Chapter Ninety-Four: A Coincidental Encounter with Zeng Cheng
"Where are you going next?"
Zhong Caini held the coffee cup in her left hand and stirred slowly with a small spoon in her right hand. His gaze remained on the tan coffee that was stirred and rotated clockwise in the cup, and looked as smooth as satin due to the addition of a lot of milkshakes, and asked Wu Ming casually.
Wu Ming, who was thoughtful, looked at Zhong Caini, who was concentrating on stirring the coffee in the cup opposite, with a hint of apology in his tone, and asked with a smile: "I should have asked you this, right?"
Zhong Caini didn't say anything for a long time when she heard this, still stirring her cup of coffee unhurriedly. Since seeing Wu Ming, who had not returned all night, that afternoon, and listening to the story that was quite satisfactory in the hotel, Zhong Caini knew that Wu Ming had not told her the truth. Especially in the next few days when the two of them stopped and stopped all the way south, after learning through the TV news that the two dens of the Bien Bien Biker Party were destroyed in Hanoi that night and the early morning of the next day, Zhong Caini was even more sure that it should be the truth that Wu Ming did not return overnight.
"Say, I have seven days left on my vacation, and I'll be with you wherever you go. Only then did Zhong Caini raise her head, and while bringing the coffee cup in her hand to her mouth and taking a sip lightly, she stared at Wu Ming intently. The expression on his face could not be said to be aggrieved or reluctant.
"Don't, don't. I don't have the money to pay you. ”
"Say it. Zhong Caini's face still did not change significantly: "There are more than five million in that card, even if you don't give me the password, I can withdraw as much as I want." ”
"That's life-saving money. Wu Ming deliberately showed an expression of loving money as his life.
"Little family. Zhong Caini took another sip of coffee, turned her head to look at the street scene outside the window and said lightly: "Don't worry, I'm not as black-hearted as you." Let someone accompany you out to do things, not only to pay you for the work, but also to pay such a high price. ”
"Didn't I say I didn't want to?"
"You think you can take it back if you want to take it back?"
Wu Ming was speechless when he said a word, so he had to choose to shut up for the time being, and looked out the window with Zhong Caini's gaze.
Because it was noon, although it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival according to the domestic season, the temperature in southern Vietnam, which is located in the tropics, was still very high, so there were few pedestrians on the street, and there were not many vehicles.
Occasionally, a vendor or two can be seen carrying some seasonal fruit along the shade of the trees on both sides of the street, shouting and drinking. Without exception, regardless of men, women and children, they all wore a big bamboo hat on their heads.
Suddenly, Wu Ming found a familiar figure who didn't wear a hat, and he didn't expect to meet him here. So he stood up and walked out, saying to Zhong Caini as he went, "Stay here and wait for me." ”
Stepping out of the door of the coffee shop, he walked behind the sturdy man who was thinking about his thoughts in three or two steps, Wu Ming raised his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Boss Zeng, this world is really small." ”
Yes, the person Wu Ming accidentally saw was Zeng Cheng, the boss of the largest underworld gang in General City. Although he defeated Zeng Cheng's gang on the Lion Rock in the south of the city of General City last time, because first, he considered that the gunshots would quickly recruit the police, and second, Zeng Cheng was hired by someone, and based on his experience, Wu Ming felt that he probably didn't know the identity of the employer behind him, so he didn't ask him. It's just that he was attacked by Bai Yu again in the prairie, and now after meeting Zeng Cheng by chance, Wu Ming really wanted to talk to him well.
Zeng Cheng, who also didn't expect to see the evil god Wu Ming in this foreign country, was suddenly a spirit. Subconsciously pulled out his feet and wanted to run, but Wu Ming's movements were much faster than him, and he had already grabbed Zeng Cheng's left wrist.
"It is said that there are four joys in life, one of which is to meet old acquaintances in other places. Let's go, Boss Zeng, let's find a place to talk. ”
Zeng Cheng couldn't resist, and was directly dragged back to the café by Wu Ming. Pushing Zeng Cheng into the seat he was sitting in, Wu Ming immediately sat down and blocked the outside.
"Do you know this man?"
"It seems that I heard Zheng Qianjun mention it, is it called Zeng Cheng?"
Wu Ming asked casually, I don't want Zhong Caini to really know Zeng Cheng. So he nodded and said, "Yes, this is the famous Zeng Cheng Zeng Boss in General City." ”
"Angkor, since the last battle of Lion Rock, Zeng Cheng was convinced, and he never stepped into the city again according to the agreement. Now I have to hide in this foreign country, although I occasionally encounter it, it can't be regarded as a breach of contract, right?"
"Nobody says you're in default, I just have a few questions for you. ”
"Angkor wants to know who hired me, right?"
Although Zeng Cheng is more than ten years older than Wu Ming, it seems natural to call him "Angkor".
"yes, I don't like to be watched in the dark. ”
"Angkor is also a Taoist person, so he naturally understands the rules of Taoism. It's not that I'm reluctant to say it, it's that I haven't seen that person at all. ”
"Don't know anything?"
"Just knowing that he was in the General's City, and that he was a young woman. ”
"How do you know?"
"I guess. Since every time she paid money through the bank safe, out of curiosity, I once paid a bank security guard and saw a video of her going to the bank safe to deposit money. Although the person in the video is wearing a mask and sunglasses, both the figure and the posture of walking, as well as the smooth and delicate forehead that can only be seen two fingers wide, are enough to indicate that she is a young woman. ”
Regarding Zeng Cheng's answer, although Zhong Caini frowned disappreciatively, Wu Ming did not show suspicion. Instead, he asked, "Which bank?"
"There is the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, there is the Agricultural Bank of China, there is the Bank of China, one place at a time, and it has never been repeated. ”
"And how did she give you the key to open the safe?"
"Sent to me by courier. It's just that the address and phone number left on the courier are fake. ”
"Listen to you, you've done more than one thing for him?"
"Angkor, that's what I eat this bowl of rice. ”
"The same person who hired you to trouble me and assassinated Yang Yutang?"
"Yes. ”
Hearing this, Zhong Caini couldn't help but interject: "That person doesn't seem to want Wu Ming to get close to me, is that so?"
Wu Ming was not surprised that Zhong Caini could think of this. No matter how you say it, she is a double doctor, or a hacker-level character, and the doubts that she can find, Zhong Caini will definitely find out as long as she pays attention.
"I really don't know. ”
"Okay, then let's talk about Bai Yu. ”
"Bai Yu has been hiding since he assassinated Yang Yutang, and I don't know where he went. ”
"I really don't know?"
"I don't know. ”
"Then tell me, why didn't Bai Yu take a fatal knife when he assassinated Yang Yutang, but instead stabbed him a few times and let him live for a few more days?"
"This is also what the employer has to say. said that Yang Yutang should not be allowed to die immediately, but he could not let Yang Yutang be rescued by the hospital. At that time, I was also very surprised to receive such an order, just to make money, I had to do what people said. ”
"Why are you here?"
"I didn't want to come here, but I just wanted to take a look at the Sino-Vietnamese border, and I just happened to learn that the public security was looking for me, and when I saw that the customs were not strictly guarded, I came with those small traders. Because I didn't know anyone in this country, I wandered all the way down and arrived here before I knew it. ”
"Just you?"
"And a few brothers, who went out to find work. ”
"How dare you make such a living here?" As soon as Zhong Caini spoke, she immediately thought of the biker party that was most likely destroyed by Wu Ming, and immediately glared at Wu Ming.
"Miss Zhong doesn't know, as long as there are people, there will be fighting, and as long as there is fighting, we will not starve to death. ”
"Not going back?"
"Now that the whole country is looking for me, do you dare to go back?"
"You think you'll get away with hiding here?"
"It's a day to hide. ”
Hearing Zeng Cheng's tone, which had the flavor of a hero's fall, Wu Ming couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"I advise you to go back early, it's not like there are no wives and children at home. Besides, unless the state doesn't want to look for you, as long as it wants to look for you, it's useless to hide here. ”
