It is not difficult to find the Heilongjiang in Harbin Lake County, Heilongjiang Province.

It is like an ugly scar attached to the body of the town, harboring filth and dirt, yet stubbornly growing.

Lin Jianxue was wearing that gray thin jacket and carrying a washed-out canvas bag, walking calmly on the muddy and bumpy streets.

The air was filled with a complex smell of cheap tobacco, sweat, and various unknown foods.

She asked around a bit, and someone vaguely pointed her towards a more secluded and narrow alley at the edge of town.

At the entrance of the alley, a few idle young men were gathered together, puffing away cigarettes.

Their gazes were like sticky flies, brushing over Lin Jianxue with undisguised scrutiny and a hint of frivolity.

Lin Jianxue walked straight into the depths of the alley without looking around.

The sunlight was fragmented by the low adobe houses on both sides and sprinkled sparsely on the ground.

At the end of the alley, the view suddenly became clearer. A few figures were leaning crookedly against the wall, enjoying the rare warm sunshine in spring.

From the moment she stepped into the underworld, the news about a "young and beautiful female educated youth" who was asking around for "Yan Ge" had spread like wildfire among these local tyrants.

At this moment, a man with a short flat head was leaning close to the ear of a young man who was reclining on a worn recliner and reporting in a low voice.

"Boss, there's a beautiful young woman asking about you in the dark!"

The guy with the flat head sounded a little excited, as if he was presenting a treasure.

"I heard it's very beautiful, even more beautiful than the flower in the supply and marketing department..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly turned around and saw Lin Jianxue walking towards him slowly.

“It’s…it’s her!”

The guy with the flat head was startled, his voice became a little distorted, and his fingers pointed at Lin Jianxue with trembling hands.

Be good!

This female educated youth is so brave!

How dare you come here alone!

Several hooligans who were lazily basking in the sun also straightened up and stared at the uninvited guest with unfriendly eyes.

The young man called "Boss" was none other than Jiang Yan.

He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and looked much younger than the prison photos on TV, but the rebelliousness and cruelty between his eyebrows and eyes had already begun to take shape.

He was wearing a well-worn black shirt with the sleeves casually rolled up to his forearms, revealing a piece of strong skin.

A cheap cigarette was held between his fingers, and smoke was curling around it.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, supported his cheeks, and his gaze fell on Lin Jianxue from the direction of the little flat-headed man's finger.

The female educated youth in front of me was dressed simply, but her beautiful and elegant appearance could not be concealed.

Especially a pair of eyes, clear and bright, looking at him quietly at this moment.

When her eyes met his, her beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with a very bright light.

As if...she had already recognized him.

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lin Jianxue had already walked in front of him and stopped.

She had a faint smile on her face, gentle but not timid.

"Hello."

Her voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of a mountain spring.

"My name is Lin Jianxue, an educated youth who came here to work in the countryside not long ago."

"I want to ask you a favor."

She paused and added, "Don't worry, I'll pay you."

Jiang Yan looked at her. It was the first time he saw a female educated youth dare to approach him so openly.

On ordinary days, the little girls and young wives in the town would lower their heads and walk around him when they saw him, as if they had seen the King of Hell who was coming to take their lives.

This female educated youth is quite good.

Not only was she not afraid of him, but her eyes were sparkling with an indescribable... eagerness?

It feels weird.

Is this woman abnormal?

A trace of doubt flashed through Jiang Yan's mind.

However, there is no reason not to eat the meat that is served to you.

Especially when the money is delivered to your door.

If you don't make money, you're a bastard.

Jiang Yan took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke, the smoke blurring the look in his eyes.

He spoke lazily in a nonchalant tone.

"How much?"

He didn't even ask what the favor was.

It was as if he was saying that as long as the money was enough, he would dare to take on murder and arson.

Lin Jianxue met Jiang Yan's clear and cool gaze, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

She stretched out a slender finger and tapped it lightly.

"Ten great unity."

"Help me beat up someone."

"By the way, I'll be your bodyguard for another half a month."

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally lazy atmosphere in the alley froze instantly.

The gangsters widened their eyes and looked at each other, almost thinking they had heard it wrong.

Ten great unity!

One hundred dollars!

Be good!

This female educated youth is so arrogant!

You know, this so-called "black street" of theirs is not open every day.

It's good enough if it can be opened once every three days.

When you are lucky, there are many people selling things on the street, and you can collect seven or eight yuan or eight or nine yuan in protection fees.
