It was an ordinary morning, the sky was bright and the streets were busy with cars. Because it was still early, most of the shops in this row that were not facing the street had not yet opened. Occasionally, passers-by pass by.
Fan Jia had long hair draped over her shoulders and was wearing a beige jacket, an autumn skirt, and a scarf. She stood on the street corner, looking around blankly and rubbing her hands from time to time.
No matter how you look at it, they all look like inexperienced female college students.
At this intersection, there were at least three points where police were lying in ambush, watching Fan Jia's progress through binoculars and communicators.
You Mingxu and Yin Feng stayed in an undecorated shop on the second floor, looking out through the glass. Occasionally, Fan Jia would raise his head and give them a faint smile. Only then did she vaguely resemble the lively and capable policewoman she usually is.
After waiting for about half an hour, a man appeared from the other end of the street and walked towards Fan Jia. Fan Jia acted slightly nervous and expectant, holding her canvas bag tightly in her hands and raising her feet slightly.
Even when the man passed by her and seemed not to be the one she was waiting for, she still looked anxious and disappointed and continued to look around.
Xu Mengshan muttered into the communicator so that everyone could hear: "Perfect acting skills."
The corners of Fan Jia's mouth quickly curled up, then drooped again, as if he was tired of waiting. He lowered his head and kicked the garbage on the side of the road, looking extremely depressed.
"Are you Fan Lingling?" The man actually came back with a smile on his face.
Fan Jia quickly raised his head: "Yes, I am! Are you...Brother Apple?"
The man smiled and nodded. The moment he saw Fan Jia's face up close, a bright light flashed in his eyes.
Fan Jia also looked at him.
He is known as "Apple Brother" because many college students come to him for loans in order to buy Apple phones. Fan Jia also imagined that this kind of people must have pointed chins and monkey cheeks, and a sinister look. But I didn't expect that he was a handsome and shy man. Brother Apple is nearly 1.8 meters tall, but rather thin, with a fair face, curved eyes with a smile, and he wears a pair of glasses. He was wearing an ordinary down jacket and jeans, looking like a young college senior who was inexperienced in the world.
According to information available to the police, this "Apple Brother" had only graduated from Huaicheng University three years ago.
"Are you also a student at Huaicheng University?" Apple asked curiously, "Why haven't I seen you before?"
Fan Jia looked embarrassed: "I'm from the Chinese department, and I usually stay at home..."
Apple brother gave an understanding smile, as if he was afraid that the other party didn't believe him, so Fan Jia took out his student ID and handed it to him. Apple brother took a look, nodded, and gave it back to her, saying, "It's not that I don't trust you. It's because Xiaowei introduced me that I'm willing to lend you the money. We're all acquaintances, and Xiaowei is my brother. It's hard to borrow money outside now, and everyone is short of funds. Because we're acquaintances, Xiaowei talked to me for a long time before helping you. So I'm relieved to see your student ID."
Fan Jia cursed in his heart, but his face showed a grateful expression, and he nodded quickly: "Thank you, Brother Apple, thank you!"
"My car is parked over there, please take my car," he said.
Fan Jia hesitated for a moment and nodded.
There was a white Buick parked on the side of the road, looking quite inconspicuous. The two got in the car, and Fan Jia sat straight, his body very stiff. Apple brother seemed to see her nervousness and said, "Don't be afraid, I provide formal loans here, and the interest rate is very low. I don't make much money from this, I just want to help my juniors who want to start their own businesses. Have a drink of water."
He handed her a bottle of mineral water. Fan Jia was overjoyed when she saw it, and said to herself: There is something in there, something! Unscrew it and take a few big gulps. As a result, the car had been driving for more than ten minutes and she was still fine. Obviously this is just a bottle of ordinary mineral water.
"Why do you want to borrow money?" asked Apple.
Fan Jia answered quietly and very weakly: "Start a business."
Apple brother smiled and said, "Come on, junior sister."
If Fan Jia didn't know the background of these campus loan scorpions, he would have felt that the person in front of him was quite gentle and kind. Think about those real college students who were treated so kindly by him along the way, and who kept talking about entrepreneurship, formality, and human relations. I'm afraid they had already drunk the bowl of magic potion and easily believed these lies.
Especially those female college students who are in financial distress and under great pressure. It would be easy for them to feel good about this "senior" and let down their guard.
Tsk tsk, I've only heard of beautiful venomous snakes. It will surely be very exciting to see this gentle senior take off his mask and spit out his snake tongue one day.
About twenty minutes later, the car arrived near a home decoration city. Fan Jia looked somewhat puzzled, but didn't dare to ask. Apple parked the car and opened the door for her very gentlemanly, saying, "The big brother who lent us the money has a lot of business. Half of the storefronts in this furniture city belong to him, and his business is very big. So he also works here every day, so it's convenient for me to take care of him."
Fan Jia: “Oh…”
However, they did not go to the home furnishing city, but to a street with shops next to it. Fan Jia took a look and saw that due to its remote location, most of the shops were unattended and business seemed to be very slow. But she pretended not to understand and followed him to a door.
The white rolling door was closed, with no house number or sign. Brother Apple whispered, "This is Brother Li's warehouse. He is very busy with his business and has a tight schedule, so he came here to meet us and lend you money. Be smart and show your eloquence and social skills. If Brother Li has a good impression of you, he might even recruit you to his company in the future."
Fan Jia woke up from a dream and nodded a few times stupidly.
Brother Apple still looked gentle and experienced. He took out the key and opened the rolling door. As expected, there were a lot of cardboard boxes piled up in front of me, and I had no idea what was inside. Brother Apple took her up a narrow and dark staircase with white walls and a concrete floor. As Fan Jia followed him, she thought, "He has evil intentions towards me, evil intentions!" She knew that her brothers in the police station had followed her and were watching her from the dark, some near and some far away. Every word of bullshit said by this "pimp" would only make the criminal police laugh at him.
The second floor was actually quite presentable, with several desks placed there. A middle-aged man with sparse hair, almost bald, was sitting at a table. Upon hearing the noise, he simply raised his head dignifiedly and continued to look through the documents. Next to him was an ashtray with a half-smoked cigar.
Brother Apple led Fan Jia over and said, "Brother Li, this is a junior sister of mine. She has been short of cash recently and wants to start a business. She wants to borrow some money from the company. Her entrepreneurial project is quite good..." Brother Apple glanced at Fan Jia, with a look of intimacy and understanding in his eyes, "Brother Li, I know her project quota is very small, and you rarely approve it now. Can you please be flexible for my sake?"
Fan Jia immediately smiled obediently: "Hello, Brother Li, thank you for your help!"
Brother Li glanced at her, slowly put down the documents in his hand, and picked up his cigar: "Sit down."
