Borrow money
"Teacher Xiao He, I've certainly had some issues lately. I'll be canceling this SIM card and please delete all the information about me from your phone."
"When I have the chance in the future, I will explain it to you in person, please rest assured."
In the message sent by He Yue, the word "kindness" really burned Zhou Min.
How could she be worthy of He Yue's trust? Any one of Zhou Min's past deeds would be enough to scare ordinary people.
She is no longer kind, nor a child, and has long lost the qualifications to confide in others.
It seems that no matter how twisted her life was, she still ended up like most ordinary people in society, silently and alone enduring the beatings of life. Zhou Min smiled silently and pulled out the SIM card from his work phone.
Zhou Min's work phone was encrypted. The Investigation Bureau could use some means to locate the phone with the SIM card inserted, but could not read the information inside the phone.
There was no need to ask. Years of professional experience had made Zhou Min quite familiar with the work processes of the Investigation Bureau. She could guess that the next step for the Investigation Bureau would be to monitor He Yue's mobile phone. It was only a matter of time before they found the number. She asked He Yue to delete the information related to herself just to leave some buffer time.
Once the Investigation Bureau recovers He Yue’s communication records and finds out the past remittance information, it will freeze all sources of funds related to Zhou Min in the welfare home.
Even the life-saving money deposited in the hospital will be frozen.
Reconstruction projects and medical funds are urgent matters. Zhou Min does not want to give up halfway. He needs to raise funds again as soon as possible and then use other stable and legal channels to support the welfare home.
The stolen money Zhou Min earned as a killer was not eligible to be used as life-saving money, and the Investigation Bureau did not care about the lives of those who were in urgent need of help after the money was frozen.
In the Federation, the law is like a silk thread on which a sword hangs. Once it is plucked, disaster will befall the civilians who are shrouded in the shadow of the sword all day long.
Power is like bricks and stones. A powerful person can use them to build temporary shelter, while an even more powerful person can use them to build a ladder to the sky, towering over everything.
As it happens, Zhou Min knows a wealthy and powerful young lady who is above the law.
But he wasn't completely desperate yet, not to the point of selling himself out to Zhou Qiting. Zhou Min decided to put up a fight, plugged in his backup SIM card, opened the dedicated contact app on his work phone, and scrolled through the list to find someone he could borrow money from.
Chen Shu couldn't do that because he still owed her a large sum of money. Zhou Min wasn't so shameless.
The colleagues who recently played themselves to death, the colleagues who recently died of illness, those who have been dead for a year, those who have been dead for five years...it's still the same group of people.
By the end, Zhou Min was filled with grief. Why hadn't she made more normal friends? Every time she opened this contact app, it felt like a cyberpunk visit to a grave.
It was obviously not practical to borrow money from a dead person, but borrowing money from Chen Shu would make him seem too shameless. In desperation, Zhou Min took out his daily mobile phone and opened Huang Peiyi's chat box.
In addition to borrowing money, you also have to ask about the follow-up of that night.
Zhou Min said shamelessly: "Do you have money? Just lend me a million or eight hundred thousand. I'll give you a few days."
When it comes to money, Huang Peiyi, whose bank account is empty, finally loses her patience: "How can I have any money? I used up all my money to fix the mess you left behind!"
ah?
Zhou Min thought that he had only knocked out a few of the man's teeth that night. Did dental implants have to be so expensive? Could they be diamond teeth?
Zhou Min was puzzled: "In your line of work, how can you earn so little?"
Huang Peiyi was furious: "No matter how much I earn, I can't afford to mess with you like this!!! Why didn't you clean up after you did it??? You made such a high-profile mess!!! Don't you know how expensive it is to manage relationships???"
Zhou Min understood how excited the other party was at the moment from the punctuation marks Huang Peiyi sent out continuously. He finally realized that what the other party said might be somewhat different from what he thought.
Zhou Min probed: "What do you mean by the mess you just mentioned?"
Now it was Huang Peiyi's turn to be confused. How could she have the nerve to ask what the mess was? Could she have buried some other traps that she didn't know about?
Huang Peiyi probed: "What do you think?"
Zhou Min was dissatisfied: "I hate people who answer questions with questions."
Zhou Min threatened: "Open the door, I'm at your door. [smile.jpg]"
Huang Peiyi was fearless: "I'm working overtime at the company."
Zhou Min succeeded: "It just so happens that I'm still downstairs in the company, waiting for you ^-^"
-
It was rare to see people drinking coffee in the coffee shop downstairs from the company at night. Those who really needed caffeine were still working overtime upstairs. At this moment, Zhou Min and Huang Peiyi were sitting face to face in a deserted corner, looking at each other in silence.
Zhou Min couldn't help but speak first: "Is it really true that you don't have any money at all?"
No, why are we going back again? Huang Peiyi looked up at the ceiling and sighed.
"I walk to work every day now." This means I have to save money even on taking the subway.
Fortunately, I didn't choose to work in your industry. I'm so poor. After secretly complaining in his heart, Zhou Min raised his eyebrows: "Tell me, what is the mess you are talking about?"
Huang Peiyi looked Zhou Min up and down, and deduced from her calm expression that she was either a murderer without blinking an eye, or she really knew nothing.
Huang Peiyi finally came to her senses. She seemed to see a conspiracy brewing in an unknown corner.
The most urgent thing was to remove herself from this incident. Huang Peiyi straightforwardly repeated what she had overheard from Party A that day.
When Zhou Min heard the word "shot to death", her brows furrowed. When she heard "the rose was shot to pieces", she felt a chill down her spine.
After she finished retelling, Zhou Min and Huang Peiyi's eyes fell on the rose pattern on her right hand at the same time.
Zhou Min silently pulled down his sleeves and put his hands away, saying depressedly: "I didn't kill that man. I just beat him up and let him go." It's just that he was a little too heavy-handed.
It's really like when it rains it pours.
None of this seemed like a coincidence, but rather like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, ready to bite Zhou Min the moment he was off guard.
Maybe the next blow will be the fatal one.
Huang Peiyi felt nervous when she heard Zhou Min's explanation, fearing that he would drag her into the conspiracy. She quickly said, "Anyway, my money has been taken back by Party A to settle the matter with the Investigation Bureau. If you want to borrow money, you should find someone else."
After learning that Zhou Min hadn't killed the man, she even negotiated with him a bit stubbornly: "It's really difficult to get the information within three days. How about giving him a little more time?"
It would be great if I could get enough time to complete Party A's tasks, so I could just walk away. Huang Peiyi began to have wild thoughts.
Of course Zhou Min could see the change in Huang Peiyi's attitude, and he understood everything. No wonder when she was at work that day, she timidly asked him why he dared to come to work. It turned out that she was afraid of being killed by him.
Zhou Min smiled coldly and said, "Although I didn't kill that man..."
Then he casually opened a corner of the tote bag, revealing the gun barrel that was shining with a cold light.
Only Huang Peiyi could see this angle, and she did see it, and tactfully said, "Three days, right? Okay, got it, no problem."
Where's the promised strict control? Huang Peiyi was practically breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Look how nervous you are! It's just a model." Zhou Min picked up the cold milk on the table with his right hand, took a sip, and smiled brightly. "I am a law-abiding citizen of the Federation."
"Oh, yes, yes, we are all law-abiding federal citizens." Huang Peiyi agreed, but her eyes were rolling to the sky in her heart.
-
After all the effort, I still didn't get the money.
On the way home, Zhou Min mentally reviewed possible enemies. It had been almost three years since she left the organization. For the first year, she'd been a legitimate citizen, not causing any trouble. Since returning to her old job, she'd worn a disguise and gloves during missions, which essentially eliminated any enemies from that time period.
As for the people from the organization? Zhou Min automatically ignored them. They couldn't have come to her in her dreams to find someone to cause trouble for her, right?
The only people who survived in the organization were Zhou Min and Chen Shu.
Zhou Min couldn't think of any reason why Chen Shu wanted to harm him. Could it be that he was just acting on impulse and wanted to make the large sum of money she lent him go down the drain?
Zhou Qiting is more suspicious than Chen Shu.
Thinking of Zhou Qiting, Zhou Min hesitated rarely.
Having just recently ruled out the possibility that Zhou Qiting was secretly investigating him, Zhou Min couldn't understand her motives. Could it be that she was just having fun?
Hiss, it’s not impossible.
If this matter is also part of the eldest lady's game, then Zhou Min can breathe a sigh of relief temporarily. Maybe he can even use this matter to blackmail... borrow some money.
But if it wasn't the young lady who did it, he couldn't ask rashly, otherwise he would give her a loophole;
Zhou Min was suddenly in trouble.
Regardless, let's borrow the money first. Based on the speed at which the Investigation Bureau had operated, the bank account and medical accounts Zhou Min had given He Yue would be frozen in a short time.
It's a matter of urgency.
Zhou Min picked up his phone and opened Zhou Qiting's chat box. While muttering, "You owe me all this," he typed the classic opening line for borrowing money: "Are you there?"
Zhou Min didn't receive a reply until she walked into the corridor. The sensor lights lit up layer by layer. When she approached her residential floor, she suddenly smelled the scent of citron and juniper, a familiar citrus woody note.
She didn't dare let her guard down. She reached into her bag, gripped the gun handle, and walked up the steps one by one with light steps.
The door had been moved. Zhou Min had adjusted the handle before leaving, and she could see traces of it being twisted.
She bent down and looked at the crack in the door. The light was still on in the room and there was no one standing behind the door.
The eldest lady really wants to carry the word "offense" to the end.
Zhou Min laughed and opened the door with his free hand. Sure enough, Zhou Qiting was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
She saw Zhou Min coming back, but she didn't stand up. With an ambiguous smile on her face, she raised the phone in her hand with the screen on, and slowly opened her mouth:
"exist."
