C252 (1/2)
About forty kilometers away from the Anlan City center, a silver car stopped by the side of the road. After getting off the highway, he found that the road was covered with mud. Dust was flying everywhere, and both the tires and the rear part of the car were covered with a layer of yellow soil.
The door opened, and the first thing to appear was a pair of thin red heels. Her slender white ankles were at the hem of her skirt. She was wearing a long, loose skirt with the edge of a lotus leaf, and a small white coat. The woman was wearing a mask and sunglasses.
She chose such a remote place to meet because she was afraid of meeting someone she knew. And here, even though it was also located at the Anlan City, it seemed more like the point of intersection between urban and rural areas. All the people in the alleyway were shaking hands with each other. There were mahjong sounds or laughter coming from downstairs through the iron gate. The few old people sitting at the entrance saw her dressing up and looked at her a few times.
They made their way through the alley and up the three flights of stairs, then stopped in front of a dilapidated candy store.
This is the place. She glanced at the sign placed at the entrance of the shop. It was dirty to the point of turning black, and the words on it were unclear. But it didn't matter, as long as it was secret enough, then everything was fine, since they wouldn't stay long.
”Sister He!” The moment he stepped into the restaurant, the man sitting at the furthest table waved his hand and called out.
She immediately lowered her hat to ensure that it was properly covered before quickly walking over. She sat down and berated in a low voice, ”Didn't I tell you not to call me by my real name?”
When they contacted each other last night, they made an agreement not to say her real name. Although the place she chose was rather remote and outrageous, just in case, she had to make sure everything went smoothly before she could relax.
She put the bag in her hands on her lap and looked at the table. It was greasy, dirty, and exuded a strong rancid smell. She really didn't understand why anyone would come here to eat.
”I know, isn't this too exciting!?” Where's the money? ” However, the man didn't mind at all as he leaned his elbows on the table. His voice carried a thick accent, and in one hand, he held a cigarette butt that was about to burn out.
”Pinch the cigarette. The password for this card is six eight. Tell your brother, everything is inside, don't look for me again! ” Helian Di used one hand to cover his nose and took out a bank card from his handbag. He was about to pull a tissue with his white fingers, but he let go of the paper towel the moment he touched the table, then lowered his head and took out his own paper.
”Alright, alright, alright. I understand …” The man took the bank card and quickly stubbed out his cigarette. He grinned as he picked up his phone and looked at Helian Di as air.
Helian Di took off his mask and hat only after he got into the car.
Finally, the matter was settled. A few days ago, the two brothers had always been urging her to ask for money, but due to a variety of reasons, she could not get rid of them. Moreover, she would definitely not let another person know about this matter, so she only sneaked out after telling Helian Xun that she wanted to visit her friends this afternoon.
He started the engine and drove away. After going up the high speed road and heading towards the Anlan City area, Helian Di turned on the audio system and played a few fast track European and American songs, revealing a sly smile on his face.
She never thought that Xiang Qicheng was so easily deceived.
