The two creased ten-yuan notes in Du Lin's hand firmly attracted William's attention. If he hadn't considered that his small body was not suitable for fighting, and if he hadn't considered that there were two people on the other side, he would have even thought of robbing him. idea. The beating in his heart made his blood flow faster and his complexion became more rosy. Twenty yuan is not a small amount of money. For an information dealer like him who hangs out in this kind of situation and level, this may be money that can be earned in a week or more.
Intelligence depreciates very quickly. The information he just sold for three yuan may be worthless when he turns back now. Information is quick money and will not last. And many times, before the purchased information has time to be sold, it has already flooded and spread from other places. Every purchase and sale of intelligence is a gamble, and the money you make is actually hard-earned money, and you also have to face investigations that are very likely to come from the parties involved in the intelligence content.
So when he saw the twenty dollars, he vowed to get it. He hunched over, showing his most humble appearance, with a smile that could hang above his ears, and nodded slightly continuously, "You may not know that in these two neighborhoods, everyone knows my reputation, William." "There is no information that I can't get..." This is what he boasted about himself, and also hinted at the next thing he didn't say - as long as you have enough money.
He believed that the two young men in front of him could understand what he had to say, so he smiled with a little confidence and pride.
Du Lin flipped the banknotes in his hand over and over, and he smiled playfully, "The news I want is very simple..." When Du Lin was speaking, Du Fu had already moved to the side, blocking the entrance to the alley. In the passage, Dulin turned around and leaned against the back door of the bar, completely blocking William's escape route. If William hadn't been blinded by the twenty yuan reward at this time, he should have been able to feel the faint malice of these people. Unfortunately, he had no money to cover his eyes, and he still looked flattering.
"I just want to know who asked you to pass false news to Xiu En."
William was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to understand what Du Lin said at the first time. The moment he thought about it carefully, a tingling sensation like an electric shock instantly filled his body, and his hair was about to break. When he stood up, he shivered and his skin was covered with goosebumps. The moment he turned around and rushed towards Dufo, Du Lin gave him a push. With his center of gravity unbalanced, he stumbled forward a few steps in embarrassment, and fell headlong onto the smelly ground in the back alley, whereupon he fell to his knees.
Duffer put a foot on his back, reached out and grabbed his hair and lifted it up. With the help of an incandescent lamp at the back door of the bar, he could barely see the subtle changes in the expression on his face. The apple muscles that were full of fear and trembling slightly were like restless little mice hiding inside.
The gentle tapping sound in his ears made William's trembling intensify. He raised his head and watched a dark shadow with its back light appear in front of him. His panicked eyes looked elsewhere.
"Look, I knew you were lying. Didn't you say your information was the most complete and up-to-date?"
Although William was scared, he still kept his mouth shut. If he doesn't tell, he may not die, but if he tells, he won't live long. After Gedol was finished, the Flame Skull group immediately began to raid various areas. With no one able to stop him, almost the entire city's underground world was now firmly under their control. Just some time ago, a brief internal fight broke out among the core members of the Flame Skull. The original leader was slaughtered and an inconspicuous guy succeeded in taking over.
This man's name is Lewis, who is about thirty years old, elegant, with an awkward northern accent. He is more decisive, more ruthless, and more decisive than the previous leader. As long as someone dares to touch the rules he has set, he will never show mercy, no matter who that person is or how close they are to him. Strictly enforced cruel laws have caused the entire underground world to quietly change, and the person behind the mission who gave William the task was the person sent by Lewis.
He is an intelligence dealer, so he knows a lot of news. It is precisely because he knows a lot of news that he is even more afraid. He knew that if a person really desperately wanted to obtain a piece of information in this world, then it would be impossible for anyone to hide the piece of information. There might be someone eavesdropping behind the door at this time, maybe the door on the third floor. There is a pair of ears hidden in the open dark window.
He didn't dare to say that he didn't want to die.
He unexpectedly calmed down.
"It seems that our friend is a tough guy, so he should be given the treatment he deserves!" Du Lin was actually joking. How many of the people who make money by selling out are tough guys? None, William is not telling now just because he thinks that the consequences of not speaking out are far more fatal than the consequences of speaking out. Dulin needs to make him clearly realize that the two results are actually the same, it is just a matter of time.
Dufo flipped his other hand, and there was a dagger in his hand. The blade of this dagger was two inches long and only as wide as a finger. The sharp arc-shaped blade reflected in the night and light. A faint cold glow. He pressed the blade against William's neck, and as soon as he touched it, a line of blood appeared on William's neck.
Dulin squatted down, put his hands on his knees, and patted William's cheek, "Do you believe in God?" He pointed to the sky, "Many people believe in God and think that they will return to God's arms after death. Go to heaven and enjoy endless joy and well-being. Some people do bad things while silently chanting the name of God. They always think that they can go to heaven. Are you such a person? You believe in God devoutly and are sure that you will die. Can I go to heaven in the future?”
Clear saliva with a hint of viscosity flowed from the corner of William's mouth. He wanted to swallow the saliva secreted in his mouth, but the blade pressed against his throat prevented him from swallowing. There was pleading in his eyes. He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to say anything.
"You must be a devout believer. God will be very happy when he sees you, because among his believers there is a new group of people who make a living by betrayal and betrayal." As he said this, Dulin stretched out his index finger. He gestured on his neck, "Since our intelligence dealer has a good professional ethics, we shouldn't make things difficult for him and send him to see God!"
The next second William could feel that Du Lin was not trying to scare him. The guy holding his hair pulled his head upward harder, his neck tightened, and he could feel that the blade had cut into his skin, and his life was... At stake. At this critical moment, he used all his strength to lean back and avoid the knife that cut his throat. "I said, don't kill me, I said!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Dulin's face. He made a gesture, and Du Fu released his legs and feet and pulled William up from the ground. Dulin lit a cigarette and took a drag, then stuffed it into William's mouth, and helped him tidy up his messed up hair, "Look, it's not that difficult, isn't it? Say what I want, and I'll leave here. You also get out of here." Dulin was as elegant as a gentleman in the upper class. His smile was hard to make people feel bad, but in William's eyes, Dulin was a demon from hell.
William held his neck, and blood was flowing out from a one-inch-long narrow wound. The blood did not flow out quickly, and the wound was not deep. It was not a fatal injury. His violently beating heart gave rise to an unprecedented desire to live in his heart. He didn't want to lose his life at this moment, and he didn't believe in that old bastard in the sky. He only believed in himself and the money in his pocket. He took a deep breath, his eyes kept scanning the surrounding windows and alleys, and lowered his voice and said: "It was Lewis's people who came to inform me. I have already told you, can you let me go?"
Lewis
Dulin had just come out. He didn't know anything about Lewis, and his focus wasn't here. Although he had heard the name mentioned by a new prisoner some time ago, he did not know the details. He pondered for a moment, then raised his hand.
William was so frightened by Du Lin's movements that his body trembled. He leaned back, his back pressed against the wall, and his hands protected his head. But the expected attack did not come. Through the gap between his arms, he saw Dulin fold the twenty yuan that he had coveted not long ago and stuff it into the chest pocket of his coat.
"Talk about this Lewis, I just came back from overseas and I don't know much about the new situation here."
William's pupils suddenly shrank. Sometimes he had to admire these people who deal with information and intelligence all day long. Just a few days ago, people were discussing whether Dulin, who was about to be released from prison, would continue to stay in Tener. Now this big boss appeared in front of him. He carefully observed Du Lin's appearance, and even glanced at Du Fo. After repeated confirmation, he was sure that the two guys in front of him were Du Lin and Du Fo.
After he breathed a sigh of relief, Du Lin rose quickly, accompanied by relatively cruel and brutal methods. However, contrary to these negative news, in this city, Du Lin was a very trustworthy guy. This made him relax a lot. He knew how to deal with this kind of people. As long as he met their needs, everything would be fine. So he put down his arms and told Dulin everything he wanted to know in a slower speaking speed.
Lewis was a strange guy, but it wasn't that no one knew his details. This guy was imprisoned several times for several assaults, and then disappeared for a while, and people gradually forgot about him. This period lasted for about five to six years, and not many people knew where he went or what he did. This time he firmly grasped the Flame Skull as soon as he came back, and an unconfirmed rumor began to spread in the intelligence circle, saying that Lewis had actually taken refuge with a big shot and was sent to work elsewhere by the big shot.
As for why you want to come back now, that is another question!
