Xingxiong immediately took over: "But what? Xiaochen, is there anything I can help you with?"

"It's really hard to say this. I want to go downtown to find a job, but I don't have the money for the bus fare."

Luo Chen scratched his cheek awkwardly, half of his face turned red, as if he was really ashamed.

"Short of money, huh?"

Xing Xiong looked at Luo Chen in a daze, and the next moment, she took out her wallet and stuffed it into Luo Chen's hand.

"The public security in the downtown area is not as safe as that in the upper area. There are many gangs, thieves, pickpockets and robberies everywhere."

"Don't blame me for being harsh. If you go to the downtown area in your current state, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back alive."

"Don't you want to be a police officer? Then you should know how to judge the situation."

Xing Xiong said this sincerely, she knew Luo Chen was a kind-hearted person.

But the complex environment of the lower city was simply not something Luo Chen could adapt to.

You have to know that being a hero requires capital. In the Upper City, I and other colleagues can take care of Luo Chen. If he goes to the Lower City and offends the wrong people, he may die without knowing where he is.

In order to prevent Luo Chen from continuing to refuse, Xing Xiong stuffed the remaining two buns into his mouth and ran away.

Xingxiong ran all the way to the parking lot of the Guard Bureau before she looked back and confirmed that Luo Chen was not behind her. She sighed with relief.

The morning sun shone on Xingxiong's face. Xingxiong stretched his body and felt an unprecedented joy surging in his body.

Riding on the way home, Xingxiong felt that the whole world had become exceptionally beautiful. The sun was brighter, the air was clearer, and even the flowers and plants on the roadside seemed to be smiling at her.

In the satisfaction of doing a good deed, Xingxiong felt as if she had forgotten something, but her happy mood told her not to think about it and going back to sleep was the best option.

At the same time, in the cafeteria.

Luo Chen opened the wallet with the motorcycle model hanging on it. There were nearly 10,000 Longmen coins in the wallet, as well as Xingxiong's Guard Bureau ID, bar membership card, identity document, etc.

"Aunt Xingxiong is such a grown-up, but she is still so careless. She just gave the money, but how come she even forgot to take her wallet?"

"But at this moment, Aunt Xingxiong should be in a state of great self-satisfaction. It's not a good idea to call her and ask her to come back to get her wallet."

"I'll keep it for her for one day."

In order to prevent others from misunderstanding that he had stolen Xingxiong's ID, Luo Chen considerately cut off Xingxiong's photo and pasted his own photo instead.

"There are so few good people like me who are as careful and considerate as me."

Luo Chen finished his vegetable porridge to get rid of the greasiness from last night's feast, then took Xingxiong's wallet and took a bus to the downtown area.

Ever since I talked to Lin Yuxia about joining the New Age Gang last night.

Luo Chen took it very seriously.

Nowadays, Longmen is a den of snakes and rats. It is obviously unrealistic to reform the environment of Longmen from top to bottom.

If we want to completely transform Longmen, modernize it in an all-round way, and build it into a civilized and strong city, not only the upper class needs reform, but the lower classes also need proper guidance.

As a good person with great ideals and a positive attitude, Luo Chen decided to personally take on the role of model.

He felt that he had to be with the masses and guide them to become positive people.

So he planned to rent a cheap house in the downtown area and get to know the people of Longmen better.

……

In the relatively backward downtown area, the city streetscape appears particularly vicissitudes and desolate.

On both sides of the wide main road, the dilapidated buildings looked like they were splashed with paint, with patches of green and yellow.

The air on the streets was filled with the smell of dust and waste, making it difficult to breathe. The scattered garbage on the ground was not cleaned up and thus mixed with the rotten moss.

In the distance, black smoke billowed out of the factory chimneys, dyeing the sky gray.

Occasionally a vehicle passes by, raising a cloud of dust that makes it impossible to see the road ahead.

Although it is the same city, Luo Chen feels as if he has come to another world.

However, the vicissitudes of the street are not deserted. A group of old men and women are blocking the get-off point. They quickly shuttle through the crowd and enthusiastically attract passengers.

"Young man, would you like to stay at a hotel?"

"Brother, are you hungry? Come over here. The food will be ready in two minutes."

These old men and women were very wild. As soon as people coming from the upper city got off the bus, they were dragged to the side.

"Would you like to stay at the hotel? The environment is good, there is hot water for bathing, and massage is available."

"Here, young man, we have Shui Ling's Fei Lin Xiao Mei and Feng Ti's elder sister. They can also issue invoices. I guarantee you will be so comfortable that you can't walk."

Luo Chen Shaoyan, who was well prepared, nimbly avoided the aunties' pull and watched some people with weak wills following the aunties farther and farther away.

He could only wish the other party good luck. It was not certain whether they would be greeted by their little sister Feilin or by Brother Fengti's fist.

But it's better to let them suffer a little loss. For every honey trap, there will be one less misguided young man in the world.

If he didn't have to find a house today, Luo Chen would also like to pick up customers here and set up a honey trap to make a contribution to the anti-pornography cause.

Quickly crossing the streets of the station, Luo Chen found a real estate agency and planned to look for a place to stay in the downtown area.

In this mixed area, real estate agents are not the same as real estate agents in the upper city.

Here, they must not only have a thorough understanding of the real estate market at the junction of the upper and lower parts, but also have sufficient knowledge of the complex and numerous forces within the junction.

Gradually, some powerful real estate agents developed into information dealers, usually selling rental properties and also selling information privately.

However, Luo Chen, who has always lived in the upper city, did not know this.

He lined up at the door of the agency and felt that there were too many people coming to see the properties. There were more than a dozen people inside the agency handling business.

There were actually more than a dozen people left outside.

Is the economic environment in the downtown area so good?

As for the salesmen in the agency, they all act like big bosses, sitting on a chair, smoking a cigarette, doing things slowly, and having no service spirit at all.

"Brother Li. Why are you here just now?"

Luo Chen felt someone patting his back. He turned around and found a Carters girl standing behind him. She showed a trace of panic when she looked into his face.

"Sorry, I recognized the wrong person." The girl bowed politely.

As a tolerant and generous reserve police officer of the Guard Bureau, Luo Chen would not get angry over such a small matter.

"It's okay. I hope you can wait for the person you want to wait for sooner."

"Hmm..." Luo Chen's gentle attitude startled the girl. She looked at Luo Chen and hesitated to speak, then gently reminded him:

"Brother, this place is actually very dark. You have to pay to ask a question."

"That's great. I like black shops."

Luo Chen's smiling answer made the girl stunned. She nodded blankly, then turned and ran away.

As police officers of the Guard Bureau, it is our responsibility to crack down on illegal shops.

Chapter 15 My helping complex is triggered.

"What are you here for?"

The agent was dressed casually and sloppily, with the collar of his shirt open.

The corners of his clothes were tucked casually into his trousers, and his trouser legs were covered with dust and stains.

His hands were rough and strong, with dirt under his nails, as if they had never been washed seriously.

His attitude towards Luo Chen was inexplicably arrogant, as if he was a high and mighty ruler who was too disdainful to waste time talking to a lowly person like Luo Chen.

"Sir, is there any suitable house here?"

"Are you sane? How can an agent not have houses? Tell me how much you want for the house?"

"Under a thousand, please. I live alone and I want to go look at the house first."

"You can look at the house, but you need to pay a consultation fee of two Longmen coins."

Luo Chen was extremely puzzled as to why a consultation fee was required for house viewing, but when he thought about the fact that this place was located at the junction of the upper and lower urban areas, he naturally understood the local customs and practices.

He decided to follow the rules here. He took out his wallet and prepared to find two Longmen coins so that the agent could take him to see the house.

But when Luo Chen put his fingers into the wallet, he felt nothing.

He looked down and saw that the wallet that had contained ten thousand yuan just now was now clean, even cleaner than the unshaven face of the real estate agent.

I was robbed? When did it happen?

Luo Chen recalled his journey from the Guard Bureau.

The only person who had physical contact with him was the girl who mistook him for someone else.

It looked like no documents were missing, only the wallet with money was gone.

No, there are still two coins left.

It’s just enough to pay the two yuan consultation fee.

Luo Chen's mouth gradually smiled. "She is quite nice."

The girl was undoubtedly a talented pickpocket, as she was able to steal his things without him noticing.

Despite having such an amazing talent, he actually only does petty thefts.

What a waste of her talent.

Ugh……

My desire to help others has come back again.

"Hey, kid, do you want to look at the house?"

Seeing that Luo Chen was in a daze, the intermediary brother spoke with a hint of displeasure and deliberately blew a puff of smoke at Luo Chen.

"I won't watch anymore."

"Don't want to watch it? No problem. The consultation fee is two yuan, not a cent less."

"I didn't see it, why should I pay the consultation fee?"

"Whether you watch it or not, you have to pay the consultation fee."

"Are you short of money?"

In line with the polite principle of adapting to local customs, Luo Chen didn't want to comment on the service attitude of the real estate agency.

But if the other party forcibly demands consulting fees, then the problem changes.

According to Longmen's industrial and commercial management regulations, no company or individual may force purchases or sales in Longmen.

Companies and individuals who force transactions can be prosecuted for extortion.

Luo Chen's sudden question made the intermediary brother frown.

In the past, he asked others to pay for consulting fees.

Others either cowered and paid the consulting fee and ran away, or simply cursed back and were beaten up by him before they paid the money.

This was the first time he had been asked if he was short of money.

However, the success of this young man aroused his interest. If he didn't let him bleed today and broaden his horizons, he would have no chance of leaving this door.

"I am indeed short of money. What do you think I should do?"

Luo Chen: "Are you asking me for help?"

"In that case, I suggest you take care of your personal hygiene, change into a set of clean clothes, and make good career plans." Luo Chen gave his advice sincerely.

The agent was so angry that he laughed.

I said I kill without blinking, and you ask me if my eyes are dry?

Do you understand the current situation and who is the meat on the chopping block?

The agent smiled with a slightly evil look:

"*Longmen swears* Don't think you can get away with it by pretending to be dumb. Even if your cerebellum is shrunken, you still have to pay me."

"You seek my help, but you don't want to listen." Luo Chen lowered his head, pretending to think seriously, and defined the other party's behavior:
