Chapter 1883: 1883

Ye Qianqian couldn’t contain herself any longer and looked at the female officer as she asked, “Just where did he go?”

The female officer had no reply for her . She simply looked back at her and smiled in response .

Ye Qianqian felt her heart plummet to her stomach .

…

Kingstown was an old city interspersed with streets and lanes and many other alleys leading into smaller villages .

Off a major avenue was a small street known as Songyun South Street . Shen Zhilie followed his GPS navigation, and after searching around for some time, finally found the chess table .

There was a group of gray-haired elderly people sitting around it, and another old man came over, riding on his bicycle . A large umbrella stood above them . The five individuals looked to be in their sixties . A few of them were wearing just an undershirt, a fan in their hands and their legs spread out . The others were immersed in a game of chess .

“And my knight takes yours!” The old man’s hoarse voice was energetic, and he smiled excitedly .

Shen Zhilie walked forward and took a look . He faced one of the old men and said in a soft whisper, “I’m here to buy . ”

The old man’s smile froze in place, and he turned to look at Shen Zhilie, scrutinizing him carefully .

Shen Zhilie’s lips were red, and his face was white . Although there were dark rings around his eyes, it wasn’t the same sort that drug users sported . Clearly, he wasn’t the sort to buy .

The old man decided to feign ignorance . “What are you talking about?” he asked .

“I’m here to buy,” Shen Zhilie repeated himself and took his phone out . He opened the WeChat app and sent a message to a newly added contact . Soon later, a call came in . Shen Zhilie answered the call and passed the phone to the old man .

It was clear that the ruffian was on familiar terms with the old man . The old man looked Shen Zhilie up and down carefully before mumbling something into the phone that Shen Zhilie couldn’t catch . After a few grunts of affirmation, the old man pointed inside with his fan and sent someone a short message via WeChat before returning the phone to Shen Zhilie .

Shen Zhilie understood immediately . He kept his phone in his pocket and headed in the direction the man had pointed in . There were very few people inside, and there was a little kid running around the entrance .

Shen Zhilie walked in, and when he saw the child, he asked, “Hey, little kid . Are there any adults inside?”

The child wasn’t afraid of strangers and innocently pointed to the back with laughter on his face .

Shen Zhilie went in and saw that the main door was wide open . Stepping inside, he found a middle-aged woman in her thirties . Her skin was tan, and she was scratching her head . She looked at Shen Zhilie and asked, “What the h*ll do you want?”

“I’m here to buy,” Shen Zhilie repeated himself .

The woman asked, “For whom?”

“Him . ”

Shen Zhilie took out his cell phone and showed her the WeChat message . It was the same message that the old man outside had sent . The woman looked at it and replied, “Five thousand . ”

Shen Zhilie had no idea what the market rate was, but he had brought a lot of money with him . When he heard that, he dug his cash out and counted five thousand yuan before passing it to her .

Only after the woman verified that the cash was real did she take out a small bag the size of two fingers from a drawer in the table .

“That’s all?” Shen Zhilie asked with a frown .

The woman laughed chillingly . “This must be your first time buying . You’ll get used to it after a while . F*ck off now, and watch your step on the way out . ”

‘What a horrible attitude this woman has!’

Shen Zhilie didn’t say a word . He shoved the thing into his pocket and walked out .

Before he could exit the alley, he received another call from an unidentified number . It was from a landline again . The man kept calling him from different landlines, but Shen Zhilie was used to it by now .

Upon answering the call, a very unpleasant voice sounded over the phone, “Walk out . ”

“I’m already out . ”

“Turn left . ”
