Chapter 280: Neighbors.
Xiao Zhiyuan stayed and chatted for a while before returning to the farm.
Dried potatoes, peanuts, baked rolls … There were many local products in the house. Grandma and Grandpa brought many and put them in Xiao Lou’s room.
After tidying up the room, Xiao Luo stood by the window with a cup of hot tea.
Outside was dark, drizzling and quiet, so peaceful. At this time a surreal feeling came over Xiao Luo, as if what he experienced in Jiang City was just a dream. Protecting Chu Yue, becoming the boss of Luo fang, destroying the Dragon gang… Everything, at the moment was very unreal.
It was like two different worlds!
One that was full of killing, cheating in shopping malls and the cunningness of the dark forces, just like a wonderful drama. But, now it was back to being an ordinary real life!
“Ding ding ding ~”
A monotonous mobile phone ringtone rang.
Xiao Luo’s eyes were on the black mobile phone on the desktop. The caller ID was a series of ***** numbers. He knew that this was Zhang Gu’s NASA number. The mobile phone was also equipped with NSA’s system. It was specially customized by “8848”. The special line was used during the call, which ensured the confidentiality of the call and could never be eavesdropped.
Without face recognition and fingerprints, the mobile phone could not be unlocked. Not only it did not have any function of a mobile phone, even the most basic feature like a call could not be made.
“Mie, your contact has set out, code name is ‘Night Bird’, and she should be able to rendezvous with you the day after tomorrow.” Zhang Gu’s majestic voice sounded.
[Mie=destroy, mie sounds cooler]
Xiao Luo nodded, “I see.”
“There is one more thing I must tell you. We NSA sent undercover agents to Blackwater to take back information. Khun Sa, one of Blackwater’s top leaders, has learned your basic information. He is very angry about your destruction of the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group. He has sent his ‘Cobra Mercenary Group’ to infiltrate our country secretly. Their task is to eradicate you at all costs.” Zhang Gu said.
Cobra Mercenary Group? !
Xiao Luo’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a new cold light leaped from the depths of his eyes, “It’s okay, I’ll kill as many as they come!”
This light-hearted attitude made Zhang Gu who was at the other end of the phone felt stunned, he then said, “The Cobra Mercenary Group has a total of eight people, and the eight people’s fighting force is of B level according to the NSA’s soldier level, and they have experienced military skills. They are far stronger than the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group, so you must not take it lightly.”
“Hmm.”
Xiao Luo then made a request, “Send someone to protect my parents.”
He was staying at this house with his grandparents, so he did not need to worry too much about their safety, but his parents were staying at the farm, so he must arrange security 24 hours a day to ensure their safety.
“I have already sent 20 Class C soldiers to your place on the same night. As for how to deploy them, you decide.” Zhang Gu said.
Xiao Luo was very grateful for Zhang Gu’s arrangement as he did so much for him, which shows NSA’s sincerity.
“Are there any other questions?” Asked Zhang Gu.
“Yes.”
Xiao Luo was not polite. “How did Khun Sa learn about me?”
“Apart from being one of Blackwater’s top executives, Khun Sa is also a drug kingpin in the Golden Triangle. He has always had close cooperation with the Dragon Gang of Jiang City. After the accident of the Red Scorpion mercenary group, he entrusted the Dragon Gang to investigate. You were in the limelight at that time and a lot of evidence pointed to you. The Dragon Gang simply told Khun Sa that you destroyed his Red Scorpion mercenary group. Speaking of which, this is also a red-handed thing.” Zhang Gu said these words in a very helpless tone.
Xiao Luo was speechless, his luck was too “good!”
……
……
Early in the morning of the second day, Xiao Luo began to clean up.
Although his grandparents had been living in this house all year round, they were too old to clean it up completely even if they wanted to.
Wiping the window glass, tables and chairs, cabinets, mopping the floor …
All morning, Xiao Luo was so busy wiping every corner that had been neglected carefully with a rag.
When he went outside to carry water, a middle-aged woman next door saw him and said in surprise, “Ayo, isn’t this Xiao Luo? Have you come back for the New Year?”
Xiao Luo greeted her with a smile, “Aunt Tao Xiu look well. The company is on holiday, so I came back for the New Year.”
The men in Luo Village were all surnamed Xiao, descendants of the same ancestor. They were all addressed by ranking the generations. There were many fellow men of the same age as his father’s peers. According to their generations, he would call the others uncle. This had always been the place where Xiao Luo was speechless.
The middle-aged woman’s surname was Xiao. Because she would often visit and grandma called her Tao Xiu, he also called her Aunt Tao Xiu. Xiao Luo and her son Xiao Ping were also childhood friends. Xiao Ping was two years older than him.
Aunt Tao Xiu’s voice was loud, and when neighbors heard Xiao Luo had come back, they all rushed out in unison.
Xiao Luo was not a rude person, so he said hello to every elder with a smile.
“Xiao Luo, I haven’t seen you for a year. You have become handsome. I heard you mentioned a girlfriend last year. Why didn’t you bring her back to meet your family?” Another woman with dark skin said.
A thin middle-aged man smiled and echoed, “Yes, it’s time to start a family. When I was your age, my son was already seven or eight years old.”
Xiao Luo smiled, “This kind of thing cannot be forced. It depends on fate. When fate arrives, everything will follow.”
“Fate is not clear at all. It is mainly pursued on one’s own initiative. Didn’t the state count that there are 30 million more men than women, that is to say, 30 million men can’t marry a wife. Xiao Luo, you have to cheer up. Though you are not in a hurry; your father, mother and your grandparents should be.” The thin middle-aged man said.
“That’s right. You see Xiao Qiu is as old as you. He has a son now, and tomorrow he will arrange a banquet for everyone at home. His wife is from Baodao, and Quanluo Village is famous. If you don’t work hard, you will be compared with him.” The dark-skinned woman was cracking melon seeds.
Xiao Luo smiled without saying a word. He really didn’t want to stand here and be bombarded. He just said to everyone that he had to clean up, so he hurried into the house to avoid these people.
“Don’t you say that, Xiao Luo must be worried too. After all, he is the only one in our village who is as old as he is and hasn’t married yet.” Aunt Tao Xiu spoke for Xiao Luo.
“We didn’t say much about him either. This little Luo has too much self-esteem. This is not going to work. He is definitely going to hit a wall outside.” The thin middle-aged man crossed his hands on his chest and said with the appearance of an experienced person.
The dark-skinned woman sighed heavily: “Alas … Xiao Qiu didn’t go to college. But, now he works in Zhoukou City. He also bought a house in Zhoukou City. Looking at Xiao Luo that went to two universities, though he worked for others and read so many books. He is not as fortunate as Xiao Qiu.”
