Gossiping About the Brother-In-Law Who Likes Me [11]
Under the obstruction of the system, returning to Ran Qingkong naturally would not be an easy task for Chen Liguo.
But Ran Qingkong was actually more anxious than Chen Liguo. All the things that he did, he did them just so Chen Liguo would obediently come back to him.
After leaving Yue Chi, Chen Liguo started a long journey of finding a job. He didn’t dare stray too far from Ran Tongtong. Because he only had an ID card on him, he could only find a job that does not require any academic qualifications. For example, convenience stores and supermarkets, or restaurant waiters.
But as long as Chen Liguo found a job, after three days his job would be wrecked. Either someone would come to make trouble with him deliberately, or his boss would inexplicably dismiss him.
With this sort of thing happening more than once, Chen Liguo’s life took a turn for the worse.
“Boss, today Mr. Xu canceled the hotel room, I see him… It seems that he is preparing to spend the night at the park.” The reporter cautiously observed Ran Qingkong's expression and weighed his words, he said, "You see, should we… send him something?”
Ran Qingkong lowered his head and handled the doc.u.ments in his hands. When he heard the words of his subordinate, his face remained unchanged, “Let him go.”
The subordinate shuddered in the heart and carefully whispered, “But the boss, the law and order in that park is not very good…”
Ran Qingkong said, “Send a few people to guard him.”
The subordinate made a sound of disapprobation.
Ran Qingkong raised his eyes. “You worry a lot about him?”
The subordinate took a breath and hurriedly explained, “Boss, I really don’t mean that, I'm just afraid of Mr. Xu encountering an accident.” In fact, he and Xu Wenyou are nodding acquaintances. After knowing about what happened to Xu Wenyou, his heart is full of sympathy for Xu Wenyou.
“En.” Ran Qingkong sighed and said nothing.
The subordinate turned and left.
When his subordinate left, Ran Qingkong almost flipped the table. He thought gloomily about Chen Liguo’s recent situation as described by his subordinates. What echoed in his ear was Chen Liguo’s sentence: “Brother Ran, you will always be my Brother Ran.”
If it wasn't for the fact that it was midsummer, Chen Liguo would have already been dead on the streets.
He sat on a bench in the park, enduring the hara.s.sment of mosquitoes. He felt as though he was a little cabbage swaying in the cold wind. His nose felt sour and he almost cried.
Chen Liguo: “Surely it can't be that I will live here from now on?”
System: “You can still choose a fast food restaurant.”
Chen Liguo: “Why are you so skilled?”
System："……"
Chen Liguo: “Can you tell me what the supposed accident of Ran Tongtong's fate is?”
System said, “Can't.”
Chen Liguo: “Why do I feel that you are lying to me? In order to make me leave Ran Qingkong, you really use unscrupulous tactics …”
System hehe'd and simply ignored Chen Liguo.
Chen Liguo muttered a few words and only felt that he had been wronged. He had not found any work in this month, and his money was almost all used up. He was already on the streets and the worst thing was that Ran Qingkong really didn't mean to take him back……How was he supposed to live!
As time went by, there were fewer and fewer people in the park. Chen Liguo sat in a chair and gnawed on a whitewater ice stick, and the stomach that didn't eat dinner cried out "gu-gu" twice.
“It's so hungry.” Seeing that the number of people was just about gone, Chen Liguo laid on the bench. He looked at the stars above his head and feeling the temperature of the hot air, he slowly began to feel sleepy.
Chen Liguo didn’t know that after he fell asleep, someone deliberately came to see him.
Ran Qingkong silently stood not far from Chen Liguo who was curled up on the bench. He did not go over and just stood there and lit a cigarette.
Chen Liguo is really thinned down, although the clothes on his body are still clean, one could still make out a sorry figure. He was curled up on a hard wooden chair and even though he fell asleep, his brow was still slightly wrinkled.
Looking at Chen Liguo's appearance, Ran Qingkong suddenly had some doubts. Why exactly is he being so cruel to Chen Liguo? He clearly wants to pamper him, but why have things reached this point?
There were a lot of mosquitoes in the parks, and though Ran Qingkong only stood here for a while, he had already bitten a great deal of times. One can only imagine how hard it would be for Chen Liguo to sleep here for one night.
Ran Qingkong put out the smoke in his hand, turned and left.
The next day, Chen Liguo got up from his chair in a daze, feeling that his whole body was powerless. He coughed a few times before he realized that he had lost his voice.
“I feel so uncomfortable.” Chen Liguo touched his forehead and found that his forehead was so hot it would scare people.
System said, “Go to the hospital?”
Chen Liguo: “No money.”
System："……"
Don't know if it was Chen Liguo’s illusion, but he could vaguely hear a long, long sigh from System, and then it said, “Whatever you want.”
Chen Liguo’s head was a little sluggish and he didn't process what system had meant.
Chen Liguo staggered up and went to the nearby toilet to wash his cold face. He coughed and walked out. As a result, he accidentally b.u.mped into a person when he left the toilet.
"Are you blind?" The man had a very bad-tempered and blew up in fumes when Chen Liguo b.u.mped into him.
“Excuse me.” Chen Liguo had no spirit and apologized in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Not very comfortable…”
The man looked up and down at Chen Liguo with a bad look. When he saw that Chen Liguo was not in good health, his eyes showed a strange look. He said, “Oh, uncomfortable eh?”
Chen Liguo hummed vaguely and turned to leave, but the man grabbed his arm.
“Do you need me to send you to the hospital?" The person said.
“No, thank you.” Chen Liguo was very uncomfortable with this person’s gaze and tried to retrieve his arm.
“Don’t be so hasty.” The man laughed. It hurt so much when you hit me, how can you leave whenever you want?’
Chen Liguo: “…What do you want?”
The man said, “I don’t want too much, how about you just pay me five hundred dollars.”
Chen Liguo："……"
The person said, "How about it?"
Chen Liguo thought in his heart: If I have five hundred dollars, would I have met trash like you? His physical condition was not good, and even his mood was not good. He directly removed the man’s hand and said, “Not very good.”
The man sneered, “This place is so remote, there is no camera, I’m afraid that if something happened to you, no one would know right?”
Chen Liguo looked around in a blank expression and agreed, “It makes sense.”
……
Twenty minutes later, Chen Liguo left the toilet with a pale face.
His appearance was paler than when he entered the toilet and there was a bit of bruise on his chin, evidently he had a conflict with some people.
Because of the fear of being discovered by Chen Liguo, the people left by Ran Qingkong did not follow him into the toilet. Seeing that twenty minutes pa.s.sed, Chen Liguo had not come out yet. When someone could not stand it and was about to enter, they saw Chen Liguo come out with a languid look.
“What happened in the washroom?” Ran Qingkong’s subordinate saw Chen Liguo’s appearance and panicked. If Chen Liguo encountered any accident under their surveillance, his boss would tear him apart…
After Chen Liguo left, a few of those who watched over him rush into the washroom. As soon as they entered, they were shocked by the situation inside.
They found a naked man lying on the floor of the washroom with blood all over his face. He was obviously beaten.
People: “…”
“Help, help…” The man saw someone come into the toilet and cried for help. “Help me to call the police. Somebody robbed me!”
People: “…” Let’s go. We haven’t seen anything.
Chen Liguo was already poor enough to go find physical labor. As a result, he was sleepy and encountered a pillow <sup>[1]</sup> , and took three hundred dollars from that person.
Three hundred dollars! He can eat a few more days!
Chen Liguo thought as he staggered along, but the more he walked, the softer his legs felt. He didn't even reach the park before he couldn't walk anymore. In desperation, Chen Liguo stopped and sat weakly on the roadside.
Because of fever, Chen Liguo’s face was covered with cold sweat, his ears buzzed, and the scene before him changed from color to black and white. Just as Chen Liguo was about to fall, he was supported by two hands.
“Wenyou!” The dim voice sounded, and Chen Liguo vaguely distinguished who the owner of the voice was.
“It’s so uncomfortable…” The grievances of Chen Liguo’s heart finally broke out. He shrank in the man’s arms and said lowly, “I feel so uncomfortable.”
“Not uncomfortable anymore, be good, let’s go to the hospital.” Ran Qingkong picked up Chen Liguo and took a few steps towards the car parked nearby.
The car was well air-conditioned, a stark contrast to the sultry heat outside. Chen Liguo sighed comfortably and fainted completely.
When Chen Liguo woke up again, it was already night. He opened his eyes and felt that his body was sore and unbearable.
"Cough cough cough.” Involuntarily coughing, Chen Liguo found himself lying in a completely unfamiliar room, an IV drip attached to his right arm.
Before pa.s.sing out, Chen Liguo remembered that he heard Ran Qingkong’s voice. He slowly got up from the bed and saw that the dirty clothes on his body had been replaced.
System: “Hmm?”
Chen Liguo: “Was it Kongkong who saved me?”
System: “…Kongkong?”
Chen Liguo："Ran Qingkong！"
System: “… Mhmm.”
Chen Liguo: “He also helped me change my clothes?”
System: “… Mhmm.”
Chen Liguo blushed: “It's a little embarra.s.sing.”
