The Sangnia Street that Lin Yi was talking about was where he and Zhou Liang were just now.
“Of course, I won’t ask you to help for nothing.” Lin Yi said.
“I have $100 in my pocket. If you’re willing to help me, I can give this Sioo to you.”
The young man’s eyes lit up when he saw the $100 in Lin Yi’s hand.
This place was already very close to the slums. The conditions of the people living here were not very good.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to show off in front of the two girls with just a phone.
The 100 USD in Lin Yi’s hand was not a small amount to the young man.
“Are you sure that if I tell you the location, you’ll give me this $100?” the young man confirmed.
“Of course, $100 is nothing to me. There’s no need to lie to you.”
The young man was overjoyed and pointed at the road behind Lin Yi.
“Follow this road back, then turn left. When you reach the intersection, turn right, and that’s it. Now you can give me the money.”
“Wait, my Spanish isn’t good. 1 don’t really understand what you’re saying. Can you take me there?”
“How is that possible? I have more important things to do. Do you think my time is worthless?” The young man hugged the waists of the two women and said.
“No, no, no. I’ll pay for it,” Lin Yi said.
“If you’re willing to show me the way, 1 can give you an extra $50.”
“Are you sure?” The young man was a little tempted.
“Of course. I’ve already told you. I have a lot of money. $150 is nothing to me.”
If possible, Lin Yi would take out more money to tempt the other party.
However, things did not go his way. He only had about 150 dollars left in his pocket.
The young man’s eyes darted around as if he had discovered a business opportunity.
“If you’re willing to pay $150, I’m willing to take you there.”
“Deal,” Lin Yi said, “As long as you bring me to Sangma Street, the money is yours.”
“Let’s go.”
After saying that, the young man looked at his two female companions beside him. “Wait for me here for a while. 1’11 be back soon.”
“We want to go with you. It’s so boring to stay here,” her female companion complained.
“Let’s go with you.”
“It’s very dirty. It’s better if you don’t go. I promise you that I’ll be back in ten minutes. 1 won’t keep you waiting.”
“Alright then, come back quickly.”
The young man comforted his female companion and brought Lin Yi to the path behind him.
Lin Yi felt that this was really a magical country.
He could show off here with just a phone, and he was even fishing for two.
There was nothing much to say. Huaxian goods were awesome, and Huawei was awesome.
The two of them walked down the path. The young man kept sizing up Lin Yi, as if he wanted to see how much money he had on him.
However, when he reached the alley, the young man suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Lin Yi turned around. “Why aren’t we continuing?”
A smile appeared on the young man’s face. He took out a dagger from his waist and walked towards Lin Yi.
Looking at the dagger in the other party’s hand, Lin Yi realized that the style was quite novel.
It shouldn’t be used to commit crimes. It was more likely that he was carrying it around to show off.
“If you don’t want to get hurt, hand over all the money you have. I won’t hurt you.”
“Are you going to rob me?”
Lin Yi almost laughed out of anger.
“d.a.m.n it, I put in so much effort just to rob you, and now you think you can pull a fast one on me?”
“Yes, I hope you hand over all the money. Don’t make me use force; it won’t be good for you.”
“I only have S150 in my pocket, not as much as you think.”
“You’re playing me!”
“You could say that,” Lin Yi leaned against the wall and said:
“I’m interested in your phone, so how about you cooperate with me?”
“A Huaxian man daring to rob me, you’ve got some nerve!”
The young man, wielding a knife, lunged at Lin Yi.
But before the blade could reach him, he found his wrist was immobilized, unable to move.
“With those skills, you might want to go home and practice more. You’re lacking a bit.”
Lin Yi grabbed his wrist, twisted it upwards sharply, and the knife slid from the young man’s grasp. Lin Yi caught it and swiftly stabbed it into the young man’s abdomen.
The young man clutched his wound, his eyes wide with shock, not expecting such a turn of events.
But soon, he lost consciousness and fainted on the ground.
Whether he lived or died would depend on his luck.
Lin Yi took the phone from the other party’s hand and disappeared into the night, rushing to meet Zhou Liang.
With Lin Yi’s skills, even if he was on the streets, it would be easy to s.n.a.t.c.h the phone.
However, he did not want to make too much noise. He had to remain hidden at all times to ensure his safety.
“Boss, where did you go? I’ve already gotten the gasoline out. There’s probably enough left inside to drive a few kilometers.”
“I went out and knicked a cell phone. Do you remember the number from the emba.s.sy?”
“00507-8371058,1 think that’s it.” Zhou Liang said, “You can look it up online.”
“This poor guy doesn’t even have 4G network.”
“Wait, I remember there was an emba.s.sy business card in the car. Chen Qingfeng gave it to me. Let me look for it.”
In order to confirm the accuracy of the phone number, Zhou Liang searched the armrest box and found the business card.
“There’s always a way out!” Zhou Liang sighed. “As long as the call goes through, we’ll be safe.”
Lin Yi took the business card and dialed the number on it.
However, to their despair, they could not get through!
None of the three calls on the phone could be connected, and there was not even a minimal busy tone. It would automatically hang up in about half a minute.
“It’s impossible for such an important organization to have a weak signal, right?” Zhou Liang said in despair.
“It has nothing to do with the signal. It’s very likely that the surrounding signal has been blocked,” Lin Yi said in a low voice.
“The Meiguons are interfering forcefully. That’s why such a thing happened. There’s no way we can go back. It’ll also be impossible for them to send out reinforcements.”
“Son of a b*tch!”
“Okay, now’s not the time to be angry. At least we’re out of danger for now. That’s a good thing. Let’s find a place to settle down and think of something.”
“With the current situation, it doesn’t seem safe to go anywhere.”
“Not necessarily. I know a place called Cullen Sector. We can take a look there.”
“Cullen?” Zhou muttered. “I’ve heard of this place before. I think it’s a slum in Panem. I heard the place is a mess.”
“That’s exactly what we are looking for. It’s perfect for us to hide,” Lin Yi said.
“Moreover, the people living in the slums are born to hate the officials. We can use them..”
