The Shanghai Railway Station was bustling with people. Fan Cheng stood at the entrance of the station. "Let's take a train to Suzhou first and find a hotel near Jinmen Bridge. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the market to buy something new." Fan Cheng rubbed his big belly and lowered his head to look at Luo Fusheng.

"Okay." Luo Fusheng had always been very obedient in front of elders. Hearing this, he looked up at him, his long eyelashes trembling, and nodded in agreement.

Fan Cheng looked at him for a long time, and then silently looked away.

The two bought tickets and found a seat to sit down. People came and went on the walkway, wearing long robes, suits, and leather shoes. They all carried briefcases and hurriedly squeezed through the carriage.

At this time, there was no smoking ban on the train. Soon, the smell of tobacco filled the air, mixing with the smell of women's perfume. It was a foul atmosphere.

Luo Fusheng wanted Fan Cheng to sit closer to the window, close to the wind, and take a rest. He would sit outside.

Fan Cheng did not agree.

Luo Fusheng wanted to invite him again, but Fan Cheng waved his hand.

"That's enough, Luo Xiaozi, don't let me.

With my size, if I need to go in and out, who will I be tormenting? You don't have to be polite with me.

Just sit quietly inside, okay? "

When Luo Fusheng heard this, he secretly felt that he was not considerate enough, and consciously sat inside.

The train started to move unsteadily. It was only an hour's ride, and it passed in the blink of an eye.

After getting off the train, the two arrived at Jinmen Bridge. Fan Cheng found a nearby hotel. When the manager saw them, he became spirited.

"Are you two going to have a meal or stay?"

"Stay."

"How many rooms?"

Fan Cheng was used to being rough all his life. His disciple, Gu Qi, was also a tough boy. He had never interacted with people like Luo Fusheng.

When Fan Cheng and Luo Fusheng were together before, Gu Qi was always by their side.

At that time, he did not think much of it. Now that the two of them were alone, there was a subtle awkwardness.

He looked down at Luo Fusheng's white face and felt that if he burped and farted while asleep, he would disturb the child's sleep.

He replied considerately, which was rare, "Two single rooms."

Luo Fusheng knew that Fan Cheng's personality was straightforward, so he did not say much..... He only thought of moving more things tomorrow.

Otherwise, he would only be taken care of..

Fan Cheng had a careless appearance but a meticulous heart. He was very vigilant when he was outside.

In the middle of the night, he fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a cup shattering next door and was immediately alerted.

Luo Xiaozi's room.....

When this thought appeared in his mind, he immediately got up, went to Luo Fu Sheng's door, and kicked it open.

The room was brightly lit.

"Luo Xiaozi?" Fan Cheng took a few steps forward. He looked around, but did not find anything wrong.

Except for Fusheng, who suddenly sat up on the bed.

The young man's entire body was covered in a layer of sweat. His forehead hair was wet and curled up at the corner of his forehead.

When he saw Fan Cheng, his hazy eyes focused. He said in a low voice, "Master Fan." He quickly got up and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't sleep well and disturbed you."

Fan Cheng saw the teacup he had thrown off the bedside table and smashed. Only then did he know that it was not a sneak attack. He relaxed and felt a little helpless.

If it had been Gu Qi who had accompanied him here, he would have long complained about the other party. But looking at Luo Fusheng's apologetic eyes, he could not bring himself to say this. He only said, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Luo Fusheng looked at Fan Cheng's chubby face and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He pursed his lips into a smile. "I've made Master Fan worry."

Fan Cheng scratched his nose with his finger. He wanted to be tactful, but he felt a headache. He asked directly, "Can you sleep by yourself?"

Luo Fusheng's face turned red. He stuttered in embarrassment, "Can … can …"

Fan Cheng was also embarrassed by him.

He coughed softly. "It's okay, it's okay … Then sleep early. We have to wake up early tomorrow."

Luo Fusheng nodded quickly. The two of them went to sleep.

The north and south of the North Gate Bridge were the traditional business districts.

South of the bridge were many clothes shops and snack streets. North of the bridge was Fish Market Street and Fruit Street. It was the city's important market.

Luo Fusheng and Fan Cheng had woken up early in the morning when the cries of the old merchants rang out. Braving the gray morning sky, they carried two baskets and went to the market.

There was an apple stall under a tree on the street. The red apples were piled up into a small hill.

The apple vendor held an apple and talked about it with his saliva flying. The people around him were amazed.

"How much is this apple?"

Fan Cheng thought that Luo Xiaozi would be hungry if they went to the market so early. He planned to buy some fruits for him.

"500 copper coins per catty." The vendor held out five fingers.

"That's not a good price." Fan Cheng shook his head.

"I'll buy half a catty from you at this price." He held out three fingers.

"Hey, are you trying to hit me?" The vendor opened his sleepy eyes wide in anger.

"At this price, are you selling or not?" Fan Cheng seemed to have a card up his sleeve. His 200-catty body was mighty and domineering.

Luo Fusheng stood beside him and looked at his figure with envy. He thought that if he had this body, he would save half of his energy. He pricked up his ears to listen to his bargaining.

The vendor was in a deadlock for a while. Seeing that the others were only surrounding him but had no intention of buying, he lowered his head and calculated the cost.

"350, I can't go any lower!

If you want to take it, then take it. If not, then forget it. "

Fan Cheng narrowed his eyes. Seeing the other party's determination, he knew that he couldn't squeeze any more money out of him.

The two bought apples. Fan Cheng took out one and handed it to Luo Fusheng.

Luo Fusheng knew that the other party had good intentions. The more he refused, the more he seemed to be an outsider.

He took the apple and smiled. "Thank you, Uncle Fan."

Seeing this, Fan Cheng happily rubbed his belly and chuckled.

The two of them walked and strolled. They bought two catties of radishes from an old woman who had a cigarette in her mouth and a few shad from a fishmonger. By the time it was noon, they had already filled two big baskets with miscellaneous items.

They only had to wait for the last two big bags of noodles to complete today's task.

Fan Cheng and Luo Fusheng brought their things back to the inn. Fan Cheng walked behind them. He glanced at a shadow flashing in the distance. His eyes, which were squeezed into a slit by his fat, flashed with a shrewd light.

He didn't bat an eyelid and said to Luo Fusheng, "Luo Xiaozi, you're tired. Go rest first.

I'll go buy some noodles. "He didn't wait for Luo Fusheng to reply and turned to leave the inn.

After walking around a few corners, they reached a deserted alley. Fan Cheng stood still. "Come out. You've been following me all the way. I'm tired for you."

"Master Fan, you're still so observant." The shadow behind him appeared. It was a tall, thin man with a hunched back. People called him Black Monkey.

"Tell me. What is Li Jincheng thinking when he asked you to follow me?" Fan Cheng didn't listen to his compliments and said impatiently.

"Master Li and you are old friends, so I'll be frank." Black Monkey chuckled when he heard this.

"Mater Li is like this in Suzhou."

After he finished speaking, he gave a thumbs up. "There's only one thing that makes him unhappy. That is, he hasn't officially joined the gang. Although he has a good relationship with you, the respected elders of the Qing Gang, he still doesn't have a proper status.

He wants to ask you to make a trip and introduce him to the elders of the Green Gang. "

"Oh, Li Jincheng has run amok in Suzhou for so many years. Why is he suddenly concerned about the rules of the Green Gang? Is he following Old Huang?" Fan Cheng was amused.

"Mater Li has a big family business now. He pays attention to winning people over with virtue, right?

Master Fan, you have a good relationship with Mater Li. Why don't you make a trip? "

Black Monkey waved his hand, and a group of people suddenly appeared behind Fan Cheng.

Fan Cheng laughed coldly. "With your way of inviting people, can I not go?" He wasn't afraid and followed them.

After they had walked for a while, a figure that had been hidden in the crowd came forward. It was Luo Fusheng.

He narrowed his eyes and hid in the crowd, following closely behind.

Fan Cheng was led by Black Monkey into an old house.

The owner of this house was a veteran of the Green Gang. He had followed Sun Yat-sen in the revolution. Later, he had retired from the jianghu and stayed in his hometown to teach.

He was alone in the world and only had contact with Fan Cheng and a few other Green Gang members.

Fan Cheng had come to Suzhou specifically because he had received a letter from the old man saying that he had been harassed by Zhao Jincheng.

If things didn't go well, he would only have Fan Cheng help with the funeral arrangements.

Of course, Fan Cheng wouldn't sit by and do nothing. He had come to Suzhou and, as expected, had been targeted by Li Jincheng.

"Old Master Wu, why do you have to do this?

I just want to take you as my teacher. I have always respected my teachers. As long as you agree, I won't make things difficult for you. I can even build a new one for you. "

As soon as Fan Cheng entered, he saw a middle-aged man with a dark complexion holding a cup of tea. His legs were propped up on a chair as he spoke slowly to the person on the other side of the long bench.

It was Li Jincheng.

The person sitting on the long bench had white hair and a white beard. He had an immortal air. It was his old friend Wuqiao.

The other party was old. Hearing Li Jincheng's words, his entire body trembled with anger and he didn't say a word.

Li Jincheng saw Fan Cheng come over and a mocking smile flashed through his eyes.

"Oh, Lao Fan has come over.

Quickly help me persuade Old Master Wu. His temper is too stubborn. Why do you have to do this to yourself? "

Fan Cheng looked at Li Jincheng out of the corner of his eye and laughed coldly. "Brother Wu's heart is as clear as snow.

You commit all kinds of evil in Suzhou. Where did you get the confidence to make Brother Wu take you as his disciple? "
