There was a click of unlocking from behind the door, and then the security door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man with a tall belly and a beard emerged from behind the door.
He glanced at Hecate, then smiled warmly.
"Oh, Hecate, my friend! Come in quickly!"
The bearded man showed standard Russian enthusiasm, his voice was loud, and his thick tongue-splitting accent made Lin Su's ears ring.
The man stepped aside enthusiastically, invited Hecate into the room, and then took a deep look at Lin Su, looking up and down, with an obvious look in his eyes, as if he was judging whether he was armed.
Although the bearded man did not stop Lin Su from entering the house, judging from his face, he seemed to dislike Lin Su, a stranger, and his expression was always tense when he looked at him.
¡°Don¡¯t be so nervous, he is my friend and he is here to take care of your business.¡±
After the bearded man closed the door, Hecate explained aloud.
As soon as he heard the word 'business', the bearded man's expression softened like a face change in a Sichuan opera, but he still kept asking questions: "My friend, this is the first time I've seen you bring an unfamiliar Asian. Come to me. Is he really your friend?"
"of course."
Hecate¡¯s expression did not change.
The bearded man groaned and shook his head: "I smell something wrong. You have brought a trouble, my friend."
He picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. The news was playing a video of Lin Su holding a Lion Regiment soldier hostage at the airport, shot by a passerby on his cell phone.
The bearded man looked at Lin Su suspiciously, "If my eyes haven't fadedthis is you. Although I don't know what you did to your face to change so much, from your body shape and clothes, etc. Some suspicious details can still be seen here and there.
It¡¯s useless even if you change your appearance, you can¡¯t hide it from me, you are the same person. "
Lin Su showed no expression on her face, but her heart suddenly tightened.
He thought that after Hecate¡¯s transformation, his disguise would no longer be seen through.
Who would have thought that the person who issued the fake certificate would actually see through it? This was not what they expected!
Lin Su opened her mouth to explain, but quickly closed it again.
He promised Hecate not to speak inside and leave everything to her.
Before the situation gets completely worse, it¡¯s better to trust Hecate¡¯s judgment.
Seeing that Lin Su didn¡¯t speak, the bearded man¡¯s expression turned ugly and he looked at Hecate with some annoyance.
"My friend, is this how you treat me? Send a guy who has provoked hyenas like the Lions to my stronghold. Don't you know how much risk I have to take?!"
In this day and age, even the underground world cannot completely decouple from organizations like the Lions.
In a sense, it¡¯s not that the Lions can¡¯t deal with them, but they just turn a blind eye and let them go.
The reason why people in the underground world can only live 'underground' instead of 'above ground' is precisely because they are shady people, like mice that everyone hates when walking on the street. They are depressed and can only live in the underground world. The underground world can barely survive.
As long as they don¡¯t do anything too extreme, the Lions and other people who manage the ¡®above world¡¯ can allow rats like them to make a living by eating garbage in the gutter.
But if people like them cross the line, they will be destroyed.
The Lions are like a Damocles sword standing over the heads of all the people in the underground world, and they may fall down at any time and kill them.
¡°Bringing trouble like Hecate is also extremely unpopular in the underground world.
If he chooses to help her, the bearded man will also bear the risk of being approached by the Lions.
"Friends should help each other, right?"
Hecate said expressionlessly.
"Or are you discriminating against people of color? The Russians can do business, the Americans can do business, the English can do business, but the Chinese can't?"
Lin Su glanced at Hecate strangely.
These words were quite oppressive. He thought that Hecate and this bearded man were really friends, but he didn¡¯t expect that she would be so aggressive.
And the previous sentence seems to have been heard somewhere
Being accused by Hecate, the bearded man's originally dark complexion turned even darker.
"I am a businessman, and in business, I will naturally not reject customers. But if the customers bring me extra?Risk, that's another matter. "
"When I brought him to your stronghold and you didn't refuse us, you had already boarded this pirate ship. Don't you think it's a little late to say this now? What if the bastards of the Lions really find him? You, you can't escape suspicion even if you tell the truth."
Hecate¡¯s voice was like a reminder, giving the bearded man a headache.
But the next moment, her voice suddenly turned gentle.
"You should have known these things for a long time. After all, you didn't realize that this man was in trouble until we entered the house. But you still did it. This is why you knew"
The bearded man's face turned solemn, "Well, since you said so, I won't pretend to be anything. If you want me to take this business, you have to give me a number that impresses me. Otherwise, even if you kill me If you tell me, the information that Hecate and the man who kidnapped the Lions members are together will quickly reach the Lions office from here."
This is a complete threat. If you don¡¯t pay, I will report you.
After the bearded man said these words, the atmosphere between the three people suddenly became extremely tense.
A bald, muscular man holding a watermelon knife walked out of the inner room that no one had cared about. He stared at Hecate and Lin Su with threatening eyes.
Where there is one accomplice, there will be a second and a third.
It seems that the threat of the bearded man is not without purpose, he is indeed sure of it, and he is sure of it with Ding Linsu and Hecate.
Lin Su looked at Hecate and found that she was biting her lip secretly, her eyes filled with anger. It seemed that this situation was not within the scope of her expectation, just like when the bearded man revealed Lin Su's identity.
People who live in the underground world are indeed not easy to get along with.
"Ten times, give me ten times the reward, and I will pretend that this didn't happen. I will also give you a complete set of fake identities, so there will be no flaws."
The bearded man raised his hand and smiled like a complete profiteer, "As long as the deal is completed, we will keep this secret forever, how about it?"
""
If you want to survive in the underground world, you must know how to keep your promises at all times. Trust is the hard currency of the underground world.
If you have a beard, you should be serious.
¡°However, this does not mean that his threats are palatable.
Hecate was silent, her face as cold as ice. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
