The two of them continued boldly. They did not care about the onlookers at all
and as they ate.
âBoss, whatâs the next step of the plan?â While eating, Zhou Liang asked.
âThe embassyâs signal has been cut off. Itâs unlikely weâll be able to get in touch
with them.â
âBut we canât give up,â Lin Yi said.
âAfter dinner, letâs find a place to settle down and see if we can find any communication tools nearby. If we canât contact the embassy, we can contact the country. However, whether we can find any communication tools will depend on our luck.â
The situation overseas was completely different from domestically.
In Huaxia, almost everyone used cell phones, but it was different in the slums. Even tobacco had become a hard currency. It was very difficult to find cell phones or landlines here.
Therefore, they could only try their luck.
âHuh? Boss, hurry up and eat. You still have to work after getting your fill,â
Zhou Liang, who was eating bread, said.
âMy stomach isnât feeling well, 1 wonât eat for now,â Lin Yi said.
âIâm almost done. Iâll be done after finishing this bread.
Zhou Liang ate faster, and Lin Yi packed up his things, ready to leave at any time.
In such a place, it should not be difficult to find a place to take refuge.
âExcuse me!â
Just as the two of them were about to leave after eating, they heard voices coming from the crowd.
He looked up and saw more than ten men walking towards him.
Lin Yi looked up and realized that the people in front of him were all dressed
like hooligans.
However, they were wearing clothes. In the slums, they were considered rich, but their attitude didnât seem so friendly.
When they saw these people, the people who came to watch the smoke subconsciously retreated to the side and distanced themselves.
A dozen people stood in front of Lin Yi.
âHuaxian, who asked you to come here?â
The person who spoke was bald. He was wearing colorful beach pants and a tank top. There was a silver necklace around his neck as he looked down at Lin
Yi.
His name was Basso, and he had great prestige in the slums.
His boss, Maxa, was the boss of the slums.
Although this place was very poor, Maxa controlled more than 70% of the resources in the Cullen District. Anyone who came to the slums would not be able to escape their clutches.
âThis isnât your house. Canât we visit?â
âOf course, but you have to hand over half your supplies before I can let you
stay here.â
Zhou Liang stuffed the last piece of bread in his hand into his mouth and took a sip of water.
âI donât have any money, but I have a life. Do as you see fit.â
Seeing Zhou Liang speak up, Lin Yi smiled and translated for him, giving him the chance to show off.
âYou donât want to give the money?â Baso said sternly.
âIf you cooperate, Iâll only take half of your supplies. If we have to take action, weâll take everything you have!â
âIâll also advise you, donât think you can bully us just because weâre from Huaxia. Weâre all adults here, and youâll have to pay the price for your actions.
Basso looked at Zhou Liang with a cold expression.
âThis place is more chaotic than Huaxia. No law can protect you. If you donât cooperate, what happens next might make you regret your actions.â
âIâve already told you. I donât have any money, but I have a life. However, itâs still very unlikely for you to snatch that from us.â
Basso did not reply. He waved at his subordinates behind him.
âDo it. Take what they have, then drive them out of Cullen. Theyâre not
welcome here.â
Two of Bassoâs subordinates walked out. Their primary target was Zhou Liang.
Zhou Liang did not hesitate. He jumped up and kicked one of them, sending him flying!
Then, he grabbed the other personâs head and kicked him in the face.
The latter screamed and rolled on the ground in pain.
However, Zhou Liang did not let up as he stepped on his neck. He could send him to drink tea with God if he exerted a little force.
Seeing Zhou Liang take down the two of them so easily, Basso and the others subconsciously retreated. They did not expect this Huaxian man in front of them to be so good at fighting.
âNow, are you still going to snatch our things?â
Bassoâs men continued to retreat, putting at least five meters between them.
âLet me tell you, this is Boss Maxaâs territory. If you dare to attack our people, Boss Maxa will not let you off.â
âTake us to him. Iâll see what he can do to me.â
The person who spoke was not Zhou Liang, but Lin Yi.
âDonât worry, even if you donât go willingly, Iâll have someone escort you,â
Basso said.
âThen letâs go, we donât want to cause too much commotion.â
âTake them away.â
Basso waved his hand, and his men positioned themselves behind Lin Yi and Zhou Liang. However, no one made any further moves, preparing to herd the two to face Maxa.
Zhou Liang, a bit puzzled, leaned in and whispered to Lin Yi.
âBoss, do you have a new plan?â
âThe one called Maxa must be the slum lord. If we can meet him and take him down, we can establish a foothold,â Lin Yi surveyed his surroundings and whispered back.
âThen, using his resources, we could contact either the embassy or back home, and we could be saved.â
Hearing Lin Yiâs words, Zhou Liang was enlightened.
He admired Lin Yi from the bottom of his heart. No wonder Boss could become the team leader of Team 1 at such a young age. His brain was much sharper than his.
The slum was built against a hill. One would easily notice that the height of the hill reflected the local residentsâ status.
As one climbs higher up the hill, the houses improve in quality and there were more lights.
From this observation, it was clear that those living at the top of the hill seemed to be in better conditions.
Moreover, most importantly, there was a road built up the hill. Although it was somewhat rugged, driving was not an issue.
At this mountaintop location was a two-story building which was brightly lit inside. Standing outside, one could smell a faint scent of flowers.
Entering the courtyard, Lin Yi looked around.
The courtyard was about half the size of a football field, and it was filled with flowers and plants.
There were also four cars parked in a corner. Three of them were diesel cars with high horsepower, and the last one was a BMW 7 Series.
In a place like Cullen District, you had to be someone special to own such a building and four cars at the same time!
He would be considered rich anywhere in the world.
Lin Yi smiled. It seemed that his guess was right.
What he needed to do next was to think of a way to take down that man called Maxa!
