“No, no!” Ye Ling pushed the wine away. “I will not tell you.”
“Hahaha, you are just boasting.”
“There is nothing in the desert besides dead people.”
…
In the pub, the voice stunned everyone.
That person who said that there were dead people was a teenager. His body was long, and his hair was cropped short. He was not very old. The guy beside him seemed to think he was too meddlesome and hit his head with his hand.
“Keep quiet!”
The young man was extremely afraid and ran to leave the pub.
Ye Ling asked, “What does dead people mean?”
Nobody answered.
“Brother, where is the location of your ingot? We are very familiar with this area, and we can bring you there if you tell us. You will not be able to enter the desert if you are not a local. You will be shot.”
Ye Ling was like a miser. He did not touch the woman’s wine and was also not willing to say the location of the ingot.
The people in the pub were all making fun of him. As if it hurt Ye Ling’s pride, he shoved the girl in front angrily and limped away from the pub.
Jack said, “Xiaoyuan, go to the small town first and help me investigate some things.”
“Investigate what?”
Jack said, “I just thought of a problem. Most of the young people have left the rural small town, and few people are willing to stay in their hometown, yet why is the small town so prosperous? Employment is hard. I want to investigate.”
Ye Ling was in the small town alone, and he needed someone to coordinate with him.
Mu Yuan nodded. “Okay.”
Jack pulled Mu Yuan’s head and pecked him on the lips. “Be careful.”
The kiss came without warning and left in a flash too. Mu Yuan was slightly shocked, and his ears became hot and red. After Jack left, he started to put on a disguise. Ye Ling had distinct features, so it was easier for him to disguise as another person.
It would not be easy for him.
He decided that he might as well wear a mask.
Ye Ling found a hotel in the small town. The hotel was not big, just three stories high. It was an average hotel in the small town. The labor was expensive, and in the rural area, it was not as clean.
Ye Ling shut the windows, looking at the people on the street.
Everyone looked depressed.
Besides being more relaxed in the hotel, the people outside were all looking quite serious.
Not the relaxation and satisfaction that a person in a prosperous small town should have.
Ye Ling went down. The teenager who was in the pub was playing basketball at the backyard of the hotel. The place had nothing except for a basketball net, which looked especially lonely. Ye Ling walked over and sat down.
The teenager played basketball as if he was just wasting his energy. His basketball skills were terrible. Ye Ling had never played basketball before. He almost did not touch any form of sports during his secondary school days.
“I play better than you,” Ye Ling said.
He was confident just like that.
Even though he had never touched a basketball before, because Tong Hua admired a basketball player, he would occasionally watch programs. He would glance at it occasionally and feel that it was very easy and that he could master it immediately.
The teenager took six shots, but none of them went in the net.
The distance was quite near, which made it a pity.
“You are boasting, crippled!” The teenager looked down on the crippled middle-aged person, who was in dire straits.
This person was not only crippled and dejected but was also dreaming to become a rich man overnight.
Mu Yuan laughed at what he said.
Crippled!!
Hahaha, nobody dared to scold Ah Ling after he turned eight years old.
Ye Ling stood up and limped over. “Give the ball to me!”
It was just basketball.
What was such a big deal? Even a crippled could shoot.
The teenager was not happy as he saw that he was so arrogant even though he was crippled. He threw the ball over. Ye Ling caught the ball accurately. He stepped back and prepared to shoot a three-pointer.
