Chapter 72: If you can’t tell, trust me
Zhai Da did not take care of the follow-up, but handed it over to Wu Yue.
The plan was simple: Lu Benqing picked up 500 yuan and then tested his humanity.
He can choose to catch up with Wu Yue and return the wallet.
You can also choose to use this as start-up capital, find a job and start a new life.
Or...reward yourself.
Facts proved that Lu Benqing's humanity could not stand the test, and he even took a taxi away.
Wu Yue will follow and try to start the second order of his "City Hunter" career.
Zhai Da only paid five hundred yuan.
But if five hundred yuan can find Lu Benqing a home, he is willing to support him for a long time.
Isn’t life a way to retire?
Zhai Da had to admit that Wu Yue was a very nice guy and helped solve a big problem.
And there's something.
In a small room in Sanmao Community, Zhai Da was doing his homework at his desk, while Lu Wei was still sitting in her "little prison", reading quietly facing Zhai Da.
Both of them had taken a shower, and the room was filled with warm steam and fragrance. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it was late at night at home, so Lu Wei was only wearing loose shorts and a short-sleeved shirt.
Even though the collar of his short-sleeved shirt was very high and his shorts were close to his knees, Zhai Da would still be distracted for 0.1 seconds when he turned his head occasionally.
Suddenly, the copycat phone on the table vibrated. When Zhai Da saw the words "Wu Yue", he immediately turned it over and put it away.
It’s better not to let Lu Wei know about this.
She may not be able to correctly judge Lu Benqing because of her "alexilic disorder", but Zhai Da is very clear that this person is beyond saving.
If there was, it should not be Lu Wei or anyone else who saved him, but Lu Benqing himself.
Looking at the time, it was already twelve o'clock. Ms. Yu, who had been very busy recently, had already gone back to her room to sleep. Zhai Da said to Lu Wei, "How about we stop here for today?"
Lu Wei raised her head, with a hint of doubt in her big eyes. The night had just begun for them after they often learned something.
But still said: "Okay... Then I'll go back."
Zhai Da waited until Lu Wei left before opening his phone. Wu Yue had only sent four words: "Closing the net successfully."
He was a little surprised. The speed was too fast. He thought Wu Yue would need to observe for a few days first.
So Lu Benqing was sent back as soon as he came out?
Zhai Da wanted to call Wu Yue back immediately, but then he remembered that the wall between him and Lu Wei was as thin as paper, so he took his phone and went out.
Go to the rooftop.
The summer night was slightly cool, the moon was dim and the stars were sparse. Even the lights in Dongyang were dim at this time.
There is no nightlife in small towns, and of course in bulk provinces, there is no nightlife in cities either.
Some later said that the reason why the bulk provinces were able to lead the nation economically despite having no first-tier cities or capitals was largely because the people in those provinces went to bed early...
I save all my energy for work.
"How's the situation over there?"
Wu Yue: "Everything is normal. Guess where I am? Across from the Changjing Road Police Station, where we first received our reward. The gambling den Lu Benqing went to is still within their jurisdiction. Even the uncle in the hat smiled when I saw him."
The gambling den is different from the Little Red House, the latter is somewhat
tacit agreement.
The former is the pure target of attack, and is more covert, and all the achievements are real.
I served two in a row without any trouble. Isn’t it great?
Of course, it is not ruled out that he saw Lu Benqing smile.
"You weren't discovered?"
"That can't be possible. I'm familiar with the place. This gambling den is small, and they only took six people. The stakes aren't high either. I estimate the prize money to be around two to three thousand. I'll give you a share later."
Zhai Da: "No need, I'll give them all to you."
Zhai Da felt no burden to take another sum of money, but this time Wu Yue helped him a lot, and he was the only one who did everything from coming up with ideas to execution and even taking risks.
Wu Yue was unwilling to do so. "No, that won't work. The clue you provided is great. I feel like it's a long-term meal ticket. Those guys from the Little Red House were arrested once, and their wives have to come and get them. I guess they'll turn over a new leaf soon, but these gamblers won't change easily."
"I've memorized a few of their faces. Dongyang County isn't that big, so I'll give them a justice package if I see them again."
Zhai Da thought this was a bit too cruel...so he said:
"Then you, Lu Benqing, please keep an eye on him for me. It's good enough for him to come out and bask in the sun every two weeks."
"I'll try my best to help your friend create a good study environment before the college entrance examination."
After finishing the conversation, Zhai Da suddenly realized that sometimes it only takes a moment for people to leave school and enter society.
As a result, Zhai Da, who now devotes most of his energy to school and study, feels that he and Wu Yue are from two different worlds.
Zhai Da exhaled: "Have you really decided? You don't want to study anymore?"
Wu Yue could be heard sipping water. "There are only a few dozen days left. What am I supposed to learn?... Wait until my dad calms down in a couple of days. He'll go to school and talk to the teacher."
Zhai Da: "You should know that my grades have improved rapidly recently. If you are willing to repeat the year, I guarantee that you can go to a junior college or even university next year."
As long as the [Old Man TV] is used properly, both Fan Junwei and Wu Yue can be of help.
Even if he went to college and left this [equipment] to a friend, he would not object.
A few kilometers away, Wu Yue was standing in a convenience store opposite the Changjing Road Police Station.
The shop owner was watching TV, which was broadcasting a special program on Bulk TV about the new 2008 regulations.
He never fully understood it from the beginning, even when he was a student.
Wu Yue drank a sip of iced black tea from a large bucket, staring blankly at the TV, and said:
"I don't know when I stopped studying. I don't blame anyone else. It's just that I'm playful, lazy, and lack self-discipline..."
"You know, when it comes to studying, you can't blame anyone."
"But when I found something that could suppress my playful heart, allowing me to get up early and stay up late, be self-disciplined, and enjoy it..."
"If it's not illegal or shady... I think it's a very valuable thing. Maybe everyone's opportunities are different... If I meet the right one for me, I want to seize it."
On the rooftop, Zhai Da was silent for a long time.
The soul of an adult made him instinctively want to persuade.
But the young people's empathy made him happy for Wu Yue.
So thousands of words turned into a reminder
"Remember, safety first, obey the law. I can't do things for you, but I can help you with your thinking. If you don't understand something, you can talk to me."
Wu Yue smiled happily, hoping that his brother could understand him.
Also for my unsteady heart, I finally found a small fulcrum.
"Don't worry, I'm a hunter and will never become the prey."
When saying this, the store owner glanced at Wu Yue.
This little brat... he must have been so stupid from watching cartoons... he's just memorizing lines...
Cartoons really ruin the younger generation.
Suddenly, Zhai Da felt the rooftop door behind him open.
Turning around, Lu Wei opened the door and came to the rooftop.
After taking a shower, her hair was no longer in a ponytail, but long, and was blown like a shawl in the evening breeze.
The loose short-sleeved shirt and shorts were also fluffy and swaying, even revealing a hint of a flat belly.
Zhai Da hung up the phone and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Wei looked at Zhai Da carefully with her calm little face.
After a while, he managed to utter: "Teacher Yu loves you..."
Zhai Da: ...
"You did very well in the exam... I will also work harder..."
Zhai Da couldn't bear it any longer and poked Lu Wei's smooth forehead with two fingers: "What are you thinking about!"
It’s as if I would jump off a building just because I got 132 points in math!
Lu Wei was pushed and shaken by the fingers. She was too thin.
But he did not give up. Instead, he stepped forward, grabbed Zhai Da's hand, lowered his head and said nothing.
It was as if... he was really afraid that Zhai Da would try flying without wings, even if the possibility was one in ten thousand.
Beneath the seemingly calm expression, no one can tell the anxiety in his heart.
Zhai Da sighed and helped Lu Wei pull the corner of her clothes to expel the cool breeze that was running through her collar so as to prevent it from taking away the girl's body temperature.
Her tone was soft and calm. "How could I be so crazy? Besides, there's no reason..."
Lu Wei lowered her head: "I can't tell... so I'm scared..."
She couldn't tell which was a joke and which was sincere, and she couldn't tell whether Zhai Da was still in distress.
She couldn't tell what kind of emotions she was feeling, but she knew...she didn't want anything to happen...
Zhai Da patted Lu Wei's thin arm and said, "If you can't tell, just trust me."
Lu Wei bit her lip and nodded.
Feeling the coldness of the girl's hands, Zhai Da no longer hesitated and pulled Lu Wei downstairs.
The night wind no longer howled, the lights were dim and distant, and the only sound in the stairwell was the clacking of two people's slippers.
And two very long, but blending shadows.
"I decided to tell you that your dad is out."
"Um..."
“Then he went back in.”
"Um..."
"Aren't you curious about what's going on?"
“I trust you…”
"That includes this kind of thing."
"Anything including..."
"Then look at the legs."
Lu Wei stopped and rolled up her loose trouser legs.
"I'm kidding...Mashiro...I mean Mamoto!"
