Chapter 23 Strange guy

Saturday is the happiest day of the week for office workers and students.

However, for those employees of Jiujiu Liufu News who have to work overtime on Saturday, Saturday is a painful torture.

Saturday was also an extraordinary day for the town.

Because the town’s trade market opens every Saturday, some farmers and craftsmen sell their products at the town market.

At the current market, countless stalls have been set up, with their own crops placed on the shelves, and some clever vendors are pushing carts to sell drinks, drinks and snacks.

Gino was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, accompanied by Chloe and Little Black Pete.

“Every time I come here, it feels very lively.”

Chloe fiddled with her camera, pressing the shutter on some children running and playing from time to time.

"It's unique." Jino replied smoothly, lowering his head to fiddle with the buttons on his cell phone, staring at the screen of the cell phone.

It was an anonymous email: sent by the scavenger website. The content on it was very simple, like "the delivery man has arrived at the store." The email showed that the killer had set off.

At this time, Peter, who had a sharp eye, quickly spotted an acquaintance in the crowd.

"Hey, that's Clark's stall!"

Jino raised his head and looked in the direction of Xiao Hei's finger.

I saw Jonathan and his wife standing at a vegetable stall not far away. Clark, expressionless, was carrying boxes of goods from his family's old pickup truck.

Looking at the stern-faced Clark, Gino chuckled.

It seemed that his enlightenment that day had no effect, but that's right. Adolescent boys are inherently rebellious, and whether they accept gifts or not, it can't be said that Clark was wrong.

"Want to go over and take a look?" Chloe glanced at Gino cautiously.

Gino noticed Chloe's eyes, smiled and patted the girl's shoulder, and picked up a emerald red apple from the vendor stall with his other hand.

"Past? Let me forget it. Mr. Jonathan doesn't like me."

Gino shook his head. He was not a psychopath like Lex, who would run over to say hello to people who hated him.

"Hey, my apples!" The vendor's eyes widened as he watched the brightest apple in his stall being picked away.

Jino ignored the vendor and threw a hundred dollars at the old man's stall. The vendor who was originally mumbling immediately changed his face to a flattering one: "How many more, young man?"

"Pack some of the rest and I'll take it back."

This apple is quite sweet. Take it back and give it to Lex to have a taste.

The three of them stopped in front of the fruit stall. At this time, a cold and deep voice sounded behind them.

"Give way."

Gino stepped out of the way with his right leg, and a short young man with hair that covered his eyes and carrying a worn canvas bag hurried past the three of them.

When he passed by Jino, the man glanced at Jino with a little hatred from the corner of his eye.

Although his movements were small, Jino was still keenly aware of the man's malicious eyes under his thick lenses.

Gently waving his hand to dispel the strange smell left by the young man as he passed by, Gino frowned at the man and looked at Peter and Chloe with a puzzled look on his face: "Who is that guy?"

Jino remembered that he had never offended this person, right? What's that look in his eyes? He really thinks that he is not a member of the family. Do you believe that this guy will not be able to see the sun tomorrow?

And in school, except for Whitney and Watt, who took the initiative to find trouble and were punished, he never used his power to bully others.

Chloe looked at the leaving figure with strange eyes, shrugged and said, "The famous weird boy in the town."

"Grey Ted."

Xiao Hei also came up to talk mysteriously: "I was a classmate with him in elementary school. That guy has been extremely interested in insects since he was a child."

"And he's withdrawn and unsociable." Chloe sighed and shook her head: "Before you came, that guy had been the target of bullying by Whitney's gang."

"It's indeed strange." Jino nodded in agreement, his eyes falling on the canvas bag carried by the young man in the distance. The things inside gave him a familiar feeling of disgust.

Gino spent a day playing with Chloe at the market.

When we returned to the castle, the setting sun was already approaching the earth, and it was evening in the blink of an eye.

When Jino walked into the castle, he saw his old brother sitting on the sofa with a serious face, and the table was filled with documents.

"Bad mood?"

Gino asked the maid to bring him a glass of milk and drank it. He sat next to Lex with a smile and patted the cheap guy on the shoulder: "What happened, let me see."

As he spoke, Jino picked up the documents on the table and after browsing them roughly, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "The annual financial report showed a 20% loss."

"It seems that Dad will lay off you soon."

"I know." Lex rolled his eyes angrily, then shook his head and said, "But I don't want to lay off employees. Those people have been working in Luther Enterprises for more than ten years, and they can't find suitable jobs after leaving the enterprise."

Gino raised his eyebrows, as if he was meeting Lex for the first time. He looked Lex up and down, and said jokingly: "Is this the same ruthless Lex I know?"

Of course, this is all a joke. My brother actually has kindness, but this kindness is often suppressed in his heart.

"However, you have to be careful about Dad, if he knows that you are not planning to lay off employees." Geno shrugged and gave Lex a wish-for-you look.

There is no such thing as kindness in their father, Lionel's life, and "greed" flows in his blood.

Lex's expression was gloomy, and the light on his bald head seemed a little reflective: "I understand."

"I see."

Lana hung up the call with her boyfriend and opened her door.

It was late at night and she wanted to go to bed.

Lana, who was wearing light blue pajamas, stepped forward, her nightgown gently swinging up to lift up a pair of straight and round thighs under her skirt.

The girl's wheat-like complexion gives people a healthy and energetic feeling. It is no wonder that she has become the dream girl of many boys in Smallville Town High School.

Compared with the pink and white skin color favored by the East, Americans prefer wheatish skin color.

The girl's boudoir is more cartoon-style, with a small, carefully dressed box quietly placed on the sheets of a pink cartoon cat.

"This is?"

Lana walked towards the box curiously. She didn't know where the box came from. Maybe it was a surprise arranged by Whitney before she went home?

Thinking in her heart, Lana opened the packaging box with dexterous hands.

The next second, as the box was opened, countless beautiful and colorful butterflies flapped their wings and flew around.

The beautiful scene made Lana's originally plain face reveal a happy look, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

"Wow, this is so beautiful!" Lana admired sincerely, watching the butterflies dancing with them.

And as the sight zooms out.

On a big tree with a crooked neck not far from Lana's white villa, a stooped figure was squatting on the trunk without any form. He was holding a camera and facing Lana's room on the second floor of the white house.

Seeing the girl's happy smile, the young man also made a lewd "hehe" sound in his throat.
