C26 (1/2)
After greeting Wang Ming, I returned. I found that Qin Yue was sleeping again, but didn't sleep on the floor this time, it was on the bed. I touched Qin Yue's hair and woke her up.
I told Qin Yue that I would be out with him for a while, and estimated that it would take a while for him to give me a call. She left all her money at her place, and also prepared to move out this afternoon to stay near Wang Ming's home.
Qin Yue nodded her head, she was unhappy, there were still tears in her eyes.
I placed my hand on Qin Yue's face, telling her that after she earns enough money, she would not need to do this work anymore. In the future, she would just have to buy a house and start a small business, that would be enough for us to live.
Qin Yue lifted her head and smiled as she held my hand and told me to come back early.
In the afternoon, we moved to Wang Ming's house. It only took us ten minutes to walk.
Qin Yue is also very satisfied with the environment here, I think that it's not bad, and Wang Ming even paid a year's rent.
When night fell, I came to Wang Ming's house. He had already changed his clothes, and said that this time, it was still Lee Zhiyong, that fellow, who said that there was a trade here, but he didn't actually say that it was other people who had connected the lines in the middle of the room. Wang Ming only found out about it in the afternoon.
Wang Ming called Lee Zhiyong and set up a meeting place.
The two of them were quite polite when we met. It was as though they had forgotten what happened last time. I was stunned as I watched from the side. There really isn't an eternal friend, only eternal benefits.
Lee Zhiyong pulled me down to a seat and poured me a cup of wine. He said that he didn't expect that this time we would still be invited, and that he hadn't finished what he had done last time, so he hoped that this time's cooperation wouldn't be affected.
Wang Ming laughed sinisterly, fiddling with the blanket in his hand, he said: ”As long as the money is in place, I do not care about those things, since we have already found someone to investigate, when the time comes, we will settle our scores.”
Lee Zhiyong did not care, he said that he had not done anything yet, and was not afraid of Wang Ming going to investigate either. The most important thing was that this collaboration, had to be settled as soon as possible.
I looked at Wang Ming, he seemed a little unhappy, maybe because he is still brooding over what happened last time. But Lee Zhiyong is a veteran of the mall, he hasn't even mentioned it yet, he just took out another sum of money and placed it on the table.
Wang Ming looked at it and nodded his head in satisfaction, telling me to keep the money.
Lee Zhiyong said that the mission this time was a bit simpler than the previous one, so there was naturally less money to be paid. There was a total of eight hundred thousand dollars left over, but he still had to risk his life.
Wang Ming pushed the money back. He said that he had to clarify the matter first, if he was going to risk his life, this amount of money was not enough.
Lee Zhiyong glanced at the money, rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then pushed the money back. He said that he had to go this time, and there was already no time to look for other people, as long as we were serious, this would definitely not be a problem.
Regardless of whether we agree to it or not, Lee Zhiyong will begin to talk about what happened this time.
Outside Beijing, there was a remote mountain village where most of the families were poor and it was difficult to eat water. There was only one well in the village, and it had always been peaceful, but a while ago, a snake had gone there to prevent people from going to the well to fetch water.
The villagers were very scared and did not dare to go fetch water, so they went to the mountain to get some mountain spring water to drink. However, as time passed, the villagers became a bit impatient, as it was too inconvenient, and every time they brought home a few, they would go there every day to waste a lot of time.
The villagers found some mages and other stuff to play with for a long time, but the snake didn't leave. Furthermore, it was usually afraid of things that snakes usually feared, so it was very difficult to deal with them.
”We're all in this business. Why do you say it's dangerous?” Wang Ming frowned and asked Lee Zhiyong.
Lee Zhiyong thought for a while and said that the people who wanted to drive the snake away or kill it had all died by the well.
This money wasn't given to him by the villagers. It was given to him by a man who did scientific research. He wanted to find someone to bring the snake back so that he could study the differences between the two.
It was said that it was five meters long and as thick as a person's waist. He had never seen this snake eat before, or to be more accurate, it only ate at night, no one in the village had ever seen it.
Also, all snakes had to hibernate. At this time of the year, the other snakes had already hibernated, but this one was in good spirits and didn't have the slightest intention of hibernating. It just stayed by the well.
After Wang Ming finished listening, he paced back and forth in the private room. He was frowning, when he suddenly raised his head and asked me, ”Have you seen a snake that does not hibernate?”
Actually, snake hibernation was due to the cold weather. As long as the temperature was suitable, snake would not go to hibernate and stay awake. However, the weather was the same near Beijing. Even if the temperature was high, it was only one or two degrees.
Wang Ming picked up the money and told Lee Zhiyong that he would go take a look during this period of time, but it was not guaranteed that he would succeed.
Without caring about the attitude from the other side, Wang Ming took the money and left with me.
On the way back, Wang Ming said that there were a few things that he had to do after he returned.
First of all, go back and check which kind of snake didn't hibernate, and it had to be four or five meters long.
