Chapter 105: Chapter 105 Parting
“Lao Duan, it’s not your business, so don’t get involved in this!” the soldier frowned and said. Originally the other party only had three dark warriors. But from Lao Duan’s words, he could sense that this guy was trying to help him.
Soldier Zhang had already made up his mind. He wanted to fire the warning shot to call for help. However, if he really fired the shot, then the reward would be split between even more people. His share would be reduced. He didn’t want to do it, but it was better than having nothing.
“Inspector Zhang, please, may I have a word with you privately,” Duan Danian said. He said it respectfully, but his hands were dragging soldier Zhang to the back of the truck that was used as a barrier.
It took them about 10 minutes to finally come back.
Duan Danian gave Chu Yunsheng an ‘okay’ sign while following inspector Zhang back to the crowd. It made Chu Yunsheng puzzled about what he was doing.
“Chu? Mr. Chu right? If you are worried about the safety of the tiger, I’ll ask someone to guide you to the General Command Headquarters’ Species Management Department. You can take it there yourself.” inspector Zhang said it quickly and vaguely. Not many people caught exactly what he said. He then whispered into the security guard’s ear behind him and signaled Chu Yunsheng to hurry up pa.s.sing the checkpoint.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t really trust those guys. One was the bandit who was trying to rob him before, the other one was trying to take the tiger away from him. Who knows what they were trying to do next. So he just stood there not moving and hurried up restoring his energy.
He only trusted himself.
“Next!” inspector Zhang went back to his table, sat down and shouted loudly. He had already stopped looking at Chu Yunsheng and carried on his routine check. It was like he did not mind whatever Chu Yunsheng was doing, and things were already over now.
Chu Yunsheng still stood there not moving until he finally restored his energy. Zhao Shanhe and Huang Renkuan both got their doc.u.ments already. So three of them followed the soldier that Inspector Zhang a.s.signed to them together and got into the city that they had been dreaming of every day.
Inspector Zhang’s man only led them for a short distance, then he returned to the checkpoint after the leader of the bandit gave him a cigarette. Now, it only left Chu Yunsheng’s group three and the bandits.
Chu Yunsheng couldn’t help but laugh at himself. It seemed like he was a little bit overreacted.
“Brother Chu, let me introduce myself again, my name is Duan Danian, from Wu city. I’m sorry that I offended you earlier, please don’t keep that in mind.” Duan Danian said before Chu Yunsheng had a chance to ask him why he wanted to help him.
“Since we didn’t have any fights, I already forgot about it. Anyway, I have to thank you for what you did earlier. You helped me, but I don’t like to owe people. What you gave to Inspector Zhang, I’ll give you double in return.” Chu Yunsheng said it straight away. He did not believe that this guy had suddenly discovered his conscience. This guy must have other plans. Since Chu Yunsheng himself just came to this city, he didn’t know anything about this city, so it was better not to be involved in any of this guy’s business.
“No. No… It’s my apology. That’s just some small things, brother Chu, please don’t keep that in mind.” Duan Danian waved his hand and said.
“Bo… bo… boss… we gave… gave inspector Zhang a pack… pack of very expensive cigarettes.” the skinny stammer said.
“You f.u.c.king idiot. Shut the f.u.c.k up!” Duan Danian was angered by his complaint. He pushed the skinny stammer over and said, “brother Chu, my man is a dumb f.u.c.k, he always says some stupid s.h.i.+t…”
Chu Yunsheng smiled. He knew what this guy was doing. What they did was to indirectly tell him that they paid a heavy price for this favour. Not only him, everyone else including Zhao Shanhe could tell what they really meant by that.
But there was one thing Chu Yunsheng did not understand. Comparing cigarettes with food, one was purely for pleasure, the other was a necessity. Why was cigarettes expensive?
But he didn’t ask them, who knows what Jin Ling city had become, and how bad the situation inside the city was. Food, security, etc… Maybe the military had enough food for everyone, but no matter what the answer was, he wanted to find out by himself.
Since Duan Danian insisted it was an apology, he did not want to stay here any longer. He had already gotten into the city, what he needed to do next was to hurry up going to the city north where his aunt’s house was. He was scared that the aunt’s house would be empty, and he wouldn’t be able to find his aunt.
“Since you insisted, I’ll call you Lao Duan. I have other things to do, so I hope we will see each other again soon,” Chu Yunsheng said.
“Chu, I promised Chui Yuquan that I’ll wait for them, and I believe that they still have a chance, a chance to survive in this world! I know you probably have heard a lot of thank you from me and others, but thank you!” Zhao Shanhe said while having a big bright smile on his face.
“Brother Chu…” Duan Danian finally got a chance to talk, but as soon as he said this, he was immediately interrupted by Huang Renkuan,”Xiao Zhao, don’t worry about Lao Chui’s group, I’ll take them with me. I don’t believe that they will not acknowledge my 20 years of hard work for the government,”
Of course, Chu Yunsheng knew that Huang Renkuan was doing it for other purposes, but at least, those people had someone to look after them, it was not a bad thing.
“Please say goodbye to Lao Chui, Meng Meng and other people for me, I need to leave now.” Chu Yunsheng put the tiger on the ground, adjusted his clothes and shoelaces.
The agreement he had with Lao Chui was to escort them to Jin Ling city, however, not only did he fulfill his agreement, but he also contributed a lot to the group. Whether it was the meat worm he gave to them or the milk powder, or saving the little girl Meng Meng, or killing the golden-sh.e.l.led monster, he did a lot more than he should have. He had already told them that one day he would leave, so now, it was the time.
After saying goodbye to Zhao Shanhe and Huang Renkuan, Chu Yunsheng took out the Jin Ling city’s map that he had prepared a long time ago and headed to the city north.
There were many stickers on the walls on both sides of the city entrance. Each sticker had a wish written on it.
“Lao gong, (Husband in Chinese) We are here already, our daughter is still alive, but where are you?”
“Son. Are you still alive… I shouldn’t have forced you to study in Shen Cheng city…”
“Lao Po (Wife in Chinese) where are you…”
“Mom… dad…. sister and I are already here, but she is injured… I’m so scared… Where are you…”
…
