1999

The information that Yan Tian asked the detachment police to retrieve from the background was correct, Xue Jintong had indeed brought Wu Jiusheng to Dongguan.

After leaving Pingxiang, they took the Jinlong minibus all the way into the city, and then transferred to a taxi on the way, and finally arrived at the legendary bathing center that Xue Jintong would visit regularly every week. There was a neon signboard on the door, which read "Huanxiyuan" three words.

This is a bathing center run by a clubhouse. From the parking lot, there are burly men guarding the key positions. As soon as you arrive at the front desk, someone will register customer information. If you are not a regular customer, or a regular customer personally recommends you, The lobby manager will only guide people into the private rooms on the first and second floors. The private rooms on the two floors are for open business, and they are all regular massage foot baths. Only those who really have connections can go up to the third floor. superior.There, each guest will get a special room, and there are many other guards at the exit of each floor, ready to deal with guests who visit and make trouble at any time.

Xue Jintong is the so-called regular customer of this store, and besides, he had already made up his mind and came prepared today.

As soon as he entered the store, Wu Jiusheng, who was following him, was clamped by two tall men on the left and one on the right, and his arms were crossed, while the manager Shi Shiran, who had received the call earlier, came out and went to where Xue Jintong was standing. Glanced.

"Isn't this Brother Xue? You came too early today. I heard on the phone that you have to bring a friend this time, just this kid? The old rules, deposit money first, then register, making a living on a small business, sorry No credit."

What he said was not polite, and there were some thorns between the lines. Every time Xue Jintong came, he had to listen to it once.He knew that although he was a regular customer, the people in Huanxiyuanli had always looked down upon him.He comes here diligently, and pays according to the rules, but in the end he is just an assembly line worker, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that he spends most of his income on women. Such a man probably can't have anything big It's not that you can't afford to be offended.

In the past, he chose to swallow his anger, but today is different.

"I came here for consumption, when did I ask you to pay on credit?" He raised his head and walked up to the manager to stare at him, and boldly poked his finger at the neckline of the other's uniform, "Do you fucking like to entertain or not? I have plenty of money, why don't I worry about finding a place to prostitute?"

Hey, this is the sun coming out from the west.The manager raised his eyebrows. Although he looked at Xue Jintong with a bit of contempt, he was more polite.

"That's right, everyone who comes is a guest. No matter what friends you bring, we welcome them. As long as you can afford it, they are all distinguished guests here. But those 'special services' you mentioned earlier , that price..."

When the manager said this, he stopped talking.

Xue Jintong snorted.He has always known that the dog on duty in this store looks down on people, and he is worried that he will not be able to pay the price for his swollen face. After all, before coming here, he has already said hello, and he will prepare the last store on the fifth floor for Wu Jiusheng. A good private room lasts for a week, and it is specifically instructed that during this period, Wu Jiusheng's board and lodging will be in it, and the boss needs to arrange a few guards to watch his actions and not to run out of the store at will.

The manager on duty now also took a closer look at Wu Jiusheng. He was just a young man with no two fleshy bodies. His face was as tender as if he had never eaten meat. For the price tag, they don't mind providing more customization services.If Xue Jintong really came here to play hooligans, they also have some gang forces that have been in contact with each other. Huanxiyuan has always paid the protection fee on time. When the time comes, a phone call, no matter where the renegades go, someone will take care of them instead. Drag hands and feet back to the store.

Xue Jintong naturally understood the other party's thoughts, he sneered, and pulled out a neat stack of banknotes from his pocket.In fact, the money was originally in the bank card, just transfer it, but he still took it out on purpose, just to enjoy the thrill of throwing money in front of people.

The stack of banknotes was not low in weight. They were all brand-new and flat hundred-yuan banknotes, a total of 4 yuan, and the pile was thicker than a Xinhua dictionary.

When the manager saw Qian, the way he looked at Xue Jintong and Wu Jiusheng changed instantly.

How could it be possible for a worker earning dead wages to have this amount of cash in his hand all of a sudden.

"Brother Xue, don't bring any troublesome things to my shop." The manager said with a half-smile.

Xue Jintong, who thought he would be proud after spending the money, was as cold as ice.

"From today onwards, I'm going to change my career to be a businessman," he said while leaning on the counter and raising his voice, "Big business! It's just the money, but it's just a down payment. You have to take care of me. From now on, I'll pay you every month." I can give you the number."

This is the number every month, the manager raised his eyebrows, thinking that Xue Jintong would sell himself?But the slander is the slander, they are in this business, after all, they are easy to talk to when they see money, and Xue Jintong is an old acquaintance again, so he is definitely not engaged in fishing law enforcement. He pondered for a while, then waved and whispered to the waiter in charge of scheduling at the front desk He said, "Call Ah Hui over here."

Ah Hui is one of the ladies with the most senior experience in Huanxiyuan. She is not young, and has been moving between several clubs. Except for herself, no one remembers how many years she has been in the industry, but she is good-looking. With a strong and glamorous temperament, people can't tell the age.

Ah Hui is sensible and winky, so it should be safest to hand Wu Jiusheng over to her.

As for Xue Jintong, he picked a friend he always called by name, and hugged him directly.After finishing these things, he looked at Wu Jiusheng with only malicious speculation left in his eyes, the lady in the bathing/city, who has eighteen martial arts skills, he brought Wu Jiusheng here, one is to hide He hid Wu Jiusheng for a few days to ensure that Si Mao and his actions went smoothly, and secondly, he really wanted to see if the so-called homosexuality was really okay when faced with those girls who depended on flirting for a living. Hold it.

Wu Jiusheng also looked at him. He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xue Jintong.

"Return my ID card to me," he said, "You asked me to send a text message, and I sent it too. I won't run away. Give me my ID card back."

Before coming to Dongguan, Xue Jintong confiscated Wu Jiusheng's ID card on the grounds that he needed to register to buy a bus ticket.Wu Jiusheng knew that he did this because he was afraid that he would run away halfway. Without an ID card, even if he escaped, he would not be able to buy a ticket, which completely restricted his personal freedom.

Since such a calculation was made, Xue Jintong would not honestly return it to him.But Wu Jiusheng didn't just care about this matter. On the way here, he saw Xue Jintong secretly taking pictures of his ID card with his mobile phone several times, and staring nervously at his mobile phone along the way.Xue Jintong's mobile phone received many frequent message reminders, until the last time, after seeing the new news, Xue Jintong's eyes leaked with joy and excitement. After that, he took Wu Jiusheng to the bank and took out the money Come.

Wu Jiusheng instinctively realized that there must be a big problem in some link.

He knew that Xue Jintong was still counting on using him and Hu Da to cash out from him for a long time, so he should not harm him for the time being, but Wu Jiusheng quickly credited everything he could think of within a few hours. After thinking about the channels for such a large amount of cash of 4 yuan, he couldn't help but have the same concerns as the lobby manager just now.

Hu Da was right, they were still too young to understand the dangers of the world, and Wu Jiusheng even believed that compared with himself, Xue Jintong, whose heart and eyes were occupied by vanity, was even less ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth.

Simao's problem has not been resolved in the first place, I hope he will not cause any unexpected troubles.

Wu Jiusheng didn't have time to think about it, so he was pushed into the elevator by the shoulders of the two men beside him.

The room that Xue Jintong arranged for him was on the fifth floor. On the top floor here, surveillance cameras were installed every few steps in the corridor. Each room was divided into an outer room and an inner room. When the ladies received guests, they took the guests to the inner room to do business , when there are no guests, you can only sit in the outer room, and the small space of several square meters in the outer room is displayed on the surveillance camera screen outside each room. Whether the girl in the room is sitting or lying down, you can see TV or anything else, all can be seen through by people patrolling back and forth, and there is no privacy at all.

Wu Jiusheng had never really been to this kind of place, and he had inquired about things here with novelty and yearning. This was his first time. He should have been excited. Seeing the scene in front of him, Not only was there no trace of interest left, but I just felt sad and pitiful for those young girls who sold their bodies.

Waiting at the stairs, the girl with long curly hair who came up to hold his hand as soon as she saw him was Ah Hui.

Ah Hui is older than him, her petite figure is slightly sensual, and the palms that hold him are soft everywhere. Wu Jiusheng followed behind her with a blank expression, and entered a room at the end of the corridor with a purple curtain. In the private room, directly into the inner room.

Ah Hui was originally only wearing a set of see-through pajamas made of cheap chemical fibers embellished with organza. As soon as she entered the room, she took off her outer robe, revealing the small lace bra underneath. hold his arm.

"My name is Ah Hui, what's your name?" she asked.

"Wu Jiusheng." The young man answered her truthfully, "My friends call me Asheng."

Ah Hui smiled at him.

"Ah Sheng. I see, you are still a little brother."

This time Wu Jiusheng didn't answer. He looked at the four walls of the room, and walked to the only window.

"Are there cameras in here, too?" he asked.

"There is no camera inside." Ah Hui replied, "We don't interfere with the actions of the guests. As long as they are guests, they can play whatever they want."

The meaning of that sentence is far more explicit than its literal meaning. Ah Hui obviously wants to please the young man in front of him, because the young man is different from other customers who come to consume, and he doesn't seem to be rushing at all, but rather cold .It is not that there are no guests who have found a lady but are not in a hurry to go to bed. It is just that most of those people have unspeakable special hobbies, and some even pay a lot of money for the pleasure of bullying and abusing them.But although Wu Jiusheng was indifferent, his tone inside and outside the words was very calm and natural, and he didn't deliberately derogate her because of her status. After listening to her answer, he even said "thank you" politely.

Ah Hui had never met such a guest since she entered the business. She looked at the young man with puzzlement in her eyes, but she still stood obediently, waiting for the young man's orders.

Wu Jiusheng opened the curtain and looked downstairs.

The height of the fifth floor is obviously not suitable for escaping through the windows, but even so, for the sake of caution, dense and solid anti-theft nets are installed outside the windows. .After leaving the room, there is video surveillance throughout the process.No wonder Xue Jintong brought him here.

As long as you give enough money, this place is obviously a perfect cage.He's afraid he'll be stuck here until Simao and his gang successfully smuggle the scraps for resale from the factory into the truck.

He only hoped that before that, Huda would have time to make all the preparations and notify the police in time.

He thought of the man who stayed in the small barbecue restaurant in Pingxiang.I thought of the jagged stubble on his chin, and the last time, when the man pinned him to the ground and spanked his ass with a wooden stick.It's kind of funny.

Concerned about chaos, usually a calm and stable look, who would have thought that when he got angry, he would be such a hot-headed barbarian.Thinking of this, Wu Jiusheng's dazed gaze instantly softened.

Ah Hui caught that change, she was surprised, Wu Jiusheng's soft aura was rarely encountered by her in this room.She was about to go forward again and say some teasing words, but the young man suddenly turned his head and called him "Sister Ah Hui".

He said: "Sister Ah Hui, don't be afraid. There are no cameras in this room. They can't see what we are doing. Sit down and let's chat."

Ah Hui was a little dazed.

"Talking about what?" she asked.

"I don't know." Wu Jiusheng pondered for a while and said, "You have a child, tell me about him, how old is he this year?"

Ah Hui didn't expect Wu Jiusheng to bring up this topic suddenly. She was completely stunned, and instinctively obeyed Wu Jiusheng's request and sat down beside the bed. Feeling sour for a while, before the word "yes" was uttered, the urge to cry was already born.

There is indeed a faint line around her abdomen, without scars, but the color is darker than the surrounding skin.On weekdays, she carefully conceals it with her coat. After entering the room and taking off her clothes, she notices that there are quite a few guests there, some of whom don't care, and some of whom will be disgusted for a while. What's going on, those are stretch marks. The old girl who is no longer young in front of her has given birth to a child, but who would care about a young lady's child?

She hesitated.

"Two years old... no, it should be three years old..."

Her shoulders trembled a little, it was ridiculous that she couldn't remember the exact age of her child.After all, she is just an incompetent mother who rarely sees her last time in a year.Although it is her flesh and blood, he can't get love from her, and what he can get is only a few dirty money.And even these stinky money are getting harder and harder to earn now.

Thinking of this, Ah Hui suppressed the emotion in his eyes and took a deep breath.

"If you don't like the one who has had a baby, do you need me to call the foreman and change it for you?" She asked with a smile.

Wu Jiusheng's eyes were a little surprised, he didn't expect that Ah Hui misunderstood him.

"I don't, it's not..." He quickly shook his head, and after a while, he laughed at himself twice. What was he panicking in the few seconds just now? He was still seriously considering whether to let Ah Hui know about him. After all, after being besieged in the factory before, he has understood that the world is not always tolerant of people like him.He originally wanted to make up some random lie to deceive Ah Hui, but after thinking about it, the woman in front of him who sells her body for a living and has no freedom or privacy in her daily life is nothing more than a poor person. I can't bring my own children with me, and it's hard to have a single ounce of sincerity in my daily life, so why should I give her more lies.

Wu Jiusheng smiled, and put down the curtains again.

"I didn't mean that, and I didn't dislike you. I just asked because I suddenly wanted to ask. Don't get me wrong. I am a child without a mother, so I just want to persuade you. If you feel that you have made enough money, you should go earlier." Change careers and go back to accompany the children. Children need maternal love very much."

After persuading him for a while, he was afraid that Ah Hui would feel that he was abrupt and meddling, so he lowered his head in embarrassment.

"If I say something wrong, don't mind. Don't be nervous, I won't touch you, I..." The young man hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "I already have someone."

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Ah Hui recovered from her slight astonishment and asked.That's not unusual at all, not to mention girlfriends, even people who have been married for many years and have both children, there are quite a few people who cheat on their families behind their backs. Men usually struggle a little when they do this for the first time. It's normal, but since they have already made up their minds to walk into such a place, they only need a little guidance from them, and they will probably lose the little bit of guilt in their hearts within a few minutes.

"No." The young man pursed his lips and smiled shyly, "It's just... there is a person who likes to control me. If he finds out that I have done something out of line, he will be arrested and settled. Just yesterday I made him angry, and he spanked me."

Even though Ah Hui was well-trained, his expression still froze when he heard this.

No matter how small the young man in front of him is, he should be an adult at least. If he is so big, he will still be spanked. Who will believe it?

"Actually, it's not as violent as it sounds," the young man interjected again. He mistook Ah Hui's astonishment for panic, and explained specifically, "I was also terrified at the time, and thought it was something particularly terrible. It was only later that I found out that it didn’t hurt at all when I hit my butt with a stick.”

Ah Hui was even more surprised.Her complexion was a little stiff, showing a look of embarrassment, and at the same time, her limbs stretched out her hands uncoordinatedly to lift the hair on her shoulders, blocking her exposed chest.

"Are you serious? Really...just chatting?" she asked.

Only then did Wu Jiusheng realize that Ah Hui's focus had always been this.He scratched his head embarrassingly.

"Isn't it particularly obvious?" He asked carefully, "Actually, I haven't tried doing that kind of thing with a woman before, can you see it?"

Under more surprise, Ah Hui finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Wu Jiusheng's face turned red in an instant.

"Don't laugh at me, sister." He turned his face to the other side unnaturally, "I know it myself, I am ignorant, and I don't understand shit."

"Okay, okay, sister won't laugh at you anymore." Ah Hui covered her mouth and nodded her head, the look she looked at Wu Jiusheng was no longer full of suspicion and vigilance, and became gentle in an instant, just like looking at her younger brother , "You are a good boy, sister doesn't do that kind of thing with you, that kind of thing should be done with someone you like, right?"

Wu Jiusheng instinctively wanted to nod, but he held back.

He thought of Huda, and the unfeeling words he said last night.

He always thought that it was Huda who was stubborn and took things too absolutely, but he didn't expect that it was just that he didn't understand the world.When he was at work this morning, he still thought that Xue Jintong would definitely stand by his side to help deal with Si Mao. As a result, after hearing the clues from the conversation, the first person who blatantly threatened someone was also the one who had always been to him. Take good care of the team leader.Even on the long-distance bus to Dongguan, Wu Jiusheng was thinking that Xue Jintong is from Hunan, and Hu Da is also from Hunan. Even in terms of the friendship of fellow villagers, the other party should have some affection.

Why do I have those naive thoughts?

He has a bright mind, and he can learn everything quickly. He has always claimed to be smart, but since he met Hu Da, when he thinks about it carefully, he always cleans up the mess for him more often.

Wu Jiusheng was a child who lacked the warmth of his family since he was a child. He didn't know what selfless care is from his parents, but he also knew that in this world, except for the one who gave birth to you and raised you, no one else has any obligation. dedication.

Huda had done a good enough job, why blame him for the years that were out of his own? It wasn't his fault.I don't know how he is doing now, will he be worried before I go back...

After thinking about this, the young man's expression became very disappointed again.

Seeing Ah Hui, she felt inexplicably distressed.

"Are you hungry?" She asked Wu Jiusheng, "I'll call the noodle shop and order a takeaway for you, okay?"

After she finished speaking, she took out a plastic-sealed paper list from the drawer of the bedside table and handed it to Wu Jiusheng. BBQ supper, all included.

"Look first, what do you like to eat, what flavor do you like, just write it down and tell me. When I go to the cafeteria for dinner at night, I will take care of the cooking master and ask him to deliver it at a fixed point every day. The consumption is It’s included in the room rate, no extra money is charged, and the room rate has already been paid by the person who came with you. If you don’t want to eat for free, don’t eat it. The boss here has a very bad taste, and the chef he hired is very good. "

Ah Hui spoke sincerely, but Wu Jiusheng understood the main point of her words.

"Someone here told you that I can't leave this room from the beginning to the end, right?"

After Wu Jiusheng asked that sentence, he saw that Ah Hui was a little embarrassed, but the thinly dressed woman didn't make up her mind to lie to him in the end, made an exception and gave him an affirmative answer without reservation.

"Yes," she replied, "except for eating and sleeping, they told me not to let you do anything."
