This guy's pleas for mercy left us completely dumbfounded.

We haven't even started fighting yet, why are you begging for mercy?

Fei Lichao grabbed his dirty clothes and threw them into a corner.

The guy's butt hurt terribly from the fall, and he was yelling in pain.

"Who the hell are you? Why were you staring at us like that?!" Fei Lichao shouted angrily, scaring the other person into silence.

I looked at the skinny man, who was dressed in rags and covered in dirt, and stopped Fei Lichao. I squatted down and asked, "Don't be afraid, we won't kill you."

The thin man huddled in the corner, still looking at us in terror, his eyes filled with despair and doubt.

I wonder what kind of trauma this guy has suffered.

I softened my tone and said, "Calm down first. I just heard you say that you stole something from someone else and that you would never come here again. What did you mean by that?"

Upon hearing this, the despair in the thin man's eyes vanished, and he asked in surprise, "You're not those people?"

"What about those people?" I asked.

The thin man was about to speak, but then shook his head, muttering, "I can't say, I can't say! If I do, you'll definitely kill me! You've come for them, I can't tell!"

I frowned. Fei Lichao, who was standing next to me, seemed to want to make a move, but was stopped by Sister Jing.

This thin man had clearly suffered a great shock, and his previous words indicated that there must be people living here!

I took a chocolate bar out of my backpack, waved it in front of him, and said, "Hey, do you know what this is?"

When the skinny man saw the chocolate bar in my hand, his throat moved, and I could clearly hear him swallow. His eyes were filled with an intense longing.

I said, "If you want it, answer my questions. If you satisfy me, I can give you more food, understand?"

The thin man nodded hurriedly.

I said, "Tell me your name first."

The thin man said, "Yang Jian."

I nodded, smiled, and tossed him the chocolate bar in my hand. "Okay, Yang Jian, this is yours, take it."

Yang Jian picked it up decisively, opened it, took a bite, and swallowed it after only a couple of chews.

I took a small bread roll in a plastic package from my backpack and asked, "Next is the second question. If you answer it, you can have this bread roll."

Yang Jian munched on a chocolate bar and nodded eagerly.

I asked, "What did you mean by what you said before? Did you steal things here? Does someone live here?"

Yang Jian swallowed the chocolate in his mouth, glanced at a building to the south, and knew that it was a five-star hotel.

He said, "There are people living in that residential area just south of this hotel."

I asked, "Can you tell me who they are? Do you know them?"

Yang Jian stared at the bread in my hand without saying a word.

I chuckled and handed him the bread. He took it and shook his head, saying, "I don't know them. I don't know who they are either. Anyway, they're not from that neighborhood. It seems like they came from somewhere else. They thought it was safe over there, so they stayed there."

"From somewhere else"—this statement made me think deeply.

I nodded, then took a bottle of water out of my backpack and asked, "Besides them, are there any other people living here?"

Yang Jian looked at me and said, "That's all, but, but..."

"But what?"

Yang Jian looked up at me and said, "But I remember that someone lives near the municipal government, and the municipal government seems to come here about once every two weeks."

"People from the city government are here? Are they looking for someone from here?"

Yang Jian nodded.

Jing and I exchanged a glance.

At this moment, Zhang Zhihao and the others ran out of the alley. Fang Lin looked at us and said irritably, "You can't even explain the location clearly. Are your mouths just for show? We've been looking for you for so long."

We ignored him.

Zhang Zhihao asked, "Brother Lu, what's going on?"

I said, "I just ran into a homeless person, nothing serious."

Zhang Zhihao glanced at the thin man huddled in the corner.

I took some food out of my backpack and then asked, "You've told us everything you know, so all of this is yours."

The thin man was excited to see so much food and quickly nodded, saying, "I... actually, I heard a name when I was stealing things in that neighborhood before. I think the name was something like Sun Chao..."

I frowned and asked, "Is his name Sun Shichao?"

The thin man nodded and said, "Yes, yes, his name is Sun Shichao. He seems to be from the municipal government. He always brings people over from the municipal government."

"Anything else? What else do you know?"

The thin man shook his head: "I don't know anything else. Oh, right, it seems the city government people are coming tomorrow. They come every two weeks, so tomorrow marks the two-week mark. That's all I know. Are you really going to give me all this stuff?"

I nodded. "They're all for you, take them."

"Sun Shichao, is that Lu Ding's nephew?" Sister Jing asked.

I said, "It should be him. Zhou Liang left me a note saying that he would definitely be in Wutong City. Sun Shichao and the others must have gone to Wutong City with Zhou Liang."

"I hope it's him," Sister Jing said.

I glanced at Yang Jian, who was excitedly holding the food. I wondered if I was lucky or not, to have met such a person and learned so much about him so soon after arriving here.
