Stop and give you a pocket watch!

Chapter 20

But just let you lie and worm away the old white-headed coffin?Xiao Bai snorted inwardly, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It's no wonder you know each other!"

"How can I not know each other? I have watched the young master grow up since I was a child. Even if my old eyes are dizzy, I still can't forget my duty." The manager, who is quite talkative, is not usually in the factory, so why is he here guarding today?

Xiao Bai was unhappy, so he said: "Okay, okay, open the door as soon as you recognize it, someone should come to work, and you plan to lock him out?"

The man opened his mouth in surprise, and through the door, he lost his voice and said, "Shanggong? Didn't the master say to stop for a few days before talking? Could it be that the young master came to inform Shanggong today that everything has been resolved?"

"Stop for a few days?" Xiaobai almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. He didn't know how much loss it would be if he stopped working for a day, but judging from the old Baitou's usual performance, it is enough to make him make such a decision. The situation has reached the worst point.What's more, it's still a few days...

"Yeah, doesn't the young master know?"

"How could I not know!" Xiaobai adjusted quickly, with a calm expression, but his heart seemed to be full of turmoil, and he said, "It's because of this that I came here on purpose."

When the man saw what he said, he nodded and bowed his head: "Yes, yes... the master was injured the day before yesterday, so he couldn't run around anymore. Now, the young master needs to think of a way to deal with the matter here. Everyone is waiting to eat, so it won't be delayed." Sorry."

As he spoke, he took out a key from his waist to unlock the lock, looked around cautiously, and said, "Let's talk about it after you come in, young master. Hey, those people have gotten worse these days. Look at this door. How was it smashed into?"

It was only then that Xiaobai discovered that the iron gate was full of potholes, and it could be seen that many of them were newly smashed, and the scars from the peeling paint were very fresh... With a drum in his heart, he took Chai Lin in, and the man Hastily locked it again.

"Who did this? It's so courageous. Doesn't anyone care about this?"

The steward made a bitter face, and said: "No one knows what's going on now. This area was originally calm and well-managed. The local hooligans have never dared to cause trouble, but recently there have been more incidents. First, the people above The one who refused to accept our filial piety, followed by frequent accidents with the partners. Two days ago, suddenly even these bastards joined in the fun, saying that we owed protection fees for many years, and their eldest brother was not happy. ..."

"Brother what?" Xiao Bai frowned, hearing in a fog.

The man shook his head and said: "The devil would know, I've never heard of such a person, who seems to have jumped out of the ground."

"Didn't call the police?"

"Oh, my young master, if calling the police is useful, how could it be possible to make such a fuss? It's like an appointment. These accidents happen one after another. If there is no scheme by the enemy, I wouldn't believe it if I killed the little one."

"But when did our Bai family end up with such an enemy?" Xiao Bai sneered, and said, "Father also has a few friends in the business field, so no one came out to help this time?"

The steward sighed, his back collapsed all of a sudden, and said: "It's not that the young man speaks badly, young master. At this time, although the situation is unclear, a discerning person can see at a glance that there are definitely people who are plotting against our Bai family behind the scenes." It’s not a small background, otherwise we wouldn’t be caught off guard all of a sudden, and we still can’t find out who it is... In such a situation, it’s good if people don’t come to make trouble, so how can there be anyone who can come to help? .”

Xiaobai's nose was sour when he thought about how the old man was sent home by the workers that day.

"But with the three melons and two dates we earned, which big shot would figure it out?"

The manager shook his head, his face darkened. He and Lao Bai had discussed this issue countless times in private, but they had no clue at all.

Just as he was talking, there was a commotion outside, Xiaobai stood up, listened carefully, and was about to go out, the manager hurriedly stopped him, and said anxiously: "Oh, why are those people here again? Fixed point, hey... when will I be able to resume work..."

The obscene words from outside came vaguely through the many checkpoints. After listening for a while, Xiaobai turned around, his face changed with anger, and said: "This is the local hooligan you just said came here? The door is also Did they smash it?"

"That's right, it's fierce!" The steward sighed and said, "But it's okay, as long as we don't say a word and ignore it, they will leave after a while, nothing will happen." Speaking of this, I heard a loud noise. The sound seemed to be made by bricks hitting the iron gate, followed by laughter, which was very arrogant.

Xiaobai couldn't bear it any longer, waved his hands and said, "I'll go out and have a look!"

Chai Lin hastily stopped him, and the person in charge also hurriedly grabbed him and refused to let go, saying: "Little ancestor, you can't do it, these people are bastards, we can't go out, the master went out to reason with them that day, and his head was smashed." broken!"

Xiaobai was still struggling at first, but after hearing this sentence, he suddenly became still. After a long time, he said lightly: "What did you say? Say it again..."

The manager slipped away, and his face turned pale. That day when the old white head came home, he told his family that the machine was accidentally smashed. Although Mrs. Bai couldn't help nagging, she didn't take it as a big deal. After the doctor came to bandage, he didn't ask any more questions.

"My dad was also beaten by those people outside?" Xiaobai's face was gloomy, and he looked at the steward with flickering eyes, and there was a chilling aura all over his body.

The manager shrank his head and refused to say any more.Xiaobai calmed down, and said, "Uncle Zhao, Ah Lin and I are juniors. We grew up at home, and you were the ones who watched us grow up. You are like our own uncle. Now that this is the case, don't you want to keep it a secret?" ? Dad has been injured, and as a son of man, I am always entitled to know the truth."

Manager Zhao looked at him stutteringly, still hesitating, Chai Lin said: "Uncle Zhao, if it's really inconvenient for you to say it, then forget it, but you also know my brother's temper, he is born in the year of a cow, he has a tendon, he follows you If you can't get an answer here, you will definitely pester your godfather when you go back... Now that your godfather is not in good health, you don't want to see their father and son quarreling again, do you?"

He glanced at Xiaobai and said, "Uncle Zhao, tell my brother the truth. When we get home, I promise my brother won't bring this up in front of his godfather!"

Zhao Guanshi saw that this matter could not be passed, he stomped his feet and said, "Really...really, little ancestor, come here today, the master doesn't even know about it!"

Chai Lin nodded with a slight smile, and there is nothing to hide now.

Manager Zhao stumbled greatly, and regretted how he had led the wolf into the house. He had no choice but to tell the story of that day in detail. At the end, he said: "If the master knows about this, I will take care of it." Great sin!"

Chai Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Zhao, the two of us haven't been here today, so godfather won't know."

"Okay, okay, that's good!" Manager Zhao wiped the sweat off his brow, and said, "After a while the outside quiets down, the two young masters should go back early, it's freezing cold, don't always run outside , the matter here, there is the master and us, so the young master doesn't have to worry too much."

Xiao Bai's face was very ugly, he hadn't said a word since just now, his eyes were gloomy, he didn't know what he was thinking.Chai Lin was a little worried, poked him secretly, and said in a low voice, "Brother?"

Xiaobai was awakened by the sound, and looked back at him. The obscenity outside continued. Chailin saw his eyes getting darker and darker, and there was a faint pulsating vein on his forehead. Before he could come up with a countermeasure, Xiaobai jumped up, grabbed the latch from the back of the door with lightning speed and rushed out.

"Oh!" Chai Lin was startled and rushed out. He knew Xiaobai too well. Every time Xiaobai was upset, he was expressionless, but when the vein on his forehead popped, he basically lost his sense of reason.

Listening to the movement outside, there should be more than ten people coming, and he ran out alone, as the saying goes, a good man is hard to beat with four hands... If he is really beaten up, it will be over.Manager Zhao was also taken aback, and hurriedly followed after staying for a moment.

Outside the door, Xiaobai and Chai Lin were already entangled. The people outside scolded chickens for several days. Seeing that a living person finally came out, they were immediately excited, but because the iron door was locked tightly, the two sides could not get close for the time being. , Has already started to throw stones and sticks in a hurry.

Chailin dragged Xiaobai desperately, while carefully dodging those flying objects, it was very hard work.But Xiaobai didn't appreciate it at all. When he was angry, he was so powerful that Chai Lin couldn't hold back. He was dragged by this man and rubbed a long path on the ground...

"Brother... Don't be impulsive, brother, there are so many people, you can't beat them!"

Fortunately, Guanshi Zhao had already run out at this time, seeing this situation, he quickly joined the battle group, and the two of them worked together to drag Xiao Bai back.The yard was already in a mess, Chai Lin took care of Xiaobai, his face was left with a mark from the thrown stick, from the corners of his eyes to his chin, swollen purple and red, he looked very miserable.

Xiaobai gasped heavily, looked at Chai Lin viciously, felt useless and furious in his heart, and couldn't help but burst out, "Do you have a brain problem!"

Chailin was hit hard, his eyes were a little hard to open, and he was so sore that he was about to cry, but he didn't dare to relax his vigilance and blocked the door. Hearing this, he was a little unhappy, and he pushed it without thinking: "You're the one Are you sick in your head, going out to die? You don’t even look at how many people there are, just relying on you to hold a door latch, you don’t know how you were beaten to death, your godfather was beaten like that, why don’t you learn any lessons ..."
