Chapter 166: Acting

Geylang is a complex area.

There are many temples, halls, food, and there are so many romantic places here that are unbelievable.

There are two types of "falling" women here. One is to pick up customers indoors and have legal employment procedures. The other is to pick up customers on the street, and to hand over certain protection fees to local forces or directly controlled by chicken heads. This is prohibited by Singapore law.

Now that the sun has not yet set, the red light district in Geylang is already crowded. On the streets, alleys, and roadsides, the ages range from 18 to 50, height from 1.45 to 1.85, skin color from white to yellow to black, nationality from American to Chinese to Philippines, weight from 37 kilograms to 100 kilograms...

In short, there are all kinds of women! They are almost one next to one, with the maximum distance of no more than two meters, and the minimum distance reaches more than a dozen people shoulder to shoulder. Just like the goods on supermarket shelves, they are open in front of customers and can be chosen.

The blatant degree of this illegal act is shocking, but the locals have long been accustomed to it. So what if Singapore is the country with the most severe law enforcement in the world? The authorities still cannot withstand the economic pressure among the people. After hitting the streets, they cut off the income source of thousands of hotels in Geylang. The economic recession, tax revenue decreased, and criminal crime rate increased... This is obviously a cancer, but from the founding father of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew and until the current ruling leader, no political fu has a way to eradicate it. He can only turn a blind eye and close his eyes!

There are rules for the industry, and there are also rules for stealing. Although Geylang is full of market atmosphere, it is also full of vivid human touch. Li Qiang's parents run a small sex toy store here, and their career has increased recently and have started a wholesale business for several domestic brand products.

"Old Li, Ke Xin from Lane 12 wants ten boxes of small caterpillars today. You can send them there while you are not busy now?"

The person who is called Lao Li is Li Hualin, Li Qiang's father. In fact, he is not old at all. He is a little darkened by the strong sunshine in Singapore. He looks about 40 years old.

"Ten boxes, right? How much does it cost?"

Li Hualin agreed and stood up. It was illegal to smoke in public places in Singapore and would be punished with public detention and fines. Even if he smoked in his own store, he had quit smoking completely.

"Fifty-five yuan, you can get faster on the road, and business will be busy later." Li Qiang's mother reminded.

Li Hualin took out ten boxes of "little caterpillars", as the name suggests, it is a sex toy that looks a bit like a caterpillar. The 55-yuan New Coin is almost equivalent to 300 yuan. It is still worth a trip to make half the profits in this business.

Along the way, all the women standing on the street were seen. Many of them already knew Li Hualin, a businessman who traveled here several times a day. Of course, there were also some women who just arrived here to find gold and didn't understand the situation. They greeted him in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and other languages ​​and wanted to do his business.

But the location of the Xinyan Toy Store is very interesting, just opposite the face of a huge reclining Buddha statue. Many people may find it incredible, but this is a very common situation in Geylang. Even under the body of the Buddha statue, there are more than a dozen women posing in their heads and waiting for business to come.

Li Hualin walked into Kexin and handed over the little caterpillar with the clerk. He was about to walk out when he suddenly heard a familiar sound coming from the speaker and his footsteps stopped.

"What show are you watching?" He came to the counter and asked the cashier in Chinese.

This store is also opened by Chinese. The cashier is from Jiangsu. She is about 10 years old and is the boss's daughter. At this time, she is watching a TV program using the computer on the counter. The sound from the speaker was made by this computer.

"Haha, Uncle Li." The cashier smiled at Li Hualin and said, "This morning, someone climbed up a skyscraper in Chongqing with bare hands. I was watching the live video of it at that time."

"Oh? Can you let me see too?" Li Hualin stretched his neck forward.

The cashier nodded and smiled, turning half of the computer screen over.

When Li Hualin saw this, he was stunned. He just felt that the sound coming from the speaker was very familiar. Looking at the computer screen, wasn’t the young man who was interviewed by the host? Isn’t it his son Li Qiang?

"Old Li, Old Li?"

Kexin's boss Huang Cheng had just come back from dinner outside. When he saw Li Hualin stretching his neck and lying on his counter, staring at the computer screen without turning his eyes. He happily stepped forward and took a photo of him, but Li Hualin turned a deaf ear and had no reaction at all.

"What's wrong with Old Li?" Huang Cheng pulled Li Hualin's shoulder in confusion.

Unexpectedly, Li Hualin struggled forward hard and broke free from his hand.

"What's wrong with him?" Huang Cheng looked at his daughter Huang Xiaoxin in confusion.

Huang Xiaoxin shrugged without knowing the so-called "Shoulder" and pointed to the screen on the computer screen.

Just then, because the Internet was not smooth enough, the video screen was stuck. Li Hualin was so anxious that he scratched his head. He looked around and saw Huang Cheng.

"Old Li, what's wrong with you?" Huang Cheng asked with laughter and cry.

"This, this...ah!" Li Hualinton said, "This kid is really worry-free!"

After the video was buffered, it was played again. Huang Cheng was puzzled by Li Hualin's brainless words. Huang Xiaoxin's eyes suddenly lit up and pointed to the computer screen and screamed: "Uncle Li, this Li Qiang shouldn't be your son, right?"

"It's him..." Li Hualin hit the counter with one big head and two punches.

...

Relatives far away in Singapore could not watch the live broadcast of Li Qiang's challenge to Chongbin Poly Building, and at this critical moment, they could not contact him, so they could only be anxious.

At this time, under the gaze of everyone, Li Qiang had already arrived at the bottom of Chongbin Poly Building. The media's spotlight shone on the spot and was no less than the concert effect of international superstars.

This time, Li Qiang did not assist. The climb he chose was a curtain wall with glass to the bottom. Just tiptoe to reach the steel frame connecting the two layers of glass. With a kick under his feet, his body climbed up smoothly.

As he began to climb, the scene suddenly became quiet. This time he climbed neatly and in a blink of an eye, he had reached the height of ten floors.

"I'll just go, experts can tell if there is any! The guys who challenged the top of the guys just now had only climbed to the top of the fourth floor. It took more than ten minutes. It took Li Qiang only more than a minute to climb to the top of the tenth floor!"

"Damn, if I had known this, I should have prepared a telescope in advance! If I crawl for a while, I can't even see the shadow!"

"I'm so big. If I climb so high, I don't have to fall to death. I'll be scared to death."

"Brother Qiang is so good, come on!"

"Dear viewers in front of the TV, maybe you just turned on the TV, maybe you just switched to our Southwest Satellite TV channel, this is the program shooting scene at Chongbin Poly Building, Yuzhong District, Chongqing. I am the front host Zhou Zhou..."

The live TV camera was aimed at the female host and sucked Li Qiang into the background of the picture with an elevation angle. All the viewers who had just turned to this channel temporarily put down the remote control in their hands, and the warm atmosphere in the picture infected them in an instant.

Li Qiang was still climbing, and it was very fast. He was calm and orderly, and occasionally bypassed some obstacles that affected his progress. In a short while, he climbed to a height of 100 meters. The citizens on the street below were filled with joy. It was so exciting and powerful!

The exterior walls of skyscrapers are very regular, unlike ordinary buildings, where several wires appear from time to time, rows of air-conditioning windows are hung, or clothes are dried, the walls are loose and disrepaired, etc.

This provides Li Qiang with great convenience, but also reduces the difficulty of the challenge and the thrilling and exciting viewing.

So when Li Qiang climbed to the 38th floor of the building, his feet suddenly slipped, his lower body lost support, and he hung his whole body on the narrow platform protruding on the exterior wall of the building with his hands.

This trick was so realistic that Wang Yufei and others who were nervously watching the screen in the broadcast car were frightened and almost had a heart attack!

The Jiefang Monument exclaimed, and the sound was so strong that even Li Qiang, who was a hundred meters above the altitude, could hear it clearly. He smiled secretly, lifted his legs with his arms and returned to his climbing posture. After resting for more than ten seconds, he continued to climb upwards.

"Milk Horse, I was scared to death just now!"

"You don't have to be so hard-working, my heart almost popped out of my throat."

"Come on, Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang is mighty, Brother Qiang has successfully challenged!"

"Mom, what's wrong with you, mom, are you okay?!"

According to incomplete statistics afterwards, Li Qiang's trick "sends" six viewers at the Jiefangbei scene into the ambulance, and many viewers who watched the live broadcast on TV quickly used quick-acting heart-saving pills. A very small number of viewers could not stand the strong stimulation of this program and decisively changed the channel, which reduced the ratings of the program by 0.00,0001 percentage points.

The sky gradually darkened, and a helicopter illuminated Li Qiang at a 60-degree angle on the back of the side of Li Qiang, using searchlights to illuminate him at a long distance. On the one hand, it improved the visibility of the program and on the other hand, it also provided convenience for Li Qiang's climb.

"It's almost done, it's almost done, I've already climbed four-fifths?"

"He climbed so fast, it only took more than twenty minutes."

"You see his movements, they are completely eased and still so agile and powerful."

"Aren't he really afraid? If he falls down, his bones will be broken and he will die on the spot and he can't die any more."

"I dare not look at it anymore. My heart can't stand it anymore. I have chest tightness."

At this moment, someone suddenly let out a shocking scream in front of a TV set far away in the mountain city.

It was Dong Boliang. He lost his accuracy because of his excessive excitement. He wanted to cut the paper man who cursed Li Qiang with one knife, but accidentally cut a deep bone-showed wound on his left hand. He suddenly felt blood flowing, and a large piece of it flowed on the table in a blink of an eye!
