New Order Plan

The shop suddenly fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Old Ma and his wife exchanged a glance, realizing that their son seemed to have gotten into some trouble, and their faces showed tension and worry.

Ma Zhengjiu stared at Jiang Qingshan with an uneasy expression, stammering, "Wh...what do you mean?"

"Did you organize thugs to hang banners in front of the Prosecutor's Office and prepare to give false testimony to frame a police officer for Kam Yuen-sang?"

"..."

"I've done so many important things for him, what will happen in the end? Masahisa, dirty gloves will just get thrown away."

Jiang Qingshan spoke calmly, and as he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Ma Zhengjiu's mother.

The woman placed ten old-fashioned mobile phones in front of Jiang Qingshan, looked at her son with suspicion, and silently retreated to her husband's side.

Ma Zhengjiu's breathing became erratic, and his expression suddenly became somewhat distorted.

He lowered his head and fell silent, his hand gripping the chopsticks trembling slightly.

Jiang Qingshan took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and then put it into Ma Zhengjiu's mouth: "You must be very uneasy too."

Ma Zhengjiu trembled, his gaze becoming unfocused and unable to look directly at her.

The police officer in front of me seemed to be able to see through everything.

He took two puffs of his cigarette, his throat bitter, and said, "I just want to keep this hard-won job."

If he is laid off by the company, this tiny shop will also be unable to continue operating.

The landlord will immediately evict them, and without a home and income, the family will be in dire straits in the blink of an eye.

They must either return to the quarantine area on their own within the specified time or be forcibly repatriated by the local police station.

He didn't want to go back.

He had had enough of the quarantine zone, a place on the fringes of order.

A motley crew of pioneers, local bullies terrorizing the town, and elusive monsters that appear frequently...

For ordinary people like them who haven't awakened any special abilities, life there can be summed up in four words: precarious and uncertain.

"You're from Lushan Town, so we're practically from the same hometown."

Jiang Qingshan picked up a dumpling from his rice bowl and ate it while saying this.

Ma Zhengjiu was clearly taken aback, feeling quite surprised.

Jiang Qingshan added, "I grew up in an orphanage in the mountains."

Ma Zhengjiu was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and uttered two words: "Impressive."

An orphan who grew up in a welfare home in a quarantine zone has now become a detective police officer in the planned area; the value of this position is self-evident.

Looking at himself, he neither awakened any special abilities nor got into the United University. He tried his best but ended up like this.

"How did you meet Jin Yuansheng?" Jiang Qingshan asked curiously.

Ma Zhengjiu seemed to have calmed down a lot. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Three years ago, he ran into trouble in town, and I helped him out of it."

"Because of women?"

"right......"

"What business did he go to town for?"

"At that time, the welfare home was suddenly abandoned. Changsheng Group took great kindness and took the initiative to take over the resettlement of those children who had nowhere to go for the quarantine zone administration. Director Jin was in charge of handling this matter, but he was not a director at that time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingshan unconsciously slowed his chewing down a third.

He was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the welfare home would be involved with the Changsheng Group.

Ma Zhengjiu quickly added, "This incident even made the news at the time."

Jiang Qingshan nodded and silently lit a cigarette.

After a pause, he glanced at the elderly couple sitting on the edge of the bed and said to Ma Zhengjiu, "Write a letter of complaint with your real name and send it along with the contents of your phone to the United Hotel for the investigation team."

"I......"

Ma Zhengjiu swallowed hard, a look of fear on his face.

His phone is full of juicy gossip about Kim Won-saeng.

Over the years, he recorded all the shady things Jin Yuansheng assigned him.

He even secretly recorded the conversation between Kim Won-saeng and Speaker Yoo in the car on the day they left the police headquarters.

He only intended to use it to protect himself when absolutely necessary.

But now, he really doesn't dare to hand it over voluntarily.

But he knew perfectly well that the man in front of him was no good either.

If he doesn't agree, who knows what the other party might do.

What should I do?

Ma Zhengjiu's heart was racing, and his face turned pale.

Jiang Qingshan tapped the table lightly with two fingers: "Once it's done, the investigation team will protect you. You'll become an informant for the Investigation Department, and the General Administration will give you a new identity so you can continue to live peacefully in the planning area."

Ma Zhengjiu was slightly taken aback, and his expression changed.

His Adam's apple bobbed a few times as he struggled internally.

After a moment, he held his head in his hands and muttered, "They won't let me go."

"And what about me?"

"..."

"Masahisa, think carefully about how to make yourself safer. If you wait until you're discarded like trash before you regret it, it will be too late."

Jiang Qingshan stubbed out his cigarette on the ground, unpacked all the old-fashioned mobile phones and stuffed them into his coat pocket, then got up and walked out the door.

Ma Zhengjiu was lost in thought, smoking a cigarette, until the cigarette burned his fingers, which snapped him out of his daze.

Before leaving, Jiang Qingshan turned back and said, "Hey, Zhengjiu, don't worry your parents."

Ma Zhengjiu forced a smile and nodded at Jiang Qingshan.

Jiang Qingshan said nothing more. As soon as he stepped outside, he heard a series of clanging and banging sounds coming from inside.

He straightened his coat, checked the time, and turned to walk towards the exit of the alley.

The stars are like water, and the bright moon hangs in the sky.

The shadows stretched long on the ground.

In a pile of waste paper by the roadside, a lonely stray dog ​​whimpered, clutching a dirty rag doll.

Turning onto the pedestrian street, men and women sat on the steps in front of the bar, touching each other.

Jiang Qingshan passed by silently.

Laughter echoed down the steps.

The drunken man said, "He looks like a mongrel, a country bumpkin from the quarantine zone."

Shh, don't let anyone hear.

"So what? Hey, making money? Come here and shine my shoes! Hahaha."

Jiang Qingshan glanced at the other person indifferently.

After walking a few meters, he raised his sword fingers and with a slight twist of his wrist, the stone pillar by the roadside shot into the sky and flew towards the man.

Immediately afterwards, a loud bang was heard in front of the bar, followed by a girl's sharp scream.

The stone block landed precisely between the man's outstretched legs.

It was just one centimeter away from his precious genitals.

The man was so frightened that he urinated on the ground, and the girl next to him fainted.

......

Opposite the United Hotel.

Jiang Qingshan stood in the shade under the tree, quietly gazing at the building.

If Ma Zhengjiu makes the right choice, Jin Yuansheng will be finished.

There are obvious solutions to obvious problems. If someone initiates a team fight, the system will automatically match them with teammates.

There are always far more people waiting for you to make a mistake than waiting for you to do something right.

Whether it's Speaker Liu or the Control Yuan.

And things that happen in the shadows have their own solutions.

Jiang Qingshan's gaze swept across the hotel rooftop, where a formation of several police patrol boats with flashing lights flew by.

He took out his phone and glanced down at the time.
