Luo Ruyan felt that he was at a disadvantage every time he met Xia Chuluo.
This feeling of passivity made him uncomfortable.
I got lucky twice, but I can't always be so lucky.
According to everyone's agreement, he arrived at the meeting place, where other team members were already waiting for him.
"Lao Luo, why did it take so long?" someone asked.
"Something happened, and my niece found her."
Luo Ruyan didn't say much.
He took out a device he had with him and pressed a button to cause the submarine to self-destruct.
There was an explosion sound in the water channel, and the water surface shook for a while, and then calmed down again.
The submarine, which I had just bought not long ago, was forever silent at the bottom of the ditch, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
"Find a place with few people and burn all your cars." Luo Ruyan said.
"Lao Luo, I spent a lot of money to renovate this car, and it was burned like this?" The strong man scratched his head, puzzled.
"It's safest to burn it." Other members of the team also thought that there might be a tracking device.
"Lao Luo knows his niece best, burn her."
Seeing that a few people were reluctant, Luo Ruyan comforted her: "I will pay all your expenses during this period. There is no need to feel heartbroken. It's just a car. At worst, I'll have to rebuild another one."
Sure enough, money is always the most important thing.
The so-called long-term friendship is worthless.
Everyone drove to a dilapidated factory building, carrying gasoline and slowly pouring it into each car.
It's still raining heavily outside.
This night, many people stayed at home.
The fire and smoke will attract a lot of people's attention. Some people who have nothing to do may take advantage of the night to hold an umbrella and come out to see what's going on.
Human nature always likes to watch fun.
"I'll get a timer device and ignite it after twenty minutes. This can avoid a lot of trouble." Someone in the team said.
"Speaking of which, Lao Luo, your niece is really amazing. How could she find where we are?"
"Dealing with this little girl...can't be taken lightly."
Everyone suffered a loss and began to pay attention to Xia Chuluo.
"Fat Jiang still has to find a chance to get it done. With him here, Xia Chuluo can target us at any time, unless we have no trace of contact with the Internet."
"What are you afraid of? Don't we still have glasses?" Someone patted the thin man wearing thick glasses in the team.
After arranging everything, the team took advantage of the night and left.
This abandoned place will start burning in twenty minutes.
Dense raindrops hit the roof of the abandoned factory building.
A few ants moved slowly in the grass on a rainy night.
…
Ten p.m.
The innkeeper looked at the pouring rain outside and knew that probably no one would come tonight.
There are only three tenants left in the lobby on the first floor. Perhaps they feel too bored in their own rooms. They sit on the old stools in the lobby and look at the rain outside the window with different expressions. Some are in a daze, some are in a daze. Frowning in thought.
The boss was mentally counting the huge sums of money he had received recently.
The total amount of money is enough for him to find a small place in this city and spend the rest of his life peacefully.
"When this is over, we'll sell the hotel."
The boss feels that this matter should be over quickly.
He knew that Luo Ruyan and the team owned by Luo Ruyan were a very strong force, and some of the faces he had seen on Central City's wanted list.
And that little girl still feels too young.
The boss was still a little uneasy, so he was waiting for the conflict between the two teams tomorrow morning, and for Luo Ruyan to call him to tell him that everything had been settled.
"Squeak..."
The old hotel door was pushed open.
It's raining heavily outside.
Lightning flashed, and outside the door were more than a dozen black umbrellas in full bloom.
Everyone under the umbrella looked calm.
Xia Chuluo was the first to walk into the hotel. She put away her black umbrella. Rainwater dripped down the tip of the umbrella and hit the floor of the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
The hotel owner was startled and had a bad feeling.
He forced a smile and asked: "Miss Xia, haven't you all gone upstairs to rest? Why... went out again?"
He clearly remembered that no one walked out of the front door during this period.
On this heavy rainy day and at night, the hotel has been very cold. The tenants are either sitting in the lobby on the first floor to rest or in their own rooms.
If someone was out, he would definitely notice.
Did this group of people get out through the window? The collision between the two groups is over
"Rainy days are more romantic. It's good to go out and enjoy the rain scenery." Xia Chuluo said lightly.
The boss looked at the group of people behind her.
Each person was carrying more than one weapon, as well as various equipment that he had never seen before. Machinery and flesh were blended together, and they were full of murderous intent. They were obviously out to look for trouble.
The boss is also a smart man.
He hesitated for a moment between his life and that large sum of money, and soon chose the former.
"Ms. Xia, I have no choice. That Luo Ruyan threatened me, saying that if I didn't cooperate with him, he would kill my wife and children."
The boss changed his expression to a mournful one.
"I think you also know how powerful Luo Ruyan and his team are, Miss Xia. I am an ordinary person, how dare I not agree to what he said..."
The speed of the face change and the look of admitting his mistake made everyone amazed.
To be able to live in Central City for such a long time and still come into contact with all kinds of people every day without getting hurt, I have to say that this boss is a talent.
"I just checked and found out that your wife died five years ago, and your son was also given away by you." Xia Chuluo looked at him calmly.
"Ah this..."
The store owner was speechless for a moment.
Family is the best place to play the emotional card. If you play it well, you can win the sympathy and understanding of the other party.
But he has no family.
I thought I could fool him, but... it turns out that luck is not an option.
"Miss Xia, this...this money is all the money you gave me before, as well as the money Luo Ruyan gave me. I will take it out and give it to you right away."
The boss laughed dryly, then reached out and groped under his counter for a while.
Looks like he's looking for money.
But when he was about to pick up the thing under the counter, the cold muzzle of the gun was already aimed at his head.
"Put the gun on the counter and step back." Xia Chuluo's indifferent voice showed no emotion.
The shop owner broke into a cold sweat and his scalp was numb.
Anyone who has a gun put to their head will not feel too good.
The girl in front of her was cautious and calm for her age. It was obvious at a glance that he was looking for a gun under the counter.
The plan to kidnap Xia Chuluo and threaten others was shattered.
"Ms. Xia, I'm really taking money." The boss explained hurriedly: "As for this gun... Living in Central City, I have to endure the security of those idiot robots every day. I don't have a gun to defend myself, so I really can't sleep well. "
He slowly brought the gun up from under the counter and placed it on the counter.
An old-fashioned revolver with six rounds of ammunition.
Ready to fire at any time.
The other three tenants sitting in the lobby on the first floor were silent at this time, watching everything happening in front of them.
This is Central City, nothing happens at all.
"This gun is good. It's a commemorative version of the last war. It's hard to get. Although Central City is shabby, you can still find some good stuff." Xia Chuluo glanced at the revolver on the table.
Duan Tiannan, a middle-aged and fat guy, likes to collect revolvers.
He even had a gun made of pure gold at home, but that thing couldn't be used. The high temperature of the bullets would deform the gun body, so the pure gold revolver could only be looked at.
"Lu Wen, take this gun and throw it back to Duan Tiannan. It's thanks to him this time."
Although there was no news from Duan Tiannan.
But judging from the meeting, he successfully killed the sniper on the opposite side, and that was enough.
"Although that guy looks unreliable, his work is still very reassuring."
After putting away the gun, the store owner was no longer a threat.
He leaned against the wall of the hall on the first floor, raising his hands to indicate that he had not done anything detrimental to everyone.
"There's no need to cook tomorrow's meal too early, just at normal time." Xia Chuluo said calmly.
The boss was stunned, this is...are you not going to get rid of him
The look of ecstasy flashed across his eyes, and he smiled humbly and said, "You have the final say on this store now, and I will just listen to your arrangements."
Xia Chuluo had no intention of killing him.
Although the city's mechanical butler is silly, it is also troublesome to take it seriously.
If you really want to kill someone, you should first call the person to a secluded place in the middle of nowhere, then dispose of the body, and use some method to create an alibi for yourself.
Everyone walked into the lobby on the first floor and shook off the rainwater on their umbrellas.
In fact, everyone was already soaked, holding an umbrella was just more of a ritual.
Just as everyone was preparing to go upstairs to rest, there was a sudden knock on the door of the hotel.
"Dong dong dong..."
Standing at the door was a skinny man.
He is about thirty years old, has scars on his face, and has metal arms on both his arms. He is a typical reformer.
He stretched out his hand to wipe the rain off his face. A few greasy hairs stuck to his forehead. Together with the scar marks, he looked more fierce.
"A brother in our organization was killed while performing a mission, and his head was shot."
He walked into the store, his narrow eyes looking coldly at everyone.
Everyone was puzzled.
Fatty Jiang came out and said tentatively: "Should I say... I'm sorry to hear this news?"
"My brother was a sniper. According to ballistic analysis, the sniper who killed him was in the area where you were active at the time."
It was at this time.
Duan Tiannan's voice came from Xia Chuluo's headphones.
"Xiaoxia, I may have accidentally killed one more person just now. That guy was so unprofessional. He set up a gun in such an obvious place, and he really thought everyone else was a StarCraft player..."
"Do you know that I just praised you for being more reliable?"
