Chapter 175 Inconvenient

Actually,

Zhou Ze had really thought about it;

Since Ying’er was here,

Maybe,

He shouldn't go?

The image of a brave warrior fighting a dragon to save the princess was certainly beautiful, but as the old Taoist had said, the princess's skills were far inferior to those of the big sister.

People are selfish, and Boss Zhou never denied that. In fact, many heroes in history were heroes not because of what they had thought, but because of what they had done.

That was the fundamental difference between a hero and a keyboard warrior.

Who said heroes weren't afraid to die before going up? Perhaps they had also thought about retreating and running away.

If it was this bookstore, since it had been losing money all along, wouldn't it be okay to just let it go?

What was it called again, cutting losses in time?

He had been operating at a loss for so long to promote the literary atmosphere of South Street; shouldn't he let someone else take over?

Of course,

These were just thoughts.

Zhou Ze knew that he had a serious collecting habit, and his background in his previous life had made him "poor"-phobic.

The team he had painstakingly built, the subordinates he had gathered, the living environment he had maintained,

Would all be lost at once?

His heart,

Ached so much he couldn't breathe.

Xu Qinglang didn't hesitate at all. He packed up some things and drove his car out directly.

Old Xu's car had been written off in the explosion last time, and he had just replaced it with a Changan Mazda SUV, worth about two hundred thousand.

He had originally wanted to buy a luxury car. He had chatted with Attorney An about cars for a long time on the way to Yunnan, and Ying'er had joined in.

But recently, housing prices in Nantong had started to fall,

Twenty-odd houses,

Calculating the theoretical losses on paper, Old Xu had lost a Maserati.

So, he lowered his standard for buying a car and switched to this one.

But in Old Xu's words, he had full confidence in housing prices and believed that they would rise back up in a matter of minutes.

He could always buy another one then.

The car stopped in front of him. Zhou Ze habitually opened the door, got in, and sat in the back seat with his eyes closed.

Ying'er also got into the car and sat next to Zhou Ze.

"Baidu Maps continues to navigate for you. In foggy weather, please turn on your fog lights..."

The warriors had set off!

………………

Old Zhang was very anxious now because he realized that no matter how he turned, he couldn't get out of this floor. He also understood that he must have encountered something like a ghost wall.

At this moment, Old Zhang felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

No matter where you are, in what group, if you are the one holding everyone back, even if the smile on your face is bright, it's just your protective coloration.

Old Zhang was depressed.

He really wanted to jump down from here,

But he knew that he wasn't a "superman" like the boss,

Most importantly,

What was the point of jumping down?

Successfully breaking through the ghost wall, only to fall to his death?

It sounded really stupid.

Old Zhang sat down on the steps,

His cell phone still had no signal.

He pursed his lips,

And sighed.

Actually, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about learning something; he wasn't like Zhou Ze, that salted fish.

Back then, Little Loli had intended to tell Zhou Ze some methods for ghost servants to cultivate,

But Zhou Ze directly covered his ears,

Refusing to listen.

Old Zhang was an ambitious person.

He was willing to learn some ghost servant skills while fulfilling his duties as a police officer, even if it was just a smattering.

He told Zhou Ze about this idea,

But Zhou Ze directly rejected it.

Because Boss Zhou knew that many of the ghost servants' abilities could indeed be cultivated later, but everyone's initial value came from hell.

Zhou Ze himself had only taken a shallow trip to hell, without cruel pressure or torture. Old Zhang was even more useless than him because, due to his own reasons, Old Zhang had never gone to hell at all.

Unless you let Old Zhang become a ghost and follow the path of ghost cultivation, but that would inevitably involve using some unscrupulous means.

So, Boss Zhou's opinion was,

Old Zhang,

Just continue to be "beautiful as a flower,"

Be a good people's police officer,

And we won't bother you with anything else.

The love between the police and the people was perfectly interpreted in the bookstore.

"Feeling helpless?"

The old man's voice came from behind Old Zhang.

Old Zhang turned around and looked at the old man. He was a little nervous, but not flustered.

The old man sat down on the steps next to Old Zhang on his own,

After a long time,

He said in a muffled voice:

"You're a good cop."

Old Zhang actually felt a little flattered. He knew something about Xu Qinglang's master, so he had a deep sense of dread towards the man in front of him.

"You're not blind, and you don't pretend to be blind. I can see it, and I'm very gratified."

Old Zhang hesitated. Since someone was praising him so much, should he say "thank you"?

"Don't say thank you. I'm going to kill you, so you don't need to thank me."

"Oh." Old Zhang nodded, feeling enlightened, and sat up straight again next to the old man.

"Tell me, if everyone in this world was like you, not blind, how great would that be?"

"That's very difficult."

"Yes, it's difficult, so I want to die, but it's difficult."

So,

Are you showing off?

"Even in my previous life, I actually compromised, was smooth, and had accidents. What I insisted on was just my last bottom line.

It's only in this life,

That I've already died once,

And I'm a lone wolf anyway,

So, I don't have any scruples, and I don't have anything to fear. That's how I can live comfortably and freely."

"You're barefoot and not afraid of those who wear shoes, but in reality, those who stand higher and higher will become more and more concerned, more and more reluctant to lose their own interests, and more and more likely to pretend to be blind.

The Emperor's New Clothes,

This fairy tale,

Has actually never changed from ancient times to the present."

"So, is that why you appeared?"

"I don't know. Maybe it is.

This hospital is the source of filth and dirt, but what's dirty is dirty, and it can't be cleaned.

Just like people are people, ghosts are ghosts, and demons are demons, clearly separated.

Only when someone pretends to be blind can it spread step by step like sewage.

The more people who pretend to be blind,

The larger the area of this pool of sewage."

The old man stood up,

Shook his leg,

And said:

"Your boss and the others are here. I have to greet them."

"Oh, okay."

"I really don't want to kill you. I admire you."

"Um..."

"If everyone could be like you, I would have died a long time ago."

"Um..."

"But I still have to kill you. I'm a petty person who holds grudges."

"Okay..."

"By the way, do you know how I died last time?"

Old Zhang shook his head.

But he probably knew that that person should have made a move, but that person was now asleep.

"Then I won't make things difficult for you."

The old man didn't say anything else and walked down the stairs.

Old Zhang got up and wanted to follow him down,

Then he walked back to the seventh floor from the seventh floor again.

………………

In the fountain pool at the entrance of the hospital, a woman was lying down, her body submerged in the water.

When the old man passed by her,

The woman's gaze turned to the old man.

"Do you hope I win, or do you hope I lose?"

Officer Chen narrowed his eyes.

If he won,

His mission would be over,

And the person who destroyed his clone back then would probably die.

But Old Zhang,

Would also have to die.

"You're still hesitating."

The old man glanced at Officer Chen disdainfully,

And hummed:

"Alright, you can continue to pretend to be blind."

The old man flicked his sleeves and continued to walk forward. At the gate, there were no security guards in the gatehouse, so the SUV drove straight in.

When the person driving saw the old man standing there,

He stepped on the gas pedal.

The old man took a deep breath,

Raised his foot,

And stepped forward.

"Squeak..."

A harsh rubbing sound came,

The car with the gas pedal floored,

Was forcibly stopped under the old man's foot.

"Disciple, if you had had this disposition earlier, would I have needed to kill your parents?"

Xu Qinglang smiled,

Took his hands off the steering wheel,

And pointed to his face,

"My fault?"

The old man nodded in agreement,

"Yes, you see, you should be able to feel your own progress. You're my best heir. With a little effort, you can rise up.

By the way,

Is there still a small snake sealed in your body?

Not bad,

Significant progress!

Disciple,

Master, I suddenly don't want to kill you this time,

Master feels that,

If I kill all the people who partnered with your friend to open a store this time,

And give you some encouragement,

Under the impetus of this encouragement and Master's care,

When Master comes back next time,

I can still see your great progress,

Ah,

Just thinking about it makes life feel promising!"

Xu Qinglang smiled.

"There are two more people in the car, right?

Can I ask,

Is the person who killed me last time,

Also in the car?"

At this moment,

The car door was pushed open from the inside,

Ying'er stepped out,

Reached out and placed her hand on the door frame,

Zhou Ze bent down,

Came out from inside,

Stood on the ground,

With a cigarette in his mouth,

And looked at the old man in front of him with a look of calmness mixed with disdain and annoyance,

As if looking at a piece of... taffy.

"It's you?" the old man asked.

"It's... me..."

"You really killed me last time?"

"See...ms...you...don't...learn...your...lesson..."

Xu Qinglang looked at Zhou Ze in surprise,

And silently asked with mouth movements:

"He, he's awake?"

Zhou Ze exhaled a smoke ring,

Smiled,

And said:

"Am I not allowed to cheer myself on and boost my morale?"

"..." Xu Qinglang.

The old man frowned and said, "Why don't I believe it?"

Both sides took a fighting stance,

Ready to strike at any moment.

And at the entrance of the hospital,

A little girl walked over, skipping and jumping with her schoolbag on her back.

Zhou Ze turned his head and looked at her, saying:

"Why are you here?"

Little Loli stopped,

She thought of what that stinky fox had said to her that night,

And answered very seriously:

"Shit, should be eaten while it's hot!"
