Chapter 635 - 635 633 Dark Internet Cafe

635: Chapter 633 Dark Internet Cafe 635: Chapter 633 Dark Internet Cafe In the course of swapping cups and making toasts just now, Niu Ming spoke of many hardships, but the most his expression revealed was dejection.

However, when he saw Chen Yang take out a hundred thousand yuan and say that Uncle Niu missed him, his eyes reddened.

Gradually, a mist formed in his eyes.

It took him likely more than ten seconds before he made a move to take the money.

“Mm, I got it, Yang Zi.

Once I get through this, I’ll find time to take my wife and kids back to see the old man,” Niu Ming said as he took the money, nodding heavily.

After expressing his thanks to Chen Yang a few more times and saying he was troubled, they left the restaurant together.

They arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.

Chen Yang mentioned he had come in a van and could drive him back.

But Niu Ming immediately waved his hand, “No need, Yang Zi, my place is quite far, and it’s getting late.

You and your lady need to get back, so I won’t trouble you.”

“Alright then, see you,” Chen Yang didn’t insist on driving him, just waved his hand as a farewell.

Niu Ming also waved, said his goodbyes, then hailed a taxi right at the restaurant entrance and left.

“Where are we going now?” Yang Ruoxi immediately looked up and asked Chen Yang what the next step was as soon as Niu Ming left, and Chen Yang pulled her toward the van.

“Of course, we’re following him.”

“Following him?” Yang Ruoxi was startled, and before she could react, Chen Yang had pulled her along and onto the van.

Once in the van, Chen Yang immediately started the ignition, then followed the direction in which Gu Ming had departed.

Fortunately, the taxi Gu Ming took wasn’t going too fast, so Chen Yang easily kept up.

Watching the taxi drive ahead, Yang Ruoxi then asked Chen Yang why they were tailing Niu Ming.

“I feel like there’s more to him than meets the eye.

I always sense that there’s something about him,” Chen Yang said.

Yang Ruoxi fell silent and recollected the interactions with Niu Ming bit by bit, then nodded, “I have that feeling too.

It seems like he isn’t as great as Uncle Niu described, with a happy life and all.

And I also noticed, he definitely doesn’t wear that suit often; there was dust on the shoulders…”

Chen Yang was momentarily surprised, then smiled, “You’re really observant.”

Yang Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Chen Yang, then without another word from either of them, they continued to tail Niu Ming.

Originally, both thought that after receiving a hundred thousand yuan, Niu Ming would definitely first look for a bank to deposit it or go straight home.

But surprisingly, Niu Ming didn’t head to either place.

Instead, he took the taxi to an old street district and got out of the car.

Seeing this, Chen Yang immediately parked nearby.

After watching Niu Ming pay the fare and walk away, he rapidly got out of the car with Yang Ruoxi and followed on foot.

They trailed Niu Ming until he entered a narrow alley and then saw with their own eyes as he went into a dingy internet café.

“An internet café?

He doesn’t deposit the money but goes online?” Yang Ruoxi was filled with question marks, clueless about Niu Ming’s circumstances.

Chen Yang was not very clear about it either.

He hadn’t heard Uncle Niu mention that Niu Ming ran an internet café.

“Wait here for me, I’ll follow and take a look,” Chen Yang said to Yang Ruoxi, preparing to follow.

But before he could step away, Yang Ruoxi grabbed his arm.

“I’m coming with you.”

Chen Yang instinctively wanted to refuse, but seeing the ‘please’ look on her face, he relented.

So, the two of them entered the run-down front of the dark internet café together.

This ratty internet cafe, from the outside, didn’t look like much, and the environment inside was even dirtier and more chaotic.

In the pitch-black cafe, aside from the glow of the computer screens, there were only cigarette butts, one in everyone’s hand.

“Cough, cough.” As soon as Yang Ruoxi walked in, she was choked by the smoky air.

“What a strong smell of smoke,” Yang Ruoxi complained as she fanned the air in front of her with her hand.

“If you can’t stand it, wait for me outside.

I’ll be right out,” Chen Yang said with a smile upon seeing her reaction.

“No!

I want to go with you.” Although she couldn’t stand the air, she still very much wanted to go in with Chen Yang.

Chen Yang gave a helpless smile and said nothing more as he led her deeper into the internet cafe.

The dark environment of the cafe only just allowed one to make out the path on the ground and the objects nearby.

Chen Yang led Yang Ruoxi into the internet cafe without attracting anyone’s attention; they were all engrossed in watching their computer screens.

But that was just as well.

Chen Yang didn’t want anyone to notice him anyway.

As they reached the depths of the cafe, Chen Yang looked around once more, but strangely, he didn’t see Niu Ming.

Just as Chen Yang was puzzled, Yang Ruoxi shook his arm a few times and whispered, pointing in a direction, “Chen Yang, look over there.”

Chen Yang looked in the indicated direction and saw a room with its door ajar not far away.

Not seeing Niu Ming in the cafe, it was very likely that Niu Ming was inside that room.

With this in mind, Chen Yang then led Yang Ruoxi towards the room.

As they approached the room, they indeed heard Niu Ming’s voice from inside.

“Bro Ba, here’s the 120,000 yuan I owe you.

I brought it,” Niu Ming’s voice came through.

Upon hearing Niu Ming’s voice, Chen Yang paused for a moment, then quickly walked to the door of the room.

Through the crack of the partially open door, he glanced inside.

In the small room with a large mahogany desk, a round-faced, fierce-looking fat man was sprawled across it.

And Niu Ming, with full respect, was standing in front of the fat man, carefully placing a stack of money on the mahogany desk.

The fat man, who had been looking displeased a second ago, immediately beamed with joy at the sight of the money Niu Ming laid on the desk.

“Wow, you really have some skills, boy.

You actually brought the 120,000 yuan,” the fat man joyously sat up straight, taking the money to examine it closely.

As he scrutinized the money, Chen Yang outside the door also saw the stack of cash, of which 100,000 yuan was what he had just given Niu Ming.

Seeing this, Chen Yang frowned slightly, but didn’t think much of it.

He knew coming here that Niu Ming owed someone money, so it wasn’t surprising to him.

“Bro Ba, I brought you the money.

You count it yourself.

If there’s no problem, just give me back the IOU and I’ll be on my way,” Niu Ming said with a forced smile, speaking to the ecstatic Bro Ba.

At that moment, Bro Ba, still beaming with joy, was counting the money and wasn’t paying any attention to Niu Ming.

Seeing this, Niu Ming didn’t dare say much and just stood respectfully, waiting for Bro Ba to finish counting.

After about four or five minutes, Bro Ba, sitting inside the desk, finally raised his eyes to look at Niu Ming.

His smile was still faint, but it seemed different from the way he smiled at the money.

“Niu Ming, I’m afraid I can’t return this IOU to you,” Bro Ba said smilingly.

Niu Ming was taken aback and quickly asked, “Why not?”

“It’s simple,” Bro Ba lay back down, his face showing indifference as he continued, “All this money you gave me is fake, so naturally, I can’t return your IOU.”

“Fake currency?

How is that possible!

I checked carefully on the way here, it’s all real money, it can’t be fake,” Niu Ming suddenly became agitated, stepping forward to grab the money on the desk to look again.
