Luo Li held the suitcase tightly and exhaled softly.
Then he seemed to think of something, hesitation flashed across his eyes, and he gained courage for a moment.
He took out an old-style flip phone from the inner layer of his clothes. There were only two numbers stored in this phone, one was Zhang Xiaoman and the other was Mr. Bai.
Luo Li pressed the number and placed it on the shell of his ear.
"beep--"
Time became a bit long in an instant, and the echo of the phone call that had not been answered kept echoing in his ears. He looked towards the alley as if to escape, the lights of passing cars flashed across his sight, and his eyelids drooped as he was about to hang up the phone.
"What's wrong, Luo Li, has something happened?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded, Luo Li pointed his finger, and an indescribable sweetness spread in his heart. His lowered eyebrows instantly raised, and he said cheerfully: "I'm fine, Xiaoman, I just called you to tell you."
Things are done."
"..."
There was a brief silence on the other side of the phone.
Luo Li was inexplicably panicked.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me if it's nothing important?" Zhang Xiaoman's voice was still gentle and soft, but it was inexplicably a bit hard. "Besides, wait until I get there."
Luo Li opened his mouth, and the harsh sound of a train whistle suddenly burst into his ears, and the conversation came to an abrupt end. After a while, he murmured: "I just want to tell you that I got the job done.
.”
"Have you encountered any difficulties?" Zhang Xiaoman asked.
"It can't be regarded as nothing."
Luo Li couldn't help but think of that rock-like face, and his voice revealed a hint of a smile with mixed meanings: "They saw that I was young and weak, so they wanted to eat the goods. But... in the end, the guy barely obeyed the rules.
After all, the source of goods is in our hands."
Zhang Xiaoman smiled gently.
"Right now, we are facing more and more difficulties. You should be careful in Binhai." She paused and continued: "Especially about that gentleman, don't let him know, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
"
Luo Li heard the concern in Zhang Xiaoman's words, and the gloom in his expression slightly dispersed, and he solemnly said: "Don't worry, I have carefully considered it in my heart."
"Stop talking, it's time for me to get in the car."
"When will it arrive?"
"Tomorrow at noon."
Zhang Xiaoman hung up the phone directly.
Luo Li put down his cell phone and looked at the outline of his face reflected on the dark screen, a trace of excitement covered by the gloom. Looking around, he rushed out of the alley on the sewage and got straight into the car parked under the tree.
He turned the key in the ignition and was about to step on the accelerator.
"It's a bit slow~"
A teasing voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Luo Li's hand holding the steering wheel suddenly tightened, and he was suddenly startled to sweat on his back. He glanced at the rearview mirror subconsciously, but saw that the mirror was covered with a thick layer of dust. He raised the corner of his mouth: "Mr.
, why are you here?"
"Just running something nearby."
Wearing sunglasses, Liu Rufu leaned back on the back seat, looked at Luo Li's nervous look, and smiled slightly: "The work should be done with some enthusiasm, just don't let the love between children slow you down."
'Every move you make is under the eyes of the other party.'
When he thought of this, Luo Li suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He felt a cold poisonous snake coming out of the clothes on his back, and the snake licked the back of his neck from bottom to top.
"Mr. Bai, please rest assured that Luo Li will never make mistakes."
"Of course I believe in your determination."
Liu Rufu's whole body was shrouded in shadow. He raised his hand and threw a document into the passenger seat. "Bring this thing back to him. You need to memorize it thoroughly within twenty minutes. You can't make a single mistake!"
Tick tock.
Luo Li's eyelashes trembled, a drop of sweat fell in his eyes, and he nodded vigorously.
"Oh, relax." Liu Rufu's smile rose, he straightened up and patted Luo Li's shoulder, like a close friend: "I'm leaving first, do your best!"
boom!
It wasn't until he heard the sound of the car door closing again that Luo Li let out a breath of relief, and all the strength in his body seemed to disappear. Only then did he realize that his whole body was sticky and soaked with sweat.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Li wiped the sweat from his eyes and drove away quickly.
"If you have a weakness, you can easily take advantage of it."
Under the shade of the tree, Liu Rufu watched the dim red tail lights go away, reached into his trouser pocket and took out the chocolate, opened the package and took a bite, feeling the sweetness melting on the tip of his tongue, and a trace of satisfaction could not help but show in the corners of his eyes.
Although he was sent here to work by Mrs. Mi because he was suspected of being a traitor, it was not all bad. At least he had more room for movement in terms of personal freedom.
Otherwise, staying in the belly of the turtle all day long and allowing him to outwit others would be a skillful woman who cannot make a meal without straw.
Secondly, chocolate is Liu Rufu’s recent surprise discovery.
Perhaps because he had been tortured by Li Kui for a long time in the Infernal Purgatory, his numb and cold nerves unexpectedly liked the taste of chocolate. It was slightly astringent and then sweet in the mouth. This taste made him feel happy.
——
——
Liu Rufu bit the chocolate, turned around and walked into a closed store with four big characters in gold on the sign - Xiangjia Rice Factory.
The tall and thin figure passed through the rolling shutter door from solid to virtual, and came all the way into the huge warehouse.
The incandescent lamp was bright, and as far as the eye could see, there were workers carrying wooden boxes coming and going. Most of them were taciturn. When they passed by Liu Rufu, they would lightly nod and then walk to the back of the warehouse.
‘The small logistics base of Huiyumen.’
Liu Rufu put one hand in his pocket and strolled to a row of shelves. He hooked his fingers into the gap and pried open the wooden box. Under the foam were piles of shiny firearms. The black muzzles and rough shapes revealed a bit of ferocious murderous intent.
Feelings spread.
"Sometimes, I really don't dare to gamble.
"I believe that with your intelligence, general, you will be able to find the chess pieces I have laid out. However, every time I think of myself working for the enemy, I always feel a little aggrieved and unable to understand my thoughts.
"I'm ready to give each other a chance."
Liu Rufu touched the cold texture of the gun, moved his eyebrows, and raised his lips in a playful manner.
"Mr. Bai."
Suddenly, there was a shout from behind.
Liu Rufu calmly turned around, and the black lenses reflected a little old man who was no more than five feet tall. He was smiling obsequiously, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He said respectfully: "Where were you just now? The little old man turned around and said
I haven't seen you anywhere, but I'm looking for a good meal."
"Walking around casually."
Liu Rufu's tone was calm.
Hearing this, the little old man's smile did not change: "You are here for the first time, and the guys have set up a banquet for you..."
"It doesn't matter to me whether I eat or not."
Liu Rufu took two steps forward and looked down at the old man condescendingly. A piece of chocolate wrapping paper fell lightly from his hand, and suddenly it turned into an account book and hit the little old man's forehead: "I just found something interesting, I don't know.
After reading this, do you still have the appetite for the Jie Feng Banquet?"
"This is……"
The little old man took the account book and only glanced at it twice, his expression suddenly froze.
"so."
Liu Rufu chewed the chocolate, bent down and slowly got close to the little old man's face, "How are you going to explain this to me?"
There was a hint of panic in the little old man's flattering smile. He could even smell the delicate fragrance of chocolate from such a close distance. He hurriedly explained: "Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, please listen to my explanation."
Liu Rufu ignored him and left leisurely.
The old man, who was no more than five feet tall, pulled up his short legs and chased after her, arguing all the way.
