In the main road of the Development Zone in Sanzhen City, a sedan was parked. A man arrived, opened the car door, and immediately got in.

If Zheng Xiaotian were here, he would recognize the two people in the sedan. One was Young Master Xiao, and the other was Xiao Taobao.

"Little cousin, what's wrong? You look so dirty, and it seems like you've been in pain," Young Master Xiao asked, looking at Xiao Taobao.

"Big cousin, you have to stand up for me. I was beaten up by someone," Xiao Taobao's eyes were brimming with tears, and he was almost on the verge of crying.

"Take it easy, take it easy, don't cry," Young Master Xiao said, "We are men, we can't shed tears."

Then, Xiao Taobao recounted his encounter with Zheng Xiaotian, describing it as tragic and pitiful as possible.

"You're always like this, wanting revenge. If you say you're my brother, I wouldn't believe it. The other party was so disrespectful, they just beat you up without giving you any face," Young Master Xiao said.

"I did say it. I told them, 'Do you know who I am?' But they just said, 'I don't care who you are, I'll beat you up anyway,'" Xiao Taobao said.

"Was the other party really that arrogant?" Young Master Xiao looked into Xiao Taobao's eyes. As his cousin, he would help him, but he didn't like being lied to. If the situation was true, not only did the other party beat up his cousin, but they also disrespected him.

"Yes," Xiao Taobao nodded heavily.

"Alright, I understand. The other party is very arrogant, right? I think I'll let them know my strength," Young Master Xiao's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"I know their license plate number," Xiao Taobao said.

"Tell me!" Young Master Xiao said.

At the same time.

Zheng Xiaotian brought Lin Ziyuan to a Western restaurant.

The car stopped, and the two of them got out.

They sat down at a window seat in the restaurant.

"How do you like it here?" Lin Ziyuan pointed around and smiled at Zheng Xiaotian.

"Not bad!" Zheng Xiaotian glanced around and said.

Lin Ziyuan's attempt to test him failed. She still suspected that Zheng Xiaotian was pretending to have amnesia. Bringing him here was intentional. There was a story here, and if he came, he would surely show some excitement, surprise, or some strange expression.

Now, Zheng Xiaotian showed no reaction at all, which was the most annoying thing.

"Miss Lin, the usual?" The waiter came to Lin Ziyuan and politely asked.

"The usual," Lin Ziyuan said.

The waiter knew Lin Ziyuan, indicating how many times she had been here. This place was clearly very important to her.

"I haven't ordered anything yet," Zheng Xiaotian said. He mainly wanted to know the prices of the dishes. Then, he wanted to know what Lin Ziyuan ordered. If it exceeded a thousand yuan, he would remind her that he didn't have that much money.

"You don't need to order. Since I'm treating you, you can just eat with me," Lin Ziyuan waved her hand.

"But I'll pay the bill," Zheng Xiaotian said.

"How are you going to pay? Are you older than me?" Lin Ziyuan glanced at Zheng Xiaotian.

"Didn't you ask me to pay?" Zheng Xiaotian said.

"Forget it," Lin Ziyuan thought for a moment and said, "But you can't afford this meal anyway. Forget it, just buy me a piece of clothing later, and it will count as treating me to a meal."

Zheng Xiaotian thought, how does this feel like a loss? The meal was supposed to be on her. But if he bought her clothes, it would be entirely hers. If he treated her to a meal, he would at least get to eat five hundred yuan worth of food. If he bought her clothes, she would get a thousand yuan worth. What a bad deal.

The waiter brought the decanted red wine and elegantly poured it for the two of them.

Lin Ziyuan raised her glass and gestured to Zheng Xiaotian.

The two of them drank their wine while cars passed by on the street.

A sedan drove by, but it only went about ten meters before stopping.

"Big cousin, big cousin, I'm sure it's that BMW. I don't just hate that BMW; seeing it makes my little universe burn," Xiao Taobao pointed outside the car and shouted.

"If your little universe is burning, then go down there. Charge at them and use the Pegasus Meteor Fist to take them down," Young Master Xiao pointed at Xiao Taobao, "If you forget how to do it, use your phone, connect to the internet, log into iQiyi, and review the Saint Seiya series."

"Brother, are you really here to help me save face?" Xiao Taobao looked at Young Master Xiao.

"If you want me to help you save face, then don't keep whining," Young Master Xiao took out his phone and dialed a number.

Dial tone... On the other end, the phone rang.

At that moment, in a KTV room in the Development Zone of Sanzhen City, a man was working hard. The phone rang with a special ringtone, and he immediately stopped what he was doing, told the girl beneath him, "Don't talk, it's my boss's call."

The girl immediately shut up.

"Young Master Xiao!"

"Uh-huh."

"Looking for me?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Should I come to you?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then I'll hang up?"

"Uh-huh!"

The man felt that this conversation was very frustrating. Young Master Xiao was so laconic. He had to guess step by step. If he guessed right, he might get a bonus; if he guessed wrong, he would get scolded. If he asked where the other party was, the other party would be unhappy. But this didn't scare him. He could just use Apple's location services, and it wouldn't cost him anything, just a bit of free data.

In the sedan.

Xiao Taobao swallowed. He watched his big cousin make the call but didn't hear what the other party said. He only heard his big cousin say "uh-huh" four times before hanging up. What kind of conversation was this?

"We'll go down when the person arrives," Young Master Xiao said.

"Did you give the other party the address?"

"I let them guess. I believe they can guess it."

"So this call was just about them guessing the whole time?"

"Exactly!" Young Master Xiao nodded, "He's very smart, he guessed it all right. It's good, this way I maintain my mystery."

Xiao Taobao thought, what a神经 (nerve), it's just crazy. If you made me guess, I would guess wrong.
