"I believe you are not bad people, so I want to remind you that it is best not to stay outside for too long in this place at night." The boy in the peaked hat said: "This place is definitely more unsafe than you think."
Xu Yun promised him: "Then we will stay at your house tonight."
When this kid was talking, Xu Yun could already feel that there were many eyes staring at them in the darkness. These people surrounded them silently.
Lin Ge was ready to use his fists and kicks, but Xu Yun gave him a look, telling him not to make a big move and just pretend that he didn't notice anything.
After all, this is a neighborhood where Chinese Americans live. Xu Yun doesn't want to do anything to these "compatriots". Even if these people are not good people, Xu Yun still wants to believe that these guys were forced to do so and have fallen into this situation now.
kind of situation.
"Let's go." The boy in the peaked hat smiled: "Don't worry, I won't charge you too much."
When Xu Yun and Lin Ge took Legend and followed the peaked hat to his small shabby house, they realized why this guy said he wouldn't charge them too much money.
No one in this place would be too embarrassed to accept money, right?
A room in a mess, with a shabby double sofa and an 18-inch black and white TV that is an ancient cultural relic in China.
He had no bed, only bedding on the ground. Because the house was on a shady side, and there was only one window with no way to ventilate it, so the whole room seemed extremely cold. To put it bluntly, it was worse than living in the poor northern drifters from China.
's basement.
There could at least be a bed in the basement, and there wasn't even one in this damn place.
"How can you sleep when it's so wet!" When Legend touched the quilt, he immediately frowned in disgust. He looked at the boy in the peaked hat in disbelief: "How did you survive in a place like this?"
The peaked hat has long noticed that Legend is different from the other two: "I'm afraid you are not qualified to ask for conditions from me, right? You are not in a better situation than me now. At least I still have personal freedom."
Xu Yun glanced at the boy in the peaked hat and thought that although this little guy was not very old, he was quite smart and could see things clearly.
"How do you know this guy is not as good as you?" Lin Ge couldn't help but laugh: "He is indeed not as good as you. You still have such a small room of your own and the means of survival that you can earn a living on your own. He can't help but laugh.
Nothing at all."
Legend was scolded directly by Lin Ge and did not dare to express his anger.
"Where are you going to take this guy?" The boy in the peaked hat said, "You don't look like bad people, so... this isn't a kidnapping, right?"
At this point, the boy in the peaked hat shook his head again and continued: "But this guy is wearing all famous brands... He must be a rich man, and he is also a unique rich man with Chinese social style.
I don’t know what’s going on, I can’t hold any more money in my pocket.”
Lin Ge smiled and nodded: "Your analysis is very accurate."
"Let's take shelter at your place for a while today." Xu Yun said to the boy in the peaked hat: "How much does it cost? You can give me a price."
The boy in the peaked hat looked at the legend up and down, and then said to Xu Yun: "Actually, I don't need to charge you money. You have already given me fifty dollars, which is a lot for me... But I don't want this guy here.
It’s so cheap for him.”
Lin Ge glared at Legend: "Hurry up, tell me, take out as much money as you have." Lin Ge said.
Legend had a wry smile on his face: "I don't have a penny on me! You just pulled me down from the third floor! How could I have time to get the money?"
"Then let's take this as the room fee." Xu Yun suddenly grabbed Legend's wrist and took off the watch on his wrist.
"Are you kidding me!" Legend's eyes widened for a moment: "Do you know what kind of watch that is? TAG Heuer Monaco V4! That was my birthday gift last year! I spent 180,000 US dollars! This watch is limited to the world.
One hundred and fifty pieces! The current value must have exceeded 180,000 US dollars!"
"Do you really think I don't understand watches?" Xu Yun glanced at Legend with disdain: "This watch is indeed a limited edition. When it was released, it seemed to be worth 100,000 US dollars, right?"
Legend was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Xu Yun knew luxury goods.
"This belt-driven watch, which can be called a miracle in the industry, is not ordinary. It goes from impossible to possible. The revolutionary transmission belt and ball bearings replace the traditional gears and pinions. I think it is more suitable for those who pursue an adventurous spirit." Xu Yundao
: "Not suitable for you."
Legend feels so sorry!
"Since he wants to stay overnight, he has to pay some amount for the room." Xu Yun handed the watch to the boy in the peaked hat: "I believe you can find a place to sell it at a good price."
The boy in the peaked hat was somewhat flattered and took the watch Xu Yun handed him, and asked cautiously: "Is this watch really worth one hundred thousand US dollars?"
Xu Yun nodded: "Of course, it must be worth at least this amount, or even more. It depends on whether you can find a guy who really understands watches."
One hundred thousand dollars is an astronomical figure for a guy who has been dealing with poverty since he was a child!
In Cap's memory, it seems that he never had more than a hundred dollars in his pocket, and even if he did, it would only be for a short time.
He needs to survive in this place. Most of the time, he has eaten the last meal without the next meal. He has eaten today without tomorrow.
Just like now, if he doesn't meet Xu Yun tonight, he won't be able to earn fifty dollars. Tomorrow he will go to the rescue station to eat food that is difficult to eat. The people who go to receive rescue may even beat him for it.
pause!
If he was unlucky tomorrow and couldn't make money, he would rather go hungry than get beaten for a bite to eat.
Those guys were so cruel that it might take him many days to recover after being beaten.
"I...I don't...can't have it..." The boy in the peaked hat felt his heart skip a beat. It's not that he doesn't want it, he wants it very much. There's no doubt about it!
But he knew that it was worth one hundred thousand dollars. Holding something worth one hundred thousand dollars in a place like this was a big bomb!
Once someone knows that he has something worth one hundred thousand dollars on him, the people here will kill him without hesitation!
Yes, it was so cruel, these people would really kill him without hesitation, and then take away the watch worth 100,000 US dollars...
So the guy in the peaked hat didn't dare to take such a valuable thing, not because he wasn't greedy enough, but because he wasn't bold enough and he was afraid of death.
"Why?" Xu Yundao said.
The boy in the peaked hat didn't know how to explain, he just kept shaking his head.
"I know what you are worried about, but I believe you." Xu Yun smiled slightly and continued: "If you can survive in a place like this, you must have a way to get rid of what you have."
"If it's just something worth a few hundred dollars, I'm sure I can find a way to resell it and make a fortune." The boy in the peaked hat laughed: "Unfortunately, this is not something worth a few hundred dollars, it's a hundred thousand... Hahaha, I dare you.
Guaranteed, ninety-nine percent of the people living in this neighborhood have never seen a hundred thousand dollars in their lives."
"So what." Lin Ge said: "They haven't seen it, but it doesn't mean you can't have it too."
"I want to have it. Believe me, I definitely want to have it. Man, I have never been so eager to have one hundred thousand dollars!" The boy in the peaked hat was a little excited: "You know one hundred thousand dollars can do it?"
What to do? For me, for me...hehehe, there are so many things that I can do!"
He has always emphasized "for him", which shows that he is a smart boy and knows that different people have different ideas when facing the same amount of money.
One hundred thousand dollars may be one week's living expenses for the legend, but for the boy in the peaked hat, this may be his lifelong dream.
In fact, before Xu Yun handed him the watch, he had never expected to have one hundred thousand US dollars in his life!
