Chapter 11: Ransom!

  "My sister, my eyes are poisonous, how could I be wrong!" Chen Xiaoli was also shocked by Chen Dasheng's brute force in her heart, and she had almost let go just now. However, her psychological quality was very good, and she didn't show it, but instead let go of Chen Dasheng, smiled and said, "I think this girl is not bad, looks more beautiful than your previous one, how about it? If you're interested, my sister will do a good deed and help you matchmake?"

  Chen Daxing heard this, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and looked at Chen Xiaoli with a smile, "Sister, I didn't realize it before, but you being a fortune teller is really a waste of your talent. You should be a matchmaker instead!"

  "Little kid, you're looking for a beating!" Chen Xiaoli heard this and scolded Chen Dasheng, saying "If you really have the guts, I'd be happy to play matchmaker for you. This is a big deal that will keep our Chen family's incense burning bright! If Yuxue has many suitors, if you don't make your move quickly, someone else might snatch her away from you!"

  "My good sister, I'm still young now, you should worry about your own lifelong affairs, don't bother with mine!" Chen Daxing hugged Chen Xiaoli's shoulder and started acting cute.

  Chen Xiaoli rolled her eyes, "Ruo Xue is a very obedient girl, if you like her, then hurry up, she's a friend of my sister's who brought her over, but she's run into some trouble and can't stay here for more than a few days!"

  "She is our school's, as for that Liu Hao, I just beat him up last night!" Chen Daxing said.

  "Huh?" Chen Xiaoli's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this, "You met Liu Hao last night?"

  "Huh?"

  Chen Dasheng hesitated for a moment, chuckled and then told Chen Xiaoli about what happened last night. Of course, he didn't mention getting the Giant Spirit Tribe's inheritance, only talking about meeting Liu Xiaomin and Liu Haobiao racing cars.

  Chen Xiaoli's eyebrows relaxed after listening, and he pointed at Chen Dajie's nose, warning, "I'm warning you, don't hang out with that Liu Hao, or else I'll deal with you!"

  "Got it, sis!"

  Chen Dashi obediently responded with a "yes", he and Liu Hao were just acquaintances, it was uncertain whether they would meet again in the future, so how could he be friends with that rich second generation?

  "It's fine if you know!" Chen Xiaoli gave Chen Dabing a white eye, and said with some unease, "Liu Hao is a thoroughbred spoiled brat, sister doesn't want my precious little brother to become like that!"

  Chen Dàshèng let out a helpless sigh, Chen Xiǎolì once started nagging would not stop, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Right, sis, I have many things to ask you."

  "What? What's up? Tell me, sister will definitely help you if she can!" Chen Xiaoli said without thinking, and it was clear that her inner self was extremely doting on Chen Dasheng.

  "Last night when I met Liu Xiaomin and the others, they told me some things!" Chen Dasheng shook his head, looking into Chen Xiaoli's eyes as he spoke, "They seemed to have a lot of respect for you, sis, are you hiding something from me?"

  Chen Xiaoli heard this and slightly curved the corner of his mouth, "Didn't you always say that I cheat the gods and deceive ghosts?"

  "Ah!" Chen Dajie was taken aback, and immediately said, "I'm not joking with you, in these three years, we siblings have rarely seen each other a few times, I really don't know what you've been doing in Chengdu all these years, sister, what's going on? Tell me quickly!"

  "You little white-eyed wolf still know how long it's been since we last saw each other, and yet you don't even come to visit your sister despite living so close!" Chen Xiaoli gave Chen Dasheng a big stare, then took a deep breath and said, "If you want to know what's going on, find some free time to come look for me, I have plenty of things to ask you too. Now I need to get back to my mahjong game!"

  Having said that, Chen Xiaoli dropped Chen Daxing and turned around to walk towards the courtyard.

  "Sister, don't go! You haven't answered me yet!" Chen Dasheng hastily called out.

  Chen Xiaoli didn't even turn his head back, he just waved his hand at Chen Dashi behind him and left with an air of mystery.

  What a joke, pretending to be some kind of extraordinary being? Chen Daxing was secretly scornful in his heart. He had originally wanted to probe into the depths of this mysterious sister, but now she had simply abandoned him and run off.

  Although he didn't understand the situation, Chen Daxing at least understood one thing. When Chen Xiaoli grabbed him just now, although he didn't use his full strength, there was still a force of several hundred or thousand kilograms, and Chen Xiaoli could actually hold him firmly in place. This sister of his was indeed not simple, absolutely not as simple as the good brave fighter he had imagined before.

  ——

  "Ding Dong!"

  Just as Chen Dasheng was stunned, the most primitive and loud mobile phone ringtone came from his pocket. Chen Dasheng took out his knockoff Nokia phone with several missing keys.

  "Huh? Who is this?" The screen displaying a string of numbers, this broken phone didn't have caller ID, but he could still clearly remember the number.

  "Hey, Chen Dasheng, you damn idiot, where have you gone?"

  As soon as he pressed the answer button, a very loud and fierce female voice came from the other end of the phone, and Chen Dajun instinctively moved the phone two feet away from his ear.

  "Hey, sister, can you keep your voice down? You're deafening me!" Chen Dashi waited for the noise to stop before slowly coming back.

  "Serves you right!" Liu Yunshi's voice seemed to have some anger in it. "I called you so many times last night, why didn't you pick up?"

  "Huh!" Chen Dasheng was taken aback, "Did you call me? I didn't know, you know this broken phone of mine doesn't even have caller ID!"

  "You have many excuses, I'd say you're not man enough! Yesterday I scolded you a few times and you didn't come home all night!" The voice was still as loud and clear.

  "Hey, hey, don't talk about that man like he's not a man! Be careful or I'll prove it to you one day!" Chen Dasheng's voice suddenly rose by a decibel. Liu Yunshi was great in every way, and she looked beautiful too, but her personality was just too careless, just like a man. What really got on Chen Dasheng's nerves was that she always used the phrase "not a real man" as if it were a catchphrase, which might also be why she had never found a boyfriend.

  "Hey!" Liu Yunshi across from him was clearly annoyed by Chen Daxing's words, "Hey, asshole, where are you now?"

  Damn it! Chen Dashi couldn't help but curse in his heart, this girl must still be holding a grudge against him for what happened yesterday morning. Before, she used to call him "Dashi", now she's directly changed the way she addresses him to "bastard".

  "I'm at my sister's place, I'll be back after National Day. Anything urgent? Brother, your phone bill is expensive!" Chen Dasheng replied neatly.

  As soon as the words fell, Liu Yunshi retorted in a bad tone, "Who cares when you come back? It's best to die outside. I'm not looking for you because I have something to do with you, it's your friend who has something to do with you!"

  "My friend? What friend?" Chen Dashi was taken aback. In this land of Chengdu, he really didn't have many friends.

  "What's with that big fatty, you call him Guo Hui or something!" Liu Yunshi said.

  "Guo Hui?"

  Guo Hui was his classmate and one of the few people who got along with him, their friendship was established when they slept on the desk in the last row.

  "What does he want from me?" Chen Dabai was somewhat puzzled as to why Guo Hui wanted him to call Liu Yunshi.

  "He lost money playing cards and was detained by others, so they asked you to bail him out! He said your cell phone is unreachable, so he called our home!" Liu Yunshi said.

  "Lost money playing cards? How much did you lose?" Chen Dashi's face twitched.

  "How would I know? Anyway, she was crying hysterically on the phone!" Liu Yunshi replied impatiently.

  Chen Dàshèng furrowed his brow. This kid didn't even say how much money he lost, so how could he take the money to bail him out?

  "Where is he now?" Chen Dashi asked after a moment of thought.

  "Hurry up and go to Rongxiang Teahouse on Duizi Lane, or he'll be done for!" Liu Yunshi dropped the sentence and directly hung up the phone.

  "Damn it!"

  Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Chen Dashi's facial expression was very colorful. Guo Hui liked playing cards and his skills were not bad either, which was well-known in the class. However, it used to be just a small gamble for fun, but this time he actually got caught and lost a significant amount of money.

  Guo Hui can be considered as Chen Dashi's sworn brother, and he has helped Chen Dashi many times before. Now that Guo Hui is in trouble, whether it's true or not, Chen Dashi should help him out.

  Put down the phone, Chen Dashi's first thought was to go find Chen Xiaoli to borrow money. Just taking a step out, he stopped again, because he felt that he really couldn't open his mouth, even if he really opened it, his sister would definitely scold him severely for borrowing money to help someone pay off gambling debts.

  After hesitating for a while, Chen Dabai turned his head and walked towards the front yard of Sister Fang's house. No matter what, he would go take a look first and then decide. No matter what the other person's background was, as long as he himself was there, he definitely wouldn't let anyone touch a hair on Guo Hui's head.

  "Hey, where are you going? Lunch is almost ready!"

  A soft voice came from behind Chen Dashi, and when he turned around, it was Han Ruoxue.

  "I have something to attend to, you eat by yourself when the food is ready!" Chen Dasheng threw out a sentence and ran off directly.

  Han Ruo Xue pouted, a hint of disappointment flashing across her pretty face. She had been busy for so long, working hard to cook lunch, but no one was there to taste it.

  ——

  Duozixiang is not far from Wenshu Temple, Chen Dasheng came out of Wenshu Street, hailed a taxi, and soon arrived at the entrance of Duozixiang.

  "What? You're here too?" As soon as he got off the car, Chen Dajun saw Liu Yunshi carrying a bag and standing under the shade of a tree by the road, looking around cautiously.

  "Can you come, but I can't? Let me see how you're being beaten up, isn't that possible?" Seeing Chen Dashieng, a smile with profound meaning flashed across Liu Yunshi's face.

  Yesterday morning's events, now thinking about it, Liu Yunshi still has a breath of air. Yesterday, she checked her body at home and fortunately, everything that should be there was still there, which made her feel relieved, but the resentment towards Chen Dasheng in her heart still lingered.

  Today, I found out that Chen Dashi's brother was caught by someone and they want Chen Dashi to come and rescue him. What a great opportunity to see Chen Dashi make a fool of himself! Maybe I'll even get to see Chen Dashi get beaten up!
