Chapter 72: Could it be that this person is Cui Zhiqiang!
Soon, the two of them arrived at the county seat.
Although everything is dark in the county town at night, you can still occasionally see a glimmer of light coming from not far away. It dangles for a moment and then disappears again soon.
Just like the people walking around in the county at this time, most of them are silent.
At most, I saw a shadow passing by, caught a little sound floating in the wind, and then disappeared again.
However, the county town seems to be particularly quiet tonight, as if something is brewing, like the calm before the storm!
Because he heard the little girl's voice before, he was on guard, so as soon as he arrived in the county seat, Xu Xiangbei vaguely sensed something was wrong.
Xu Xiangbei did not go directly to the agreed place, but moved to another more remote place, and then took out all the things he brought.
“Little girl, hurry up and get dressed.”
This is a disguise that Xu Xiangbei specially brought. The baggy clothes covered Xu Jinning's petite body, and then covered her face and head, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
“Little girl, when you follow me later, just remember to follow me and don’t talk.”
“Yeah.” Xu Jinning let Xu Xiangbei dress her up and nodded.
After making sure that the little girl was ready, Xu Xiangbei made a simple disguise for himself.
"Walk."
Then, Xu Xiangbei hid the bicycle somewhere, held Xu Jinning's hand, and kept shuttling through the alley.
“Brother, are we going directly to the trading place?” Xu Jinning asked. If so, then we definitely can’t go.
“No, I’ll go find someone first.”
Xu Jinning breathed a sigh of relief. As he kept going back and forth, he was soon led to a remote small house.
Xu Xiangbei knocked on the door with his fingers, knocking rhythmically, like some kind of secret signal.
After the knocking on the door stopped, not long after, footsteps were heard from inside, and then the door opened a small crack.
"who?"
“I am a leopard.” Xu Xiangbei said.
Here, no one uses their real names, only their own nicknames.
The man was relieved when he heard Xu Xiangbei's voice, and quickly caught a glimpse of someone behind him.
“Did you bring anyone else with you?”
"Um."
“Is it credible?”
“Believable.”
…Okay, come in then.”
Xu Xiangbei took Xu Jinning and walked in.
After entering, Xu Jinning discovered that there were many people here, but everyone was just like her and Xu Xiangbei, and they were all disguised.
Unless they knew each other, they didn't talk to each other. It seemed like this was just a place to stay.
Each of them seems to be waiting for something.
Xu Xiangbei led Xu Jinning inside and explained: "Everyone here is here to pick up goods. In about an hour, goods will be delivered here. There are many types of goods. When the time comes, I will You can take whatever goods you want, as long as you have enough money and contacts."
【No, isn't it that the police are ambushing and arresting people here tonight? 】
Xu Jinning was so frightened that he immediately wanted to take Xu Xiangbei and run away.
Xu Xiangbei said hurriedly: "I did trade here before, but not tonight."
Xu Jinning felt slightly relieved and a little confused. Xu Xiangbei lowered his voice and said: "The goods I want tonight are too valuable and cannot be easily seen by others, so they are traded separately in another place."
At this time, Xu Xiangbei saw the person he was looking for, and pulled Xu Jinning forward.
“Qiangzi.” Xu shouted to the north.
The man in the same disguise turned around and saw Xu Xiangbei. He seemed to be relieved, and then he hit his shoulder and said, "Why are you here just now? I thought you weren't coming."
Xu Jinning’s exposed eyes looked at the person in front of him.
Qiangzi, is this person Cui Zhiqiang?
Because of the disguise, Xu Jinning could not see the specific appearance of Cui Zhiqiang.
But in the book, Cui Zhiqiang’s appearance is described.
Cui Zhiqiang's face is a relatively delicate one, so pretty that he is able to attract the city girl Zhang Xiaoyan at once.
Moreover, he is tall enough and his figure looks well-proportioned.
If it was really a man with dark skin and rough face, Zhang Xiaoyan would definitely not like him.
Love at first sight is nothing more than the hormonal stimulation of a hero saving a beauty, and the desire for sex.
In the book, Cui Zhiqiang was undoubtedly successful in framing Xu Xiangbei this time.
And he did get a 50-yuan bonus and a job by betraying his brother this time.
Finally, he also successfully married Zhang Xiaoyan.
Even later, during the reform and opening up, Cui Zhiqiang went into business, established a company, became an entrepreneur and a rich man, and accumulated a lot of assets.
Because of his career success, he frequently received interviews, appeared in newspapers, and even became a national model at that time.
Although in the end, Cui Zhiqiang had more than just one woman, Zhang Xiaoyan.
Zhang Xiaoyan is his wife, but after his career became successful, Cui Zhiqiang had a lover, and there was more than one.
But this time it was just some of his romantic affairs.
In the life in the book, Cui Zhiqiang was undoubtedly successful.
He did not die until he was in his eighties. When he died, he already had many wives and concubines, many children and grandchildren, and became one of the first-class rich men in the country, with assets all over the country.
But no one knew that his first step towards a successful career was based on betraying his conscience, using his brother as a stepping stone.
At that time, when they saw this plot, Xu Jinning and many readers complained.
This is really too wrong.
Why is Cui Zhiqiang, a person who has no conscience, is selfish, and can't even be faithful to marriage in the end, so successful?
Is it possible that success can only be achieved by having no conscience and relying on means?
How could a wicked person like Cui Zhiqiang live to the end of his life without any retribution?
And there are countless people who were framed on the way to Cui Zhiqiang’s success, and they all became his stepping stones.
Although Xu Jinning has read all the books by that author, it is not because he likes them, but because of his unhealthy outlook on life.
Really, no matter which book the author writes, he will always complain about it.
It seems that the author holds the view that bad people live long and succeed, while good people who have never done evil are destined to be cannon fodder, experience misery, and may even pay the price with their lives in the end.
“Abei, who is this person?”
Cui Zhiqiang saw a petite figure behind Xu Xiangbei and couldn't help but ask.
You know, Xu Xiangbei has always come alone, but today he actually brought someone else with him.
