No Escape
"Wood..."
Wood, who was having dinner with friends, heard someone calling him. He was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw a former "alumni".
Not many people knew that Wood was transferred to Federal Bureau of Investigation Secret Police after attending the police academy, including his parents.
In the eyes of many people, there is not much difference between Wood and ordinary people. In the current social background of Bayer Federation, in fact, police schools are not even as good as some technical schools that specialize in training workers.
The police itself is a very dangerous job, but the wages are very low. In the eyes of ordinary people, the police are not as promising as a plumber. Maybe only the police themselves think that they are not bad.
Wood was not recruited by Sabine City district Police Station to become a Sabine City police officer, and his parents even opened a bottle of wine to celebrate.
Compared with the dangerous job of the police, security may be better.
So no one knows that Wood has actually become an agent of Federal Bureau of Investigation, including his closest relatives.
Even the salary paid to him by Federal Bureau of Investigation was allocated to his Chief through special funds for activities, and then his Chief was transferred into a secret account.
This money will not be activated until the Wood undercover agent succeeds or fails completely. It is not only the ability of the police system to trace the source of Zong Shuo through consumption records, some criminal groups also have this ability.
One account can reveal too much information, and Wood can only rely on the money he earned while undercover to live.
In the eyes of most people, Wood has almost the same life as most people. After wasting his best youth, he entered the society and started working without learning anything.
It's just that he was lucky and accidentally became an excellent businessman. At least that's what he explained to his family. When he put a bankbook worth tens of thousands of dollars in front of his parents, these people were shocked.
Their first thought was not how powerful Wood was and how much money he could make, but whether they should surrender so that they could entrust a lawyer to ask the judge to be lenient when sentencing.
This situation often occurs in low-income families. Some children suddenly come back with a bag of money, and then embark on another life, and eventually disappear in the dark night sky in the most splendid years of their lives.
Fortunately, he explained clearly and took his family to meet his "followers", which made Wood's family start to raise their heads.
At this time, in a barbecue shop, they had just concluded an auction two days ago. Because Richard left, Wood, who had always been lucky, successfully won the first place in the auction.
It is also possible that the local desire to consume second-hand goods has gradually faded under the influence of social consumerism (especially public opinion). The transaction volume of the auction two days ago dropped rapidly to more than 370,000.
Even if it is the first place Wood, his income is only about 3,000 yuan.
But even though it was only three thousand yuan, his income still made many people feel hopelessly high. Maybe Lin Qi had temporarily forgotten about the carnival, or had other arrangements, and Young Men did not get the same opportunity as before.
Today follows Monday, everyone has time, Wood found Young Men, and found a barbecue restaurant for "luxury".
He is not as rich as Lin Qi, who can make everyone find happiness. He can only fill people's stomachs, but this also makes people very grateful to him.
Before becoming Wood's followers, many of these people were on the verge of starvation.
When Wood had a real smile on his face, a strange, almost forgotten voice came over.
He glanced back and saw that it was Terry, his classmate in high school, who was doing relatively well at the time.
There are always some students in schools who seem to have no connection with book knowledge, but who are very happy in society.
The vast majority of normal students actually look down on these students. They think that if these students do not study hard, they will definitely be able to work in the lowest jobs in the future. This is also the view that the entire society and teachers have always instilled in students, and it is also the most correct universal value.
But in fact, when everyone enters the society, they will find that some things are completely different from what they learned when they were students.
Of course, this does not include students who have already gone to college, because these talented teachers and "students" in social perception will become the social elite as soon as they graduate, and those below college are not.
Most of the students who looked down on Terry would turn into those who lowered their heads to serve him. This could be seen from the summer suit he was wearing at this time, which cost no less than 100 yuan.
Wood stood up. Two young men noticed something unusual and wanted to join him, but he stopped them.
In the eyes of many people, he is just an ordinary salesman, or a partner of Lin Qi. He is young and does not look very special, but only he knows what kind of training he has received and what kind of identity he has now.
He was not afraid of Terry who was in the gang at all. Instead, he had a very special and strong feeling in his heart.
"Terry!"
Terry was wearing a nice summer dress and had two Gold Ring on his fingers. Wood noticed that his Gold Ring ring had a seven-pointed star.
Moreover, Terry also has a seven-pointed star tattooed on the left side of his neck, the size of a fingernail.
This is the local gang of Sabine City, and their name is Seven Stars. They specialize in the skin and flesh business, and they also have some people under them.
It is said that Police Station and Bureau of Investigation investigated this gang, but did not find any evidence that was too illegal. Coupled with some special social factors, they did not take action against them in the end.
Many of the girls who trade there are from very poor families and need money. These girls are not found by the Seven Stars gang through illegal or immoral methods.
They only provide a platform, and even in the eyes of some people, Seven Stars helps protect these girls who are engaged in personal charity aid business and helps them avoid harm from some people.
The authorities have temporarily acquiesced to the existence of this gang. After all, with their presence, at least some innocent girls who can be said to be poor will not have accidents.
The reality that makes people feel funny but makes them laugh out loud is so contrary to common sense and also ironic.
Terry nodded. He looked Wood up and down, then smiled and punched his shoulder. The fist was not heavy, but Wood's followers stood up immediately.
This surprised Terry. He looked at Wood, and Wood made a gesture to ask the followers to sit down again.
"Who are you following now?" Terry thought that Wood had also embarked on this path, and he felt a little emotional.
In fact, people like Terry have deeper memories of school and classmates than ordinary people. They have such profound memories that they have not seen each other for several years, but they recognized Wood at the first sight and called out his name.
"I'm working as a salesperson now. How are you?" Wood took out a pack of cigarettes and handed over a cigarette. The two walked outside the barbecue restaurant and started chatting.
Terry was doing pretty well, and he got the position of Captain in the Seven Stars gang. In the gang, Captain was basically a middle- and high-level person. And he is still the kind of person with real power.
Terry is a little dissatisfied with his achievements, "Life is not easy now. I don't make much money, but I still have a lot of troubles..."
He sighed with emotion. He didn't want to talk in depth at first, but he thought of Wood, his former classmate and the school and class that he didn't have much contact with but gave him unforgettable memories. He decided to remind him.
"You know, everyone is having a hard time now. Some people are going crazy. It's best not to go to remote places after dark..." He took a puff of cigarette and said, "No, don't go out after dark!"
This made Wood a little strange, but he still nodded and agreed.
Soon after, a car stopped on the side of the road. Terry threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, said goodbye to Wood, got in the car, and left quickly.
Looking at the disappearing rear window of the car, Wood returned to the barbecue restaurant full of thoughts.
A little later, Wood took the initiative to call his Chief and talked about some topics that he had mentioned when he met Terry.
As an undercover agent, he must report any information he has to his Chief in a timely manner. This is the rule for undercover agents. Unless he has defected or is inconvenient in a short period of time, he must contact his Chief or contact person every few days.
His Chief didn't have much emotion after hearing the news, and also told him the answer.
"The economy is not good, and these gangs are having a hard time. They can't receive money, but they have so many gang members to support."
"Actually, this situation happens every few years or more. Soon these gangs will start fighting on a large scale. Don't worry about them, someone will clean up the mess."
To a certain extent, Fox and his son would like to thank Federal Bureau of Investigation and Federal Revenue Service. The two major bureaus helped them win over many of their peers, leaving them without too many competitors. Otherwise, they would have almost entered a fierce competition.
However, there were few peers this year, so Lin Qi came up with a set of "Lin Qi Method" to teach Sabine City the remaining Finance Company step by step how to legalize their illegal business. This also led to the industry being very stable this year.
But the life of other content-operating gangs is not so easy. The bigger the market was in the past, the more dire straits are now. Apart from fighting to get more chassis and businesses that can make wealth, they don't have many good ways.
Moreover, many emerging gangs are also constantly emerging, and there will be a major reshuffle in Sabine City and even the entire underground world of Federal.
The economy not only determines the buildings above ground, but also the buildings underground!
