Zhao Xiaolong fell to the ground, the severe pain making him tremble all over.

The sirens outside were getting closer.

Outside the courtyard gate, a thin head suddenly popped out.

It turned out to be a hemp pole!

Seeing that there was no one else in the yard, Ma Gan waved his hand, and soon three figures ran into the yard quickly.

It was none other than Ma Gan, Po Ku Zi and Tian Yu.

In the hand of the man in torn pants, he was holding an electric speaker with a recording function.

The shrill siren sound came from this electric loudspeaker.

"Close it, close it quickly." Ma Gan urged.

Ripped Pants quickly turned off the horn.

"How are you, Xiaolong?"

Seeing Zhao Xiaolong lying on the ground with one hand pierced by a dagger and blood spurting out, Ma Gan asked anxiously.

"These guys are too cruel!"

"Liu Li, you bastard!"

"Stop talking now, send him to the hospital!"

Tian Yu hurried to help Zhao Xiaolong.

Ripped Pants' face was filled with anger, and he pulled Tian Yu away: "Get out of here! If you hadn't tipped off Liu Li, how could Xiaolong have become like this?"

The words of Ripped Pants deeply hurt Tian Yu, but he was unable to refute.

Broken Pants was right. If he hadn't told Liu Li about this place, Zhao Xiaolong wouldn't have been ambushed.

Tian Yu felt deeply guilty.

Zhao Xiaolong was supported up by a straw and torn pants, his facial features distorted by the severe pain.

"Don't blame Tian Yu. I was careless. I thought Liu Li wouldn't do anything to me. I didn't expect those people to be so cruel." Zhao Xiaolong said with difficulty.

Zhao Xiaolong was indeed careless and had too little experience in this area. He only thought about what would happen to Liu Li, but he did not expect that the people behind Liu Li would actually attack him.

"Fortunately, Ma Gan is smart. We borrowed this electric horn out of concern that something might happen to you. We didn't expect it would come in handy." said Ripped Pants.

"Stop talking for now. Let's go quickly. Don't let those people come back later. We'll take you to the hospital first."

Zhao Xiaolong was supported by the straw and torn pants, and several people quickly retreated back the way they came.

Liu Li ran after Erlong and the others, out of the woods and onto the road outside.

Seeing Erlong and the others getting into the somewhat shabby van, before Liu Li could get close, the car shot out like an arrow.

No waiting for him at all.

Liu Li knew he was abandoned.

The sirens behind me had stopped, which meant that the police had arrived at the scene and were most likely chasing me not far behind.

Liu Li didn't dare to stay. He chose a direction where there were more people and ran away again.

-

Binjiang City, in front of the museum.

After some negotiation, Lu Ye and Brother Kai agreed on the time and place of the transaction.

A few more minutes later.

Lu Ye left the museum empty-handed, but there was an extra three hundred yuan bill in his pocket.

He left the bag of cigarettes to Brother Kai.

The other party was also generous and forced three hundred yuan on him.

That bag of cigarettes would definitely not be worth three hundred yuan if sold at the normal purchase price.

But if Scar Kai and his team retail it, the price will definitely be higher than three hundred.

In the end, Scar Kai didn't suffer any loss, and he could also leave a good impression of being an open-minded person on Lu Ye.

Leave the museum.

Lu Ye followed the route he remembered and took the bus to the No. 1 Department Store, the largest department store in Binjiang City.

This store, which was built two years before the founding of the People's Republic of China, has a very famous title: the No. 1 state-owned department store in the country.

Here, goods from almost all over the country are gathered together, with a wide variety and complete range of products.

It is such a large commercial building that there are huge numbers of people coming here every day.

In this age where money is measured in cents, the annual turnover of this No. 1 store can reach tens of millions.

At its peak, it was a shopping mall that accounted for 80% of the city's total state-owned goods retail sales, which was absolutely terrifying.

There is also a large parking lot in front of the shopping mall.

In this era when there are far fewer cars than bicycles, the fact that they can think of building supporting facilities such as parking lots shows how advanced the design of the shopping mall is.

Lu Ye followed the crowd into the market. The unprecedented bustling scene made Lu Ye feel as if he was in another time and space.

The women here dress very avant-garde, and there are young women everywhere wearing dresses of novel styles and bright colors.

Their hair is no longer restricted to long and thick braids.

Some wore shawls, some women had short hair, and Lu Ye could even see two with long curly hair.

This city is known as the romantic capital of the East, and there is a reason for that.

When Lu Ye walked into the mall, the figures of Su Mengyao and Li Mingzhu appeared in his mind.

It was a rare opportunity to come here, so Lu Ye prepared a gift for each of the two girls.

Li Mingzhu was a poor girl who had never worn or eaten good food.

Lu Ye walked into the women's clothing area and, based on his own vision and according to Li Mingzhu's figure, he picked out a very beautiful 'bragi' dress and a pair of black calfskin shoes for her.

After that, Lu Ye walked around for a long time and finally chose a nice-looking women's watch in the watch area.

Although it cost Lu Ye nearly two hundred yuan, he felt it was worth it.

Su Mengyao is about to enter university, and having a watch will make her daily routine more convenient.

This can be considered as Lu Ye’s gift to Su Mengyao for going to college.

After buying things, Lu Ye ate a meal in time, then rushed to the train station and took the train that evening to return to Hua County.

It was already 2 a.m. when Lu Ye arrived in Hua County.

The bus had stopped running long ago, so Lu Ye could only walk back.

Under the bright moonlight, Lu Ye carried a light bag and walked faster than ever.

Although this era cannot be said to be very chaotic, the crime rate is still quite high.

Especially at night, there are many people who come out to rob for various reasons.

Those who hang out at night are either drunk or out of their minds.

Lu Ye returned to the rental house safely.

The yard was silent and the house was pitch black.

Lu Ye took out the key, opened the gate, and walked in.

Coming to the window, Lu Ye knocked gently a few times: "Eggplant, I'm back, open the door quickly."

Lu Ye was worried about scaring the sleeping Li Mingzhu, so he didn't speak very loudly.

But the next second, the flashlight beam immediately lit up in the room.

"Brother Lu, I'll open the door for you."

Li Mingzhu's voice was clear and loud, with a hint of joy, without any trace of the drowsiness of just waking up from sleep.

Kaka...

After a few knocks, the locked door was opened by Li Mingzhu from the inside.

"Brother Lu, please come in quickly."

Li Mingzhu was in such a hurry to open the door that she didn't even turn on the light and put her slippers on inside out.

Lu Ye entered the house.

"Why are you still awake so late?"

Li Mingzhu smiled and said, "Brother Lu, are you hungry? I left some food for you. Wait a minute, I'll heat it up and you can eat it soon."

She wasn't sleeping, of course she was waiting for Lu Ye.
