Chapter 585

Hei Xia Zi appeared in the eyewear store on time, holding an exquisite mahogany food box in his hand, which seemed to be emitting bursts of hot steam, making people curious about what delicious food was inside.

"Xiao Luo!" Hei Xia Zi's voice was loud and friendly. "Come and help me distribute these to everyone. I brought these back specially from the Crescent Hotel. You all know that everything in the Crescent Hotel is extremely expensive! It's only because I, your Hei Ye, am so proud of you that the Crescent Hotel begged me to give them to you!"

Hei Xia Zi handed the lunch box to Xiao Luo, the waiter from last time, and then sat down leisurely on a high stool nearby. His posture was very casual, one hand resting easily on the white glasses display cabinet, and the other hand casually hanging on his knee, revealing a casual and confident temperament.

Xiao Luo happily took the food box from Hei Xia Zi and held it carefully, as if it contained a rare treasure. He quickly walked to a plastic table in the corner and gently placed the food box on it.

"Come on, come on!" Xiao Luo shouted excitedly, "Hei Ye is spending a lot of money today! Everyone will get a share!" His voice echoed in the store, attracting the attention of the other guys.

Xiao Luo quickly opened the food box, took out the snacks one by one, and placed them neatly on the table. These snacks looked delicious and mouth-watering.

However, in the busy process, Xiao Luo's eyes were not idle. He observed every guy who came over calmly, as if paying attention to their reactions and actions.

Sure enough, the young man who took the initiative to talk to Ronaldinho last time, like being attracted by a magnet, once again came close to Ronaldinho.

Hei Xia Zi sat off to the side, wearing his trademark sunglasses that completely concealed his eyes. However, even though the sunglasses obscured his vision, from behind them, one could sense a pair of inorganic, mechanical eyes staring intently at the young man, without a moment's slack.

At the same time, Hei Xia Zi's fingers tapped rhythmically on his knees, making a slight and monotonous sound.

Although Xiao Luo didn't look directly at Hei Xia Zi, he caught a glimpse of Hei Xia Zi's fingers tapping on his knees. He immediately understood that this was a unique code between them, and he had a clue in his mind.

"Hey, young man, I see you've been here for a while. I don't even know your name yet." Xiao Luo smiled and enthusiastically took the initiative to talk to the young man who came over.

The young man obviously didn't expect Xiao Luo to greet him so proactively. He showed an expression of being flattered and stammered, "Luo...Luo Luo Luo Ge, my...my surname is Huang, and my given name is Wen, which means Wen Wen. Luo Luo Luo Ge, just call me Xiao Huang."

Xiao Luo was all smiles, looking relaxed and at ease, as if completely oblivious to Huang Wen's nervousness. He even patted Huang Wen on the back and soothed him, "Don't be nervous! How can you call me Xiao Huang? It sounds just like you're calling a pet dog! How about this, Brother Luo, I'll just call you Xiao Wen. What do you think?"

As Xiao Luo spoke, he carefully observed Huang Wen's every move. As he expected, when Huang Wen heard the words "like barking at the dog at home," a subtle hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

However, Xiao Luo was not frightened by this murderous intent. Instead, he was secretly delighted because he had already received the reaction he wanted, which made him more confident in the subsequent communication.

Huang Wen quickly concealed the murderous intent in his eyes, raised his head and looked at Xiao Luo with tears in his eyes.

"Brother Luo, this is the first time someone has called me that! My parents always call me Little Yellow at home! But there's a big yellow dog near my house. Every time my parents call me, the big yellow dog will run in from the doorway and then circle around my parents' legs."

Xiao Luo raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of Huang Wen's eyes. "Oh! You are such a pitiful child! Okay, okay, don't cry! Now no one in the store will call you Xiao Huang anymore."

Xiao Luo continued, "Xiao Wen, you've been in our store for a while now. How do you feel about our store? If there's anything you don't like, don't hesitate to tell me. As long as you call me brother, I promise to take care of it for you!"

After saying that, Xiao Luo patted his chest to show Huang Wen his sincerity and determination, and said that no matter what request Huang Wen made, he would try his best to meet it.

When Xiao Luo hooked his arm around Huang Wen and turned around, the fingers on Huang Wen's back moved slightly. Hei Xia Zi also received the message from Xiao Luo, turned his head to look at the people who were eating happily, and raised his hand to make a gesture.

The few people who were originally wondering why Luo Ge didn't come over to enjoy tea and snacks together, and why he got along so well with the newcomer, suddenly understood as if they had suddenly been enlightened after seeing the instructions given by Hei Xia Zi - there was a traitor in their store!

Several people exchanged glances, and began to quietly adjust their body direction and posture. On the surface, they seemed to be still arguing loudly about who had eaten an extra piece of cake, but in fact, their footsteps were slowly and unconsciously approaching Luo Ge and the newcomer.

"Brother Luo, I do have a very tricky matter here. I wonder if you can help me solve it?" Huang Wen looked embarrassed and seemed a little hesitant when he spoke, as if he had a thousand concerns in his mind.

"What could possibly stump you, Xiaowen? Just tell me. I'm telling you, in Yanjing City, there's nothing our Hei Ye can't do! Even if Hei Ye is powerless, he still has Hua Er Ye backing him up!"

Luo Ge smiled, waved his arm, and then quickly leaned close to Huang Wen's ear and whispered a secret. Huang Wen was a little embarrassed at first, but with Luo Ge's encouragement, he no longer hesitated and also leaned close to Luo Ge's ear and whispered, "This matter is actually not too difficult, it's just..."

However, Huang Wen paused before he could finish his words, remaining silent for a long moment. Seeing this, Luo Ge raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile. He stared at Huang Wen intently and pressed, "What is it? Is it really that difficult?"

At that moment, Luo Ge's left hand, like lightning, tightly grasped Huang Wen's wrist, which was tightly gripping the dagger. Huang Wen's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that his intentions had been seen through. His face instantly turned gloomy, and he suddenly moved his feet and quickly kicked Luo Ge.

However, Luo Ge's reaction speed was extremely fast. He quickly raised his leg and easily blocked Huang Wen's attack. Huang Wen's attack was neutralized, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he quickly changed his strategy and used a trick to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.

Huang Wen suddenly shouted, attracting Luo Ge's attention. At the same time, he suddenly pulled his wrist and took advantage of the moment when Luo Ge was distracted to successfully break free from his control.

"You've known my true identity for a long time. It's a pity that you've been acting with me for so long." Huang Wen smiled bitterly. He could never have imagined that everything he had planned so carefully was just a farce in the eyes of the other party.

"Thank you so much! If you hadn't done anything in the secret room, I might not have discovered your identity." Luo Ge had a smug smile on his face. He felt like a hunter, and Huang Wen was the prey that was being played around with by him.

Luo Ge and the other shop assistants surrounded Huang Wen, forming an airtight circle. Huang Wen's heartbeat began to accelerate, and he felt an unprecedented pressure enveloping him.

"You think too highly of yourself, always thinking that your little tricks can fool everyone, but you don't know that you are the prey being hunted." Luo Ge's voice echoed in Huang Wen's ears, as if it was a mockery of him.

Huang Wen's expression darkened, and he glared at Luo Ge fiercely, "Humph! Then there's no need for me to say any more nonsense!"

Huang Wen looked around and found that they had blocked all the roads, leaving only a gap for him. However, Huang Wen knew very well that the gap that looked like an exit was actually a trap, a door to hell.

"If you know what's good for you, get out of here. I can still consider giving you a way out. But if you insist on making things difficult for me, don't blame me for disregarding the 'brotherhood' we've had for several months!" Huang Wen said gritting his teeth, his voice revealing a hint of despair and determination.
