Shen Lie was planning to leave after breakfast, but he heard Lu Taoyao answer a call from a locksmith company.
He frowned and asked, "Are you waiting alone for the locksmith to open the lock?"
Lu Taoyao held her forehead and said helplessly: "Yes, my mother and Uncle Shen are abroad, and I don't have a spare key. I can't stay away from my room for seven days and six nights."
Shen Lie didn't say anything. He took out his mobile phone and called Shouhou: "There's something going on at home. I'll get to your place later. The inspection plan will be carried out later."
Shouhou asked on the other end of the phone: "Eh? Brother Lie, what happened to your family? Is it sister Taoyao's fault? Do you want me to come over and help?"
"No, just take care of that. I'll be here half an hour later."
After Shen Lie finished speaking, he hung up the phone and looked up to see Lu Taoyao across the table holding her chin and looking at him with a smile: "Why, are you worried that it's not safe for me, a girl, to receive the locksmith by myself?"
Shen Lie still had a bad mouth: "Yes, I'm worried that if you encounter a scammer's locksmith company, they will break into the house and steal all our belongings."
Lu Taoyao was amused so much that she giggled. She ignored Shen Lie's bad words and winked at him: "Anyway, I have received your kindness. Thank you in advance."
Shen Lie looked at Lu Taoyao's innocent and harmless smile and was stunned for a few seconds. He looked away uncomfortably and his ears quietly turned red again.
Lu Taoyao screamed at the slag removal system in her mind: "The short, innocent little wolfdog with red ears at every turn is the cutest!"
Slag elimination system: "Be more reserved, you weird aunt!"
I originally thought that Shen Lie was just a venomous person, but it turned out that the locksmith company he came to was really not right.
Usually the unlocking masters are middle-aged people of a certain age, but this time there are two young guys who are not very old, and their eyes are wandering.
When Shen Lie saw them, he protected Lu Taoyao behind him without leaving any trace.
When the two young men saw Shen Lie, they looked at each other.
One of them pointed at the door of Lu Taoyao's house and asked, "Is this where the person who just called to make an appointment to unlock the door was?"
Shen Lie crossed his arms and said, "Yes."
The man asked again: "But wasn't the person who called to make an appointment a woman?"
Shen Lie raised his eyebrows dangerously: "Yes, I asked my sister to call and make an appointment. Does it matter whether the unlocker is a man or a woman? Does it affect your unlocking?"
The man sneered: "No, no, you misunderstood. That's not what we meant. We need the customer's information to avoid opening the wrong lock."
Shen Lie said impatiently: "Hurry up and drive."
The two men took tools and opened the lock.
When they were about to leave, Lu Taoyao poked her head out of the Shen family's house.
The eyes of these two people were immediately fixed on Lu Taoyao.
Shen Lie took a step forward to block their gaze, and said coolly: "Take your gaze away, and don't think that I don't know what you are doing in the south of the city.
I can't control what you do outside, but if you dare to come to my house, you should first refer to the fate of Boss Liao of Ye Mei Bar."
Half a month ago, the incident where the number one figure in the gray zone, Boss Liao, and his gang were tricked into having their homes taken away, shocked both the black and white circles in City A.
Those two people had some thoughts about Lu Taoyao just now, thinking that since they knew Lu Taoyao's home address, they would be able to wait until she was alone, and then they would be able to take action.
Now that they were warned by Shen Lie and forced by Shen Lie's strong aura, they immediately gave up the idea.
After bowing and apologizing repeatedly, he ran away with his tail between his legs.
Lu Taoyao was dumbfounded and a little scared at the same time: "This... I found a regular locksmith company, how could something like this happen?
Fortunately, you are here today, otherwise I don’t know what would have happened!”
Shen Lie glanced at Lu Taoyao and subconsciously wanted to call him if anything like this happened again.
But when the words came to his lips, he held them back forcefully.
His relationship with her is not that close yet.
After the door opened, Shen Lie was still uneasy and asked a reliable person he knew to change the lock cylinder of Lu Taoyao's house before leaving.
When he left, Lu Taoyao thanked him profusely.
Shen Lie said uncomfortably: "You don't have to be like this. You treated me to breakfast this morning, and I will treat it as repaying your breakfast. We don't owe each other anything."
Lu Taoyao was helpless: "Do we have to be so clear-cut between the two of us?"
Shen Lie didn't say anything, got on the motorcycle and drove away.
…
At night, there was an underground KTV in the north of the city.
Shen Lie was sitting among a group of people smoking. Opposite him was another group of people, and the one in the middle was the owner of the locksmith company that Lu Taoyao called today.
The boss is a man in his early thirties, with a shaved head and an obvious scar on his face.
He smiled and toasted to Shen Lie: "Xiao Lie, I heard from my subordinates today that they had a misunderstanding with you this morning when they took the order to unlock the door.
I will specially come to the north of the city to treat you to a drink tonight. I will explain this matter clearly and clear up the misunderstanding. Our two blocks in the south and north of the city are next to each other, so please don’t create any barriers because of this."
Shen Lie glanced at Boss Chen of the locksmith company and saw through his hypocritical smile at a glance.
But he still picked up the wine and touched it with Boss Chen from afar: "Boss Chen is right, I'm just a little gangster who takes orders and helps people see the scene. I'm not worthy of Boss Chen's invitation to me so grandly." .”
Boss Chen continued with a fake smile: "Xiao Lie, you don't have to be humble. Who in our City A doesn't know that you are a powerful person?
But you can rest assured, my brothers and I are doing a really serious business now, and our locksmith company is really legal, compliant, and clean.
I also sincerely want to make friends with you, so don’t think too much about it. If you want as many girls as you want tonight, I, Brother Chen, will be blamed for it!"
Shen Lie brought up Boss Liao's matter, which sounded the alarm to all the "bosses" in gray areas in City A.
Boss Chen was really afraid that Shen Lie would be impulsive and report his locksmith company.
It's not that Shen Lie doesn't understand the rules of the road. Boss Chen has set his arrogance so low. If he doesn't give him face again, he will offend others.
He picked up the wine glass and toasted to Boss Chen: "Brother Chen is very generous, so I won't be polite. I'll drink more wine, and forget about women."
Boss Chen breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that Shen Lie was still on the right track, but he naturally took Shen Lie's statement that he didn't want a woman as a polite word.
He was well versed in the fun of young people, so he secretly added some foreign "new drugs" that were not prohibited but were fun to drink in Shen Lie's wine.
After Shen Lie drank several rounds of wine, he felt that his whole body was getting hotter and hotter, and his head felt dizzy and swollen.
He noticed something strange, and forced himself to send a message to Shouhou: "Jane Eyre KTV, if something happens, come pick me up quickly."
As a result, I was so drunk that I couldn't see the screen clearly and sent a message to Lu Taoyao by mistake.
