Chapter 135 Unrest in District Three
"Money!"
"Silver bills!"
"Gun, bring the gun too..."
"Gold... Where's my gold?"
Zuo Tong rushed into his home, opened all the drawers and cabinets like crazy, and stuffed a lot of silver and gold coins into his pockets.
After finding that it was soon full, he hurriedly took out the wrapping cloth from under the bed and stuffed all the valuables into it. While stuffing, he looked at the time on the table and his breathing became heavier.
Anxiety, excitement, fear, expectation... all kinds of emotions intertwined together, making him feel like he was taking drugs, and his hands were shaking slightly.
He was originally just an ordinary law enforcer. Two years ago, he obtained the qualification to enter the Bingdao Ancient Collection, but he didn't get anything. He just licked a few young masters from Aurora City. After returning to District 3, he followed Guo Nan to dominate the market and used his power to make a lot of money. He didn't think it was excessive because most law enforcers did the same.
A few days ago, he and Guo Nan offended the newly appointed law enforcement officer Chen Ling. Not long after, Chen Ling found a reason to kill Guo Nan, which made Zuo Tong live in anxiety and fear all day long... He didn't know whether Chen Ling would kill him too, but he was sure that his career as a law enforcer had come to an end.
Just when he thought everything was going to fall into the abyss, Tan Ming suddenly told him that District 3 was going to be gone, and he got a place to enter an Aurora City...
Zuo Tong was surprised and happy. He knew that this was his chance to change his own destiny.
"Gold!"
Zuo Tong found a few gold bars in the deepest part of the closet. He didn't stuff them into the package all at once, but put them close to his body with great care. He tied up the package in a few seconds and carried it on his shoulder. He swept his eyes across the messy room. After confirming that there was nothing else valuable, he pushed the door and walked out!
He will never come back to this room again... Leaving here, he will embrace a brighter future!
Zuo Tong's eyes were full of ecstasy and hope.
He ran for a while on the street carrying the package, but the gold bars and the package on his body were too heavy, and he soon became out of breath. He looked around and soon locked onto a rickshaw parked in front of a house.
Zuo Tong rushed to the front of the rickshaw and found that there was no one nearby, so he kicked the door open!
"Whose car is that outside?!"
Inside the house, the dim kerosene lamp burned silently. A freckled woman was sitting in front of the lamp, holding a needle and thread in her hand and weaving cloth. She squinted her eyes and almost stuck them to the needle. At this moment, she saw Zuo Tong kicking the door in and was frightened and her face turned pale.
"Commander Zuo?" A dark-skinned man hurried out of the house. Seeing the person coming, he immediately asked in panic, "What are you doing?"
"Is that car outside yours?"
"...Yes."
"Quick, give me a ride!"
The man hesitated. He had just run a trip to District 2 and was almost scared to death. He hadn't rested for long and was exhausted both physically and mentally... Just as he was struggling with how to refuse, Zuo Tong had already pulled out a gun, pointed the gun at his wife, and said grimly:
"I don't have time to waste with you! Go quickly! ! "
The man was frightened and his face changed drastically. He immediately raised his hands and hurried to the door, "I'll go, I'll go... I'll go now!"
The man didn't even have time to take a towel. He rushed out of the door in a thin piece of clothing and unlocked the locked rickshaw.
Zuo Tong quickly sat on it with the package on his shoulder and said coldly:
"Go to the station. You only have five minutes... If you don't get there in five minutes, I'll kill you."
The man was frightened and broke into a cold sweat on the spot. He pulled the rickshaw and started running. Their figures quickly shuttled through the thick fog.
This place is not close to the station. It is almost impossible to run there in five minutes, not to mention that he is dragging Zuo Tong... But judging from Zuo Tong's anxious behavior just now, if he can't get there, he might really start shooting, so he can only muster all his strength and run for his life.
Going to the station at this time... Is there really going to be trouble in District 3?
The man was not stupid. He knew the moral character of these law enforcers. They dared to pull out guns and force him to go to the station at such a critical moment. There must be a reason for life and death. Moreover, the other party was carrying such a large bag. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were going to run away.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He had a wife with poor eyesight at home. If there was a train at the station that could escape from District 3, he had to go back as soon as possible to take his wife with him.
As the rickshaw sped, the panicked pedestrians on the road also noticed this place. They were all stunned when they saw Zuo Tong carrying luggage on the car.
"I just saw a law enforcer carrying luggage towards the station?"
"Really?!!"
"Really, it was that Zuo Tong, our street is under his jurisdiction."
"Speaking of which, I just saw another law enforcer running away with his things in a hurry..."
"Oh no, Xi Renjie is nowhere to be seen either. Are these law enforcers planning to abandon us and flee to Aurora City?!"
"They went to the station, which means there must be a train that can leave here. Come on!! Let's go and take a look!"
"..."
The faces of the people who saw this scene changed, and they hurriedly ran towards the station. At first, there were only four or five people, but as they ran, the news spread more and more widely, and a large number of residents began to follow the trend and approach the station!
"Dad!!" Zhao Yi pushed open the door and said breathlessly, "Hurry! Don't pack your things! Follow me to the station!"
"What?"
Uncle Zhao, who was packing his things and preparing to walk to Aurora City, was stunned, "Station?"
"Someone saw the law enforcers taking their belongings to the station! They must have news! They know that there will be a train from District 3 to Aurora City! It will be too late if we don't go now!"
Before Uncle Zhao could react, Zhao Yi pulled his hand, rushed out of the door, and ran towards the station.
"But, but we don't have money to buy tickets..."
"At this time, why do you need tickets?" Zhao Yi's face was extremely serious, "Dad, you are old, and the road to Aurora City on foot is too dangerous. You will definitely not be able to bear it... Don't worry, I will put you in no matter what!"
Uncle Zhao wanted to say something, but when he saw the young back who resolutely rushed to the station with him, he felt warm in his heart.
But as they gradually approached the station, he realized that his idea was still naive.
At this moment, the station was already crowded with countless figures. A large number of residents from the third district were crowded near the platform, making a lot of noise. More than 20 figures in law enforcement uniforms stood on the platform, with large and small bags of belongings at their feet. At this moment, they held guns in their hands and pointed them at the crowd, and their faces were as ugly as they could be.
"Damn it! How could this happen?!" Zuo Tong got off the rickshaw and was completely dumbfounded when he saw the scene in front of him.
