my old life

Chapter 2478

Not sure what Mike was thinking or what his plans were, but I've been pushed to the brink.

Let me take down an opponent I have never met, a powerful betrayer, to put it bluntly, let me be cannon fodder.

Some things don't need to be said by others, as long as you observe carefully, you can be clear. I am Mike's pawn...

"Hawkeye, ask your friends for news about Mr. Hou. He has a close cooperative relationship with the whale shark. You know what I mean."

"OK, I will try my best." I agreed with a smile, and turned my head back to the room with a very heavy heart.

When I got back to the room, the cold sweat on my body was still not dry, and my mood was extremely bad, but I couldn't show it.

"Mr. Ming, you're back. Would you like something to drink?" Li Xiaorou approached cautiously, as if afraid that I would still ask her to smoke a cigar.

"A cup of coffee, thanks." I fumbled for a cigarette and lit it, taking a deep breath to calm myself.

It is impossible for me to show any dissatisfaction or emotion, because Li Xiaorou is just an eye, an eye when Mike is not by my side...

After drinking some coffee, I feel extremely bitter. I don't know if it's because the coffee is too bitter, or because my mouth is too bitter.

"Xiao Rou, go and add some sugar to me."

"Already added."

"Give me a little more, will you?"

"Okay." Li Xiaorou added some more sugar, which seemed to be quite a lot, but it still tasted bitter.

I know I'm in a bad mood today, and eating something sweet will help ease my mood. Before I ask my second uncle, everything is still unknown.

In fact, taking a step back, if the whale shark cannot be found, then there is no such thing as killing him, let alone making him an enemy...

I hope the whale sharks are not found so I don't get involved in this mess, that's the best outcome for me!

"Xiaorou, go out and buy me some cigarettes, try to get thin ones, mint flavor."

"Where can I buy it?"

"I don't buy it from me anyway, understand?" I rolled my eyes, showing an impatient look.

This is an excuse I deliberately made to keep her away. I have ears even through walls, and I also know the truth of preventing problems before they happen.

I habitually walked into the bathroom and turned on the faucet. With the sound of running water, I took out my mobile phone and called my second uncle.

Now I can only find him to understand Mr. Hou, and hope he can give me the news I want.

"Hello? Are you an idiot?" Second Uncle's voice came from the other end of the phone, still giving people a feeling of being out of tune.

"It's me. I want to ask my second uncle about someone."

"Who? I'm still busy here!" The second uncle's tone was very disapproving, as if he was very busy, but according to the time calculation, he should not be busy now.

When Atlantic City is at night, it should be daytime at Xiaomengla. How busy are the casinos in broad daylight?
"Who are you going to ask? Don't say I'm dead!"

"Zhongcheng, Mr. Hou." I whispered in a low voice, wondering if my second uncle had heard about this person.

"What are you going to do?" Second Uncle's tone calmed down instantly, feeling that he knew him, otherwise he wouldn't have such a big reaction.

"Second Uncle, have you ever heard the name of a whale shark?"

"No." The second uncle answered simply and neatly. I think whale sharks should have many names, and people in different places call him different names.

This kind of routine is very common among scammers. A name will not be used for too long in order to avoid attracting enemies.

"Then what about Mr. Hou?"

"What did you ask him for?"

As soon as I heard this, I knew that my second uncle knew him, but I didn't know what kind of person he was, and I was a little uncertain.

"I can't explain a sentence or two. I want to know what kind of person he is." I didn't explain anything, and I knew that even if I explained, I couldn't explain it clearly.

"Speak slowly if you can't explain clearly, everything can be explained clearly, I have time!" The second uncle's tone was very firm, and he felt as if he was facing a major event.

I told the story before and after, and now I don't know whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, and everything is unknown before we meet.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and the second uncle didn't answer anything, but I could hear his breathing.

I don't know what the second uncle is thinking about, so I wait patiently.

"Sanming, you can't afford to offend Mr. Hou, so don't go there no matter what." The second uncle's words were so firm that my heart instantly rose to my throat!

"Second uncle, I have to go..." I said helplessly, this is not something I can decide, nor is it my own choice.

After Mike has helped me so much, I must repay him. I have thought of various ways to repay, and now everything is in front of me.

"You really can't go this time! Listen to me, you can't go no matter what!"

"Second Uncle, you used to say that a drop of water should be reciprocated. Mike has helped me so much. This is my chance to repay him."

What I said was very relaxed, and I didn't mean any reluctance, because that would only make my second uncle more worried about me.

"I know your thoughts and concerns. You don't have to leave everything here in Little Mengla. I'll pack up and let's leave together!"

"Ah?" I was surprised that the second uncle would have such a reaction, which surprised me very much.

I just asked about the details of Third Master Hou, and Second Uncle had such a big reaction, as if I was bound to die...

"Sanming, didn't you often persuade me to quit the arena before? If you lose money, you can earn more, but if you lose people, you will lose everything!"

"Second Uncle, can you tell me what kind of person Hou Sanye is?"

"Hands and eyes are open to the sky, it's not as simple as you imagine!" The second uncle said extremely firmly, with a hint of jealousy in his tone.

"How does he compare with Prince Long?" I found a reference for comparison. Prince Long is the strongest opponent I have ever faced, bar none.

"Prince Dragon can't be compared with Lord Hou!"

Hearing this, I secretly swallowed my saliva. How strong should a boss who is one level higher than Prince Long be?
Before that, the strongest person I knew in China was Prince Long, because my structure was not at that level, so I didn't know what the world above was like.

As the saying goes, there are mountains beyond mountains. I am not surprised that someone is stronger than Prince Long, but I am just surprised that the person I will face is so powerful.

Fortunately, it is still not sure whether it is an enemy or a friend. Maybe things are not so bad, maybe they will not stand on the opposite side...

"Sanming, I know your situation and difficulties, don't say anything, pack your things and let's go!"

"Is it true that you don't want everything about Little Mengla?" I asked in surprise. It was not only my own effort, but also the second uncle's effort!
We finally gained a foothold in Xiaomengla, and we have gone through untold hardships to get to where we are today. Do we just give up if we say we give up?
"I really don't want it! I have already reserved a way out, let's find a place where no one knows us, even the king of heaven and I can't find us!"

The second uncle directly backed off, not even intending to wait any longer, which was completely unlike his usual style.

"Second Uncle, it's not certain whether it's an enemy or a friend. Let's not rush to leave!"

"You don't know how cruel that person is. He even killed his own cronies! You never know when he will kill someone!"

What the second uncle said was very excited, and I heard another meaning in the words!
Not only did he know Mr. Hou, he probably also had a relationship with him, otherwise he would definitely not be what he is now!

Can make the second uncle who is not afraid of the heavens and the earth be afraid of him like this, but I want to know who is this third master Hou?

"Second Uncle, even if we turn our backs, don't we have any chance of winning?"

"No! You don't know the meaning of hands and eyes, and you don't know anything about strength!" The second uncle's tone was very excited, and I secretly swallowed.

To be honest, I've never seen my second uncle so cowardly when I was in the rivers and lakes, and I've never seen him be afraid of anything... All of this gave me a blow in the head!
"Then what should I do now?"

"Find a chance to go back to Xiaomengla, and I will arrange for you to escape."

"Don't we really want everything? We still don't know if we are friends or foes, maybe we will become friends."

"No more, nothing is more important than life, no matter whether it is an enemy or a friend, don't take chances!"
