It was already close to midnight, but the heavy rain in Qingshui City did not stop. The entire city was shrouded in the sound of rain.
On the streets of Qingshui City, there were rivers everywhere. Most places were above the knees, and there were even some low-lying places where the water could reach the thighs of an adult.
Fortunately, Qingshui City was located in Jiangnan, and it was a place with a lot of rain. The drainage system of the provincial capital was built quite well, and with the precedent of the once-in-a-century rainstorm at the end of March, the municipal secretary, Li Yifeng, focused on repairing the major drainage pipes in the city. This allowed Qingshui City to escape the disaster and not suffer the fate of being flooded again.
On the ground of Qingshui City, countless muddy streams formed, converging into small streams that flowed into the big and small rivers in Qingshui City. With the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping, they finally flowed into the Qingshui River in the north of Qingshui City.
This caused the water level of the Qingshui River to rise greatly. The waves surged, and the momentum was monstrous. It was like an angry dragon, winding forward, rushing towards the Qingshui Bay in the east.
Qingshui River, also known as the Qingshui River, was located in the north of Qingshui City. From west to east, it traversed Qingshui City. To be exact, it traversed Linjiang District.
The main city of Qingshui City had always been located on the south bank of the Qingshui River. However, in the past twenty years, with the development of the economy and the overall planning of the country and Jiangnan Province, the center of the entire city had more and more signs of moving north.
Especially in the past ten years, with the explosive growth of the real estate industry, many new large-scale buildings and new economic development zones were built on the north bank of the Qingshui River.
It was precisely because of this that Li Yifeng had the foresight to officially propose the concept of building Linjiang New City since he became the leader of Qingshui City.
Linjiang New City naturally included the original Linjiang District. It was also bounded by the Qingshui River, which traversed Qingshui City, and extended north for fifteen kilometers. The total area was more than eight hundred square kilometers.
At present, the planning of Linjiang New City had basically been completed, and it had already begun to take shape. Many state-owned enterprises and large and medium-sized enterprises in Jiangnan Province, including schools, hospitals, and so on, had already finished building their office buildings. There were even some units whose employees had already moved in and officially worked here.
Businessmen's sense of smell was the most sensitive. This was because from the northernmost part of Linjiang New City, less than eighty kilometers northeast, was China's economic and financial center, Hudong City!
Without a doubt, once the construction of Riverfront New City was completed, this would absolutely be a great political achievement for Li Yifeng!
On the north bank of Qingshui River, at the easternmost end, near the seaside, there was an open space that had yet to be developed. It was about 120 acres.
In the north of this open space, there was a green mountain. To the south was the end of the Qingshui River, Qingshui Bay. To the east was the vast and boundless East Sea. To the west was the Linjiang New Town Economic Development Zone.
There were green hills and clear waters, beautiful scenery, and traffic was accessible in all directions. It was a treasured land of Feng Shui. It was not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.
When Ling Yun's Ordinary People's Clinic opened, Li Yifeng's gift to Ling Yun was this one hundred and twenty acres of land for the construction of the medical drug research center!
Li Yifeng had always done things in a swift and decisive manner, never sloppy or sloppy. Once the land had been approved, he immediately fulfilled his promise. The city government allocated funds, and then the construction began. Now, the ground had already been broken for over a month.
Of course, it was only the ground breaking. So far, there hadn't been a groundbreaking ceremony. Ling Yun had to attend the groundbreaking ceremony. Ling Yun was so busy that he didn't even have time to look at the blueprints. How could he have the time to attend a ceremony?
Now, on this construction site of more than a hundred acres, there were a few rows of red brick bungalows that had just been built. The bungalows were new, and even the cement between the bricks hadn't dried yet.
Anyone who had seen the construction site would know that these red brick bungalows were built for the construction workers to live in.
The sound of the rain was loud, and the rainwater flowed down the flat roofs of the bungalows, forming a white curtain of water. Then, it formed a turbid stream of water on the ground, flowing everywhere.
At the easternmost end of the last row of red brick bungalows, in an inconspicuous bungalow.
Under the dim yellow light, there were seven or eight construction workers, most of them shirtless. Only two or three of them were wearing cheap T-shirts or shirts bought from street stalls. They were sitting around a small round table, playing cards.
"Jin Hua, I won!"
A boorish and excited roar rang out. A tall and sturdy young man with a bare upper body, revealing his bronze-colored muscles, was beaming with joy. He had won more than two hundred dollars in this round, and it was just enough to turn the tables on him.
The one who lost was a small foreman around the age of thirty-five or thirty-six. With one look, one could tell that he was someone who had been doing manual labor all year round. His muscles were very strong.
His luck was really bad tonight, and he kept losing money. After much difficulty, he finally got a good hand, but he lost more than two hundred dollars to his opponent. This round was equivalent to two days of his salary.
Looking at the muscular young man's smug expression, the small foreman's face was frighteningly gloomy. He turned his head to look at a wooden bed by the door and shouted at the person lying on the bed, "Li Jun, are you f * cking hatching eggs on the bed? Are you playing or not?! "
Li Jun, who was lying on the bed, looked extremely ordinary. He belonged to the type that would be lost in a crowd. Looking at his face, one could tell that he was a taciturn, simple and honest person.
Li Jun was silent for a few seconds before replying, "Engineer Wang, I really don't know how to play cards …"
Engineer Wang was obviously anxious to find fault with him. He slammed the table and stood up abruptly, scolding Li Jun, "Bullsh * t. You've been here for more than a month. Even if you watch every night, you should know how to play by now. How dare you say you don't know?!"
Li Jun fell silent again. He lay on the bed without moving. After a long while, he said, "Engineer Wang, I really don't know how to play. Besides, even if I did, I don't have the money to play."
Li Jun was speaking the truth. Engineer Wang's condition for taking him in was to provide food and lodging. He would also be given a symbolic five hundred dollars a month to buy some daily necessities.
However, Engineer Wang was unforgiving despite knowing this. "F * ck, didn't I just give you five hundred dollars yesterday? You didn't buy anything, and you still say you don't have the money?! "
Everyone laughed. Although they knew that Engineer Wang was deliberately venting his anger on Li Jun because of his loss, no one cared. This was because Li Jun was just too simple and honest. Furthermore, his background was unknown, making him a target for everyone to bully.
Li Jun said quietly, "Engineer Wang, I still have use for this money …"
Engineer Wang became even angrier. "Bullsh * t. You got your salary yesterday, but you didn't go when I asked you to drink. Now that I asked you to play cards, you won't play. It's only five hundred dollars, what's the use of it?!"
Li Jun didn't say anything. His eyes stared at the calendar on the bedside in silence.
This was a kind of silent resistance, but it made Engineer Wang even angrier. He suddenly got up, pushed aside the workers beside him, and walked to Li Jun's bedside in a few steps. He grabbed the calendar on the bedside and threw it outside the door.
"Look, look, look. You only know how to stare at this calendar all day. This isn't even your wife, so why are you staring at it? Come and play cards with me! "
Li Jun finally raised his head to look at the angry Engineer Wang. It was an extremely strange look.
"Engineer Wang, I'll be leaving the construction site tomorrow. I hope we can part on good terms …"
Engineer Wang was stunned by Li Jun's strange look, but when he suddenly heard that Li Jun was leaving the construction site tomorrow, he was instantly enraged. He mocked in disdain, "Oh, I was wondering why you weren't working properly today. So you want to leave? You came here to earn a month's worth of money, and you want to leave just like that? Not a chance! Get up and play cards with me! "
As he said that, Engineer Wang grabbed Li Jun's arm, wanting to pull him up from the bed.
Engineer Wang was still cursing. "Damn it, you can leave if you want, but you have to lose all five hundred dollars tonight!"
Seeing that Engineer Wang's hand was about to grab Li Jun's arm, who knew that Li Jun, who had been lying on the bed, would raise his arm. With a light flip of his wrist, he grabbed Engineer Wang's wrist.
"Engineer Wang, don't go too far!"
Engineer Wang only felt a sharp pain coming from his wrist, as if it had been clamped by a pair of steel pliers. Instantly, his entire arm went numb!
He turned pale with fright. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that this usually honest Li Jun, who couldn't even make a fart out of three kicks, would dare to touch him. Furthermore, he didn't expect Li Jun to have such great strength!
"F * ck, you dare to f * cking hit me?!" Engineer Wang was enraged.
"What?! He dared to hit me?! "
The seven or eight people who were playing cards with him were all from the same hometown as Engineer Wang. How could they not stick together? When they heard that Engineer Wang had been hit, they all left their seats and surrounded him with unfriendly expressions.
Especially the well-built young man who had won the money. He was not polite to Li Jun. "Damn it, you dare to hit my Brother Wang. Are you f * cking tired of living?!"
Li Jun was surrounded by seven or eight people on the bed, but he didn't panic at all. He didn't even lift his eyelids. He only smiled faintly. "I'm not tired of living. It's you guys who are."
"You're asking for it. Beat him up!"
The well-built young man had a fiery temper. When he saw Li Jun boasting shamelessly, he immediately flew into a rage. He lifted his leg and kicked Li Jun on the bed!
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, Li Jun lifted his right leg lightly and kicked at the young man's calf at lightning speed!
"Ah!" After a miserable cry, the well-built young man staggered backward and then fell to the ground with a thud!
Li Jun didn't have any intention of stopping. He grabbed Engineer Wang's right hand and lightly pulled. Then, with a push, Engineer Wang was thrown out of the bed!
Li Jun used the momentum to bounce up. With a wave of his hand, he pushed the three workers who were standing by the bed to the ground. Then, he got off the bed and stood barefoot on the cold and wet brick floor.
In less than ten seconds, five people were on the ground. The other three didn't even have time to react before they were scared silly.
"This …"
Li Jun didn't care about their reactions at all. He just bent over and put on his jacket. Then, he put on his cloth shoes.
"Engineer Wang, no matter what, thank you for taking me in during this period of time. Today, we're even."
With "Li Jun's" occupation, not killing Worker Wang would indeed be considered to be a clean slate.
After finishing his sentence, "Li Jun" glanced outside the door. Not far away from the door, in the heavy rain, there was already an additional person standing quietly.
"It's been three months."
"Yes."
"Let's go?"
"Let's go!"
After exchanging a few words with the person outside the door, Li Jun walked calmly into the rain. Soon, the two figures disappeared into the vast rainy night.
How was this Li Jun? These were the two Yellow-ranked assassins who failed to assassinate Ling Yun at Tiger Cliff on Dragon Mountain three months ago and were instead restrained by Ling Yun!
Li Yi and Jiao Fei! (To be continued.)
