Chapter 230 Secret visit to Jinshan Town ()
  Tom's crying was both unexpected and reasonable to Fang Hui. After all, he was only a ten-year-old child.

Only children can break their defenses over a meal.

"Okay, Tom, don't cry. Why did you lie to me? Can you tell me?"

Tom sobbed for a while and then stopped crying. He whispered: "Charlie asked us to lie and deceive people's sympathy so that we can get more money."

Fang Hui was a little surprised when he heard this, "Charlie is your leader, and he has many children like you under him?"

Tom nodded and quickly shook his head, "He, he..."

"Tom, don't be afraid that I won't tell others. I just want to understand what's going on here. Maybe I can help you."

Tom lowered his head, unwilling to say another word.

Fang Hui planned to save the country in a roundabout way, so he continued to ask the white boy.

"Since you don't have a sister, we have to bring the food from before. Since you don't have a sister, there must be other companions. Can we give the food to them?"

After hearing Fang Hui's words, Tom showed a hint of joy on his face, but it quickly disappeared.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, I can't tell you. Charlie doesn't allow us to tell outsiders our information."

Fang Hui had no choice but to give up this plan and canceled the previous order.

The white waiter was a little dissatisfied with this, cursed Fang Hui and left.

Fang Hui didn't take it seriously, gave him a tip after paying the bill, and then took Tom out of the cafe and onto the street leading to the town.

"Mr. Fang, wherever you want to go, I will take you there."

Fang Hui looked at Tom's left foot and said, "Can your foot be able to walk long distances? How about we rent a carriage?"

Hearing that the Chinese actually took pity on his lameness, Tom was very touched, but he could not let the guests spend more money for him, otherwise the guests would probably kick him away and replace him with someone else as a guide.

"Mr. Fang, you don't have to worry about me, I can do it. Really, you see I'm walking well!"

Tom limped along very fast indeed, but he was too young for this speed to last.

Fang Hui looked at Tom's stubborn look and couldn't bear to embarrass the child, so he quickly followed Tom.

"Let's go check out the town first. I haven't been here yet."

The white boy was very happy to be able to play his role. He smiled and said: "Then come with me. I am very familiar with the town."

After walking for five or six miles, the two finally arrived at the Long Street of Jinshan Town. Through Tom's introduction, Fang Hui had a general understanding of Jinshan Town.

There are more than 10,000 wealthy white people living in the entire town, and most of the remaining white people live in the gold mining areas.

The entire town has a large cross layout, and most of the shops and houses built along the street are owned by white owners.

Many of the people who come to live here are white people looking for gold. They buy properties at high prices and live here.

In gold mining areas, most of them have one or two gold mines.

There are several casinos scattered in the center of the town. Most of the owners of these casinos are Chinese, and there are also white owners who control one or two casinos through Chinese.

In addition to the casino, there are more than a dozen bars in the town. The bars here are overcrowded at night, and there are white drunks fighting and fighting everywhere.

In addition, there are several brothels in the town. Most of these women are from Europe and a few are from Asia.

There used to be brothels that were mainly owned by black indigenous people, but after Boss Shi brought people to investigate, the black brothels disappeared.

The owners of these brothels and bars were all white, and they controlled hundreds of female slaves.

Listening to Tom's talk, Fang Hui was a little surprised. A child actually knew all about these dark things, which was very scary to think about.

Children of Nanhua Company's age, apart from figuring out how to read and do math, are probably thinking about what to play after class.

……

The two of them walked around for a long time, and when it was noon, Fang Hui took Tom to a restaurant and ordered two steak sets.

After the meal, the two continued to hang out, and Tom's impression of Fang Hui became better and better.

In the afternoon, Tom even called out a white kid for stealing Fang Hui's wallet.

This surprised Fang Hui, judging from the information revealed in Tom's previous words. The kid who stole the wallet and Tom should belong to the same gang. They are both trying to make money, but he actually sabotaged his companions' actions for his own sake.

It could be seen that he had an effect on him, so he planned to work harder at night to open Tom's mouth.

In the evening, Fang Hui found a high-end French restaurant in the town and ordered two luxurious French meals.

There were cream-baked snails, foie gras and desserts. This feast made Tom very happy, especially the ice cream dessert after the meal.

"Tom, are you happy today?"

Tom smiled and nodded while eating ice cream: "Well, I'm glad, Mr. Fang, you are so kind to me. I have never eaten here before, thank you!"

Hearing what Tom said, Fang Hui smiled and said, "Because you helped me keep my wallet today, I want to thank you."

Tom's face turned slightly gloomy when he heard this, and the ice cream in his hand no longer smelled good.

"Well, that's what I should do. You, you haven't paid me yet, so I can't let your wallet be stolen by others. I, I did this to keep my salary."

Seeing Tom trying to convince himself, Fang Hui sighed. He took out a green military ticket from his wallet and handed it to Tom.

"This is your wages for today. Take it back and give it to Charlie."

Tom took the green military ticket and looked at it carefully. When he saw the honorary Chinese sitting behind the table and the monster behind the military ticket, he smiled silently.

I can successfully deliver business today, and I don’t have to go hungry.

No, I was very full today, so I didn’t need to eat the broken bread Charlie gave me.

Well, hide the broken bread and eat it later when you don't have enough money.

……

Fang Hui took out another red military ticket from his wallet and handed it over, "This one is for you."

Tom looked up with a look of surprise on his face, "Why do you want Mr. Fang to give me more money? I have already received my wages."

"This is what I gave to myself. You are so young, you will definitely be hungry sometimes.

Hide this money and use it to buy food when you are hungry later. "

Hearing what Fang Hui said, Tom couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears flowed down his cheeks from his blue eyes, but he still tried hard not to cry.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Fang, you are a good man!"

Fang Hui stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Tom's face, "Don't cry, this is a restaurant. If you cry, it won't be easy for me to explain. Come on, let's get out of here."

After saying that, Fang Hui got up and went to pay the bill, while Tom wiped away his tears and carefully hid the two military tickets.

By the time the two of them left the restaurant, it was already getting dark outside.

"Tom, we are about to break up. If you have anything to do, you can come to me. I will stay at the Lily House Hotel."

Tom nodded, "Okay, Mr. Fang, thank you!"

Fang Hui nodded, "Goodbye, Tom."

Tom watched Fang Hui disappear into the night. Although he felt a lot of reluctance, he knew he had to go back to Charlie.

Because this Jinshan town is under the control of Charlie and Mr. Bailey.

He sighed at Mr. Fang's background, and then limped slowly towards Charlie's lair.

……

Fang Hui walked for a while, but didn't hear Tom calling him to stop him. He sighed in disappointment, and then took advantage of the night to sneak into a shadowed corner.

After looking back for a while, I found that Tom turned and left.

He immediately came out of the shadows, carefully checked to make sure no one noticed him, and then carefully followed Tom.
