It's Huang Peng's voice.

  I was startled and quickly hid aside.

  I looked into the store through the window.

  Only saw Huang Pengzheng instructing four or five tattooed young men:

  "Did you guys take a good look at the photo I showed you earlier? Remember this guy, his name is Chen Yang."

  "Make him hand over the secret formula honestly, otherwise, take direct action."

  "Don't cripple him! I don't have money for his medical expenses."

  "As long as he cooperates obediently, it will be fine."

  “……”

  My temper flared up all of a sudden.

  This guy would stop at nothing to get the secret recipe, even hiring thugs to take me down.

  He's simply a rogue.

  But can't be impulsive.

  After all, I'm still recovering from my injuries, if I show up now, I'll be the one at a disadvantage.

  I quietly left the chicken soup shop.

  Go find Zhao Gang.

  All the way, I was pondering this Huang Peng.

  It reminded me of a scene I saw him in at the Hive Casino and made me think of one possibility.

  Huang Peng should be a gambler, just lost money, finding me for the secret recipe is to sell the secret recipe and exchange it for money.

  The sign of Huang's Chicken Soup Restaurant is fake, they cheated me.

  How did Old Feng end up with such a son-in-law?

  How strange!

  After seeing Zhao Gang, before I could speak, he spoke first: "About your wife's matter, I haven't had a chance to ask around yet."

  "This time I came looking for you, it's not because of this matter."

  "What's going on?"

  "I've offended someone named Duan Fangtian, and just now some guy named Huang Peng tried to harm me..."

  I simply told him the situation.

  "Huang Peng?" Zhao Gang shook his head in disbelief, "This guy is a crazy gambler, recently he's been on a losing streak, lost so much money that he's gone blind. You don't have to be afraid of him. He wouldn't dare do anything to you."

  However, Duan Fangtian is not an easy person to deal with. Since you saved Crab Old Seven, he shouldn't just stand by and do nothing. You can go find Crab Old Seven.

  "I saved him because I'm not a person who can ignore someone in distress. I couldn't go find him, it was my own will, and the consequences should be borne by me."

  Zhao Gang patted me on the shoulder and forced a smile, "Brother, you're great, you're stronger than me."

  There's more to what he said than meets the eye.

  "I couldn't help but ask: 'What on earth happened to you? You weren't like this before.'"

  I am indeed very puzzled.

  Zhao Gang is a man who doesn't usually get close to women, but yesterday when I went to find him, he was actually embracing a beautiful woman.

  Especially, he once told me that gambling is absolutely not to be touched. Once you touch it, you're done.

  He actually?

  "My affairs are hard to summarize in one sentence."

  Then he said to me, "I know Duan Fangtian quite well. You've ruined his plans and he won't let you off."

  "But a casino has its own rules. He will come according to the rules."

  "What does it mean?"

  "He will make a bet with you."

  I laughed, "What are you talking about? I'm not a gambler."

  "You can't say that, once you step into a casino, you're one of us. Things within the circle must be resolved according to the rules of the circle."

  I shook my head, "I won't gamble. I couldn't possibly gamble with him."

  "He will then resort to violence against you. It's possible that he might take one of your hands or even one of your legs."

  I wasn't scared at all, instead I burst out laughing.

  Zhao Gang looked at me in surprise, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

  "Barefooted people are not afraid of those wearing shoes. I have nothing now and am scared to death. No big deal, we'll die together."

  This is how I feel right now.

  After the chicken soup shop went bankrupt, my mood was terrible.

  I originally hoped that my new wife would give me some comfort.

  However, the Douyin video incident occurred.

  I feel like I've fallen into a huge scam.

  I've been holding back my anger for a long time, aren't you looking for me to settle the score? You damn well better come!

  Zhao Gang didn't say anything.

  Lit a cigarette and smoked silently.

  He seems to have something on his mind.

  I know he must be hiding something from me.

  I'm waiting for him to speak up to me.

  After finishing a cigarette, Zhao Gang said, "I will help you find Tang Simao."

  His tone was very firm.

  I'm waiting for his next sentence.

  I thought he would say, about your wife Zou Miao Miao's matter, I will also definitely help you investigate clearly.

  But he didn't say anything.

  "He added, 'If Duan Fangtian gives you any trouble, call me anytime.'"

  After coming out from Zhao Gang's place, I thought of a possibility.

  Zhao Gang should be more familiar with Zou Miao's situation. He didn't say anything because he thought it was inconvenient to speak.

  I'm even more confused now.

  What kind of person is my new wife?

  It was already six o'clock in the afternoon when I got home.

  The sky has already turned dark.

  It was unexpected that Zou Miao Miao was actually cooking in the kitchen.

  From acquaintance to marriage, she never went into the kitchen.

  I walked into the kitchen and saw him washing a slaughtered chicken. When he saw me, he said: "This is an old hen, I'll stew it for you to drink."

  "Want some stewed soup?"

  "Weren't you just injured? Drinking chicken soup is good for a speedy recovery."

  If it weren't for that Douyin video, I would have been very touched by what she said.

  But now, I'm not feeling very good in my heart.

  I recall the scene of her snoring while sleeping at night, she slept so innocently, it's not something that can be pretended.

  If she's acting, then she should be one of the best actresses in the world.

  "Hurry up and go watch TV in the living room, I'll serve you today."

  She pushed me out of the kitchen.

  An hour later, the chicken soup was cooked. The taste is still pretty good.

  Of course, if you add my secret ingredient, it's a whole different flavor.

  Zou Miao Miao filled a bowl for me and asked me to take a sip to taste it, asking if it was good.

  I said it's very good, you did a great job.

  She pursed her lips, "I know what level I am at, and there's no way I can compare to Feng's chicken soup."

  When the other party actively mentioned Feng's chicken soup, I was moved in my heart.

  She won't boil chicken soup for no reason, and next she might bring up this topic.

  As expected, when I had drunk half of the chicken soup, she spoke up, "How is it? Have you thought about it?"

  I played dumb and said "What was that?"

  "Of course it's the secret recipe."

  "You didn't tell me not to go to the casino? I listened to you and have already quit my job."

  "Now our family has lost its source of income, is there any other way besides selling the secret recipe?"

  Perhaps realizing the last sentence was inappropriate, he quickly covered it up, "What I mean is that after selling the secret recipe, our family will have money. Then we can invest in doing some other business."

  I suddenly understood.

  She who never cooks, why is she so enthusiastic about going to the kitchen today and voluntarily cooking chicken soup for me to drink.

  After messing around for half a day, it's still about the secret recipe.

  I deliberately said: "I wonder how much this formula is worth?"
