District 9

The residence that Yan Tao arranged for Qin Yu and others in Ba City was not a hotel or a high-profile apartment, but an ordinary residential building not far from the slums of Ba City.

The room was on two floors, covering an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, but with more than a dozen men living in it, it seemed quite crowded.

Two of Yaoguang's brothers were injured during the interception by Alita's armed forces. Qin Yu's side was forced to reduce its numbers. Not counting Yan Tao and the others, there were only 11 people left.

In the bedroom on the second floor.

Qin Yu looked at the old furniture and equipment in the room, turned to Ye Zixiao and asked, "Look, what is this Brother Yan doing in Ba City?"

Ye Zixiao smiled: "I'm an underground worker."

"Haha, I think so." Qin Yu nodded in agreement: "A person like him should be very reliable in helping to find out information."

Ye Zixiao sat on the bed, lit a cigarette, sighed and said: "I always feel that our pace is slow and the leakage is too fast. It has not been smooth since we got off the plane, so we must be careful when doing it."

"Yeah." Qin Yu responded softly after being stunned for a moment.

While the two were chatting, the door was pushed open and Yan Tao and Qi Lin walked in.

"I bought some food." Brother Yan carried a few food bags and put them on the table and said, "There is a Chinese food place a little far away from here. I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I just brought some food on the way. You guys Deal with it."

"As long as you can eat it." Qin Yu greeted with a smile: "Sit down, sit down, Brother Yan."

Yan Tao bent over and sat on the sofa, and said softly to the three of them: "The news of your arrival must have been leaked, and there are not many Chinese here. You will look very conspicuous when you are wandering around outside, so While you're waiting for the news, try not to go out unless you have nothing to do. It's easy for people to notice if more than a dozen men live in one room."

"Okay." Qin Yu nodded.

"I will deliver the food to you myself. There are usually no police officers coming to check this place. If you hear anyone knocking on the door, be sure not to open it." Yan Tao asked again: "Don't open the curtains easily. Be quieter sometimes.”

"Yeah." Qin Yu nodded again.

Yan Tao lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "I have asked people to inquire about Lu Xiaofeng. It will not take more than two days at most. I will definitely get his letter, unless he is no longer in Ba City."

Ye Zixiao was a little confused when he heard this: "In such a big city, can we be sure to find someone within two days?"

"I already got his message before you guys arrived." Yan Tao explained softly: "He is not a low-key person here. I probably know where he is."

"Oh, that's good." Ye Zixiao felt relieved after hearing this.

"When the news is clear, let's study what to do." After Yan Tao finished his instructions, he said with a smile: "Come on, let's eat."

…

In the evening, around seven o'clock.

On Boulevard Vincennes, in the office building of a private organization's Chinese trade union, Lu Xiaofeng came alone to the third floor and knocked on the door of the vice president's office.

"Enter!"

A man's voice came from inside the house.

Lu Xiaofeng opened the door and walked in with a smile on his face: "Are you busy?"

In the large office, a thirty-six-year-old man sat behind the desk and nodded to Lu Xiaofeng: "Come and sit."

The man who spoke was the brother of the woman named Lu Xiaofeng, named Tang Ming. He had come to District 2 with his family to work hard a long time ago, and together with several local Chinese families, he established a fairly large Chinese trade union. Now they all hold permanent residence rights in the Second District. They are already full-fledged citizens of the European Union, and they enjoy all political voting rights. It can be said that they are thriving.

Lu Xiaofeng sat opposite Tang Ming and said with a smile, "Did Xiaoyu tell you that?"

"Don't panic, this is the EU zone, and the situation is different from yours." Tang Ming hugged his shoulders and said expressionlessly: "You will be fine with me."

"I still don't feel sure about it here. I want to go to District 3..."

"You don't feel safe here, and you feel safe when you go to the third district?" Tang Ming frowned and said, "If I let you stay here well, nothing will happen to you. Look back, when the storm is over, I will take you You work on two projects together, and you’ll take root here in the future.”

"What project?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, stunned.

"It's a good project, prepare to invest some money." Tang Ming said with a smile: "Xiaoyu told me that you have made a lot of money in the Eighth District in the past few years!"

When Lu Xiaofeng heard this, his expression became a little frozen, and his eyes looking at the other party became more complicated.

"I'll talk to you about the project in detail later. The money will come in quickly." Tang Ming added again.

"Haha, okay, okay." Lu Xiaofeng nodded immediately.

…

Late at night, inside the residence.

Qin Yu, who had been struggling for several days, fell on the bed and fell asleep. Brother Xiao was on the bed next to him, looking at his phone for a while. When he felt that the time was almost up, he got up and got out of bed and left quietly.

When he arrived at the living room, Brother Xiao took two thick cotton-padded jackets and two bottles of water, opened the door and left.

The average temperature in the European Union is only a few degrees higher than that in the European Union. You can see white snow everywhere on European-style buildings.

The streets were deserted. Only a few bars with "special entertainment programs" were open. The drunks nearby were shouting and screaming. In the alley on the corner, homeless people were wrapped in thin quilts or clothes and sleeping with their heads covered.

Brother Xiao crossed the street and went to the public parking lot next to the building opposite. He found a seven-seater off-road vehicle and knocked on the window.

"Uh-huh!"

The window was lowered, and Xiaobai stuck his head in and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"

"Are you asleep?" Brother Xiao asked with a smile.

"Well, I chatted with Brother Huang for a while and fell asleep in a daze." Xiaobai rubbed his eyes.

"Okay, you guys go to sleep upstairs, I'll squat in the car." Brother Xiao patted Xiaobai's head.

Dahuang was startled when he heard this: "Fuck, you can't believe me, why do you need me for this?"

"This thing got off to a bad start. We are not familiar with the place here, so we'd better be careful." Brother Xiao said very cautiously: "You can go back to the house and I'll keep an eye on it myself."

If a person works in a certain industry for a long time, he will develop very mysterious intuitions about some things. After Brother Xiao entered the area, he always felt uneasy because they missed it too early and this was their territory, so he acted very cautiously and carefully.

"Let Xiaobai go back, shall I be in the car with you?" Dahuang asked.

"No, you go back and sleep in the living room. Just don't be too dead." Ye Zixiao instructed.

Dahuang thought for a moment: "Okay."

…

Early in the morning, in a villa in a wealthy area of ​​Ba City.

"Dip Lingling!"

The phone rang for a while, and a middle-aged man turned over in bed in a daze and answered the phone: "Hello?"

"What should we do if we find someone?"

"flap!"

The middle-aged man who had disappeared in Nanhu for a long time suddenly sat up: "You've confirmed where he is, right?"

"yes."
