"Let me put it this way, there is a high possibility that I have been targeted by someone. Do you have any way to let me leave the city without anyone noticing?" Li Mu asked Bai Tao.
"Li Mu, what did you do wrong? It's really hard for me to help you if you don't tell me. Is it related to your sudden wealth?" Bai Tao was suspicious.
"Haha, even if that's the case, Lao Bai, you have been in this world for so many years, there must be a way, right? As long as you can help me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"Well... you didn't tell me that when you asked me to do something for you. You have to pay extra for this."
"No problem, money is not a problem." Li Mu waved his hand. To him, money has never been taken seriously. As long as he is still alive, he will earn back those worldly things sooner or later. Besides, if he finds a way to get out, Bai Tao will definitely be absorbed into Lingxiao Palace by him. Then, won't Bai Tao's money be his too?
"That's good, Old Li. I won't ask what crime you have committed. You just want to leave the city secretly. I have many ways to do it, but the price will be different depending on the safety." Bai Tao said here and looked at Li Mu.
"I want the safe one. Price is not an issue!" Li Mu said without hesitation.
"Haha, okay, 800,000. Give me 800,000 and I'll do it for you right away!" Bai Tao laughed.
Li Mu didn't waste any words. Just as he was about to transfer the money, he was stopped by Bai Tao: "Don't worry, such a large amount of money entering my account will definitely be checked. I need cash."
Li Mu had no choice but to nod and agree: "Okay, but I can only give you the cash later."
"No problem, Li Mu. I believe that you have just arrived in this world, and you still have the bottom line of a strong man, and you will not deceive me." Bai Tao smiled and said, "Let's eat first, and I will take you out of the city after dinner."
Next, the three of them quickly finished all the food on the table. Li Mu paid. Wow, a full 720,000. He couldn't help but complain in his heart that Bai Tao was really daring to order. This was 720,000 Chaos Stones! It was enough to buy several universes in the Qiongzu Universe.
Fortunately, Bai Tao adheres to the principle of keeping a low profile. He always books a private room when dining in high-end restaurants and never enters through the main door, thus not attracting the attention of other diners and avoiding a lot of trouble.
Because they ate too much, the three of them rested for a while. Taking advantage of this time, Bai Tao sublet the begging spot he rented for 4,000 yuan a day. Then the three of them sneaked out of the restaurant.
After leaving the restaurant, Li Mu, relying on his tens of thousands of years of experience, quickly discovered several suspicious people secretly following him. It seemed that Shengtian Academy was indeed a little worried and had sent people to monitor his whereabouts.
Li Mu didn't care about this at all. In his opinion, these people's tracking experience was still too immature. After using some small tricks, Li Mu and his two companions shook off all the followers.
Then, under the leadership of Bai Tao, the three came to a dilapidated courtyard. Li Mu was no stranger to this courtyard. It was the place where he rested on his first day in this world. It was the residence of a big boss of the Qiongzu universe named Cao Quan.
At this time, the gate of the courtyard was also opened from the inside. It seemed that Bai Tao had already talked with Cao Quan, and Cao Quan had been waiting at home for a long time.
Seeing Li Mu, he was slightly startled and frowned, "Little brother Li Mu, why are you dressed like this?"
Before Li Mu could reply, Bai Tao spoke first: "Hey, Lao Cao, now is not the time to talk about this, let's talk about business."
Cao Quan didn't think much after hearing this. He welcomed Li Mu and the other two into the courtyard, closed the door, and then said to Bai Tao in a deep voice, "Tell me, what are you planning?"
"Hehe, it's like this. Lao Li offended a powerful person in the city a few days ago. He was afraid that he would retaliate against him, so he wanted to leave Jianyang City."
"And then? Are you calling me back in a hurry or are you here to say goodbye to me?"
"Haha, that's not the case. We're here because we need your help. The dignitaries that Lao Li offended are not small-time dignitaries. He's afraid that the city guards have been bribed. If he leaves the city in a conventional way, he will definitely be exposed, so..."
"Do you want him to leave in our union's car?" Cao Quan asked suspiciously.
"Haha, Brother Cao is really smart. It's easy to talk to smart people." Bai Tao complimented.
"Impossible. Only internal personnel can ride in our union's car. Although Li Mu has registered with the union, he has not joined it after all. Moreover, even if he joins now, there is still a month of probation. It is against the rules to let him ride in our car now!" Cao Quan flatly refused.
"Well... the rules are dead and the people are alive! We are all from the same hometown, so we should help if we can. Besides, Li Mu said that he is willing to pay for the ticket. 100 yuan is ok, right?" Bai Tao said.
Cao Quan shook his head upon hearing this: "If it was just a simple ride, it would be fine, but Li Mu has offended someone and is trying to escape. I cannot let the union be in danger."
"Hey, Lao Cao, why are you so pedantic? Don't you know our car? Who would notice if you let Li Mu get in the car?"
"Even if there is a slight possibility of discovery, I cannot do this. This concerns the interests of hundreds of thousands of members of our branch. I am not qualified to make this decision."
"Then increase the money. Li Mu will increase the money for you, okay? You name a price." Bai Tao said. Didn't he know Cao Quan's character? He said so much just to ask for more money.
“That’s really not okay!”
…………
Ten minutes later, under Bai Tao's financial offensive, Cao Quan finally made concessions and agreed to take Li Mu on the union's car.
Li Mu paid 6,000 yuan in total for two tickets, 3,000 yuan each. After receiving the money, Cao Quan happily went to arrange a car for Li Mu.
Li Mu then asked Bai Tao, "Old Bai, what are the requirements for your union's car? Can it be safely out of the city?"
Hearing Li Mu's question, Bai Tao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely foolproof! I won't take your money for nothing."
Then he added, "Old Li, can you please pay me the fee now? Haha, if you don't mind the trouble, you can just write me a check."
Hearing Bai Tao asking for money, Li Mu felt like he was being ripped off. He was being charged 800,000 yuan? He just bought two tickets, and he paid for them himself, and they charged him 800,000 yuan?
However, in order to stabilize Bai Tao, Li Mu did not show any doubt or dissatisfaction, but said calmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you the money after we leave the city. It's not convenient for you to hold 800,000 cash now, right?"
Bai Tao agreed when he heard it. Although the maximum denomination of banknotes was 1,000 yuan per piece, 800,000 yuan was 800 pieces. It was indeed a bit too high-profile for a beggar like him to wander around the city with so much cash.
