Chapter 270 The Dilemma of Old Friends

Although Fatty Xu was a man of 120 or 30, Ruolan and Ruomei each picked up one of his arms, almost lifting him up in the air, as if he was holding up a child. Fatty Xu didn't expect that these two seemingly thin girls had such great strength, so he was really shocked.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yu Ren waved to Ruolan's sisters. "Go!"

Fatty Xu was half-helped and half-torn by two girls. As soon as they got on board, Ruomei threw Fatty Xu heavily on the board.

"This fat man is so lazy. Almost all the way, my sister and I carried him, and he didn't even leave by himself." Ruomei shouted.

"It's unreasonable. He is my friend. You just started too hard and injured his leg. He can't even leave even if he wants to!"

Ruomei stopped talking.

Yu Ren helped Xu Shichang up and sat down on a chair.

"Shichang! Tell me the truth, why did you run away when you saw me? This time I came to Hangzhou, but I came to find you brothers. Although our brothers have not seen each other for more than three years, I, Yu Ren, have never forgotten you!"

Xu Shichang lowered his head, his face flushed with shame, but he just didn't say anything.

"What's wrong? We are brothers. If you have anything to say, you'll just say it. There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to hide it."

Xu Shichang still didn't speak.

"I understand. You must have done something that I'm sorry for Mr. Yu. I'm right! Maybe the disappearance of Huang Han and his family is related to you!" Ruomei suddenly interrupted.

When Yu Ren heard this, a trace of cold light suddenly shot out from his eyes.

Xu Shichang and Yu Ren met this time and immediately felt a trembling heart, and he hurriedly defended himself loudly, "I really don't know what happened to Huang Han and his family's disappearance! Boss, don't get me wrong!"

Yu Ren had a calm face, "Okay, then tell me, why did you run away when you saw me just now?"

Xu Shichang sighed and then said softly, "I, I have nothing to do. I am not afraid of being seen and contact with my boss. If I cause trouble for me later, I will cause my family to be implicated! If it were just me, Xu Shichang would not be afraid of anything. However, they would always take my family.

That year, when you left, Master Liao didn't dare to do anything to us at first. Later, less than two months later, I called my father to ask.

My father had no choice but to pay 2,000 taels of silver automatically. This was the temporary settlement of the matter. But within half a month, the prefect Liao instructed his subordinates to find an excuse, saying that my father illegally defamed the iron-selling goods and arrested my father in prison.

In order to save my father, my mother sold all the business at home and finally sold the house. Then she raised all the money and rescued my father. However, after my father was released from prison, they had broken his legs and could only lie at home all day. Our family had no business. The whole family could only rely on me to support the waiter for the inn outside.

Boss, you said, our whole family was so badly punished, how could I dare to meet you again!" In the end, Xu Shichang's voice also increased by octave.

When Yu Ren heard this, he squatted down and gently held Xu Shichang's hand. "I'm sorry, brother. It's all my fault. I've implicated you. I should have sent someone to see you. I have caused you to be so miserable by the Liao surnamed.

But brother, don't worry. I will definitely avenge you for your revenge. But now, I'll ask you to bear it for a while. When I come back from the north, I will avenge you for this revenge."

Xu Shichang waved his hand. "Forget it! Our family has become like this. Even if the person named Liao is killed, the money will not be brought back. I don't want anything now, I just want to be my waiter safely and support my parents."

Yu Ren slapped Xu Shichang's hand heavily, "Don't worry, brother. Your brother, I have tens of thousands of people under my command now. We have found a foothold on Dongfan Island and are preparing to have a big fight there. I am here this time to invite you to work with us."

Xu Shichang was shocked when he heard this. "Brother, are you really a pirate? I always thought that you were framed by them like me!"

Yu Ren shook his head, "It can't be considered a pirate. It's just not under the jurisdiction of the court. In this way, we don't have to be deceived by those corrupt officials. We don't take away people's property, we don't rob people, and we don't kill and set fire. We open up land and farm on Dongfan Island, and some of us still do overseas trade business.

Because I planned to set up a science and technology institute there, I remembered you. So I took this time to go north to Shandong and asked you brothers to go to the East China Fair with me, and I would like to get the thing I drew you last time that I could really fly in the sky."

"Are you talking about planes?" Xu Shichang said in surprise. Although Yu Ren only drew a few pictures that time, and only once, the "plane" thing left a deep root in Xu Shichang's heart, making him never forget it. Of course, this is related to what Yu Ren said about this "plane" that time.

At first, before Liao Shixiang persecuted Xu Shichang and his family, he and Huang Han and others devoted almost all their energy to the research of this plane.

He, Huang Han and Li Fu, made five or six wooden planes, but they couldn't fly. Once, a strong wind blew from the mountain, and a wooden plane was really blown into the sky. It took more than an hour to fly in the sky, and it was unknown wherever it was. Several people were excited for several days, but it was difficult for them to make the plane fly again.

However, inspired by this, they began to consider using the wind. So they planned to pull the plane with their horses and let him fly. But they still failed. Just as they were about to change the method to test the flight again, Xu's father was invited by Liao Shi to talk.

After Xu's father came back, he locked Xu Shichang up at home and refused to let him go out again.

It was not until Xu's father was arrested in prison again that Xu Shichang regained his freedom.

At this time, when he heard Yu Ren talk about "planes" again, Xu Shichang felt that he was starting to get warm again.

"We must study the plane. However, before discussing this issue, can you tell me where Huang Han and the others have been?" Yu Ren saw Xu Shichang talking about the "plane", his eyes suddenly brightened, and he knew that he was already moved.

"I really don't know this. Since my father was sent to the conversation by the prefect Liao, I was locked up at home and had no chance to go out. It was not until my father was arrested in prison that I was released by my mother. However, at that time, our whole family was busy saving my father and didn't notice Huang Han and the others at all.

But once, I met Huang Han on the street, and he seemed to have something to tell me. But I was in a hurry to see a buyer and didn’t have time. When I finished my work, I rescued my father. When I went to find them, they had already moved their family away.

So, I don’t know where they went until now.”

When Yu Ren heard this, he fell into deep thought.

"Will they be secretly killed by the Liao family? Otherwise, how could the whole family disappear overnight? It wouldn't be so fast to move! Besides, at night. You said that you had a big rap with the Liao family and he must have taken revenge on your brothers.

When the Xu family had money, he tried his best to blackmail them. When Huang Han and the others had no money, he must have sent someone to secretly kill them." Ruomei said.

Ruolan glared at her sister, "Why are you so sure? The boss should not listen to her words, she was just guessing. In my opinion, Huang Han and the others might have moved away quietly after hearing the news of the Xu family's accident."

Yu Ren didn't say anything. After a while, he waved his hand to Xu Shichang. "You go back first! Ruolan, take me to see Shichang off. Remember, pay attention to the suspicious people around you. Don't worry, give me twenty taels of silver to Shichang first. Go back and give me another hundred taels of silver to Shichang's house.

With the current situation, we must be careful. Otherwise, if the person surnamed Liao was discovered, it would probably drag Shichang down again."
