C2 Li Fei
Mount Hua is one of the five great mountains of China. It is famous overseas and countless Chinese and foreign tourists come here every year to enjoy the beauty of Mount Hua.
Huayin City was only seventy to eighty kilometers away from Mount Hua. The city wasn't big, but it was very prosperous. Tall buildings lined the streets as people flowed in and out. All kinds of expensive cars were on the streets. The night was beautiful, and both men and women walked out, holding hands as they enjoyed the beautiful scenery under the night sky.
It was already December, and the overcast weather was beginning to cool down, but it wasn't too cold either.
At the entrance of a commercial street, there was a sudden clamor and everyone stopped to watch.
A young man wearing a black jacket ran out from the street, pushing through the crowd. Behind him, three tall security guards wearing uniforms and holding truncheons shouted with a ferocious expression.
"Kid, don't run. Stand still!"
"Catch him, catch him!" "That kid stole something from our store!"
However, in this society, there weren't many people who were willing to help others, much less those who dared to try anything against criminals.
What's more, the young man's speed was extremely fast. Like a fish swimming in water, he squeezed into the crowd, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared from the three security guards' line of sight.
The three security guards panted heavily and grumbled on the spot. They were probably discussing how to explain themselves when they got back, so that they could escape their superior's chastisement.
At this moment, the youth finally slowed down after a few turns. His face was not red and his breathing was even. Under the dim light of the street lamp, he began to curse loudly.
"These past few days, I've been discovered by people frequently. Could it be that my skills have declined?"
After shaking his head, the youth took out a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his sportswear pants and lit one up. He placed it in his mouth and took a deep breath.
The youth was about fifteen or sixteen years old. His face was dark and there was a conspicuous scar at the corner of his left eye. However, the scar was not ugly and when paired with his face, it gave off a domineering feeling.
A young man wearing cheap sneakers, a black jacket, and black sweatpants walked into a dark alley while puffing out smoke. After knocking on a rusty metal door for a long time, a man in shorts opened the door and swore.
This was the only civilian area in Hua Yin City. The residents were concentrated here, the people were mixed in, the living conditions were relatively poor, the social security was poor, and at night, there were even poison bets and robberies.
Many young ladies and young people would choose to rent a house here because the prices here were cheap. Many big shots would choose to trade here because it was a relatively safe place with a chaotic flow of people.
Of course, the hygiene here was the worst that Lee Fei could bear. It was f * cking terrible, the alley was full of stench. Lee Fei could not stand the hygiene here, it was f * cking bad, the alley was full of stench.
This was what was known as a decadent residential area.
"Who is it? "Most of the night, disturb my sleep." A middle-aged man in red underpants and barefooted slippers opened the door, exposing half of his head.
There were almost no lights in the alley and it was very dark. He could barely see the boy clearly.
"Lao Wang, oh *, hurry up and open the door and let me in, I'm Flying Child." The young man was very disrespectful to the man, so after a curse, he squeezed through the door and entered.
With a creak, he closed the rusty metal door. Hearing Lee Fei's voice, Lao Wang seemed to be very happy as he smiled and led the young man into a side room.
He placed a bottle on the table and opened one for himself. In the meantime, Lee Fei had already taken out a few pieces of jewelry from his pocket: a bracelet, a ring, and a golden chain as thick as chopsticks.
"Oh?" Where did the Flyer go today? So many good things? " When Lao Wang saw the golden chain, his eyes lit up. After a thorough check, he weighed the item on the scale beside the chain.
"One hundred forty-eight grams. Your one hundred fifty grams." Looking at the weight, Lao Wang took out an exquisite key from his pocket, opened a silver white safe and took out several stacks of RMB.
The two of them were old customers, so they had to do this kind of transaction several times a month.
After counting the money, Lee Fei frowned. He slammed the money onto the table, pointed at Lao Wang's head and started cursing.
"Lao Wang, you actually gave me forty-five thousand for the one hundred and fifty grams?" Lee Fei had started his career at the age of twelve and had been in this situation for four years. He was not a good person either.
Lao Wang's main source of goods depended on the Flying Child. Although Lee Fei was young, his ability was very high. Plus, their relationship could be considered as good, so he didn't care too much about Lee Fei's disrespect towards him.
Sighing, he had to reply, "Feizi, you know that the miracles from a few days ago made people panic-stricken. The price of the gold market plummeted, and now I'm giving you 300, it's already a high price."
"A miracle? "Humph!" A few days ago, in the direction of Mount Hua, a rare mirage appeared. Mountain after mountain pierced the clouds, and one after another immortal gate stood in the sky. One could vaguely see cranes flying inside, and the dragons and phoenixes were called mirages by the people of the world.
Remembering the apocalyptic rumors from all over the world that day, he almost lost to them.
"Alright then, I'll be leaving first." Shrugging his shoulders, the world has indeed been in turmoil these few days. Prices have been fluctuating a lot. Lee Fei mumbled a few sentences, put the money in his pocket and turned to leave.
"Wait …" At this moment, Lao Wang rolled his eyes and suddenly shouted.
"Why?" Lee Fei stopped and turned around.
Gritting his teeth, Lao Wang thought for a while and finally decided to be ruthless. He said, "The authorities have arranged for someone to do it. The reward is 200 thousand yuan, do you want to do it?"
Lee Fei frowned and started to think.
200,000 wasn't a small amount. In this city, 200,000 was enough to buy a person's life. He also knew that Lao Wang wasn't an ordinary person. He didn't know what kind of power was above him. Lao Wang's true purpose of living here was actually to do business offline.
As for selling gold, it was just a side street for him.
"Why me?" Lee Fei was not stupid. A business deal worth two hundred thousand yuan was definitely not ordinary.
For those people, you are a new face, and you are young, and your skills are not bad, so ordinary people would not pay attention to you, not to mention that we are old acquaintances. I know that it is not easy for you to provide so many children by yourself. Lao Wang seemed to have calculated this point and bit on the word "money" very loudly.
"I need a new face to do it. It's very dangerous, three hundred thousand!" I want three hundred thousand! You must be afraid that if things get exposed, they will be implicated... Three hundred thousand, not a single cent less. I just need it. " Lee Fei said lightly after stretching three fingers out.
"Good, this is great!" "Tomorrow night at 10 o'clock, come to my place. I will give you 50,000 as deposit and after the matter is settled, come back to get 250,000 more!"
Lao Wang's straightforward acceptance caused Lee Fei to feel uneasy. Such a large sum? What kind of business was this?
Lee Fei walked out of the dark alley and turned seven corners before arriving on the highway. He stood under the dim street light and lit up a cigarette. After smoking for a long time, he finally stopped a taxi and gave his address.
Soon, the taxi drove out of the city and into the darkness.
After parking the car in front of a low building, Lee Fei paid the driver and got off.
The door was already locked. Next to the iron gate was a sign that said "Red Star Orphanage". The words were written in large, almost blurry, words that had been eroded by the wind.
Taking a few steps to the side, he saw a two-meter high brick wall. Lee Fei smirked, pressed his hand against the wall and his body floated up like a feather, gently landing on the other side of the wall.
Patting the dust off his hands, he walked towards a brick building, pushed open the door, and entered.
