The taste was still that familiar, but it slowly changed in Xiao Ye's mouth.
It turns out that some time ago, his favorite son owed money outside and had to borrow money from usury. Now people are coming to visit him and guarding the restaurant all day long. If he doesn't pay back, he won't be able to do business properly.
Although Uncle Yan owns a restaurant, he doesn't have much savings at all. Most of what he has earned over the years has been lost to his prodigal son.
As for Yan Jun, he had no idea where he had gone. No matter how many phone calls he made, he couldn't get through. He searched all over the slums and couldn't find him at all.
"Uncle Yan, I believe Yan Jun will be fine." Xiao Ye finished the last bite of rice, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and comforted him in a low voice.
Uncle Yan just drank heavily, his eyes were red and red. After a few days, he had turned into an old man with black hair, with white hair taking up most of it, and he looked even more decadent.
Perhaps he had been under too much pressure these past few days. After confiding in Xiao Ye, he quickly climbed on the table and fell asleep with the help of alcohol.
Xiao Ye did not bother him and turned his attention to several other tables.
There were several groups of people sitting there, in groups of three and five, not ordering anything to eat, just chatting.
As soon as he came in, he noticed something was wrong. He didn't think much about it at the time. Now it seems that these people are either here to eat or to cause trouble.
Xiao Ye sighed.
The other party really did an amazing job. Once these people sat in the store, who would dare to come and eat? No wonder the store felt deserted.
Xiao Ye cleared away the dishes on the table, put them in the kitchen, wiped the table clean, and then walked towards those people with his legs.
When he was doing these things, these people did not move or say anything, they just stared at Xiao Ye with vague eyes.
"Let's talk." Xiao Ye came to a table and knocked on the table.
A middle-aged man in black raised his head, looked at Xiao Ye in surprise, and finally nodded: "Well, you tell me!"
"I want to meet your eldest brother." Xiao Ye said calmly: "Even if his son owes you money, you don't have to do this, right? If you don't go to find his son, what's the use of looking for him?"
"Father's debt is repaid by his son, no matter who you turn to." The man in black stared at Xiao Ye and said solemnly: "This is none of your business, you'd better not meddle in other people's business."
Xiao Ye took a breath and suddenly laughed: "Why is it none of my business? I have to help him pay back the money."
The man in black looked at Xiao Ye suspiciously and asked in surprise: "What is your relationship with his family?"
Xiao Ye shook his head: "You don't have to worry about it. Anyway, I will pay back the money his family owes, but I have to meet your eldest brother."
"You don't need to see our elder brother to pay back the money." The man in black frowned.
Xiao Ye shook his head: "I won't pay it back until I see someone. Just wait here."
Saying that, he raised his legs and left.
"Wait a minute!" The man in black looked at Xiao Ye and finally nodded: "Wait a minute, let me ask."
As he said that, he winked at the other person: "Go and call the elder brother and tell him that someone wants to see him."
The man nodded, walked to the other side and made a phone call. While calling, he looked towards Xiao Ye.
After a while, he came back and said, "Big brother asked us to take him to see him."
"In that case, let's go." The man in black nodded and prepared to leave with Xiao Ye.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Ye looked at the other people around who were not moving, and said calmly: "Remove your people, there is no need to stay here, I won't run away."
The man in black was right. With so many people, he was afraid that he might escape.
"Everyone has withdrawn." He waved his hand and shouted.
Suddenly, everyone stood up and left the restaurant.
After Xiao Ye waited for them all to leave, he closed the door of the restaurant and put up a sign saying it was temporarily closed.
"Let's go." Xiao Ye followed him to the front of a black car.
After getting in the car, the man in black threw a black blindfold.
Xiao Ye put it on consciously without saying anything.
"You are quite cautious." Xiao Ye smiled.
"There is no way, our line of work is not a bright one, you have to be careful."
Xiao Ye nodded and stopped talking. The elemental energy spread outside and he could clearly see the situation outside.
He found that although the car was moving very fast, it was going back and forth through those alleys, and these people were taking him in circles.
After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, we finally stopped in a remote street. This was a business building that looked to be a few years old. The corners were covered with ivy and there were no people living around.
The man in black took off Xiao Ye's blindfold and asked Xiao Ye to get out of the car.
"The big hermitage is hidden in the city, and the small hermitage is hidden in the mountains. You are really amazing in such a hidden place." Xiao Ye said sarcastically.
It is impossible for ordinary people to come to this place. There are also special people guarding several street entrances. Without someone to take them, it is impossible to enter.
The man in black glanced at Xiao Ye and said nothing. They were loan sharks and not an illegal group. They only focused on paying back debts and abiding by the law. Naturally, they would not do anything to Xiao Ye.
He waved others to leave, and he led Xiao Ye upstairs.
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, a smile appeared on Xiao Ye's lips.
Things seem to be getting more and more fun.
The two of them walked up the stairs. There was no one on the first few floors. They were all empty rooms, which seemed to be used to store things.
On the fourth floor, I came to a door, and the man in black knocked gently.
After waiting for a long time, the door to the room opened, revealing a fat face inside.
He glanced at Xiao Ye and waved his hand: "Is that him? Go out and let him in."
The man in black bowed respectfully to him and then gave way to the road.
Xiao Ye walked in with a smile and then closed the door.
The scene inside the room is completely different from the shabby business building outside. The prosperity inside is on par with, or even worse than, the villa that Fan Xin went to yesterday.
"This is the first time that I take the initiative to meet outsiders. Generally speaking, people who meet me have only two endings. One is to be buried under this building, and the other is to become my person."
"Tell me what you want to see me for, and we'll discuss your fate after that."
The fat man was sitting on an unknown leather sofa, holding a glass of wine and saying.
"Actually, there is a third ending?" Xiao Ye suddenly laughed and sat on the sofa opposite him.
"Chu, Fan, Ye, Du, I don't know which family you are from." After sitting down, Xiao Ye suddenly asked such a question.
Hearing these words, the fat man suddenly straightened his back. He squinted and stared at Xiao Ye: "Who are you and how do you know this?"
"It seems that my guess is correct. You are not from this world." Xiao Ye did not answer his words and continued to ask: "What is your purpose? What is there in Tassel City?"
The fat man frowned and asked again: "Who are you? Are you not from that family? Then why do you know about their existence."
Xiao Ye shook his head and said seriously: "Please answer my question, otherwise something bad will happen."
The moment he saw the fat man, a picture suddenly flashed in Xiao Ye's mind.
Shortly after the destruction of Liusu City, he met this fat man in Liusu City. However, he seemed to be abnormal at that time and killed the fat man with one sword. This also led to him not knowing anything about the fat man.
But to be able to survive until that time, he should not be a simple character. Combined with Fan Xin's words last night, he guessed that this fat man was probably not from this world, so he opened his mouth to test it out, but he was really asked to guess.
bingo.
"Are you threatening me?" The fat man suddenly became upset. When had he been threatened by someone?
"If you think so, then I'm threatening you." Xiao Ye said nonchalantly.
"Believe it or not, as long as I give an order, you will immediately kneel in front of me and beg for mercy." A trace of cruelty flashed in the fat man's eyes.
"Is it him you rely on?" Xiao Ye threw a ball of fire elements into the void behind him.
bump.
A violent explosion sounded, and a figure was blown out of the void.
"Ahem." The figure coughed a few times, stared at Xiao Ye solemnly, and said to the fat man in a low voice: "Master, this man is very strong."
Xiao Ye looked at them both with a half-smile but not a smile: "Now, can you answer my question?"
With the existence of the Book of Truth, everything existing in the void could not escape his perception. From the moment he entered the door, Xiao Ye discovered the figure hiding in the void.
It's just that this person is not too strong, he is about the same as Fan Xin and others.
"Master, you go first, I'll stop him." The figure stood in front of the fat man and looked at Xiao Ye solemnly.
"You go out first." Unexpectedly, the fat man waved his hand and asked him to go out.
"Master, this person is extremely dangerous." The figure suddenly became anxious.
"Didn't I make it clear? Get out." The fat man scolded him angrily.
The figure reluctantly disappeared into the void and exited the room.
Xiao Ye smiled as he watched the two of them acting, and did not point out that the integration of the five elements brought Xiao Ye many benefits, one of which was that his mental power was greatly enhanced.
This fat man and that man were obviously abnormal. Their souls seemed incomplete. Compared with normal people, their soul power was pitifully small.
Xiao Ye believed that even if the fat man in front of him was killed, he would not be in big trouble.
The fat man glanced at Xiao Ye with a complicated expression, sighed and said: "I didn't expect that in this world where elemental energy has just recovered, a genius like you would appear."
Xiao Ye smiled and said nothing. He knew his own situation well. Without the system, he would be no different from ordinary people now.
"Tell me about it, I'm quite interested in you." Xiao Ye said.
