Four nights and three days later, at about eight o'clock in the morning, in a restaurant outside Longcheng that entertained passing vendors, Fei Pingsheng sat near the window, with the phone between his ear and shoulder, tearing a roast chicken with both hands, his mouth full of oil.
"Fei Guangtou, why do you want money again?!" A man asked in dissatisfaction on the phone.
Fei Pingsheng swallowed the meat in his mouth and replied in a hoarse voice: "Brother Ba, the brothers have suffered a lot recently. First, Lao Pang was kidnapped, and now Tianlan Company has been messed up. After several things were done, the higher-ups didn't allocate any money. I paid for it all by myself. To be honest, if nothing happened to the brothers below this time, I really wouldn't say anything to you. But now several people are gone, you say I have to...!"
"Shut up! You sound like a telecom fraudster! You call every day for no other reason than to ask for money." The other party replied in a bad tone: "Since you started doing this, I must have paid you half a million dollars, right? I've paid you, but what have you accomplished?"
"Lao Pang, I tied him up?!"
"What's the use of him? Have you got any clues so far?"
"The other side is too cautious, Myna! This is not that easy to do."
"Don't talk nonsense to me, Baldy Fei, I'm telling you, Boss Shen has at least 80 people like you in a team of this size, if not 100. There are too many people who are paid, and if you can't produce results, then forget about anything else." The other party said firmly, "If you want money, then give me results in exchange, or don't call me anymore."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
"Hello? Hello? Myna, myna, you're next door, I hope you get cancer soon." Fei Pingsheng heard the busy tone, curled his lips and cursed, then threw the phone aside with his greasy hands.
"Boss, how about these people? Would you like to have breakfast?" The waiter's voice came from the door.
"I'm looking for someone." Su Tianyu walked in in casual clothes.
Fei Pingsheng didn't even raise his head before he recognized Su Tianyu's voice: "Here, brother!"
Su Tianyu walked over and sat down. Looking at the chicken bones on the table, Roubaozi said, "You have a good appetite. You just ate a chicken so early in the morning?"
"I have a habit of eating dry chicken in the morning."
"Do it yourself." Su Tianyu replied, then turned around and shouted, "Give me two buns and a bowl of porridge."
"Okay." The waiter replied.
"How is my wife?" Fei Pingsheng asked while eating.
"I have a good time playing with my brother." Su Tianyu stopped talking.
"?" Fei Pingsheng frowned: "No, brother, I didn't offend you, did I? Why do you talk to me like shit?"
"Hurry up and talk seriously. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Su Tianyu replied with a frown.
"well."
Fei Pingsheng stopped eating, wiped his mouth with a sigh, and introduced softly: "I found the right spot, at the junction of Casaro and Selden. There is also a small labor company there. They have been receiving goods in the past two days, and they may be preparing to send them away."
Su Tianyu thought for a moment: "Goods or people?"
"Yes." Fei Pingsheng nodded.
Su Tianyu looked at the bald man and asked in confusion: "What on earth are they going to do with so many people?"
"No, they don't really have that many people." Fei Pingsheng waved his hand and replied, "They also carefully select the people they kidnap and sell. They have people of all ages, and they also have to do physical examinations. As far as I know, after these people are sent away, they will be taken to a certain place to work as drug testers for some well-known pharmaceutical companies in District 1."
"Drug tester?"
"Based on the information I have, it should be like this." Fei Pingsheng replied in an affirmative tone: "This is a gray industry chain that looks shallow on the surface, but is actually very deep."
"The job of drug tester can be recruited from the public. If you pay, someone will do it. Why do we have to kidnap them?" Su Tianyu said puzzledly: "Whether it was before the Epoch or in Dragon City now, aren't there companies that specialize in recruiting drug testers?"
"That's a formal drug test, big brother!" Fei Pingsheng whispered back, "Those that you can see and dare to use on humans have gone through countless clinical trials, and the risk is very low. But this is different. For drugs that need to be developed quickly, the clinical costs of multiple layers of research and development can be directly saved, and the initial dose can be used on humans. How much cost will be saved? How much will the research and development speed be increased? Have you ever thought about the amount of money saved? Just think about it, if you want to develop a cold medicine, is it faster to test it directly on humans or on mice?"
When Su Tianyu heard this, his brows furrowed and he felt indescribably annoyed.
"This fucked-up society has given rise to this kind of industry." Fei Pingsheng also sighed: "There are wars and unrest everywhere, and human life is worthless! That's why they dare to do this."
"How long have you been following this line?" Su Tianyu asked.
"Several of my brothers have also disappeared. I suspect it has something to do with this gang." Fei Pingsheng replied softly, "I have been chasing them for more than two years."
"Don't talk nonsense. Apart from looking for brothers, is there any other reason?" Su Tianyu asked Fei Pingsheng with his eyes fixed.
"Nothing can be hidden from your sharp eyes." Fei Pingsheng said helplessly: "A boss also asked me to investigate this matter. If it works, I can make a lot of money."
"Who is the boss?" Su Tianyu asked.
"To be honest, I don't know who the boss is. I just get the money through a middleman." Fei Pingsheng frowned and replied, "And look at how we are doing. Do we look like we are serving some organization?"
Su Tianyu was silent.
"I'm now eyeing the spot that seems to be making some progress. How about we take it down together and both get what we want?" Fei Pingsheng asked.
"Are you sure that the hostages Wang Zhen took away are also at the final destination?" Su Tianyu asked.
"Not sure, but this has no impact on our plan." Fei Pingsheng turned his head and looked around, lowering his voice and said, "If we really find their lair, will it be difficult to get the two people back?"
Su Tianyu licked his lips and fell into deep thought.
Fei Pingsheng didn't urge him and sat opposite him and started smoking.
Su Tianyu sat quietly in a chair and finished his breakfast. Then he wiped his mouth and asked, "How many people are there in that base?"
"There are about 30 people working here, including inside and outside." Fei Pingsheng replied, "But there is a difficulty in this job."
"What's the difficulty?" Su Tianyu asked.
"Our goal is to dig out the final destination of the sender from these people. So if we want to do it, we must kill them all at once and not let any one go alive. Otherwise, if the other side is prepared, we will be finished." Fei Pingsheng told his plan.
"How many people can you provide?" Su Tianyu asked again.
"About fifteen."
"… Then I have to find at least 40 people?" Su Tianyu was speechless: "Is that all you have?!"
"Many of my brothers are not here, please take care of them." Fei Pingsheng replied.
"Okay, I'll back off a step. I'll sentence your wife to life imprisonment, and you'll give me ten more people."
"Fuck, brother, if you say that, I will turn myself in now and stop playing!" Fei Pingsheng replied with his eyes wide open.
A few minutes later, Su Tianyu picked up his phone and instantly thought of several good players.
Tianhong Port—Wei is in charge!
The best swordsman in Zhannan—Master Lu!
The rising star of the Coast Guard—Hou Guoyu!
The elder who got the Tongji Club for free—Lao Hei!
