Chapter 500 Boss Mikael Is the Best to Us!

“Squeak-squeak-”

The wind had stopped, but the sound of the seesaw continued to echo, and could be heard clearly at the door of the apartment dozens of meters away.

Genfu pulled his glasses down a little with his fingers, then tucked his chin in and quickly scanned the ant-sized words on the newspaper with a rolling eye gesture. After all, he had presbyopia, not myopia.

After a while, the hands holding the newspaper loosened, and the newspaper, which was not heavy and certainly had nothing to do with thinness, fell on the greasy Eight Immortals table. Genfu used his skinny and dark hands to smooth out the ups and downs on the newspaper... He didn't know the meaning of doing this, and it was hard to judge whether he was doing this consciously, but if someone walked by, they wouldn't think there was anything unusual. After all, this morning should be like this for an old man, wearing reading glasses, holding the latest newspaper and lazily spending the morning, then having brunch, and running to find a few friends to play mahjong for an afternoon amid the nagging of his wife...

Ah, my memory is really bad...Genfu slapped his head hard, and the few remaining half-white hairs on his head fluttered casually, and finally fell on his bald head.

Is it just overthinking? Where is his wife? Where are the friends who played mahjong with him for decades?

But there are still too many hours in a day, enough for him to read the newspapers over and over again without missing a word two or three times...

And as time goes by, more and more newspapers are shut down. He is actually just over 60 this year. Although he does not live in the city, he lives in a relatively orderly area in the "buffer zone". He owns a whole apartment building with an occupancy rate of over 70%. He has no worries about food and clothing, and he is still healthy. He can always live until the day when all newspapers are shut down...

It's really boring. The residents here are also nervous. They treat him, the landlord, like a gangster. Although... Well, if it weren't for the son who never came to see him during the holidays, how could he keep this building and maintain such a leisurely life...

But in the end, life is still not very satisfactory.

This kind of place is not suitable for the elderly and the weak to survive. It is impossible not to be lonely. The only contact between the residents and him was to pay money or materials every once in a while. If he suddenly said that he wanted to organize a party with everyone, I'm afraid no one would dare to come...Except for the girl named Paduo who moved here some time ago...

That girl always quarreled with him for a little bit of advantage, and it was always hard for Genfu not to think of himself. Just now, there was a stupid expert in the newspaper who wrote an article saying that a person often hates himself the most, so he would also hate people who are very similar to himself...Haha, anyway, Genfu didn't hate it. He enjoyed the time of bargaining and quarreling with girls. But in a long day, it only took up a moment.

After all, it was like a year.

There was no way to move to the city. To put it bluntly, this apartment building nailed him to this place. Even if he wanted to sell it, no one would take it over. And with the rent he had saved over the years, if he wanted to go to the city where he was unfamiliar with the place...he might as well go to bed.

If he wants to leave, he still has to find a way to get a lot of money... But even so, that stupid son will not be willing to abandon the "foundation" he has built and start over in the city.

Unless... the money is enough, just like the bounty that Genfu just saw in the center of the newspaper... He has done similar things before. Those who committed crimes in the city and were rewarded will naturally not sit and wait for death, but will flee to the buffer zone where official control is weak and the suburbs where there is almost no official power. In between... those who are not ruthless enough will naturally choose to stay in the buffer zone where the order is better. It is not that no one has accidentally lived here, and then he was secretly reported and sent in after matching them in the newspaper.

Those fugitives are very unfamiliar with the buffer zone, and the newcomers have no idea what happened here. There are also those who actively pay him protection fees.

Generally speaking, if the protection fee is much greater than the bounty, he will let them go and pretend not to know anything. If it is less... He will hold a party, hand in the protection fee as stolen money, and then collect a bounty, which is very profitable. Sometimes, he even met a police officer who was good at dealing with things, and he would directly share the protection fee with him, which would reduce his losses.

But this time... He only dared to think about it. The total bounty of more than 100 million yuan sounded wonderful. Even without the S-level wanted level, the danger of the fugitive could be imagined. Although he knew some boxing skills, at this age, it would be very difficult for him to deal with a strong man, let alone a Valkyrie...

"Forget it, let's think about what to eat for lunch first... Is it too early now? Alas, when people get old, even their appetite is not as good as before, and there is nothing they want to eat."

Genfu simply leaned back, but unfortunately the original recliner was broken by Pado, so he, the landlord, could only use the most ordinary stool.

"Ah... damn girl, it was so kind to only charge her 300 yuan for repairs last time!"

He probably forgot that he had clearly offered 30,000 yuan, because the wood and rattan material of the recliner were extremely rare, and then Pado reduced the price to 300 yuan. But I still made a profit. I only spent thirty when I bought it.

"Uh... that... uncle?"

Genfu's body straightened up quickly, and he turned his head to look at the stairs. The girl that Paduo brought yesterday was standing there.

It was broad daylight, and although it was winter, it didn't snow much in Tianqiong City. It was cold, but she didn't wear a black robe and a hood on her head in the building, right?

If it was Genfu a few days ago, he would definitely think so.

However, Paduo was also like this, always wearing a black coat and a hood on her head... Genfu was old and had some experience in judging people. When he saw this outfit, he thought it was probably a wanted person. He wanted to make some extra money (although little Paduo was very much to his taste, how could he not make money), so he searched the gaps in the newspapers and opened his mobile phone to check the official website for wanted orders, but he didn't see any similar girls... It seems that it is purely a personal preference, or is she just shy about showing off her figure? Genfu thinks that Paduo's companion should be the same type as her.

Birds of a feather flock together...

However, the girl in front of me seemed to be more shy than Padu, with her head down all the time, the sunlight slanting in, and her hands twisted in front of her body constantly changing, the hood cast a shadow on the girl's face, and only her lips slightly opened and closed could be seen.

"Um... hello? Xiaolongbao? Dandan noodles... Forget it... Uncle, have you seen Padu?"

The girl seemed to want to communicate in Chinese at first, but after squeezing for a long time, she could only squeeze out a few ridiculous phrases. In the end, she had no choice but to ask in English with some trepidation.

Genfu scratched the gray stubble on his cheeks, stammered and typed out a set of English combos:

"Hello? Haoa U? Fine, Shuan Q, Anju U? Am Fine Rabbit?"

Genfu could see the girl's lips opening and closing, but she didn't utter even a syllable...

He was not a teenager anymore, so of course he didn't think that he shocked the girl because of his good English. Obviously, the girl was shocked by his fake English...

Genfu didn't have any extra expression on his face. It was not easy to stay calm in the face of changes, but with the catalysis of time, it was not difficult.

But he suddenly thought of another foreign language he had learned when he was young for some unspeakable reason, so he tried to speak again:

"Ah no...Neon country is so damn good?"

"Huh?"

The key was guessed correctly, and the two finally had a simple communication:

"Uncle, do you know where Pado went?"

"Oh? She, that...oh, she goes out at this time every day, and told me that she went to buy breakfast before. She will be back soon, she has been gone for quite a while."

Kiana tilted her head and understood the grammar of this uncle reluctantly.

In fact, she could, or rather, as a person on the wanted list, she should have her own consciousness and try to avoid getting along with people other than Pado. It was already very dangerous to communicate with this old man alone. After asking questions, she should quickly withdraw and hide in the room...

But she was really a little scared, afraid that Pado would leave her and leave, or that Pado's delay in returning was because something happened to her...

She wanted to see the result as soon as possible, whether it was a good or bad result.

There was nothing much to say to the old man. Silence made time go faster. It seemed that less than half a minute had passed. A figure with big shopping bags in both hands, wearing a black coat and a fat cat on his head suddenly appeared in the alley opposite the building.

She also saw Kiana, but just smiled silly. She couldn't say hello because both her hands were full.

She didn't rush over from the alley directly, but pressed her body against the wall, stuck her head out, and looked around the street.

After making sure there was no one, she arched her body like a cat and rushed into the building in an instant - this was probably because she bought too many things and was afraid of being spotted and causing trouble. No, she should have caused trouble, otherwise it wouldn't take so long. She should have been constantly taking detours before.

"Hey! Qi... ahem! Sister Destobia, why are you running downstairs? Didn't I tell you that you haven't recovered from your illness yet, you should just stay in bed! Look, I bought some extra ingredients, so that you can eat for two or three days, so you don't have to go out to buy them every day!"

Pado brought the bag in front of Kiana, and it looked like she was asking for credit and reward.

Kiana didn't know who Sister Destobia was, but she didn't say much. Maybe it was just a name made up by Pado to cover up her identity.

Genfu, who was standing by, naturally didn't understand what the two girls were saying. He just interrupted them in Chinese:

"Ah, Paduo, be careful not to break the refrigerator!"

"Ahhhh! Shut up, old man! I'm warning you! We've already checked the model of that refrigerator. When it was first released, the price was only four hundred. Don't think about cheating me again!"

"Huh? People still look at the price these days? What evidence do you have to prove that it hasn't been sold for forty thousand in the secondary market?"

"Old man, are you sick? People speculate on shoes, watches, mobile phones, and graphics cards. How can anyone speculate on refrigerators?"

"Can you guarantee that there isn't one?"

"I dare not..."

…………

After another quarrel, both Pado and Genfu were used to it. Even Kiana, who couldn't understand their communication, didn't think their behavior was strange.

Back in the rental house, Pado closed the door neatly, threw the bag in front of the refrigerator, and explained to Kiana while packing:

"Sister Desdobia is also our former comrade-in-arms. I couldn't think of a good alias just now, so I borrowed her name first."

Kiana didn't know how to reply, so she just leaned over and helped Pado put the things in the bag into the refrigerator one by one.

"Hey! Someone was targeting me when I was in the convenience store just now. Maybe they thought that girls like me are easy to bully and I bought so many things. But you know, sister Kiana, no one dares to rob or cause trouble in a convenience store that can be opened in such a place, so I ran away as fast as I could when I went out, and circled around this area several times before I got rid of that group of people."

"Uh...you..."

Kiana looked at Padu's cat ears and the tail that kept wagging behind her with some curiosity. She wanted to say something, but she thought it would be bad to say it too bluntly.

But in the end... curiosity prevailed over everything:

"Padu, aren't you a comrade-in-arms of the Red Kite Immortal and Mikael? Why..."

"Ah?"

Kiana's heart tightened - it's over! The news that Padofilis was the squad leader's comrade was said by the squad leader, not by her... She had never told me this before... Should I expose the squad leader's existence at this time? The squad leader said that Padofilis and Mikael were like siblings...

"Ahhhhh!"

Padofilis suddenly covered her head and screamed, scaring Kiana so much that she took a step back and made a subtle defensive gesture.

But the next moment, her hands were grabbed by the excited Padofilis.

"Sister Kiana, you are so abominable!! It must be that Boss Mikael told you my name, right! Hehehe! Boss Mikael is the best to me. You don't even need to think about it. She must have mentioned me in front of you often, right? Sister Kiana must have recognized me when I introduced myself! I have been hiding quietly until now... Humph! Oh! Tell me quickly, how is Boss Mikael doing now?"

Kiana was a little confused, and couldn't help but lower her voice to test:

"Pado, haven't you seen Mikael now? Didn't your former comrades tell you about Mikael's current situation?"

Well, it's a test. With Kiana's emotional intelligence, she almost put the problem directly. Unfortunately, the always shrewd Pado was immersed in the excitement and didn't notice the problem in Kiana's words.

"I don't know either. Sister Mei asked me to find you and then wait for her to pick me up... Come to think of it, Sister Mei has no one else to use. I'm not good at fighting at all. If we really have to fight, I'll have to rely on you, Sister Kiana."

"Oh, oh... Really..."

It seems that she knows nothing about Mikael's affairs - Kiana judged so.

"So Sister Kiana, what happened to Brother Mikael? Something happened at the beginning, and we... Alas, every time something happened, Brother Mikael liked to keep it to himself and would not tell anyone. Sister Snake and Sister Ellie couldn't do anything about him, not to mention Sister Ellie... Actually, he could have come to me! If he came to me, I'd take him to the club in the city to spend a night!"

"... Uh... Paduo, do you know what the club is for?"

"I really haven't had the chance to go there, but when I was on Dusk Street before, I often hear those bosses mention this, as if if there is any trouble, just stay there for one night, and you can be fully revived the next morning. It is even better than those resurrection drugs we have collected... Oh, by the way, sister Kiana, do you want the resurrection drug? If you are seriously injured, take a small sip, your waist will not be sore, your legs will not hurt, and even your heart will not beat... Ahem, remove the last sentence, anyway, the medicine will cure the disease!"

"You are curing your life with the medicine...",

Kiana was sure that the cat-eared girl in front of her... was even stupider than her!

"So sister Kiana~~~ what is the current situation of Boss Mikael... Tell me, it's not that we can't buy information with money!"

Kiana was unsure and didn't know how to answer this question.

Should I tell her the truth directly? What will she choose after knowing the truth?

The unknown is too high. She kept calling the squad leader in her mind, but she didn't get a response. Kiana really didn't dare to gamble.

"Uh... ahem, this is a long story, how about we make lunch first?"

"Oh! That's right! We were talking about buying breakfast, but it's almost noon now... Come on, sister Kiana, come and see what dishes suit your taste. Most of what we buy are semi-finished products."

Kiana pursed her lips and randomly pulled out a box of pre-made dishes from the shopping bag.

"Stir-fried pork with ginger?" (End of this chapter)
