Chapter 987 First Encounter
"How do you know my name?"

The man became more alert.

"I just had a chat with your neighbor."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "It's an old man who lives on the fifth floor."

The man showed a look of realization on his face, and it seemed that he had some impression of the old man.

"A chatty old fellow."

The man muttered something under his breath.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Then we can be considered acquainted."

"Can we talk now?"

The man remained silent, his expression still showing some resistance and gloom.

Xiao Xiao took this as the other party's agreement with his statement.

"Do you know Cai Peng?"

Xiao Xiao went straight to the point.

Cai Peng is the name of Master Cai Tianshi.

When he saw the man's pupils suddenly shrink, he knew that the two men knew each other.

"So, it was you who sent the monster that scared Yu Xianya?"

The man with his eyes downcast froze, and a trace of panic flashed across his face.

Did you guess it right again?
"It seems that you have a good relationship with Cai Peng."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "Are you friends?"

So this man is standing up for his friend?

The man was about to say something when the cell phone on the coffee table vibrated.

Xiao Xiao smiled and motioned the man to answer the phone first.

……

To Xiao Xiao's surprise, the man did not pick up the phone, but squatted down and turned on the speakerphone.

Is this his unique habit?

"Master Yang!"

The male voice on the phone sounded unfamiliar, but perhaps it was someone familiar to him. "It's me, Dapeng."

Dapeng? Cai Peng?
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

What an interesting development.

……

"Master Yang, I just called the Yu family. Not only did they reject my request, but they also said that someone had solved the problem of that little girl Yu Xianya. They warned me that they would call the police if I called again."

The voice on the phone was loud and urgent. Cai Peng was obviously angry at the Yu family's attitude.

He didn't understand why the Yu family, who had not agreed to his request but had always been submissive to him, suddenly became tough?
Did they really find someone to solve Yu Xianya’s problem?

How can it be? !
He knew Master Yang's strength.

Absolutely unfathomable.

Unlike him, Master Yang has real talent and knowledge.

He couldn't help but think of his first meeting with Master Yang.

It was late at night, and he was staggering on his way home, half drunk.

He was scolded by his employer, who said... a fraud?
Tsk, what kind of fraud is this?
How could such mysterious things be true?
It's just people's suspicion.

Anyway, as long as he can justify himself, why bother about it so much?

Isn't it the people who believe in these things in the first place?
He was tired of flattering them.

Isn't it reasonable to pay some labor fees?
You miser, you deserve to be possessed by ghosts!
Pooh!
……

Just as he was cursing, his ears moved and he heard a strange noise coming from the alley in front.
Like chewing sounds.

It is even more creepy to listen to it in the dead of night.

If it were normal times, he would definitely walk as far as he could.

But now his brain has been paralyzed by alcohol.

I don't know what fear is at all.

He was confused for a moment, then staggered towards the alley where the sound came from.

……

The chewing sounds became clearer.

His heart suddenly started beating faster and a chill ran down his spine.

He couldn't help but shudder.

The chaotic brain became a little clearer.

He was already standing at the entrance of the alley.

He suddenly felt a little regretful, and just when he was about to turn around and leave, he heard footsteps coming from inside.

Only then did he realize that the chewing sound he had heard before was no longer there.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. A chilly breath hit me in the face.

It seems to have a faint fishy smell.

He took a step back, not knowing whether it was because he drank too much and couldn't stand steadily, or because he was inexplicably frightened.

"patta~patta~"

First the feet, and then gradually the whole body was exposed to the moonlight.

A thin, unshaven man walked out of the alley.

He didn't even look at Cai Peng and just walked straight past him.

The moment they passed each other, Cai Peng's heartbeat was so loud that he even felt a little dizzy.

……

"Hey, uncle, don't you have eyes when you walk? You bumped into my brother."

The sound behind him made him turn around suddenly.

He saw that the man who came out of the alley was blocked by several ruffian young men.

From what we just heard, we can tell that they collided.

As for who hit whom, it was hard for him to judge since he hadn't seen the scene.

Maybe they are just a few hooligans who want to borrow some money.

He frowned.

The feeling just now.
"My shoulder hurts."

"Did you hear that? You bruised my friend's shoulder."

"Quick, pay the money."

"Compensate!"

"Damn it, did you hear us?"

Cai Peng saw a young gangster reaching out to slap the man in the face.

But in the next second, he saw an expression of extreme horror on the young gangster's face.

It was as if he had seen some terrifying evil spirit.

The man remained silent and said nothing.

He took another step and walked past the stiff-bodied thug.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

The other thugs were confused by the sudden change in the situation and it took them a while before they started shouting out.

Someone reached out to the thug who for some reason didn't respond.

"Puff~"

Unexpectedly, the gangster collapsed to the ground after being lightly touched.

"What’s wrong with you?!"

"Hey"

Cai Peng ignored the chaos of the gangsters. He walked quickly past them and chased after the man in front.

He started running.

But in a moment, he suddenly had a feeling that he must seize this opportunity.

As for what the opportunity was, he couldn't figure it out for a moment.

The current situation did not allow him to think too much.

He reached out and grabbed the man's shoulder.

Facing the gloomy look in the man's eyes, he smiled stiffly but ingratiatingly.

"Hello, I'm Cai Peng."

He came from the countryside and had little education. One day, he saw a boss from the village following a master with a very attentive look on his face.

He suddenly decided that he, too, wanted to become a master.

Isn't it just nonsense?
He's the best at it.

As it turned out, he chose a career that best suited him.

Although he has no real skills, he always manages to attract customers.

He was also able to fool a few guests into treating him as a real master and respecting him highly.

It all depends on his eloquence and flexible adaptability.

However, the good times did not last long.

His business is getting harder and harder every year.

Before, the guests praised him, but now he has to praise the guests.

He was unwilling but had no choice.

But now, he had a feeling that his turning point was coming.
