Border City (1)
After scaring the three people who came uninvited, Tang Zhen finally vented the anger in his heart.
Every debt had its debtor. Speaking of which, the three of them were a little wronged. They came here to do normal work, but Tang Zhen didn’t care about this.
Moreover, he was also wronged. It was not like anyone cared about that.
He believed that for a long time, the three of them would have nightmares when they slept at night.
On the other hand, if the guy who provoked him still refused to let him go after being sent to the hospital, Tang Zhen didn’t mind teaching him a lesson.
For the current Tang Zhen, it was simply too easy to do something that required violence to solve.
Just as he sent away the three frightened men, Tang Zhen’s cell phone suddenly rang. It was his new cell phone that he had just bought.
As for the original mutated cell phone, after activating the transformation plug-in, it had already become the necklace on his neck and was carefully protected.
He glanced at the caller ID. It was Xu Feng.
“Hello, Tang Zhen, the matter is settled. Bring the money. Let’s meet at the high-speed toll station in the afternoon.”
After the call was picked up, Xu Feng only said a few words before hanging up.
After lunch, Tang Zhen saw that it was about time, so he took a taxi to the meeting place the two of them had agreed on.
When the two of them met at the highway toll station outside the city, Xu Feng had long parked his Land Rover beside the highway and was blowing smoke rings into the sky in boredom.
After seeing Tang Zhen come over, Xu Feng rolled his eyes angrily and said sarcastically, “You’re really something. You have to provide for your sister’s school fees and repay the debt for that damn father. Why? Can’t you take it anymore? Are you trying to take a shortcut to earn money like other people?
“Firearms and explosives are dangerous things! Let me remind you, if you want to run away, do it now. It’s best if you don’t touch something like this!”
Tang Zhen was a little touched. With Xu Feng’s usual personality, it was obvious that Xu Feng treated him as a brother for constantly reminding him.
At the thought of this, Tang Zhen no longer played dumb. He patted his chest and promised Xu Feng, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t use these things to do anything illegal. Do you trust me now?”
Xu Feng spat. “Like hell I do!”
Tang Zhen took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. After taking a puff, he looked at Xu Feng and said slowly, “What I’ve been busy with recently is quite dangerous. As for what I’m doing, I won’t say, so don’t ask.
“Perhaps I really won’t be able to come back one day. When that happens, just pretend that I’ve never existed in this world.
“I’ve always treated you as a brother in my heart. If I’m really gone, I’ll leave my sister in your care. If she suffers, I won’t let you off even if I freaking become a ghost!”
Tang Zhen’s expression was very serious. After all, this sister was his only concern.
However, this time, Xu Feng didn’t say anything. He just nodded with a serious expression. Then, he took a deep look at Tang Zhen and started the car.
After Tang Zhen sat in it, Xu Feng drove the car and passed the toll station and got on the highway. Along the way, Xu Feng stepped on the accelerator and pushed it all the way down. After passing car after car, he was getting closer and closer to his destination.
The car drove north and gradually approached the border river of the Federation. Soon, it drove into the downtown area of the small town located on the border.
There were very few cars on the riverside road here. From time to time, foreigners could be seen driving past on ships from afar. There were even girls from the Icefield Alliance with proud figures lying naked on the beach to sunbathe.
Tang Zhen had been here twice, so he was not unfamiliar with the environment here. He was also very satisfied with the delicacies here.
After driving for a few hours, the two of them were already hungry. They simply drove to a local restaurant with a good reputation.
The renovation of the restaurant wasn’t luxurious, but business was booming.
The two of them entered the store and first asked for a private room. Tang Zhen entered the bathroom and happily washed his face. When he came out, Xu Feng had already ordered a few special dishes from the restaurant.
Tang Zhen took a look at the menu. It was nothing more than mushrooms, wild vegetables, and river fish stew. It was refreshing and practical to eat.
The two of them were already hungry. They asked for two bowls of rice and wolfed it down. The rice was soft and springy, and it tasted extremely good.
After having eaten some food, they each got a bottle of local beer and finished it in one go.
At this moment, the waiters had already served the dishes one after another. The two of them chatted as they ate. Soon, they had already finished two cups of beer.
Rubbing his bulging stomach, Tang Zhen got up and went to the toilet.
When he returned, he saw four to five tall and strong men sitting near the table. All of them had scars and tattoos on their faces, and they looked murderous. However, at this moment, they were all friendly and frequently toasted Xu Feng.
Seeing Tang Zhen enter the private room, everyone turned their attention to him. Xu Feng even smiled and waved his hand to introduce, “This is Tang Zhen, my good friend.”
As he spoke, he pointed at the few burly men wantonly. “These few are brothers who live nearby. In the future, if you come here to do something, just look for them!”
The few of them immediately replied with humility. Even though they were pointed at by Xu Feng, they still smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with Tang Zhen.
After a few words of praise, everyone became familiar with each other and kept clinking glasses.
However, Tang Zhen also noticed something. These few people were clearly not kind people that were not easy to talk to. However, now, they were clearly deliberately pleasing Xu Feng.
After seeing this situation, Tang Zhen couldn’t help but be curious about Xu Feng’s current identity. Although the two of them could be considered brothers and Tang Zhen also knew that Xu Feng’s power on both sides of the law wasn’t small, he wasn’t too sure about the specific extent.
Since Xu Feng was unwilling to mention it, he naturally wouldn’t keep asking.
Tang Zhen’s alcohol tolerance was originally not bad. After absorbing the bead and mutating his body, his physique suddenly increased a lot, and his alcohol tolerance also increased greatly. At this moment, he had already finished 20 bottles of beer, but his expression still didn’t change, making everyone praise in unison.
Although there were also people who could hold their liquor well and could also finish the same amount of beer, it was very difficult for one to become this tolerant to alcohol in a short period of time. From this, one could tell the level of their alcohol tolerance.
The people of the north had rough personalities, and it was best to get closer to them by drinking together. At this moment, seeing that Tang Zhen was so magnanimous and had an extraordinary relationship with Xu Feng, they all thought highly of him in their hearts.
These guys were all famous and powerful locals in the vicinity. Their ambitions were extraordinary, and ordinary people weren’t able to impress them.
After drinking another round, the night had already passed by. It was already nine the next morning when Tang Zhen woke up.
After stretching his numb arm, Tang Zhen washed up and pulled Xu Feng out of bed. This guy drank as much as him last night and was still lying on the bed playing dead.
After Xu Feng came out of the hotel’s guest room cursing, the two of them went out to get a simple bite.
Xu Feng made a call during this period. Then, the two of them rode Xu Feng’s car out of the city and headed straight for the deep forest along a gravel road.
