"I don't think you're bad guys, so I want to remind you that it's best not to stay outside for too long at night." The guy in the cap said, "This place is definitely more dangerous than you think."
Xu Yun agreed, "Then we'll stay at your place tonight."
While the guy was talking, Xu Yun had already sensed many eyes staring at them in the dark. These people had quietly surrounded them.
Lin Ge was already prepared to move his fists and legs, but Xu Yun gave him a look, indicating that he should not make a big fuss and just pretend that he did not notice anything.
After all, this was a neighborhood where Chinese people lived. Xu Yun didn't want to lay a hand on these "compatriots". Even if these people weren't good people, Xu Yun still wanted to believe that these people were forced into this situation because they had nowhere else to go.
"Let's go." The guy in the cap smiled, "Don't worry, I won't charge you too much."
When Xu Yun and Lin Ge brought the Legend and followed the guy in the cap to his shabby house, they realized why the guy said that he would not charge them too much.
No one would dare to charge him in a place like this.
The room was a mess. There was a shabby two-seater sofa, and an 18-inch black-and-white TV that was considered an ancient relic in Hua Xia.
He didn't have a bed, only a blanket on the floor. Because the house was in the shade, and there was only one window, there was no way to ventilate the room, so the whole room was particularly cold. To put it bluntly, it was worse than the basement of the poor drifters in China.
At least there was a bed in the basement, but this damn place did not even have a bed.
"How can I sleep in this damp place?" The Legend frowned in disgust when he touched the bedding. He looked at the kid in disbelief. "How did you survive in a place like this?"
The guy in the cap had already noticed that the Legend was different from the other two. "I'm afraid you don't have the right to negotiate with me. You're not in a better situation than me. At least I still have my freedom. "
Xu Yun glanced at the kid in the baseball cap. He thought to himself, Although this little guy is young, his brain is quite smart. He can see things clearly.
"How do you know this guy is not as good as you?" Lin Ge could not help but laugh, "He is indeed not as good as you. You have your own little room and your own means of survival. He has nothing."
The Legend was scolded by Lin Ge directly. He did not dare to breathe loudly.
"Where are you taking this guy?" The guy in the cap asked, "You don't look like bad guys, so … this is not a kidnapping, right?"
At this point, the guy in the cap shook his head again and continued, "But this guy is wearing branded clothes from head to toe … He must be a rich man, and he must be a rich man with the unique style of Huaxia society. I don't know what's going on, but the money in his pocket can't fit."
Lin Ge smiled and nodded, "Your analysis is spot on."
"We'll hide here for a while." Xu Yun said to the guy in the cap, "How much do you want? Name a price."
The guy in the cap looked at the Legend up and down, then said to Xu Yun, "Actually, I don't need to take your money. You've already given me fifty dollars. That's a lot for me … But this guy is here. I don't want to let him off so easily."
Lin Ge glared at the Legend, "Hurry up, I'm talking to you. Take out all the money you have." Lin Ge said.
The Legend smiled bitterly, "I don't have a penny on me! I was pulled down from the third floor by you guys! I didn't have time to get money! "
"Then take this as the room fee." Xu Yun suddenly grabbed the Legend's wrist and took off his watch.
"Are you kidding me?" The Legend's eyes widened, "Do you know what watch that is? TAG Heuer Monaco V4! That was my birthday gift last year! I spent one hundred and eighty thousand dollars on it! There are only one hundred and fifty of them in the world! It must be worth more than one hundred and eighty thousand dollars now! "
"Do you really think I don't know about watches?" Xu Yun looked at the Legend with disdain, "This is indeed a limited edition. When it was released, it was only one hundred thousand dollars, right?"
The Legend was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Yun to know about luxury goods.
"This belt drive watch is called a miracle in the industry. It's not normal. It's a revolutionary belt drive and ball bearings instead of traditional gears and pinion. I think it's more suitable for people who want to take risks," Xu Yun said, "but not for you."
The Legend's heart ached!
"Since he wants to stay, he should pay the room fee." Xu Yun handed the watch to the guy in the cap, "I'm sure you can find a place to sell it for a good price."
The guy in the cap was flattered. He took the watch from Xu Yun and asked carefully, "Is this really worth one hundred thousand dollars?"
Xu Yun nodded, "Of course, it has to be worth at least that much, or even more. It depends on whether you can find someone who really knows about watches."
One hundred thousand dollars was an astronomical figure for a guy who had been living in poverty since he was a child!
In the guy's memory, he had never had more than one hundred dollars in his pocket. Even if he had, it was only for a short while.
In this place, he needed to survive. Most of the time, he didn't know what to eat next. After eating today, there was no tomorrow.
For example, if he didn't meet Xu Yun tonight, he wouldn't be able to earn fifty dollars. Tomorrow, he would have to go to the aid station to eat the food that was hard to eat. The people who went with him to the aid station might beat him up because of that!
If he was still unlucky tomorrow and couldn't make any money, he would rather starve than get beaten up for a bite of food.
Those guys were too cruel. It might take him many days to recover after being beaten up.
"I … I can't … I can't …" The guy in the cap was shocked. It wasn't that he didn't want it. He wanted it very much. There was no doubt about that!
But he knew that it was worth one hundred thousand dollars. If he had something worth one hundred thousand dollars in his hands in this place, it would be like a bomb!
Once people knew that he had something worth one hundred thousand dollars, the people here would kill him without hesitation!
Yes, it was that cruel. These people would really kill him without hesitation and then take away the watch that was worth 100,000 US dollars …
Therefore, the guy in the cap didn't dare to take such a valuable thing. It wasn't that he wasn't greedy enough, but he wasn't bold enough. He was afraid of death.
"Why?" Xu Yun asked.
The guy in the cap didn't know how to explain. He just kept shaking his head.
"I know what you're worried about, but I believe in you." Xu Yun smiled and continued, "If you can survive in this place, you must have a way to sell the thing in your hands."
"If it's only worth a few hundred dollars, I can guarantee that I can find a way to sell it and make a profit." The guy in the cap snorted, "Unfortunately, it's not worth a few hundred dollars. One hundred thousand … Hehehe, I can guarantee that 99% of the people living in this neighborhood have never seen one hundred thousand dollars in their lives."
"So what." Lin Ge said, "They haven't seen it, but it doesn't mean that you can't have it."
"I want to have it. Believe me, I definitely want to have it. Brother, I've never wanted one hundred thousand dollars as much as I do now!" The guy in the cap was a little emotional, "Do you know what one hundred thousand dollars can do? For me, for me … Hehehe, for me, there are so many things that I can do! "
He kept emphasizing "for him", which showed that he was a smart guy. He knew that different people had different thoughts when faced with the same amount of money.
One hundred thousand dollars might be a week's living expenses for a legend, but for the guy in the cap, it might be his life's dream.
It could even be said that before Xu Yun gave him the watch, he had never dreamed of having one hundred thousand dollars in his life!
