Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 250 First Arrival in Qin City
Back in the front room, Xiao Ran had nothing to pack, so he looked up at the white cat sleeping on the shelf.

"I'm going out for a while. I'll be back tomorrow at the latest. Here's some cat food. You can make do with it. Next time, when Wu Man comes back, ask him to make you something delicious."

The white cat didn't even bother to raise its head, it just wagged its tail in response.

Xiao Ran was already accustomed to this. He closed the rolling door, thought for a while, and headed straight for the airport with the mentality of "I would rather die than let my friend die."

An hour goes by very quickly, I believe the people in the cabin just need to be patient.

For this purpose, Xiao Ran specially bought a first-class seat.

In fact, even though Xiao Ran is so grown up, this is his first time to take a plane.

Fortunately, the process of handling air tickets is now simple. You just need to book and pick up the tickets online.

Xiao Ran bought a first-class ticket, so he could wait in an exclusive waiting hall.

And he could board the plane first, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Of course, the price is also very attractive, and it’s much more than the price of two economy class tickets.

On the plane, naturally some people smelled the scent on Xiao Ran. Although they didn't say anything, they were obviously wrinkling their noses, and some even put on masks.

The flight attendants had no choice but to move a few passengers to empty seats in the back and turn the plane's ventilation system to maximum.

But even so, the sound of people retching could still be heard from time to time on the plane.

Xiao Ran could only apologize silently in his heart.

After an agonizing hour, the plane finally completed the landing at the fastest speed.

Xiao Ran also walked off the plane quickly under the murderous gazes of the crowd...

I don't have any luggage, so it's very convenient to travel casually.

It was Xiao Ran’s first time in Qin City, so he wasn’t in a hurry to go back.

If the other party wants to kill you, it's the same no matter where you go.

I scanned a shared bicycle and rode slowly forward following the navigation on my phone.

Qin City is different from Luo City. As ancient capitals, their cultural heritage is not bad.

But many old buildings in Qin City are better preserved.

The ancient city walls, bell tower, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, etc. are all well-preserved ancient architectural styles.

There is nothing we can do about it. After all, Los Angeles has been destroyed four times.
At the worst time, all traces were basically wiped out, and there were indeed not many ground buildings left.

The only thing that is better about Luo City than Qin City is probably the prices.

Following the address, Xiao Ran rode his bicycle into an old street and alley, surrounded by residential buildings.

Navigation only ends here.

The rest can only be asked by Xiao Ran himself.

Fortunately, the residents nearby were very nice. Xiao Ran asked a few elderly people and followed their instructions, walking inside along the gaps between the residential buildings.

After turning around a lot, I finally found a private house.

The door was closed and the condition of the house showed that no one had lived in it for many years.

"Shouldn't it?"

In theory, anyone who owes a favor to his grandfather is definitely not an ordinary person. Even a family like the Fang family, which has been eliminated by the times, can rely on the connections left by their family to at least live in peace and safety.

But one look at the house shows that the family doesn't have much spare money.

The door was covered with rust and the windows were broken, leaving only a few bars.

Xiao Ran glanced inside through the crack in the door. It was pitch dark behind the door, and he could see rags and scraps of paper all over the floor. It was obvious that this was not a place to live.

"Who are you looking for?"

At this time, someone called Xiao Ran from behind. Xiao Ran turned around and saw that it was his next-door neighbor, an old lady with white hair and a crutch in her hand.

Xiao Ran walked forward with a smile: "Hello, grandma, is this room 48, Gu Xianglan's home?"

Hearing the name Gu Xianglan, the old lady looked dazed for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Ran from side to side; "Gu Xianglan is my aunt, who are you?"

"Oh, my last name is Xiao. My grandpa and grandma Gu are old acquaintances. They have been together for many years. My grandpa knew that I passed by Qin City and asked me to come here to take a look."

"Oh."

The old lady nodded, bent down and sat on the doorstep: "Then you came too late, he died several years ago."

"So is there anyone else in their family now?" "Humph."

The old lady curled her lips and said, "No one, the only one left is a beast."

Pointing at the iron gate, he said, "My aunt's family was originally well-off, but her son died early, and her daughter-in-law ran away with someone else, leaving behind a grandson who spent all his money on eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and everything else. Now I don't know where he spends his money all day long."

When Xiao Ran heard this, he immediately knew that something bad was going to happen.

Gambling and drugs are the two things you should never touch. If someone in your family gets involved with these things, the whole family will be in trouble.

If you encounter a more ruthless person, you will just kick him out and move your entire family away without wanting to have anything to do with him.

Otherwise, no matter how wealthy you are, you will lose it all.

There is such a good-for-nothing in this family. It's hopeless to expect the other party to return the favor!

After all, human favors are as thin as paper, let alone the favors from the older generation. In the eyes of many modern people, these favors are not even as valuable as a cigarette.

"Grandma, since you are a relative, can you call him back so that I can meet him? This will also allow me to give an explanation to the old man."

"You can't call him back. If you want to find him, go to the nearby dance halls. His name is Guo Yongfei."

The old lady obviously didn't want to have anything to do with this so-called relative. After she said this with a look of disgust on her face, she stood up and walked into the house, closing the door behind her.

Seeing this, I felt even more helpless.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ran took out his cell phone and called Uncle Li.

After a while, the phone rang.

"What happened to Xiaoran?"

"Uncle Li, I'm in Qin City and I've run into some trouble. I want to ask a middleman to help me. Can you show me the way?"

Although Uncle Li is an old gang member in Los Angeles, as the saying goes, every snake has its own way and every rat has its own way, and these old gang members also have their own exclusive circles.

I know some people in the surrounding cities. Even if I'm not familiar with them, I can still strike up a conversation with them. After all, when you are out on the road, no one dares to say that they have never needed help from others.

"Qinshi, um... yes, yes, yes, wait a minute..."

Uncle Li looked through the address book on the phone, and after a while he said, "There's a guy called Zhu Yang, everyone in the circle calls him Master Zhu, he's a local boss with a wide circle of friends, you can contact him, but do you understand the rules?"

"Bye, pass the pestle, if you don't accept the pestle, pass the shovel."

Xiao Ran was very familiar with this and said it casually.

But Uncle Li on the phone was startled and said quickly, "No, no, no, just hand it over. If he doesn't take it, just leave. There's no need to play on his handicap."

“Hahahaha, got it!”

Xiao Ran smiled and asked Uncle Li to give her the address and phone number.

I immediately took a taxi and went there according to the address.

Long ago, the so-called local tyrants were actually a bunch of ruffians or even some gangsters.

But with the development of today's times, who dares to form cliques?

These people followed the trend of the times and used their network of relationships to transform themselves, either into property management companies or so-called labor service companies.

Many people who have some capital open restaurants and nightclubs.

Just do whatever makes money.

Although these people are rubbish, you have to admit that they have many ways to make money.

For example, the man called Mr. Zhu is a well-known local tyrant.

He manages a lot of dance halls and can make a lot of money every month without doing anything.

When Xiao Ran took a car to the address, the driver looked at Xiao Ran meaningfully and said, "Are you here to play too, little brother?"

"Well, it's my first time here. Is this place fun?"

Xiao Ran pressed the car window to let the wind in.

"It hasn't started yet at this time. The afternoon session usually starts at 2 o'clock. It's best to change some change, cash."

The driver was obviously an old player, and gave Xiao Ran a detailed explanation. When they arrived at the destination, Xiao Ran handed him a hundred-dollar bill and said, "No need to change."

The driver was delighted when he saw that he didn't need to pay for change. He pointed the way to Xiao Ran and said, "It's in front, on the second floor. Remember to change some coins."

Xiao Ran looked up and saw a dance hall behind the square in front of him, with a sign that read "Fire Dragon Horse"...
