Chapter 204
"After so many years, the changes in the Magic City are not ordinary!"
In a narrow street in the outer ring of the Magic City, a blue and white taxi was driving slowly. Looking at the many low houses that had been flattened outside, a middle-aged man in the back seat of the car sighed.
The middle-aged man was wearing a camouflage tight military uniform and had short hair. Just sitting there, he gave people a very burly feeling. The muscles under the camouflage uniform were high, especially the scar on his left face was eye-catching, like an earthworm lying on his face, very scary.
Hearing the sigh of the middle-aged man, the taxi driver laughed.
"This is the Magic City after all. Although it is only the outer ring, these old houses should be demolished. It's good to demolish them, and you can get a large amount of demolition compensation. It's just a pity that my family is not in the outer ring. Some time ago, I heard that the Mo family in the Magic City was going to build a new community here, and gave each household here nearly eight figures!"
The taxi driver's tone was full of envy.
With so much money, he could buy a house in another small place, and the remaining money would be enough for retirement.
The man in camouflage uniform is named Li Zheng, and he was originally a wandering vagrant in Xia Country.
However, six or seven years ago, by chance, Li Zheng met a friend in Shanghai. When Li Zheng couldn't make it, this friend also suggested that he go abroad to be a mercenary. Although it was dangerous, the income was extremely high.
At that time, Li Zheng could hardly afford to eat. After borrowing some money from that person, he left the country hastily.
No one expected that Li Zheng would be very successful abroad a few years later, and he also became the leader of the mercenary group. Now he is also "returning home in glory". Today he passed by Shanghai, so he came to see the person who had been kind to him.
"Okay, let's stop here."
Li Zheng said to the taxi driver in front of him when he came to a house with graffiti all over the wall.
The driver reacted quickly and stopped the car directly.
"Well, give me thirty yuan. You look like a good brother, let's make friends."
After hesitating for a while, the driver still spoke honestly. Seeing Li Zheng's tall and strong appearance, he felt that if he cheated the other party, he would be beaten up by the other party. It would be a big loss.
"Here, no need to change."
What the driver didn't expect was that Li Zheng took out a stack of red banknotes from his pocket and threw it directly to the taxi driver in front who was a little overwhelmed.
"Tip, I see those rich foreigners do this."
Li Zheng grinned, looking rich and powerful.
He used to be poor, but now he has some money, so he naturally wants to come back to enjoy it and pretend to be rich.
Then he ignored the taxi driver's flattering smile and got off the car directly.
It was noon at this moment, and the scorching sun shone on Li Zheng's dark face, making him look a little reflective.
"It's been so many years, I don't know how that guy is doing, is he still working as a waiter in the bar like before."
Li Zheng's mouth curled up, he really wanted to see the surprised expression of his old friend when he saw his current status. This expression would make Li Zheng very happy.
Li Zheng returned to the Magic City this time, in fact, he had an important thing to do, and coming here to see this old friend was just a side job.
He said he was going to see his old friend, but in fact he just wanted to show off his current status to them.
Maybe because he had stayed at the bottom for a long time, Li Zheng enjoyed the admiring eyes of others.
"It's here, it should be right."
After carefully looking around, the surrounding scene was similar to a few years ago, and it had not been demolished. Relying on Li Zheng's memory, he quickly found the residence of his old friend.
This is a house that looks quite old. The house has only one floor and the floor area is definitely not more than 30. The walls around the house seem to have fallen off a lot. The whole house is patched up. If it is not demolished, it will collapse in two years.
Of course, Li Zheng remembered that this house did not belong to his friend. If it really belonged to him, then he must be a wealthy demolition household.
Coming to the somewhat shabby iron door, looking at the locked door from the inside, Li Zheng knocked hard three times.
"You Yuhong, come out to see your grandfather and see if he still recognizes your grandfather Li."
After a while, seeing that the people in the house ignored him, Li Zheng frowned and shouted again.
"What the hell are you doing, what are you putting in there?"
Li Zheng is the kind of person with a very hot temper. In addition, he became the head of the group abroad and a leader in the group. He is alsoHaving sat in a high position, he certainly wouldn't be in a good mood when faced with such a situation.
"If you don't open the door, I'm going to kick it in!"
No one inside paid attention to him, and Li Zheng continued to shout.
Just as Li Zheng was about to kick the door, the locked door was finally opened, but it was different from what Li Zheng imagined.
No familiar figure appeared inside, but a girl who looked to be in her early twenties and very lovely showed her head.
"Uncle, what do you want?"
Seeing Li Zheng's vicious look, the girl inside frowned and didn't look happy.
"Oh, You Yuhong is a good guy. I haven't seen him for so many years, but he actually found such a tender girlfriend. Girl, are you interested in being my woman?"
After seeing the other person's face clearly, Li Zheng raised his eyebrows and then teased.
"I'm not You Yuhong's girlfriend. If you want to find him, I advise you to leave. He died three years ago. Don't bother me in the future."
Seeing Li Zheng's rudeness, the girl's face turned black and she closed the door again. Then the girl's voice came from inside.
"Dead?"
Li Zheng was stunned. His old friend was actually dead?
"Girl, please explain clearly. How did the other party die?"
Li Zheng frowned.
After a while, there was still no sound from inside.
"You really don't want to drink a toast."
With a cold snort, Li Zheng took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket without saying a word, and then stuffed it in through the crack of the door!
The people inside the door were obviously stunned, and they were quiet for a while, and then the girl's crisp voice came again. This time the girl's attitude was much better.
"Three years ago, You Yuhong stole things from Shangri-La, a high-end luxury store in Magic City, but was later discovered. Because he was in a hurry to run, he was accidentally hit by a sports car when crossing a road. Although he was sent to the hospital in time, he died in the end."
"Later, because You Yuhong had no relatives and no one to compensate, the matter was left unresolved."
After hearing the girl's words, Li Zheng's frowning brows also relaxed a lot.
"Then where is Shangri-La?" Li Zheng asked again.
"It's on the high-end brand street in the central city of Magic City. If you are a relative of You Yuhong, you can try your luck. If the other party is easy to talk to, you may get some compensation."
Hearing this, Li Zheng's mouth curled up slightly.
Whether You Yuhong lives or dies has nothing to do with him. He came back to see the other party just to pretend to be 13. Since there is a benefit to be gained now, with Li Zheng's character, he will naturally not let it go.
Moreover, Shangri-La sounds like a high-end store. If he doesn't give anything, can't I blackmail him with my identity if he doesn't give me anything?
