"When I was taking stock of my assets, I went to check out the forest through a friend in Arkansas, and I found that someone was cutting down the forest, and there were people who seemed to be hunting for treasure in it."
The news Cathy reported to Zhu Yu made Zhu Yu's heart tighten.
The reason for buying that virgin forest is that there is a huge treasure in White Bird Lake.
How could it be done if it was discovered or even excavated by others?
Zhu Yu told Ran Jie and the other three about the situation. They were also very angry. Cao Dalong simply said:
"Let's go! Boss, we can't let them mess with your things! We have to show them some color!"
Joanna knew that Zhu Yu had something serious to do. Although she was a little reluctant to give up, she was used to it.
"You must pay attention to safety." The core of Joanna's advice was this sentence, and the next meaning was to come back early.
Zhu Yu's heart was burning as he hugged Joanna.
I don’t know if it’s because of her own watering, or because Joanna has broken through the growth inertia of white women. She has become more rounded, and her temperament has also changed a lot. The freckles on her face have become lighter, and her pores have become smaller or even disappeared. She is famous in school. It’s also getting bigger.
However, business still had to be done, sending Joanna away. Zhu Yu said goodbye to Cathy, went to the freight yard to leave a few words for Jason, and then left New York in the car and drove to Arkansas.
Although they could fly there, Zhu Yu and the other four thought it would be better to drive all the way there. When traveling.
Along the way, because of the faces of the four people, I met kind-hearted passers-by, disgusting homeless people, and local residents who were playing pranks.
On this day, the car drove to a small town.
That's as far as Arkansas goes. The residents of the town include not only whites and blacks, but also obviously indigenous Indians.
It's not much, but it's there.
"Tomorrow, we can almost drive to the place." Zhu Yu already had the map in his mind. He said, "Originally, Brown set up a very luxurious camp near the forest. But now I don't know what the camp will look like. ”
"It's okay. The one who's waiting for us to pass should get out of here."
"Yes, let him spit it out after eating it, and let him send it back after taking it." Cao Dalong said with a smile.
"Those are the words of a villain." Qin Fei, who had been silent all this time, replied.
"Now we are the villains!" Cao Dalong said seriously and affirmatively, "Don't worry about what you say or what the truth is, we are the biggest!"
A few people joked, got out of the car and came to the hotel in the town.
The hotel is run by an Indian. Seeing Zhu Yu and the four of them, the front desk was a little surprised and asked:
"Chinese? Japanese or Korean?"
"Chinese." Ran Jie responded, "Give us three rooms."
Zhu Yu is the boss and has always had a single room, so the three of them just worked together.
"Okay, welcome." The waiter was an Indian woman in her twenties with a round face. She greeted her kindly and went through the formalities skillfully. "Are you here for a trip?"
"Yes." Ran Jie said with a smile, "Are there any good restaurants in the town? Can you recommend them?"
He said and handed over a tip of twenty dollars.
"My name is Ma Fei," the waiter said with a smile, taking the tip, "Aunt Lily's house in the east end of town makes good meat pies, and roast veal is also a luxury delicacy in our town.
Of course, if you are not used to it, there is also a so-called authentic French restaurant in the west end of the town, but because the price is relatively expensive, not many people go there. I haven’t eaten either…”
Muffy finally said:
"Of course, if you don't mind, I also provide simple meals here, which are cheap but more hygienic."
Zhu Yu and the others followed Ma Fei to the second floor. In the process, Zhu Yu and the others also basically understood the structure of the town.
The residents of the town are a mixed community, with two large Indian landowners, a large white rancher, and others who have lived here for a long time or came to settle on the way.
The security of the town is generally okay. Of course, this "okay" is compared to other towns. From time to time, a theft or a fight or something happens, which is not a big deal.
In Ma Fei's eyes, this "okay" means that there are usually only one or two deaths a month, and most of the deaths are from outsiders.
Listening to these words, the four people became a little more wary.
It's not that we haven't encountered robberies and thefts along the way, but the four of them have different physical constitutions from ordinary people, and Ran Jie and the other three are masters, so the other party basically suffers.
So even if I heard that there was some unrest here, I didn't really care.
The four of them were all armed with weapons, and those with advanced skills were bold. Unless they encountered someone with that kind of skills coming over, they would definitely not be timid.
"But in the town, you have to be careful with Jerry and the others." Ma Fei kindly reminded:
"They are not old people from other towns who like to bully passers-by. Of course, as long as you don't cause trouble, they won't be too aggressive..."
Zhu Yu and others understood it.
After settling in their accommodation and telling Ma Fei that they would have breakfast at the hotel tomorrow, Zhu Yu and the four of them went out, planning to walk around the town.
As soon as I went out, I saw a thin young man tinkering with something beside his car.
"Hi!" Cao Dalong stepped forward and grabbed him, "Asshole, what are you doing?"
In fact, there was no need to ask. Zhu Yu and the others knew what he was doing just by looking at the car door prying tool in his hand.
So arrogant?
What are you waiting for? Cao Dalong punched and kicked this guy!
The thin man let out an exaggerated scream that could be heard from eight streets away!
Zhu Yuxin said, this guy is so exaggerated and can act so well, there must be someone behind him.
Sure enough, within a minute, two groups of people rushed over from both sides.
Zhu Yu looked at the people on both sides. On one side were seven or eight white young men. At first glance, they looked like gangsters. They had all kinds of hair colors and were very arrogant.
On the other side were two policemen, the kind wearing police badges.
"Stop!" The gangster and the police said at the same time.
Cao Dalong reluctantly stopped and took a step back.
The man who stole the car crawled up to the gangsters and cried to their boss:
"Boss Jerry, I didn't do anything. I just looked at their car and they beat me..."
That Jerry sneered:
"Don't worry, I will let them apologize and compensate you!"
Zhu Yu glanced at Jerry and ignored him. Ran Jie took a step forward and faced the two policemen.
The policeman wearing a police badge frowned and asked:
"Why did you hit him?"
"He stole our car." Ran Jie pointed to the tools on the ground and said, "This is evidence."
"Bringing something doesn't mean stealing it, right?" Jerry on the other side said with a half-smile, "Who saw Croan stealing a car? Is there anyone who witnessed it?"
Zhu Yu looked up and saw that there were no cameras nearby.
The passers-by had already fled, and no one dared to come over to testify.
"If you can't produce evidence, then I will punish you according to the law!" The police chief looked businesslike.
"Yes! You hit my brother for no reason, you must apologize and compensate!" Jerry then said loudly.
The Sheriff glanced at him but did not stop what he said.
The gangsters looked proud. That Croan even winked at the person holding him next to him, obviously feeling that he was going to make a profit this time.
"Yes, there must be evidence." Zhu Yu suddenly said, making both the police chief and Jerry stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
Zhu Yu opened the car door and said slowly:
"Our car has a 360-degree surround recorder. There are cameras in every direction of the car. Even if the car is parked, the cameras are on.
So, as long as you turn on the monitoring, you can see the previous person..."
He pointed at Croann and said:
"What is this Mr. Croann doing..."
Before he finished speaking, Croann's face turned pale!
Who knew that this car was equipped with such a device?
Jerry's face also became ugly!
It was his idea that Croann came to steal the car. How could he not know?
It was originally an idea to blackmail someone, but I didn't expect that the other party's car would be so advanced?
When the police chief heard Zhu Yu's words, his expression did not improve. He even frowned at that moment, but then he said:
"In that case, let's take a look...Claudine, what do you have to say?"
"me……"
Claudian hesitated, not sure whether he should bet or not, and cast his eyes on Jerry.
Jerry knew it was time to make his own decision.
Seeing that Ran Jie on Zhu Yu's side had already got on the car and was about to call the surveillance system, Jerry gritted his teeth and finally said:
"This...may be a misunderstanding...Claudian may want to make a joke with these...guests."
Ran Jie had already turned on the surveillance camera in the car, and then looked at Zhu Yu.
"I also hope this is a misunderstanding." Zhu Yu nodded, "Then, that's it. I don't want anything else to happen."
"Of course, the people in our town are very hospitable, of course there won't be any, right?" The police chief breathed a sigh of relief.
The temperament of the four Chinese people made him feel that these were tough opponents. If Jerry and his gang really faced off, even though they had the local advantage, it had to be said that they would probably be crushed.
Now that Jerry has given in, this is the best ending.
He didn't want anything to happen to the town.
At least don't show up to the public.
Jerry led the people away. The police chief nodded to Zhu Yu, acknowledged his attitude, and then left.
"Boss, that's it?" Cao Dalong obviously felt unwilling.
"Don't worry, I can see the reluctance in that Claudian and Jerry's eyes. They will definitely still do things at night."
Zhu Yu smiled:
"A dog can't change its habit of eating shit. So I think night is a good opportunity to take action. It just so happens that now that we have it together, at least we will be safe before going to bed at night. Let's go, let's just eat something and rest for the night."
People in the town occasionally pointed at them, but Zhu Yu and the others didn't care.
Most Chinese people who come to this beautiful country live in coastal cities on the east and west coasts, and not many can enter the hinterland.
"I think maybe it's because we put Jerry and his gang together, so these people are looking at us so strangely."
When they arrived at Aunt Lili's restaurant, Zhu Yu and the others found a table and sat down. Cao Dalong said seriously.
"I heard that you let Jerry's bastards eat up you?" A fat lady came over, holding a plate of meatloaf in her hand, "This is for you, you are good!"
Several people were stunned for a moment, and Aunt Lily turned and left with a smile.
"It seems that those bastards are unpopular in the town." Cao Dalong picked up a piece of meat pie and tasted it, "Hey, it tastes good!"
"You guys eat, I'll order some more." Ran Jie was about to get up. At this time, a waitress in a miniskirt came over, holding a menu and pen in her hand, and asked:
"What do you guys want to eat?"
"Meat pie, three more. By the way, besides meat pie, what else do you have here?"
"And fried fish steak..." the waitress announced the name of the dish.
Ran Jie ordered a few items and looked at Zhu Yu. Zhu Yu nodded.
After the waiter took note, he turned and left.
Probably because of Zhu Yu's tough attitude and what they did in the town, plus the unusual combination of four Chinese, many people came to watch inside and outside the restaurant.
It’s just that no one is looking for trouble.
After eating and paying, Zhu Yu and the others got up and left.
It was already dark, the town was not big, and there were not many people on the streets. Occasionally there are one or two homeless people. When they see them, their eyes are numb and they don't do anything extraordinary.
In the distance, someone watched the four of them enter the hotel, then took out their mobile phones and dialed a number.
It was late at night, and clouds passed by, blocking the moonlight.
Two dark figures quietly approached the door of the hotel.
Someone's dog heard the commotion and barked twice in the yard. Then the owner scolded him and whimpered a little aggrievedly. Finally, he lay down by the den and stopped making any sound.
A dark figure looked around, while another bent over the car door, took out a tool and tried to pry the window open, while moving the door open.
Then he found that the car door was opened.
The man was overjoyed and immediately planned to get in.
The dark figure standing guard next to him asked quietly:
"Did you succeed? Hurry up!"
Then I saw my companion slowly retreating.
He was still wondering what was going on, so he went over to take a look, and asked while looking:
"What's wrong, Claudian? Why don't you go in? We need to drive the car away quickly... How can such a high-end car be sold for tens of thousands of dollars!"
Then he saw an unexpected scene!
There is a man in the car, pointing a gun at Croann!
This man was so scared that he turned around and ran away!
At this moment, the rear door suddenly opened, knocking him over. Before he could get up, he was trampled under his feet!
"Snapped!"
At the front door, Qin Fei, who was holding a gun in his hand, slapped Croan behind the ear. Croan rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
His companions shared his fate.
"Okay, let's tie him up and hang him on a street lamp in the middle of the town for public display!"
Qin Fei and Cao Dalong each carried one and walked quietly to the street lamp pole in the center of the town.
