Mr. Lu, Mr. Su is being coquettish again!

When Lu Fang woke up the next day, the person next to him was already up. He turned around and went downstairs. There was no one in the living room, and his slippers were still in the same spot.

Upon opening the door, he discovered that Su Nanqin had indeed kept his word, and he immediately felt a surge of anger.

In fact, he and Su Nanqin had only met a few times, let alone had each other's contact information.

He thought for a moment, found the original job posting, and discovered that there was indeed a number on it. He called, but it wasn't Su Nanqin. However, the other party agreed to send him Su Nanqin's number.

The phone rang for a full minute before the other end answered.

Before the other person could speak, Lu Fang launched into a tirade: "I'm Lu Fang! Do you even know the law?! Do you even know what illegal detention means?"

"I told you, if you come back, I'll let you out." The other person was very calm.

Lu Fanghuo rushed over: "Are you crazy? Say it again, and I'll tell those guys at the door to get out of here right now!"

"If you agree, I'll let you out," Su Nanqin said, repeating the same thing.

"What if I don't agree?"

"Then you can stay here." Su Nanqin was very unreasonable.

"You think those few good-for-nothings at your door can keep me locked up?" Lu Fang sneered.

"Then go ahead and fight."

The other party is completely unyielding.

Lu Fang swore he'd never met anyone like this in his life: "Don't push me. I don't know what you mean, but if you go too far, don't even think about signing a contract!"

Lu Fang was furious, feeling his blood churning, and hung up before the other person could even speak.

He turned around and went upstairs to wash up. When the call came in from across the street, he was changing clothes. No matter what, he was going out today.

He really didn't think those guys outside could stop him.

"I told you to get out." The voice came from the other end of the line. The speakerphone was a bit loud, and it echoed a little in the empty room.

"If you knew you couldn't trap me, why bother with this whole thing?"

"If I really want to lock you up, you won't be able to escape." The other person was very confident.

"If I really wanted to escape, you couldn't hold me back," Lu Fang retorted defiantly.

Su Nanqin didn't continue arguing with him about whether he could be locked up or not, and went on to his demand: "You have to be back tonight."

The tone left no room for refusal.

Lu Fang simply couldn't understand him and tried to reason with him: "If you really want someone to sleep with, with your looks and wealth, where can't you find one? There are tons in bars, why not just stick with a rough old man like me?"

"They can't hug me," Su Nanqin said calmly.

"What?" Lu Fang doubted that he had heard correctly once again.

"They can't hug me."

If Su Nanqin's tone hadn't been so cold and monotone, and if Lu Fang hadn't seen his icy face before, he would have almost thought the other person was being affectionate.

"Do you even know what you're saying? Don't you think it's very misleading for a grown man to say something like that?" Lu Fang tried to correct him, but Su Nanqin was straightforward, so there was no need for him to beat around the bush.

"I'm just stating the facts," Sunan Chin said matter-of-factly.

It doesn't make sense, absolutely doesn't make sense. Lu Fang buttoned up the last button, picked up his phone, and walked towards the door: "Then find someone who can hug you."

"I didn't say I didn't find it."

"Who?" Lu asked unconsciously.

"You." Su Nanqin said seriously.

……

Lu Fang took a deep breath: "Do you even understand what I'm saying? I told you to find someone else, someone else! I don't have time to play with you."

If he was still hesitant yesterday, today he's made up his mind: he can't take this job; he might just get himself into trouble someday.

"I don't care, you have to come back tonight." Su Nanqin was unmoved by reason.

Unreasonable... After hanging up the phone, Lu Fang looked at the string of numbers on his phone screen and was so angry that he wanted to smash his phone.

After all the commotion, it was already past nine o'clock when Lu Fang arrived at the store.

I forgot about all that mess after our argument this morning, but now that I'm at the store, I can't help but think about those three million and that batch of goods.

Even though he had just gone to sleep last night, seeing that batch of goods made him feel tired again. He squatted on the doorpost for a while and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

He took a deep breath, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number he hadn't made in a long time. As soon as the call connected, he immediately put on a smile: "Hey, Brother Jiang, this is Lu Fang."

Jiang Kun's voice came from the other side, amidst a bit of noise: "It's you, kid. What's up, you remembered me?"

Lu Fang took a deep breath and said, "It's like this, I wanted to ask if you're short of players lately, I'd like to play a couple of rounds."

Jiang Kun seemed to have moved to a slightly quieter place, and lowered his voice:

"What's wrong? Short of money lately? You never wanted to come before, did you? Fine, but let me make this clear beforehand: you're the most vulnerable one here. Everyone who comes here has signed a life-or-death contract, and it doesn't matter if they live or die."

Lu Fang took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled a long puff. He stared blankly at the ring of smoke for a moment before finally saying in a low voice, "Hmm. I understand."

The other side didn't say much, just said, "You understand, kid."

He finished the cigarette quickly, only snapping back to reality when the embers burned his index finger, causing a stinging sensation.

He wasn't unaware that fighting in underground boxing matches was illegal, and he knew how dangerous it was.

By the time Lu Fang finished tidying everything up at the shop, it was almost evening. As soon as he pulled down the shutter, he suddenly felt a little dazed. He looked around, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

He walked into the alley and eventually returned to his rented room. The facilities there were basic, even a bit shabby. He went to the kitchen, took out a bag of noodles he had bought a long time ago, and started cooking.

I had only eaten half of my noodles when the bell rang.

I never thought much of it before, but now, looking at that string of numbers, even the ringtone seems a bit jarring.

He neither hung up nor answered the call, took a swig of ice-cold beer, and continued slurping his noodles.

The phone rang for over a minute without hanging up. The person on the other end was quite patient, showing no sign of hanging up unless he answered.

Helpless, Lu Fang answered the call, still chewing noodles, and mumbled, "What?"

"It's nine o'clock," Su Nanqin urged him.

"And then?" Lu Fang took another rough puff, making a loud noise.

"Come back," Sunanqin ordered.

He didn't know where Su Nanqin got the audacity to issue such orders without batting an eye.

"In what capacity are you saying this?" Lu Fang felt it necessary to remind the other party.

Su Nanqin said, "Boss."

Lu Fang was so angry he almost laughed. He couldn't understand where the other person's illogical confidence came from.

"Then let's wait until it's signed before we talk about it." Lu Fang hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.

The other party didn't call again. That's how it is when you're alone; it's always a bit boring. After taking a shower, he went to bed early.

The phone rang in the middle of the night, waking Su Nanqin up. Seeing the familiar number, he immediately flew into a rage: "Do you know how awful it is to disturb someone's sleep in the middle of the night?"

"I know," the other person replied readily.

"If you know that, why are you still arguing?" Lu Fang's irritated voice rose.

This is the third time already; as they say, things shouldn't happen more than three times.

"I feel unwell." It was that same tone again, a calm tone uttered as if she were being coquettish.

"If you feel unwell, go see a doctor. Why are you coming to me? I don't know how to cure diseases!" Lu Fang lost his patience.

"My neck itches," Su Nanqin said again.

"Go to the hospital if you feel itchy!"

"don't want."

"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Fang shouted, knowing that the other party was being a bit childish and unreasonable.

His tone was unusually calm as he prepared to assign today's tasks.

Su Nanqin said with a pitiful expression, "Come back and apply the medicine for me."
