Paying the Bullies in Kind Chapter 4

This problem was also expected by Liam Zhao.

He followed Nathan Tao for five days, watching everything about Nathan Tao in the dark, watching him sweating profusely under the sun and handing out leaflets, watching him wearing a doll costume on the roadside as he wolfed down lunch boxes, and watching him walking anxiously late at night. I rushed home and was fascinated by what I saw.

During the few years that Liam Zhao followed the rules, Tao Zhizhen was an unexpected surprise.

At first, Liam Zhao felt that his behavior was dark and even shameful, but after two or three days, he began to enjoy the secret pleasure brought by this kind of snooping. His feelings were similar to a kind of control---I know everything about you, and I will control you. Play in the palm of your hand.

It seems that the six years that Nathan Tao lost can be regained again.

Then, Liam Zhao began the second step of his plan, naturally appearing next to Nathan Tao and becoming his "kind customer, friend, and confidant."

"I'm from Linhai University."

Liam Zhao answered Nathan Tao's question. He originally wanted to make up a random school, but in order to leave a better impression on Nathan Tao, he told the truth. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Nathan Tao was so surprised that his eyes widened. It was brighter than the street lights outside the window. He asked repeatedly: "Are you from Linhai University?"

Is there anything special? Liam Zhao said: "Yes, I just passed the exam this year. What's wrong?"

"What a coincidence, what a coincidence!" Nathan Tao's face was full of joy. He raised his face and was about to say something, but he hesitated and swallowed it. He praised first, "You are so awesome. You are among the top three in the country." "

Liam Zhao saw that this sentence was just a cover-up for the next sentence. Sure enough, Nathan Tao said with urgency, "Actually, I also know a student from Linhai University. He is also a freshman, but he is from Zhongzhou City. He was also very good after passing the exam."

This sentence was like a thin needle, slowly piercing Liam Zhao's heart. There was no bleeding and no pain, but there was a dull feeling sticking out of his heart. He thought, do you still remember Caleb Tao? ?

He said "hmm" softly. Nathan Tao looked at his face, slowed down his tone, and said with some caution: "You haven't started school yet, so you may not know him, but you are all alumni. From now on, Maybe we'll know each other."

"Yes." Liam Zhao fixed his eyes on an unfocused spot in the aisle, organizing his social language. After a long time, he asked: "What is his name, and what major is he in?"

"His surname is Zhong, and his name is Zhong Yinxuan. I don't know which major he is..."

Nathan Tao's voice gradually became quieter, and then Liam Zhao asked again: "Then you can ask him what his major is."

They have no contact information now. Liam Zhao knew that Nathan Tao could not find him at all, but there was still a sour smell in his heart. He began to think, did Nathan Tao come to the sea not for Lucas Zhang, but for him?

No, Liam Zhao quickly denied his suspicion. He knew that he didn't have much importance in Nathan Tao's heart. Maybe he just stopped by to have a look, or maybe he would borrow money or ask for money? Yes, money is a good thing, and 500,000 is enough to make them go in different directions.

Nathan Tao thought for a while before replying: "To tell you the truth, I haven't contacted him for a long time. He is my younger brother. I heard that he got into a good school and I want to congratulate him."

Liam Zhao felt that he did not need such congratulations.

He said "Oh" and asked, "Then how did you know he was at Linhai University?"

Nathan Tao paused for a moment before replying: "I heard what others said."

Liam Zhao guessed that this "other person" was probably his parents, because the only people who knew his whereabouts and had contact with Nathan Tao were his parents. But Liam Zhao didn't plan to ask them about it, because it wasn't important, and because he was tired of communicating with his parents.

It was also at this moment that Liam Zhao suddenly had another idea in his mind, an idea that was basically consistent with his original trajectory but with slight changes. He blurted out: "When school starts and I get to know some classmates, I will help you ask that person, Zhong Yinxuan, Is it right?"

"Yes, it's Zhong Yinxuan," Nathan Tao's cheeks turned red, as if he couldn't believe it when he encountered some great happy event, "Is it really okay? Well, thank you, classmate Zhao, you are such a good person!"

Liam Zhao said calmly: "You're welcome, it's just a casual thing. You're a nice person. You even gave me soy milk, so we treat it as a friend."

Nathan Tao said "Hmm" heavily, as if he was overjoyed. He looked out the window again and again, stared ahead for a while, and stole a few glances at Liam Zhao. Liam Zhao pretended not to know.

Nathan Tao was still excited all the way off the bus. He pointed in the opposite direction to the red light district and said: "Two hundred meters ahead, turn right and you'll find Taoyuan Middle Road. It's too late. I'll take you home first." "

After saying that, he walked forward, and Liam Zhao said: "No, do you still need to send me off? I'm not a child."

"You are just eighteen years old. I am six years older than you. You are the same age as my younger brother. I look at you just like him."

Nathan Tao smiled slightly, but Liam Zhao felt very uncomfortable. He thought of his lust for Nathan Tao and felt that they were in two different worlds. Besides, is six years old a big thing?

"Don't say that. Zhong Yinxuan is your brother, but I'm not. You can't claim to be your brother just because I'm the same age as him."

Nathan Tao's smile froze in embarrassment on his face, and he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I'm sorry, classmate Zhao."

"fine."

Liam Zhao knew that what he said was rude, but he didn't want Nathan Tao to be afraid of him, so he said something else to ease the atmosphere: "I'm taller and stronger than you. Even if someone wants to pick someone to rob, they won't pick me." Bar."

"Ah...yes..."

"Which direction is your home?"

Nathan Tao glanced at the red light district and said with some embarrassment: "If you want to cross this street, it's okay not to go here, but there are so many people here and the other roads are too quiet."

Liam Zhao understood and said, "I've been here too, let's come together."

Before Nathan Tao could ask again, Liam Zhao had already taken a step forward, and Nathan Tao followed him in small steps. When the two of them walked past, they attracted the attention of many people. Several people wanted to come forward, but Nathan Tao was stopped by them. Zhi stopped him in advance: "No need."

Liam Zhao looked at his serious look and said, "You are very experienced."

"After all, I walk every day and they all know me. You'd better not take this road in the future. Those people are very shameless."

"Um."

Under Nathan Tao's "protection", the two finally passed through the red light district. Going further forward was the self-built housing area where Nathan Tao's family was located. Liam Zhao pretended not to know and said, "I'm going to turn left. How about you?" ? "

"I'll go straight." Nathan Tao pointed over there and said, "Go back quickly, Mr. Zhao. Don't go home so late in the future. There will inevitably be drunkards and second-rate people at night. You have to pay attention to your safety."

This was what Liam Zhao was waiting for, and he said it smoothly: "I am also working part-time. If I work the night shift, I will get off work very late. There is nothing I can do."

Nathan Tao was surprised: "You work? Why do you..."

"When you become an adult, you have to start working on your own life. It is also very common to earn some living expenses before starting school."

"Yes." Nathan Tao thought thoughtfully and showed admiration in his eyes, "Classmate Zhao, you are indeed very powerful."

Liam Zhao shook his head and said, "I'm leaving."

"Hmm, come back quickly. I have to leave too. When you get home, you can send me..."

Nathan Tao suddenly stopped mid-sentence, then touched his nose and was about to turn around, but Liam Zhao stopped him: "Leave your contact information. We have about the same time to get off work, so we can go home together."

"Besides," Liam Zhao added, "I will help you find Zhong Yinxuan in the future."

Nathan Tao's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said yes. Then he took out the Nokia from his pocket. He must have said the same thing as he was used to saying. He pressed the screen to light up and said, "I still use this kind of phone, but I'm used to it, it's convenient and has all the functions."

Liam Zhao's Adam's apple twitched, and in the end he only said one word: "Yeah."

After adding their contact information, the two said goodbye completely, but in fact Liam Zhao did not leave. He hid in the night under the eaves, watching Nathan Tao's back gradually disappear at the end of the street. It was a lonely figure, walking at a slightly faster pace, and it only slightly overlapped with the "brother" in Liam Zhao's memories.

From the reunion to the present, Liam Zhao has been unable to connect the current Nathan Tao with his former brother. The brother who adopted him, raised him, and gave him all love and attention seemed to have died on the eve of dawn, and now the brother who abandoned him The person who is looking for him and putting him under mental pressure is another bad guy using the name Nathan Tao.

During this period, Liam Zhao was sometimes very thoughtful, setting up countless checkpoints in the dense net he laid for himself in order to successfully capture Nathan Tao. Sometimes he was conflicted, was it necessary? Did he hate it so much? Would you be satisfied after doing all this?

He knew he had to do it, but he didn't know how to do it right, so in the end, he decided to follow his heart and become a revenger. He had to vent the emotions he had suppressed for six years.

In this way, Liam Zhao and Nathan Tao naturally became friends. They would not go together in the morning, but they would go home together in the evening, walk through the red light district together, and then separate at the end of the alley. After returning home, they would say to each other, "I'm here." ""Rest early, good night".

In fact, Liam Zhao had a hotel room on Taoyuan Middle Road for a month.

They seemed to be familiar with each other, but it was no different from before. Mr. Nathan Tao said, "I feel safe going home with you. I always felt like someone was following me before."

Liam Zhao said, don't scare yourself, who is following you for what?

Nathan Tao hesitated to speak, Liam Zhao knew what he was worried about, Lucas Zhang.

Lucas Zhang has been out of the police for a few days, but he has not been seen recently. Liam Zhao feels that this person is not someone who will give up. Although he hates him, he currently needs this person to appear.

So on a Friday afternoon, Liam Zhao sent a message to Nathan Tao saying that he couldn't go home together tonight because he had something to do, so it would be best for Nathan Tao to go back.

Then, Liam Zhao continued to follow Nathan Tao at the normal time. He speculated that if nothing unexpected happened, Lucas Zhang would show up when Nathan Tao was alone.

After passing through the red light district, they arrived at the dimly lit alley. Nathan Tao seemed to have noticed something. He kept looking back and walking faster and faster. Liam Zhao did not continue to follow. With Nathan Tao's current vigilance, he could easily be fooled. He found out, but just when he was about to leave, he found that a figure that he looked forward to and hated at the same time came out from the other side of the alley---Lucas Zhang.

Nathan Tao was so frightened that he shouted, then took a few steps back. Lucas Zhang's voice came from the other end of the alley: "I said, Nathan Tao, where did you hire a bodyguard, or is it your new love? I don't dare to do it these days. Come here, what are you doing to protect me?"

Nathan Tao said hastily: "You are following me, you are really following me!"

"What does tracking mean? You don't see me? What's your number? Send it to me. Hurry up."

Lucas Zhang took out his mobile phone, and Nathan Tao turned to leave but was pulled back by him. He lowered his voice and said something. Liam Zhao couldn't hear clearly, but he could see the shadow of their tugging, and the anxiety in his heart suddenly rose. .

Originally, he wanted to wait until Nathan Tao was entangled to the point where he couldn't get away before showing up to help, but now, he just wanted to punch Lucas Zhang to death.

So, he walked out of the alley.
