Chapter 5 Withdrawing Money
In the evening, Xie Wuwei came to Fuxiang Hotel.
He first knocked on Lin Ruotang's door.
"Knock down!"
Lin Ruotang was startled. Who would come so late?
She quickly blew out the oil lamp, cautiously picked up the stool, and carefully approached the door, her movements very quietly without making a sound.
In front of someone who had been lurking for many years, Lin Ruotang's skills were not enough. Xie Wuwei had already heard her footsteps and he immediately said:
"it's me!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Ruotang breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and let Xie Wuwei in.
She lit the oil lamp, somewhat confused as to why Xie Wuwei had come.
Lin Ruotang put down the clothes in his hand, wondering if it was for something else, and spoke tentatively.
"Mr. Zhang's wallet is still with me, and the money in it..."
"Since Mr. Zhang gave it to you, it's yours. You can do with it as you please. I'm here for another matter."
Seeing that she was timid and had an embarrassed look on her face, Xie Wuwei guessed that Lin Ruotang had misunderstood what he meant.
Xie Wuwei was still worried and wanted Lin Ruotang to become his subordinate. After all, even a grown man would be afraid of such a life of hardship, let alone a little girl.
"My name is Xie Wuwei. I'm here to tell you that the traitor who betrayed Mr. Zhang has been identified as one of the three people, but..."
Having said this, he immediately paused, and Lin Ruotang's heart tightened. Xie Wuwei continued:
"But we don't have enough manpower. It's hard to say whether we can avenge Mr. Zhang..."
Lin Ruotang is now a little white rabbit with a simple mind. As soon as these words were spoken, she took the bait.
Lin Ruotang's mind buzzed, and all he could think of was Zhang Zhenhua's determined eyes and the blood and flesh that was blown away.
"How can we avenge Mr. Zhang? We don't have enough manpower. I can help. I was able to pass on the information to you last time, and I can definitely help this time."
Xie Wuwei saw Lin Ruotang's big eyes staring at him, and it seemed that she really wanted to help Zhang Zhenhua get revenge.
"Let me ask for your instructions on this matter."
His expression didn't change at all, but he nodded secretly in his heart. After comforting Lin Ruotang, he turned around and strode away.
In the room, Lin Ruotang had no mood to try on clothes and just sat blankly on the edge of the bed.
The next day, Xie Wuwei came to Lin Ruotang again and told her something.
"You can participate in this operation. After all, you are someone Mr. Zhang trusts."
Lin Ruotang was deeply touched and moved.
"By the way, you move to my house this afternoon, and then you can say you are my cousin from the countryside."
In the afternoon, Lin Ruotang said goodbye to Boss Zhang, packed his luggage and walked to the entrance of the alley.
When she left the hotel, she saw Xie Wuwei wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, holding a whip in his hand, leaning against a taxi in a ruffian-like manner.
Lin Ruotang was shocked by his change. How could this person change so much?
Xie Wuwei raised his eyebrows and smirked.
"Cousin, get in the car!"
Xie Wuwei walked over to Lin Ruotang, took the bag from her hand, and pulled Lin Ruotang into a taxi.
Lin Ruotang looked into the car curiously, and then carefully looked at Xie Wuwei. He had deep facial features, a ruffian air, and evil eyes, and he didn't look like a good person.
"Xie brother, is this really your cousin?"
The driver, Xiao Liu, made a face. Xie Wuwei didn't explain and raised his hand to pretend to hit someone.
"Have you eaten yet? You're asking for more advice. Do you want to be whipped?"
They arrived at a busy alley with all kinds of shops in it.
Lin Ruotang and Xie Wuwei got out of the car. Xie Wuwei leaned over the driver's window and handed the driver two hundred yuan.
Xiao Liu rubbed his hands embarrassedly, his face full of joy.
"Xie Ge, this is too much. A taxi ride costs six yuan..."
Xie Wuwei patted Xiao Liu's shoulder with a serious expression.
"Last time I heard that your mother was sick, why are you being so polite to me!"
"Thank you, brother. I..."
Xiao Liu was so moved that he was speechless and just wiped his eyes with his sleeve. When his mother fell ill, he borrowed all he could. Now everyone is struggling to make ends meet, so how could they have money to lend to him?
There was no need for Xie Wuwei to take a taxi to pick up a woman. Now he was just trying to help him.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Xie Wuwei took Lin Ruotang into the alley. There were many stalls on the roadside selling various vegetables and small fish. There were also shops selling groceries in the alley.
It was lively, but you could tell they weren't wealthy families, as every household wore patched clothes.
At the end of the alley, there is a small courtyard with a private entrance. The back door of the courtyard leads to a main street with many access points, making it an ideal escape location.
Xie Wuwei took Lin Ruotang to her room and told her,
"I'm looking after the casino under the Black Dragon Gang's second-in-command. If you need anything, you can come to the Four Seasons Casino to find me."
He handed some things to Lin Ruotang, and Xie Wuwei looked cautious.
"I have something on my hands that I want you to do..."
Lin Ruotang was very confused and asked:
"Isn't it revenge for Mr. Zhang?"
"Does revenge require activity funds?"
Xie Wuwei said this expressionlessly, with a cold and serious temperament, lacking a bit of ruffian spirit.
"Now, what you need to do is go to the bank tomorrow on behalf of Mr. Zhang to withdraw the activity funds. Don't underestimate the activity funds. We need money wherever we go, and we also need to buy some medicine for the organization."
Lin Ruotang thought about it and realized that she really couldn't live without money no matter where she went. She took the briefcase from Xie Wuwei, opened it and saw the withdrawal information and bills inside.
Xie Wuwei's move was also to test Lin Ruotang. As long as she ran away with the money, Xie Wuwei would definitely take the money back and send Lin Ruotang away.
Lin Ruotang was nervous. He had just arrived and was asked to withdraw money, such a large sum at that. With the current prices, he could buy a house and a car in Shanghai and live a very comfortable life.
"I won't be back at night, so you don't have to leave the door open for me."
Xie Wuwei shook his clothes, walked to the door, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, lit a cigarette, and raised his voice.
"Cousin, if anyone causes trouble for you, just go to the Four Seasons Casino and tell me my name, and I'll bring some people to chop him to death!"
He looked around with a fierce look on his face.
The neighbor who was looking at him nearby immediately turned his head and stopped looking in this direction.
"Who is this person? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"You can't afford to offend the people from the Black Dragon Gang."
"Our Nanhua Lane is going to be lively!"
After Xie Wuwei left, the people in the alley started talking without any courtesy.
"These little hooligans only know how to bully us ordinary people. If they have the guts, go fight the devils!"
"It's so annoying. There's no peace in our alley anymore."
"Oh my! A giant turtle has arrived in our little pond..."
They turned around and saw Lin Ruotang standing at the door with a bad look on his face. The women who were talking immediately lowered their heads and left.
At night, Lin Ruotang tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep at all.
As I thought about it, I figured it out. There must be other reasons why he asked someone he had only met once to withdraw money.
Lin Ruotang, who had sensed something was wrong, immediately sat up, then lay down again as if thinking about something.
This is to test me, what is the purpose of testing me, is it possible that I want to replace Mr. Zhang and become one of them? Then he shook his head.
"How is that possible? I don't know anything and I'm not a professional. How could you ask me to do such an important thing..."
She turned over and muttered,
"Forget it, don't think about it."
This is something she can brag about for the rest of her life. Thinking of this, Lin Ruotang smiled with her eyes curved again. No one would have thought that a useless person like her could become an agent!
She fell asleep with a smug look on her face.
In the morning, she was woken up by the hawking and solicitations of merchants outside.
Lin Ruotang picked up her bag and walked from the back door to the main street, where a bus was just coming.
The cheapest bus fare is six cents, and the most expensive is twelve cents, which is much cheaper than a rickshaw fare, which is twenty cents.
Lin Ruotang took a taxi to the designated bank and withdrew 10,000 French francs.
Lin Ruotang breathed a sigh of relief and muttered in his heart:
"That's not difficult!"
When she was halfway there, she saw a group of secret agents in black uniforms setting up a roadblock and checking the road. She was startled.
"We absolutely cannot let anyone find this money, or else we'll be dead or buried."
Xie Wuwei, who was secretly following Lin Ruotang, cursed in his heart. He didn't expect to meet someone for questioning him.
