CHAPTER 29: STRANGER
The old man took the folder, the folder wasn’t binded and when opened there were distinctively a lot less papers than the previous residence booklet had, at least it lacked one third of the thickness of previous booklet. The old man opened the folder and slowly looked at the pages one by one, there was not a slightest expression on his face but he was extremely shocked inside his heart. He had lived there for more than ten years, naturally this information and details were of great significance, and more importantly the beginning pages of the folders were very different. This folder was not based on a household collection of information, but according to age and sex, and at the back there were some marks to indicate who the head of the household was and the number of people living in that household on the first several pages. Just a glance at the beginning of the pages and the information was quite easy to remember. For example, the elderly’s data were annotated, those people who like activities, those who rarely go out and so on. The old man soon finished. There was a silence at the bookstore. The old man gently stroked the folder and in his heart suddenly words and phrases started to emerge: The young deserves to be treated with respect. Suddenly the old man remembered what Zhang Yang said at the beginning. “You told that you can’t stay here for long?” The old man asked. “Yes.” “Why?” “ It’s nothing, I agreed with Liu Biao to guard this alley for twenty days, and it’s been 1 week now, not that long.” “ … Well, why don’t you consider about staying, I think this job should be easier for you?” The old man stared at Zhang Yang’s eyes as if he thoroughly had an idea on what was on Zhang Yang’s mind. “That ….. still not ..” Zhang Yang felt uneasy to say that the money was less. “Oh, the money’s not enough?” The so called mature experienced old man immediately speculated Zhang Yang’s thought from his flashing eyes. “That … Cough …” “Consider it, If you really enter this *** as you are now, and as long as you have this ability, it will be very easy to get to the higher position. I lived here for 17 years and eleven people have changed throughout these years, among which five of them have connected really well with the organization. Zhang Yang suddenly felt a psychological pressure emerging from the old man. “Well, let’s talk about it some more.” Zhang Yang appreciated the kindness of the old man and felt inconvenient to refuse him. “Well, think about it child, remember it is easy to have control with force, but wisdom is what makes you stand out among others. C City is a very small place, here is just the starting point, do you understand?” The old man said in a deep voice. “Yes ah, C City is quite small.” Zhang Yang fully agreed with the old man, “ However, seventh brother …?” “Do you know the seventh brother?” The old man face discolored. “Cough … No ... I just heard about it …” Zhang Yang didn’t think that the old man would react in that way. “Child, let me give you an advice, a very important one. ‘Seventh brother’ such words should stay in your mouth, but must be kept in the heart for good. It is better to not mention the name of some people, it’s easy to get yourself killed.” The old man looked at him with a serious face. “Why can’t I mention it?” Zhang Yang with astonishment. “If the seventh brother stamps a foot, the whole C City will shake to the ground, but did you ever hear someone mentioning his name?” The old man could not help but smile to see Zhang Yang’s expression. “That’s … true …” Zhang Yang grabbed his head. He realized that he’d lived in C City for some years but he never heard of seventh brother, even when he was fooling around with Liu Biao. Inside Liu Biao’s mind Xiao YuanXing was the city’s boss. Obviously, the seventh elder brother is the boss of this ***, people just deliberately avoid talking about this topic. “Hehe, let’s not talk about this topic, I, this old bones also want to live for a few more years. Oh right, why does Liu Biao want you to help?” “He hasn’t found his brother yet.” “Ah … Cough … cough ….” The old man suddenly choked in his tea. “Well, well … oh old man …” The old man hastily backed down as Zhang Yang sat. “300 Yuan a day still cannot satisfy two person ah?” “What? Isn’t there five people?” asked the man. Zhang Yang was stagnant. “Did he tell you there were five?” he asked. The old man was also speechless. “………………” Zhang Yang was silent. He did not need to ask what Liu Biao had in his heart. First, he pulled to the streets with his two little brothers, according to Liu Biao’s style, the street doesn’t need 3 or 5 five people, nor a boss’s opinion. So it was Liu Biao’s own decision to keep two people instead of five. Zhang Yang had estimated that Zhang Yang would at least ask for four people. In fact, the three hundred bucks from the casino, one hundred was for Liu Biao’s living expenses and his salary would be settled at the end of the year. As a matter of fact Liu Biao didn’t know that he was now a real staff of the casino.“Silly brat, no wonder he eats all day.” The old man seemed to understand the situation and couldn’t help but smile. “I wonder how Xiao YuanXing would think if he knew that his staffs just eats all day?” “Do you know Big brother Xiao?” “I do.” The old man said softly. “Gee … ……………” Zhang Yang was just about to ask something about Xiao Yuanxing when three people walked out from the alley’s entrance, tree very special looking people. One was wearing white casual clothes with facial features of that of a rich young man and behind him was two general bodyguards. His age was same to that of Zhang Yang and his strong facial features gave a feeling of a mixed race.The two bodyguards had also some obvious features, a straight black suit, a pair of vigilant eyes patrolling around like both of them were ready to fight a beast, full of dangerous feeling. The young man, though rich and sturdy, he had a sloppy expression in his face, a look of the world’s biggest prodigal son. (# prodigal: carelessly spending a lot of money) “Why are these strangers here?” The old man glanced at the three men, took out his phone and pressed some buttons, it seemed like he was sending out a message. “The look of those men are arrogant, so they should not be the locals, and have never been here, because, I have been here for one week and I have never noticed any visitors with this expression on their face, let alone with bodyguards. Let’s assume that the casino’s general guests are familiar with these strangers and only comes here occasionally, therefore I couldn’t recognize them. But after entering the alley this visitor gazed around in every possible direction, he should have just heard that a a gambling casino exists in this place. The possibility of them being associated to the police is also small. They would not have been so noticeable if that were the case. This process will only make people to enhance one’s vigilance.
