Jessie is kind and gentle, but she doesn't understand Joey.
It is difficult for people who live in happiness and warmth to understand the pain of a person who suddenly loses everything.
What's more, the incident that caused Joey to lose everything was not necessarily an 'accident'.
The mission of this copy is to ‘investigate the cause of the accident at Anvis Machinery Factory’.
There is a 'reason' for this 'accident'.
Judging from Joey's current experience, this 'reason' may not be very bright.
By the time He Ao had packed everything up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, and the bright sunlight shined through the open windows onto the living room floor that was still stained with water, reflecting crystal light.
He Ao glanced at the date, today is Sunday.
In the past, Joey's father would get up very early to make breakfast on this only day off every week, dragging his bleary-eyed son to enjoy the early morning sunlight.
Joey's parents were not very well educated and worked out to make a living after graduating from community middle school.
His father seldom spoke, and his logical ability was no longer able to win over his son, who was studying in a private high school and had excellent grades. Whenever Joey had an argument with him, he would blush and raise his hands, then silently put them down and walk away.
Go to the balcony and light a cigarette.
At this time, the mother will come over and give the father and son some mud.
But most of the time, my father is actually silent and gentle.
He Ao picked up the submachine gun on the table, pulled the bolt, and heard a crisp sound from the mechanical impact.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the gun, he put away the submachine gun, walked to the corner, unplugged the charging plug of the combat uniform, and put it on. At this moment, the battery of the combat uniform was fully charged, and then he put on a pair of baggy pants outside the combat uniform.
and coat.
Fortunately, Joey used to be fat, and these loose clothes could barely cover up the combat uniform.
At dawn, He Ao had already tested his martial arts practice, but it was obvious that Joey had no martial arts talent, and his talent was even far inferior to Ander's.
The energy that entered Joey's body disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.
Joey is such a person, ordinary, simple and ordinary.
There is no luxurious family background, no amazing talent, just a warm and ordinary home.
This family has been burdened with a thirty-year mortgage, earning a meager salary, and living a simple and difficult life.
This may be just one of the thousands of ordinary families in Chenxi City, but it is everything to Joey.
After paying off the mortgage and all debts and paying for funeral expenses, only 35,000 yuan was left in the parents' compensation. Joey, who was just a student, had no way to continue to pay the property tax on the house and his own living expenses, even if he sold the house left by his parents.
With the house down, he cannot support himself while paying the high tuition fees at a private college, and the value of a community college degree is not as valuable as the high school he is currently attending.
His only option was to give up the opportunity for further study after graduating from high school and go work to support himself.
He has nothing left.
And even at this point, there will be people who use the Hyena Gang to drive him to a dead end just because he went to find out what was behind his parents' death.
Whatever the real reason behind this accident, it should be brought to light.
He Ao raised his head and gently opened the door.
——
Avis Bar
This is just a small bar on the corner of the Avis neighborhood in Aston, and its neon sign is even a little shabby.
At this moment, the morning light shines lazily on the street and on the faces of busy pedestrians.
Occasionally, some gunshots can be heard in the alley.
After nearly two months of melee, the chaos in Aston seems to be coming to an end. It is unknown who will become the new underground ruler of this chaotic area.
Wearing a wide peaked cap, the chubby boy struggled to carry a suitcase and slowly walked to the door of Avis Bar.
The door of the bar was ajar, and the bright and gorgeous lights were not turned on. At the beginning of the day, this place, which was full of lights and feasting at night, was filled with decadence and loneliness.
He Ao slowly pressed the door handle and tried to open the door.
At this time, a tall man in a black suit blocked the gap in the door, preventing He Ao from pushing the door open.
“Closed in the morning.”
The tall man glanced at He Ao and said coldly.
He Ao held up the brim of his peaked cap, looked around, held the box in his arms, and said carefully to the tall man, "I'm here to hand over a task to Mr. Noad."
The bar is open in the evening and the middlemen do business in the morning. This is the rule of most bar middlemen in Aston area.
"Which gang are you from?"
The tall man frowned.
"Hyena gang."
He Ao carefully showed the surface of the box to the man. On the box, there was a hyena skull logo printed on it, which was the emblem of the Hyena Gang.
Hearing the name, the man frowned even more tightly. He stretched out his hand and said, "Just give me the thing."
"No," He Ao quickly hugged the box tightly, "our boss said we must hand it over to Mr. Noad personally."
Upon hearing this, the man was stunned for a moment, glanced at He Ao, then opened the door and walked towards the depths of the bar.
He Ao, on the other hand, cautiously looked around and walked in, sitting at the seat closest to the door of the bar.
It's like a child who comes to a strange place and is at a loss.
After a while, a tall man walked towards He Ao with an old man wearing brown overalls and a big belly.
"Boss, they said it was the Hyena Gang who came to hand over the mission, but it looks like he is a young man. How could those lunatics from the Hyena Gang find a young man to hand over the mission?"
The tall man leaned next to the old man and asked softly.
"Everyone sometimes doesn't understand anything," Noah looked at He Ao, who was shrinking and looking around, his cheeks covered by a peaked cap, smiled, and said to the man beside him, "Of course
, it is quite reasonable for a novice to lose something during delivery."
"But the hyena gang..."
The man hesitated.
"There will be no more Hyena Gang soon," the old man showed a smile and lit a cigar. "Victor will not let these mad dogs go. The Hyena Gang won't last a few days. Do things beautifully. People and things will be gone together. No
Is there no proof?"
"yes."
The man nodded and retreated to one side.
After the man left, the old man slowly walked up to He Ao and said with a kind smile, "Little guy, are you looking for Noah? What are you looking for for him?"
The thick smoke of the cigar spread on He Ao's face. He Ao stretched out his hand to fan the smoke and looked up at the old man, "That's right."
Then he raised the box in his hand with difficulty and said, "They asked me to deliver the goods...what to deliver... corpses or flowers..."
"Corpse flower," the old man smiled, sat opposite He Ao, and looked at the box in He Ao's hand, "Can you let me see what you gave me?"
Although it is indeed unreasonable for a teenager from the Hyena Gang who knows nothing to deliver goods, there are many unreasonable things in the world. This is his Noad base. Unreasonable things can be made reasonable by him.
'sense.
What's more, this box is indeed the box used by the Hyena Gang to store corpse flowers.
"Yes, that's the name." He Ao heard the name of 'Corpse Flower' and nodded in realization. Then he looked at the old man doubtfully, "Why should I show it to you? I have to hand this box to Noah with my own hands.
Sir, then I have to discuss business with him."
"Interesting," Noah took a puff of his cigar and looked at He Ao with interest, "I am Noah, what kind of business do you want to discuss with me?"
"Are you Noah?" He Ao glanced at him suspiciously, "Who can prove it?"
"Everyone here can prove it, and your boss can also prove it."
Noah smiled and waved, and the scattered staff in the bar instantly stood up and looked at He Ao.
"Then... Okay then..." He Ao seemed to be frightened by this momentum, and put the box in his hand on the table tremblingly, and slowly opened it in Noah's sight, "This is what I'm here to do.
Something for Mr. Noad."
Noah gradually saw the whole thing in the box clearly. The entire box was empty except for a trace of water stains. There was nothing visible, only a dark, olive-shaped object lying in the center.
Laser grenade!
Noah trembled in fright and was about to stand up immediately, but the person opposite him moved faster than him.
He Ao held the laser grenade in the box with one hand and pressed Noad's shoulder with the other.
Noah raised his head and saw only the smiling face of the young man.
"Mr. Noad, let's talk business now?"
The young man's hand slowly moved to the grenade latch.
