Chapter 201 The best choice
"I want to talk to him alone--" Gao Dongxu said to Leng Feng, looking at Meng Chao, who was restrained, with his head lowered and his body slightly curled up.

"Yeah." Leng Feng nodded and stood up. Seeing Meng Chao looking up at him nervously and helplessly, he smiled and said, "It's okay. Brother Gao is a good person."

After Leng Feng left, Gao Dongxu took out a cigarette and handed one to Meng Chao. Meng Chao hurriedly took the cigarette with both hands and said thank you in a low voice.

Gao Dongxu lit a cigarette and pushed the lighter in front of Meng Chao. He watched Meng Chao pick up the lighter, light the cigarette, and take two quick puffs with his trembling, rough, and greasy fingers.

Although he had cleaned thoroughly and changed into new clothes, one could still see how hard he had worked.

He has bangs that are longer than his eyes, dark skin, and thin but strong shoulders and arms. His wandering life has made him skinny and pale. He doesn't have enough money to eat and drink well, so his shoulders are so thin that you can almost see his bones through his clothes.

And because he works outside all year round, repairing cars or working on construction sites, which are all physical jobs, a layer of muscle has attached to his arms, a kind of worker's muscle.

His shoulders are always subconsciously hunched upwards, a subconscious behavior that reflects a lack of security and love. It is also a way for him to protect himself, which also reflects that he is always living in fear.

I always want to hide myself, from my hunched waist to my hunched shoulders, I wish I could curl myself up into a ball in the next second.

"Raise your head--" Gao Dongxu said in an unquestionable tone.

Meng Chao was slightly stunned, but finally he slowly raised his head obediently, his dark eyes full of panic and anxiety.

"Should I call you Meng Chao or Zhang Qingdong..." Gao Dongxu leaned back on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, and said indifferently to Meng Chao.

"Meng Chao." Meng Chao replied in a low voice.

"I have heard all about your situation from Leng Feng. Don't worry. You were a minor when you killed the village tyrant. Plus, it was self-defense, so nothing will happen to you. I will arrange for a lawyer to take you to surrender. It won't be long before you are released and can live freely in the sun again." Gao Dongxu said lightly.

"Thank you, thank you--" Meng Chao hurriedly stood up and bowed to Gao Dongxu to express his gratitude.

"Well, sit down." Gao Dongxu accepted Meng Chao's gratitude calmly, and after he finished bowing, he let him sit down again.

"To be honest, the reason I helped you was partly because Leng Feng asked for help, but more importantly, I really admire you..."

Gao Dongxu took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled the smoke, looked at Meng Chao with admiration, and then suddenly looked up, looking at him with surprise and confusion, and explained.

"For eight years as a fugitive, you were helpless, like a blade of grass on a cliff, leaning against the cold wind, relying on the strength of your remaining roots to survive. You can imagine how difficult it was, bearing such heavy pressure, but reality and life could not crush you. Instead, you relied on the strength in your bones to desperately survive, tenacious and resilient...

Of course, I'm not helping you without a purpose. I need someone I can trust. You're alone, without family, and you have qualities I admire. So, are you willing to follow me?"

"I am willing!"

Meng Chao stood up again, bowed deeply to Gao Dongxu, and said in a trembling voice, "It was Brother Feng who saved me. If it weren't for Brother Feng, I would have died. Later, Brother Feng told me that it was you who asked him to save Xiaoyu and me. I have no way to repay you, but from now on, my life is yours!"

Looking at Meng Chao, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, those who are loyal are mostly butchers, and those who are unfaithful are mostly scholars, the ancients were right.

"Okay, I'll give you a new life, and give you wealth that you never dared to dream of before. I only want your loyalty, and I won't treat you unfairly. I hope you won't let me down either."

Meng Chao looked up, his body trembling slightly with excitement, his eyes full of determination and resoluteness. He nodded vigorously and said "hmm".

Gao Dongxu smiled with satisfaction, stood up, and said to Meng Chao: "Come on, call Leng Feng, and go out to find a barber shop first to get your hair done. Then I'll treat you to roast duck. You're too thin. You need to eat more in the future to make up for your nutrition and become stronger. Then you can learn fighting. From now on, you will be my driver and personal bodyguard——"

"Well, I will try my best." There was a gleam in Meng Chao's eyes, unlike the fear and nervousness when they first met.

Gao Dongxu was very satisfied when he saw the subtle changes in Meng Chao. He called Leng Feng, who continued to be the driver. The three of them found a barber shop, cleaned Meng Chao's hair and shaved his face.

After some tidying up, Meng Chao regained his original handsome appearance.

"Xiao Chao, I didn't expect that you would look so handsome after cleaning up--" Leng Feng sighed as he looked at Meng Chao's handsome face.

Meng Chao blushed a little embarrassedly. Gao Dongxu smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be shy. Being handsome is a good thing. Let's go. I'll take you to eat roast duck to satisfy your craving—"

Quanjude. The table was overflowing with food. Gao Dongxu poured Meng Chao a Feitian and himself another. Leng Feng had to drive, so he didn't pour him a drink.

"Don't be restrained, eat and drink as much as you want. From now on, forget the past and start anew—" Gao Dongxu said with a smile while raising his glass.

Meng Chao hurriedly picked up the wine glass, stood up, bowed slightly, lowered the glass, and clinked it with Gao Dongxu's glass. Then, while Gao Dongxu drank, he tilted his head back and drank the whole glass of liquor in one gulp.

He drank a little too much and the alcohol started to rise. Meng Chao's face suddenly turned red, but he quickly suppressed it. He covered his mouth with his hand, coughed twice, then hurriedly put down the wine glass, picked up the Moutai bottle, and poured wine for Gao Dongxu.

Gao Dongxu and Leng Feng looked at Meng Chao who was pouring wine respectfully and smiled at each other. Although this kid had been on the run for eight years and had a hard life at the bottom of society, he was not useless. Instead, he had acquired a lot of social experience and knowledge.

"Sit down and eat as much as you want--" Gao Dongxu rolled a roast duck roll for Meng Chao, handed it to him, and said with a smile.

Meng Chao hurriedly took it, looked at Gao Dongxu gratefully, hummed, opened his mouth and ate it. While chewing the crispy-skinned, tender-meat, and fragrant roast duck, feeling the aroma of the oil overflowing in his mouth, his eyes turned red and tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.

"Hey--"

Leng Feng was touched by Meng Chao's expression and sighed softly. He patted Meng Chao on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Follow Brother Gao and work hard. Your life has begun a new life from today. Just treat the past as a nightmare. Now that you've woken up, don't think about it anymore."

"Hmm..." Meng Chao hummed softly while eating and crying. He wiped the tears that he couldn't stop, smiled with relief, and buried his head in the food.

Gao Dongxu smiled as he watched Meng Chao eating with relish, took out his cell phone and called Shengtian Banzi.

"Hello, Brother Qi, I hope I didn't disturb you from working. Haha, I do have something I want to ask you..."

Gao Dongxu recounted Meng Chao's story and asked, "So, should I have the lawyer take him to surrender directly in Beijing, or should I return to his hometown to surrender?"

"Don't surrender yourself in the capital. The procedures alone will take a long time, and you might even be sent back to your hometown. There's no need to return to his hometown, where the case might take who knows how long. Just send him directly to me. It won't be a hassle. With some arrangements, the case can be closed quickly. Then, we can send a case closure notice to his hometown system and release him without charge."

"Okay, that's the best. I'll arrange for someone to send him to Jingzhou this afternoon and contact you then. Thank you, Brother Qi." Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"What's the big deal? We're family, so it's awkward to say that. So, just call me when you arrive and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up."

"Okay, thank you..." Gao Dongxu hung up the phone with a smile, then looked at Meng Chao, who had been looking at him with a bit of trepidation, and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to arrange for you to surrender in Beijing, but even with a lawyer, your case is clear and straightforward, and you still have to go through the procedures. I don't know how many days you will be detained.

So, let's take a shortcut. After dinner, let Leng Feng accompany you to Jingzhou to surrender. Someone there will arrange everything, and you won't suffer in there. Jingzhou will handle the matter specially and quickly. In a few days, the case will be closed and you will be acquitted."

"Ok!"

Meng Chao nodded vigorously, stood up, bowed again, then picked up the wine glass, leaned over, lowered the glass to clink it with Gao Dongxu's glass, and drank it in one gulp.

Gao Dongxu liked the ruthless and quiet style of Meng Chao. After taking a sip of wine with a smile, he said to Leng Feng, "I'll have to trouble you to make another trip."

"No problem, it's just that I've delayed my guidance and sparring with you..." Leng Feng looked at Gao Dongxu and said a little embarrassedly. If he hadn't insisted on returning to Huangque City, he wouldn't have brought back the trouble of Meng Chao to Gao Dongxu. Moreover, it was Gao Dongxu who took care of Meng Chao. Instead, he played the good guy, gained a lot of benefits, and finally left without a care.

"It's okay. After we finish dealing with it and come back, we will concentrate our time on intensive training. It's a good opportunity for him to learn from us. From now on, he will be my driver and bodyguard." Gao Dongxu smiled indifferently.

After all, he made a profit of hundreds of millions in cash, and saving Meng Chao and Wen Xiaoyu can be regarded as a return to the world of film and variety shows, and it can also be regarded as a good deed.

After eating and drinking, Leng Feng drove Gao Dongxu back to Dijingyuan, then packed his luggage, took some cash, and took the slightly drunk Meng Chao to the train station and boarded the high-speed train to Jingzhou.

As soon as he got on the high-speed train, Meng Chao fell asleep. He slept very soundly until he arrived in Jingzhou and was woken up by Leng Feng. In his words, this was the deepest, most fragrant and most comfortable sleep he had had in the past eight years.

Leng Feng understood that Meng Chao had been burdened with heavy pressure in the past, plagued by wild thoughts and unable to sleep. He was often awakened by nightmares, unable to fall asleep again. Because he was in this state now. When he closed his eyes, all he saw was Long Xiaoyun, and his dreams were filled with illusions of Long Xiaoyun being killed. He didn't know how many times he had woken from these dreams in tears, the flames of revenge in his heart growing stronger and stronger.

Now, he finally knew who his enemy was, and he saw hope for revenge. He would definitely find his enemy and kill him with his own hands to avenge Long Xiaoyun!
