In the basement of an abandoned and unfinished building, after a dull gunshot, Big Bear's big and thick body collapsed.
He had no armor skills, no cloud shield talisman, and no extraordinary skills. A small bullet pierced his head and easily killed him.
Lao Ding has killed several people in his life. Except for the first time, he has never been as nervous and frightened as he is now.
After firing the shot, he felt exhausted, his arms barely obeyed his command, and his feet staggered, making him almost unsteady.
However, Jiang Yue's words made Lao Ding, who had felt relieved for a while, suddenly become nervous again.
Jiang Yue stroked his palms and said with a smile: "Old Ding, that's good. He looks like an old murderer at first glance. This shot was so clean and neat that his hand didn't even slip. My photography skills are pretty good, right? Take a look. This video, tsk tsk, is so clear, but it’s still not as good as yours. Your killing hands didn’t even shake, so I took a video and even swiped it a little. Haha, it can’t be compared, it can’t be compared.”
Lao Ding felt that his brain was congested, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out of his throat.
He didn't understand what the other party's purpose was in taking the video.
This is obviously to leave evidence and ask him, Old Ding, to throw a rat-proof weapon.
Wrongful, depressed, frustrated, even angry.
But I still have to hold back these negative emotions and don't dare to express them at all.
Even if Jiang Yue asked him to kneel down and call him daddy, Lao Ding would never hesitate at all.
"Old Ding, why do you look a little unhappy?" Jiang Yue said deliberately.
"No... not at all. Maybe I was a little nervous after the murder." Old Ding answered with difficulty, his mouth full of bitterness.
He knew clearly that Jiang Yue was teasing on purpose, but he didn't dare to show off his face.
"You're not angry because I took the video, are you?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. My life now belongs to you, so I don't deserve to be angry. I will do whatever you want me to do."
"Haha, Old Ding, you are really a smart person compared to Big Bear. Smart people always live longer. In fact, you can think about it from another angle."
"What angle?" Lao Ding was stunned.
"I made the video, and it looks like it was to beat you and blackmail you, right?"
"But have you ever thought about it? This proves that you are still valuable and worthy of living. You should feel lucky. Otherwise, leaving one corpse here is still a place, and leaving two corpses is still a place. You are Do you want to keep him company, or do you want to go home alive and hold your wife?"
Whether you hug your wife or not, that is secondary. After hugging her for more than ten years, Old Ding no longer had any interest.
But if you still have one life left, there is still something to play in this colorful world.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that this is indeed the case.
If he was of no use, it would be effortless for the other party to kill him, Old Ding.
"I, Lao Ding, still say the same thing, whatever you want me to do, I will do it." Lao Ding expressed his stance again.
"Very good, I like smart people like you. Smart people should learn to think about problems. You should be very clear about what I want you to do."
"You...you want me to be an undercover agent?" Lao Ding asked tentatively.
"Why don't you say you are a smart person? Just one point."
"But I am a temporary worker on the official side, and I haven't even received a formal establishment now. I have no objection to being an undercover agent, but I may not be able to get any useful confidential information."
"Then you should work hard to climb up. If you don't have an establishment, work hard to get it. As long as you do well, I will never let you suffer. Maybe one day you perform well, I will be happy and give you some Good thing. When the time comes, you will transform and become an awakened person, and you will naturally climb up."
Lao Ding was overjoyed and became an awakened person?
Is there such a good thing?
"You don't believe it?" Jiang Yue asked calmly.
"No, no, no, I believe it, I really believe it. If that happens, I, Old Ding, swear that I will fight you to the end and never betray you."
But he immediately realized that the other party didn't seem to think highly of his oath.
Then he smiled and said: "I can swear in the name of my son that I will do a good job. You know, I only have a son. Although I am not a human being, I still love my son. I will never take advantage of him. Just kidding. I said earlier that I would give birth to a son without a butthole. That’s because my wife has been sterilized and it is impossible to have another son..."
Jiang Yue smiled lightly, neither agreeing with Lao Ding's performance, nor refuting it.
He never listens to verbal expressions and only focuses on practical actions.
No matter how lavish the words are, it can't compare to the actions to get things done beautifully.
He is now planting insiders on the opposite side on a large scale.
Including Mr. Zhan of that mysterious organization, who was Master Liu’s boss at the time. That was a line laid by Jiang Yue.
Director Kang a few days ago, that was a hidden line buried next to Deputy Manager Wan.
Now, Lao Ding is placed as a hidden line within the official organization.
It can be said that there are three parallel lines.
Moreover, Jiang Yue doesn't have to worry about the other party betraying him at all, unless the other party no longer wants to live. Otherwise, they would never dare to play any tricks.
And he will definitely do his best to protect his undercover identity from being exposed.
Seeing Jiang Yue's silence, Lao Ding thought that he had not expressed his position well enough, so he kept patting his chest and giving assurances, fearing that Jiang Yue would be dissatisfied.
"Old Ding, there's no need to say any nice words. There's something waiting for you to do right now."
"Okay, I will definitely do it."
"Don't you have a buyer for those milk powders? We agreed to trade at ten this morning, right?"
"Yes." Old Ding was a little confused.
This matter was a little trick that he and Daxiong came up with after discussing it. In fact, it was not an official act at all. To put it bluntly, it was a private robbery in the name of the official government.
The benefits of the transaction were completely divided between the two of them.
It was because of this incident that the subsequent series of troubles arose.
Lao Ding originally thought that this matter had long been forgotten, but he didn't expect Jiang Yue to bring up the old matter again. Listening to this tone, it seems that you want to continue trading?
What does this say?
Didn't he complain for the shop owner?
Isn't it? But the legendary black eating black?
Lao Ding didn't dare to think too much, let alone ask.
He only has one principle now, he will do whatever Jiang Yue says.
Jiang Yue looked at the time: "There are still twenty minutes until ten o'clock. How long will it take now?"
"It will take about half an hour." Old Ding made an estimate and reported a specific time.
"Let's go. It's not a big problem if you're a few minutes late."
Old Ding hesitated a little and glanced at the bear's body.
"Don't worry, no ghost will want to come to this kind of unfinished building. What are you worried about? If you are really worried, throw it under the elevator shaft."
Old Ding was really cautious and carried the big bear's body and threw it under the elevator shaft.
"With one person missing, are there any problems over there?"
"It's not a big problem. They are all temporary workers. It is quite chaotic. Some people work for a few days and stop working, and some people work and disappear. These days, who cares about a few temporary workers? As long as we provide resources, You need to recruit as many people as you want, but there aren’t even that many dogs.”
"Drive!" Jiang Yue left the driver's seat to Lao Ding this time.
Lao Ding knew that this was his opportunity to perform, but he did not dare to neglect it and drove quickly all the way.
Jiang Yue told Lao Ding to just carry out normal transactions, just like they agreed before, without any psychological baggage. After the transaction is completed, just leave on your own without waiting for him or asking where he went.
Jiang Yue then agreed with him on the place where they would meet next time.
Old Ding is a smart man and knows that Jiang Yue must have other plans, maybe he wants to follow the clues to find out the buyer's information.
Naturally, it was not his turn to worry about these things, and Lao Ding didn't want to worry about them either.
He knew his position well, that of a tool man. All he had to do was bring Jiang Yue in, and he would take care of the rest.
Lao Ding was actually curious about the origins of Jiang Yue, a young man who suddenly appeared, what his purpose was, and even more curious about why he wasn't even afraid of bullets.
Unlike the female owner of the baby store, he is relatively familiar with the strange era.
Lao Ding was no stranger to the concept of Awakened Ones. He knew that they were a group of people who had gained super powers and were far more powerful than ordinary people.
He has even seen some awakened ones.
But I haven’t heard of any awakened person who is not afraid of bullets?
"Old Ding, don't forget the time and place of the meeting. I may not be able to arrive sometimes, but you must be there every time. If I go there one time and you don't arrive, don't bother me to go to your house to look for you. you."
"Ah? I will definitely arrive, one, four, seven or three days every ten days, right? I will definitely not forget it. Even if my leg is broken, I will crawl over."
"Yes, I'm relieved now. Actually, it's okay if I don't go to your house, but it might be even worse."
Old Ding shivered again, and was silent for a moment, his eyes a bit begging for mercy.
"You don't want to suddenly burst like a balloon in front of your wife and children, do you?"
Lao Ding was about to cry and shook his head repeatedly: "Stop talking, stop talking. I promise to be obedient and I promise to be a good spy for you and collect useful information."
Jiang Yue nodded with a smile, lazily put his head in his hands, leaned back on the chair, rested his feet leisurely in front of the co-pilot, and said no more.
Lao Ding has experienced a lot in his life, but he has never thought of being like this, tortured by fear all the time.
The car was driving fast on the bumpy road. The performance of the pickup truck was average, but it was more durable. Three or four minutes after ten o'clock, the car entered the underground parking lot of a building.
The originally dark parking lot suddenly lit up with a dazzling bright light as their car entered.
Ta-ta-ta!
Footsteps came from every corner, and several big men with guns surrounded their car from all directions.
Lao Ding quickly raised his hands and shouted: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I am the seller, and I have a trading license."
Every transaction here will have a code name in advance to avoid impostors.
The code name for each transaction is temporarily determined.
This time it’s called Falcon, and the next transaction may be another code name.
"Get off the bus!" The other party did not relax his vigilance just because Lao Ding shouted out the transaction code. He pointed a gun at the car and ordered them to get out of the car.
Lao Ding had no choice but to pull the door of the truck and get out of the car.
Jiang Yue also jumped out of the car.
"Show me your permit," an armed man shouted.
Old Ding carefully took out an ID from his pocket and handed it over honestly.
After checking and confirming that there was no problem with the permit, the leader waved his hand to signal the others to leave.
"Wait here."
Old Ding nodded repeatedly as if to please.
He also knew that the buyer was very mysterious and powerful, but it didn't matter, he was just here to trade, and this buyer's reputation for transactions was still very good.
Lao Ding kept comforting himself.
Lao Ding's character was pretty good, and his acting skills were passable. He didn't deliberately look at Jiang Yue to avoid having something look wrong in his eyes and being criticized by the other party.
A few minutes later, a man in a suit, with shiny hair and gold-rimmed glasses came over led by several security personnel.
His eyes did not linger in front of Lao Ding.
Obviously, they don't know how many sellers like Lao Ding they will receive in a day. They know very well that these people are generally urban foxes and gangsters.
Such people naturally do not deserve much respect from them.
At the end of the day, this is just a deal.
However, this kind of contempt and disregard played into Lao Ding's hands. He wished he could become transparent in front of the other person.
When dealing with these mysterious guys, Lao Ding doesn't want to be remembered at all. It's the most ideal state to make a deal in one go, make two clears, and forget about each other in the world.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses ordered the people around him to unload the goods on the spot, and then began to count the supplies.
"This batch of things is fine. In a week, you will be eligible to get another trading license. I hope you will have better things next time."
The man with gold-rimmed glasses looked like a robot when facing Lao Ding and Jiang Yue, with a stiff and indifferent expression, not showing any emotion.
Of course Lao Ding knew that the other party looked down on him, and he didn't care.
"Do you want money, gold, or body-tempering liquid?" As trading gold, the man with gold-rimmed glasses gave three options.
"I need body tempering liquid!" Old Ding almost blurted out.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "I did some calculations. These things you have can be exchanged for 1000 ml of body tempering liquid."
Lao Ding probably knew something like body-tempering liquid, otherwise he wouldn't have blurted out the need for body-tempering liquid without any regard for money or gold.
However, 1000 ml is obviously far lower than Lao Ding’s expectations.
He said with a somewhat bitter tone: "With so many supplies, should we just exchange for 1,000 ml? I think there are still two or three thousand ml, right?"
"I don't want what you think, what I want is what I think. If you think it's not a good deal, I'm allowed to regret it." The man with gold-rimmed glasses clearly had a firm deal with Lao Ding, leaving him no room to negotiate. He didn't even bother to explain how precious and rare the body-tempering liquid was.
Jiang Yue had naturally heard of the body-tempering liquid. For the first time on the black market, Han Jingjing took a shot of the essence version of the body-tempering liquid, which was also 1000 ml. The price at that time was as high as eight figures.
As for these milk powder supplements and medicines, based on market prices, they cost tens of thousands of yuan at most.
But considering the current situation, if there is a food crisis, the value of the food will increase at least ten to twenty times, so in total, this cart is actually worth a lot.
And this 1,000 ml ordinary version of the body tempering liquid was only worth a few million when Han Jingjing auctioned it.
Nowadays, there will definitely be more and more such liquids, and they will even be mass-produced, and their value will inevitably shrink significantly.
So after all, Lao Ding must have suffered a loss.
