Although he despised those who got something for nothing, he had to leave the city quickly due to the situation.

or……

Just this once, do you want to have a taste of what it’s like to live off a rich girl?

Chapter 25: Friends from the Past

Although he planned to use his magic-strengthened body to visit all the memorable scenery, after only a few steps, Guo Linglong sadly discovered that he was really not in the mood for it. His proud mind kept reminding him that he had to leave quickly, as someone might have already followed the traces of the starlight and come here.

This possibility was not great, but he did not want to take the risk, so he walked a few steps and returned to his rental house again.

However, he couldn't enter his home because a car was parked there. The owner of the car seemed to have done it on purpose, as he parked the car in a position that just blocked the door.

"Do you have any sense of public morality, brother? Overturn the car quickly."

The Scottish Fold cat, who was unable to take a walk, immediately took out his anger on the car, but Guo Linglong shook her head and said, "This might be the car of my childhood friend in the orphanage, and he is also the son of the landlord here. However, he has been busy in other places and I haven't seen him for a long time. That kid has made a lot of progress. You can tell at a glance that this car is a good one... Could it be that he heard about the orphanage's difficulties and came here specially this time?"

Muttering to herself, Guo Linglong changed her seat, walked straight to the side, opened the half-open door, and walked in with a smile on her face.

Seeing the contractor's rare happiness, the Scottish Fold cat looked into the house with great curiosity. How could a man who could be a friend of a genius be...

ordinary?

The Scottish Fold cat looked at the man in front of him uncertainly. Apart from his better looks than his contractor, his body shape, manners and temperament were the same as those of ordinary people on the street. At most, he was richer than ordinary people, and he wore all these brand-name clothes without even the labels on them, making him look like a nouveau riche.

And this nouveau riche was sitting alone at the dining table, holding a bottle of unnamed wine and pouring it cup by cup, his eyes looking straight at Guo Linglong who came in. The Scottish Fold cat keenly caught from his eyes... a strong sense of hostility?

Aren’t these two friends friends who grew up together in an orphanage?

"Daozi, I have asked you to drink less so many times."

Guo Linglong frowned and said, "If you save the money for the wine, maybe you can..."

Snapped……

A car key was said to be thrown on the table.

"Brother, you can't buy a BMW by saving money, so you should at least stop lecturing me."

The man named Daozi looked at Guo Linglong with a half-smile and said, "You are really a troublemaker. I came here every day these few days, but you were nowhere to be seen. You didn't even reply when I called. Today I finally caught you."

"I'm sorry, I got caught up in some trouble, but it's all worked out."

Guo Linglong shrugged apologetically and said to her childhood friend, "Are you going to ask me to go eat spicy hot pot like before? It's not too late, how about we go now?"

“Are you still eating that cheap stuff?”

Daozi curled his lips and said with disdain, "And I'm not looking for you for something as boring as eating, but for another thing. Brother, I know you always treat me as a friend, but deep down I always treat you as my brother... No, my peers in the welfare home all treat you as the eldest brother, but brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Brother, you haven't paid the rent for almost seven months."

"knife……"

Guo Linglong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking in confusion: "What happened? Or are you drunk?"

"Nothing happened to me, and I wasn't drunk, it's just... I've changed."

Daozi puffed up his chest proudly and said, "I have become richer, more handsome, and more popular. I am no longer the guy you knew who could only hide behind you. Not only have all the people who came out of my welfare home changed, but you, big brother, are the only one who still stays in that shabby place. Hey, don't be angry, isn't that place too shabby? Isn't it almost being demolished?"

Guo Linglong frowned deeply... The Daozi he knew was usually submissive, but he would dare to step forward and fight with others if anyone dared to say something bad about the welfare home.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. I have to explain the reason for today's rent, otherwise... I might have to ask you to leave tonight."

As soon as Daozi finished speaking, an old man's voice rang out.

"How did you talk to your elder brother like that? He paid his rent properly, but I just used the money to buy alcohol. Guo, don't take it to heart. He was just drunk..."

The person who came downstairs was the landlord. He was angrily scolding his son and apologizing to Guo Linglong.

"Go away, old man. You can't drink. Don't you think I don't know?"

Daozi ignored his father and looked at Guo Linglong coldly, "Brother, you can't even pay a few months' rent, right? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're the worst of our generation. Look at how old you are, and you can't even pay a few months' rent..."

Snapped……

The landlord slapped the table hard, gnashing his teeth as he looked at his son who was always unforgiving, and said in great pain: "What's wrong with you? A year ago, weren't you drunk in the spicy hot pot shop with Guo? How come you become like this after you came back? When Guo used all his monthly earnings to fill the bottomless pit of the welfare home, where were you? Where were you!"

Daozi did not reply, nor did he even look at his father, but just stared at Guo Linglong... The Scottish Fold cat could feel that there was nothing but anger in the eyes of this friend of his contractor.

He was not angry because his brother had been using his house all the time, because this anger was not mixed with any impurities, no jealousy, no resentment, just pure anger. This made her even more curious. How did her contractor offend him to cause him such hardship?

"Um... as for money, is this enough?"

At this moment, a gentle female voice sounded. Daozi looked outside the door in confusion, and saw a woman who was more beautiful than many celebrities he had seen, looking at him with disdain. The next moment, a golden card appeared in her hand, and then she swung her hand, and the card flew directly towards him... However, Guo Linglong was faster. He grabbed the golden card, squeezed it into a ball without even looking at it, and then turned around and silently looked at the nosy woman in front of him.

Xia stared at Guo Linglong blankly. The cold look in the man's eyes was a rebuke, as if he was meddling in other people's business... But what did she do wrong? She was clearly trying to please him carefully and stand up for him?

"Daozi, you're right. I am indeed the most ordinary person in my generation, but... there are more than a billion ordinary people in our country. What's wrong with living as an ordinary person?"

Guo Linglong turned around, facing away from her old friend, and said calmly, "I will leave, but I won't pay you back the rent. You don't want it anyway, so just owe it to me. If we meet again in the future, I'll see whether I should pay it back or not."

While Xia was looking confused, the man turned around and forced her to leave the dull room.

There was no attempt to keep him, nor any extra emotions. Daozi just silently watched his elder brother gradually walk away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his back had been wet with cold sweat without him knowing when.

Then, a bitter laugh slowly sounded in the room.

"They say alcohol makes cowards braver, but even strong liquor can't cover up the terrifyingness of Big Brother... My little plan... has been completely seen through."

Chapter 26 A man with mysophobia

"You finally came back once, what did you do?"

The landlord looked at Guo Linglong disappearing in the distance with regret. He wanted to keep her, but he knew his tenant's character. Once he decided to leave, there was no way he could keep him. So he could only complain to his son: "When I was poor and had to send you to an orphanage, have you forgotten who protected you?"

"Of course I didn't forget it."

The knifeman kept pouring the wine mechanically and drinking it, even if the wine had already run dry, he still drank it...

"Then why are you so angry?!"

The old man raised his voice and said angrily: "I don't remember teaching you to be ungrateful!"

"Shouldn't I... be angry?"

Daozi didn't look at his furious father, but just stared at the empty porcelain cup and recited.

"Why shouldn't I be angry? Old man, do you know how angry I was when I rushed here after hearing the news about the welfare home and saw that simple room and the IOU for more than six months' rent? How could a good person end up like this?"

"I'm much better than you!"

The old man said disdainfully: "You just have a few bucks and you're showing off. Sooner or later you'll fall!"

"You think I want to show off?"

Daozi curled his lips and said with a painful look on his face: "That car is rented. It costs more than 500 yuan a day. It's a good car. But if I don't show off, this method of provoking me won't work."

"Provocation...method?"

The old man looked at his son in a daze, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Even someone like me can make a lot of money outside. If it's the big brother, he will definitely be able to break into a new world!"

Daozi angrily threw the cup to the ground and gnashed his teeth, "I don't understand, and I don't understand why my elder brother wants to stay here, wasting his time and wasting his talent. How can I not be angry when you see all this? It's all up to him! It's all up to him!"

The man looked at his elder brother walking away in confusion, then clenched his fists.

He didn't understand why his elder brother was so willing to be an ordinary person. He really didn't understand...

"So what are you worrying about?"

The landlord snorted coldly, "What's wrong with being an ordinary person? I am an ordinary person, and you are also an ordinary person. If you have the time, you might as well think about what to do about the welfare home."

"Already thought about it."

Daozi shook his head and said softly, "We brothers and sisters who came out of the welfare home have decided to give as much money as possible. I've decided to ride a bicycle instead, Fatty has decided to cancel all of his son's interest courses, Li Zi has decided to sell one of his two shops, and even Guozi, the glutton, is willing to stop eating indiscriminately. If we all save together, we should be able to get more than one million. Although it's still far from enough, but if we get together, we will definitely be able to find a way."

"Thanks a lot."

The landlord sighed, then shook his head and said, "Isn't it true that Guo is leaving like this? He doesn't even have a place to live."

"That's my goal. As long as Big Brother is willing to show his talents, a place to stay is not worth mentioning. It's better to think more about the two of us than him."

Daozi covered his stomach and said, "I just drank to give myself courage. I haven't eaten yet."

"Let me think, there should be some at home..."

"No need, let's go out and eat spicy hot pot."

Daozi looked out the door, watching the direction where the figure disappeared, with the corners of his mouth raised high.

"Now is the perfect time to eat that stuff."

--------------

Without taking anything with him, Guo Linglong took small steps and gradually moved away from the city he had never left since he was born, without looking back.

Xia Ru followed behind him like a wronged young wife, she also didn't understand...

"Don't you understand what you did wrong?"

Without even turning her head, Guo Linglong said calmly, "Your mistake is that you didn't put yourself in the right position. There is no room between him and me for a slave like you to get in. Not putting yourself in the right position is the reason you are about to be punished."

Xia opened her mouth and wanted to explain something, but in the end she swallowed all her complicated feelings back into her stomach and followed Guo Linglong silently.

"But, little brother, you have a really good temper."

The Scottish Fold cat squatting on his shoulder muttered, "Even after getting so angry, he just walked away without saying a word."

"After all, he has reasons to be angry with me, but I have no reasons to be angry back."

Guo Linglong sighed, "I am such a failure that a bunch of my younger brothers are worried about me and even feel sorry for me..."

"And you don't need to worry about others."

The Scottish Fold cat looked at Guo Linglong with amusement and said, "The miserable state of the Bullet Witch is the best reflection of your talent, but you don't have the social status that matches your talent. You even fell to the point of selling yourself for a mere five million yuan, which is almost the pocket money of your slaves for a week."

Xia pricked up her ears quietly. She also wanted to know the answer to this question...

“Is the answer so hard to figure out?”

Guo Linglong glanced at the Scottish Fold cat, then said calmly: "I don't have the talent to make real money, it's that simple."

The Scottish Fold cat was surprised and asked: "Money is money, why do we need to distinguish between serious and indecent?"

"Money obtained through illegal means...I find it dirty."

Guo Linglong paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at Xia and said, "By the way, where is your home? I happen to have nowhere to stay tonight."

Xia was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took out her phone and said, "Master, please wait a moment and I will ask."

"Emm, don't you think this is dirty?"

The Scottish Fold cat joked as he looked at the flustered Xia.

"I'm not the kind of person who sticks to principles."

Guo Linglong shrugged and said indifferently, "You can't just take a beautiful woman and lie in the park, right? Although it's not easy to say that you're eating someone's money, but... I don't think many people dare to gossip about me behind my back, don't you think, Miss Xia?"

Under the smiling gaze of the extremely devilish man in front of her, Xia couldn't help but cry out from the bottom of her heart.

This is not how you eat soft rice...

Chapter 27: The Art of Controlling Subordinates

The accommodation was quickly arranged.

Although the nearest holiday villa to Bullet Witch was two cities away, Xia, who did not dare to express her difficulties, could only use her connections to have someone buy a nearby hotel as a temporary residence within ten minutes, and then waited anxiously.

Seemingly satisfied with her work ability, the evil man did not make things difficult for her tonight. Instead, he found a room, locked the door, and then collapsed on the soft bed, ready to rest.

This really made Xia feel relieved. After all, she was at the mercy of others at this moment. No matter what Guo Linglong asked her to do, or what excessive demands she made, she had no ability to resist and could only do as she was told...

Fortunately, although the man's methods, character, and wisdom are all dark, at least his nature is kind and he is not strong...

Thinking of this, Xia covered her face with her hands, and a huge sense of panic rose from the bottom of her heart. She actually had a positive impression of the man just now. This was a precursor to Skildmore syndrome!

No! I can't go on like this! Otherwise, sooner or later, I will completely succumb to the coercion of this man, and there is nothing I can say about this!

Thinking of this, Xia made up her mind, stood up, opened the door and walked out.

The binding force of the slave contract was indeed terrifying, but it was okay for him to just go and investigate, to see the man's situation and prepare for future assassinations.

Thinking of this, the witch tiptoed and quietly moved towards Guo Linglong's room. In the adjacent room, Guo Linglong was yawning while listening to the information about Dark Eden from the Scottish Fold cat.
