sun?"

"You don't understand." Gu Qingyi glanced at Chen Yan, then looked up at the sun and whispered in a sincere and serious tone, "The sunshine here... is very warm."

Chen Yan originally wanted to make a joke, but suddenly noticed that there was something unusual in Gu Qingyi's eyes.

The girl looked up at the sun in the sky, the warmth that was better than nothing... But there was something strange in her eyes, as if there was a hint of...

enjoy?

Chen Yan was a little dazed, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

Looking at this delicate and somewhat coquettish girl, there was a hint of pity in her eyes that made people feel pity for her - although Chen Yan didn't know where that look came from.

He thought about it and walked back to the villa. When he came out after a while, he was holding two large cups of steaming milk tea in his hands.

"Yesterday, Mr. Fang sent me two boxes of good tea among the New Year gifts. There happened to be milk in the refrigerator, so I tried to make two cups of milk tea. Try my special milk tea."

Chen Yan stuffed one of the cups into Gu Qingyi's hand. Gu Qingyi took it, hesitated for a moment, took a small sip, and then quickly, her charming big eyes narrowed.

This girl likes it sweet!
Chen Yan made a conclusion in his mind.

He deliberately added half a spoonful of sugar to the milk tea he made.

Then Chen Yan smiled easily, moved a chair over and placed it not far from Gu Qingyi, and lay down in the chair, imitating Gu Qingyi's behavior.

Don't even mention it, a mouthful of milk tea and a mouthful of northwest wind, this taste...

Isn't it a living hell?

Chen Yan turned his head to look at Gu Qingyi curiously, but found that this young lady Gu still looked comfortable and enjoying herself.

"Is there no sunlight in the domain?" Chen Yan asked softly.

"You can get some sun." Gu Qingyi opened her eyes, then closed them again, murmuring softly, "In the springtime on Taohua Mountain, the wind and sun are very warm. I've heard the sunset at Erlong Bay is also very beautiful. In the summer on the Luochuan Plain, I've heard people jump into the Tianhe River to bathe and escape the heat... Unfortunately, I haven't been to any of these places yet."

"Haven't you seen it?" Chen Yan asked curiously.

Gu Qingyi shook his head. "I'm a member of the Gu family. The Gu family's inherited cultivation method is the path of warfare—we're not good at magic, but specialize in attacking. I've been practicing warfare since I was a child, and after my coming-of-age ceremony at the age of fifteen, I was sent to the Prison Suppression Platform..."

Chen Yan's heart sank, and he said, "Prison Suppression Platform? That name doesn't sound like a beautiful place."

Gu Qingyi's eyes revealed a hint of indifference: "Indeed, it's not a good place."

She looked at the sun in the sky with complicated eyes, not knowing what she was recalling, and whispered softly, "That place... the sky is always gray all year round, you can never see the sun, and you can never see the moon.

There is neither day nor night throughout the year.

At every moment, there is a strong wind like a steel knife chopping at the body... If you don't hide in the house, even if you are a cultivator, you must always use the practice of martial arts to resist when standing outdoors. Otherwise, the strong wind will be like countless steel knives, which can scrape people's skin and flesh into pieces.

I saw with my own eyes a person who had his martial arts skills destroyed and was thrown into the wind. He was a healthy person, but in a short time the strong wind turned him into a skeleton.

The air is always dark and damp. After smelling it for a long time, no matter how much water I drink, I feel a bitter taste in my mouth.

There is never a trace of warmth in that place...

Well, that’s not right of me to say…”

Gu Qingyi suddenly paused, with a slightly crazy smile on his face, and then he whispered to himself:
"Because, when the blood sprays on your face, you can also feel a little warmth."
