Thirteenth Street is the most prosperous area in Jiangcheng at night. There are all kinds of people here. There are all kinds of bars. There are many bars on the lower floor. There are many underground casinos that are not visible to the sun.

There are gamblers who spend a lot of money, penniless gangsters, and vendors who sell tobacco and alcohol to do some small businesses.

The second floor of the casino is the control room, which has a single-sided perspective glass, which can clearly see the environment in the casino and even the cards in everyone's hand.

A man in a suit and ties stood in front of the perspective mirror, looking at the inside of the casino expressionlessly, holding half of the sloping cigarette butts in his slender fingertips.

In the venue, the gamblers' faces were red, and they looked at the dealer girl nervously, waiting for her to hand over the cards to the players one by one.

As the saying goes, life and death have fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. This gold-selling cave is full of tempting scenes of getting rich overnight every night.

Of course, it's more about losing everything.

"Brother Shu, how about it? Are you catching someone to help them cheat?"

"Look at it again."

"Be careful, the boss attaches great importance to this matter."

The man pressed the cigarette butt into the cigarette bar and looked up at a little girl in the venue with a box selling cigarettes and lighters hanging.

The little girl is not old, at most fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a scorpion-tail braid, wearing a white-washed T-shirt and ripped strap jeans, and wearing black sunglasses, lingering among the gambling players.

No matter who she walks behind or whoever she sees the cards, no one will be wary of, because she is a blind girl with a blind stick.

She is familiar with the environment of this underground casino and often comes over and lingers for half a month.

Before Jishu entered Ji's family, he followed his mother's surname Cheng.

Cheng Shu stared at the blind girl intently, and saw her stop behind a gambler, stayed for two or three seconds, then slowly left, and came behind another gambler, and the blind stick in his hand was pested on the ground a few times.

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da.

It seemed like some signal was being transmitted, and soon the gambler won a bowl of money.

This situation lasted for several days.

Cheng Shu couldn't bear to see it anymore, so he raised his fingertips and said calmly: "Bring her here."

"yes."

However, just as his subordinates were about to leave, Cheng Shu added: "Don't be discovered by the guests."

Several subordinates acted immediately, and before the blind woman entered the bathroom, she silently covered her mouth, forced her away, and took her to Cheng Shu's office.

The blind girl cooperated very well and did not struggle and shouted. She found that the other party did not seem to want to be arrogant. If she broke things up at this time, it would be difficult for her to end.

Several men pushed the quiet girl to the office and then closed the door.

Cheng Shu got up from the chair, walked to the girl, and circled around her twice. The exquisite steel-patterned lighter in her hand made a "click" and "click" sound.

The girl was guarding her face pale.

Cheng Shu looked at the inferior sunglasses hanging on her little face, chuckled, snapped the lighter, and brought the burning flames little by little... approaching her tender and fair face.

The girl remained calm at first, but when she realized that the man might really be hot with flames, she shivered.

The flame was nowhere close to her white and tender face. The girl was trembling all over, but she didn't move.

"Very dedicated." Cheng Shu turned off her lighter, took off her sunglasses and threw them on the wall.

The wet eyes were already filled with tears, but she didn't let the tears fall.

Cheng Shu looked at her.

She has a pair of Danfeng eyes that are the most oriental feminine, and she is obedient and a little pride and stubborn.

When I cried, I was so delicate and pitiful.

Cheng Shu threw the lighter on the table, then leaned against the table cabinet, and asked in a slow tone: "How old is it?"

The girl bit her lower lip tightly and reached out to gesture to him, indicating that she could not speak.

Cheng Shu snorted coldly: "Pretending to be blind, you are still dumb?"

The girl looked at him nervously and nodded.

And just then, a knock came from outside the door: "Brother Shu, the boss asked you, have you caught the guy from Qianqian?"

Cheng Shu turned around and was about to open the door when the girl suddenly rushed out from behind, hugged his waist, stopped him from moving forward, and begged anxiously: "Brother Shu, please!"

Now, she was really scared, her eyes full of fear, and she hugged his waist tightly, and her whole body was trembling: "Don't hand me over, I'll die! Please!"

Cheng Shu said casually: "Murdering someone is illegal and you will get beaten at most. But you should be mentally prepared when you walk at night."

The girl hugged him tighter, her voice trembling: "Just just beat me, I...I agree, but these guys, you know how they will treat me, please! I'm only 15 years old this year, Brother Shu, please!"

Cheng Shu was moved by her words, "I am only 15 years old this year."

He recalled that when he was 15 years old, he did the same thing as her and was beaten up. If he were not a man, he might have suffered many times.

The subordinates were urging from outside the door again: "Brother Shu, the boss asked you if something happened?"

Cheng Shu's gentle palm fell on the girl's shoulder, patted her gently, and signaled her to let go.

The girl looked at him tremblingly, and he whispered, "It's okay, I've misunderstood. This is a really blind man."

So there was no movement outside the door.

The girl breathed a lot of relief, leaned against the wall, and her whole body was exhausted.

"You just wait here for a while, and you'll leave by yourself when it's dark, and no one makes things difficult for you."

After Cheng Shu said this, he turned around and went out with a suit jacket, preparing to report the situation to the boss.

The girl nodded guiltily. When he pushed the door and left, she hurriedly said, "My name is Su Xiaotang."

Cheng Shu seemed to hear it, but also didn't. He paused and turned around and left.

Su Xiaotang sat bored in his office, sometimes rummaging through the documents on the table that he couldn't understand, and sometimes walked to the window to look outside.

This office is so awesome, and the floor-to-ceiling windows can clearly see the cards in the entire casino and everyone's hand.

She knew that Cheng Shu was the second-in-command of this casino and a very powerful man, but he seemed different from what was rumored outside. It was said that he had a bad personality and was cruel and ruthless. He climbed to his current position step by step with his own ability. I wonder how much blood was stained on his hands.

However, Su Xiaotang felt that the rumors could not be believed. A truly cruel man would not show mercy to women.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, when Su Xiaotang left the office, he secretly looked out at the door, and there were a bunch of men standing outside the door.

She took out the inferior lipstick from her bag, spit it randomly on her mouth, then dispersed it, and messed up her hair, making her look very embarrassed.

When she was ready, she took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and left with her head down.

Sure enough, these men did not make things difficult for her. Cheng Shu had instructed her to let her go, so they made way for her.

However, when these men saw Su Xiaotang's messy appearance, they seemed to have encountered a lasting and rough "battle", a meaningful smile appeared in their eyes.

So when Cheng Shu came back, his subordinates smiled at him maliciously and congratulated him, which made Cheng Shu confused.

He helped Su Xiaotang cover his eyes. Fortunately, in those days, Su Xiaotang restrained himself and stopped helping others to cheat. He sold cigarettes and lighters seriously, and became a professional and ethical fraud hawker.

It's strange that the men in the casino were much more polite to this fake blind girl. In the past, there were ill-intentioned guys teasing her and bullying her, but now, no one bullies her anymore.

Although Cheng Shu was puzzled, he did not delve into it. As long as this little girl stopped fighting against him, he didn't care about her pretending to be dumb and did some small business on the spot.

But there is no airtight wall in the world. As soon as Cheng Shu came out of the bathroom that day, his subordinate Li Zhao smiled and said to him: "Brother Shu, I can't tell that you are still a love species."

Cheng Shu glanced at him and said carelessly: "Speak human words."

"I fell in love with that little girl, and I actually paid for the boss to fill her hole. I'm impressed by a lot of money!"

Cheng Shu did not take his words to heart, but said, "I'm not blind if I don't even have hair."

"Isn't that little blind man in love with you?"

"Am I crazy?" Cheng Shu frowned: "She is ten years younger than her and can be my daughter."

"Haha, you said you want to be someone else's dad so much?"

"I want to give birth to such a disobedient daughter, and I will beat her to death."

"There is a mistake outside, hehehe, don't take it to heart when I didn't say it."

Li Zhao left leisurely, but Cheng Shu heard it in vagueness.

The bar has not started yet, and there are only a few cleaning staff.

Cheng Shu walked out of the bar and wandered around the street for a few randomly.

From afar, he saw a beautiful figure, like the breeze blowing from the alley in midsummer, making him feel refreshed.

Su Xiaotang dragged the foam box and stood on a blind stick, slowly walked around the streets and sold yogurt.

She was wearing strap jeans, which were very unfit and had a wide style, making her look even thinner.

She was still wearing sunglasses and walking slowly, she was really a bit blind and was a powerful acting guy.

A gangster on the side of the road bought yogurt from her and gave her money. She said she would not ask for compensation for one or two yuan. The gangster was unhappy: "Fuck, one or two yuan is not money, why didn't he make up for it?"

She pointed to the back of the frozen foam box and asked them to see it. After seeing it, the gangster's face changed, and he didn't dare to say anything more, and he left without saying anything.

Su Xiaotang raised the corner of her mouth and dragged the box to continue walking around the streets.

However, when she meets a child, she will not be so domineering. She will not care about one or two pieces of money.

"You do your business a little as you want."

A very magnetic voice came from behind.

Su Xiaotang's figure was shocked and he turned around and looked at Cheng Shu.

"Um..."

It's obvious that I feel guilty.

Cheng Shu knocked on her frozen foam box: "Give me a cup of yogurt."

"Sell...sold out."

"Sold out so soon?"

"Yes."

"Open the box and let me see." Cheng Shu was too lazy to talk nonsense to her, so he pulled off her inferior sunglasses, put them into his shirt pocket, and urged impatiently: "Hurry up."

"Are you A Sir? You are so fierce." Su Xiaotang learned from the Hong Kong accent and Taiwanese accent and pouted: "They are not doing illegal business."

Cheng Shu looked at her and said lightly: "Isn't you afraid of me now, and you're still talking?"

Su Xiaotang was still a little afraid of him and muttered, "Then...you promise me first, don't be angry, and don't hit me."

"It depends on my mood."

Seeing Cheng Shu's preparedness, Su Xiaotang knew that she was doomed today. She sighed softly and lifted the lid of the foam box nervously.

There was actually a photo of Cheng Shu himself sticking on the lid, and it was obvious that he took a secret photo while he was not paying attention.

In the photo, he was standing at the bar door in a black suit, frowned slightly and lowered his eyes, lowered his head to light a cigarette, and was wearing a big boss temperament.

On the photo, the crooked handwriting reads: "Don't mess with me, my dear is very fierce."

Cheng Shu:...

The little girl was guilty and had a short temper. She quickly took out a cup of yogurt from the box and handed it to Cheng Shu: "Please eat, you don't have to pay. I have something to do, so I'll leave first!"

"In the future, if you don't want to do business on Thirteenth Street, you will run away if you don't want to do it. I won't stop you."

Su Xiaotang stopped, she turned around, and Cheng Shu laughed: "Brother Shu~"

"Call dad."

"Dad!" The little girl immediately stood at attention and stood up: "From today, you will be my dear father!"

Cheng Shu lifted the box lid, tore off the secret photo, and patted Su Xiaotang's cheek with impoliteness: "How do you calculate the slander of my reputation?"

The girl thought about it and said calmly: "It seems that she can only do fake roles."

"……dream."

Seeing that he was not happy, Su Xiaotang became anxious: "I am blind, but I am pretending. If I follow you, I will not pretend anymore. I will definitely dress up beautifully!"

I really have this idea!

Cheng Shu was a little angry: "Your age should study in school and think about how to get into a good university, but if you don't want to be a woman for a big brother, how will your parents teach you!"

He really wanted to teach her a lesson for the child's parents.

"Do you think I don't want to study?"

Su Xiaotang pushed the yogurt cart and muttered, "The adoptive parents won't ask me to go to school anymore. I have so many younger brothers and sisters at home, so I have to work hard to earn money."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shu could probably guess that this little girl had to work in a bad place like an underground casino at a young age, and she must have difficulties.

But in this world, unfortunate people have their own misfortunes, and he can't help her.

Cheng Shu unpacked the wrapping paper, put the straw into the yogurt cup, turned around and left slowly: "For its sake, I don't care about the past. If you dare to cheat in my name, I'm really not polite."

After he left a long distance, he turned around the corner and Su Xiaotang stood in a cowardly place, quite disappointed.

This girl is very clever. He is only a few years older than her in his appetite. If she had met her two years earlier, maybe the two could try to be companions with each other.

But now... Cheng Shu doesn't have this gossip.

He raised his head and saw the tall buildings of Jishi Group not far away, with waves surging in his dark eyes.

**

The threat was effective. In those days, I never saw the little girl again.

Just like a small stone on the lake surface stirred up layers of ripples. After the ripples dissipated, his life would eventually return to peace.

But he was unwilling to live like this as light as water, and unwilling to live in a narrow and simple rental house. He had great ambitions in his heart and wanted to make a fortune.

He has this qualification.

A few days later, at four o'clock in the morning, Cheng Shu came home from get off work. As soon as he walked out of the bar, he saw a familiar figure squatting on the side of the road, trembling.

Because it had just rained in the early morning, puddles were accumulated on the uneven road surface.

He stepped on the water and passed by the girl without looking at her.

There were a few drunk men behind him who were drunk, carrying beer bottles, shaking around and shouting to find a woman.

After walking a few steps, Cheng Shu finally stopped and couldn't walk anymore.

Although it is definitely not a good idea to take her away, it is definitely a bad idea to keep her in this empty street.

He took a deep breath, turned impatiently, grabbed the little girl's slender elbow, and carried her back.

"Brother Shu, it hurts..."

The little girl shrank desperately.

With the faint street lights, Cheng Shu saw bloody holes on her face and bruises on her thin arms.

His face suddenly became cold: "Who hit you?"

"No, no one."

"I won't say I'll leave."

He was really leaving, Su Xiaotang hurriedly called him: "My uncle is...the adoptive father."

"Entertainment father?"

"Isn't you caught a bag last time? You can't help others cheating. How much money can you earn by selling yogurt? My younger brother and sister are going to school to eat, and the youngest is still eating milk powder. I don't make enough money, so I'll be beaten."

Looking at the shocking bruises on her body, for a moment, Cheng Shu felt that his heart was being pulled up. He had no relatives, no daughters, and no sisters, but he could just empathize.

"I dare not go home. This is your territory. No one dares to bully me. Go back quickly. Don't worry about me. I'll sit here until dawn."

Su Xiaotang said, squatting on the street, looking at him secretly with aggrieved little eyes.

As for this, Cheng Shu was still a man, so he could not leave her on the side of the road, so he could only take her back to his rental house.

The house is very small, and the single room has been suffocated for about ten square meters. One bed occupies half of the country and the ceiling lights are dim. Although there are no furniture and supplies at home, it still seems crowded.

However, the view outside the window is very good. When you open the window, you can see the tallest landmark office building in Jiangcheng at a glance, which is the office building of Jishi Group.

After Su Xiaotang entered the house, he stood crampedly by the window, feeling at a loss: "I thought you had a girlfriend, and everyone outside said you were wandering..."

Cheng Shu searched for the medical box and ignored her.

"So... I really don't have a girlfriend."

"It's not your business."

"Then don't you think about me?"

Cheng Shu threw the medicine box on the table and said lazily: "I don't like you, okay?"

Su Xiaotang was also a arrogant person. He felt uncomfortable when he heard this sentence. He turned around and wanted to leave angrily.

"Forget it if you don't look down on me, who cares about it?"

Cheng Shu pulled her back, took out the ointment, squeezed it to the tip of her fingers, and then applied it to the bruises on her face.

"Does your little girl of your age think about falling in love?"

Su Xiaotang felt the man's rough fingertips rubbing her cheeks, which hurt a little, but she could bear it.

"Does men of your age think of not dating but only having women?"

Cheng Shu suddenly exerted force, and she exclaimed: "Oh, it hurts!"

"It hurts and remembers it." Cheng Shu applied medicine to her and said lightly: "Since you know, don't get too close to these men."

Su Xiaotang stared at him with his polar and long, long, scented phoenix eyes: "Brother Shu, you are a good person."

Cheng Shu's mouth twitched.

He is a good person, and there may be no bad people in the entire Thirteenth Street.

He stopped continuing the topic and asked instead: "How did you get to your adoptive father's house?"

"This is a long story."

While he packed the medicine box, the girl simply lay on his big bed, looking at the ceiling swaying lights: "My parents prefer boys to girls. When I gave birth to them, I sent me out. I have been transferred several times since I can remember, and I don't remember many of my adoptive parents."

"I came to this family at the age of thirteen. They had many children in their family, but they couldn't raise them. At the beginning, I asked me to help them take care of their children. Later, I grew up a little, so I asked me to help them make money. Last year, when I went to Thirteen Street, I heard of Brother Shu's famous! I said how bad my brother Shu was, I thought, what a terrifying man, that made these guys so scared. I didn't expect that Brother Shu was so handsome..."

"Okay."

Cheng Shu didn't want to listen to her whisper anymore, and he whispered "My Brother Shu" as if they were so close to each other.

He went to the kitchen to lay down a bowl of noodles, divided it into two bowls, one big and one small, beat another egg, and put it into a large bowl.

Cheng Shu handed Su Xiaotang a large bowl of noodles and left the small bowl of noodles for himself to eat.

Su Xiaotang seemed to be hungry. She took the bowl and didn't care or not. She swallowed it and ate it hard, and it took half of it in a few bites. Only then did she have the time to look at Cheng Shu: "You eat so little, which makes me embarrassed."

"lose weight."

"No! You are a big man, why are you losing weight? Besides, how can you lose weight in your body?"

Cheng Shu has a very standard physique, and can be seen with his arms, elbows, and clothes. He is definitely a tough guy.

Cheng Shu ignored her. He knew that he had to maintain his figure and even thinner. He had seen Ji Yangfeng, the eldest son of Ji San family, who looked very similar.

If he loses weight...

After Su Xiaotang finished her meal, she sat by the bed, yawning one after another, and was so sleepy.

Cheng Shu looked at the sky at dawn and dawn. At this moment, she really couldn't bear to drive her away, so she pulled out the mat and made a floor beside the big bed, so that the little girl could sleep on the ground.

Su Xiaotang was not picky either. She slept on the floor at home, so she took off her shoes and lay down on the mat and fell asleep.

Cheng Shu lay on the big bed, feeling tired and fell asleep soon.

It was already afternoon when I woke up again, the room was empty and Su Xiaotang had already left.

But in the end, there are still traces of women, such as his dirty clothes and even his socks have been washed and dried outside the windowsill, and there are small buns with remaining warmth on the table.

Cheng Shu put on his slippers and walked to the table. He saw a line of neat handwriting written on the notes at the table.

"Brother Shu, I'm going to sell yogurt. Thank you for taking me in. I know that you lose weight and the buns are vegetarian!-3-"

Cheng Shu didn't know what the symbol behind meant, so he threw the note casually, grabbed the bun on the table and chewed it a few bites.

It’s really a vegetarian filling, with green vegetables and mushrooms, bought at the bun shop in the corner downstairs.

He raised his eyebrows and suddenly felt that it would be great if he had such a daughter to accompany him.

After Cheng Shu washed up, he went out and started working all night.

Boss Zhao of the casino treats him well and is willing to cultivate and promote him to be the second-in-command. However, Boss Zhao is not a good person and has a bad heart. He heard that a person's life has passed, but he is not a case that cannot be found, so Cheng Shu doesn't really want to stay by his side.

Sooner or later, he will go out and will never be mingled with these people forever.
Chapter completed!
