Reborn in 1991, I opened supermarkets all over the world.

Shancheng Cinema is currently the best widescreen cinema in Jiang City.

Gu Quan had only ever been to video arcades before; he'd never been to such a high-class place before!

He abandoned his usual arrogant and domineering ways and spoke to the man blocking the aisle in a gentlemanly manner: "Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

The man frowned.

His row was full, except for the seat next to him that was reserved for Lin Siyan.

Seeing Gu Quan forcefully straddle his lap and sit down next to him, he felt even more uneasy.

"Who are you?" Li Wei asked.

Gu Quan asked curiously, "Then who are you?"

"Who gave you the ticket?"

Gu Quan assumed that tickets would be checked at any time in such a large movie theater, so he answered truthfully, "A friend."

Li Wei's Adam's apple bobbed as he asked with difficulty, "What friends? Are you...very close?"

Gu Quan nodded: "That's right, we grew up together wearing open-crotch pants."

A shadow fell over Li Wei's inner world. He thought to himself, "Is this what childhood sweethearts are like?"

Gu Quan noticed this person was acting strangely and didn't seem like a ticket inspector: "Why are you asking so many questions? Are we that close?"

Mustering his last bit of courage, Li Wei asked, "How far have things gone? Have you...have you touched her hand?"

Gu Quan laughed: "I not only touched his hand, we even put our arms around each other's shoulders."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei felt like his world had collapsed.

How could my goddess, whom I regarded as a pure and innocent person, be arm in arm with someone like this?

He was still a rough-around-the-edges guy, like a street thug.

His heart was ice-cold.

For a moment, he even wanted to slap the man hard, but when he saw Gu Quan's size, he didn't dare to do it.

Seeing his unpredictable mood and his repeated hesitation, Gu Quan finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Can't you just watch the movie properly? If you keep babbling, I'll beat you to death."

Lu Zifeng already had a good idea of ​​what to expect from this movie ticket.

It was indeed his oversight to forget to invite Lin Siyan at noon, but the relationship between him and Lin Siyan was not what Tang Guo thought.

Lin Siyan glanced at the pink digital watch on her wrist, and Lu Zifeng understood: "Have you eaten yet?"

Lin Siyan nodded.

As the two walked out of the bustling hot pot restaurant, a gust of cold wind blew, and Lin Siyan quickly wrapped her trench coat tighter around herself.

She glanced at Lu Zifeng and noticed that he was also looking at her, but he didn't seem to intend to put his coat on her.

Oh right, those are things that couples do.

"Where are you and your friend staying tonight?" Lin Siyan asked.

"I booked a hotel near the dock," Lu Zifeng said.

"I heard it's quite chaotic over there."

"What else can I do? Stay at your place?"

"Ugh!" Lin Siyan knew Lu Zifeng was joking with her, so she suddenly made a gun shape with her hand and pressed it against Lu Zifeng's head: "If my dad sees this, he'll pick up a police gun like this, point it at you, and ask: 'Where did this petty thief come from?'"

"Then I will say that I come from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, on my way to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. I am passing through your place and would like to ask for lodging for the night. I will leave tomorrow morning."

"Haha, why don't you catch a few monsters before you leave?"

"Then let's just arrest you!"

After seeing Lin Siyan off on one of those trams with two long braids, she opened the window and waved to Lu Zifeng.

Lu Zifeng instructed, "Close the windows, don't catch a cold."

Lin Siyan rolled her eyes: "You talk like an old man!"

Lu Zifeng was speechless. "I'm just an old man."

Considering the extra decades you lived in your previous life, you wouldn't be at a loss if you called me "Grandpa".

He ran into Gu Quan downstairs at the hotel.

"Quan'er, was the movie good?"

"It's boring. Everyone else is in pairs, and I'm just playing solo with that silly guy next to me."

Lu Zifeng knew that the person he was talking about was Li Wei from the Bureau of Culture.

Hearing from Gu Quan that the kid was acting strangely and asking some irrelevant questions, Lu Zifeng said irritably, "Why don't you just fight him?"

"That's not a good idea. Even though we're powerful and formidable, we can't suppress the local bullies. But I've already warned him to shut up."

Back at his lodgings, Lu Zifeng simply washed his face and lay down fully clothed.

As instructed by Lu Zifeng, Gu Quan lay down fully clothed, but he found it uncomfortable to sleep with his belt around his waist, so he took off his outer pants.

I don't expect to sleep too soundly tonight; I just want to find a warm place, close my eyes, and rest.

The more this is the case, the more he admires ordinary people who can make money in this era.

They are not only bold and visionary, but also capable of enduring hardships that others cannot.

Around midnight, a noise woke Lu Zifeng up.

He saw a dark figure stealthily creeping towards Gu Quan's bed.

When two people go out together, they usually don't keep their cash in the same place to avoid being robbed.

Therefore, it's understandable that the thief targeted Gu Quan, who seemed rather simple-minded, first.

Moreover, Gu Quan took off his pants but not his clothes, giving people the illusion that "the money is in my clothes".

In fact, Gu Quan didn't have much money. During the Spring Festival, he helped Lu Zifeng push a cart, and Lu Zifeng gave him 100 yuan. He used it to buy his grandmother a new cotton-padded coat, and spent the rest on cigarettes and video games.

He only had a little over ten yuan on him, which was the twenty yuan Lu Zifeng had given him because he was worried he would be hungry after watching the movie.

Lu Zifeng did not rush to get up and stop him.

On the one hand, he wanted to see how vigilant Gu Quan was;

On the other hand, he was unsure whether the thief had any accomplices.

If I act rashly, I might be ambushed by his accomplices hiding in the shadows.

Besides Lu Zifeng, Gu Quan, and the thief, there are three other beds.

One of the beds stirred; Lu Zifeng remembered it was the one with the scar.

As for the thief, he was the big man who was picking his toes on the bed when he first came in that afternoon, commonly known as the "toe-picking big man".

"Bang!" The burly man with his feet scratched fell to the ground.

Gu Quan sat up and patted Lu Zifeng's feet: "Brother Feng, I'll take one down."

"You're quite something, kid!" Lu Zifeng said with a smile.

"They're all awake!" The voice came from Scar's bedside.

Gu Quan sneered, "What? If you're not satisfied, you can challenge me to a duel."

Gu Quan was the type to strike ruthlessly, always aiming for the head. While it wouldn't be fatal, the burly man would definitely be unable to get up for a while.

Therefore, Gu Quan was not afraid of provocation at all.

Scarface said, "Brother, don't get me wrong, I'm here to deliver goods."

The other two unconscious men in the other beds also woke up and said on behalf of Scarface, "This guy really is here to deliver goods."

Gu Quan asked, "How do I know if you're the same kind of people?"

One of the young men said, "Actually, the three of us didn't know each other. We only met when we were checking into the hotel. This Brother Qin said that it was inconvenient for him to be traveling alone, so the three of us pretended to know each other and played cards together to give others the illusion that there were more of us."

Lu Zifeng suddenly realized.

It seems that the scars on Scarface's body may be fake, and he probably exposed his arms in this still chilly weather to deter troublemakers.

Another man, wearing a fuchsia collared t-shirt, got out of bed and said, "I'm going to take a piss. Now I can get a good night's sleep."

As he spoke, he put on a pair of cotton shoes and walked towards the door.

A moment later, Lu Zifeng realized something was wrong: the person's footsteps were not heading towards the public toilet.
