Chapter 005: Trouble, trouble is everywhere

At the Aegean Sea Restaurant located at the school gate, Fu Zhengyi ordered a bowl of vegetable noodles, and only after finishing it did he feel a bit more comfortable in his stomach

Originally, my father was supposed to transfer 150,000 to the account of a scam company this morning. Now, the money on his card has vanished without a trace. It is certain that he is anxious and upset, but I do not know if the money my parents have with them is enough, and whether their living situation in Yun Province will encounter any problems

Ming understood that it was better for Fu Zhengyi to appear less in public, so he got up and went to the counter, picked up the phone, and dialed.

With a swift kick, Fu Zhengyi brought down the stout little fellow, targeting the areas on his body that were thick-skinned and fleshy with ruthless strikes. Although it appeared that each stomp was extremely fierce, it would only cause the opponent immense pain without inflicting serious injury

Thinking of the white wutong pavilion cigarette, Fu Zhengyi felt a bit restless due to his craving for tobacco. Although he was sitting next to the air conditioner, sweat quickly soaked his floral shirt.

At the end of July in Hanzhou City, the nighttime temperature allows him to find a place to spend the night without any concern

"Borrow some money from Huabei, otherwise I will throw this car into the river. If you have the ability, go fish it out"

Leaning dejectedly on the table, gazing at the sun-baked asphalt road outside, Fu Zhengyi felt quite troubled

The narrow alley, barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side, has left Fu Zhengyi, who has already ridden his bike in, with no possibility of turning around.

Hu Yatong, who lives in Donghuayuan, would definitely still be on the way unless she received a call and rushed over immediately

Although the demands made by Fu Zhengyi were somewhat strange and excessive, Hu Yatong readily agreed over the phone, providing him with an address and instructing him to wait for her there in one hour

Although it is said that the stocks I just bought will see a significant increase and profit when the market opens next Monday, compared to my expected returns, it is merely a drop in the bucket. How to safely avoid being found by Fu Zhengming until the end of next week is a matter he must consider now

Glancing at the other two, one is tall and the other is plump; the tall one has fair skin, while the plump one appears darker. Standing together, they look amusing in every way.

As Jian Fu Zhengyi spoke and laughed, the half-grown boy with his nose taped up was enraged and stepped forward, raising his hand as if to slap Fu Zhengyi.

Don't joke around, it is now 1994

They were all around fifteen or sixteen years old, and after emerging from the alley, they blocked his escape route. Each of them had a half-burnt cigarette in their mouths, dressed in flashy floral shirts and baggy shorts, wearing oversized flip-flops, clearly a group of delinquent youths.

Time

If the notice regarding the internal upgrade of the bank's system that he saw at the Hanzhou Commercial Bank on Wednesday remains unchanged, then the funds he transfers to Taihua Securities should not be known to his cousin, Fu Zhengming, before Monday

Go to the internet café

By the same reasoning, the family-style video game rooms in Hangzhou City in 1994 were also places that one should not go to, as being caught there was guaranteed.

Upon thinking of the all-night video hall, Fu Zhengyi's eyes lit up, but he soon deflated.

It is not that it is impossible, but he only has a little over 10 yuan left in his pocket, which is definitely not enough for two nights

Dealing with tall individuals is simple; if they dare to jump during a fight, it is purely a matter of being taken down. When Fu Zhengyi allowed the black, chubby boy to kick him in the groin, he charged forward and grabbed the tall person's ankle, pulling it back forcefully. The tall person, having lost balance while airborne, landed with a split, exclaiming in pain.

But in the darkness, that cigarette butt was carelessly discarded by someone. A half-grown boy squatting on the ground suddenly stood up and rushed over, cursing as he came. "It's that bastard from that day! I've got you now..."

Wearing his father's sunglasses, Fu Zhengyi headed straight to the small alley behind the food street after leaving the restaurant. In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at the location and began waiting in a corner at the end of the alley

The chubby boy with dark skin spread his arms wide, seemingly wanting to come up and hug him, but the sharp-eyed Fu Zhengyi noticed that the boy had already kicked towards his groin, clearly belonging to the type that strikes ruthlessly.

Moreover, before Monday, I still need to eat and drink, and with the remaining ten or so yuan on me, it seems a bit insufficient to last until Monday...

Furthermore, since I have already been discovered, it is necessary to carefully consider the methods that my cousin Fu Zhengming will employ to find me. If he locates me before the stock market opens on Monday, given Fu Zhengming's temperament, he would undoubtedly seize my account in the stock market immediately. When the market opens on Monday, he would indiscriminately liquidate all the stocks in that account.

Looking at himself, wearing a floral shirt paired with knee-length baggy shorts and sandals, Fu Zhengyi finally understood why he had attracted attention. This outfit, in the year 1994 in Hanzhou City, resembled that of the delinquents loitering outside.

Although Fu Zhengyi managed to evade the black, chubby boy's low kick, he nonetheless found himself closer to him. This boy reacted extremely quickly; as he raised his elbow, he thrust it backward, striking Fu Zhengyi's mouth just as he was about to turn. Fu Zhengyi immediately sensed a metallic taste of blood in his mouth

Go to the bar

The half-grown boy, whose nose was taped up after being hit in the stomach, was gasping for breath and shouting that he was protected by Wu Ge from the south of the city. You coward, you dare to touch even Wu Ge's cousin from the south of the city; you will definitely have nowhere to run in the future

What if I don't give it?

Fu Zhengyi rode the car directly into the small courtyard and only informed Hu Yatong of what he needed her to do after entering the house

In 1994, there were no internet cafes or bars in Hangzhou City that operated all night, and at that time, there were also no bathhouses that offered 24-hour service

The number of people passing through the alley is not considerable, yet Fu Zhengyi, standing in the corner and hiding in the shadows, still feels as though he is being watched by someone

It is quite annoying; these three individuals squatting in this dark alley are somewhat frightening. Therefore, Fu Zhengyi opened his mouth, ready to scold them.

However, the joint defense team of 1994 was not to be trifled with. If one were caught by the joint defense team at night and could not provide a valid reason, one would certainly be detained and subjected to a severe beating. Ultimately, it would be necessary to have family members go to the joint defense team to retrieve the person in order to be released from such a place

When he left in the morning, he only considered being cool and comfortable, little did he expect how eye-catching this outfit would be in the city of Hangzhou in 1994

The half-grown boy, with five fingerprints on his face, was stunned. He got up to help Fu Zhengyi with the car but lost interest in buying cigarettes. He took a different route back to the alley and saw Hu Yatong already waiting for him at the entrance of a small courtyard.

Since he had taken action, Fu Zhengyi would not hold back. After lowering his head to evade the slap, he lunged forward, hooking the young man's neck with his left hand, and raised his right leg to strike the opponent's abdomen with his knee

Fu Zhengyi's bicycle was not fast, but when he turned a corner, the alley was pitch dark due to a broken streetlight. Against the wall, three people were squatting on the ground smoking. Upon seeing the three flickering points of light, Fu Zhengming quickly swerved, resulting in him nearly falling off his bike.

There are only a few video halls in the entire city where one can watch videos all night long. If he dares to appear near any of those video halls tonight, it is guaranteed that someone will drag him out in no time.

The one who stood up first, but was the slowest, had a bandage on his nose, making him quite recognizable; he was the one who accidentally hit his own nose with his elbow in the swimming pool the day before yesterday

With a single strike, the effect was immediate. The stout, dark-skinned boy was quite pleased with himself. However, as Fu Zhengyi lifted his right leg once more to block the boy's low kick, his left palm, filled with disdain for the boy's underhanded tactics, decisively struck the bridge of the boy's nose

Of course, if this were in a previous life, Fu Zhengyi would not waste these few dimes, because for a student about to enter the third year of high school, three dimes is equivalent to several sticks of Bai Wuting cigarettes, enough for him to smoke for several days

The joint defense team has not yet emerged; if they were not searching for their own people, then only the elderly men and women from the neighborhood committee would remain

inn

From the moment he opens his eyes these past few days, he has either been racing against time or reminiscing about the significant events in finance, politics, and people's livelihoods during the eighteen years of his previous life. Little did he expect that when he suddenly found himself unable to return home, he would have to confront the predicament of having nowhere to go

Having sat at this table near the air conditioning since around 4 PM until sunset, it had been quite some time. Although the business at the Aegean Sea Restaurant was not particularly good, the waitstaff would occasionally come by, clearly hinting that it was time for him to leave. Thus, at 7:30 PM, knowing he could no longer stay, Fu Zhengyi finally thought of a solution

Sure, the well-known coward actually dared to confront me in the pool. Let's talk about how to settle the score from that day. I dragged the bicycle that Justice had left behind to the alley entrance, not worried about this half-grown kid with a bandaged nose escaping, who was feeling quite pleased with himself.

Unable to see the other person's face, Fu Zhengyi quickly exited the alley after abandoning the car. Only under the streetlight did he clearly see the appearance of the three individuals rushing out from inside.

Through the glass, one can see the familiar snack shop across the street. Although the dishes at the Aegean Sea Restaurant are 0.3 yuan more expensive per bowl than those at the snack shop, the restaurant has air conditioning, so the extra few dimes can be considered worthwhile

Due to Fu Zhengyi not exerting much effort, there was only a sound of a crack, and that chubby boy immediately had a face full of blood, covering his broken nose and howling loudly

The sky had long since darkened, and the dim light in the alley made it seem like a suitable setting for filming a horror movie.

Raising my hand to check the time, I still have twenty minutes before my appointment with Hu Yatong

It seems that the only one who can provide him with help now is Hu Yatong

With more than ten feet coming down fiercely, Fu Zhengyi, whose mouth was split open, displayed such ferocity that the two on the ground were left dumbfounded. The tall one with a split leg was the first to be frightened, repeatedly pleading for Fu Zhengyi to stop and not to kick them to death

The boy, whose mouth suddenly opened wide but could not make a sound due to pain, fell to the ground after being thrown down by Fu Zhengyi, his eyes bulging and unable to move.

However, there are still quite a few issues at present

Go to the bathroom

In a fit of irritation, Fu Zhengyi rode out from the darkness at the end of the alley, as he recalled that there was a small shop at the entrance of the alley. If he wanted to hide for a couple of days, it would not do to be without cigarettes.

Since Uncle Tai Dao appeared on his own back balcony, it is evident that he did not come over just to take a look out of boredom

Then there is only one possibility left, which is that my cousin Fu Zhengming discovered that the 150,000 in the savings book was missing, which is why he ran home with his father to look for me

Then go to the all-night video hall

The two individuals stuck behind also rushed forward as they saw Zhengyi take action. The taller one jumped up and kicked out a leg, clearly imitating a scene from the video of "Huang Feihong".

The chubby boy, who was stomping his feet, curled up and dared not make a sound. Turning around, he walked over and slapped the half-grown boy with his nose covered in tape, causing him to shut his mouth. Squatting down, Fu Zhengyi said to him, "I remember what you look like. If we meet again, it won't be as simple as today!"

However, the combat power of these two is clearly stronger than that of the one with tape on his nose. Not wanting to waste time here, Fu Zhengyi spoke up, "What do you want to do?"
