Chapter 361 My House is Quite Big (Please Subscribe)

Upon hearing this, Wu Fei's eyes flashed with contempt. The next moment, he shoved the entire pack of cigarettes into the other man's hand.

A mere pack of cigarettes is nothing to him.

Of course, the pack of cigarettes in his hand wasn't something you could easily buy on the market.

"!"

The man was taken aback at first, and didn't quite react.

Then, his eyes widened suddenly, and his lips trembled violently.

They just handed him the whole pack of cigarettes?! They haven't even asked any questions yet!

"Now, are you willing to answer our questions?" Zuo Fei asked with a smile.

"Yes! Yes!"

The man nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice. He put down the large package he was carrying, looked at the pack of cigarettes in his hand with great affection, and swallowed hard.

Just then, a bold idea popped into his mind.

The person in front of me is so generous, he must be someone who is not short of money. If I seize this opportunity, it shouldn't be a big problem to ask for a pack or two of cigarettes.

"There are too many people and too many eyes around here. Let's go inside and find a place to talk."

Li Yan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"Okay, okay!"

The man said enthusiastically, "Let's go to my house to talk. My house is quite big. Come on, let's go into town first, and then..."

"Let's talk inside," Li Yan said with a smirk. "If I'm not mistaken, you should have a house in this village, right?"

The man paused, then nodded subconsciously, saying, "Yes, there is, but everything inside has been moved out. It's completely empty; there's not even a stool to sit on."

"It's okay."

Li Yan smiled and said, "Well, I just want to ask you about something. It won't take long. You can stand here for now."

"OK!"

After a slight hesitation, the man readily agreed.

He secretly thought.

I'll find an opportunity later to see if I can get a couple more packs of cigarettes from them.

The packaging of these cigarettes doesn't look like a cheap, mass-produced item. They must cost at least several hundred yuan a pack, right? Even if I don't smoke them myself, I could sell them and use the proceeds to buy supplies for my family. That would be a great idea.

Little did they know, Li Yan and the other two exchanged a glance, a cold glint flashing in their eyes.

The group entered the village, turned left and right, and stopped in front of a multi-story building.

"It's on the second floor, we'll be there in a bit," the man said with a smile as he turned around at the front.

"No need, there's nobody here. Just find any house, that one will do."

Li Yan pointed to a room on the left.

"well."

The man walked in with a smile.

Just as he said, it was completely empty, with nothing inside.

"The three of you, ask away. I've been in Anshan City for several years, and there's nothing I don't know."

"it is good."

Li Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "That pack of cigarettes was just a small gift. If your answer later is satisfactory, I guarantee you will receive much more."

"Okay, okay, big brother, hurry up and ask!" the man said impatiently.

Wu Fei and Zuo Hong, standing to the side, wore amused smiles.

Poor guy, he didn't even realize he was about to die.

"Here's the thing, we came from elsewhere and saw that the two villages outside Anshan City were completely deserted. What's going on?"

"Oh, so that's what happened?"

Upon hearing this, the man laughed and said, "Brother, you've really come to the right person. The people from our village, and the people from the neighboring village, have all moved into Anshan City."

"What! They moved to the city?"

"Have all the people from both villages moved in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Fei and the other man exclaimed in surprise.

Li Yan's face also showed shock.

"That's right."

Upon hearing this, the man said smugly, "The people from both villages have all moved into Anshan City, just yesterday."

"?"

The three exchanged glances, their eyes filled with deep confusion.

As we all know, cities are for people of value to live in.

Even temporary gathering places outside the city are not affordable for ordinary people.

So what's going on with Anshan City? Why did everyone outside the city move in? Does that mean everyone outside the city is an Awakened One? That's obviously impossible.

"Hehe, you three must be wondering why we're able to live in the city, right?" the man asked with a smile.

"We are indeed very puzzled," Li Yan nodded with a smile, "So, we would appreciate it if you could clear up our doubts, brother."

"No problem, no problem."

The man chuckled, then sighed and said, "Even now, I still find it hard to believe that we ordinary martial artists, who could only live outside the city and never had any hope of living in the city, can one day live in Anshan City so easily without paying any price."

"No need to pay any price?" Wu Fei's pupils dilated in disbelief. "You... you moved in without spending a single penny?"

"yes."

The man nodded emphatically. "All of us are like this. We got a house in the city without spending a single penny. It's not just us. Did you guys see those people outside the city just now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan and the other two unconsciously recalled the more than a thousand people outside the city gate, some of whom were dressed in rags and looked no different from beggars.

"I see them, who are they?"

"They're from those small villages around here." The man's face showed a look of disgust.

Just as the people inside the city looked down on and despised those who lived in the two camps outside the city.

Those who lived in the camps outside the city also despised and looked down on the people in the small villages on the wilderness, including Songjiabao, whom they considered inferior.

"The people from those small villages nearby?" Li Yan was taken aback, then realized something and asked, "Did they also come here to live in Anshan City this time? Like you, they can move in without spending any money?"

"Brother, you're really amazing. I only need to give you a brief explanation, and you've already guessed everything." The man gave a thumbs up.

"?"

Li Yan and Wu Fei exchanged a glance, their shock written all over their faces.

What exactly happened in Anshan City? How can just anyone be allowed to enter and live in the city?

"My three brothers, you've come at just the right time."

The man continued, "Come with me later. Once you register your information, you'll become residents of Anshan City."

"Is it really that simple?"

Li Yan was even more incredulous.

"Of course it's that simple. How complicated did you expect it to be?"

The man laughed and said, "Speaking of which, we all have to thank one person."

Upon hearing this, the three men's ears perked up immediately, and they asked in unison, "Who?"

One can imagine the status of someone who can make such a decision in Anshan City.

But then a problem arises.

The city lord of Anshan City has long been dead, as some have witnessed. The president of the Anshan City Awakened Association is also missing, and there has been no news of him for so long, so he must have died long ago as well.

So, who will be able to make the decision?

"It's Lord Li Ping, the president of the Awakened Ones Association."

As the man spoke, deep gratitude appeared in his eyes.

"Who?"

"The president of the Awakened Ones Association?"

"Li Ping?"

The three of them gasped in surprise again.

Isn't the president of the Anshan City Awakeners Association surnamed Gao?

"That's right, it's Chairman Li."

The man nodded repeatedly and said, "It's Chairman Li. He ignored the objections from the people in the city and let us stay there, as did the people from those small villages in the distance. I heard that Chairman Li specially sent awakened members of the association to escort them so that they could be brought here safely. Chairman Li is truly a great person!"

"So that's how it is?"

Li Yan and the other two suddenly realized what was going on.

Immediately, a strong sense of doubt and confusion welled up in my mind.

First, who is this Li Ping? The person in front of me said he is the president of the Anshan City Awakened Association? So, he took over after the president surnamed Gao had his accident?

If you think about it that way, it makes sense.

But then the second question arises: what exactly is his motive for doing this?

Letting so many useless people live in the city just adds unnecessary pressure to the city, isn't it a thankless task?

"What's wrong, brothers?"

Seeing the three people's puzzled expressions, the man asked curiously, "Was there something I didn't explain clearly?"

No, you've made it very clear.

As Li Yan spoke, he asked, "Do you know why Chairman Li did this?"

"what?"

The man was taken aback, then scratched his head and said, "Isn't it obvious? Chairman Li is kind-hearted and can't bear to see us suffer outside the city, so he let us move into the city. Actually, there are still quite a few empty spaces in the city. I heard from someone... don't tell anyone, okay? I only dared to tell you this news because I get along particularly well with the three of you."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan and the other two were immediately intrigued.

"Don't worry, brother, do we look like the kind of people who like to talk too much?" Wu Fei laughed.

"It doesn't look like it."

The man chuckled, then lowered his voice and said, "I heard that this Chairman Li is the newly appointed chairman. The previous chairman would rather leave vast tracts of land in the city uninhabited than allow the poor people from outside the city—including us—to come in."

Chairman Li is different; as soon as he arrived, he allocated these vacant lots to us. He's such a kind person! May God bless him and grant him a long and healthy life.

Upon hearing this, Li Yan and the other two inwardly let out a cold laugh.

What a great person?

Is he a hypocrite?

Even if we assume he's a really good person, so what? He's just disgusting.

"Oh, right, we also have to thank Chairman Hua. If it weren't for him, Chairman Li wouldn't have come here to serve as our chairman."

The man suddenly said something.
