The car really sped along, flying low over this steel jungle.
Lu Yuan remained silent, while Chen Ling, standing to the side, was clearly still recovering from the shock.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Mi Tingting seemed to realize that what she had done today was really unacceptable. With a hint of apology on her face, she would occasionally glance at the two people behind her in the rearview mirror.
Finally, the car stopped inside a huge tall building.
The building looked very imposing, and Lu Yuan had no idea how many floors it had, as if he couldn't see the top.
In the middle of the building, there are some long sky bridges, and there are even quite a few mobile houses on the sky bridges.
The houses are adorned with flashing neon lights, which intertwine with the surrounding holographic projections, while many people come and go on the overpass.
The car stopped on an overpass, then its four wheels landed steadily on the ground.
"We'll be there soon!"
Mi Tingting glanced back at the two people behind her, seemingly trying to find a topic to talk about.
However, Lu Yuan didn't say anything, but directly pushed open the car door and got out of the car. Chen Ling was still looking at Lu Yuan's back with some nervousness, and after hesitating for a moment, she also got out of the car.
Seeing that the two of them had gotten out of the car, Mi Tingting had no choice but to park her car on the side of the road and follow them.
"What would you like to eat? I'll go buy it!"
Chen Ling looked at Lu Yuan with a questioning look in her eyes.
Lu Yuan shook his head: "No need! I'm just looking! By the way! I just saw a lot of things being sold here! Where do they get their food from?"
Mi Tingting had clearly been there for a long time, so she replied without hesitation, "Oh! The food here is basically supplied directly by several factories! As long as you can get a business license, you can get food here!"
"oh!"
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, he saw a group of people in the distance looking in his direction with hostile eyes.
One of the tall, thin men stared at Lu Yuan for a long time before finally walking over.
"Brother! First time here? Need to rent a place? I have a suitable place here! 100,000 yuan a month!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the other party: "One hundred thousand yuan? That's so expensive?"
The other person looked around to make sure no one else was there, then grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said, "100,000 is very cheap! And these are all proper houses! Definitely not basements!"
"Oh? A proper house? I doubt it!"
Seeing someone coming over to talk to her, Mi Tingting immediately walked over.
"We're not renting a house! We're not buying anything! You'd better leave now! Otherwise we'll call the police!"
A flash of anger crossed the other person's eyes: "What's with the arrogance! Humph! Let's go!"
After saying that, the other party left with his men.
Then Mi Tingting immediately explained, "These people are all from the black market! They're incredibly ruthless! Many of them like to make you pay in advance and then just run away! Most of them are scammers! Not many actually have anything to show for it! It's not far from where I live! Why don't you come with me?"
Chen Ling nodded: "Lu Yuan! Let's go over there! It's quite chaotic here!"
"Alright! Let's go back then! Oh, by the way! Can I borrow your phone for a second? I need to make a call!"
Mi Tingting handed her phone directly to Lu Yuan.
I picked up my phone and dialed a familiar number.
The call was answered immediately, just a few seconds later.
Hello! Who are you?
"Xiwen! It's me, Lu Yuan!"
With a look of surprise in his voice, Xiwen called out to Hanwen beside him.
"Sister Han Wen! It's Brother Lu calling!"
Han Wen immediately took the phone.
"Lu Yuan! Have you come to the city center?"
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback when he heard Han Wen's words.
How did you know?
"Because the signal strength here indicates you're in a metropolitan area! I check the signal strength of everyone who calls me every day, and I've recently learned a few tricks!"
"Well! No wonder you're from the intelligence agency, your sense of smell is too sharp! By the way! How are you guys doing now? Where are you staying?"
"We are at 122 Crown Avenue!"
"Crown Avenue?"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then turned to look at Mi Tingting: "Is Crown Avenue far from here?"
Mi Tingting thought for a moment: "Hmm! It's quite far! It will probably take about three hours to drive there!"
"Okay! I understand!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan picked up the phone again and asked, "Are you short of money right now? I'll transfer it to you! Don't make yourselves suffer!"
"Thank you so much, Lu Yuan! We don't need the money right now! You've given us a lot!"
Lu Yuan sighed. He had just learned from the black market that renting a house cost 500,000! He had only given them 1 million for travel expenses, how could that possibly be enough!
"Stop hiding it! I know everything! The living conditions here are indeed quite harsh! And there are no welfare measures whatsoever, making it even harder to find work. I'll give you another address later; you and Xiwen can come over when you have time! I'll leave you some food and money then! The factory is about to open! This is basically all the money we need! Any leads on the child's situation?"
"Okay! We still have no leads on the child! We're still searching! But I believe things will be better soon! By the way, how's the factory going? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No need! Just take care of yourselves! Don't worry about anything else!"
