In his previous life, Wang Qian did not hesitate to abandon his family and children to escape the cage of the countryside, not returning for ten years.
However, for the rest of his life, he l...
"Alright, since we've come this far, I'll tell you!"
Wu Mingjie hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "That important person's name is Ruan Chengjin."
"Ruan Chengjin?"
A look of admiration rose on Wu Qiu's face. "I've heard of this person. He seems to be a trusted subordinate of Qin Nan, the boss of the old neighborhood."
"You know Ruan Chengjin too?" Wu Mingjie was taken aback.
"I don't know him!"
Wu Qiu shook his head and said dejectedly, "I would like to get to know him, but I've only heard of his reputation and never had the chance to meet him."
"Don't worry, I'll show you what it's like today!"
Wu Mingjie smiled smugly and continued walking forward with Wu Qiu.
But Wu Qiu stopped short of walking, his face filled with unease.
Because suddenly, several young men appeared in front of them.
They were all dressed strangely, had different hairstyles, and looked at them with hostility.
"Brother, this..."
Wu Qiu subconsciously took two steps back and gave Wu Mingjie an inquiring look.
Wu Mingjie was also quite frightened.
But not wanting to lose face in front of Wu Qiu, he forced himself to remain calm and said in a low voice, "Wait for me here!"
Immediately, he steeled himself and stepped forward, saying with a smile, "Brothers, we mean no harm!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and hurriedly stepped forward to offer them to others.
"Who are you?"
One of them took the cigarette and asked in an interrogative tone, "What are you doing here?"
"We've come to find Brother Jin!"
Wu Mingjie said obsequiously, "A friend introduced me here. I heard that Brother Jin is here."
"Brother Jin?"
The group exchanged glances, and one of them asked, "What do you want with Brother Jin?"
"We need him to do us a favor!"
Afraid of being rejected, he hurriedly took out a hundred yuan and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "Brother, please make an exception for me. A friend of mine introduced me to you."
"Oh, that's easy, that's fine!"
Money makes the world go round; once they received the money, their attitudes immediately changed completely.
"Looking for Brother Jin, is that it?"
One of them reached out and patted Wu Mingjie on the shoulder, "Wait here, I'll go tell Brother Jin right away."
"Thank you, brother!" Wu Mingjie bowed and scraped.
But after taking only two steps, the man seemed to remember something and turned back to ask, "By the way, who introduced you?"
“Kong Erde!” Wu Mingjie answered immediately.
"Oh, Erde!"
The man seemed to recognize Kong Erde as well, and the last vestige of his wariness vanished. "Then you wait here, I'll go tell Brother Jin."
As he spoke, the man turned into an alley not far away.
Not long after, they came back.
But a young man in his thirties followed behind him.
He was burly, had tattoos on his hands, a fierce-looking face, and a cigarette dangling from his mouth; he looked very arrogant.
"Brother Jin, this is the person who contacted you!"
Upon approaching, the man hurriedly pointed at Wu Mingjie and said...
"So you're the one who wanted to see me?"
Ruan Chengjin looked Wu Mingjie up and down, then frowned and asked, "Were you introduced by Erde?"
"Yes, I've met Brother Jin!"
Wu Mingjie hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in greeting.
At the same time, he also took out a pack of cigarettes worth ten yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
Ruan Chengjin got straight to the point: "Since you were introduced by Erde, we can consider you friends. As long as you are sincere enough and I can help you, I will definitely help you."
"Then I thank you in advance, Brother Jin!"
Wu Mingjie was overjoyed and hurriedly turned around to Wu Qiu, who was huddled in the corner, and called out, "Xiao Qiu, come and greet Brother Jin!"
"Ah, oh, okay!"
Wu Qiu responded and walked over cautiously, bowing to Ruan Chengjin, "Greetings, Brother Jin!"
"Are you together?" Ruan Chengjin asked.
"Yes, Brother Jin!"
Wu Mingjie nodded repeatedly, "My name is Wu Mingjie, and this is my cousin Wu Qiu. We've come to see you, Brother Jin, mainly because we need your help with something!"
"Tell me, what do you want our help with?"
Ruan Chengjin calmly said, "However, let me make this clear from the start: we don't do everything. You need to tell me what it is first, and then we'll see how sincere you are."
"Don't worry, Brother Jin, we've come with the utmost sincerity!"
As he said this, Wu Mingjie kept giving Wu Qiu meaningful glances.
Wu Qiu understood immediately and hurriedly pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket. "Brother Jin, this is five thousand yuan. As long as you help us with this, this money is our way of showing our respect to you!"
Five thousand?
Ruan Chengjin's eyes lit up.
That's a huge sum of money!
Their usual income comes from taking money to solve problems for people.
But under normal circumstances, the income is also very meager.
In addition, a portion of their earnings had to be handed over to their boss, Qin Nan, leaving them barely able to make ends meet.
This Wu Qiu actually took out five thousand yuan at once.
That's really a lot of sincerity!
"Tell me, what do you need my help with?"
Ruan Chengjin's attitude immediately became more agreeable.
"Brother Jin, we want you to help us kidnap someone!"
Wu Mingjie seemed to have already thought it through, and said eagerly, "To be precise, it's two people!"
"Is it one or two?" Ruan Chengjin pressed.
"There are two!"
Wu Mingjie corrected, "It's a woman and her child!"
"Kidnapping women and children?"
Ruan Chengjin frowned. "Why did you kidnap a woman and a child?"
"I……"
Wu Mingjie's body trembled slightly.
He suddenly realized that Ruan Chengjin's tone seemed somewhat unfriendly.
But then I thought, aren't these people just a bunch of thugs who do all sorts of evil?
As long as the money is right, the other party should be willing to do any heinous thing.
Thinking of this, he braced himself and said, "Brother Jin, it's like this, I have a grudge against a guy, so I want to ask you to kidnap that guy's wife and son to force him to submit to me."
"Get out!"
Ruan Chengjin didn't even ask who it was before berating them: "If you directly asked us to kidnap someone you have a grudge against, maybe I could consider it. But you actually want me to kidnap a woman and her child? Are you even human? Have you lost your conscience? How could you even think of something so outrageous?"
"Ah? Brother Jin, I...I didn't..."
Wu Mingjie was so frightened that he stumbled backward. He wanted to make a reason, but he couldn't find a convincing excuse for a moment.
After all, he had already revealed what he wanted Ruan Chengjin to do.
Even if you deny it now, the other party won't believe you.
However, in addition to his fear, he was also extremely frustrated.
Aren't these scumbags who hang out in the old neighborhood always ruthless and without any bottom line?
When did you become so kind and humane?
If he was like this, Wu Qiu, who followed him, was even more frightened and trembled all over. When he backed away, his pants were wet and steaming.
