The world begins with shameless people

After watching Ding Xiu return home, Lip gritted his teeth and rushed home.

Compared with the trouble Fiona got into, going to school was nothing.

In the blink of an eye, Lip rushed into the Gallagher house and found Fiona who was packing up and getting ready to go to work.

"What's wrong?" Fiona asked, somewhat confused, when she saw Lip's serious expression.

Lip glanced at Sammy who was busy not far away, and then said to Fiona, "Go to the backyard, I need to talk to you about something."

"Are you in a hurry? I can't be late for work," Fiona asked.

Lip nodded decisively, "It's urgent, let's go."

Fiona frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and had to follow.

Soon, in the backyard.

Lip lit a cigarette and got straight to the point without any nonsense, "What did you do last night?"

"????" Fiona was really stupid. "I didn't do anything. What's wrong?"

Lip took a deep puff of his cigarette, "Ding Xiu just came to me and threatened you. Are you sure you didn't do anything last night?"

After hearing this, Fiona finally reacted. Her expression changed, and she realized what Lip was talking about. She immediately fell silent in nervousness.

Lip knew at a glance that Fiona must have done something, so he took another long drag on his cigarette and asked, "What did you do? Tell me!"

Facing such a Lip, Fiona was really a little scared. After being silent for two seconds, she started to speak, "I went to find Veronica and told her the truth about Ding Xiu..."

boom!
When Lip heard this, he felt his head explode, his eyes widened to the extreme, his face was full of shock, he couldn't believe how Fiona could be so stupid! ! I really can't understand it! ! !

"What the fxxk????" Lip was really shocked. "Why would you do this? Do you want to die? Or do you want to kill me?"

Fiona was further frightened and weakly defended herself, "I just want Veronica to know the truth..."

"Haha!" Lip really didn't have much patience for idiots, and sneered, "Why? What's the point?"

"I, I hope to be friends with Veronica again. In this way, you go to school and I go to work, and she can help take care of Liam... I'm also doing this for this family..." Fiona explained again.

Lip was stunned for a moment, and then, because this reason was indeed a good one, his tone softened a little, "Then have you ever thought about whether Veronica would tell Ding Xiu? Have you ever thought about how Ding Xiu would react after knowing it?"

Did Fiona ever think about that?

No.

So Fiona remained silent again out of guilt.

Lip was really helpless with such a stupid Fiona. He could only quietly finish the rest of the cigarette and force himself to adjust his mood and suppress his anger.

The effect is okay.

"Go find Veronica right away and tell her not to tell anyone else what you said!!!" Lip said again, "She must have told Kevin, and Kevin is a big mouth and can't keep secrets... Shit, let's just pray that Kevin didn't say nonsense in Elleybury!"

"Otherwise, if those drunkards knew about Ding Xiu..."

"People like Ding Xiu will never let you go!"

After a pause, Lip added, "He disguised himself for so long, and you finally exposed him. Do you think there will be no consequences? Do you think he dare not kill you?"

Gordon.

Fiona is a coward by nature. When faced with big things, she will panic and scream. In an instant, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She didn't dare to imagine the consequences described by Lip, and her mind went blank again.

There was a few seconds of silence.

"Okay, I'll go find Veronica now..." Fiona said as she walked away. After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lip. She asked Lip with a trembling voice, "If Kevin has already told Lip about it in Elibor, what should I do? Should I call the police?"

Lip had a terrible headache and gritted his teeth. "Calling the police is the last resort. Let's go and confirm first! Forget it, I'll go with you!"

Lip was really worried about letting Fiona do such an important thing.

Fiona, who was already somewhat at a loss, breathed a sigh of relief silently and felt a little relieved.

The two of them didn't delay and strode straight to Veronica's house along the back path.

********
2113 North Wallace Street.

The atmosphere in the room was still quite solemn.

At the dining table.

Veronica had a dark face, said nothing, didn't even look at Kevin, and just ate breakfast quietly.

Kevin was very annoyed. He looked at Veronica from time to time, wanting to say something to make the heavy atmosphere disappear, but he didn't know what to say.

Esther was not stupid and had noticed something was wrong a long time ago, but she felt it was not her place to get involved, so she kept silent and ate her breakfast in silence.

Time passes quietly.

dong dong dong~~
There was a sudden knock at the back door.

"I'll go open it," Kevin said flatteringly as soon as he heard it, and stood up and walked towards the back door.

After opening the door, Kevin was startled when he saw Fiona and Lip with unhappy faces. Then, there was a bit of resentment in his eyes.

In Kevin's opinion at this moment, these damn Gallaghers are really good at causing trouble. No matter where they go, there will be trouble!

If Fiona hadn't come and talked nonsense last night, he and Veronica wouldn't be like this!
"What's the matter?" Kevin asked unhappily.

"We need to talk to you," Lip said bluntly, not wanting to have any more contact with Kevin.

"What?" Kevin asked.

"Can we go in first?" Lip asked.

Kevin hesitated for a moment and gave way.

It didn't take long.

The four of them sat on the sofa in the living room.

"Wei," Fiona was really afraid that Ding Xiu would do something to her, so she said without hesitation, "Who have you told what I said to you last night?"

Veronica frowned, "I only told Kevin, what's wrong?"

"Ding Xiu found Lip not long ago and threatened me through Lip, asking me not to talk nonsense," Fiona said in one breath, almost as if she was confessing.

Veronica heard it and was shocked, "Jesus!!!"

With a startled cry, Veronica turned her head sharply towards Kevin, with an attitude that 'I'm right', "What did I tell you?! Do you still think it's okay?"

Kevin was overwhelmed. He raised his hand to smooth his long hair and was speechless for a moment.

Lip couldn't wait and asked Kevin, "Kevin, who did you tell?"

"Mickey," Kevin replied without thinking too much.

When Lip heard this, his thoughts raced. He probably realized how Ding Xiu knew it, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

There is no other reason.

Mickey's kind of guy doesn't seem to be a loudmouth.

In other words, Fiona's words should not have spread widely for the time being.

After thinking for a while, Lip wanted to confirm, "You didn't tell anyone else? You didn't tell Eliber?"

"I'm not stupid," Kevin replied decisively, "There's no way I would tell anyone about this."

Lip relaxed further, "That's good."

At this time, Veronica anxiously asked Fiona, "How did Ding Xiu threaten you?"

When Fiona heard this, she immediately interpreted Ding Xiu's words in an exaggerated way.

Veronica was so timid that she was terrified. She immediately glared at Kevin and was about to say something harsh. Kevin knew what Veronica was going to do when he saw her expression. He immediately asked Lip, "Lip, what did Ding Xiu say?"

Yes, Kevin doesn't believe Fiona.

Fiona has done too many stupid things, and Kevin has long lost trust in her.

In fact, at this point, Kevin is not happy to have anything to do with these Gallaghers.

The meaning of Kevin's words was too obvious;

Fiona glared at him immediately, feeling unhappy.

Lip raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, ignored Fiona, and repeated Ding Xiu's words in full.

After listening.

Kevin immediately looked at Fiona, "Ding Xiu just told you not to talk nonsense, you've exaggerated too much."

Fiona was unhappy and immediately retorted, "I am exaggerating. When a person like him says that, isn't it just a threat to me? Is he going to do something to me?"

Kevin looked at Fiona with complicated eyes for two seconds. He was too lazy to talk to Fiona, so he turned to Lip and asked, "What do you want to do by coming to us?"

Lip roughly saw that there was a problem between Veronica and Kevin. , without further ado, he replied, "I hope you won't tell anyone about what Fiona said last night, okay?"

"We can't afford to offend Ding Xiu. If more people find out, he won't be polite to us."

Kevin nodded directly, "Okay."

Veronica chimed in, "I promise I won't tell anyone else...would you consider calling the police?"

As soon as these words came out.

Kevin's reaction was extremely intense. His eyes widened and he looked at Veronica in disbelief. "Veronica! What the fxxk!!!"

Veronica's face was dark, she was extremely serious, and she didn't give in at all. "What's the problem? Ding Xiu is a criminal!!"

"What's wrong with you?" Women really don't understand the feelings between men. Kevin got angry and spoke rudely.

Veronica couldn't stand this, she stood up suddenly and said fiercely, "What's wrong with me? It's you who has the problem!!!"

"The facts are all here. Ding Xiu is a criminal. Why are you defending him?"

Kevin also refused to give in. He stood up and said in a resounding voice, "Because he is my friend, and because he has helped me a lot!"

Done.

Kevin turned his head and said to Lip and Fiona, "You should go!"

This is not a negotiation.

Fiona had never seen this side of Kevin before and was a little panicked. When she heard this, she quietly got up and left.

Lip was in a very heavy mood, because he suddenly realized that the trouble Fiona had caused this time was far greater than he had imagined... He then realized that the reason why Ding Xiu threatened him not long ago was most likely not because he was worried that the police would cause trouble, but because of the conflict between Kevin and Veronica...

The conflict between Kevin and Veronica was caused by Fiona!

"F**k!" Lip couldn't help cursing after walking out of Veronica's house. He looked at Fiona and said, "You're in big trouble this time!"

"I guess Kevin and Veronica had a fight last night because of what you said."

"I suspect Ding Xiu threatened you because of this."

Fiona's IQ is limited, "???? What do you mean?"

When Lip heard this, he really thought Fiona was too stupid, simply hopelessly stupid, "What I mean is that Ding Xiu single-handedly trained Kevin and Veronica, and now, you almost ruined his efforts!"

boom.

Fiona finally understood, and her face turned pale.

****************
Kevin and Veronica were unwilling to give in and had a huge argument.

After arguing for a few minutes, Kevin got really angry. He picked up the car keys, strode out the door, and then slammed the door with a loud bang.

Hearing the noise, Veronica was so frightened that her body trembled, and there was obvious panic in her eyes.

Kevin walked out of the house and reached the sidewalk in one breath. Then, he lit a cigarette and turned to look at Ding Xiu's house.

Ding Xiu's G-Class was still parked on the side of the road, which meant that Ding Xiu was still at home.

Kevin took a few puffs of his cigarette, decided to go talk to Ding Xiu, and walked over.

2118 North Wallace Street.

Bianca changed into a very beautiful long dress, put on some makeup, and just finished getting ready. She turned around happily in front of Ding Xiu, "Does it look good?"

Ding Xiu smiled decisively and gave a thumbs up, "You are like an angel. You will piss off all those old women today."

Emotional value is a two-way thing.

Bianca heard this and laughed happily.

So what if it's false, just be happy.

"It's okay, we'll take him to the hospital when the time comes," Bianca said with a smile.

"Haha, good idea," Ding Xiucan agreed with a smile.

Soon, the two prepared to go out to the city government.

A few days ago, Ding Xiu asked a lawyer to contact the mayor and donated a sum of money to build a modern library in the South District.

This matter went exceptionally smoothly.

This is also normal.

The city doesn't care about this hellhole of a place called the South District. Now, Ding Xiuken donated money to build a library which is a waste in the South District... It's enough for the mayor to get a good reputation. Anyway, he doesn't have to spend his own money, so why not do it.

Anyway, there will be a small press conference at city hall at ten o'clock this morning.

The mayor will come out, improve his reputation, and say some polite words to Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu was actually not happy to be in this situation, but sometimes, some things had to be done.

It's time for him to improve his image.

The two went out.

at this time.

Kevin, holding a cigarette in his mouth, walked to the front yard of Ding Xiu's house. When he saw Ding Xiu and Bianca, he was really surprised. "What event are you two going to attend? You are dressed so solemnly."

Seeing Kevin, Ding Xiu immediately guessed the reason, and nodded with a smile, "Well, how about going to meet the mayor? Do you want to join in the fun?"

Kevin has never had close contact with the mayor, and of course, he has no interest in him.

but……

Ding Xiudu has become involved with the mayor?
This is considered a true success!

Kevin has watched many TV shows and movies, and has heard many stories during his many years in Elibor. Compared to Veronica, he understands what this world is like better.

What about criminals?
All politicians are dirty and, in a sense, criminals. However, they are still politicians and they still have the power to call the shots.

In short, Kevin felt that Ding Xiu was becoming more and more powerful. If nothing else, he was at least a very successful criminal.

"Okay, I happen to be free right now," Kevin replied with a smile.

"Get in the car, we'll talk about what you want to talk about later," Ding Xiu replied with a smile.

Kevin nodded, "Yeah."

The three of them got in the car and headed to the city government. (End of this chapter)
