Chapter 183 In the Fog
The fog was thick and almost connected with the dark clouds.
The sky-high buildings squeezed the dim sky to nothing but a thin line. The four-cornered cornices pierced the sea of clouds, and the accumulated rainwater flowed down along the eaves, forming a series of rain waterfalls hanging from the sky.
The majestic and magical advertising projections in the past were unable to maintain their respective shapes at this moment. They dispersed into various colors of dazzling light in the sea of fog, shrouding the Zhongyu District where the crowd was getting louder.
But no matter how bad the weather is, it can't stop desire from waiting for the opportunity.

"What is high precision? What is a sense of security? Not four thousand nine, not three thousand, just two thousand nine hundred nine. Take the upgraded version of the 'Yaoliyi Type' light pistol home! With the gun in hand, yours Life goes with you!”
On the bustling streets, it can be said that hundreds of flowers are blooming, and the noise of people is louder than the sound of rain.
In addition to some common people's livelihood commodities, many contraband items that are prohibited from trading in the Ming Dynasty Law and can only be circulated in the black market are blatantly sold here.
There is no so-called black market here, because everything here can be a black market.
This is Chongqing government, only worthless but not illegal.
"Boss, come and have fun. It's of high quality and low price. It's absolutely worth it."
"Come on, we can issue formal receipts here, and we guarantee that you can get them back to the company for reimbursement."
In the dark alley, the orioles in the empty skirts and coats are shouting hard, and their pretentious charm is trying to bloom on their slightly stiff faces.
The slightly shabby civilian labor slaves huddled under the eaves and stood in a row, squinting and looking up and down.
I was thinking about whether I should go to Huangliang Yimeng and talk for comfort. It’s better to be generous and reward yourself.
From time to time we have to whisper and discuss.
Some of the company's small bosses, who had relatively full wallets, didn't bother to stay here at all, and walked deeper into the alley with their heads held high.
These wandering warblers are just making a small fuss, the real good wine is found in the deep alleys.
The marquee lanterns were whirling on their own feet, performing a full set of elegant female sayings in the limited open space in front of the store.
A strong man wearing armor with dragon and phoenix tattoos on his body stood guard at the door of the store, his eyes wide open and on high alert, ready to intercept customers who evaded the order.
The weather at this time was just the beginning of Haishi, so it was reasonable to say that it was the time when the brothel nightclub business was booming.
But this brothel nightclub called 'Paradise' has already sent away most of its guests, and it's a little deserted.
"Mr. Zhou, please be careful where you step. Why are you standing there dazed? Why don't you come over and help me?!"
Gu Yong helped the last customer out of the store and gave the dissatisfied girl following behind him a fierce look.
The latter came over reluctantly, and as soon as he stood firm, the already drunken guest fell directly into the girl's soft arms, and said vaguely with a big tongue:
"Oh, it smells great! Gu Yong, you are such a good turtle! I am very happy today, and I will only support you from now on. Money is not an issue!"
"Thank you, Master Zhou. Thank you, Master Zhou."
Gu Yong nodded and bowed with a flattering smile on his face. Two fingers quietly climbed up the girl's slender arm and pinched hard.
"Did you hear me? This is my sponsor. If you don't serve me well, I will skin you tomorrow!"
A cold voice with a strong sense of threat sounded in the girl's cochlea.
"He doesn't even have a pick-up car. He doesn't look like a rich man at all. Brother Gu, please give me another one."
The girl's face was full of grievance.
"What else can I change? Do you think you are really a young lady? Don't forget, you are just a middle-aged man who is full of fakes. If someone takes the bait, it's already good. Are you still thinking of hooking up with a wealthy husband?
Gu Yong raised his eyebrows and said, "Let me tell you, being with Master Zhou is enough to last you a year and a half!"
The girl looked suspicious, "Really or not?"
"Don't worry, I've checked with someone. He is indeed the 'foreman' of a company, and he is in charge of dozens of 'work slaves'."
Although the girl was still a little unwilling, she didn't dare to refuse after seeing the fierce look in Gu Yong's eyes.
"Okay, thank you...Thank you, Brother Gu."
After watching the two of them leave with sweet faces and clinging to each other, Gu Yong exhaled a long breath.
He retreated under the eaves of the store door, rubbing his cheeks that were stiff from laughter, and groping up and down his body with his other hand.
"Xiao Gu, come here, smoke mine. The cartridge I just bought tastes as good as cigarettes!"
A finger-length cigarette rod was handed over.
The thug who had been replaced by a robot underneath the crowd was trying his best to put on a friendly smile.
Gu Yong glanced at the other person, nodded slightly, took the cigarette rod and took a deep breath.
His eyes, occupied by fatigue, were hidden in the smoke, and gradually became dazed.
"This taste is still much inferior to cigarettes. It turns out that fake ones can't replace the real ones."
Gu Yong sighed in his heart, but suddenly frowned the next moment.
I haven't smoked cigarettes before, why do I have such a strange idea?
"What's wrong with you, Xiao Gu? This cigarette cartridge is not to my taste?"
A loud call pulled Gu Yong's wandering consciousness back.
"Ah, no, no."
Gu Yong hurriedly changed the subject, "The guests have all left, and no one should come. Brother, why don't you guys go away?"
"Don't worry, brother, I have something to ask you."
The man rubbed his hands back and forth like a fly, and the friction of the iron sheet made a harsh crackling sound.
"Xiao Gu, you work in the store, you have contact with many rich people, and you are more informed than us. I just want to ask on behalf of my brothers, can our store still hold on?"
Gu Yong was surprised, "What do you mean?"
"You don't know?"
"Know what?"
"A new casino club has opened over the Luohan Temple! The decoration is so grand! The business is so hot!"
The man lowered his voice and said, "I heard that there is a Buddha sitting in every private room inside, and even the Bodhisattva of Joy and Bodhisattva of Capital are welcoming guests on both sides of the gate."
Gu Yong glanced at the man who was talking with great joy, and a sense of disgust rose in his heart for no reason, "I heard about it, so what?"
