What? You're a notorious bandit? What a coincidence, me too!

"How about this, you come and help me with some things after a while."

Lin Chang'an said.

"To help you... with something?"

Lin Shengnan looked at Lin Chang'an with a strange expression.

Although his cousin seems to have changed for the better now, in Lin Shengnan's mind, he is still an ignorant and incompetent fellow.

Help him with something?

When he hit someone, did he ask me to keep watch for him?

Listening to Lin Shengnan's tone and the disdainful expression on her face, Lin Chang'an guessed what the other woman was thinking.

That's true, I, as the older brother, have left a shadow on this girl over the years.

He raised his hand and tapped the other person on the head.

"After my brother gets married, I plan to open a mobile phone store," Lin Chang'an said.

"Open a mobile phone store?"

Lin Shengnan looked surprised. "You... own a mobile phone shop?"

"What? You look down on your brother?"

Lin Chang'an looked at the other person's disbelieving expression and said...

If you open a mobile phone store, you have to figure out how to handle the store location and the supply of goods yourself.

But someone has to be there every day to keep an eye on the goods and sell them.

Fang Qingzhu is certainly capable.

But she's pregnant, and even if she can work, it won't last long.

But I'm not the kind of person who can settle down easily, so I always need to have more people with me.

Now that Lin Shengnan has decided not to go to school, she is naturally the best choice.

Lin Shengnan bit her lip, looking incredulous.

Lin Chang'an was too lazy to explain to her, and only said: "If you still plan to go to school, but your dad won't let you, just tell me, and I'll pay for it for you."

If you really don't plan to attend, you can consider what I said.

Of course, none of these are the most important things. The important thing is that we can't go to Dongguan.

Lin Chang'an remembers that at this time, Dongguan's service industry was booming.

Many young girls enter Dongguan with dreams, only to be gradually deceived and forced into becoming Dongguan-style waitresses after experiencing the harsh realities of society.

The stories about girls working in Dongguan and introducing other girls to earn money are pretty much the same old thing.

Lin Shengnan bit her lip and remained silent.

"Oh, right, give this to me."

Lin Chang'an took a box out of his pocket and handed it to her.

"I remember your birthday is coming up soon, so I'm giving you a present."

Seeing that Lin Shengnan did not reach out to take it, he slapped it into her hand.

"Let's go!"

Before the other party could react, Lin Chang'an got on his motorcycle and left the yard.

Lin Shengnan watched Lin Chang'an disappear outside the door, hesitated for a moment, and looked at the box in her hand.

It has a logo printed on it that reads: Six Great Blessings.

She thought for a moment, opened the box, and was immediately captivated by what was inside.

Inside was a shimmering silver rabbit pendant.

What girl doesn't like sparkly things?

She took it in her hand and looked at it, realizing that it wasn't cheap, so she carefully put it away.

She was somewhat puzzled by Lin Chang'an's behavior.

When did her cousin ever give her a birthday present?

He's like a completely different person now, truly unlike before.

However... her birthday was already last month, Lin Chang'an must have remembered it wrong.

…………

The sound of motorcycle engines echoed through the streets as a small white van parked on the side of the road passed by.

Xiao Bao and the others huddled in the car, yawning.

"Xiao Bao is a kid surnamed Lin."

"Follow in your car."

Xiao Bao said something, and suddenly the phone rang.

"Ming-ge! ...Okay...I understand."

Don't worry, I told you this kid has no background, he's just a small-time hoodlum.

Don't worry... I understand... You can trust me to handle things...

After hanging up the phone, the person next to him asked, "Xiao Bao, what did Brother Ming say?"

Xiao Bao lit a cigarette, took a long drag, and said with a look of pure bliss:

"Ming didn't believe our investigation, so he had someone else investigate this Lin guy's background."

"What did you find out?" the person next to him asked.

Xiao Bao laughed: "Nothing found. That kid is nothing, just a thug who knows how to fight."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Ming said we should find a way to scare this kid and that middle schooler, so they'll keep everything they saw yesterday to themselves."

Upon hearing this, the people in the car all revealed sinister smiles.

They had just finished ice skating yesterday when Lin Chang'an caught them off guard and took on all three of them at once. They were all seething with anger.

The driver accelerated and drove towards Lin Chang'an in the distance.

Lin Chang'an came out of his third uncle's house.

He was also thinking about what happened at the bar yesterday, and Lin Hongbin's worries were not unfounded.

However, he wasn't one to meddle; if Lin Hongbin hadn't been involved, he wouldn't have bothered.

Hopefully, this matter will end here. He's not some innocent fool who would bother with those who are involved in drugs.

Riding his bike, he planned to look around the neighborhood to see which banquet hall still had bookings available.

He had already planned it out: if he still couldn't find one, he would hold a large-scale banquet at his doorstep, spending more money to make it a bigger spectacle.

It's not that I'm losing face, it's just that I need to communicate with my mother-in-law.

He remembered that when they talked about marriage in his previous life, Wang Xiulan insisted on holding the banquet in a banquet hall, saying that it would be more prestigious and that's how people in the city do it.

Lost in thought, he suddenly drifted off into his own thoughts. When he came back to his senses, a white van brushed past him.

He was about to curse when the minivan suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, blocking his way.

Immediately afterwards, the car door opened, and several men jumped out, carrying weapons.

Lin Chang'an stopped the car, looked at the group, and suddenly frowned.

Aren't these the same drug addicts from the bar yesterday?

He went through it in his mind in an instant.

It seems that Lin Hongbin's worst fears have come true!

"Lin Chang'an, right!"

Xiao Bao played with a knife in his hand, looking over with a sinister gaze and a mocking smile.

"Come here."

He made a highly provocative gesture, signaling Lin Chang'an to come closer.

Lin Chang'an squinted at the group, but didn't move, remaining seated on the motorcycle.

"Speak, what do you want?"

What do you think?

Xiao Bao laughed, a laugh bordering on madness: "We were careless yesterday, and you stole our base. You really think you're so great?"

I'm telling you, whatever you saw or knew yesterday, keep it all to yourself.

If you dare utter a single word out loud, I'll make you regret it.

Lin Chang'an gripped the handlebars, his brows furrowed, but he remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xiao Bao thought he was scared, so he spoke even more forcefully.

"By the way, tell that little buddy of yours to keep his mouth shut. I know exactly where he lives."

He paused, picked up the knife, and slowly walked towards Lin Chang'an: "I know how many people are in his family."

He walked up to Lin Chang'an and glared at him fiercely:

"Kid, I know your background. You work at the Second Machinery Factory, right? And you have a fiancée who works at Jin'an Shopping Mall. If you dare say anything outside, you know the consequences..."

Xiao Bao was using his sharp tongue to attack Lin Chang'an, looking fierce, but he didn't notice that Lin Chang'an's hand was slowly moving away from the handlebars.
