When Zhou Chengze was awakened for the third time this night, he could no longer lift his heavy head.
He hadn't been able to peacefully close his eyes for three days and three nights in a row. Every time he was about to fall asleep, he would be forced awake by different people around him and then forced to listen to the remarks that made his head want to explode.
“50,000 a month, that is 600,000 in 12 months, as long as I work for two years, I can buy a house, and I can buy a car in another year...” The man sitting next to him was excitedly planning his future. His pupils were dilated, and his eyes were bloodshot. The crazy expression on his face made him look like a drug addict.
Zhou Chengze has heard similar calculations no less than fifty times in three and a half days. The method the people of this MLM organization use is to lure people here day and night and brainwash them. Everyone here was exhausted, they would doze off only to be awakened to listen to the well-dressed “lecturers” over and over again about how to make money. At first, some people were as unbelieving as Zhou Chengze, but this suspicion was gradually defeated by these fatigue tactics. Most people's attitudes slowly changed from doubtful to absolute certainty, they would even respond to the call of the “lecturer”, as if they would be really able to own villas and luxury cars tomorrow, fully believing that they would realize their dream of making a fortune soon.
People who have been successfully brainwashed will pay the entry fee of 3,000 yuan and then be transferred to another room. Zhou Chengze was not compromised over the past few days, so he has remained locked up in this room, watching people leave and newcomers come in. The room door was securely locked, the windows were blocked with iron rods and anti-theft nets, and people were guarding outside the door. There was no chance of escaping.
Zhou Chengze's mental state was very poor. Another round of “lectures” in the room came to an end and he heard the people around him raise their arms and shout “Long live” to the “lecturer”. The scene was really scary, it was as if they were being initiated into an evil organization.
When the "lecturer" clapped his hands and encouraged everyone to pay the admission fee, Zhou Chengze understood that he could no longer sit still. He took out his wallet from his pocket, which contained five thousand yuan in cash, which was originally meant to be transferred to his mother in his hometown in Northeast China. Now he could only use the three thousand yuan inside to pay the entrance fee.
About an hour passed, Zhou Chengze was finally transferred to another room with the others who had paid the entry fee. This room was not spacious either. It was about 100 square meters in size, and this room was just as crowded as the one he had just come from. It was already night. The men were sleeping on the floor in the living room, while the women used the bedroom and did not interact with the newcomers. Hearing newcomers coming in, the men, who had just been asleep, enthusiastically rose and laid the bedding for the newcomers to sleep.
It was amongst this group of men that Zhou Chengze discovered Xu Dafan, the one who tricked him into getting in the car at that time. Xu Dafan obviously saw him too, and the expression on his face can be said to be overjoyed. He hurriedly greeted him: “Oh, Xiao Zhou, you are here! "
"En. "Zhou Chengze was so tired that his face became numb, he only responded with a muffled voice, and then a hoarse voice came out of his dry throat: "Where is my brother?" ”
“Don't worry, don't worry, I'll call him over tomorrow. " Xu Dafan said as he quickly laid down the bedding for him and hurriedly said, “You can rest first ah."
Too tired to speak for a conversation, Zhou Chengze nodded, he didn't ask any more questions and fell asleep as soon as he hit the ground.
The night Zhou Chengze was finally able to rest, Xiao Yang stayed up all night. Like Zhou Chengze, he experienced the torture of “lectures” all night. But unlike Zhou Chengze, Xiao Yang's purpose was to see Dong Kun, so he continued to pretend to be very cooperative. On the night of the next day, Xiao Yang followed the group of people in the room to pay the entry fee of 300 yuan, it didn't take long for him to be transferred to the resting room.
Lai Long, who never returned his cellphone, also appeared in this room, making Xiao Yang's bed, handing over a towel and toothbrush, showing extraordinary enthusiasm, but not a word was mentioned about the cellphone. Xiao Yang also noticed that the newcomers who were all admitted into this MLM organization had their mobile phones confiscated. It can be seen that this organization was relatively vigilant and still did not have absolute trust in them.
Xiao Yang patiently slept all night, but the next day there was no breakfast, he was called up early in the morning to listen to a “lecture”. It was almost noon before the women went into the kitchen to cook. The food here was so bad that it was inedible. There was no rice, not to mention the dishes were only a variety of potato soup. Fortunately, they were kept in the house all day, either attending classes or sleeping, so they didn't use much energy and weren't too hungry.
They expected today's lunch would also be potato soup, but while passing the kitchen, Xiao Yang secretly heard the women talking and laughing about adding fish soup today. He thought it was strange, and when it was lunchtime, he found everyone in the room sitting in a circle, facing a large pot of potato soup and a large bowl of fish soup. No one was hungry.
Lai Long cleared his throat and announced: "There are new people joining, so I will invite the head of the dormitory to have lunch with us today. ”
After he said that, he got up, and walked to the door of the room that the newcomers had never seen open before, he knocked on the door: “Dormitory head! Please come out to have lunch with us! ”After asking twice, the so-called “Dormitory head” opened the door and came out. Xiao Yang raised his eyes and recognized the identity of the dormitory head for the first time: it was Zhou Kaiming's elementary school classmate, Dong Kun.
Dong Kun was wearing a suit similar to that of the “lecturers”. He walked with his head held high, and he really had the demeanor of a big boss that can fool many people. He passed by the newcomers sitting in a circle, and they shouted neatly: "Hello, Dormitory head! Dormitory head has truly worked hard! ” The greeting was comparable to that of a military commander's salute.
When Dong Kun sat at the head of the table, lunch really started. He adjusted his bow tie, and his opening remarks were similar to the lecturers: “To welcome newcomers, I prepared an extra dish of fish soup today. Come, come, all of you finish it all one go, this is proof that we are doing business together! Encourage and cooperate with each other in the future! ”
He took the lead in taking a gulp, shook his head and commented: “It's a little salty. "Then he handed the bowl to Lai Long.
After Lai Long finished drinking, he was also not very satisfied: “I think it's too light!”
The bowl was passed down one by one, and everyone drank with a different review. Xiao Yang thought something was wrong, and when he got the bowl, he really discovered that it was not fish soup at all, but a bowl of clear water. He didn't hesitate much, he took a sip and lightly said “It's alright” and passed it on to the next person.
After lunch, while most people went to go nap, Xiao Yang found Lai Long and hesitated for a long time before asking him with uncertainty: “Can I talk to Dong... the head of the dormitory alone?" ”
"Okay, anyhow, you were introduced by Cai Yuanyuan. " Lai Long saw that he was in a daze and that the person did not have much courage, this relaxed his doubts. He took Xiao Yang to the door of Dong Kun's room and knocked on the door: "Dong Kun, do you remember Yang Xiao? The one introduced by Cai Yuanyuan. He wants to talk to you alone.”
After a while, Dong Kun's voice came from the inside: "Come in. ”
Lai Long turned his head and smiled at Xiao Yang: “Go in, I'll go to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Use this opportunity well.”
Xiao Yang nodded and pushed the door in. When he reflexively closed the door, he quietly locked the door. In the room, Dong Kun was sitting on a hardboard bed with a cool mat on it and smoking. When he saw him come in, he smiled and patted the vacant seat next to him: "Xiao Yang, right? Come, come and sit down.”
Without saying a word, Xiao Yang nodded and walked straight over. Before Dong Kun could notice something was wrong, he quickly stepped forward and slammed him on the bed! Dong Kun was taken aback, he went to resist and kicked his legs, swinging his hand, he was a typical northerner, tall and powerful, and his strength was quite great. No matter how flexible Xiao Yang was, it would be easy to break free from his hold.
Xiao Yang grabbed his hand, and used his knee to hit his abdomen, Dong Kun went numb with pain. Xiao Yang then grabbed the bedsheet, pressed his shoulders down, pulled his arms back, and swiftly tied them up!
Dong Kun was about to cry out in pain, but the sheet was stuffed in his mouth, and he couldn't make even the slightest sound. Xiao Yang had already torn off pieces of the sheet and tied his legs too. Xiao Yang then took out Dong Kun's cellphone from his trouser pocket, and quickly dialled Yan Cong's number: "It's me, Xiao Yang. The hostel is at No. 299 Beijing Road, send people over quickly."
After this, Xiao Yang hung up the call and glanced at Dong Kun, who was lying on the bed with his body twisted, struggling to shout. Xiao Yang bent down and grabbed his hair to force him to look up, a pair of dark eyes looked straight into his, his eyes were calm but there was a warning that could not be ignored: “I'll give you a chance to make a difference. Tell me where Zhou Kaiming is now.”
