Previously, when I took out a sum of money to give to them, Little Fatty was truly touched. At that moment, he really wanted to tell me that there was poison in the wine and that I shouldn't drink it, because it was a drop of colorless, odorless, poisonous liquid. When the four-eyed man and Octopus went to the toilet, he dropped it into my cup.
However, he still couldn't overcome the hurdle in his heart, which led to the current situation. Moreover, I felt that if the other party knew that I wasn't dead, they would probably get rid of Little Fatty's parents immediately.
This way, even if he went to the netherworld, he wouldn't be able to rest in peace. That was why I couldn't appear in public right now. Perhaps there were spies hidden near the restaurant, or even in the main hall!
I looked around carefully. There weren't any cameras installed in the room, which made me feel slightly relieved. Then, I laid on the floor and pretended to be on the verge of death. I purposely avoided Little Fatty, who was on the other side. Octopus took two pictures of me. After checking them, he sent them over.
After seeing the pictures, Lin Xiao Ya was extremely excited and quickly replied, "Wow, Fatty, you're too awesome! You have the courage of a man. Even the boss that I respected the most was poisoned to death by you!"
Seeing this, I was a little speechless. After thinking for a while, I replied, "I'm panicking now. What if he appears in my dreams?!"
"Aiya, how is that possible? This is the era of science, don't believe in such things. You, you're just too kind. What did he do to you? It's just some tricks to buy people's hearts. If it wasn't for the fact that I suggested a fixed salary, he definitely wouldn't care about your life or death!" Lin Xiao Ya's words were filled with disdain.
I couldn't help but feel my face stiffen. I didn't have much in common with this kind of woman. Moreover, when I scrolled through the chat history, I realized that Lin Xiao Ya had been badmouthing me a lot. Since a while ago, she had started to think of ways to sway Little Fatty's heart. She said that I had soared to the sky with a net worth of tens of millions, while Little Fatty was still worrying about supporting a girlfriend like her. There was really no comparison.
Little Fatty said, "Don't bring up these topics. I'm already very good to them. One shouldn't push one's luck." Lin Xiaoya didn't agree. She gave me all kinds of examples and analyzed them, making me look like I was worthless.
As expected, this woman wasn't easy to deal with. She couldn't wait for me to earn ten million and give it to the elders of Fengliu Hall. It would be best if I could give more to Little Fatty. That way, I could be extravagant.
Actually, I don't have much money right now. Besides, even if I have more money, I can't do it like that. It's not that I'm a miser. Everyone's wealth is equal to their ability. Besides, Lin Xiao Ya is the same type of woman as Tu Fangfang. Even if the Liu Family has tens of millions in assets, she can still find a way to transfer it to her name.
It was clear that a woman with a good moral character was too important to a man. Even if I gave Little Fatty and the others a lot of money, if they didn't have the ability to match it, it would just be eating away the mountain and in the end, it would harm them.
On the other hand, they used their own hands to work hard and obtain what they wanted step by step. This was another aspect of it. They could also have a sense of accomplishment. This was the most precious thing. Back then, I was also poor and had to rely on my own hard work to accumulate the small achievements I had today.
I felt lucky that my sister-in-law and the others were sensible women. Even if I gave them money, they would save it instead of spending it extravagantly. I had to admit that it was a blessing that I had accumulated in my previous life to be able to meet them.
I felt lucky. Luckily, my sister-in-law and the others were sensible women. Even if I gave them money, they would save it and not spend it extravagantly. I had to admit that meeting them was a blessing that I had accumulated in my previous life.
I didn't think so.
After a while, the four-eyed man forced a smile at me. "Boss, I'm going to the toilet and have a smoke."
"Wait a moment. Just take a bottle of wine and make do with it. Don't go out to smoke. Just smoke in the room. We're all men anyway. It doesn't matter." I shook my head and stopped him.
Since the air-conditioner was on, there was a 'No Smoking' sign on the wall. I could understand the four-eyed man's mood. Even though I had explained that Little Fatty's cause of death was a poisonous insect, he was still anxious. Octopus wasn't any better. They had both beaten Little Fatty up, but they didn't use enough strength.
Moreover, he was just lying on the side. His piercing gaze was especially frightening.
Since I had been through a lot of life and death situations, I was more courageous than them. However, the current situation was special. I felt that something was about to happen. Moreover, before I thought of the next step, I couldn't leave the room rashly.
If I did that, the news would be leaked and Little Fatty's parents would suffer. Since he was already dead, I didn't want to cause another tragedy. I had to be careful.
"Alright." Four-eyes nodded. He was a little fidgety and lit a cigarette. He had never thought that he would encounter such a thing in his life. Previously, when he led others to fight at school, he had lost an arm or a leg. That was already considered serious. It was the first time that someone had died in a fight.
Moreover, the four-eyed man didn't understand what I was worried about. After all, we were in different worlds. It was normal that he couldn't understand my thoughts.
On the other hand, Octopus looked pensive. In this regard, he was much calmer. As for the four-eyed man, he was more like me in the past. This wasn't a good thing. No matter what happened, you had to be calm. Otherwise, you would be easily taken advantage of.
Around one or two minutes later, someone knocked on the door. The four-eyed man and the others were startled. "Hello, I'm the waiter. Would you like some soup?"
As soon as they heard the voice, they were even more frightened. They couldn't help but look at me. If they opened the door, the news of Little Fatty's death would be exposed. Since the three of us had more or less been involved in the case, they didn't really believe it since they hadn't encountered any venomous insects before.
"No need. There's still a lot of soup in the pot." I directly rejected the waiter.
"Oh, do you want to add some dishes? Our restaurant is having an event today. Some dishes are buy one and get one free. I have a menu here. You can take a look!" The waiter didn't want to give up.
"Forget it. We don't have much appetite. This is enough." I still didn't want to open the door.
"Well, sir, please open the door. There are not enough plates in the kitchen. I need to clean them up. Please cooperate with me." It seemed that he was determined to come in.
