Small Gang

Chapter 67

(Unedited)

…

The person who dragged me with some golden teeth is also a young man like me. But his way of clothing is different as he seems to be from an affluent family. I just now noticed that his attire makes him look like a son of a rich family.

But something is different about this guy. He seems to be rich but at the same time looks poor. This is due to the traces of stains on his clothes.

His suit which looks expensive is stained by some traces of grease, and his pants are a little worn out along with his leather shoes.

While running I tried to observe the guy and it did not take long before we soon arrive in an old building. I noticed that while running we were able to lose our pursuers in the process. The young man is a bit agile as he jumps from one wall up to another as if he is good at doing parkour.

But whenever he turns his back on me, I would just casually follow him behind without doing those difficult movements and stuff. But I was really interested in how he was able to do it and decided to observe the young man closely.

Soon, I began to follow his movements which give me the feeling of freely flying through the roofs and the streets. Although it would be easier for me to use my strength and dexterity in this kind of situation, it has already piqued my interest to observe and learn more.

Soon, I was moving like him and could easily scale the walls without a hitch even without using my strength and dexterity that much.

But it seems that this continuous movement drains a slight amount of my constitution.

After arriving in the old building we entered a window through the fire exit ladder.

I could see that inside that room, there are a few youths just like him and they are busy just idling roundabout without doing anything.

"Hey, you're good… I tell you that." the young man said as he patted my shoulder.

Suddenly, one of them noticed that my jacket seems to be bulging and wanted to touch my back to see what it is.

But I moved quickly and patted his hand away.

I did not say anything and just look at that guy coldly.

As if being provoked he also glared back at me.

"What? Do you have a problem?" he said as he suddenly stood and came closer to my face.

I just look at this young man with a burly body. I did not want to cause trouble at this time as I did not want to alarm Lin Ting. I know that I am already close to his territory. If he knew that I am already here, then he might prepare and everything would become more troublesome.

"Hey… Hong Bin, take it easy, man… This guy is new, so he did not know the routine yet." the young man who took me in this place said while pushing the big guy away.

"I'm Qing Lao… and these are my friends and my teammates… This big guy here is Hong Bin, that beauty right there is Yan Yin, that thin one is Gin… we just call him Gin… Haha… and that other beauty is Jian Feili… and of course our fearless leader who is not present at the moment is… Yu Mantao."

When I heard that name a face immediately appears on my head. Yu Mantao is one of the culprits that are responsible for my death and abduction. She is one of the school beauties in my school and has something against Lin Qiao.

Suddenly a slight flashback appears on my head and at that time, people are surrounding me while holding knives and Yu Mantao was one of those people. But I noticed that her expression seems a bit different.

I did not notice it at that time, but now that I could recall it at will, I could tell that something is wrong with her expression.

Then I saw her seemingly walking towards me and then she stabbed me while saying in a low voice.

"Sorry… sorry…" she said while feeling a bit nauseated.

Then at this time I also noticed another face among the group which showed the same expression as her. Although they are among the people I wanted to get my revenge with, I now noticed this big difference.

Though I can recall it now, I still did not want to let my emotion be swayed. No matter what, they are still a part of the group which bullied me before. Those words they said to me while beating me up before the kidnapping. They have stepped on my pride but did not repent and instead did what they did to me and Lin Qiao. They belong to the same group of people.

"Hey man… Are you okay? By the way… What's your name?" suddenly the young man named Qing Lao asked.

"I'm Xin… just call me Xin," I said without showing any emotion.

"Ohhh… Mysterious eh… With your old jacket and face full of grease, I don't think you're anything in this city. Wait a minute… Are you from the outer wall? No way…" suddenly the young woman named Yan Yin said with an exaggerated expression.

Everyone immediately chuckled at her antics. Everyone in this flat seems to be my age. They are between 18 and 20.

But the atmosphere inside this room is a bit suffocating for me as the Qi inside is not pure. The presence of a narcotic substance in the air made it a little uncomfortable hence I decided to go outside.

"I'll be on the roof…" I said as I turn around and left.

Everyone was a bit stunned and then immediately chuckled.

…

"Hey, Qing Lao you've brought someone weird in here. Why did you do that? This is the first time I see you doing this. Well, except for those women that is… Hahaha…" Yan Yin teased.

Qing Lao sneered at her then turn his attention towards the roof. He was a bit curious why the guy was able to follow him even to their hideout. When he was running away from the authorities at that time, he did not expect to see the guy. But he felt a bit of pity for the young man especially when he saw his old jacket and dirty face.

But he was really surprised at the nimbleness of the guy which made him wanted to take him in and be a part of their group.

Having a sidekick is not that bad of an idea at that time.

But it seems that the guy is a bit cold and has a hard time getting along with others.

"Guys… don't tease him that much. I will get him back, I will tell you this, that guy is as good at parkour as me. So he will be useful in some of our gigs… Okay?"

"Hey, how do you know that we can trust him? I could see something bulging in his jacket maybe it's a kind of weapon?" the burly Hong Bin said.

"Weapon? If he has some weapon, then I could have already noticed it and his movements would not be that agile… I'm not an amateur you know…"

"Yeah… yeah… Whatever, go and get your lover back! Hihihi…" the quiet beauty Jian Feili said while giggling.

Her words made the rest of the people in the room laughed.

"Damn you, Feili…" Qing Lao cursed as he grumbled while going out of the window.

He went to the roof and tried to find Xin while thinking of what his friends told him. However, he is confident in his skill to tell people. He knew that the young guy is not someone with evil intentions. Hence he did not want to believe that he is someone dangerous.

As he climbs the stairs to the roof, he saw Xin washing his face on the faucet from the overhead water tank of the building.

Qin Lao was a bit stunned upon seeing his fit and well-toned muscles. Unlike Hong Bin who has bulging muscles, this guy looks different. His body is like the body of a model with fair skin and a handsome face.

Qin Lao shook his head as he feels disgusted by his thoughts.

"I'm a straight guy, damn it!" he thought as he diverted his attention towards the jacket hanging on the side.

Then he noticed a cardboard box inside of it.

"I guess that is the reason why Hong Bin thought that he has a weapon. It's actually a small cardboard box." Qin Lao thought as he walked near Xin Wei.

"Dude, you've washed up… You look like a proper person now… Haha…" Qin Lao chuckled.

"Thank you for accepting me in this place. But it seems that not many people live in here." Xin Wei asked.

"Of course, this is because this building is owned by Yu Mantao…" Qin Lao said with a smirk.

"Dude, you can stay here for a bit, this is not much but in this place, you can earn your keep and earn a living for yourself. It's rather good than just roaming aimlessly in the city right?" Qin Lao added as he patted Xin Wei's shoulder.
