Chapter 34: Nima uses that joke again

By Mason Vale · 2279 words

On New Year's Eve, it is forbidden to set off firecrackers in Fenghai City, but there are no restrictions in some remote places. Kai Wei and Ethan Yi, who were strolling, occasionally saw dots of fire in the distance and heard bursts of gunfire.

Low-key, the whole situation had group-chat disaster written all over it.

Ethan Yi lit a cigarette and handed one to Kai Wei. Kai Wei didn't smoke, but he still took it and held it in his mouth.

Ethan Yi put the fire in front of Kai Wei's mouth and said, "You don't smoke. Smoking can relieve tension. You must be very nervous."

Kai Wei took two deep breaths and said, "There are so many wolves following behind me. I'm not nervous, but I'm so damn scared."

"I'm afraid I have special forces"

"Damn it, we're the only two, and you're still pretending to be cool?" Kai Wei kicked Ethan Yi in the butt.

Ethan Yi dusted off his windbreaker and said, "Let's lighten the mood. Hey, that Xiaoxiang is indeed a virgin."

Xiaoxiang, Xiaoxiang

"What, you did it?" Kai Wei said. He and Ethan Yi never spoke in a secretive manner. They used whatever words they wanted and never pretended to be literary or artistic.

"No"

Ethan Yi's answer was really shocking. Kai Wei didn't wear glasses, so he just touched his eye sockets and said, "How would you know if I didn't do it?"

Ethan Yi replied, "She wouldn't let me do it, so if she was a virgin, she would have done it long ago."

Kai Wei nodded. This Peng's theory of picking up girls was comparable to that of Zane Zheng, an artistic young man in his dormitory. Zane Zheng never picks up virgins for two reasons. One is that it is difficult to do it, and the other is that he has to be responsible if he does it.

However, Kai Wei is a bit strange. Ethan Yi is a romantic by nature. If Xiao Xiang didn't let him do that, he would have kicked the opponent long ago due to his character.

Kai Wei asked Ethan Yi with this question.

Ethan Yi replied: "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Xiaoxiang's massage skills are top-notch. Think about it, you can get a free massage before going to bed every day, and you can touch it while doing it. Hey, that feeling is heavenly."

Kai Wei nodded in agreement, and a dirty thought came to his mind: If he had the chance, he would definitely let Xiao Xiang teach Chloe a massage.

Kai Wei asked a melancholy question, "Ethan Yi, when do you plan to return to your hometown?"

"It's so lively in Fenghai back home, why go back and guard that one-third of an acre of land?" Ethan Yi said, "I don't even know if the village provides network cable support."

"It's okay to wander outside for a few years when you are young, but when it comes time to start a family, it's more than that. In another ten or twenty years, you will have to support your parents. How can you take care of them outside?" Kai Wei said.

"Just wait for me to survive for ten or twenty years. If I succeed, I will take my parents over. If I fail, I will take the money I earn and go back to do some small business. I can earn more here. If I save ten years, I can save thirty years at home."

Ethan Yi was very open-minded and spoke eloquently. Kai Wei did not refute because he did not know which one was more correct, his conservative thinking or Ethan Yi's open thinking.

Kai Wei, who has already made a small fortune in Fenghai City, has long thought of returning home. Now he has earned enough money to go home and show off. He has even planned to resign after the new year and pack up and return to Tangcheng. He is more home-loving and hangs out outside, completely out of helplessness. If there is a good job at home to sustain his life, he would rather give up all the benefits here. However, I don't know if Chloe Chang is willing to go back to his hometown with him. Probably not.

However, everything that happened after that completely shattered Kai Wei's longing. It seemed that an invisible force forced him to be in the world. Maybe, he would become a pile of withered bones, maybe, he would write a legend.

"Hey, there is a small bridge over flowing water, be careful." Ethan Yi's words interrupted Kai Wei's thinking. He looked up and saw a narrow wooden bridge across the river. The river had dried up and the river was full of pebbles. The distance from the bridge to the bottom of the river was twenty meters high. The guardrails of the bridge were extremely low. It was very dangerous to stand on the edge of the bridge and look down.

Behind them, more than twenty pairs of vicious eyes like jackals were getting closer and closer to the two of them.

The two of them still walked slowly, and after about ten steps on the bridge, the sound of increasingly rapid footsteps suddenly came from behind.

"Don't look back," Kai Wei whispered to persuade Ethan Yi, who was nervous and wanted to look back.

More than a dozen figures passed through the two of them one after another, stopped at the other end of the bridge, turned around, and stared at the two lambs in front of them like bloodthirsty wolves.

"Hey, do you think if we die here, will we be considered martyrs?" Ethan Yi said.

"You should probably apply."

Ethan Yi became nervous, "Damn it, did Grant Guo trick us? Why are there no policemen at all? Even if they came, they wouldn't be able to save us in time."

"Don't be afraid to show some momentum, show off to them and delay time," Kai Wei said.

"Oh no, after thinking about the previous two failed attempts at pretending, I really don't dare to pretend anymore," Ethan Yi said worriedly.

At this time, the people and horses at both ends of the bridge rushed towards the two people in the middle of the bridge.

Damn it, is Grant Guo here? Kai Wei looked at the silent bushes and woods and felt anxious.

"Who did you rob?" Kai Wei asked confidently.

One of the people applauded and said, "You are very courageous. You dare to suppress my plan and cause so many of my companions to be arrested."

"What?" Kai Wei looked confused, "You and the rest of the gang of liars during the day were together."

"Correct answer" said the bad guy in the lead.

"Aren't all the liars arrested?" Kai Wei asked.

"Hahahaha, if it were so easy to be driven out and killed, would there still be any liars in the world? Death is imminent. Let me tell you, those arrested by the police today are all peripheral low-level people. The real high-level people will not take it easy at all, unless hey, unless he is doing something important, for example, killing someone." The tone of the leader of the swindlers became increasingly cold and terrifying.

"You want to kill us," Kai Wei said.

"Hehehehe" the scammer leader smiled, "You can also choose to commit suicide. I also recommend you to do so. This bridge is more than 20 meters high and is full of rocks below. If you jump off, you will die very happily. If we do it ourselves, it will not be so pleasant."

"Hey" Kai Wei suddenly let out a long breath and raised his voice. "Finally we have evidence to arrest you." Kai Wei took out a pen from his pocket and said, "Do you know what this recording pen is?"

"Ah" the scammers were surprised, but the leader was still calm and asked tentatively, "What is your identity?"

"Police," Kai Wei said loudly. At the same time, he reached into his pocket and took out an ID card. "I saw there is no police officer ID card."

"You" the villain leader pointed at Kai Wei and then at Ethan Yi, "Aren't you a fake police officer? This kid has been exposed during the day."

"Hahahaha," Kai Wei said with a confident smile, "There is a job in this world called undercover. Haven't you heard of it? We lie to people during the day, but it is true to lure you out."

The crowd was in an uproar. Ethan Yi also curiously cast his eyes on the ID in Kai Wei's hand. This was obviously the fake ID he bought before. Then he looked at the pen in his hand. This was not a recording pen. It was obviously the broken pen that was almost out of oil.

Ethan Yi instantly understood that this was Kai Wei's empty city plan. Now that it was dark, the other party couldn't see the authenticity of the document at all.

Although Ethan Yi said that he was not creative in pretending, but if Kai Wei gave him a good start, he could follow the pretense and pretend to be more like Kai Wei. He patted Kai Wei on the shoulder and said, "Ahem, cough, cough. You behave well. When you go back, the captain will apply to your superiors and transfer you to the special forces. From now on, you will follow me, the captain."

The crowd was shocked again

Kai Wei thought to himself, is there any creativity in this? Apart from the special forces, there is nothing else to use. Well, since you are pretending like this, I have no choice but to cooperate.

"Captain," Kai Wei said, "To show you my skills, I'm going to knock them over one by one. If I get the upper hand while I'm at it, you must shoot to help me." As he said that, Kai Wei clenched his hands together, and the joints creaked, but he was saying in his heart: I didn't expect it to hurt so hard.

When they heard the word "shoot", the scammers were really upset. In fact, Kai Wei was even more upset. If the police didn't come, his secret would be exposed.

At the moment, the only thing he could do was delay for a second, but Kai Wei had no choice but to chat with Ethan Yi to show the liar that he didn't take them seriously.

"Oops, I forgot to collect my clothes," Kai Wei said.

"It's okay, at most you can work slower," Ethan Yi said.

"But I'm waiting to wear it."

"Is it the one just issued by the army?"

"Yeah, yeah"

"Then there's no other way. I can lend you one, but my clothes are for the captain's exclusive use, so you can't wear them."

The two of them were talking nonsense, stalling with the swindlers for time.

Kai Wei secretly said that it was really hard. There is a time limit in fighting games, and there is still an end of time. If the police don't come, how long will it take for this to happen?

Three minutes later, the liar leader finally couldn't sit still and became suspicious of the identities of the two people in front of him. He suddenly shouted: "Brothers, these two guys are pretending to come with me. Throw them off the bridge."

People on both sides of the Hula Bridge rushed toward Kai Wei and the others angrily. In desperation, Kai Wei suddenly stretched out his palm: "Wait a minute."

However, it was of no use. Everyone immediately surrounded the two of them and put them in the air.

The sound of a gunshot was remembered in the flash of light. The bad guys became nervous, put down Kai Wei and Ethan Yi in their hands, and looked around.

With a bang, the two fell to the ground and rubbed their butts.

"Don't move!" I saw one after another criminal policemen with guns climbing in from the bridge railings.

It turned out that these guys were hiding under the bridge just now. Grant Guo must have taken the police to take a detour, arrived near the bridge in advance, parked the car in a hidden place, and then lurked under the bridge.

The leader was naturally Grant Guo. He walked towards the crowd with a smile, raised his hand and fired another shot into the sky. The bad guys were so frightened that they hurriedly squatted down with their heads in their hands.

"Hey" Kai Wei and Ethan Yi finally let out a sigh of relief and slumped down on the bridge in fear.

Grant Guo squatted in front of the two of them and said with a smile, "The acting was good."

"Why did you take action? If it had been later, we would have been under the bridge," Kai Wei said angrily.

"This is my revenge on you. You made me suffer at the police station. Now my creaks still hurt," Grant Guodao said. "I have been practicing Muay Thai since I was a child. I have never met an opponent in police fighting competitions, but I was easily defeated by you. You can't really be a special forces member, right?"

"Of course," Ethan Yi replied, "If he hadn't been wounded by a gunshot that year, he would have used you to deal with these bad guys. It's my fault if you think about it. If the captain hadn't misjudged the operation, he wouldn't have fed you. Why did he leave? I haven't finished talking yet."
