Mindful

Ying Xiaoqiong took Qiao Yuanlin to find an empty table, and sat down. He shook his legs, seeing Qiao Yuanlin was stunned, so he trembled so much that his whole body trembled.

Qiao Yuanlin frowned and asked, "Are you really the manager?"

"Why, do you really think I'm a big brother?" Ying Xiaoqiong said, "This food stall is owned by my sister, and I'm the manager. Do you understand the family business?"

Qiao Yuanlin still had doubts: "Then what about your subordinate, the thug who jumped out of the window to catch me."

Ying Xiaoqiong thought for a while: "Thug? You mean the fourth child?"

Inside the canopy was the hot kitchen, Ying Xiaoqiong raised her hand to the corner of her mouth, and shouted inside, and soon, the fourth child appeared through the crowd.

Completely different from the previous vicious image, the fourth child is now wrapped in a long apron, wearing rubber gloves, and holding a large gauze net in his hand. He is completely a hardworking working people.

He yelled: "I'm busy catching crabs for table NO.19, what are you calling me for?"

Qiao Yuanlin was dumbfounded, the thug he thought was actually a waiter?

"See?" Ying Xiaoqiong said eloquently, "The fourth child is an expert, responsible for purchasing and selecting seafood. His father sells aquatic products, his grandfather is the captain of a fishing boat, and his ancestors were once Pirates of the Caribbean."

Qiao Yuanlin: "..."

Ying Xiaoqiong: "Do you believe me now?"

Qiao Yuanlin wanted to figure out the most important thing, and asked, "What's the situation on Linghai Island? What do you mean by being brave?"

Ying Xiaoqiong said: "It's useless to inquire, let's consume first."

Qiao Yuanlin almost forgot that he was here for dinner, and said, "One serving of shrimp risotto, plus a box of soy milk."

Ying Xiaoqiong hesitated for a moment, Liang Cheng ordered only a handful of orders, and he had the impression: "One time Liang Cheng was here, and before he left, he packed risotto and soy milk, could it be for you?"

Qiao Yuanlin finally understood the reason why Liang Chenger delivered it in 10 minutes, he said eagerly: "I ordered it, can you tell me?"

After half a month, Ying Xiaoqiong said, "It's okay to tell you—"

"We caught a pair of brothers on the island, Liu Yi and Liu Gang. Those two brothers cheated tens of millions in Pinghai City, and they will run away from Linghai on the 28th."

Qiao Yuanlin asked in surprise, "Are they liars?"

Recalling the day when the incident happened, Liu Yi and Liu Gang's reaction to the police was indeed intriguing. Qiao Yuanlin felt strange at the time, but did not think carefully.

He asked: "Cheating so much money, is it illegal fundraising?"

Ying Xiaoqiong said with a smile: "Do you still know about illegal fundraising?"

However, it is more immoral than illegal fundraising. In his early years, Liu Yi ran a small business, opened an Internet cafe, and rented a hotel on a daily basis. In the past two years, he has transformed himself into a cultural person and opened a tutoring institution.Liu Gang is the driver, driving for the leaders in the Education Bureau.

Now that the competition is fierce, parents hope that their children can go to a good school. If the scores are not enough, they are willing to pay high school selection fees in exchange for an admission spot.

But the policy is very strict, and even if you have money, you can't do it, and take the No. [-] Middle School, which is the most difficult to get into, as long as you don't have enough scores, you can avoid everything.

Liu Yi took advantage of the needs of the parents, falsely claiming that the Education Bureau has connections and can get a limited number of admission places, and partnered with Liu Gang to defraud the school selection fee.The price ranges from tens of thousands to 10,000+ for elementary school, and as high as 40 for high school.

Ying Xiaoqiong glanced at the famous tag on Qiao Yuanlin's body, fearing that the young master would not understand the sufferings of the world, and said, "Don't think it's too small, the half-life savings of an ordinary family will be gone."

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yuanlin considered a more serious aspect and said: "It's not just about money. Those parents believe him and think that paying money will get them done. When other schools miss registration, their children will not be able to go to school. "

Ying Xiaoqiong said: "There are many such people."

Qiao Yuanlin asked, "Did you call the police?"

"Of course." Ying Xiaoqiong replied, "However, there are too many victims involved in the case. From discovering that they were deceived, to establishing contact with each other, and then to jointly reporting to the police and filing a case, Liu Yi and Liu Gang have long since disappeared."

Qiao Yuanlin said, "Since you have reported to the police, how did you get involved?"

Ying Xiaoqiong said: "You are still young, and you don't understand the feeling of being cheated of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, let alone the anger of children who have not studied. These parents will do everything possible to find the liar."

Qiao Yuanlin: "So..."

"That's why they found me." Ying Xiaoqiong patted her chest, "Everyone pays a little money and entrusts me to capture Liu Yi and Liu Gang for a fee."

The question went back to the original point, Qiao Yuanlin asked in confusion: "You are just the manager of the food stall, why did you entrust it to you?"

Ying Xiaoqiong replied: "My main business is catering, and my side business requires debts. As long as the money is in place, I can find out the gods and goblins on the ground in Pinghai for you."

Qiao Yuanlin was in shock for a long time.

Ying Xiaoqiong leaned on the back of his chair and said in a low voice, "Call the police first, and then issue a private arrest warrant. This is called cooperation between the police and the people. If you don't call the police that day, we will bring Liu Yi and Liu Gang back to the city, and we will also send them to the police." bureau."

Qiao Yuanlin murmured: "Because of you..."

"Well, it's really like a gang fight, a bit violent. Let's take it out on the people who have been deceived. Besides, Liu Gang has already pulled out a fruit knife, so it's hard to talk to him."

Qiao Yuanlin seems to have strayed into a strange land. The people and events here have a strong sense of the world in the rich fireworks.

He couldn't help but panic, the fruit knife was not Liang Cheng's, and the incident on the 28th was not kidnapping and extortion, the truth he thought was quite different from the truth.

But it was getting late, too late.

Qiao Yuanlin's brain and head rusted away in an instant, becoming stiff and hard, and his eye sockets were also dry.He opened his eyes blankly, looking at the lake and the white jade railings, the colorful string lights and draft beer barrels, and the oily and drunken faces.

Suddenly, he saw a motorcycle parked in a corner.

Qiao Yuanlin seemed to have been scalded, his hands pressed against his knees turned into fists, and his joints turned white. The question he had when he saw Ying Xiaoqiong squeezed out from between his teeth, and he couldn't help but pursed his lips.

"Liang Cheng...is he here?"

Ying Xiaoqiong replied: "He's not here, and I don't want the car anymore."

Qiao Yuanlin looked around the crowd, the more he couldn't find it, the more he didn't believe it: "You are friends, if you are here, then he must be there."

Ying Xiaoqiong muttered: "Who's food stall hires top students, it's a waste of money."

Qiao Yuanlin didn't hear clearly, he scanned everyone anxiously, but everyone was not Liang Cheng, he comforted himself and thought of the best, saying: "Liang Cheng, go home."

Ying Xiaoqiong said, "How can he have a family?"

Qiao Yuanlin was slapped on the face by this sentence, and he asked, "Can you tell me where he went?"

"Okay." Ying Xiaoqiong said, "Wechat will help you ask later."

Qiao Yuanlin could hear the other party teasing him, but he could only bear it.He misunderstood first, and he was aggressive first. At this moment, the afterthought is useless except to alleviate his guilt.

He left the food stall, and the packaged risotto and soy milk were hot and cold, like his flustered nerves.

The taxi left the night market far away and slid into the commercial street. The bustling traffic continued endlessly. Qiao Yuanlin was stunned halfway, and his face, which was pillowed against the window, was full of radiance.

The mobile phone rang from time to time, and the spring outing started tomorrow, and the students chatted enthusiastically in the group.

Qiao Yuanlin set the group message to "Do Not Disturb", and the world became quieter.He stared at the head of the prickly pear in the list, stretched out his hand, hesitating, as if he was really afraid that a thorn would pierce it.

After two streets for so long, he clicked on Liang Cheng's avatar, and when typing, he was so guilty that he almost couldn't understand Chinese pinyin.

Qiao Yuanlin: Where did you move?

Press send, the sentence is preceded by a red icon.The software system prompted that the other party rejected his message.

Liang Cheng has deleted him.

Qiao Yuanlin looked out the window in bewilderment, the familiar streets, Laohu Sichuan cuisine flashed by, the taxi turned to Changlin Street, convenience store, Wuji breakfast, there were still some memories left in the places he passed.

He got out of the car, went straight to the pole, and tore off the advertisement covering Superman's QR code.

In the dark, there was a star of orange fire, which suddenly went out.The black shadow leaned against the wall and turned from the alley to the street, exhaled the last puff of smoke, and at the same time looked back at the back of Qiao Yuanlin who was scanning the QR code.

Liang Cheng was reading a book in the hotel room, his phone vibrated, and the incoming call showed an unfamiliar local number.

He connected: "Hello?"

"Liang Cheng." It was Cheng Liye.

Liang Cheng closed the book and guessed very accurately: "Are you squatting on me again?"

Cheng Liye walked on the street: "I didn't squat down, I got out."

Liang Cheng said: "There is no need to waste your time."

Cheng Liye was silent for a while, and said, "You kid is not procrastinating at all, you ran away so quickly."

Liang Cheng looked gloomy and said, "I'm not guilty, and there's no need to run away."

"I didn't mean that." Cheng Liye explained to him out of his habit of using words, "I mean, you moved?"

Liang Cheng knew Cheng Liye's principles and would not use his authority to investigate his information at will. He replied: "Yes, so don't look for me again."

Cheng Liye felt exhausted and helpless, and compromised in the wind: "Liang Cheng, I didn't tell your mother, I didn't say a word, and she wouldn't take the initiative to come to me. I promise, I promise I won't bother you again, you Settling down, okay?"

Liang Cheng twirled the curled foot of the book and flattened it vigorously, but it rebounded and curled more severely.A page can be so stubborn, let alone a person.

He didn't speak, Cheng Liye called a few times: "Liang Cheng... Liang Cheng, where have you moved? Are you still in Pinghai?"

With a distressed tone piercing his ears, Liang Cheng instinctively moved the phone away and hung up. He didn't want to answer any more calls, so he simply turned off the phone.

The next morning, a broken Jinbei parked in front of the hotel, Liang Cheng checked out, the window was lowered, Ying Xiaoqiong waved to him.

There are two other people in the rear compartment, one is the fourth child, and the other is Ying Xiaoyu, a charming beauty who is famous all over the street.

The car was heading towards the train station, Liang Cheng said, "Sister Yu, you are here too."

Ying Xiaoyu said: "Xiao Qiong said that you are leaving, and we will see you off together. What are your plans for the future?"

Liang Cheng replied, "I haven't thought about it."

"You are a person with ideas." Ying Xiaoyu said, "You are different from us, and you will have a bright future."

Liang Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth lightly. In the current situation, he hadn't imagined the so-called future and future, so as not to wake up from the daydream and only be left with emptiness.

Ying Xiaoyu took out a red envelope and said: "If you don't want any more, just 200 yuan, and you can buy lunch and snacks on the train, just treat me as a sister and accept it honestly."

Liang Cheng said: "Thank you, Sister Yu."

The fourth child said: "When I go to a new place, I will keep in touch with you. I will visit you next time I travel."

"Okay." Liang Cheng said, "but don't dress like a bucket of soybean paste."

The fourth child suddenly unbuttoned his belt, very emotionally: "You reminded me, you just said you were leaving last night, and I didn't have time to buy you a gift. Brother gave you this belt, it's from Louis Vuitton!"

Liang Cheng said, "Keep it for yourself."

Ying Xiaoqiong had been concentrating on driving. When he arrived at the train station, he saw the right time to overtake a bus and seized the only remaining space in the temporary parking area.

The bus slammed on the brakes, and the driver honked his horn angrily, but failed, so he had to find a parking space again.

The students in the car fell forward collectively, Qiao Yuanlin's head hit the back of the chair in front, and he woke up.He stayed up until 03:30 with his mobile phone last night, and now he is so sleepy that he wants to change to a sleeper berth.

Temporary parking cannot be parked for a long time, Ying Xiaoqiong did not turn off the engine, and looked back at Liang Cheng.

Liang Cheng grabbed his backpack and said goodbye briefly: "Brother Ying, take care."

"Take care of yourself." Ying Xiaoqiong said, "Call me when you arrive."

Liang Cheng pulled the door open, Ying Xiaoqiong stopped him, and asked, "I almost forgot, what's the name of your very good-looking little landlord?"

Liang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "Qiao Yuanlin."

"It's a coincidence that classmate Xiao Qiao went to the food stall for dinner yesterday, and I told him about the island."

Liang Cheng glanced at his watch, it didn't matter, he was leaving.

After getting out of the car, Liang Cheng walked towards the ticket checking hall. The phone was still off, so he took it out and turned it on, and then WeChat rang impatiently.

It was news from ten hours ago——

"Eating, Well, and Fragrance" applied to add you as a friend.

The reason for the verification was round and round to the point of the eighteenth bend of the mountain road, and it was written: That answer is a multiple-choice question of B, can you tell me about it?
