Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 419 National Players Go Fishing (Monthly Tickets Plus)
"Be careful when driving in the dark."

"Come back early after shopping!"

At 7:30 in the evening, Fang Yan and his friends squeezed into Director Chen's jeep.

Wave goodbye to the people at the door.

At this moment, Fang Yan and Fang Chen were wearing masks, and Xiao Li was also simply put on makeup. Now he looked several years older.

Although it was just a minor adjustment, almost the entire face changed.

Let everyone marvel at the magic of dialect makeup techniques.

After saying goodbye to my family, the jeep started slowly, left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street and headed towards the train station.

Except for picking someone up at the train station or working the night shift, Fangyan rarely goes out during this time.

The same goes for everyone else.

They usually stay at home at this time.

It is a common consensus that things are not peaceful anywhere after dark.

Today is the first time I took the initiative to come out late at night.

So along the way, everyone was looking out the car window curiously.

The capital city at night looks completely different from that during the day.

Under the dim street lights, the streets are empty in winter.

It looks quite eerie.

The occasional bus or people riding their bikes hurriedly past made the scene seem less creepy.

It is about nine to ten kilometers from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street to the railway station. If the road conditions are good, it usually takes more than thirty minutes.

Now it's night and there's some hidden ice on the road, so we slowed down our driving speed.

We drove for about fifty minutes before arriving at the train station near our destination.

When they arrived near the train station, they parked the car next to the square outside the train station. They could not drive to the black boxing venue.

So the car needs to be parked first, the train station or nearby police station are good places.

But everyone unanimously chose the train station.

It is inevitable to meet acquaintances when going to the police station. There will be a round of greetings and explanation of why you are here so late at night. I guess by then I don't know how long the conversation will last.

It’s more convenient this way.

After parking the car, several people, led by the eldest brother-in-law, headed towards the destination of a nearby abandoned factory.

"Do you think we should pretend to be like second-rate people later?" Chen Kaige asked everyone.

The eldest brother-in-law Zhu Lang asked:
"What?"

Chen Kaige was addicted to acting at the moment, he said:
"It's easy. Of course, this is the only way to avoid suspicion."

The eldest brother-in-law Zhao Yuanchao, who was walking in front, said:
"Their IQ is not that high, otherwise the place wouldn't have been swept so many times, and the location wouldn't have been changed. Besides, the gamblers are not necessarily second-rate people, there are also ordinary people in the local area, all of whom want to take a chance."

"As long as you have enough money and don't get stopped outside, they won't care whether you are a gangster or not."

After hearing Zhao Yuanchao's explanation, Chen Kaige was a little disappointed, thinking that these thugs were too unprofessional.

When I think about the plot in "The Godfather", the old gangsters in it are much more professional.

The younger brother Fang Chen suggested:
"In fact, you can pretend to be a second-rate person by yourself, and we can pretend to be the honest people you tricked."

Director Chen was speechless. If you want to pretend, then pretend together. Why let him pretend to be a gangster alone?

I don't look like a bad person at all, do I?

As they were talking, they had already arrived outside a dilapidated factory.

Under the street lights outside the gate, you can see that the big iron gate inside has rusted, the green belt is bare, and in the shady places there is still some snow left over from this period of time. The entire abandoned factory area is overgrown with weeds and looks dead.

My brother-in-law pointed inside and said:

"It's here."

Looking at the lock above, Chen Kaige asked:

"It's locked, how do I get in?"

My brother-in-law looked around and pointed to a place not far away:

"Go in through that collapsed wall over there."

When everyone looked, they saw that after the wall collapsed, a gap that could be used for passage appeared.

After walking over, I could see fresh footprints on the ground, which must have meant someone had just entered.

So the eldest brother-in-law took the lead and everyone walked into the dark factory area.

Walk along the main road leading into the factory, and when you reach a corner, turn right and you can see the lights on in the factory building not far away.

Seeing this, Chen Kaige complained:
"Who would dare to come to this damn place in the middle of the night if no one is leading it?"

The eldest brother-in-law reminded him:

"Shh, there are people in front, don't talk nonsense."

Chen Kaige was stunned and didn't see anyone in front of him.

At this moment, two flashlights lit up in front.

He waved it at them. The eldest brother-in-law, who was leading the group, smiled at them with a simple and honest look on his face and said:

"Friends, we are here to have fun."

After saying that, he picked up a big unity banknote in his hand and shook it.

"Where are the others?" At this time, the other party came over with a flashlight and asked the others.

Everyone took out the money they had and let the other party check it.

This is a pass.

Fangyan also took out a cigarette and handed it to the two thugs who were checking.

Their attitudes improved immediately.

He said to them:

"Don't say we don't take care of you. If you buy Cheng Sanye's people today, you're guaranteed to win."

"Is there any explanation?" Fangyan asked.

The other party immediately waved his hands in disdain:

"Just buy it if you're asked to. Do you want to know how much a cigarette costs?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan stuffed a pack of cigarettes into the other person's hand:
"It's all for you."

Industrial cigarettes are also good stuff these days. After getting a pack, the gangster immediately revealed:
"This boxer is the newly adopted son of Mr. Cheng San. His surname is Bai. He has been practicing martial arts since he was young. A few days ago, he beat someone to a pulp in another arena. Today, he came here to fight with You Lei, one of Shen Gaowei's men."

"Mr. Cheng San has come prepared. He intends to fight all the way to meet You Lei. In the first few games, you should follow and bet on the guy named Bai. You will definitely win money."

"Oh, I see." Fang Yan nodded.

The other party waved his hand:
"Okay, let's go in quickly, the betting has already started."

"Thank you, brother." Fangyan replied.

Then everyone walked in.

Director Chen asked Fangyan and the others:

"Is there an expert? Should we take a look first and then wait and see what happens?"

Fangyan shook his head:
"No need, just sign up and fight on stage."

Chen Kaige asked:
"Wouldn't that be too rash?"

Fang Yan said to him:
"Don't forget, Xiao Li went abroad to fight against top-notch boxers in other countries, and he is also the champion of several national competitions. For a master in such a small arena, he is competing with these hooligans, not with him."

Xiao Li also nodded at this time:
"Yes, I signed up to go on stage directly."

"Just bet on me to win."

As they were talking, everyone walked into the abandoned workshop.

Then I saw a square arena built with sandbags and fine sand in the middle of the factory building where all the machines had been moved out.

The ring was surrounded by people.

There are two shirtless men warming up.

One of them was probably in his thirties, about 1.80 meters tall, and his arms looked particularly long.

He was swinging his hands around like a whip.

After seeing this, Xiao Li lowered his voice and said to Fang Yan:

"Those who practice Tong Bei Quan!"

Fangyan nodded.

Everyone's eyes then turned to another one.

The man was dark all over, like an old farmer who had worked in the fields for many years, but he looked only in his twenties, about 1.7 meters tall, with well-proportioned muscles. He was stretching his legs and looked like an expert in leg skills.

There were also several people under the stage, with boxing bandages wrapped around their wrists and joints to protect them. They were obviously the boxers who were about to go on stage.

There are more or less several people around them, who should be members of their team.

Wang Yitang then carefully reminded:

"It looks like they're not all gangsters. We can't be careless."

Li Lianjie nodded and glanced at several people.

People who have practiced martial arts and reached a certain level become very sensitive to visual perception.

Among the boxers over there, two of them sensed Xiao Li's gaze and turned to look at them.

When someone came in through the door, a middle-aged woman came running over with a notebook in her hand. She shouted:
"Brothers! Hurry up and see who will win. The game will start in five minutes!"

Fangyan pointed at Xiao Li and said:

"We have a brother here who wants to sign up for the competition."

"We all plan to bet on him to win."

PS: After updating this, I still owe you 28000 words.

No more today. Please come early tomorrow.
