[Comprehensive] No. 8 Pawnshop.

Two weeks later, pedestrians on the overpass hurried,

Superintendent Huang Zhicheng of the Hong Kong Serious Crime Squad was leaning on the railing and talking on the phone, "How about psychological treatment?"

"It's okay, Doctor Ye is not bad." Chen Yongren didn't say much.

"Doctor Ye? Oh, I remembered that Sir Jiang told me that there was a new doctor. This Doctor Ye just came to Hong Kong not long ago."

Chen Yongren smiled, "That's not better, at least it's innocent enough."

Huang Zhicheng frowned, "Don't be suspicious, how can there be so many ghosts in the police station?"

Wearing sunglasses, Chen Yongren twitched the corners of his mouth, "Well, not many, one is enough to kill me. The Hong Kong police will put undercover agents in the underworld, and Han Chen may not be able to do so."

"Don't worry, no one knows your identity except Ye sir and me, so you should be careful."

"understood."

When Chen Yongren once again collected protection fees in a shop on the streets of Yau Tsim Mong, one hand was tied with plaster, and the other hand counted the tickets in his hand. He raised his eyes and looked at the owner of the audio-visual store in front of him, " Why are there so few months?"

The boss was also used to dealing with him, so he waved his hands and said, "Business is not good."

Then he pointed to a record store diagonally opposite, "The store just opened a few days ago and took away a lot of business from me."

Chen Yongren gave him a blank look, "Your business is not good, it's because of your price."

The boss still argued, "If I don't sell more expensive, how can I give the money to you big brothers? Also, I'm not talking nonsense, that store really took away a lot of my business, and you also know that some of my record customers are It belongs to a young girl, and the owner of that shop is a pretty guy, how can my orange face compare to others."

As he spoke, he patted his own face, which was indeed wrinkled.

Chen Yongren was also amused by him all of a sudden, "Here, don't change the topic, the money that should be paid must not be less."

Hearing this, the boss had no choice but to take out another wallet from the counter in dejection, and gave the banknotes in it to Chen Yongren with distress, and said, "Brother Ah Ren, that shop is newly opened in Yau Tsim Mong, the boss He is also a newcomer, and he has never been here before, so why don't you go and have a look?"

It's obviously pulling people into the water, but it's not considered cheating. After all, Yau Tsim Mong is known to the whole of Hong Kong as Han Chen's territory. If you want to open a store here, you have to pass their eyes.

After counting the banknotes, Chen Yongren just hummed casually, and finally took out a few and put them in the shirt pocket on the boss's chest, "I can't even miss food."

"Thank you, Brother Aren." The boss patted his chest and grinned.

After collecting the money from several stores, Chen Yongren walked to the door of the newly opened record store, asked others to wait outside, and walked in by himself.

The space inside is much more spacious than it looks from the outside. To Chen Yongren's surprise, apart from records, there are books everywhere in this record store. There is also a heavy Bible on the counter.It is really rare to see a record store with a Bible.

Chen Yongren only glanced at the Bible, then subconsciously looked away, raised his hand and knocked twice on the counter, "Is anyone there?"

A person slowly walked out from the inside, a gentle and refined young man in a white shirt.

His smile is as warm as the afternoon winter sun, and he is unsparingly released, so that people can feel his sincerity when they see him.To be honest, Chen Yongren has never seen such a person, whether he was a policeman or a gangster.

Lao Bai smiled gently, "Hello."

Chen Yongren was stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, "Ah... hello." He thought to himself that it's no wonder that Ade's business would be robbed, seeing such a gentle and healing person, even he would be more willing to come here Come.

In the few words that followed, Chen Yongren knew that the other party's surname was Bai, and his English name was John.

The meaning of John in the Bible is 'God is merciful'.

John's conversation is very good, it can be seen that he is a gentle, friendly and well-educated person. Chen Yongren chatted with him, and almost forgot the purpose of coming in. He is indeed a person who can make people forget their troubles.

Until Chen Yongren's little brother waited anxiously outside, thinking that something happened to him inside, he called out "Brother Aren".Chen Yongren suddenly woke up, his identity.

It is obviously difficult to tell a person who is so friendly to him to collect protection fees, and it will make him feel guilty. Chen Yongren laughed at himself in his heart. He has not felt this kind of guilt for many years. Now he is used to The darkness and ugliness of the underworld even stained his own hands with blood.

But John was only slightly surprised, and then his smile was still warm and sincere, as if Chen Yongren's collecting money from him was no different from buying records, and they were treated equally.

"The money is in the cabinet, it's not locked, you can get it yourself."

Hearing this, Chen Yongren thought to himself that this person is really strange, it would be a bit silly to let others take it without locking it.

The cabinet was indeed unlocked as he said, and there were several wads of cash in it. After taking the money he should have collected, Chen Yongren closed the drawer without looking at it, and said, "You'd better buy a lock." Lock it, it's a mess at night."

Lao Bai smiled, "Thank you."

The corner of Chen Yongren's mouth curled up, and he said again, "But it's okay, no one will trouble you after collecting the money."

When leaving, Chen Yongren just walked to the door, then turned back and said, "Also, your store is good...you are also very nice."

"Then come again next time." Old Bai said with a smile in his eyes.

Chen Yongren twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a bit of a naughty air, "I will come here once a month from now on, I'm afraid you won't welcome it."

Lao Bai looked at him and said with a gentle smile, "You can come here normally, I welcome you anytime, and you haven't heard any of my records yet."

"Then...then it's settled, come back next time."

Chen Yongren waved his hand and walked out of the record store.

But Lao Bai turned his attention to the Bible on the counter, walked over to pick it up, held it solemnly in his hand, and recited a passage in it, "When light comes into the world, their deeds were evil, and they loved darkness instead of light, and that is what condemned them."

This is the third time that Chen Yongren has come to Ye Li's psychological consultation room, and he has changed a lot from before. The dullness and impetuousness in his heart have calmed down a lot. With a gentle smile, "Did you encounter something that made you happy?"

Chen Yongren smiled, "Well, I met a very good friend."

Ye Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a relaxed tone, "Really? A friend of the club?"

Chen Yongren shook his head, "No, it's the owner of a record store."

To be honest, he didn't want John to get involved with the society, especially in the eyes of others.

"He is nice, and the records in the store are also very good. If Dr. Ye is interested, you can go and have a look." Chen Yongrenshun introduced the business to John.

Ye Li smiled, "Okay, thank you for your recommendation, I will go and have a look."

After chatting for a few words, it was time to get down to business. Chen Yongren naturally sat on Freud's couch, lay down and stretched his legs, and pulled the blanket beside him to cover his body and fell asleep.

When the alarm clock he set for himself rang, he woke up, grabbed his wallet jacket and put it on, when Ye Li handed him a glass of boiled water, Chen Yongren took it and said 'thank you'.

"Have you ever thought about changing your life?" Ye Li looked at him and asked suddenly.

Chen Yongren put on his shoes, "I'm doing pretty well now."

Ye Li smiled and said, "How could it be better if a person can't even sleep well?"

"Doctor Ye, do you want to help me?" Chen Yongren looked at her with bright eyes and a smile on his lips.

Ye Li still smiled, "Alone is always too difficult."

Ten years of undercover work, groping forward in darkness and loneliness, such a person will never feel very comfortable.

Chen Yongren smiled, "Doctor Ye, you are a good person."

Ye Li had that stunned expression, and then said calmly, "You are the first person to say that about me."

"Doctor Ye, you are so beautiful, there must be many people who say that." Chen Yongren said with a playful smile, as if the moment of seriousness just now was just an illusion.

"I still have something to do in my club, let's go first, Doctor Ye, see you next time."

"Ah."

After the door was closed again, Ye Li's expression became extremely indifferent. To be honest, Ye Li didn't like or hate Chen Yongren's words, good man?It's a pity that she is not even human anymore.

***

Ye Li came to the record store mentioned by Chen Yongren, and saw someone 'familiar' without any surprise.

There were still a few customers in the store chatting with Lao Bai about music, and Ye Li didn't say hello to Lao Bai, but went to the record cabinet to pick out, from Hong Kong and Taiwan popular to European classical, to From dark punk to nutcracker.

Ye Li is not very keen on music, but occasionally he will use it to adjust.

At some point, all the customers in the shop left, Lao Bai still stayed behind the counter and looked at Ye Li and said, "I didn't expect you to come here."

Ye Li smiled, "I was recommended by Chen Yongren."

She put down a vinyl record in her hand, turned to look at Lao Baidao, and said in a slightly puzzled tone, "Do you think you can beat me?"

Seeing Ye Li's conceited smile, Lao Bai knew in his heart that even if he had lived for hundreds of years, he would lose to Ye Li in terms of tactics. She would never let others know what was on her mind. where.

But, "he's a nice guy."

Ye Li laughed again, indifferently, "No. [-] Pawnshop never chooses customers based on their quality."

At this moment, gunshots rang out outside, but the two people who were looking at each other in the record store were not disturbed at all.

Lao Bai smiled gently, "Let him go."

Ye Li's smile was also perfect, "No."

There were constant gunshots outside, as well as the sound of the glass of the surrounding shops, the sound of door panels being broken, and the sound of rampant driving, as if a fierce battle had taken place.But the gunfire has never reached Lao Bai's record store, and even the smell of blood has not wafted here.

Lao Bai didn't lose color because of Ye Li's answer, but said gently and compassionately, "We will protect him."

"What do you protect him, life? Or soul?" Ye Li couldn't stop laughing and shaking his head.

The smile on Lao Bai's face disappeared, and he looked at her quietly.

The dense gunfire outside finally stopped, followed by the siren of a police car.

Ye Li didn't have the heart to continue chatting with the Bai family, "I should go."

Lao Bai's smile returned to being sincere and gentle, "Welcome to come again next time."

"I don't think there will be any." Ye Li glanced at him, "Your record here is good, but unfortunately there is no one I want."

Then left without looking back.
