Chapter 45 - Business Talks : Part 1

The boss grabbed Lin Li who wanted to chase the old man, and was just about to say: "You know him, so you have to pay for the porridge."

Before he could say anything though, Huang Ji had already handed the money to him.

Seeing Huang Ji leave straight away, and Lin Li quickly followed.

The old man is very familiar with the surrounding terrain, and walks around in the alley like a fish in the ocean.

However, Huang Ji can always find him no matter where he goes, and the old man can't get rid of him at all.

"That young man is not easy to dupe."

Whenever the old man looked back at a corner, he would see Huang Ji. The old man looked around to figure out any strategies.

"I can't run away like this, I must stop him."

The old man knocked on the stalls on the road as he ran. There are many shops selling small goods in this alley.

The old man quickened his pace after turning in a corner. He thought that he could get rid of them using this alley.

As expected, after changing the streets for three consecutive times, he did not see Huang ji chasing him.

"Huh! I'm out of breath."

The old man leaned against the wall in the alley to rest, and said to himself: "It's not easy to get even some pocket change these days."

He rested for a while, touched the golden carp in his arms, tidied up his clothes, while planning to exchange it for cash.

However, when he walked out of the alley ,he saw Huang Ji walking towards him with Lin Li!

The two are only two or three meters away from him!

"Oh F### !"

The old man trembled in shock!

This person is like a ghost chasing a person no matter where they go.

Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, coughing in his throat and a mouthful of sputum came out.

"Huh~Bah!"

Huang Ji can only dodge this mouthful of phlegm.

At the same time, the old man used this opportunity and went back into the alley again, running wildly.

"This man is so powerful, I am too old to run past the two young men."

The old man knows that running around like this is impossible. The opponent's tracking ability is extremely strong. No matter how he turned around Huang ji can catch up. At this point he is just competing for endurance.

When competing for endurance, how could he beat the youth?

Besides, he has already seen that Huang Ji has good physical fitness, a long breath, and strong cardiopulmonary function. That was the reason why he thought the other party was practicing track and field under cold reading before.

Turning the corner twice in a row, and seeing Huang Ji temporarily not following him, the old man opened the trash can next to him, and jumped into it.

The whole process was smooth and without hesitation.

Soon after, he heard Lin Li's voice : "That old man is really cunning. He spits when we meet to escape. It's disgusting!"

The sound of footsteps passed by the trash can quickly, and the old man hiding in it, slightly relieved.

But soon his heart raced again, because Lin Li's footsteps stopped shortly after running past the trash can.

"Big Brother? What's wrong? Why stop here?" Lin Li seemed to turn around to speak.

The old man frowned. It turned out that Huang Ji stopped his chase near the trash can.

"Why? Why would he stop here?"

"He won't find me hiding in the trash can, would he?"

While he was thinking like this when he heard Huang Ji's voice sound: "Come out, I know it's hard for you there."

"..." The old man didn't say a word.

"Big Brother? That old man is in the trash can?" Lin Li said, walking over to open the trash can.

I saw the old man nestled inside with a depressed look.

"Ha! Can you still run?" Lin Li said.

Now that he has been discovered, the old man has nothing to hide. He stood up and waved his hand: "I won't run, I won't be able to outrun you anyway!"

He is really depressed, he has never been in such a predicament due to a young man.

When crawl out, he was indeed a lot more honest, resting on his knees and shaking his head constantly.

"Repay the money!" Lin Li said.

The old man nodded and said, "Fine, but I want to ask, how did you know that I was hiding inside?"

Lin Li looked at Huang Ji, and Huang Ji said, "It's not easy for your size to enter into the trash can, especially if you don't want to make any movement or overturn the trash can, you must step on this Sofa to enter the trash can so that you can hide."

The old man looked at the sofa next to him. When he hid in the trash can before, and he did step on it to enter the trash can.

"So what?" The old man still didn't understand.

He saw Huang Ji walk up to the sofa and twist up a small inconspicuous fragment that was hooked on the broken sofa cushion.

The fragments was extremely small, like a small gravel.

"What is this?" Lin Li stared at him and muttered, "It seems like... a shell?"

Huang Ji corrected him and said: "It's the fragments of flower , there were many on the ground in front of the vendors who sold flowers..."

"..." The old man was dumbfounded and speechless.

Huang Ji looked at the old man and said, "Your shoe soles should have a lot of them. Just now when you ran away. I had seen it many times along the way."

"I passed here and saw a piece of flower hooked upon the sofa, indicating that you stepped on the sofa."

"What else can you do after you suddenly step on the sofa while running other that getting into into the trash can..."

The old man looked at Huang Ji as if he had seen a ghost, while cursing in his heart.

How careful was this guy?

During the fast chasing and running, he could still keenly spot a small piece of flower on the flannel of the broken sofa by the roadside?

How come young people are having so much wisdom, now?
