Chen Mo stood on a somewhat old and dilapidated street, looking at a shop opposite.
The clean glass display windows are in sharp contrast to the dirty streets. Several types of vegetables are neatly placed on the wooden sloping shelves on both sides of the door.
"Chen's store should be here."
Chen Mo glanced at the female homeless person sitting in the corner next to the store and became even more sure of this.
Just when Chen Mo was about to cross the street to take a look, he found Eddie Brock walking over from not far away.
Chen Mo couldn't help but stop and watched Eddie Brock say hello to the female homeless man at the door of the store, then push the door open and walk into the store.
"What a coincidence."
Chen Mo couldn't help but smile, and then walked over.
…
"Hi, Mrs. Chen!"
Pushing open the glass door of the store, Eddie Brock greeted the proprietress familiarly.
Eddie Brock's rented apartment is nearby. This Chen's store has a full range of goods, including snacks, drinks, breakfast, and almost everything. He will come here at least once a day to talk to the store's proprietress, Mrs. Chen.
Very familiar too.
"How's it going, Eddie?"
Mrs. Chen asked while tidying up behind the counter.
"as usual."
Eddie Brock said as he walked towards the shelves inside.
"Yeah?"
Mrs. Chen looked at Eddie Brock and felt that this young man seemed a little different from before, and seemed to be more calm.
Eddie Brock turned to Mrs. Chen and shrugged his shoulders, then walked to the shelf and picked out the food.
He has seen the recent changes in the Life Foundation, and has completely given up the thought of looking for trouble, and devoted all his energy to work and spending time with his girlfriend.
Under Chen Mo's reminders and lessons, Eddie Brock changed his original reckless style and began to dig deeper into news targets and events. The reports in recent days have received a good response, and the boss is also very satisfied. This month's bonus is definitely
Indispensable.
Mrs. Chen shook her head helplessly, and just as she looked away from Eddie Brock, she heard the bell hanging at the door of the store rang again, and a tall and strong figure pushed the door open and walked in.
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but think that the gangsters who often came to extort and rob were here again.
This is a slum area with chaotic security and rampant gangs. Even if she paid a large amount of protection money on time, these greedy guys would still come to extort and rob her from time to time. Most of her small income was taken away by these gangsters.
Go, she is just barely making a living.
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but lament in her heart. It seemed that her hard work these days was in vain. When would this kind of life end?
But when she saw the face of the visitor clearly, she couldn't help but be startled. It turned out that the person who came in was not the gangster she thought, but a handsome Asian young man in a suit.
"Hello, what do you need?"
Mrs. Chen asked in English.
Chen Mo looked at the kind-faced and thin Mrs. Chen behind the counter and said in Chinese with a smile.
"just looking around."
When Mrs. Chen heard what Chen Mo said in Chinese, she couldn't help but show a bit of intimacy on her face. The security in the area she was in was not very good, and there were not many Chinese living there, so she rarely encountered them.
Mrs. Chen was very happy to meet her compatriot Mrs. Chen. The trace of sadness that had arisen in her heart was temporarily forgotten. She smiled and said to Chen Mo in Chinese.
"I haven't seen you before. Did you just move here?"
They were in a slum area, and there weren't many outsiders. The people who came to buy things from her were basically people living in nearby apartments, so she asked this question.
Chen Mo nodded along with her words.
"I just came here a few days ago."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen immediately reminded her kindly.
"Then you must be careful at night and try not to go out after twelve o'clock. The security in this neighborhood is not very good."
"Thanks."
Chen Mo smiled and nodded, walked into the store and started browsing casually.
Eddie Brock also saw Chen Mo, but at this time Chen Mo had returned to his original appearance, so Eddie Brock did not recognize him. He just looked at Chen Mo and looked away.
Just when Chen Mo was looking at the neat shelves and planning to buy something, the sound of the door opening was heard again from the door, followed immediately by a fierce male voice.
"A bottle of whiskey! Don't forget to give me change!"
Chen Mo and Eddie Brock couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the counter after hearing this. They saw a stout man with a beard and a fierce face standing in front of the counter, but even though he was talking about looking for
Zero didn't pay at all, but looked at Mrs. Chen behind the counter with a fierce look. Obviously, he didn't really come to buy anything.
Eddie Brock, who lives here, naturally saw the identity and purpose of this man at a glance. He was a gangster, and he was obviously blackmailing Mrs. Chen.
Chen Mo also knew the identity of this man very well, because he came to blackmail Mrs. Chen several times in the movie, which is why Chen Mo came here this time.
In the movie, in the end, "Venom" swallowed the gangster who came to blackmail again, but now, Venom and other symbiotes are all in Chen Mo's hands, and there will no longer be "Venom" in this world. Eddie Bu
Naturally, Locke couldn't help Mrs. Chen.
Chen Mo didn't want his compatriot to continue to be bullied for his own reasons, so he originally planned to come over to see the situation, then find the gangster and get rid of him, but now he came to his door himself.
It actually saved Chen Mo a lot of effort.
In front of the counter, Mrs. Chen's expression changed immediately when she saw the man. When she heard what the other man said, she said with a begging look on her face.
"Please, this is just a small business."
She really couldn't stand the endless extortion from these gangsters. If this continued, her business would not be able to continue at all.
But obviously this gangster doesn't care about Mrs. Chen's life and death. If this store closes, another one will reopen, allowing him to continue extorting money.
"Snapped!"
The stout man slapped his left hand heavily on the counter, making a loud noise that scared Mrs. Chen and she couldn't help but shrink back.
"Do not talk nonsense!"
As the man spoke, he reached his right hand to his waist, took out a pistol and pointed it at the panicked Mrs. Chen behind the counter.
"Hurry! Otherwise the protection fee will increase!"
Eddie Brock hid behind the shelves and looked at the robbery going on at the counter. His face was full of confusion. He wanted to help, but he knew that if he rushed out now, he would only add another victim to the robbery.
There was no meaning other than that, which made him lower his head dejectedly.
