Chapter 263 Huaqiangbei, a Place Full of Scammers



Seeing that Veronica Yip was really boring, Lin Yifeng tossed her a book he had bought before boarding the train so she could read it to pass the time.

Lin Yifeng had thought this through very carefully before making this trip.

Keep a low profile if possible, and avoid causing trouble if possible.

Going to Huaqiangbei was also a quick and decisive affair.

He wanted to resolve these matters as soon as possible so he could return to Muye and prepare for the opening of Pang Donglai.

Seeing that Lin Yifeng wasn't involving her in any trouble, Ye Yuqing felt a little disappointed and started reading.

After a three-day, two-night train journey, Lin Yifeng and his companion finally arrived in Shenzhen that afternoon.

In late October, the weather in Shenzhen was still extremely hot.

Even before exiting the ticket gates of the train station, one could already faintly hear people hawking chilled mung bean soup, chilled tofu pudding, and other similar items on the street.

"Let's find a place to rest today and take care of our business tomorrow."

Lin Yifeng slung his backpack across his chest and walked while giving instructions to Ye Yuqing beside him.

"Be careful when you exit the station."

"There are a lot of pickpockets here."

"you……"

Before Lin Yifeng could even finish speaking, a man's scream came from behind him before he had even stepped out of the station.

When Lin Yifeng turned around, he saw Ye Yuqing had already twisted the man's fingers and kicked him to the ground.

People around stopped in their tracks, staring at Ye Yuqing in horror.

Even the ticket inspectors at the entrance and the armed police stationed at the train station were startled.

Ye Yuqing looked at Lin Yifeng with a cold expression.

"His hands are dirty."

At this point, the ticket inspector and the armed police realized what was happening. The ticket inspector immediately contacted the man in the hat who was nearby, and the armed police rushed into the station to help resolve the situation.

Some of the terrified people only realized what was happening after a while, and soon the area around the station was filled with shouts.

"Hey! My bracelet?"

"My watch is gone too!"

"My wallet!"

As a crowd surged forward, Lin Yifeng quickly grabbed Ye Yuqing's hand and led her away from there.

After walking a certain distance, Lin Yifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if, in a moment, the man turned around and accused Ye Yuqing, and Uncle Hat dragged Ye Yuqing to make a statement and searched her, only to find a gun in the search. He wondered how expressive his reaction would be.

Although Veronica Yip has a certificate, it is still a troublesome matter.

Once they've gone through all the procedures and verifications, they'll probably be spending the whole afternoon at the police station near the train station.

"Be careful, there are a lot of pickpockets around here."

"profound."

Ye Yuqing replied coldly as always.

Once in the taxi, Lin Yifeng asked the driver to find a decent hotel nearby.

Although Lam Yat-fung planned to book two rooms, he did not object when Yip Yuk-hing questioned whether he should book only one.

In Huaqiangbei, how rampant are pickpockets?

Let me put it this way.

If you get off at the train station and dare to walk with your arms outstretched, you might find yourself with only your clothes on by the time you reach the station exit.

Some pickpockets even try to slip an extra two dollars into the pocket of someone they're groping if they find the person is poor.

The reason for pickpocketing is actually quite simple: in this era, in addition to migrant workers, there are quite a few business people in Huaqiangbei.

Half of those getting off the train were migrant workers, and the other half were business owners from other southern cities.

If these pickpockets manage to pickpocket a wealthy boss, they've made a killing.

This also proves how terrifying the speed of Shenzhen's economic development is in this era.

In his hotel room, Lin Yifeng first took a shower to wash away his fatigue.

Veronica Yip turned on the television and watched local programs.

That day, Lin Yifeng took Ye Yuqing to stroll around the night market, and then they returned to the hotel to rest early.

There was even a little incident in the middle.

In the middle of the night, Lin Yifeng got up to go to the bathroom and saw Ye Yuqing by the bed holding a small card, which piqued his curiosity.

Just as he leaned closer to try and see what was on it, Ye Yuqing hid herself away at lightning speed, not letting Lin Yifeng see a thing.

The most interesting thing was that just before Lin Yifeng was about to go to sleep, he suddenly asked a question.

"Why do teachers and nurses need to provide door-to-door services?"

These words caused Lin Yifeng, who was drinking water, to choke violently.

Without a doubt, the card that Veronica Yip had just taken was one of those cards.

“They have nothing better to do, and they want to make money faster, so they take shortcuts.”

Ye Yuqing nodded.

She didn't quite understand this stuff, but once Lin Yifeng mentioned the unorthodox approach, she got it.

Just like exercising, some people like to take shortcuts and find unorthodox methods.

Ye Yuqing didn't understand what this unorthodox approach was, but she knew that these people definitely wouldn't live long.

Of course, it's not surprising that Lin Yifeng slipped small cards into the hotel.

After all, the place next to Pengcheng is the liveliest place for this kind of thing, and in the future, they might even be able to host something like the "Hainan Rendez-Vous". Lin Yifeng is naturally no stranger to these things.

After a night's rest, Lin Yifeng took Ye Yuqing out for breakfast the next morning.

After breakfast, the two took a taxi to Huaqiangbei, the most important place in Shenzhen.

As soon as she got out of the taxi, Ye Yuqing's attention was drawn to the bright red and green signs in front of her.

"So many buildings."

Lin Yifeng smiled.

The towering buildings along Shennan Avenue, along with the Pengcheng Electronics Building, a landmark standing among them, constantly showcase the prosperity of Shenzhen.
