Back in Park 2, Zhang Hu's worries did not come to pass.
I didn't encounter the same issues as in Parks 7 and 8 in Park 2.
Zhang Hu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, thank goodness."
After driving into the park, Zhang Hu and Lu Chi got out of the car together. Zhang Hu locked the car door and said to Lu Chi, "Let's lock those things in the car for now. After we've dealt with these parks, we'll just drive away."
Fearing Lu Chi might misunderstand, Zhang Hu added, "Little Chi, don't misunderstand. I don't want all those things myself. We brothers will split them equally!"
“Okay!” Lu Chi nodded.
I looked up at my Patek Philippe watch; it was already 3 a.m.
Lu Chi let out a long yawn.
Zhang Hu was also extremely sleepy.
"Little Tiger, time for bed."
"Okay, Xiaochi, go to sleep!"
The two went back to their respective rooms to sleep.
Lu Chi slept until noon the next day before waking up.
When I opened my phone, I was bombarded with news reports, all about the destruction of Zones 7 and 8.
The park's destruction, sensationalized by the media, seemed shrouded in mystery.
For a time, people in northern Myanmar were filled with fear and unease.
Those who have done bad things are terrified that they will be the next ones to be eliminated.
Below the news about the destruction of the park are comments expressing panic, fear, and widespread anxiety.
How could such a large industrial park—no, two large industrial parks—be destroyed?
[Although the people in the park are annoying, it's terrifying that so many people were killed overnight. This doesn't seem like something a human would do; it's more like something a ghost would do. Ah, a ghost... could it be coming to wipe us out too?]
【Oh dear, I'm so scared! Don't scare me, upstairs!】
Waaaaah, I'm so scared too!
Bro, my window's still open, boohoo.
Ghosts are silent; if they really exist, closing the windows won't help.
The remaining parks, including Zhang Hu's, also felt a strong sense of unease.
Lu Chi was about to get out of bed to wash up when he heard Zhang Hu knocking on the door: "Xiao Chi, Xiao Chi! Are you awake?"
He jumped out of bed to open the door for Zhang Hu.
As soon as Zhang Hu entered the room, he plopped down on the sofa and loudly proclaimed:
"This morning, the three leaders from Zones 3, 4, and 5 came to see me together, saying they were very scared and didn't know if they would be next!"
They've increased security in their respective parks, but they're still afraid, always worried they might be killed in their sleep. From what they're saying, they probably want to take the money and go live abroad.
Lu Chi was shocked. It seemed that even the three leaders were not incompetent. They realized that something had happened in four parks, and they dared not stay in the parks any longer.
Indeed, running away is the best option.
"Xiao Chi, since everyone's running away, let's run away too. Anyway, we've already taken so much money. If we're careful with it, we'll never run out of it in this lifetime."
Lu Chi nodded: "That's true. There's no need to go head-to-head with those park leaders. If we do, even if we win by chance and take the money, even if those leaders are killed, people in the park will know that we took the money and will relentlessly hunt us down."
After all, money is a cardinal sin. It's better to let their leaders run away; their underlings who covet their money will find a way to hunt them down anyway.
Zhang Hu felt that what Lu Chi said made a lot of sense.
"Xiao Chi, let's do it your way. I'll go and prepare first, pack up, and then figure out a way to exchange those jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings for cash and deposit them into my card."
Once things are settled, we'll head to China. That disgusting place—I'll never return to it in this lifetime!
Lu Chi nodded: "Okay, go and prepare."
Zhang Hu got up to leave, but suddenly realized that his purpose in coming here was not just to talk to Lu Chi about running away.
"Oh, right, Xiaochi, hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth, let's go eat. I haven't had breakfast yet because I was waiting for you."
"good."
Lu Chi nodded, his stomach rumbling as if in response.
After having dinner at Zhang Hu's private kitchen, Zhang Hu said he needed to deal with the pile of gold, silver, jewelry, and cash first, and asked Lu Chi to come along and count it to see how much there was.
Lu Chi shook his head and refused, saying, "It's alright. We're brothers, it's just a little money. How could I not trust you? Go ahead and do your thing, but leave me a car later, I'll go for a drive around."
Zhang Hu thought about it and agreed, then turned and left decisively.
Before leaving, he tossed Lu Chi a car key, saying, "See that? It's over there on the lawn. There's an old Land Rover there. If you want to go out for a drive, just take that car. If you're not familiar with the area, you can ask one of your buddies to take you."
Lu Chi shook his head: "No need, there's navigation, I can go wherever I want."
"Koike, the park here is not like China. There are some places that even navigation can't take you there."
“That’s true. When I go out later, I’ll have two brothers come with me.”
"Okay, I'll go take care of my business now. Be careful when you go out for a stroll."
After Zhang Hu left, Lu Chi drove his old Land Rover, picked up two of Zhang Hu's men, and drove around town for a while, even having a Chinese hot pot meal.
Lu Chi ate until it was almost dark in the afternoon when he received a call from Zhang Hu.
His tone was filled with panic.
"Xiao Chi! Are you alright, Xiao Chi?"
Lu Chi: "...What could possibly be wrong with me?"
"I'm so glad you're alright, you scared me to death!" Zhang Hu's excited voice came from the other end of the phone. "Do you know what? It's so weird, something happened in Zone 3 and Zone 4 too! Yang Liang, the leader of Zone 3, died suddenly out of nowhere."
Lu Chi naturally knew what was going on.
He arranged for Tang Xiaopiao to do this, so how could she not know what was going on!
However, Lu Chi did not want to reveal anything to Zhang Hu.
Because I didn't want him to know that his good brother was such a terrifying being.
"Huh? Died suddenly? How did he die suddenly?"
"I don't know. She was fine this morning and even came to see me. When I went back home at noon and was taking a nap with my sweetheart, I suddenly felt like something was stuck around my neck, and I couldn't get it off no matter how hard I struggled."
Lu Chi asked in surprise, "And then, you hung up?"
Zhang Hu sighed, his voice tinged with fear: "Yeah, and then it hung up. Xiao Chi, where are you now? Come back quickly, I feel so scared, I want to run away right now."
Lu Chi replied, "Me? My two brothers and I are having hot pot at a Chinese restaurant in town, but we'll be done soon and we'll be back in a bit."
"Okay! Brother, come back quickly. I don't know why, but I always feel much more at ease when you're around."
Lu Chi nodded: "Okay!"
After settling the bill, he and Zhang Hu's two men drove back to Park No. 2 in that old Land Rover.
