Two days later.
Reporter Lai had a nightmare. He dreamed that the article he wrote became a huge hit and was known all over the country. Pu Town also became famous, not only in Wanghai, but also became a must-visit and well-known classic scenic spot for everyone.
One report brought... in today's terms, it should have made him famous, which should be what everyone in his line of work dreams of. But the reason it was called a nightmare was because he also dreamed that because of the popularity of the article, people who came here to see it came to this small town, and then they were caught in the vortex and became one of those who had their property taken away and their children sold.
Then Lai Hongyi woke up. He didn't feel anything when he woke up. But when he stood up, he found that his pajamas were sticking to his back, and he realized that he was sweating all over.
When did Lai Hongyi become a bodhisattva who wanted to save all sentient beings? He still had this evil dream the next day... He shook his head in self-mockery.
Although he had a nightmare, Lai Hongyi was in a good mood. Who doesn't like to do good deeds? Even bosses like Wang Kai like to do good deeds. He kills people and sets fires while burning incense and praying to Buddha, all for the sake of peace of mind.
Doing good things for a long time can indeed keep you in a good mood. He felt happy when he thought that the girl escaped from the clutches of the devil with his help.
Today was the original deadline for departure. Although the organizers were willing to let Lai Hongyi stay for a few more days, after what happened the day before yesterday, he was always wary of this place. After all, he had ruined Wang Kai's good deeds and shamelessly stayed in Wang Kai's territory to eat and drink for free. If he was exposed, he would definitely be in trouble.
In fact, he wanted to leave yesterday, but the man named Li Ze came to him yesterday and wanted to host a banquet specifically to honor the article written by Lai Hongyi.
Lai Hongyi really didn't want to go, but he couldn't refuse. He couldn't show too much resistance either, as the contrast between the two would only increase suspicion.
Fortunately, Li Ze did not cause trouble for him, and no one went to track down the escaped girl. The people he sent had already settled her down and would make further plans after he left Pu Town.
Another day later, if I leave now, no one will suspect anything anymore.
He slowly brushed his teeth, washed up, changed his clothes, and dragged his packed luggage, ready to leave this place of trouble.
Just then, someone knocked on his door.
Lai Hongyi suddenly became alert. He moved closer and looked outside through the peephole. There stood a beautiful girl in revealing clothes. He relaxed a little because she was an old "acquaintance" of his, one of the "self-reliant women" who frequented the big hotel.
He shouted through the door, "Sister Hui, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"
Sister Hui outside the door smiled charmingly and said, "You're leaving, but you're reluctant to see me for the last time. I was waiting for you last night, only to receive a cold text message. You're so heartless."
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've been here for so long, I've become your regular customer. After all, work is more important. Leaving will only add to the sadness."
The other side said sadly: "But you haven't paid me the money from last time. I am even more sad to say goodbye like this."
Lai Hongyi was stunned for a moment, slapped his forehead, and laughed helplessly. He had been on guard from the beginning. He didn't dare to play with the people assigned to him. He found this Sister Hui himself in the hotel. Bypassing the project given by the "government", he naturally had to pay for it out of his own pocket.
He confirmed again that there was no one outside the peephole, completely relaxed, and opened the door.
Almost at the same time, the door of the room next to Lai Hongyi was also opened.
The person walking out from over there...is Li Ze.
He almost screamed and subconsciously ran into the house, but he immediately realized that it was futile to do so. This was the eighth floor, and jumping out of the building to escape was tantamount to suicide. Moreover, this was Pu Town, Wang Kai's territory. Even if he didn't die after jumping, where could he escape to?
He almost exhausted all his life's cultivation, sitting on the sofa, looking at the group of people pouring in with a calm appearance. When Li Ze came over slowly, smoking a cigarette, he asked, "Boss Li, what does this mean?"
Li Ze looked at him with admiration and said with a smile: "You ran away when you saw me. Why? Because you had something on your mind. You were afraid of me, so you ran away."
Lai Hongyi's eyes flickered, and he said calmly, "I don't understand what you mean."
Seeing that he was pretending to be stupid, Li Ze didn't get angry. He waved his hand outside and his men brought a man in. After seeing the man's appearance, Lai Hongyi's breathing almost stopped.
The girl surnamed Zhu was tied up all over, with a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth, and she was sobbing.
"I brought her back the same night you sent her away."
Lai Hongyi raised his head, thinking that it was impossible. He wanted to ask what was going on, but then he lowered his head dejectedly. It made no sense to ask or not.
Li Ze explained kindly, "You think it's impossible because you spoke to your old brother on the phone, and he told you that the people have been settled and are just waiting for you to come over, right? Hey, people like you are so naive and stupid.
"We gave you a drink yesterday to give you a chance to confess. Now our attitude is different, but you are useless."
Lai Hongyi smiled bitterly and said, "Why bother?"
"There's really no need. We have plenty of country girls like this. We don't even have time to take the ones that are delivered to our door. Why use force?" Li Ze said, "If it were a normal situation, she would have run away without any fuss. But this matter involves you. You've harmed her."
Even though he was surrounded by thugs, this shameless statement infuriated Lai Hongyi, who angrily asked, "What does this have to do with me!?"
