Chapter 23 (2/2)
The entrance to the alley was very busy, mostly shoes
cleaning, selling fruits and vegetables and on the right side of the alley
there was a bookstore, less than ten square meters with some pirated internet
novels.
“Shh…” Liu Biao saw Zhang
Yang about to speak so he suddenly strained Zhang Yang to hush.
“What’s the matter?”
“This alley is not my territory, my territory is the
entrance of the alley. Every day I pay attention to all kinds of people and if I
meet any strange or suspicious person then my job is to immediately make a call
to inform others….”
It took forever for Zhang Yang to understand what Liu Biao
meant, originally, the alley went in about two hundred meters and had an underground
casino. And Liu Biao was responsible for monitoring the entrance, he was to
report immediately if he finds any suspicious person around or a police car.
The alley was about two hundred meters so as long as they’re informed, the
underground casino’s members had enough time to escape.
And simultaneously, Zhang Yang was also clear that this was
not an easy job. He required to work for at least fifteen hours or more every day,
more importantly, he must remember every one inside the alley including more than
hundred people living in the alley. Simply said, he should be familiar with everyone
from the alley and if he encountered any unfamiliar face then he needed to notify
inside.
“Song Tao, come here!’ Liu Biao signaled with his hand and a
guy immediately sprang out from the bookstore.
“Brother Biao, you’re so early!” That Song Tao guy gave an
ingratiating smile to flatter Liu Biao.
“Hmm, you know Zhang Yang, my younger brother (# addressing
someone younger than oneself).”
“Oh … Yang brother… How do you do?” Song Tao bowed.
“Cough … Brother Tao … How do you do?” Zhang Yang was suddenly
dumbfounded as this emaciated guy grasped to shake his hands, it felt like his
hand was basically holding a bone.
“You see today, my young brother has come and I want to
treat him dinner. So, will you go to that next door and get a stir-fried lunch
box, count on me!” Liu Biao waved his hand.
“Brother Biao, I have been watching for five hours, and my
eyes are getting blurry, hu hu …. ….”
“Don’t be fussy, I , brother Biao will not treat you
unfairly.”
Liu Biao , as if he was brus.h.i.+ng away a chicken, drove Song
Tao to the bookstore. The bookstore was just like a natural surveillance, not
only you can take shelter from wind and rain, but also a place to remain
undercover and hide your traces …..
Zhang Yang glanced at the poor “skeleton” followed by Liu
Biao, into the alley to a small restaurant and order a spicy hot pot of peanuts
with a few bottles of beer. Both Zhang Yang and Liu Biao drank up.
“Zhang Yang, Dude! It’s nice to get along with you, haha!
Just after we met Boss Xiao, someone contacted me and arranged this alley for
me and also allowed me to have five younger brothers (underlings). That guy
just now, he follows me … …” Liu Biao with a proud smile and high spirit, drank
the beer from the bottle.
“Not bad, not bad.” Zhang Yang with mouthful of food, his
face looked uninterested. The matter was mysterious but still, he didn’t want
to blend into those matters. And now, Liu Biao was close enough to board Xiao’s
journey afterwards which is really different from the past where he used to
fool around the school’s territory.
“Can you guess how much do I earn in a day now?” Liu Biao
said in a mysterious way seeing Zhang Yang uninterested.
