Chapter 955 Turning the Page (Part 2)
0:13
The lights on the ground floor are particularly bright tonight. Some street lights that usually go out at 0 o'clock are still brightly lit at this time. Drunk people can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.
There are many pedestrians still gathering in groups on the streets of District 66. Because this district is close to the middle level, Zou Yun took a fancy to it in the early years and decisively purchased a large amount of land to build many independent villas and communities. Many middle-level people who are slightly richer have bought houses here.
Because it is close to the annual mutant examination, most companies are on holiday. The area has also benefited from the relationship that Le Xiao, the secretary of Section 13, has settled in the ground floor.
Some middle-level people who have invested in shops here have sold all their shops. This place has been deserted for a long time. Many people believed that Zou Yun would make this place the best district of the ground floor that is not inferior to many places in the middle level, so they bought properties here. However, the so-called economic revitalization plan has been frustrated repeatedly.
One of the biggest reasons is the big and small gangs at the bottom. Many consumer industries will be obstructed in various ways before they even start. The cost required under normal circumstances has doubled or even tripled under such complicated circumstances at the bottom.
If you refuse to agree to the conditions of some powerful gangs, they will use rogue means to disrupt normal operations. Although such practices will be arrested by the Operations Department, at most they will work on the farm for 1 to 3 months. The cost of crime is very low, but for some business-oriented industries, the effect is outstanding.
For so many years, the bottom has been like a big mud pit. No matter what method you use, it will sink to the bottom like a stone sinking into a swamp. Especially for some fights caused by disputes over gang interests, most people will only be arrested and put on record. If it is not particularly serious, they will basically be sent to the farm to work for one or two weeks as a punishment.
The most critical thing is that for some crimes, there are no witnesses at all. Many people who have been threatened with violence and persecution are speechless because they are afraid of retaliation. There have been countless bloody lessons in such things, and the Operations Department can't do anything because many people are unwilling to speak up. And those gangs have grasped the measure of the Operations Department for so many years, and generally will not do anything that crosses the line. The situation at the bottom is in such a delicate balance, like a pool of stagnant water.
Bang Bang
"Brother, I was wrong, please forgive me"
Tamayi knocked a young man's head directly against the wall. After bleeding, the young man fell softly to the ground. Many people watching nearby watched silently. On a busy back street, more than 20 young people were lying in a mess.
"Disperse, disperse, it's okay, no one will die!"
Tamai said as he dusted himself off. He had made an appointment with a friend to meet here, but when he went to the toilet, he bumped into a few young people. As a result, the other party, relying on their drunkenness and their large numbers, wanted to extort money from Tamai, but Tamai gave them a severe lesson.
"Stop!"
The crowd started to make noise again. Just when everyone thought that Tamai was going to be taught a lesson, they didn't expect such a result.
"Who is causing trouble here?"
A drunken captain of Section 5 came over with more than a dozen team members. Tamai looked at them with a squinting eye and directly showed the special letter of appointment from Section 13. Immediately, the captain nodded and said that he would handle it.
"Although it has become much better than before, it's just that the times have changed. The bottom class will never change."
Tamayi glanced at the time and returned to a barbecue restaurant on the main street. There were still people there at this point. As the mutant exam approached, everyone's topic about the 13th department secretary today began to gradually shift to the mutant exam. Many people were looking at the names of the registered examinees and had begun to buy bets. In order to attract large sums of money to enter, some bookmakers offered relatively high odds before the exam began. After the funds accumulated, they used this large amount of money to bet on the winning games at other bookmakers' handicaps. Basically, doing this every year is a sure win.
Looking at the street in front of him, Tamai smiled helplessly. Although it was still chaotic, there were no deaths and large-scale bloody conflicts, and there were no streetwalkers. It was just that fighting was difficult to prohibit.
At this time, there were some conflicts on the street again. People on both sides began to gather together and push each other. However, soon someone from the Action Department came to stop them, and both sides quickly dispersed.
"Finally here!"
Tamayi looked at the street, and a tall man with a hairy beard walked towards this side quickly, wearing a gray worker's uniform and a work hat.
"Finally here is Andre!"
Tamayi said, and the man immediately picked up a bottle of strong liquor on the table after sitting down, and drank it in one breath. The man who took off his hat looked vicissitudes of life, and looked very old. His thick brown beard looked like weeds, and it had not been properly taken care of for a long time.
"Boss, bring me more wine."
The man named Andre had the words Rocket Express on his hat. There was only Andre in this company. He was both the boss and the courier.
"Sorry, Tamayi, I went to deliver a few trips."
"Sorry!"
Tamayi said, and Andre grinned, grabbed the dishes on the table and started eating.
"It's not easy for you either. It's already hard to stay alive!"
There was a deep helplessness in Andre's words. Tamai nodded. He hadn't seen Andre for many years. He used to be a cadre of the Wise Crime Group at the bottom, but he only acted as a thug. , and they got along well with Tamai. On the eve of the accident, Tamai leaked part of the information to Andrei before he was arrested. Andrei did not hesitate and ran away with his family, and in the end he escaped. , but he was still caught later, all his assets were confiscated, and the mutants were directly removed from the list. They will never be able to obtain relevant documents for mutants, and they will not be able to enjoy the wages that mutants of the corresponding level should have, and they have been sitting on the job for almost 20 years. The prisoner was finally released.
After Andre came out, he went to see Tamai, hoping that Tamai would help him. However, Tamai could only spend most of the month at his own home, and he could eat and drink whatever he wanted every week. Make a list, and people from Section 1 will send it to you later, but it cannot exceed the quota of money that can be used that week, and your life will be miserable.
"Is there any good work I can do?"
Looking at Andre looking anxious.
"Short of money?"
"My daughter is getting married at the end of the year. I owe a lot to my family in my life. I want to buy an apartment for my daughter, but I still have a shortfall of more than 300,000 yuan."
Tamai nodded.
"Mr. Jean entrusted me to help him find some capable helpers. Are you willing?"
Andre nodded quickly in agreement.
"Don't you want to ask something?"
Andre shook his head.
"It doesn't matter even if you go to hell. Besides, I'm helping Mr. Jean, so I still trust him."
"We need to take a walk outside the barrier."
Andre was a little surprised, but he nodded quickly. At this time, he seemed a little embarrassed, and his hands covered with a lot of calluses were trembling slightly.
"If possible, can it"
"300,000, right?"
Andre hummed, his eyes a little red.
"Relationship with family"
Andre wiped his eyes and nodded, and Tamai patted him on the shoulder.
"Although things may be more dangerous this time, when I find all the people, we will all gather together. Then I will talk to Mr. Jean. Do you have any requirements when I come back?"
"Erase all my previous records!"
snap
The boiling water spilled out of the kettle and splashed on the wise man's pants. He immediately jumped up and kicked the kettle away angrily.
The wise man opened his mouth slightly, and there was a burning pain in his jaw. He was alone on the second floor of Section 13's store. He was born to be extremely strong. After the people from Section 5 sent him back, he let them leave, holding both hands. No consciousness at all.
With a touch of warmth in his eyes and a sore nose, the wise man stared quietly at the overturned kettle, and the steaming scalding water spilled all over the floor. Unknowingly, tears fell from his eyes.
The wise man has never had such a sense of frustration. Since a long time ago, he has relied on his clever head and constantly used all available resources and connections around him to constantly consolidate his position. Step by step, he has climbed to the bottom of the mud pit. top.
Looking again at my hands that are still in plaster and unable to move, I don't have any feeling below my shoulders. No matter what I do these days, I can only use my mouth or feet to replace the functions of my hands.
Looking at his hands that had no feeling at all, the wise man felt despair. When he helped the wise man perform surgery before, Hua Shen said that the only way for his hands was to amputate. If he wanted to recover, the probability was almost zero.
The wise man has never been so helpless as tonight. Everything he designed was broken in an instant. He didn't know how to explain to that innocent little girl, and he didn't know how to make the bottom All parties are convinced because what everyone thinks is not on the same channel.
Wise men had previously doubted whether Le Xiao really didn't know or just pretended not to know how complicated the underlying problems were, but now it seems that Le Xiao knows and really wants to solve these problems.
The more you want to get out of something, the deeper you get stuck in it. This is what the wise man feels today. He has no other ideas. He is no longer young. Those glorious years in the past are gone forever. At this time, At this moment, the wise man just wants to properly solve the problem of grandson Ran Zai.
These days, wise men always dream about the past, instilling evil into Ran Zai again and again, making him look at the world through evil eyes.
The thoughts in his head became more and more confusing. The wise man endured the pain all over his body and walked to the top floor step by step. Looking at the bustling streets around him, the wise man felt unprecedented pressure.
"Obviously controlling everything is the easiest solution, but it is extremely difficult to solve the problem!"
A deep sense of powerlessness fills the body of the wise man. The bottom has become like this. He has contributed most of the role. He uses money and power to tie everything up. Tying the knots layer by layer is what the wise man has always done. He only needs to act as a Just hold the hands on these knotted ropes, but everything is about to lead to a situation that a wise man cannot predict or imagine.
Didi didi
The wise man sat on the ground, hunched over with difficulty, bit out his cell phone from his pocket, and answered an unfamiliar number.
"Excuse me"
"grandfather!"
For a moment, the wise man's heart was full of mixed feelings, and his chest was filled with suffocation. He kept choking, and after adjusting for a long time, he said.
"What's wrong?"
"You shouldn't be crying, haha!"
A hearty laugh came out, the wise man tried to hold back tears, but tears still flowed out.
"Sorry!"
"It's really disgusting to hear you say this. I just want to ask you tonight, how did my mother die?"
The wise man didn't answer, nor did he dare to answer.
"Of course"
"Sorry, grandpa, my brain works well. You are old. If you feel tired, you can also choose the method you taught me. For those who are powerless and desperate, we should give the most sincere comfort. Living is meaningless to you!"
