Chapter Sixteen: Uncle McDonald's (Happy New Year)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
21st floor, Runde Building.

Thick velvet curtains were drawn on all the windows to prevent light from entering.

The client was sitting on the sofa, with a pale face and messy red hair. He dressed himself up as Ronald McDonald.

"Whiskey on the rocks? Camus xo? Or... you want a McNugget combo?"

Tang Wei twirled a glass of whiskey in his hand and couldn't help but want to make a joke.

Over the years of working in this industry, he had seen all kinds of people, and he thought he had long been used to seeing chaos in big scenes, but when faced with the client being Ronald McDonald, he still couldn't help but stand in awe.

Once upon a time, when Tang Wei was a child, he looked up at the McDonald's logo and swallowed his saliva.

"Camus xo, add ice." The client said in a low voice.

After receiving the Camus from Tang Wei, the client opened the suitcase he brought, and inside were neatly coded U.S. dollars of large denominations.

"Stuff," he said simply.

Tang Wei also lifted the box at his feet and placed it on the table.

Opening the box, there was a paper bag with a seal on it. The seal was covered with some kind of emblem, which was a half-dead giant tree.

The client stopped Tang Wei from cutting open the paper bag with scissors.

"Okay, no need."

He pushed the heavy suitcase towards Tang Wei and raised his eyes at the same time. The moment he touched his eyes, Tang Wei almost jumped up in shock!

There seemed to be a symbol in each pair of golden eyes, rotating slowly. Tang Wei felt dizzy, but couldn't move his eyes away.

There was a strange magic power that drove him to look directly into these majestic and mysterious eyes!

"I'm very satisfied with your efficiency, bye." Ronald McDonald drank the wine and ice in one gulp, stood up and walked out the door.

"Hey, you didn't take your things!" Tang Wei shouted, almost exhausted.

"The courier company will come to pick it up at seven o'clock in the evening. You can just hand it over to him then. Remember, it's FedEx." The client didn't look back.

Tang Wei slumped on the sofa and looked at the clock on the wall

"What kind of courier company works so hard? And provides door-to-door service at seven o'clock in the evening?"

He said to himself, but didn't notice that the time on the wall seemed to be a few minutes faster.

There were still two and a half hours before seven o'clock. Two and a half hours later, he washed his hands in the golden basin and said goodbye to the circle of hunters.



"The other party is a hunter, and it is a hunter group. Some of them may have blood." Professor Schneider said, "This mission is in China. We don't want to cause trouble and strive for a quick victory, so we have invested a team of up to nine people.

, the team leader is Chu Zihang, but he is not responsible for the command, orders are issued directly from the headquarters."

After the boarding wall was removed, the giant movie version of the display took up an entire wall of the central control room, with the 3D structural diagram of the Runde Building on it.

"The core goal is to break into the top floor of Tower A of Runde Building and regain the stolen information."

Professor Manstein nodded. Runde Building is a twin building, and the entire top floor of Building A is marked red.

"Millennium Labor Export Company" bought the entire top floor as its headquarters.

"Where's Mingfei?" Guderian flipped through the plan, "Why didn't I see Mingfei's responsible part?"

The other two people looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Manstein said: "Control and command is a very important job."

Guderian immediately nodded to express his understanding.

Schneider waved his hand out of thin air, erasing the 3D structural diagram on the giant screen, and he called up a cross-section diagram of the building from the database.

This time, all passages are marked in red, whether they are stairs, elevators, fire escapes or ventilation ducts.

"Look carefully, I set the task to five minutes. If it exceeds five minutes, the police will arrive and the hunter will have time to transfer the information."

"Five minutes? The elevator might not arrive in five minutes."

"We don't take the elevator, we take the direct route. Every building... requires glass cleaning!"



Chu Zihang was standing on the rooftop of the building, wearing a FedEx work uniform. The sun was gradually setting, and his shadow was very long under the setting sun.

He was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and the Escalade with giant 22-inch chrome wheels in front of the parking building was reflected in the sunglasses.

The time came to 18:15.

The sound of electricity came from the headphones.

Professor Schneider's hoarse voice sounded in his ears.

"Have you finished reading the action plan?"

"It's a very difficult task. If the other party doesn't have people with high blood concentration, I can complete it independently without the need for such cooperation. In addition, the people from the school engineering department are too conspicuous."

"Obey the order. We have told them to dress casually and keep a low profile. They will meet you in thirty minutes."

"clear."

"Once again, I'd like to reiterate that this is China, not the unsupervised area where you performed tasks before. Don't make too much noise!"

"clear."

"That's it, stay put and wait for the opportunity."

"clear."

Chu Zihang raised his head and looked at the sky.

The clouds lingering in the west in the afternoon have gradually passed over the city, and their color has gradually turned black, seeming to be a precursor to a storm.

It is going to rain?

He recalled reading the weather forecast in the morning and frowned unconsciously.

There wasn't supposed to be heavy rain today.





Lu Mingfei walked out of his uncle's house carrying a simple suitcase.

This time, because we communicated with the "professionals" in advance, everything went smoothly and didn't break up like last time.

After politely declining his uncle's offer to give it to him, Lu Mingfei simply packed up his things and walked out of the house.

"Mingfei!"

A voice from behind called him.

The uncle trotted up to Lu Mingfei and handed him an umbrella.

"Bring your umbrella, it seems like it's going to rain. The weather forecast is not accurate at all. Do you really want to go back to school early? Isn't it an excuse to go on a trip with your classmates? Forget it, traveling is pretty good, it's better than you

Do you have enough money to stay at home all day and be manipulated by your aunt?"

As the man spoke, he took out Jinlilai's wallet from behind his butt.

He opened the mezzanine and found seven or eight hundred-dollar bills inside.

After a slight hesitation, the uncle first took out four bills, then took out all the big bills and stuffed them into Lu Mingfei's hand.

"Boys should be generous when going out to play, and don't let girls spend money! You are now old and it's time to find a girlfriend. I was still discussing with your aunt today what kind of wife your brother should find in the future. You can't do this kind of thing

As an older brother, you can't lag behind your younger brother, right? Okay, let's go quickly, or we'll be late and miss the plane."

Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the man and hurried back, as if he had decided that he didn't want to be bossed around by his aunt, so he found an excuse to sneak away for a trip.

He looked down at the hundred-dollar bill in his hand, smiling a little sadly.

He remembered that time in Tokyo again.

That time was the same as today. This man who didn't have much money at all and relied on stealing money between his fingernails in the past stuffed everything he could give himself into his hands.

He always regarded himself as a descendant of the Lao Lu family.

so good……

A drop of rain suddenly hit his hair.

Lu Mingfei looked into the sky. Countless raindrops were falling from high altitudes, and a layer of white rain and mist filled the ground.

As soon as the rain started, it reached its peak.

It's raining.

"Brother, it's raining. Do you like the rain?"

The little devil suddenly appeared next to him, still dressed up and holding a black umbrella.

He stood next to Lu Mingfei, looking far away, his golden eyes full of coldness and disgust.

Lu Mingfei followed his gaze.

It was a prosperous area of ​​the city, with high-rise buildings standing in rows and rows. He used to yearn for it very much, thinking that the people living there were all social elites, and they were fundamentally different from the poor kids like him.

"Whether I like rain or not depends on you. If you like rain, then I like rain. If you don't like rain, then I also hate rain." Lu Mingfei said softly.

Lu Mingze looked up at his brother, but didn't get the answer he wanted from his eyes.

He sighed: "Brother, are you so unstable? When will you be truly independent?"

"Wrong understanding." Lu Mingfei held up an umbrella, lowered his head and smiled, "What this sentence wants to express is that I don't care about rain at all, just like I care about this world, whether this world is worth it or not.

What I like, it just depends on whether the people around me like this world or not."

Lu Mingze was stunned on the spot.

He looked at his increasingly unfamiliar brother and smiled brightly.

"Brother, do you want to go there to play? Something for nothing, remember? Recently, as a reward to new and old users, we gave away a trial version for free!"

Lu Mingze smiled innocently and pointed to a building standing in the rain in the distance.

There is Runde Building.

Lu Mingfei held an umbrella and said with a solemn gaze: "Free things are always the most expensive, but this time... I really want to play with Him."
