Chapter 549 - 529: Boss Liu
Chapter 549 - 529: Boss Liu
Looking at Sun Zhe and Qing Kui, who appeared "honest and simple," and seemed inexperienced, Ah Lun chuckled.
Little did they know, real hunters often appear as prey.
During their conversation.
Sun Zhe and Qing Kui were brought by Brother Lun to a metal factory shed.
Inside the shed, around a dozen people could be seen scattered about, all with unfriendly expressions. Groups of three or five were playing cards, smoking, and chewing betel nut. Seeing Ah Lun bring in two newcomers, they all cast strange looks.
Sun Zhe pretended to be scared, moved closer to Ah Lun, and whispered, "Brother Lun, what is this place?"
Ah Lun just smiled without saying anything, walking straight ahead and leading Sun Zhe and Qing Kui into a makeshift office built out of synthetic wooden planks.
"Xiao Gang, new colleagues have arrived!"
Xiao Gang, the clerk responsible for interview registration, was dozing at the desk. Seeing Ah Lun bring in the newcomers, he instantly became alert, sitting up straight!
...
"What’s your name?"
"Sun Zhe."
"Zhou Qing."
"Alright... I’ll register you both now. Someone will take you to the dorm later. For confidentiality, you’ll need to give us your phones, ID cards, bank cards, and driver’s licenses for safekeeping."
Sun Zhe scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Well... we lost everything on this trip, and we have nothing on us, you see..."
Xiao Gang seemed impatient, "Then I’ll make you two temporary ID cards."
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed the White Jade Ring on Sun Zhe’s left thumb, feeling intrigued, and said, "Other than items allocated by the company, nothing else can be brought along."
Sun Zhe naturally noticed Xiao Gang’s gaze, flashed the ring on his hand, and asked, "Can’t bring this ring either?"
Xiao Gang nodded lightly, his expression very solemn.
Sun Zhe smiled casually, "Then I’ll leave it with the company."
Actually, Sun Zhe didn’t mind, because Little Dragon Girl would bring the ring back to him anyway.
For him, the most important thing now was infiltrating this den of thieves.
"Stay still, squat down with your hands on your head!"
Just as Sun Zhe was about to remove the White Jade Ring, a hurried sound of footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the shed.
Turning back to look, several police cars with flashing lights had stopped outside, and a dozen uniformed officers rushed in, each holding a gun.
The people in the shed instantly panicked, scattering like startled mice, but the door was blocked, leaving nowhere to escape. Eventually, they were all subdued by the officers, receiving a pair of silver bracelets.
"Oh no..."
Inside the office, Sun Zhe internally shouted that it was bad.
Yet, Ah Lun and Xiao Gang remained calm, as if this was not the first time such an event occurred, and immediately slipped out through the office’s back door without a glance at Sun Zhe and Qing Kui.
Inside the office.
Qing Kui glanced at Sun Zhe and asked, "What do we do now?"
Sun Zhe looked at the back door through which Ah Lun slipped away, "We’ll have to follow them."
"Bang!"
Unexpectedly, just as the two were about to escape, the office door was kicked open.
"Don’t move, hands up!"
Sun Zhe froze in place, cursing internally, raised his hands over his head, and slowly turned around to look.
The next moment his eyes widened.
"Chu Youdie?"
Chu Youdie, wearing a uniform and holding a gun, widened her beautiful eyes upon recognizing Sun Zhe’s face.
"Sun Zhe... is that really you?"
Sun Zhe suddenly lowered his hands, "What a coincidence!"
Chu Youdie coldly snorted, suddenly raising her gun, "What are you doing, hands up!"
Sun Zhe looked displeased, "What’s up with you? After all this time, meeting me with aggression?"
Chu Youdie’s face was expressionless, "Please cooperate, I’ll take you away first. Later, you’ll head to my place directly."
...
...
In front of the rundown office building.
After Sun Zhe and Qing Kui completed their records and were released, they flagged down a rundown tricycle on the roadside and headed towards an apartment building near the government building.
Following the address Chu Youdie had previously provided, Sun Zhe found Chu Youdie’s apartment.
Before he could knock, the door was already opened by Chu Youdie.
"Come in."
Sun Zhe entered the clean and tidy room, without removing his shoes, and plopped down onto the sofa, as if he were at his own place.
After closing the door, Chu Youdie walked up to him and asked, "How did you end up here? Do you know what kind of place this is?"
"Coming here to find work... tomorrow they’d send you to the park!"
Sun Zhe had a frustrated look, "It’s ironic, had you not messed things up, I’d be in the park tomorrow!"
"You really want to go there?"
Sun Zhe shrugged, "Big money, why not?"
"Be serious!"
Startled by the shout, Sun Zhe stared at the stern, uniformed Chu Youdie for a moment, feeling a bit unfamiliar.
Chu Youdie sat on the sofa opposite him, and asked, "Be honest, what are you doing in the park?"
Sun Zhe focused on her, "Looking for someone."
"Looking for Leng Yueshuang?"
Sun Zhe remained silent.
Chu Youdie continued, "She went missing, I’ve been looking for her too. But I know where Wang Feng is."
"Where?"
"In this town, he was injured before, shot in the belly, very severe, might last two or three days more."
Sun Zhe frowned, "Sent him to a hospital?"
Chu Youdie bitterly laughed, "If there were a hospital to send him to, it would be nice. Actually, our current situation is really bad, trapped in this small town, losing touch with the outside world."
Sun Zhe chuckled, "Looked like you had quite an impressive presence leading the raid on the factory shed."
Chu Youdie replied, "Rather than me leading, it was more the local police station putting on a show for me. The police station here, top to bottom, is already in cahoots with the gangs."
Sun Zhe sighed, "It’s really tough for you. Such a pretty woman, carrying out missions in a place like this."
He added, "Couldn’t reach you in Yang City before, guessed you must have followed Leng Yueshuang here."
Chu Youdie also sighed.
Sun Zhe asked, "Just you alone?"
Chu Youdie replied, "There are five colleagues, six including me. Half a month ago one sacrificed, we’re all living in this apartment, watched around the clock."
Sun Zhe said, "Where’s Feng? Take me to him first."
Chu Youdie pursed her lips, "He’s probably with Boss Liu now."
"Who’s this Boss Liu?"
"A local underground boss, has dozens of men, all armed."
Sun Zhe: "Take me there."
"I can’t leave this apartment now, but I can give you the address, go find it yourself."
With that, she returned to her bedroom, and shortly came back with a hand-drawn map.
Sun Zhe took it and glanced over, then frowned, "Who’s supposed to make sense of your drawing?"
Chu Youdie rolled her eyes, "Take it or leave it."
"Why don’t you personally lead me there?"
"Told you, this apartment is being watched. If I leave, even if breaking through, what about my colleagues?"
"Fine, I’ll go myself."
