Chapter 379 - Ghost.
Chapter 379: Ghost.
They had a piece of paper which tied them together, however, the feelings or emotions that could tightly bind them together were nonexistent. Xiao Luo also didn’t know what kind of feelings Su Li might have for him, hence he felt a little strange. He very much hoped that Su Li could meet a person whom she loved, and, could then, end this relationship early.
In his subconscious, the two of them would eventually go their separate ways, and then they would proceed to become strangers. They would not pester each other. This was why there were many things he didn’t tell Su Li.
After returning to his apartment, he called Zhang Dashan.
Zhang Dashan had been busy chasing Huang Ruoran recently. Unfortunately, Huang Ruoran was cold in his pursuit. She even told him plainly that the two of them are impossible.
“Damn, I’ve sent flowers more than a dozen times now, I’ve also asked her out to eat a couple of times, but she just won’t give the opportunity! What should I do Lao Xiao?” Zhang Dashan complained.
Xiao Luo shook his head, “You are more experienced than me in chasing girls. What’s the use of asking me?”
“Do you only come to jail when you’ve experienced it?” Zhang Dashan was extremely depressed.
Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows and joked, “Then go to jail, I’ll come and visit.”
“Look at you having sooo much fun?” Zhang Dashan rolled his eyes.
Xiao Luo sighed helplessly, and then saw that a call came in from his cousin Ding Zhenyun.
“Alright, talk to you later, I have to take a call.”
“All right.”
Zhang Dashan voluntarily ended the call.
Xiao Luo swiped the screen of his phone to the right and answered Ding Zhenyun’s call.
“Cousin, help me, help me …” At the other end of the phone, Ding Zhenyun’s anxious and frightened voice rang out.
Xiao Luo suddenly stood up and asked, “Where are you?”
……
……
In a quiet street in Dongcheng District, a shabby figure ran out from a corner. He was wearing a gray leather jacket and black trousers. His slightly swollen was bruised and bleeding, and his clothes were torn to ragged. His inside shirt was buttoned wrong, this was a beaten Ding Zhenyun.
“Darling, come back with us, otherwise you will have to eat more ‘fruit’!”
Behind him, there were four young men chasing after him. He was coaxed by a stout man with a scar on his face. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a pair of strong arms and a scorpion tattooed on the back of his left hand.
Ding Zhenyun’s body shivered and used everything he got to get away. However, accidents were prone to happen when people were in panic mode. For example, right now, he accidentally tripped over a pothole and fell to the ground.
The four young men rushed up quickly and formed a circle with their heads bowed and their faces looking at him viciously.
“Run, keep running, why don’t you run?”
The strong man kicked Ding Zhenyun’s belly. The strength in his kick was fierce, making Ding Zhenyun screamed out in pain. His face became slightly contorted.
Crouching down, the strong man clutched Ding Zhenyun’s hair and pulled his head up. The other three stepped on Ding Zhenyun’s hands and legs with their feet. No matter how hard Ding Zhenyun struggled, it was of no help.
The strong man grinned, “I said, as long as you follow me and obey me, I’ll make you rich! Why do you have to run?”
“You are … you are pyramid scheming …” Ding Zhenyun was horrified at the strong men, he said timidly.
“What about pyramid scheming? It’s just a way to make a fortune. Look at how hard you worked before and got less in return. But just by introducing several of your friends here, you made a net profit of 5,000 without even putting in a cent. That’s so great. All you have to do is bring in a few more people, brainwash them, let them use their network to bring in others, and you can wait to collect money. Where can you find such a good money maker?” The strong man took out a cigarette and said darkly.
“You are pyramid scheming, you are pyramid scheming …”
Ding Zhenyuni still said this sentence repeatedly. He was out of it.
“Pyramid scheming your mother.”
The strong man took a puff of the cigarette, held it in his hand, and then thrusted it hard against Ding Zhenyun’s arm.
The lit cigarette was like red-hot black charcoal. When it made contact with his skin, Ding Zhenyun immediately felt like his heart was being torn into pieces. He screamed out in pain and bit his tongue, both rows of his teeth were dyed red with blood.
It was not until the cigarette was completely extinguished that the strong man let go.
A large red cigarette burn mark appeared on Ding Zhenyun’s arm. Instantly, a burn blister was generated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Isn’t this exciting?”
The strong man looked at Ding Zhenyun with a dark smile on his face. “Rest assured, this was just an appetizer. When we go back, there are ‘big dishes’ waiting for you. It’s been a long time since I’ve set an example to others so you basically just gave me the chance.” Standing up, the strong man’s face was cold as he gravely shouted, “Take him away!”
The other three people propped Ding Zhenyun up.
“Let me go, I don’t want to go back, let me go, let me go!”
Fear reflected within the depth of Ding Zhenyun’s eyes. He started to struggle with all his strength, because he knew what would be waiting for him when he returned. It was terror, pain, despair and nightmarish!
“F*ck you!”
The strong man smashed Ding Zhenyun’s face with a punch. Ding Zhenyun’s head swung sharply to the right and a mouthful of blood flew out. The punch stunned his brain.
The strong man took out another cigarette, lighted it and inhaled deeply. He slowly exhaled the smoke after it passed through his lungs. He looked at Ding Zhenyun and snorted softly, “In my eyes, you are just a fat pig ready to be butchered. It is all up to me to either kill or keep you. You must always remember this.”
As they walked out of the street, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in their line of sight, making no noise as it sauntered over. It was as if a weightless ghost was slowly gliding over.
The four people involuntarily shuddered …
The strong man had been a soldier for several years before. Hence, he keenly felt that this man was not simple, but he did not associate that he was there to help Ding Zhenyun. He thought that he was a passer-by.
“Let’s go this way.”
He beckoned and left in the opposite direction of the ‘passers-by’. He did not want to have any contact with this ghostly person.
The other three nodded and left with Ding Zhenyun.
But at the moment they just turned around, the strong man felt his shoulder sink, a big hand grabbed his shoulder! When he looked back, he met a chillingly cold face. It was the same ghostly figure that was more than ten meters away from them a moment ago!
Hiss …
At this moment, the strong man gasped uncontrollably and broke into a cold sweat. In one second, the other party appeared in front of him from more than ten meters away. Was this really a ghost?
