Chapter 143 - 26_4
Li Zhiyuan could only wait for Run Sheng to come back before they could go home together. But instead of returning to the video salon, he bought another soda from the neighboring shop and sat on the bench, sipping and waiting.
Outside the shop, there was a pool table with two young men playing. Their skills were poor, and after watching for a while, Li Zhiyuan couldn’t help but yawn, leaning against the shop’s wall.
About half an hour later, Li Zhiyuan saw Brother Leopard return.
Li Zhiyuan was puzzled; the patient had returned, so why hadn’t the person who took him to the hospital come back yet?
Fortunately, before leaving home, he had told Aunt Liu that he was going to town with Panzi to watch a video, so Grandmaster wouldn’t worry about it if they were late. He’d just think the kids were playing and forgot the time.
Brother Leopard no longer looked faint and decadent as before; his walk was now full of the unique swagger and arrogance of a middle-aged hustler, shaking his head and shrugging.
Sadly, the two young men playing pool didn’t seem to know the rules of the street; when Brother Leopard walked past them, they didn’t greet him of their own accord.
Suddenly, Li Zhiyuan noticed something as Brother Leopard stepped out from behind the pool table – the heels of his shoes were raised.
This scene instantly reminded him of the way Big Beard and his son had headed to the fish pond the previous night.
They were also walking on tiptoes, with their heels hanging in the air, making them wobble as they moved.
Li Zhiyuan’s heart suddenly tightened; he realized something.
