Chapter 11: A New Stronghold

"Mr. Bai, everything has been delivered to you, please sign here." The eldest brother of the moving company handed a work order from Zou Baba to Bai Jin.

The dark-skinned middle-aged man in front of him was panting heavily, and he found that Bai Yao was looking at himself, and he was embarrassed to show his honest back molars.

is quick and refreshing, and there is no heart at first glance. Bai Jin has a good impression of the middle-aged man in front of him who is about 50 years old.

Bai Jin picked up the pen and scribbled his name. The movers carefully folded the work orders and put them in their pockets, while reminding their partners to put things away so as not to break them.

Bai Jin handed a bottle of mineral water to the moving brother, the eldest brother smiled, waved his hand, took out a pack of soft box cigarettes from his pocket, and handed one to Bai Jin.

"I won't." Bai Yao pushed the cigarette back.

"Then it doesn't matter if I smoke one, right?" The eldest brother looked at Bai Yao and asked for his consent.

"Feel free to do so, you'll have to clean it up in a while anyway."

The eldest brother smiled and lit the cigarette that had been squeezed.

"Mr. Bai is not a local, is he?"

"Yes, but I've been here for five or six years. Why do you ask? ”

The eldest brother smiled embarrassedly: "It's not a special thing, it's just that we locals don't usually live here." ”

"Won't live here?" Bai Yao couldn't help but be curious, "Is there anything to say?" ”

"Young people may not know, if there are elders in your family, you should have heard of it, there was a big case in Hedao more than ten years ago, which was deeply involved, and it shocked the above, you know?" The eldest brother pointed up with one finger and said mysteriously.

"You mean...... That smuggling case? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! So you've heard of it? That's easy to do. At that time, in order to investigate the case, you don't know how many investigation teams sent down by the central government, all of which returned in vain, and finally a young man came and hit the inside of the smuggling syndicate, and lay in ambush for 3 years before he got the evidence and cracked the case. ”

"I have seen this statement on the Internet, saying that the young man helped the boss block bullets to gain the trust of the other party, and finally got a lot of evidence." Although Bai Yao didn't believe in this kind of rumors, he couldn't help but continue his words when he saw the eldest brother's eyebrows fluttering.

"Those people on the Internet are so exaggerated that they can only listen to half and believe half of them. Blocking the bullet is fake, but this young man is indeed a person, and he still lives in Hedao. Speaking of this, the moving brother showed a smug look.

"Really?" Bai Jin felt like he was being praised in cross talk.

"Then there can be a fake, this person is now in the Hedao Criminal Police Team. But he's not a young man anymore, and he has to be in his forties to calculate his age, right? Call...... What's it called? The eldest brother tilted his head and tried to remember, but he didn't remember the man's full name until the end.

"But what does this have to do with the house I live in?"

"You see that I talked about it wrongly, and after the smuggling group was dug up, everyone found out that on the surface this was a smuggling case, but in fact it involved all the industrial chains of Hedao. After the collapse of the group, the people under it split into several small groups, and the crackdown in the past two years has been almost done, but there are still two relatively large ones, one is called Qingyu and the other is called Hongxing, which are still active. That one was on the news before, and Hedao Apartment knows, right? That is the industry of Qingyu Group. ”

"This is the first time I've heard of it!"

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, not to mention you outsiders, local young people, and not many people know about it. In this place now, there is another name for the people, called Hongxing Village, guess why it is called Hongxing Village? ”

"I see, but I heard before I came here that the security here is good."

"Although Qingyu and Hongxing are a family from the source, almost all of the gangsters who were originally attached to the group were taken over by Qingyu, and then controlled the nightclub, clubhouse, and bathing center; Red Star has completely taken over the import and export business. That's it...... You know that, right? They are now two completely different organizations. ”

"Since there are no security issues, it's okay to live here, right?"

"You're not wrong to think so, but there's a bit of an evil sect here in Red Star Village. Most of the tenants who live here do not live for a long time, and most of them will eventually change their temperament and embark on a crooked path. Last year, there was a college student who lived here just after graduation, and I was the one who helped him carry his luggage from the school, good guy! The certificate alone was packed in a box. Finally you know how he is? Caught last month! I heard that it sells this. The moving brother pressed one nostril and made an inhalation motion, "That's a head-killing thing, dare to do it!" Do you say that the evil door is not an evil door? ”

"It's weird, but it doesn't prove anything."

At this time, the partner of the moving brother finally put all the goods away, and the eldest brother and Bai Yao exchanged a few words and left.

After the people from the moving company left, Bai Yao repeatedly pondered the conversation just now, although he said that he didn't care, but he beat a drum in his heart, if the words of the moving brother were true, there must be something wrong with this place. Although I don't know what the reason is, I chose such a foothold, and I can't really sign it. It's just that I just moved over, and if I move again because of some rumors, it will inevitably be a bit of a fuss, in case it is just groundless, it will attract unnecessary attention.

What looked like a picture frame was casually thrown on the floor, and the gray sheets wrapped it tightly, and even after the bumps along the way, it didn't look scattered in the slightest. Bai Yao picked it up and put it on the bed, and the moment he opened the package, a poplar board full of ink emerged from it. It is an ancient Renaissance painting, and it can even be said to be one of the most valuable works of art in the world.

"The trouble is this guy...... "Until we find a way to neither damage the famous painting nor put ourselves in danger, we can only put it by our side for the time being." Ironically, this is precisely the behavior that is most likely to put oneself in crisis, and in the process of just moving, the famous painting has also been more or less damaged.

"Anyway, let's hide it first." It is for this reason that Bai Yao rented this apartment with a storage room.

Not only that, but considering that there was a possibility that unpredictable things might happen that would cause the contents to be discovered, he also bought several copies of famous Renaissance paintings on the Internet, and because of Bai Yao's previous occupation, once discovered, he could use the previous company's samples to prevaricate the past.

"I remember the other paintings were in this box." He found a copy of the painting purchased online from a large number of cardboard boxes.

From a professional point of view, the quality of these reproductions is not good, and compared to the products that Bai Yao used to export, these things are not even defective, and can only be called garbage at best.

Fortunately, Bai Yao didn't have any friends to invite to his home in Hedao, and these preparations were mainly to guard against Zhao Chenji's sudden attack, and with his off-line character, it was indeed impossible to predict what he would do. Although these online purchased replicas can't fool experts, if they are only for ordinary people, they are actually overly cautious.

After locking the famous painting into the storage room completely, Bai Yao breathed a sigh of relief, as if a big stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

As soon as I sat down, the phone rang, and the caller ID was Zhao Chenji.

"I'm really afraid of something." Bai Yao kneaded his temples while pressing the lift button.

"Hey, buddy, I'm sorry, I just happened to have a client, and I can't go over and help you. How are you now? Are you all done? ”

"Don't bother, I don't have much to ......"

"Okay, so let's do it, I'll invite you to dinner in the evening to celebrate your housewarming."

"Don't be so grand......"

"Okay, or I'll buy some food for you, and let's have a drink at home?"

"No, I just moved here, I'm ......"

"Hahaha, just kidding. Then I'll pick you up at six o'clock, I know of a newly opened store, and I heard that it's not bad. Ah, the company is here again, just like that, hang up first. ”

"Doodoo ......"

Bai Jin is a cold person, and there are few things that can make him emotionally fluctuating until he answers the call.

Bai Yao said: "Grass! ”
