Quick Transmigration: I'm Almost Dead
v1c18 - Big Shot (18/20)
Translated by gudetokki.
Ch18 - You're chosen
"444, I have a bad feeling."
"Ding, must be an illusion."
"Definitely not." Chen You humphed, "Qiao MingYue's face is Qin Feng's dearly loved person. If it's a multiple choice question of who dies and who lives, then I will no doubt die."
"But it doesn't matter. As long as Qin Feng's 5* is gone, I'll leave without patting my a.s.s."
*evil points.
The system was silent. This client was the youngest, the noisiest and a youth who was like the wind.
But unexpectedly he had the clearest goal.
Mission, upgrades, return, and nothing else.
At least at this point in time.
The system had some expectations on how much this youth would change in the future.
Chen You was bored and began to observe the big brother next to him. He had a story-telling face and seemed agreeable at first glance.
"Big Brother, can I ask you a question."
The big brother was stunned, "Young Brother, you ask."
Chen You spoke, "I know a man who has many evil thoughts in his heart, how can I help him?"
The big brother continued to be stunned. "Show him more positive things and get in touch with beautiful things. With more hope and a softer heart, there'll be fewer evil thoughts."
Chen You sounded an 'ah', feeling enlightened. "Big Brother, you're a man of wisdom."
"Young Brother, you're not too bad yourself."
The big brother reckoned that his brain was not working well, at this time he had to cast aside his sympathy. "I see that you're still young and quite good. Why are you running around to serve the rich's plaything?"
Chen You's mouth twitched, pei, really had no eyesight, you won't make any big achievement in your lifetime!
That big brother seemed to have more things to say, but the Scarface who was sitting beside Qiao MingYue scolded, "Old Three, you speak a lot of nonsense!"
It was quiet in the car.
Chen You was very bored. He called the system and ordered a song "Goodbye Friend" and hummed in his heart, "Oh my friends Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye! bye! bye!"
*Chinese version of "Bella Ciao" (Goodbye Beautiful), an Italian folk song.
System, "..."
After an unknown period of time, the van stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse, just like the scene Chen You saw in movies.
Once they entered the warehouse, Chen You and Qiao MingYue were pushed down onto the concrete floor.
Qiao MingYue supported himself with his hand on the ground, revealing a snow-white lower back that directly faced the man who pushed him. The person gulped and his eyeb.a.l.l.s nearly popped out.
Several others also looked over, their eyes enjoying the feast.
There were unknown factors floating and the atmosphere was tense.
The four men went to one side to talk and somehow they ended up arguing. The man who spoke to Chen You in the car left with a dark face.
Chen You heard another sentence from the other party, "Laozi(I) will not join you guys to play around with life."
He glanced at Qiao MingYue whose expression had changed. He probably heard it too and knew that he was facing the danger of one against three.
The atmosphere became more tense.
Chen You leaned relaxedly against the wall. Putting Qiao MingYue and him together, it was like the cloud in the sky and the earthworm in the mud.
It sounded a little disgusting but the meaning was close.
Besides, these guys treated him as Qiao MingYue's attendant. Since the master was present, who would play with the servant?
Qiao MingYue also knew this. He furrowed his brows and his complexion turned ugly.
He found that there was someone following him in the past two days. He took Chen You out on purpose tonight in order to draw the snake out of its hole, to meet trick with trick.
There were always people who were tired of life. As long as he followed Qin Feng, he would become a target. The people behind the scenes wanted to use him to threaten Qin Feng, so this time he wanted to drag one under the water.
He also wanted to see if his face was still important.
Qiao MingYue's thoughts returned when his chin was pinched. He looked up and breathed in a cigarette smoke mixed with stench.
A man felt up Qiao MingYue's hand, his big golden teeth were bright yellow. "Tsk tsk, a pianist's hand is indeed different. Really smooth."
"Old Two, don't go too far."
"What are you afraid of? There's no instruction from the top yet. Besides, I won't lose a piece of meat if I touch for a little while."
The man began to take things further. Several b.u.t.tons fell off from Qiao MingYue's coat. He said coldly, "If you're not afraid of death, go on."
Suddenly there was a clear and loud "Pa" sound which made Chen You's ears buzz a little. He turned around. There was a palm print on Qiao MingYue's white face and traces of blood hung from the corner of his mouth.
Too weak.
Chen You shook his head, Bro, did you know that your stubborn appearance easily made people do bad things?
The man was startled since he didn't expect him to bleed with one slap.
He rubbed his hands excitedly. His eyes were staring straight, the look of someone who had never eaten a good meal. "Hahahahaha Boss, Old Four, check this out, this great pianist is really fun."
The other two approached and were also stunned still.
Chen You lit a candle for Qiao gongzi in his heart.
What happened next was too spicy for one's eyes.
Qiao MingYue's hands were tied up and he had no power to fight back. He had the appearance of suffering humiliation and looked especially seductive.
When the three men saw the luxury car, they all wanted to squeeze in the car door. Qiao MingYue bit a man in the ear and the man suddenly flashed a dagger.
There was a wet and hot feeling on Qiao MingYue's face but there was no pain. He turned to look when he heard a scream and was taken aback.
There was a cut in the back of the young man's neck and blood was dripping down.
Qiao MingYue opened his mouth and was silent for a while before he spoke in confusion, "Why did you do this?"
Chen You roared fiercely, "Mind your business!"
Qiao MingYue, "..."
His eyes were complex. Er-ye should also be unable to figure out this person, you really couldn't guess his mind.
Chen You regretted to death. "444, it hurts so much."
System, "Ding, bear with it."
Chen You had a little temper, "Don't want to talk to you anymore."
He fiercely protected Qiao MingYue's face, if Qin Feng found out about this, wouldn't he be stirred up.
It's best to wake up to the fact that people who are alive are the most important.
Afraid to cause someone's death, the three men did not dare to make any more moves.
On the other side, the people behind the scenes found out Chen You's relations.h.i.+p with Qin Feng. They maliciously played 'choose one out of the two' and gave Qin Feng only one minute to choose. If he did not choose, both would die.
Qin Feng's choice was Qiao MingYue.
Upon receiving the instruction, the three men let Qiao MingYue go. No matter how their hearts itched, it was not more important than money.
"Great pianist, you can go."
When Qiao MingYue heard this, he looked at the man beside him. He did not have the face that he wanted to see. "Aren't you sad?"
"What's there to be sad about?" Chen You added, "I know that Er-ye owes you a life."
Qiao MingYue laughed in spite of himself and murmured, "He even told you this."
In fact, there was no such thing. This matter was picked up by Chen You from the system just a moment ago.
In his early years, Qiao MingYue blocked a bullet for Qin Feng and that's how they hooked up. So, Qin Feng returning the life debt to Qiao MingYue came as no surprise to Chen You.
Qiao MingYue lowered his eyes.
Chen You met his gaze. Are you happy now.
Qiao MingYue lowered his voice. "Don't worry Mr. Zhou, I'll find someone to save you."
Chen You rolled his eyes. I'm not worried, heheh, am I so dumb? Seriously, not even blus.h.i.+ng when you lie.
Chen You who was not chosen was waiting.
With Qin Feng's power, the warehouse was certain to be found. Hopefully it's not after he stopped breathing.
The three men whispered to each other as they smoked and puffed.
"Boss, what to do about this one?"
"The higher-up didn't say."
"He saw our faces, why don't we kill him."
Chen You squeezed out a smile, "Is it too late to say I'm blind?"
"..."
Scarface took out a knife, gave it a few handsome throws and walked over to Chen You.
Chen You s.h.i.+fted backwards, "Three Big Brothers, are you married? Do you have children? It doesn't matter if you don't have one, there must be an elderly in the family right, we need to acc.u.mulate virtues ah."
"Wait, do you like listening to songs? Why don't I sing you a song? I can breakdance very well too, or how about I sing and dance simultaneously?"
"Lyrical, rock 'n' roll, ballad, and children' songs. I can do it all!"
"Can't play with the great pianist." The man was regretful, his small eyes squinted and he said reluctantly, "Why don't we three do this youngster?"
Chen You spoke, "Don't ah, the most important thing in life is not to wrong oneself."
The man couldn't stand it and shouted, "Dammit, Boss, he's so noisy!"
"En."
"You really can't judge a person by his appearance. He's so ugly and talks a lot but can still sleep with the rich. I can do it too ah, why don't I change my profession to be a duck*?"
*a prost.i.tute (slang)
"Old Four, I think you can do it. You look much better than this youngster."
Chen You, "..." Naive children, is it so easy to sell a.s.s? You can get hemorrhoid and can bang and explode, do you know?
"If brothers want to change profession, I can give you a referral. Brother Qiang in Gold and me have a good relations.h.i.+p. I have a fellow townsman there..."
In order to stall for time, Chen You turned himself into a mentally r.e.t.a.r.ded person.
It was at this moment that the warehouse door was kicked open forcefully and a tall figure entered. Chen You seemed to see lights emitting from the man's body and his feet treading on seven-colored auspicious clouds.
Tears welled up in his eyes, Great Sage Qin, you're finally here.
