Bu Xiang Dong almost burst out laughing.
Liu Hai Zhong had given him enough information.
Of course, Liu Hai Zhong had no guilt in telling on Yi Hai Zhong.
He decided to tease Comrade Zhong for a moment.
“I’m Qin Shi Huang. I didn’t actually die. I’ve been sleeping all this time. Now I’ve come back to life. You just need to help me restore my kingdom and I’ll reward you with great merit.”
“Hey, what's going on? You think I, Liu...Yi Hai Zhong, am a child?”
“Don’t believe me? Give me ten yuan first. Yi Shifu, the position of prime minister is yours.”
“You're crazy!”
“Ahem, I was just testing you. We’re actually from the Lihua Association.”
“We? I'm also in the Lihua Association.”
“Huh? You don’t remember?”
“No, I remember.”
“I'll reiterate the mission. When the White Party left the mainland, they were in a hurry to escape and hid a lot of gold and silver jewelry in the mainland. They also drew a treasure map.”
“Our mission is to find this treasure. We've narrowed it down to four locations: Shancheng, Jinling, Fu Zhou, and Beiping. We’ve ruled out three, and now we’re pretty sure it’s in Beiping.”
The treasure story was, of course, a lie.
Bu Xiang Dong was just making things up.
But Liu Hai Zhong’s eyes widened immediately.
Damn it.
Yi Hai Zhong, you’ve been secretly doing big things!
Liu Hai Zhong chuckled nervously and asked in a low voice, “How many people know about this?”
Bu Xiang Dong: “…”
Damn it.
Zhong really wants to make progress.
He can't really believe this, can he?
I'll have to keep weaving this lie.
....................
Bu Xiang Dong looked around mysteriously. “Yi Shifu, you have to keep undercover.”
“Don’t I have any other tasks besides being undercover?”
Liu Hai Zhong actually wanted to know what Lao Yi was up to.
“Shh, the organization has tasks for you, but not yet.”
“There are actually a lot of people in our Lihua Association. I’m collecting funds for the association’s activities!”
Bu Xiang Dong finished speaking and pulled up his sleeve.
He revealed a Shanghai brand watch.
Liu Hai Zhong's eyes immediately lit up.
“Ah, so that’s how it is. I’ll contribute to the association too. I need to buy a watch anyway.”
Liu Hai Zhong really did want to buy a watch, but he didn’t have a watch ticket.
Liu Guang Qi was about to graduate and go to work at a unit.
Liu Hai Zhong wanted to buy a watch to save face.
“Association dues are twenty yuan plus the watch, a total of one hundred and fifty-five yuan.”
“Twenty yuan for dues...okay!”
Zhong felt a bit of pain in his wallet, but he was willing to spend money on his eldest son!
If Liu Guang Tian knew, he would cry in the toilet.
Bu Xiang Dong didn't care what his intentions were.
He had the money. Who cares about the flood?
“Wait, there's no organization… password…?”
“You say I stand at the edge of the world, and I return to grasp the rotating sun and moon.”
Liu Hai Zhong looked at Bu Xiang Dong’s retreating figure and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Tsk tsk, the association’s motto is really quite domineering.”
However, he was conflicted.
Should he join the Lihua Association to find the treasure?
Or should he report Yi Hai Zhong and become the first director?
To the left or to the right, that was the question.
......................
Liu Hai Zhong strolled through the black market with his hands behind his back, seemingly in a good mood.
“Find someone to test it out. Just in case…hehe!”
He didn’t believe that the other person was actually Qin Shi Huang, but he did believe that they were called the Lihua Association.
When Bu Xiang Dong returned to Dongzhimen, he waited for a while and actually saw Liu Hai Zhong again.
But this time, neither of them was disguised.
They could see each other’s faces.
“Bu Xiang Dong! What are you doing here?”
“Second Director! What are you doing?”
“Ahem, I’m standing at the edge of the world.”
“Oh, I understand…I get it. I won’t tell anyone.”
“Understand what? Go home early. Otherwise, Lao Yan will come to tie you up.”
Liu Hai Zhong looked at him with disdain.
Bu Xiang Dong isn’t from the Lihua Association. It seems I’m the more stable one.
After a while.
Fatty and Hu Ba Yi rode their bicycles from the black market to Dongzhimen.
“We made one hundred and five yuan in total.”
“Fifteen yuan for each of you.”
Bu Xiang Dong didn’t hesitate to give them fifteen yuan each.
“Hehe, let’s go eat beef at Donglaishun tomorrow.”
“Fatty, didn’t you want to save up to buy a car?”
With the money they had earned before, they could have a good meal.
That was Fatty’s nature. He was scared of being hungry after being poor for so long.
His parents could send him a little money, but definitely not much. He was still dependent on others.
“The car can wait. I’m famished. By the way, we met a weirdo earlier.”
Bu Xiang Dong raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”
“He whispered to me: I stand at the edge of the world. He said the same thing to Lao Hu.”
Bu Xiang Dong was speechless.
Liu Hai Zhong, what the hell are you trying to do?
