"But he has only been an adult for a few days!" Xiang Aoting was irritated by Lian Jun's attitude and said very mercilessly, "A few months ago, he was just a fat young man who would be exhausted after running two laps! You let him go on a mission, you are sending him to death! Do you think his conditions are suitable? You think it is a good deal to use him as a cannon fodder in exchange for the benefits given to you by the
higher-ups!" As soon as these words came out, Gua Er and Gua Jiu's expressions turned ugly, and their eyes turned very unfriendly when they looked at Xiang Aoting.
Lian Jun would never use the lives of his subordinates to exchange for benefits. Xiang Aoting said this to insult Lian Jun and their "Mie"!
At this point, Lian Jun also saw that Xiang Aoting was in a state that he would not listen to any explanation, so he pointed his head to Shi Jin and said, "Attack."
"You!" Xiang Aoting stood up straight in anger, and wanted to take out his weapon. Shi Jin
understood Lian Jun's meaning in a second, and felt that it was time for Xiang Aoting to get to know him again. He immediately supported himself on the table and jumped flexibly, and swept his long legs straight towards Xiang Aoting's hand that was ready to take the gun. With the other hand, he picked up the pen on Lian Jun's table, used the pen as a dagger, and slashed at Xiang Aoting's eyes.
Xiang Aoting's eyes changed, and he quickly retreated to avoid his attack, but he couldn't pull out the gun in his hand.
Shi Jin took the opportunity to land, threw the pen, and clenched his fists in a standard fighting opening posture to attack Xiang Aoting.
"Xiao Jin, you——" Xiang Aoting couldn't believe it, he was surprised and suspicious.
Shi Jin attacked without holding back, interrupting him: "No point in talking, take off your weapons, let's fight first."
Xiang Aoting frowned, quickly calmed down, and just dodged without attacking. He wanted to find Po Xian to control him first and then have a good talk with him, but after a few moves, he found that his attack was neat and powerful, very methodical, not like a novice at all. He was even more suspicious, his expression gradually became serious, and he gradually began to attack back. Bang bang
bang bang!
The two of them went back and forth, and the study was full of the sound of fists and feet hitting each other.
Shi Jin's attack was swift and fierce, and Xiang Aoting's counterattack was steady and tricky. The two of them moved very quickly, and in a short while, they had exchanged dozens of moves. .
Gua Er's expression gradually became strange, with an expression of "Is there any reason in this world?", and he muttered: "What's going on, did these two brothers learn fighting from the same master? Why do they look so similar? Also, how can Xiang Aoting, who flies a plane, be so good at fighting? He is fighting Shi Jin with one hand."
"It's one hand." Gua Jiu watched carefully, and took out his mobile phone to secretly record the video, saying, "Both of them learned the way of the military, it's normal for their styles to be similar, but Xiang Aoting pays more attention to practice, and Shi Jin has less practice and is a bit rigid."
Gua Er looked at the phone in his hand speechlessly and asked: "What are you doing?"
"Going to seek the scriptures." Gua Jiu said sternly with a baby face, "Xiang Aoting is very powerful, Gua Yi should not be able to beat him."
Gua Er was so angry when he heard this - he had never seen such an "enemy" become so arrogant. But he was angry, but he couldn't say anything to refute it. Gua Yi's strongest points were shooting and sneak attacks, and he might not be able to beat Xiang Aoting in a fight. Shi Jin
also quickly discovered that Xiang Aoting was holding back. With a flash of his eyes, he used a fake squatting move to induce Xiang Aoting to raise his legs to attack, and then took the opportunity to lean on the ground and turn sideways, hugging Xiang Aoting's legs from the side, and reaching out to steal the peach.
"Ahem! What is he doing? What is Xiao Jinjin doing? He is a hooligan because he can't beat him." Gua Er immediately yelled, and then received the double disgusting gazes from Lian Jun and Gua Jiu.
Gua Er: "..."
Xiang Aoting obviously didn't expect Shi Jin to use such a shameless trick. He froze for a while before leaning to dodge. However, Shi Jin suddenly changed his claws to palms, moved slightly, and hit Xiang Aoting's leg numbness exposed when he was dodging, and at the same time leaned over and hit him hard.
Bang.
Xiang Aoting fell to the ground unsteadily. Shi Jin successfully pinned him with his body. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked down at Xiang Aoting, and said proudly, "Fourth brother, I won."
Xiang Aoting looked at his energetic face close to him, panting without saying a word, with a complicated look in his eyes. After a long while, he stretched out his hand to hold his shoulders and lifted him up with skill. He looked at Lian Jun, his face no longer angry, but still with disapproval, and said, "Lian Jun, it is not enough to just fight when going on a mission. I still don't agree to let "If Xiao Jin participates in this mission, I will submit a report to the higher-ups and ask for your replacement."
Lian Jun's answer was also very straightforward, saying: "You can't be replaced. You and I are just partners. You have no right to interfere in who I send out. And you are not a real participant in this mission. If I say I am not satisfied, you have to leave now."
So this is not actually a two-way choice. Xiang Aoting was completely passive in the night. He was able to go through this today because Lian Jun gave him a little face.
"Don't underestimate Shi Jin." Lian Jun threatened people and then started to reason, "Shi Jin is far better than you think. Xiang Aoting, you brothers all have a common problem, that is, you only judge what kind of person Shi Jin is based on subjective conjecture, but you are all wrong. Shi Jin, take your brother to the gun gym, you should practice shooting today." Shi Jin
was flattered by the compliment, and gave Lian Jun a flattering smile, and got up from the ground. , reached out and patted Xiang Aoting on the shoulder, saying: "Let's go, let's go and compete in shooting again."
Xiang Aoting was a little stunned by Lian Jun's words. After being patted, he turned his head to look at Shi Jin, who was smiling brightly and confidently, and found that he had never seen him smile like this before. His lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end, and walked out with Shi Jin - Lian Jun was right, he had no choice at all, the only thing he could do now was to try to stay.
The two of them arrived at the gun hall. Shi Jin wanted Xiang Aoting to change his mind about him, so he took Xiang Aoting to the most difficult simulation scene area and said: "You can choose any gun. Our battlefield is this scene area. There are a total of fifteen robbers and five hostages in the field. Do you want to compete?" The
simulation scene area at night has just been renovated and the equipment has been upgraded, which is very suitable for practice. Xiang Aoting looked around, then looked at Shi Jin and accepted his challenge: "Let's compete."
He wanted to see what his younger brother had grown up to be when he didn't know.
"Then let's get started." Shi Jin rubbed his hands and was the first to change his equipment.
Shi Jin's strengths were long-range attacks and shooting, and he was smart and had an exaggerated sense of crisis. When the two of them fought in the simulation area and rescued all the hostages, and came to the comprehensive evaluation room outside to collect the results, the scoring system had already given an evaluation - although Xiang Aoting rescued one more hostage, Shi Jin solved three more robbers, and Shi Jin's shooting hit rate was actually higher than Xiang Aoting's.
"There is also a tactical training system here, which is also newly installed. Do you want to play with it?" Shi Jin took off his safety helmet, still a little out of breath when he spoke, and challenged again.
At this time, Xiang Aoting had completely changed his opinion of Shi Jin. He looked at him deeply, pursed his thin lips, and his serious face looked even more ferocious. He nodded: "Go."
Tactical drills are the best way to see a person's comprehensive combat qualities. The two stayed in the training room for an entire afternoon. At the end of the training, Xiang Aoting refused to let Shi Jin leave and repeatedly changed the training scenario, trying to find out where Shi Jin's limit was. Shi
Jin was so tired that he didn't want to pay attention to Xiang Aoting when he finally came out - this guy is completely a lunatic! Training a lunatic! Too cruel!
Xiang Aoting didn't need his attention either. After coming out, he remained silent, looking like he was lost in some thoughts. From time to time, he glanced at Shi Jin, his eyes like a searchlight, which made people creepy.
Shi Jin even suspected that Xiang Aoting was going to cut open his body to see the internal structure, so he quickly stuffed Xiang Aoting into the Night Canteen, and he trotted to the small restaurant to have dinner with Lian Jun.
"How's it going?" Lian Jun asked without any context after finishing his meal. Shi
Jin was wiping his mouth, and was stunned when he heard this. He squinted his eyes and recalled his experience in the afternoon, and replied: "It's OK, Xiang Aoting is very powerful and has rich combat experience. I learned a lot from him."
"Yeah." Lian Jun nodded and asked: "Then don't change?"
This was asking Shi Jin whether he wanted to change a trainer.
Shi Jin thought about it and shook his head: "No need to change, just him, anyway, it's just a training for a while, not to let him stay here forever." And Xiang Aoting came at the right time, which made it convenient for him to find out the situation of the mother's family of the five brothers of the Shi family. The original plot did not describe this aspect very much, and he needed to collect clues.
A conversation also took place in the cafeteria.
Xiang Aoting took the initiative to sit across from Gua Er and asked, "How long has Shi Jin been trained by you?"
Gua Er looked at him and didn't want to pay attention to him, so he asked back, "How long can it be? How long has he been out of your sight?"
Xiang Aoting noticed his hostility, frowned slightly, and asked again, "Won't he eat with you?"
This time Gua Er didn't answer directly, threw down his chopsticks, and left.
Xiang Aoting watched him leave, thinking back to what he saw and heard in the night today, thinking about something. After
a dreamless night, the next day, Shi Jin had breakfast and went to the training room as usual after digesting the food. This time, the one waiting for him in the training room was no longer Gua Yi or Gua Er, but Xiang Aoting, who changed into a military green training uniform.
"Let's take a look today." Xiang Aoting seemed to have accepted the fact that the participant of the mission he was going to train was Shi Jin. He held a recording board with some items listed on it. He pointed to the running track in the training room with a businesslike look on his face and said, "Warm up first. Yesterday we only tested fighting and shooting. Today we will test the basics, starting with endurance."
Seeing him like this, Shi Jin suddenly had a vague premonition in his heart and asked, "How many laps?"
Xiang Aoting looked at him, his thin lips slightly parted, and said in a sonorous voice, "Run until you can't run anymore."
Damn... Damn...
Brother, are you too cruel? "If you
don't want to run, quit the mission. I won't send a rookie who doesn't work hard to die at the hands of the enemy." Xiang Aoting said in a cold tone.
How much these words sound like those of his old instructor in the police academy.
Shi Jin sighed silently and went to warm up obediently.
Running, push-ups, sit-ups, horizontal bar, parallel bars... Shi Jin once again recalled the fear that dominated him when he first entered the police academy due to physical training. He was so nervous that he was too tired to even speak, let alone find Xiang Aoting for information.
Xiang Aoting also had an unpredictable attitude. Every time Shi Jin completed a training, his expression would be strangely gloomy for a while.
At the end of the day, Shi Jin was almost half dead. His clothes were soaked by sweat again and again, and in the end he was almost dragged out of the training room by Xiang Aoting.
"Your endurance is OK, but your overall physical fitness is not up to standard. Your muscles are not formed and too soft." Xiang Aoting made a cruel comment and threw Shi Jin directly into the medical room to let the doctor give him an IV.
Shi Jin also knew that his physical fitness was a big problem in his life, but he still deliberately said, "Yes, only your muscles are hard. Fourth brother, are you taking revenge? How can you train so hard right from the start? Can't you do it step by step?"
Xiang Aoting replied, "No, the mission may start at any time, and you don't have time to do it step by step." Shi Jin
was paralyzed in the chair and couldn't speak.
Xiang Aoting frowned and was silent for a few seconds. Finally, he praised him, "You have a good foundation and work hard."
"Thank you, the world is dangerous, I can't survive if I don't work hard." Shi Jin replied half-truthfully.
Xiang Aoting sat down next to him, looked at him for a while, and suddenly asked, "Why?"
Why why, why do these brothers always like to ask why? It's okay to ask, but can't they ask in more detail? He is not a worm in these people's stomachs.
Shi Jin was helpless and asked, "Why why?"
"Why did you choose here?" Xiang Aoting looked at his face, which was completely different from the past, and asked, "You can obviously choose a more stable and comfortable life, why do you choose to stay here?"
"You don't know?" Shi Jin raised his eyebrows and asked back.
Xiang Aoting shook his head honestly. He really didn't know. He spent most of his time in the army in the past few years and had too little contact with his relatives.
Shi Jin looked at his genuine expression, and suddenly a strange idea popped up in his mind - this fourth brother... couldn't he be completely oblivious to the situation? He seemed to be completely unaware of the conflicts of interest and calculations between brothers. His words and actions were very frank, as if he had nothing to hide in his heart.
"Don't you hate me?" Shi Jin sat up and asked, looking into his eyes.
Xiang Aoting had some doubts in his eyes, and he also felt uncomfortable about being seen through. He even felt a little guilty for having such thoughts. However, he remained serious and replied, "Disgusting. I don't like your past attitude towards life. But now you... work hard and are very healthy. Except that your boss is Lian Jun and you are rebellious and don't want to go home to continue studying, everything else is good."
My goodness, listen to this answer, look at this expression, is this really a bad brother?
Shi Jin tentatively held Xiang Aoting's hand.
Xiang Aoting's body froze, but he didn't dodge. He just frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Shi Jin didn't know what expression to put on. He lay paralyzed on the bed and said dryly, "I just suddenly wanted to touch you... Fourth brother, let's get along well, okay?"
"It's useless. I won't let you go." Xiang Aoting pulled his hand away mercilessly and said righteously, "Since you have chosen, you must stick to it. The sweat you pay now is your life force when you go on the mission. Xiao Jin, your attitude is still not cautious enough."
Shi Jin: "..."
Xiao Si said weakly: "Jin Jin, the progress bar has dropped, it's 840."
Shi Jin groaned, not feeling comforted, but feeling a headache - this fourth brother seemed to be quite difficult to deal with in some ways.
Once the devilish training began, there was no way to stop it. Every day, Shi Jin walked into the training room upright, and was dragged out paralyzed by Xiang Aoting. He looked so miserable.
This situation did not get better until a week later, and Shi Jin's body finally slowly adapted to this high-intensity training. And his plan to get information from Xiang Aoting still made no progress.
Xiang Aoting was like a stinky stone that only knew how to train. Want to talk about something else? Don't even think about it.
Another day of training ended, and this time Shi Jin was finally able to walk out by himself. The two said goodbye at the door, and after walking a few steps, Xiang Aoting suddenly called Shi Jin.
"What's wrong?" Shi Jin asked doubtfully.
Xiang Aoting hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where do you eat every day?"
Shi Jin was stunned and replied, "The sixth floor, with Jun Shao."
Xiang Aoting's expression suddenly became ugly, and he asked in a strange tone, "Xiao Jin, are you... are you..."
"Is it what?" Shi Jin was more and more confused and confused.
"...Forget it." Xiang Aoting suddenly shut up and said stiffly, "We can proceed to the next stage of the training plan. You have a good rest today and come early tomorrow." After that, he turned and left. Shi Jin was
puzzled and raised his hand to scratch his head: "What kind of riddle is this?"
The training lasted for more than half a month. During this period, Shi Weichong called twice and wanted to arrange a meeting between Shi Jin and Xiang Aoting. Obviously, he also knew that Xiang Aoting came to Ye Se. Shi Jin actually wanted to go out and strengthen his relationship with Shi Weichong, but he had to decline because the mission was urgent. When
another heavy snow fell, Xiang Aoting suddenly left for a few days, and when he came back, he brought news that the mission was about to begin, and Shi Jin finally learned the specific content of this mission.
"What we are going to do this time is an information collection mission." Xiang Aoting projected a piece of encrypted data and explained to Shi Jin in detail, "The man on the screen is called Liu Yuan, nicknamed Yuan Mazi, who is engaged in human trafficking. He is your main target this time. He used to be one of our informants, but later defected. Now we suspect that someone inside the military has been persuaded by him and has become his backer. All the undercovers and spies we sent out in the past were discovered, so this time we can only seek external help." Human
trafficking? And collusion with insiders? Shi
Jin showed a disgusted expression on his face. It was no wonder that he was like this. As long as he had worked as a policeman, there were few who did not hate human traffickers. These people were simply more hated than murderers.
"Yuan Mazi belongs to an illegal violent organization called 'Werewolf'. The main members of this organization hide abroad all year round. In addition to human trafficking, they also take on various black businesses. Recently, we got news that they sneaked back to the country in batches. It seems that they have taken on some big business. This is our opportunity." Shi
Jin roughly understood what he meant and asked, "The authorities want to know who is behind Werewolf and Liu Yuan?"
"That's right." Xiang Aoting nodded, very satisfied with his thinking and reaction speed, and continued, "This mission is a confidential mission. In order to prevent the plan from being leaked again, all the personnel participating in the mission are transferred from other places. You are the only external aid and the heaviest task. We need you to pretend to be a person kidnapped by Yuan Mazi, infiltrate the werewolf, and collect as much information as possible." Shi
Jin frowned and asked, "How to pretend? " ? Also, the main victims of human trafficking are children and women. Would Yuan Mazi kidnap someone like me?"
Xiang Aoting was silent for a while and replied, "Yes, contrary to the big data, Yuan Mazi's favorite target group for trafficking is young boys, aged seventeen or eighteen, who are handsome and hardy and come from the countryside to work in the city."
As Shi Jin listened, the expression on his face disappeared. He looked at Xiang Aoting dimly and said, "Don't tell me that Yuan Mazi is..."
"He is a human trafficker and also a pimp. Because of his sexual orientation, he prefers to traffic young men. Generally, the men he trafficks will be secretly trained by him for a period of time, and when he gets tired of them, he will send them to Country T, and then sell them all over the world through Country T."
"…………" Why can't his mission escape the hurdle of selling sex.
Xiang Aoting also felt that this mission was a bit difficult to explain, so he patted Shi Jin on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, there is reliable evidence that Yuan Mazi is no longer humane, and the werewolves are not as rampant in the country as they are abroad. We will try our best to ensure your safety."
Shi Jin did not feel comforted, and asked without hope, "How are you going to guarantee my safety?"
Xiang Aoting withdrew his hand and said, " I have also applied to participate in this mission, and it has been approved. I will be your direct contact. As soon as there is any unusual movement on your side, I will go to rescue you, so don't be afraid." Shi
Jin was surprised. He didn't expect that he would also participate in this mission. His mood suddenly became complicated - Xiang Aoting is a pilot, and the department he belongs to has nothing to do with the department in charge of this mission. To be transferred to participate in this mission, Xiang Aoting must have done a lot of work.
"Fourth brother, you don't have to do this."
"Yes." Xiang Aoting turned off the projection and said seriously, "You are my younger brother, and an elder brother should protect his younger brother. That's what I should do." Shi
Jin sighed in his mind: "It's over, I think I was counter-conquered by him, he is such an upright and reliable good brother."
Xiao Si thought carefully, but he couldn't think of anything wrong with Xiang Aoting, so he could only remain silent.
Two days later, the specific date of the mission was set. Yuan Mazi appeared in a small town in H Province, and seemed to be preparing to take a green train to the inland. This was a good opportunity to get close to him. Shi Jin
was halfway through his meal when he received a call from Xiang Aoting. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Lian Jun and wanted to explain the situation, but Lian Jun beat him to the punch.
"Be careful." Lian Jun put down his chopsticks and instructed. Shi
Jin swallowed his words, nodded, and then instructed: "You have to eat well when I'm not around."
"You're so nagging." Lian Jun replied, moved the wheelchair out from behind the table, took out a small pendant and put it in Shi Jin's hand, saying, "I heard that you returned the cucumber pillow to Rong Zhouzhong. This is for you. Remember to carry it with you." Shi Jin
lowered his head and saw that he gave him a cartoon pendant in the shape of a chicken leg. He couldn't help laughing, shook the little chicken leg, and deliberately said: "Mr. Jun, I don't like eating chicken legs."
Lian Jun glanced at him, waved his hand and said: "Go, don't waste time."
"Then I'll go." Shi Jin put away the chicken drumstick, suddenly stepped forward and hugged Lian Jun, then quickly let go, backed away and waved at Lian Jun, saying with a smile, "When I finish my mission, I want to eat roasted whole lamb!"
Lian Jun's tense body slowly relaxed, and he didn't say anything. When he could no longer be seen, he replied in a cold voice, "Don't even think about it. I can't eat it, and neither can you."
...
In S Province, next to H Province, Shi Jin, wearing an old-fashioned winter suit, a tacky black knitted hat, and carrying a suitcase, squeezed onto a green train.
His lips were frozen purple, and he held an old old-fashioned mobile phone in his hand. He kept his head down, his eyes were a little shivering, and his body language was very restrained. It was obvious that this was his first time traveling far away by train.
People like this have seen many times, so no one paid attention to him. He successfully found his seat and sat down, tentatively showing goodwill to the person sitting next to him, but unfortunately the person sitting next to him was a powerful middle-aged man, who responded to his smile with a disgusted roll of the eyes.
So he became more restrained, leaning slightly to the side, taking out his cell phone with both hands, carefully dialing a number, and whispering in an unknown dialect: "Mom, I'm already in the car, don't worry, I will definitely make enough money for brother's betrothal gift, tell him not to be sad, his leg is broken, it will be healed, sister-in-law also said that we can wait until his leg is healed before holding the wedding, it's okay."
Xiang Aoting on the other end of the phone: "..."
Shi Jin shook the phone, made a puzzled look, and increased the volume: "Mom? Can you hear me? Is there no signal?"
"...I can hear it." Xiang Aoting adjusted his state and asked, "Did you see the target person?"
"Strange, no signal?" Shi Jin stood up with his cell phone and began to move slightly in the carriage. After a turn, it seemed that the cell phone finally had a signal. He stopped and said happily, "I heard it, I heard it. Mom, you talk, I listen."
This strange dialect really affected the communication.
Xiang Aoting coughed and asked, "Have you found the mission target?"
"Yes." Shi Jin replied.
"Yuan Mazi should be going to City C to meet up with the werewolf army this time. It takes six stations from Province S to City C, and the total journey is sixteen hours. Try to talk to him during this time and let him 'kidnap' you." Xiang Aoting instructed.
Shi Jin shyly replied, "Mom, I know. My brother's marriage is very important. He is almost 30 years old and still a bachelor. I am still young and don't want to have friends."
Xiang Aoting: "..."
The first routine call after the mission started ended. Shi Jin was very happy, but Xiang Aoting felt a little hurt. He felt that he really didn't understand his younger brother Shi Jin.
Yuan Mazi is a tall and thin middle-aged man with a sallow complexion, few eyebrows and thin lips, and a somewhat mean look. He was sitting in the corner of the carriage. He was dozing off when Shi Jin came in and didn't notice Shi Jin until Shi Jin moved near him to talk on the phone. He was attracted by Shi Jin's pleasant voice and opened his drooping eyes.
Shi Jin's clothes are not very good, his speech is rustic, and his body language is very timid, but his appearance is really good. Although he covered himself up a bit to hide his nature as a spoiled young master and roughened up all the exposed skin, his facial features could not be changed, and he was still good-looking.
When Shi Jin put away his phone, he was aware that Yuan Mazi's gaze was cast over him and stayed on him for a long time. He was very satisfied in his heart, but pretended not to know on his face and returned to his seat.
The train started moving, and the carriage gradually became quiet - there were not many people at this station, and no one talked. Shi Jin
leaned on his seat and looked out the window, occasionally glancing at the bag above his head, and tapping the old mobile phone in his hand, behaving like a little mouse who was alert and cautious when going out for the first time.
It was getting dark, and the smell of instant noodles and boxed lunches wafted through the carriage. Shi Jin looked a little sleepy and yawned, but he didn't go to buy food. Instead, he stood up, checked his luggage bag, and took out a bag of biscuits that were tightly wrapped in a bag.
It was late at night, and the people in the carriage fell asleep one after another. Shi Jin also leaned on his head and fell asleep. The train stopped in the early morning, and some people got on and off. Shi Jin went to take care of his physiological problems. When he came back and passed by Yuan Mazi's seat, he deliberately raised his hand and scratched his neck, revealing a little bit of his beautiful collarbone.
It got dark and bright again, and the frequency of the train stops became more frequent - they were approaching a prosperous inland city.
Shi Jin started a conversation with a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face. He naively revealed all his information to the other party. Fortunately, the person he was chatting with didn't seem to be a bad person. Seeing his naivety, he also reminded him to be more careful
when he was out and bought him a hot meal. Shi Jin was very grateful and his face was full of embarrassment, but he ate voraciously while eating, and he looked very hungry.
A few more hours passed by, and C City arrived at the next stop, but Shi Jin hadn't talked to Yuan Mazi yet.
Xiang Aoting took the initiative to call him and asked about his situation.
Shi Jin was tearing a cookie on his seat and replied, "Hurry up, call me when we get there. I know my phone is running out of battery. I've hidden my money well. It's okay."
Hearing him mention money, Xiang Aoting's heart moved and he asked, "Did Yuan Mazi do something to you? Did he steal your money?"
"Yes," Shi Jin replied, adding in his heart, and it was not long after he revealed that he would get off the bus in City C that he did it. This Yuan Mazi was more cunning and more cautious than he thought. It was good that he took the initiative to do it, which reduced the possibility of him deliberately approaching and revealing his flaws. Xiang
Aoting was relieved. For a moment, he didn't know whether to say that he was lucky or that he was accurate in reading people's minds. He gave a few more instructions and hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, the train successfully stopped. Shi Jin got off the train with his bag on his back, and walked very slowly on purpose to make it easier for Yuan Mazi to catch up. He followed the crowd out of the station and was bumped into several times. He apologized every time, and finally stumbled to the outside of the train station and fumbled for his phone to call someone.
But when he touched it, he found nothing.
Shi Jin was not surprised at all, but his face showed panic and anxiety. He began to feel his pockets up and down, and even squatted down to put down his luggage bag and buried his head in it to search.
"Little brother, what's wrong with you?" A thin figure appeared next to Shi Jin. Shi Jin
said in his heart that he was coming, but he looked up at the person with a very vigilant look on his face, pursed his lips to show that it was nothing, and wanted to leave with the luggage bag.
Yuan Mazi hurriedly stopped him, showed a kind smile and said, "Don't be afraid, little brother, I am a friend who took the same train with you, the one in the corner of the car, remember? I just saw that you seemed to be in some trouble, and wanted to come over to help. We all have to make a living outside, it's not easy, so help each other if we can." Shi
Jin looked at him doubtfully, as if he remembered him, and slowly relaxed his vigilance. His brows drooped, and he said in not very standard Mandarin, "I do have some trouble. I can't find my cell phone... What should I do? My mother is waiting for my call."
"Don't worry, I'll lend you my cell phone. You can look for it again. Maybe you put it somewhere and forgot it." Yuan Mazi hurriedly comforted him and took the initiative to hand over his cell phone.
This action successfully "gained the trust" of the country bumpkin Shi Jin. He looked shy and embarrassed, took Yuan Mazi's phone, thanked him repeatedly, then turned sideways and carefully made a call.
Xiang Aoting answered the phone quickly but didn't say anything.
"Mom, it's me." Shi Jin took the initiative to greet him, glanced at Yuan Mazi standing next to him, smiled at him embarrassedly, and said, "My mobile phone is out of battery, I borrowed it from a kind person in the same car... um, it's okay, I'll call Uncle Lao Wang now, I remember the name of his factory."
Xiang Aoting: "... Are you using Yuan Mazi's mobile phone?"
"Yes." Shi Jin replied.
Xiang Aoting was silent for a few seconds, signaled the other task personnel next to him to lock the phone number that was currently talking to him, and then asked: "Can you do it? Do you need help?"
"Yes, Mom, I'll hang up first. It's someone else's mobile phone, I'm embarrassed to talk too long." Shi Jin hung up the phone after he finished speaking, and then gratefully returned the phone to Yuan Mazi, and kept thanking him.
Yuan Mazi quickly said that it was nothing, and took the opportunity to talk to him, asking him if he was waiting for someone and what he was doing in City C. Shi Jin
told others in the car without any reservation what he had told them before, saying that he was here to work, and that a fellow villager, Uncle Wang, would come to pick him up, and then thanked Yuan Mazi again.
Yuan Mazi nodded, deliberately saying that there were many people at the station, and suspected that his mobile phone must have been stolen, and asked him to see if anything else was stolen. Shi Jin pretended to be panicked, buried his head in the luggage where the money was packed, and as expected, he touched nothing. He immediately showed a look of being scared to tears, and the whole person was dumbfounded.
Yuan Mazi shouted, "Oh my, oh my, the thief is really evil," and hurried to comfort him.
After that, there was a round of tricks, and finally Yuan Mazi successfully persuaded Shi Jin to get in the car driven by his "friend", saying that he would take him to the factory of his fellow villager.
