“I thought you were just trying to get by in the company, but I didn’t think you would dare to shoot.”
In the silence, the middle-aged woman pointed by Lu Xin’s gun did not try to escape. Instead, she slowly pushed others away and walked into the crowd. She faced Lu Xin’s gun without showing any fear on her face and said with a cold gaze, “We also have guns. However, we didn’t prepare it beforehand, so we lost to you. Never mind, we will admit defeat and let you off today...
“If the Security Office catches you later, that has nothing to do with us!
“If the Security Office doesn’t catch you, then we will see you again!”
“...”
The Security Office checked guns in the High Wall City strictly. They could only keep very few guns in the city.
Companies like theirs that needed to travel outside the city usually had their own supplies in a secret location out of the city. Not only guns but perhaps even a small arsenal. However, under the strict confinement of the High Wall City patrol, as long as they entered the city, it would be impossible for them to bring too many weapons and guns in. Otherwise, they would be severely punished.
Of course, under such high pressure, they still had a way to smuggle one or two guns in for self-defense. However, such weapons couldn’t be brought in in advance. Without any preparation, they were being questioned with Lu Xin’s gun. Therefore, they lost this round.
The woman’s thoughts were undoubtedly very lively, and her words didn’t have any loopholes. Based on common sense, if Lu Xin shot her, the Security Office would definitely take charge. Perhaps he would be sent into jail afterward or sent to the countryside outside the city. However, she had stated clearly, if the Security Office did not catch Lu Xin, they would take revenge with their own methods, based on the gang rules.
Princess Xiao Qing and Lv Cheng’s legs turned into jelly, and their faces turned extremely pale.
When they saw Lu Xin take out his gun, they felt despair.
People who grew up in the High Wall City always felt that guns were something very distant.
After hearing what the female manager said, the gangsters let go of Lv Cheng and Princess Xiao Qing and made a way for them.
However, they looked at Lu Xin with cold gazes, as though they were looking at a dead person.
However, Lu Xin didn’t have the intention to turn back. He said, “I won’t leave, we’re not done with our business here.”
The woman was stunned. “You’re still trying to talk about business here?”
“Yes!”
Lu Xin nodded and said, “However, we have to discuss the price. We can’t fix the price based on your demand.”
After a slight pause, he added, “We have to be fair.”
The woman’s expression became very complicated.
Many organizations were also facing food shortages outside the city. Hunger was the norm for people in the wilderness.
And the only way they could satisfy their hunger was by giving up their arms in the wilderness and entering the High Wall City.
However, although the items in Qinggang City were rather rich and they could buy rice, oil, salt, and even meat with money, this was limited to High Wall City. If one wanted to buy food in the city and bring it out to share, there were strict regulations against it.
There were two serious crimes in the High Wall City:
First, importing arms.
Second, exporting food.
...
“I have been used to the struggles in the wilderness. That’s why I’m extremely particular about getting enough food, sleeping well, and having sex without worrying that the woman would throw a grenade at me. In the High Wall City, I avoid creating trouble. Everyone follows the rules. We make compromises so that we can live a safe and peaceful life, right?”
Qin Ran paused for a bit. He continued eating and only looked up at Lu Xin after a while.
“So, brother, why did you come and look for me?”
His eyes gave off a lazy but dangerous aura. Seeming to have read Lu Xin’s mind, he said coldly, “I have seen many people dealing with business armed. However, you have definitely not left the city, so speak the truth.
“Who sent you over, and what’s your intention?”
“...”
Lu Xin examined him and compared it to his information before saying, “You’re Qin Ran?”
The man looked at him and did not answer directly. He smirked. “You’re here to kill me?”
He was holding onto the chopsticks, but his other hand had begun reaching for the bottom of the wooden coffee table.
“No.”
Lu Xin shook his head and said, “I’m here to ask you, did you encounter anything strange?”
Qin Ran’s expression immediately changed when he heard that. He said in a low voice, seemingly frightened, “Is this a scheme?”
When he said that, he suddenly lifted his hand from under the table holding a gun.
