"Mom, the rain seems to have stopped."
The boy curled up in bed, raised his head slightly, and looked at the poster that sealed the window, which was gradually let go by the howling wind.
The originally dense sound of raindrops seemed to have gradually slowed down and disappeared outside the window.
"Um."
The mother sitting on the bed glanced at the window and nodded slightly. Then she turned her head and looked at the haggard cheek of the boy next to her, "You worked all night last night, go to bed early."
"Um,"
The boy nodded slightly, then hesitated, picked up the bracelet, and clicked on the speech video again.
The mother watched the boy's movements and said nothing. Instead, she quietly stared at the boy's thick bags under his eyes and his bloodshot eyes.
After a long time, she said slowly, "Jielin, please stop working the night shift. Your health is getting worse."
"No way,"
The boy stared at the bracelet and shook his head, "The night shift salary is 1 federal dollar higher. The extra money can be used to buy better medicine for you. Mom, didn't we say we won't mention this?"
The woman sitting on the bed opened her dry, cracked lips.
In the end, she couldn't say any more words.
The boy exited the speech interface, put down his bracelet, then raised his head and glanced at the bread and hot water already placed by the bedside, "Remember to eat."
He huddled under the quilt, turned his back to his mother, and whispered, "Good night."
"Good night."
Zhaojia looked down at the boy who was leaning sideways and responded softly.
She raised her head and moved her eyes towards the window sealed by the poster, and bright sunlight faintly filtered in from the faded poster.
There was a slight sound of movement beside him.
The boy with his back to her turned over, faced her, lowered his head, curled up in the quilt, and said softly, "Mom, will life get better?"
"It will be fine."
The weak woman reached out her hand, gently wrapped her arms around the boy, and hugged him into her arms.
The bright sunlight now passed through the narrow gap at the edge of the poster, shining into the dark and damp cabin, stretching into a long ray of light on the old bedding.
——
The brilliance of the scorching sun spread over the earth bit by bit, and now in the low-rise block to the north, in an area in the middle of Ningwis District, black cars gradually stopped at a dilapidated intersection.
"Mr. Levis, here we are."
Following the reminder from the lawyer sitting in the front row who turned around, Levis turned his head and looked out the side window.
An old fast food restaurant appeared in his sight.
He raised his head and looked at the neon sign at the door of the fast food restaurant with several letters missing.
‘Old Vic’
He looked at the name of the store and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He lowered his head and glanced at the bracelet. Until now, he had not received any reply to the messages he had sent to several of his confidants.
If Linn could catch him, he might also have some clues about his henchmen. Now he can only hope that those guys are lucky enough.
Ever since he was released on bail, there was a vague feeling of uneasiness surrounding him, making him a little uneasy. He didn't know if it came from Lin En or something else.
Thinking of this, he held the bracelet and lowered his eyes slightly.
Lin En humiliated and threatened him last night, and he would return it sooner or later.
That guy is as crazy as he is now. He is stupid enough to start a direct war with major financial groups, and he will probably lose everything soon.
It is estimated that soon, he will see that guy stabbed to death in public with his own eyes.
At this moment, the cold gaze in the closed carriage in the morning appeared in his mind uncontrollably.
He subconsciously shrank back and tensed his muscles,
"That gentleman is waiting for you at table 5."
The lawyer sitting in the front seemed to notice something unusual about Levi in the back row, and slowly spoke to remind him.
"Thanks."
Levis came back to his senses, relaxed his tense muscles a little, then nodded slightly, opened the car door, and walked out.
It wasn't until he saw the bright sunshine outside that he breathed a sigh of relief.
I have to say that although that old guy is far inferior to the consortium, he does have great strength and means.
He is just crazy and stupid, and dares to start a war with the consortium without overestimating his own capabilities.
He took a deep breath, looked up at the sunlit restaurant ahead, and walked forward quickly.
With his brand new and clean leather boots stepping on the edge of the old pond, making a slight splash, Levis quickly arrived at the door of the Old Vic fast food restaurant.
At this moment, the light on the positioning anklet under his feet changed from green to red.
He didn't pay attention to this, but looked down at the grease on the yellow door handle of the fast food restaurant and the dried blood stains on the glass door that seemed to have been cleaned but not cleaned. Then he grabbed the door handle and pushed the door open.
Got in.
A slightly noisy sound and a somewhat dull smell greeted us. The business of this fast food restaurant didn't seem to be bad. Seventy percent of the seats in the hall were already occupied, and it was still a while before lunch time.
Levi's eyes scanned the entire restaurant and found table number 5 among a pile of broken or missing number plates.
This is a small dining table near the window of the restaurant. At this moment, this table is empty and there are no 'guests' there.
After a brief hesitation, Levis walked over and sat in front of table five.
He raised his hand, glanced at the bracelet, tightened the wristband, then raised his head again, and glanced at the scene in the entire restaurant.
At this moment, a waitress with freckles on her face brought up a hamburger and fries set meal and placed it in front of Levi's.
"Hello, this is what the customer sitting at this table ordered for you. He said he would be over soon."
"Thanks."
Levi's glanced at the set meal with Coke, burgers, fried chicken wings and French fries, nodded slightly, and watched the waiter leave.
Then he looked directly past the set meal in front of him. He did not touch the items presented to him, but carefully looked at the people around him again.
The uneasiness in my heart seemed to be getting stronger.
"It seems that the noble and wise Mr. Levis rarely comes to Ningvis District,"
A chuckle sounded in his ears, "This is what it is here, chaotic, dirty, and crazy."
Levis was slightly startled and turned his head.
When the somewhat old overalls appeared in his field of vision, he turned around and ran away without hesitation.
But halfway through, he felt his legs weaken and fell to his knees forward.
The sharp narrow knife pierced his chest from the back, and the bright yellow blood splashed all over the table next to him.
"Mr. Levis, you are indeed very cautious, but do you think nothing will happen if you don't touch the food? Food is not poisonous. The toxins are in the smell. Yes, it is in the smell you smelled when you came in.
"
The figure behind him suddenly pulled out a narrow knife, "Did you know that today Lin En almost dissolved the entire cabinet and fired most of the cabinet members?
"You gentlemen have lost almost all of your contacts and partners in city government, but the most annoying thing is that only two cabinet officials who have been unwilling to cooperate have not been fired.
"And last night, the mayor seemed to have had a chat with you alone?"
"I don't have it...I want to see..."
Levis spoke hoarsely. His trembling body struggled to move forward and escape from here. Around him, the 'guests' who were sitting and eating also stood up one by one and looked at him.
puff--
The sharp narrow knife pierced his body again and nailed him to the floor. The man behind him once again heard a slightly teasing voice,
"The superiors are very disappointed in you. I wonder if you could have predicted today's outcome with your intelligence?"
The man wearing overalls walked up to Levis, squatted down, and looked at him with a smile, "My distinguished Mr. Levis, how does power feel like? You know so much, it's better to shut up forever."
Looking at the man in overalls in front of him, Levi finally realized something.
He opened the corner of his mouth, chuckled twice, coughed out two mouthfuls of blood, "If you want to incriminate me, I should listen to him. If you kill me, you must be prepared to bear the price."
Zhi——
The slender knife was pulled out again, and then stabbed into his body.
"Noisy."
The overalls spat in disgust and stabbed the body several times until the body was bloody and bloody, and the owner of the body completely lost his voice before slowly getting up.
Blood overflowed all over the old, oil-stained floor, seeping down through the gaps between the floor tiles.
