The reason why Xu Cheng borrowed money and asked for leave from Ed was of course not to do nothing, but to prepare to find Colin's whereabouts.
It turned out that Xu Cheng mistakenly thought that Colin had taken away his own money and ran away, and was planning to find someone to teach him a lesson.
Later, I learned from a yellow man that not only did Colin not run away, but he followed his instructions and looked for people to borrow money. As a result, the money was robbed and the person disappeared.
Xu Cheng felt a little guilty about this. If it hadn't been for his orders, Colin wouldn't have suffered like this.
So today, while nothing was wrong, he planned to get Colin back.
When he came to the garage, Xu Cheng found that the driver Mikey had gone out. Although there were other cars in the garage, he did not have the key.
Not knowing when McGee would come back, Xu Cheng walked around the garage and soon pulled out an old bicycle.
Although it looks old, it should be high-end goods. There is no damage and even the air in the tires is still there.
Xu Cheng got on his bicycle, drove out of the gate under the surprised eyes of the guards, and sped down the winding mountain road.
Half an hour later, Xu Cheng returned to the Ziluolan family's castle.
This castle is a public area, with a large number of public facilities, sports fields, cinemas, supermarkets, bars, etc. nearby. It is like a small town where all the unselected affiliates live here.
The direct blood descendants also live in their own fiefs or manors and will not mix with collateral descendants.
Xu Cheng rode his bicycle around the castle and entered the town center.
Even in winter, it is very lively here. Many people are shopping and there are children making snowmen and having snowball fights on the street.
Xu Cheng is now considered a celebrity, so he pulls up his collar to cover half of his face to avoid being recognized by possible enthusiastic fans.
Relying on his memory, he rode his bicycle to an alley and entered an alley after twists and turns.
A man was squatting under the eaves to avoid the snow. Seeing that Xu Cheng had no intention of stopping, he immediately jumped out to stop him.
"Do you understand the rules? Pay the toll!"
Xu Cheng did not stop, and a wheel knocked him over.
The man fell to the ground and struggled to get up, but Xu Cheng stepped on his chest and forced him to lie down again.
"Keep an eye on the car for me. This is the parking fee."
Xu Cheng took out a banknote from his pocket, stuffed it into the opponent's pocket, and then punched a hole in the wall next to him.
"If the car is lost, I will ride you back, do you understand?"
The man's face, originally full of anger, suddenly turned pale, and he nodded repeatedly.
Xu Cheng then walked past the man and walked inside. There was a secret door in the alley. After opening the secret door, he entered a spacious courtyard.
There were several rooms in the courtyard, and each room was in full swing, with all kinds of shouts and shouts coming out.
This is an underground casino and a place where collateral descendants spend their time.
The reason why it is so secretive is not that direct blood descendants prohibit gambling, but that regular casinos are opened by direct blood descendants. Ordinary collateral descendants cannot afford to spend money, so they can only come to such places.
Xu Cheng walked up to a thug guarding the door: "I want to see the three-handed Old Buck."
Seeing Xu Cheng's underage appearance, the thug waved his hand impatiently: "Where are you from, you kid? Get out of here."
Xu Cheng had no choice but to repeat his old trick and punch a hole in the cement wall next to him: "I can't hear what you said."
The thug's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He swallowed, and the dull look on his face suddenly turned into a smile: "You... please come with me."
Like a thug, the thug took Xu Cheng to a room on the third floor of the casino.
The thugs walked in first and came out ten seconds later, inviting Xu Cheng in.
The room was a simple office, with a fat middle-aged man sitting on the boss's chair, legs crossed, and a scantily clad girl standing behind him, giving him a massage.
This fat middle-aged man is the three-handed old Buck, whose nickname is somewhat similar to the four-handed sword Willy.
Willy was nicknamed because of his speed with his sword, while Old Buck was nicknamed because he was a thief in his youth.
Later, I don’t know how he became successful. He also opened an underground casino and became the number one figure in the local area. It is said that he has friends with direct blood descendants.
Old Buck had a cigar in his mouth and looked at Xu Cheng sideways: "Who are you? Why do you want to see me?"
"Find me someone."
Xu Cheng took out the money he borrowed from Ed from his pocket, withdrew one third of it, and threw the rest on the table.
Old Buck is already a local leader. He not only opens underground casinos, but also handles many other businesses, one of which is finding people.
Old Buck glanced at the money on the table, and his face became slightly gloomy: "It's too little. I need at least 10,000 people to find someone."
If his subordinates hadn't said that this man could punch a hole in the wall with one punch, he wouldn't have been so polite at all and would have called for someone to beat this guy out with a stick.
"Ten thousand..."
Xu Cheng borrowed one month's salary from Ed, which was less than one thousand yuan. Ten thousand yuan was equivalent to his one-year salary at the manor.
He reached out and took back another third of the money on the table: "I only have so much. Find someone for me. I owe you a favor."
Old Buck's face darkened, he took out a pistol from his arms and slammed it on the table: "Are you here to trick me?"
Along with his sharp shouts, there was the sound of running outside, and in a blink of an eye, seven or eight thugs broke into the room, staring at Xu Cheng fiercely.
Without looking back, Xu Cheng took back all the money left on the table and put it in his pocket.
Then he raised his foot and kicked back, hitting the chest of a thug behind him.
The opponent was kicked backwards, knocked over several people behind him, flew out of the door, hit the guardrail of the corridor, and fell downstairs with a scream.
boom!
Old Buck had already picked up his pistol and shot Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng dodged, then jumped over the desk and kicked Old Buck in the chest.
"ah!"
The scantily clad girl screamed and ran away, and Old Buck was kicked and fell to the ground.
He endured the pain and raised the pistol, but in the next second his hand was empty.
Xu Cheng dodged the pistol, turned around and fired one after another.
Accompanied by fierce gunshots and the girl's screams, several thugs were all shot in the thighs with pistols and fell to the ground screaming.
Xu Cheng left the last bullet and aimed it at Old Buck on the ground.
"Wait a minute, sir!"
Old Buck raised his hands and said with an apologetic smile: "Looking for someone? No problem at all. I will be at your service right away."
Xu Cheng said: "But I don't have ten thousand yuan."
"I do, I do."
Old Buck was very sensible and said quickly: "I have 20,000 yuan, of which 10,000 yuan is the cost of finding someone, and the remaining 10,000 yuan is a gift to you."
Xu Cheng smiled: "Then I will have to come and visit you more often in the future."
Old Buck's smile suddenly became stiff. He wanted to spend money to eliminate the disaster, but he didn't want to be used as a cash machine.
Ten minutes later, all the injured men were taken away. Xu Cheng sat on the recliner in the office, with Old Buck waiting on him. The scantily clad girl would cast seductive glances at him from time to time.
Soon, a thug walked in cautiously and whispered in Old Buck's ear.
Old Buck smiled and came to Xu Cheng's side: "Sir, the Colin Charles you are looking for has been found. He is locked up in the dungeon. If you need it, I can arrange for you to enter the dungeon to meet him."
The dungeon is a place specially used by the Violet family to detain some prisoners. It is not easy to get out after entering.
When Xu Cheng heard that Colin was still alive, he felt slightly relieved, then got up and walked away.
"You can help me arrange it, but you won't help me arrange a trap by the way, right?"
Old Buck was slightly startled and quickly followed.
"How could it be possible? I have always been law-abiding and will never deliberately seek trouble."
"Really?"
Xu Cheng glanced at Old Buck: "I know there is a direct blood descendant standing behind you. You can ask for his help and see if you can kill me."
Old Buck was able to go from a thief to a local gangster who opened an underground casino and had dozens of younger brothers. He must have the help of his direct descendants behind him.
To put it bluntly, he is a black glove, otherwise it would not be his turn to be a thief to earn this shady money.
Old Buck's silly smile froze on his face. He really planned to deal with Xu Cheng first, and then seek help from his backers to kill this dangerous guy.
Now that Xu Cheng brought it up on his own initiative, it made him confused.
Seeing Xu Cheng walking away, he quickly followed.
"You are joking. I, Old Buck, am definitely not the one who stabbed me in the back. We can definitely become friends."
Old Buck sent Xu Cheng all the way out of the underground casino and into the alley outside.
The gatekeeper who was showing Xu Cheng's car was lying on the ground with bleeding from the back of his head. He must have been attacked by a sneak attack, but the bike was gone.
Xu Cheng: "..."
Old Buck thought it was Xu Cheng's doing, so he said nothing.
Xu Cheng said, "I didn't do it. My car is also missing."
Old Buck instantly became furious and yelled at the younger brothers behind him: "Who did this? Whoever dares to run wild on my territory, go and find them right away."
After yelling, he immediately turned to Xu Cheng and smiled apologetically: "I'm not talking about you, please don't get me wrong."
Xu Cheng reached out and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, today is the first and last time. I won't trouble you again in the future."
After saying that, Old Buck turned and left without waiting for an answer.
The smile on Old Buck's face gradually disappeared and became gloomy.
If he were ten years younger, he would definitely not give up and make the other party pay the price even if both sides suffer.
But now, thinking of the children at home who were less than ten years old, Old Buck could only sigh helplessly.
…
After losing the car, Xu Cheng could only walk all the way back to the Violet family's castle and met the people sent by Old Buck.
Under the arrangement of the other party, Xu Cheng came to the dungeon smoothly.
Dungeons, as the name suggests, are prisons built underground. The environment here is dark, cold and damp. Even if you are not punished or tortured, you will get sick if you live for a long time.
In a certain cell, Xu Cheng finally saw the missing Colin.
"Archer?"
Colin shouted in surprise: "Why are you here? Is your injury healed?"
Xu Cheng felt relieved when he saw that he was not injured: "I came here to find you, how could you be imprisoned?"
"I was wronged."
Colin looked unhappy: "I wanted to find someone to borrow money, but two guards insisted that I stole their money, and then locked me up."
After the money to buy medicine was robbed by Mark and other villains, Colin originally wanted to find someone else to borrow the money, but he met two guards on the way, who wanted to steal the money and were imprisoned directly.
According to the laws of the Violet family, anyone who steals will be imprisoned for at least three months.
"Don't worry, I will get you out."
"Don't mess around. I'll be out for a maximum of three months. There is food and drink here."
After saying goodbye to Colin, Xu Cheng found the prison guard and asked who imprisoned Colin.
Seeing the prison guard doing Tai Chi, Xu Cheng took out a banknote from his pocket and stuffed it into the prison guard's hand.
The prison guard lowered his head and glanced at the denomination of the banknote, and his smile became more sincere: "It was Willy, the previous captain of the guard, who had him imprisoned."
"Willy the Four-Handed Sword?"
Xu Cheng frowned slightly. Willy did this obviously to prevent Colin from buying medicine for Xu Cheng. It also meant that Willy had been sending people to keep an eye on Xu Cheng and Colin's every move.
But is this necessary?
Is it that spending so much time and effort just to prevent Xu Cheng from appearing in the selection assessment?
It's a pity that Willy is dead and there is no way to know his thoughts.
"Can you release me early?"
"At least let the current guard captain order his release."
Xu Cheng took out two bills and stuffed them into the hands of the prison guard.
The prison guard smiled: "In two weeks, a group of prisoners will be released from the dungeon, and you can add your friends' names to them."
Xu Cheng stuffed a few more bills, but this time the prison guard refused to let go. It seemed that Colin had to be forced to stay in the dungeon for a while. Fortunately, the prison guard promised to take good care of him.
After settling a matter on his mind, Xu Cheng felt much more relaxed and returned to the dungeon to chat with Colin for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
Just as he was walking through the narrow corridor of the dungeon and preparing to leave, a middle-aged man in a hurry suddenly emerged from the corner and almost collided with him.
Xu Cheng took a step back to avoid it. The middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at him, his face instantly stiffened.
But the middle-aged man immediately reacted, lowered his head, and left in a hurry.
Xu Cheng looked at the other person's back and frowned slightly.
Because he had just met Colin, Xu Cheng put down his collar and showed his face, and the middle-aged man's reaction was that he obviously knew him.
Of course, there are many people who know Xu Cheng. Anyone who has seen yesterday's selection and assessment knows him.
But because of his natural ability, Xu Cheng is extremely sensitive to emotions.
He could feel that the middle-aged man became extremely nervous the moment he recognized himself, his breathing stagnated, and his muscles all tightened, which meant that he was afraid.
afraid of what?
Xu Cheng thought for a moment and quietly followed.
Outside the dungeon, the middle-aged man rushed to the parking lot, got into his car, started it, drove onto the highway, looked back in the rearview mirror, and then breathed a deep sigh of relief.
I didn't expect to be so unlucky that I would meet this mixed-race bastard. Shouldn't he be at Snow Mountain Manor? Why did you end up in the dungeon?
However, if you think about it carefully, the other party has just joined Snow Mountain Manor, does not know you at all, and will not leak your whereabouts.
At this time, the mobile phone suddenly rang.
The middle-aged man took out his mobile phone and looked at the incoming call. He hesitated for a few seconds before choosing to answer it.
