Chapter 315 Revenge
, grudges from more than ten years ago (two chapters in one)
The superpower used by the bald man from the Red Blood Gang not only made the coachman and the girls in the carriage fall asleep, but also made the horse pulling the carriage fall asleep.
Lin Li came to the carriage, reached out and patted the horse's head, waking up the sleeping horse.
“咴咴……”
The horse woke up and barked a few times, looking around blankly.
Lin Li boarded the carriage, and before getting into the carriage, he shook the coachman who was sleeping soundly on the carriage floor a few times.
"Huh?" The driver who woke up sat up and, like the horse pulling the cart, looked left and right in a daze, and then the dazed look on his face was quickly washed away by the heavier rain.
Already.
He took out the raincoat prepared in the car and put it on, then waved the reins in his hand to signal the horse to set off.
“咴咴……”
After receiving the order, the horse barked a few times and immediately took steps to pull the carriage forward.
It also seemed to know that the rain would get heavier and it had to go home quickly to take shelter from the rain, so the horse ran much faster.
The patter of rain became more and more intensive, and the raindrops as big as beads formed a line, and followed the howling wind, and crackled against the window of the carriage.
Rain streaks appeared on the transparent glass and flowed along the window edge to the ground.
The wheels rolled and passed through small puddles, splashing water.
This heavy rain came very quickly, but it gave people enough time to prepare to welcome it.
When the carriage left the land under development and entered the lush neighborhood, almost no pedestrians were seen on the road. Everyone knew that a heavy rainstorm was coming, so they all took shelter.
Lin Li sat on the bench, listening to the sound of rain outside the car window, closing his eyes and concentrating, thinking in his mind who he should contact to get information about the Red Blood Gang.
The girl who took Lin Li to see the house this time was still sleeping soundly on the small table. Lin Li entered the carriage and did not wake the girl up, but allowed her to continue sleeping.
"Boom..."
A huge thunder sounded, and bright silver-white lightning flashed, and then branches and leaves quickly spread, illuminating a large area of the dark sky.
The girl who was sleeping soundly on the small table was awakened by the sound of thunder. She raised her head, seemingly unaware of where she was.
It wasn't until the girl saw Lin Li closing his eyes and concentrating, that she realized that she was taking the customer to see the house on site, and then she was going to return to her place of work to sign the house purchase contract.
"Eh?!!!"
"Why did I suddenly fall asleep? It's really inappropriate. Mr. Lin won't be angry, right?" The girl who woke up couldn't help but thought to herself with some worry.
If Lin Li knew what she was thinking at this moment, he would definitely feel that this girl is really a person whose emotions are very easy to fluctuate.
However, people like this who express their happiness and worries on their faces can easily be seen through their thoughts. Lin Li doesn't dislike such people.
It's not like a cunning woman on Blue Star, who sometimes doesn't show her emotions or anger, can't guess her thoughts at all, and doesn't want to deal with it.
Lin Li noticed that the sleeping girl woke up, opened her eyes and looked at her.
At this moment, the girl had cleared away the sleepiness on her face and was sitting with an upright attitude.
Looking at the other party's appearance, it was obvious that just like the driver who was driving the carriage outside, he didn't think much about his sudden sleep. He had no idea that a practitioner had used his superpower not long ago.
That's fine. The two of them don't know anything, but they are safe.
The girl saw Lin Li looking at her and said a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry! I accidentally fell asleep just now..."
Lin Li said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. You feel sleepy after working too hard. This is human nature..."
He said this as a deliberate guide. If a girl later thinks about why she fell asleep suddenly, she will follow Lin Li's guidance and think that she fell asleep because she was too tired from work.
Lin Li's guidance was very successful. When the girl heard what he said, she nodded in agreement.
As a new girl, during the two days she joined this real estate agency, she learned from the old employees and read a lot of information. She was really tired...
After a brief chat, Lin Li asked a question casually.
"Ms. Wang, do you know anything about the Red Blood Gang?"
Although he felt that the girl in front of him, whose thoughts were clearly displayed on her face, might not know much about the Crimson Blood Gang, Lin Li wanted to collect information about the Crimson Blood Gang early, so he tried to ask casually.
"Red Blood Gang? I know! Mr. Lin, why do you ask this?"
The girl's answer was beyond Lin Li's expectation. He didn't expect that the girl in front of him actually knew about the Scarlet Blood Gang, and what he thought was different.
"When I was drinking tea in a teahouse, I heard someone mention the Red Blood Gang, and then I became a little curious." Lin Li made up a random reason.
"Mr. Lin, let me tell you! There are many bad people in the Red Blood Gang. Well, I should say they are all bad people. If we ordinary people encounter them on the street, it is best to stay away from them immediately.
By the way, since you are asking this, you must not know how to identify people from the Red Blood Gang. Let me teach you how to identify their members!" the girl said very enthusiastically.
"Members of the Red Blood Gang will have a weird tattoo on the back of their hands, the pattern looks like a caterpillar, and their behavior is very rude, and they often curse others.
So if you meet a very rude person on the street with a caterpillar tattoo on the back of his hand, you can basically be sure that he is from the Red Blood Gang."
"..."
What's a bad choice for a tattoo? Why choose a caterpillar? The people in the Red Blood Gang are really weird... Lin Li thought about it for a moment.
The five members of the Red Blood Gang who he threw into the river just now did have caterpillar tattoos on the backs of their hands.
Lin Li really couldn't understand why the Red Blood Gang chose such an ugly pattern as a symbol of membership.
Is it possible that the leader of the Red Blood Gang has a unique aesthetic? Is it possible that the caterpillar is very handsome and domineering?
It is not easy for a girl to hide her inner thoughts. In other words, she may have encountered people from the Red Blood Gang bullying the weak before.
So when Lin Li asked about the Scarlet Blood Gang, she immediately told everything she knew about the Scarlet Blood Gang.
"This gang formed by the gathering of bad guys has not been sanctioned. Its behavior is still very arrogant. It can only be said that it is a feudal society." Lin Li listened to the girl's story about the Red Blood Gang and thought in his heart.
Feel it.
"Mr. Lin, you must not have too much contact with the Red Blood Gang out of curiosity!
I heard that there was a businessman who wanted to do business with the Scarlet Blood Gang, but in the end, not only his money was swallowed up by the Scarlet Blood Gang, but he also lost his life," the girl reminded.
"Thank you for the reminder. I was just curious to know about the Red Blood Gang. I never thought about contacting them or doing business or anything like that."
Lin Li smiled and thanked the girl for her kind reminder, and then he asked with some doubts.
"Since the Scarlet Blood Gang you mentioned has done a lot of bad things, doesn't the Yamen want to eradicate them?"
The girl shook her head helplessly and sighed.
"Why……"
"It's not that the Yamen side hasn't thought about eradicating the Red Blood Gang, but they just can't do it because there is no evidence. And ah! I heard..."
The girl paused for a moment, then whispered to Lin Li, "I heard someone said that there is someone behind the Red Blood Gang, and he is a big shot.
It is said that the people at the Yamen once had the evidence that the Red Blood Gang was doing evil and wanted to take action against the Red Blood Gang, but as a result, the evidence that could prove that the Red Blood Gang was doing evil was missing."
Lin Li looked at the girl with a serious face and cautiously recounted the gossip he had heard, and suddenly came up with the idea of making a little joke with the girl.
"Miss Wang, I didn't expect that our Red Blood Gang would be so bad in your eyes."
"Ah?!!!" When the girl heard Lin Li claiming to be from the Red Blood Gang, she immediately exclaimed, covering her mouth with both hands, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
Lin Li saw the panic on the girl's face and knew that it was not good to continue the joke. He immediately explained to the girl, "Sorry, I was joking with you, don't take it seriously..."
"Huh..." The girl let out a long sigh of relief, her anxious heart immediately relieved. Lin Li's joke just now scared her quite a bit.
After all, she spoke so vividly about the Red Blood Gang, so she naturally understood the petty personalities of the Red Blood Gang members.
Although they are indeed bad, and they all admit this, if they know that there is a woman speaking ill of the Red Blood Gang behind their back, there is a high probability that they will come to their door and have a 'cordial' communication.
"Ms. Wang, I just listened to what you said about the Red Blood Gang, and I have a better understanding of them.
They are so bad. If they know that you are speaking ill of them behind their back, they will most likely cause trouble for you. In the future, you should not casually tell others about the Red Blood Gang, lest it spread to their ears."
Lin Li suggested.
"Yeah." The girl nodded seriously, and then said straightforwardly.
"I know Mr. Lin that you are not a bad person, so you just asked about the Scarlet Blood Gang, so I told you everything I know about the Scarlet Blood Gang."
Lin Li, who unexpectedly got a good guy card, smiled, and then started chatting with the girl again, but this time he didn't talk about the Red Blood Gang, but some light topics.
For example, are there any interesting places to visit in Dongwucheng, or are there some famous restaurants that you can go to?
…………
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Layers of dark clouds shrouded most of Dongwu City, and bright silver-white electric lights flashed frequently in the dark clouds.
Whenever it rains heavily like this, the residents of Dongwu City will be very grateful. The city lord has been renovating or building new drainage facilities in Dongwu City for more than ten years.
In the memories of many residents of Dongwu City, more than ten years ago, when the city lord did not come to Dongwu City to be the city lord.
Once there is a heavy rain in Dongwu City, many places in the city will accumulate water due to old and backward drainage facilities, thus flooding large areas.
At the entrance to the city lord's palace in Dongwu City, two huge stone lions stand.
In the city lord's palace, a tall, middle-aged man with an upright face stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the sky with lightning and thunder in the distance, frowning and thinking about something.
"Tap, step, step..."
A sound of slightly hasty footsteps came from the corridor outside the door.
After a while, a man with a knife hanging on his waist came to the door of the study, clasped his hands in fists, and shouted to the middle-aged man standing in front of the window in the study.
"Lord City Lord."
Li Dingtian, who was thinking about the matter, heard the voice coming from the door and turned to look at him.
"Come in."
After receiving permission, the man with the saber walked into the study.
"How's the matter you were asked to investigate?" Li Dingtian came to sit down at his desk and asked.
"As the Lord of the City guessed, there shouldn't have been heavy rains in this month of this year. The sudden rain the day before yesterday was indeed strange.
According to your instructions, Lord City Lord, I led people to conduct an investigation and found that this unusual heavy rainstorm is related to that strange beast." The man with the knife looked at Li Dingtian with admiration and reported the report.
"Ha..." Li Dingtian chuckled, took a sip of tea from the tea cup on the table, and then said with disdain.
"Ever since I defeated that strange beast more than ten years ago, I have always felt unwilling to do so, but after it recovered from its injuries, it has yet to make any move.
I have been dragging it on for so many years and have only taken action now. I want to see it. How do I want to take revenge this time?
If you just want to use heavy rain to take revenge, that would be a joke."
The man with the knife nodded and said with a smile, "That strange beast probably thought that our Dongwu City would be flooded due to heavy rains like it was more than ten years ago. It's really ridiculous."
After his subordinate finished speaking, Li Dingtian thought for a while and said, "The heavy rainstorm the day before yesterday just ended, and another one happened the next day.
Although we have continuously renovated or built new drainage facilities for more than ten years, our ability to withstand heavy rains has been greatly improved, but if we let that strange beast continue to run rampant, problems will arise if we do not ensure adequate protection."
"What do you mean, Lord City Lord?" the man with the knife asked.
"It's disrespectful to come back without reciprocating. Since that strange beast has tolerated it for so many years and now comes to take revenge on us, we must show it some kindness in return." Li Dingtian said.
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
"You don't have to be too harsh, just let it understand that we already know that the heavy rain in Dongwu City was its fault."
"yes."
The man with the saber nodded, then left the study and began to implement the attack plan.
