Just as Levi silently memorized the several entrances and exits of the building, while squatting with Fengzi to eat ice cream cones, he was deducing in his mind how to escape after killing people and robbing money, given that Yaoguang’s defense had become extremely tight.
There was a sudden commotion in the middle of the street.
There was a woman in a dance hall who vomited on a well-dressed young man because she was drunk. The young man cursed at her and even started to beat her. Even though the woman was obviously not in a good mood and kept apologizing, he still slapped her to the ground! Then he seemed to be still not satisfied and started to kick the woman's head, cursing as he kicked her.
"You lowly thing! Are you looking for death? What the hell! You're high on drugs and you mess with me!!"
The woman's head was broken and bleeding, and she could only curl up on the ground and be trampled on.
Levi squinted his eyes and saw this scene, but he didn't move and continued to eat the ice cream cone calmly.
Fengzi frowned tightly, she just subconsciously grabbed Levi's arm, without any action, or any intention of asking Levi to go up and help.
Both of them knew very well that this kind of thing happened too many times in every corner of the city, big and small, where anyone with extra vision was sold.
They simply can't manage it, and there's no way they can manage it.
Whether it is Levi or Fengzi, they are both emotional but also have an almost cold rationality.
The crowd around were all standing far away, and when they saw that a murder was about to happen, a young man with messy hair and a lazy temperament suddenly grabbed the man whose eyes were already red with anger.
The man who was pulled away was about to say something harsh when he saw the Tianen Company badge on the young man's chest that had not been taken off.
He immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say, and finally glared fiercely at the woman who was lying on the ground and trembling, then turned around and left.
Not long after, the Glowing Entertainment security guards who were in charge of security on this street carried the woman away and poured water to clean the blood-stained road surface. Soon, the place became as carefree and joyful as before, as if the scene just now had never happened.
Levi and Fengzi were both quietly eating the ice cream cones in their hands. They were like passers-by isolated in this world, looking indifferently at the radiance of peace and happiness on the surface, which was actually hiding filth that was a hundred times more disgusting than the afterglow.
"Hi."
A frivolous and lazy voice sounded.
Levi turned his head and saw the young man who had just prevented the tragedy from happening. He was also holding a similar ice cream cone in his hand and greeted them with a smile.
Fengzi noticed the Tianen Company badge on his chest at a glance. There was no obvious change in her expression, but her body subconsciously leaned towards Levi, and her hand hidden in the shadows tightly grasped Levi's arm.
"I saw you two came to this street but didn't go out to play. I thought you two were interesting and wanted to make friends. My name is Bai Qiulin."
The young man extended his hand to Levi. He looked very friendly, and judging from the fact that he stopped the woman from being hurt, he didn't seem like a bad person.
But Levi smelled a hint of danger from this seemingly ordinary, reclusive young man.
He didn't reach out his hand, but just spoke in a cold voice.
"Sorry, we don't mean to make stranger friends."
"Don't be so cold. In this impetuous and desire-filled society, we don't have to be on guard against the outside world and shrink like a hedgehog all the time."
"How can we become friends just by meeting each other? Why don't we chat for a while? Maybe we can find common ground and become close friends."
"For example, I just recently learned that a big shot who is about to be elected as a senator will propose to expand the number of invitations to enter the White Tower during this year's Glorious Festival. He will use anonymous lottery tickets to invite some Yaoguang people to visit the middle and lower levels of the White Tower to ease the tense emotions of the people due to various emergencies recently."
Levi, who had originally planned to get up with Fengzi and leave without paying any attention to this self-familiar and low EQ person, stopped after hearing his words.
Even Fengzi's hair stood on end.
Levi turned around and looked into the eyes of Bai Qiulin, who was smiling and seemed easy to talk to, but he couldn't see anything in the eyes of this young man.
"So? What do you want to express by telling us this?"
Bai Qiulin stuffed the last bite of the ice cream cone into his mouth. He patted the residue and crumbs on his body and answered Levi's questions casually.
"Nothing, let me just say it. Someone wants to thank you. When the White Tower Prize Tickets are approved, two tickets will be sent to you from the sixth public mailbox in the third row of No. 179, Bailan Street. If you need them, you can pick them up then."
After saying this, he waved to Levi and Fengzi with his back to him as if he had completed a task, then with his hands in his trouser pockets, he staggered into the crowd on the street and disappeared in the dazzling neon lights.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
After watching the others leave, Levi and Fengzi looked at each other.
Feng Zi whispered.
"He is from Tian'en Company, and the badge on his chest is his work badge."
"Does he know you?"
Fengzi frowned and shook her head.
"I've never met him. Logically, no one from the Tianen Sun Branch will help us. The only people I have a relationship with are at the central headquarters."
Levi said thoughtfully.
"Whether he helps or not is secondary. The key is how he found us. I don't know whether he recognized us or not, but he knew we wanted to enter the White Tower, so he obviously recognized you."
Feng Zi had no way of answering this question. She was completely confused and had no idea what this young man who called himself Bai Qiulin meant. She couldn't even tell whether he was a friend or an enemy.
Levi took one last look at the tall building, shook his head and said softly.
"If he wants to capture us, he wouldn't be the only one to show up if he knows our location and identity. Whatever his purpose is, if he's not lying, we now at least have a way to get into the tower."
"Let's go, it's time to go back. There are only a few days left until the festival. Before that, we have to make all the preparations."
