Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Business as usual

"I thought you were just a lazy guy in the company, but I didn't expect you to dare to shoot!"

In silence, the middle-aged woman pointed at by Lu Xin did not try to escape, but slowly pushed others away and walked into the crowd. Facing Lu Xin's gun, there was no fear on her face, but she said coldly: "We also have guns, but we didn't prepare in advance. It doesn't matter if you point at us. We admit defeat and let you go today..."

"If the Security Department arrests you later, it has nothing to do with us!"

"If the Security Department doesn't arrest you, then we'll meet in the arena!"

"..."

The Security Department strictly checks the guns in the high-walled city, so even they have very few guns left in the city.

Companies like them that need to frequently travel outside the city often set up their own material supply stations in a secret location outside the city. Not to mention guns, they may even have small arsenals. However, under the strict supervision of the patrol army of the high-walled city, once entering the city, it is impossible to bring too many weapons and guns in, otherwise they will be severely punished as felonies.

Of course, under such high pressure, they still have a way to sneak in one or two guns for self-defense, but they can't bring such weapons with them in advance, and when they are unprepared and Lu Xin points a gun at them, they lose the initiative.

This woman's mind is undoubtedly very active, and her words are flawless. According to common sense, Lu Xin fired a gun here, and the Security Department has no reason to ignore it. Maybe he will be arrested and sent outside the wall to open up wasteland, but she also made it clear that if the Security Department does not arrest Lu Xin, then they will naturally retaliate with their own means, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes.

Princess Xiaoqing and Lu Cheng on the side were so scared that their legs went limp and their faces turned pale.

When they saw Lu Xin take out the gun, their worldviews collapsed.

People who grew up in a high-walled city always felt that guns were something far away from them.

After hearing what the female manager said, the gangsters let go of Lu Cheng and Princess Xiaoqing and made way.

They looked at Lu Xin with cold eyes, as if they were looking at a dead person.

But Lu Xin didn't mean to turn around and said, "I won't leave. We haven't finished our business yet!"

The woman who was pointed at by the gun was stunned for a moment and said, "At this time, you still want to talk business with me?"

"Yes!"

Lu Xin nodded and said, "But the price needs to be negotiated. It can't be what you say it is!"

After a slight pause, he added, "It has to be fair!"

The woman's expression suddenly became very complicated.

The expressions of the people around her also became very complicated.

"I have pointed a gun at others to do business many times. I have also hung people over a pond full of lunatics to talk business with them, but it is the first time that someone pointed my woman to talk business with me..."

Just at this time, a man staggered out of another office in the back. He was tall, with stubble on his face, a cigarette in his mouth, and a dirty but very sturdy camouflage uniform on his body. He wore a red beret on his head. It didn't look like the style of the Qinggang City Patrol Army. I don't know where it was taken from.

When they saw him, everyone around them subconsciously lowered their heads.

Even the woman who was pointed at by the gun shouted to him: "Boss, this person..."

The man waved his hand and said to Lu Xin: "Put down the gun, you took the lead, I won't bother you today!"

"Oh!"

Lu Xin put down the gun after hearing this and stuffed it into his backpack.

Princess Xiaoqing and Lu Cheng's eyes widened, full of confusion.

"Do the business as usual, you go and talk!"

The man nodded to the woman who was pointed at by the gun before, and then said to Lu Xin: "Little brother, come with me!"

The development of the matter was very unexpected, and everyone in the room was a little confused.

Lu Cheng and Princess Xiaoqing were soon pushed into the office again, and Lu Xin also followed the man into the bungalow he came out of. The house was decorated well, with wooden floors, chandeliers hanging above, a large sofa on the left, and a glass coffee table in front of the sofa, on which there was a plate of dumplings, a few steamed buns, and a plate of red pickled peppers.

The man sat down and ate by himself. He looked very strange when eating, chewing very slowly, as if he was enjoying the process, with a strange feeling of greed. It was obviously not something particularly good, but he just ate it very seriously.

Lu Xin didn't rush to answer him, but subconsciously glanced at his table full of food.

"I've been in the wilderness for a long time. Once I come to the city, I feel like I can never eat enough!"

Qin Ran took a bite of the steamed bun, put it in his mouth with a dumpling, and looked at Lu Xin: "Would you like some too?"

Lu Xin hurriedly shook his head: "I'm not hungry!"

Lu Xin understood Qin Ran's special hobby.

There are two completely different lives inside and outside the high-walled city. The high-walled city, especially Qinggang City, is one of the first places to solve the food shortage problem. It is said that it is related to the reconstruction of some agricultural technology and mysterious wild species. In the high-walled city, there is a certain livestock industry, as well as extensive farms and even some mechanized operations, but outside the city, these are good things that you dare not even think about.

There are many organizations outside the city that are in a state of food shortage. Hunger is even a normal thing for people in the wilderness.

The only way for them to get enough food and clothing is to give up their weapons in the wilderness and live in the high-walled city.

However, although Qinggang City is rich in supplies and can buy food, oil, salt and even meat with money, this is only limited to the high-walled city. It is a very strict thing to buy food in the city and then take it outside to enjoy.

The two most well-known felonies in the high-walled city:

The first is to transport armed guns in;

The second is to transport food out.

"After living a hard life in the wilderness, you care about having enough food, sleeping well, and not worrying about her pulling out a grenade from her crotch to kill you. In this high-walled city, even I can avoid trouble. I will avoid trouble. Everyone follows the rules. You give me a step, I give you a step, and everyone can still live a good life, right?"

Qin Ran just gave way a little, and then ate by himself. Only then did he raise his eyes and glanced at Lu Xin:

"So, tell me, little brother, what do you want to see me for?"

His eyes were lazy but dangerous, as if he had seen through Lu Xin. He said coldly: "I have seen many people who can do business with guns outside the wall, but you look like you have never been outside the wall, so tell the truth!"

"Who sent you here, and what is your purpose?"

"…"

Lu Xin first looked at him carefully, compared his name with the information, and then said, "Are you Qin Ran?"

The man looked at Lu Xin, but instead of answering directly, he smiled and said, "Are you here to kill me?"

His hand seemed to still be holding chopsticks, but his other hand had dropped down and reached the bottom of the wooden coffee table.

"No!"

Lu Xin shook his head and said, "I came here to ask you if you encountered any strange things?"

Qin Ran's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he seemed to be a little scared. He whispered, "Are you plotting against me?"

As he spoke, his hand hanging under the table suddenly raised up, holding a gun.
