Chapter 37: Sycamore Lane

Wutong Lane is the oldest alley in Tiannan City, there are some buildings in the Republic of China period that are retained here, the most famous is a Tiannan Hall, the gate of the Republic of China period, and enter the door, it is a courtyard house, rockery and fake water, at the mercy of some eight immortal tables, it is a relatively famous restaurant, there are often literary and artistic young people from all walks of life, so, when you enter the alley, you can hear folk songs, which is also a big hobby of literary and artistic youth.

In addition to this Tiannan Hall, this alley is only quiet, and most of the residents who live in it are locals of Tiannan City, and they are not young, but they are all cultural people, and they all maintain a tolerant attitude towards young people gathering in the Tiannan Hall.

There was no parking in Wutong Lane, so Li Sicheng could only park his car in the parking lot 200 meters away.

Walking in the alley, Li Sicheng looked at this quiet road, the street lamps hanging on the wall emitted a dim light, and an indescribable ancient feeling came to his face.

It was already late at night, and there was no longer a singing of folk songs in the Tiannan Hall, Li Sicheng asked: "Boss, there is not even a house number here, where is No. 33?"

Du Feng hugged his head, walked around, and said leisurely: "Walk, you will find out!"

Li Sicheng didn't speak, the two walked through a few courtyards, in front of the Tiannan Hall, Li Sicheng heard the sound of the guzheng, looked into the door with some curiosity, and saw the two palace lamps hanging in front of the door at a glance, and the palace lamps were written with two numbers - '33'.

"Here?"

Du Feng nodded, walked to the door, and knocked lightly.

After a while, a voice came from inside the door: "I'm sorry, our store is closed now!"

"Tell Boss Yang, just say that the distinguished guest is coming!"

The man in the door didn't go to Boss Yang and said, "You are a distinguished guest, and the person next to you may not be." ”

Du Feng glanced at Li Sicheng, and Li Sicheng touched his nose with some embarrassment. Du Feng said to the door: "I will lead him to the door, and I will naturally be responsible for everything." ”

"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll go tell Boss Yang!"

The voice inside the door stopped, and Li Sicheng said to Du Feng, "Boss, what's going on?"

"This Tiannan Hall is the stronghold I told you, I am the person of the shadows, and I said that I was looking for Boss Yang just for work. And this involves the Shadow's permissions, you don't belong to the Shadow, so they'll ask that!"

"But, how do they know that I'm next to you, is there surveillance outside this door? Besides, this is a relatively famous restaurant, wouldn't your base be hidden enough here?"

Du Feng said: "When we entered Wutong Lane, the people inside knew it! Everyone in this restaurant, from the boss to the waiter, actually has another layer of identity, that is, the attached soldiers of the shadow! Therefore, there is no safer and more secret place in Tiannan City than here!"

Li Sicheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with some excitement: "Boss, are we just like in the movie now, well, just like "007", there are special scientific researchers to provide services, such as bulletproof cars that can be driven remotely?"

"Well, so to speak, but we have a much more high-end service here than the spy from 007!"

At this time, the door opened, and there stood a middle-aged man with a smile on his face, and at a glance he knew that he was a businessman.

Du Feng said angrily to the middle-aged man: "Yang Buyong, you are a soldier anyway, why do you have such a face?"

The middle-aged man known as Yang Buyong didn't care, made a gesture of please, and said: "Do a full set of plays, now my identity is a 'native' businessman in Tiannan City, if you don't have such a face, others don't doubt it?"

Yang Buyong explained, led the two of them across the threshold, walked into the courtyard, and then stopped.

The door was closed, Li Sicheng looked back, and two black shadows appeared in the direction of the door, and he could vaguely see the two of them holding assault rifles in their hands.

Yang Buyong asked bluntly, "What does this person next to you mean?"

Du Feng said: "Li Sicheng, you check his background, if there is no problem, transfer him to the shadow." According to the rules, I can have three assistants, so let him enter the organization as an assistant!"

Yang Buyong nodded and said, "Okay, then let him stay here, and I will arrange for someone to take him for an examination and a physical and mental test." According to the rules and regulations, even if you approve someone to become an accomplice, if the physical fitness and mental endurance are not up to standard, then I can only say sorry. And, because he knows our stronghold, if his inspection fails, then you will be held responsible. ”

Du Feng smiled indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter, even if he fails, send him to the South China Sea to defend the island, until this stronghold loses its value, transfers, and then puts it back?"

When Li Sicheng heard this, his cold feathers stood up, if this stronghold has been in place for decades, it doesn't mean that he has to wait for decades on an island in the South China Sea where birds don't. Li Sicheng shouted: "Boss, don't you take me like this?"

Du Feng scratched his head, looked at Li Sicheng, and said coldly: "Li Sicheng, I'm not joking with you, all this is true, I can't joke with the interests of the organization." And since you choose to follow me, then you must face all these tests. So, you'd better pass all the tests, otherwise, I can only say sorry to your father and Vice Minister Sun!"

Being watched by Du Feng like this, Li Sicheng felt a lot of pressure. He asked himself if he was ready to take it all.

"Sicheng, I'm optimistic about you, as long as you show all your potential and give up all your dignity of the rich second generation, you will be able to pass! Whether this road can be passed depends on your perseverance!"

Li Sicheng nodded heavily, his heart was settled, and he said, "Don't worry, boss, I will never let you down!"

"Well, okay, you wait here, and when you're done, come directly to Jumei Biotech to find me!"

"Huh, can't you finish today?"

Yang Buyong interjected at this time: "Please, what you want to join is Shadow, which is the most cutting-edge and powerful combat organization in the entire Huaxia Kingdom, if you can complete the test in one or two hours, then it is too easy, right?" The average time to pass the test is two days and six hours!"

Li Sicheng asked in surprise: "So long, can you hurry up?"

Du Feng said: "Yes, if you were me, you would be able to come and have breakfast with me tomorrow morning!"

Li Sicheng was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Yang Buyong said: "The fastest record to pass the test is Du Feng in front of you, it took six hours and fifty minutes to enter the shadow test, and it is still the test record of the shadow, come on, maybe you can break his record!"

"Okay, let's go!" Du Feng didn't want to waste any more time, so he left Li Sicheng behind, and the two walked towards a small path in the corner.

Li Sicheng stood quietly in the courtyard, looking at the dim scene in front of him, and he was still a little nervous. After two minutes, a person suddenly appeared in front of Li Sicheng, and he said, "Li Sicheng, your background information has been clarified. I would like to make it clear to you that if you pass the test and become a member of the Shadows, you will automatically give up inheriting your father's tens of billions of assets. In other words, once your father passes away in the future, your father's assets will be legally passed on to you, but these assets will be automatically transferred to the organization's account and become the organization's fund because you are a member of the Shadow!

"So, what if I quit the Shadows?"

"Once you enter the shadows, it will be for life, until you retire! The age of retirement is sixty-five, and at this time, the funds you have deposited in the organization will return to you! Of course, if your father has another child during this period, then this child will inherit everything from your father!"

Li Sicheng shrugged his shoulders, feeling that the rules of the shadow were still more humane in his heart. His father worked hard for most of his life to get this family business, and the last thing he wanted to be was a loser, but he didn't want such a big family business to lose in his own hands because he joined the shadows. And this humane rule prevents this from happening.

"Okay, I agree!"

The Dark Shadow nodded and said, "Then please come with me and take the test!"

The black shadow didn't know that he had pressed a switch, and a rockery behind him suddenly moved, quietly, without any sound.

An entrance to the underground appeared in front of Li Sicheng, and the emergency light was on, only illuminating the staircase. Li Sicheng looked at the end of the stairs, and a metal door full of science and technology blocked Li Sicheng's sight!

Walking down with the black shadow, the rockery moved again to cover the entrance. The light in the passage became brighter, and Li Sicheng could finally see the appearance of the black shadow in front of him.

This is a sturdy inch-headed man, Li Sicheng only saw this person's upright side face, and couldn't guess the man's age.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be distracted from me. You will face the most demanding test in the world, and it will completely destroy you, both physically and mentally. You'd better be prepared!"

Li Sicheng is fearless, at least before he sees what this test is like, he will go fishing on the island for the rest of his life with a big deal, so Li Sicheng is still very confident. Li Sicheng asked: "I think, I will become your companion in a few days, can you tell me your name?"

"My code name is 9973, and if you pass the test, I'll treat you to a drink and tell you my real name by the way!"
