Starting from the Red Moon

"Sifang Transport Company is one of the largest freight companies in Shibei. Its main business is freight transportation between satellite cities. Sometimes it can even transport goods between the main city and other high city walls. Their boss is a woman named Chen. I heard that their business is very big. The business scope is not only the surrounding satellite cities, but also the main city!"

"Brother Lu, are we sure... we want to find them?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Cheng was very grateful for Lu Xin's permission to join this project.

He knew that with his qualifications, even if he had won the favor of the director's daughter, it would still be a very difficult thing to stay in this company without any achievements, especially when he tried to snatch Lu Xin's job but failed, and became disgusted by everyone in the office and his reputation fell sharply, so he showed great concern for this job.

For the entire company, this is also a very important business.

Their company is a small trading company, and its main business is trade between satellite cities. However, the business that Lu Xin was specifically responsible for is related to the main city, and being able to do business with the main city is the dream of all companies.

Therefore, he not only helped Lu Xin to organize the information quickly, but also decided to accompany Lu Xin to investigate very early.

But when they set out, there were three of them.

Princess Xiaoqing also came along. She seemed to be worried that Lu Xin would deliberately exclude her boyfriend at work.

Lu Xin didn't mind, after all, Princess Xiaoqing had a car.

"I'm afraid that Sifang Transport Company is not as simple as it seems..."

Listening to Lu Cheng's report, Lu Xin thought to himself that in modern society, although the discovery of wild grains and the revival of some industries have solved the problem of food for most people, it is still far from building the industrial system of the past.

One of the important problems is transportation.

The roads outside the high city walls were badly damaged and full of obstacles. There were also countless lunatics who could never be cleared no matter how hard they tried. There were also refugees and knights wandering outside the city who lived on looting supplies. There were also many dangers that could not be anticipated in advance. Therefore, those who dared to go outside the city to transport goods were all very tough, confident, and resourceful people...

Especially in the other information that Chen Jing gave me, I got a lot of inside information that could not be found out on the surface.

For example, this woman surnamed Chen was actually a puppet on the surface of the Sifang Transport Company.

The real boss was a man from the wilderness named Qin Ran.

It was just because people from the wilderness were not given official identities and had no opportunity to study in school before they had lived in the high-walled city for three years. They were not allowed to register a company or work in the administrative department before they had lived there for ten years, so he pushed out one of his lovers. The business of this Sifang Company was probably not just honestly transporting goods!

People born in the wilderness are definitely not simple, and they are not honest!

…

…

"Just find them. After all, there are not many people who dare to take on out-of-city transportation business now!"

Lu Xin did not explain much. For his company, this was indeed a business.

But for his other job, it was really important to contact Qin Ran and see if he had any problems.

Princess Xiaoqing, who was driving in front, rolled her eyes through the rearview mirror.

She felt that Lu Xin was a little too pretentious in front of her boyfriend.

But she had been complained by the director yesterday, so she didn't dare to say much at this time.

The car soon arrived in front of the Sifang Transportation Company in Shibei. It was a huge factory building. Most of the buildings inside were demolished and neatly paved with cement roads. In the large yard, there were a row of pickup trucks welded with heavy iron plates and even spikes. All the cars were dirty without exception, like big monsters covered with moss and mud.

I had called before. When I saw Lu Xin and others coming down, a young man with half of his hair shaved, a cigarette in his mouth, and wearing slippers came over. He swung his arms, which were so thin that they were almost like a stick, waved to Lu Xin and others, and then walked inside.

As they passed by, cold eyes fell on them from the roadside from time to time, looking them up and down.

Among these people, there were young men with open chests and ruffians, and there were also men who looked very tough.

"You go in and discuss it with the manager first!"

When they arrived at the door of the office, Lu Xin smiled and said to Lu Cheng and Princess Xiaoqing: "I'm outside, take a look at their car!"

Lu Cheng and Princess Xiaoqing hesitated a little, and Princess Xiaoqing hurriedly pulled Lu Cheng, and the two walked in quickly.

Before finalizing this contract, it is natural to take a look at the other party's car used to transport goods, and if Lu Cheng finalizes the specific terms, it will also be an outstanding performance in the work, so Princess Xiaoqing is still able to distinguish the importance of the important and the unimportant.

After the two of them went in, Lu Xin walked around slowly outside.

The information Chen Jing gave him only said that there were seven or eight murders related to this company, but he was not sure whether it was related to mental pollution. After all, for them, it was common for people to die in disputes and some shady businesses. For Gaoqiangcheng, such cases were trivial matters. To some extent, they were not worth paying attention to at all...

What he needed to do now was to determine the truth of this matter.

So he walked around the company first to see if there were any strange scenes like the one he encountered in the cafe incident before.

"Those running outside are really tough..."

Lu Xin walked around the company a few times and carefully checked a few trucks, thinking to himself.

On these trucks, you can see many different marks, some of which look like they were smashed by stones, and some look like they were cut by knives. In addition, you can see that there are some dark red marks on the tires or chassis, and you don't know if they are blood.

Lu Xin is not really professional about this kind of thing.

But he thinks he should try to be more professional.

So he looked carefully, wondering where he was suspicious.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't hit me..."

"If you hit me again, I'm going to the security office..."

"..."

While Lu Xin was watching, there was a cry from the bungalows in front of him that were used as offices.

He hurried over and saw a few ruffian youths who were kicking Lu Cheng in a circle, cursing him fiercely while kicking him: "How can you do business like this? We run around outside, with our heads on our waistbands, just to let you lower the price? Why are you pretending to be a cultured person in front of me? I'll throw you out and feed you to those lunatics now?"

Lu Cheng held his head and begged for mercy, while Princess Xiaoqing shouted on the side, but didn't dare to step forward to stop him.

"What happened?"

Lu Xin walked forward quickly and pulled his backpack to his chest.

Princess Xiaoqing cried and said, "We just think their offer is too high, and we want to lower it, but they beat us. Also, I see that there are too many problems with their accounts. We can't cooperate with them. If we cooperate with them, it will be very troublesome..."

Before she finished speaking, a woman rushed over, grabbed her hair and started to slap her face.

"Who do you think has more problems, you bitch?"

"It's not that you are nagging, why should I hit you?"

"Ah, tell me, why did I hit you?"

Princess Xiaoqing's face was swollen from being hit, and she didn't dare to say anything, sobbing and crying.

Seeing her being slapped, Lu Xin pulled his hand back from his backpack and subconsciously slowed down his pace.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm really sorry..."

After a long time of hesitation, Lu Xin finally came up. He apologized repeatedly and said, "Why did you suddenly start fighting?"

"Don't tell me nonsense..."

A shirtless man with a scar on his face squinted at Lu Xin and said, "Are you the leader?"

"The caller said it was Manager Lu? Okay, I'll find you. You called and said you needed a car. I've prepared the car and found a driver for you. Now you suddenly regret it. Are you playing tricks on us? These days, everyone's life is not easy. If you give me a step and I give you a step, we can all survive. But if you don't give in, don't blame us for being rude..."

"..."

"Brother is right!"

Lu Xin smiled and said, "Then I'll go back and discuss it, okay?"

Lu Xin felt that what happened to Lu Cheng and Princess Xiaoqing was not unexpected.

Their company is a small trading company in a satellite city. In short, its main business is the circulation of non-strategic materials between satellite cities. Because the boss has a connection with the Material Management Department and a pass, he has a little power in his hands, so the logistics companies they usually contact are all flattering them, and sometimes even give them a lot of kickbacks.

When they suddenly contacted, how could they have thought that this Sifang Logistics Company was different?

It is still unknown what the specific reason for their beating was, but it is also normal for two incompatible attitudes to meet each other.

"Negotiation?"

The scarred man sneered, spat on the ground, and said, "Everyone is busy trying to survive, who has time to fight with you?"

Lu Xin looked a little embarrassed and said, "Then what do you want?"

The scarred man said, "Sign the contract, pay the money and work quickly, and everyone will save trouble!"

Lu Xin was silent for a moment and said, "The contract must not be signed like this!"

The scarred man sneered after hearing this, "This young manager has a strong head..."

At this time, the people around came up lazily, and surrounded Lu Xin in the middle with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xin hesitated for a moment, and suddenly took out a gun from his backpack and pointed it at them.

"Gun?"

These people looked at it and were stunned for a moment.

Even Lu Cheng, who was kicked to the ground and dared not get up, and Princess Xiaoqing, who was pulled by the hair, stared.

No one expected Lu Xin to take out a gun.

"He actually has a gun..."

"Haha..."

"..."

But what followed was a burst of laughter.

The expressions of these men became playful, even the woman who was pulling Princess Xiaoqing's hair showed a disdainful expression on her face, and some people quietly pulled out pointed iron pipes from the surroundings, or took out hammers, axes and other things.

"I can't believe that there are people holding guns inside this wall..."

"Haha, little brother, is your gun decent?"

"..."

A group of people laughed and slowly approached. There was a thin and sturdy young man holding a rusty knife in his hand.

While no one was paying attention, he looked cold and suddenly rushed to Lu Xin's back.

At this time, his eyes were full of ruthlessness. As a street gangster, he knew very well that the most important thing for a gangster was to stand out, but it was not easy to find opportunities to stand out. Except for those big scenes where one had to fight for his life, it usually depended on who was the most ruthless and the fastest. Now this blind man was doomed to be unlucky. As long as he could stab him down with a knife, he could eat meat tonight...

But before he could really stab him with a knife, Lu Xin, who seemed unprepared, suddenly turned around.

He held a gun in his hand and fired without hesitation.

"Bang!"

The young man screamed in pain and fell two meters away, with blood gushing out of his left thigh.

It was Lu Xin's first time to use a gun, and his gun skills were really bad.

But hearing the gunshot, the people around him were suddenly startled and retreated backwards.

The surroundings became quiet instantly, all the laughter and mockery disappeared completely, only the young man who was shot was rolling on the ground with his legs hugged, screaming like a pig being slaughtered, and even crying.

Everyone looked at Lu Xin as if they were looking at a madman. Who would have thought that it was a real gun?

What was even more unexpected was, how could he really dare to shoot?

This was inside the high-walled city, not outside the city. Is the guard hall a vegetarian?

People who often travel in the wilderness are tough, but they are not afraid of death, but more afraid of death.

On the contrary, the young people in the city dared to do anything when they were angry, which was why Lu Xin hit him first.

After hitting this person, Lu Xin immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at a middle-aged woman standing behind the crowd.

"Don't force me!"

"You can all see that my gun is very serious..."
