In the hall, Wen Rensheng lowered his head and looked at a laptop placed on the coffee table.
Zhang Yi just transferred a WPS document to his computer using a USB flash drive.
It can be seen that he has done a lot of tidying up in the past year and a half.
It contains information about his brother before his disappearance. His name is Zhang Rong, his age is 32 years old, and he works as a blast furnace operator in No. 32 of the Wuse Group Steelmaking Plant, with a monthly salary of 13,000 yuan.
If you put aside the hard work and danger, this is a pretty good salary level among many common industries in China.
In this world, China is truly a vast land with abundant resources. Although it still has a population of 1.4 billion, its area is more than double that of his previous life.
Therefore, the average price is much lower than in his previous life, especially food staples such as wheat and rice, which cost 50 cents per catty. They are exported in large quantities every year. Pork has been only 5 to 8 yuan per catty all year round, and has not increased in more than ten years.
price.
However, housing prices in big cities are higher than in his previous life. For example, in a first-tier city like Dongshui City, the average housing price is more than 20,000, and it is rising year by year.
Wen Rensheng knew this very well, and this was the result of the mysterious realm being mixed into it.
Only big cities can allocate and attract mysterious experts to station themselves. The sense of security alone is enough to attract newly middle-class families to buy houses in big cities and become the underpinning of housing prices.
The Inspection Department's ability to directly handle mysterious incidents can only reach the county level.
That is to say, if a mysterious incident occurs in a township, the township does not have the ability to deal with it, and the county inspection department must be notified to send someone to solve it.
The parents of the Zhang family used the 3 million in consolation money received after the death of brother Zhang Yi to buy a house for him in the county, arranged for him to work in a stable public institution, and bought two sets of storefronts for rent.
Originally, if everything continued and remained stable for twenty years, a middle-class family would be born.
But Zhang Yi's stubbornness made all of this discarded. I wonder if the other party will regret it after knowing the truth?
After Wen Rensheng read it, with Zhang Yi's expectant eyes, he took out his mobile phone and started making calls.
After just two rings, the phone was connected, and a hearty middle-aged man laughed from the other side.
"It's Mr. Wen Ren. Congratulations on your success in passing the selection of the judges. It seems that He and Li were right. They are really formidable. Sure enough, the old ones are still hotter." This voice clearly belonged to Xu Qingshu.
"Mr. Xu, thank you. I have something to do here, and I would like to ask Mr. Xu for help." Wen Rensheng said calmly.
Zhang Yi's face changed slightly when he heard this: "Mr. Xu" the other party is calling. Who is that "Mr. Xu"?
He pretended not to care, but in fact he tilted his ears and tried his best to hear the voice on the phone clearly.
But he was not a mutant, so how could he hear clearly? Wen Rensheng was not using a copycat phone, but a high-security mobile phone specially provided by the Inspection Department.
"It's my honor, Xu Qingshu, to serve Mr. Wen Ren. How can I call it troublesome? Just say so." Xu Qingshu was very polite.
"That's right, I want to check the whereabouts of a person..." Wen Rensheng said slowly.
Zhang Yi couldn't hear the voice on the phone clearly, but just from what Wen Rensheng said, he guessed that he was asking this "Mr. Xu" to help find his brother.
He suddenly felt grateful. He didn't expect that the other party was such an enthusiastic person, so he began to use his personal connections to help. This was the alien's connections, and it was definitely not something that could be solved with just a few hundred thousand.
But as he listened, he felt something was wrong, "Mr. Xu"?
Apart from the leader of the Five Color Group that he wanted to investigate, who else, Mr. Xu, could be talked to by such a big shot as Wen Rensheng in such a polite tone?
Zhang Yi suddenly became vigilant and subconsciously looked towards the exit of the hall, thinking of a terrifying possibility.
Throw yourself into a trap...
No wonder the newspaper was dropped at his house while he was repairing the water pipes in a nearby villa, but the other party didn't react at all.
They are the same species!
At this moment, Wen Rensheng suddenly said: "Well, then I'll let him..."
Zhang Yi immediately kicked out, pushed open the hall door, and ran away!
He remembered clearly that there was a patrol station station nearby, as well as an ordinary patrol station.
It only takes 5 minutes to run!
However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped.
He looked inexplicably horrified, and it turned out that Wen Rensheng had been standing outside the courtyard waiting for him at some point.
At this time, his face was not as calm as before when he was facing Zhao Han, but it was full of panic.
He couldn't tell the difference between the depth and the depth of the person in front of him, and he even suspected that some of the information he had found before was just a disguise.
"Mr. Zhang seems to be very anxious. Forget it. Although I have always hated working overtime, after all, this matter has something to do with me. It's better to settle down as soon as possible." Wen Rensheng said, reaching out his right hand and holding down Zhang Yi.
shoulders.
Zhang Yi subconsciously wanted to scream, but even greater fear came to mind.
Because he found that his body did not obey the command at all, just like a dog seeing a tiger, only the instinct of trembling was left!
It wasn't until the third person's voice appeared that he could regain some consciousness.
"Master, are you going out so late?" Li Shuangyue came over, opened the door of the blue and black car, got in and started the car.
"Well, it just so happens that the judges have been selected. Let's settle the matter as soon as possible. I don't want to be called away again when I'm working overtime." Wen Rensheng said casually, and pushed and hugged Zhang Yi, who was shaking, and threw him away.
Get in the back of the car.
It's over.
This must be the scene depicted in many mysterious dramas, where powerful and strange aliens, wealthy locals... all work together to murder good people!
In the midst of Zhang Yi's rich inner drama, the car started.
The silver-white courtyard gate fence senses the approaching car and retracts to one side, and the car then leaves the villa.
Zhang Yi stared at the direction of the car and did not leave the villa area, but drove towards a mountain range further south.
Yes, that area is the wealthy area of Dongshui City, and the area below is the area where aliens live.
However, his shoulders were held down by the other party and he could not move at all. He could only watch the car slowly drive towards the rich area.
People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.
These 8 words came to his mind.
…………
Half an hour later, Xu Qingshu's villa, somewhere in the basement.
"Brother?"
Zhang Yi couldn't believe his eyes, rubbed them vigorously, and then looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who looked almost like himself, but was much older.
"Xiao Yi? How did you find yourself here? Didn't you send the three million to your home?" The middle-aged man was even more surprised, with a bit of annoyance in his tone.
"All the money has been sent, but I, I can't live without my eldest brother!" Zhang Yi heard the other party's voice and the care and sincerity that could never be disguised. He had no doubts at the moment and pounced on him.
Zhang Rong's face was complicated when he heard this, and he hugged his brother tightly in his arms.
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect..." He couldn't help but shed tears and murmured to himself, "I'm so stupid, really, I just thought that my parents would only favor you. I thought that as long as I gave you money, you
You will soon forget about me and continue to live your life as before. Anyway, you will continue the family lineage of the old Zhang family. I didn’t expect that you would still be as stupid as you were when you were a child..."
"Brother, let's go back to our hometown! We will earn back the money and pay it to them." Zhang Yi raised his head and looked at his brother who was clearly less than 35 but looked as old as forty years old and had a rough face.
, couldn’t help but persuade.
"No, no!" Zhang Rong pushed him, held his shoulders firmly, stared into his eyes and said:
"This opportunity was given to me by Boss Xu. There are so many people in the factory, but I was chosen, which shows that I have some qualifications. I don't want to sweat like rain every day, let alone let the descendants of our Zhang family, and
We live the same life!"
"However, the two of us can still provide for our children to go to school. I am also a college student. If I can tutor them, they will definitely learn better than me, go to a first-class university, continue their studies, and study for a Ph.D., and they will be able to prosper.
"Zhang Yi said with all his strength.
He has checked many things and knows that the world of aliens is definitely not that simple. Luck, qualifications, character, connections... there are too many uncertain factors.
In comparison, in terms of academics, as long as you are willing to endure hardship and have an online IQ... you can guarantee a basic future, at least a middle-income guarantee, and you will not become a homeless person assigned to border development.
The key is that there is almost no risk. The biggest risk is whether the parents can educate him, but he is still somewhat confident about this.
"Go to school?" Zhang Rong was stunned for a moment, as if hesitating, but then shook his head and whispered, "No, I can't let my future son complete what I can't do. I don't want it to be done either.
He is just like me when he was in school. He couldn't hold his head high in front of the girl he liked, and could only have a humble crush on her... How old would he be if he could finish his Ph.D. in America? After graduation, wouldn't he only be able to take out a loan?
Buy a house and spend the rest of your life looking for a mediocre woman!"
Then his voice became louder again: "But now I have this opportunity. As long as I, as long as I become a mutant now, everything will change. Even if it is just a temporary possession, I can still enter the edge of that world. From now on, our entire Zhang family,
It’s completely different!”
Zhang Yi shook his head and looked at his brother, a complete stranger.
For the first time, he discovered that he didn't know his brother very well. He didn't know what his brother was like when he was in school, what he was like when he was working, or even what he wanted.
He only knew that his brother's expenses from high school to college were earned by working after graduating from technical secondary school, which allowed him to live a decent life in front of other classmates.
