Chapter 1069: My Wife Eloped with Someone
And why would they appear in the desert?
“Why is wealth here provided by ‘bad guys’?”
The youth said, “Every June, a group of people will come to our town. They are very fierce, and they come with guns, the kind that could really kill. They get all the young and strong men to work in the desert. The returns are very high. Sometimes people would die too, but the compensation for it is very high. Usually, it would be a miracle if my parents earned 100 USD after working for one day.”
Ye Ling’s expression did not change. He asked, “What kind of work do they do in the desert?”
“I don’t know. My parents said that we cannot tell anyone. The people there are really fierce. If we let our mouths run around, we would lose both our money and lives. So, do not enter the desert. It’s really dangerous there.”
Ye Ling said, “My friend’s gold is in the desert, so I have to go.”
“You can’t. You are a stranger. You are not a local here. Someone is guarding the desert. If you aren’t a local, they will shoot you. You won’t be able to enter. Give up.”
Ye Ling seemed to be thinking deeply.
The young man was indeed very naive and innocent. He raised his hands and said, “Don’t tell them I told you.”
“I won’t!” Ye Ling said. He looked at the young man and said, “You’re interesting.”
“So will you teach me some basketball skills?”
“Do you want to earn some money?”
The young man nodded. Who doesn’t want money?
Ye Ling said, “Bring me to the desert. I’ll pay you any amount.”
“Pfft. You’re a random nobody who’s looking for gold. What are you boasting about? Where would you have the money?” The young man did not take him seriously at all, and he even looked a little angry and suspicious of him.
“Idiot!” Ye Ling yelled.
He paused and took out a watch. “This watch costs 2,000,000 USD. If you bring me to the desert to look for my gold, this watch is yours.”
“This is from IWC Schaffhausen!” The young man looked at the watch excitedly. He wanted to touch it, but he was afraid of breaking it. “I’ve seen it on TV before! I’ve seen it on TV before! It’s not counterfeit, is it?”
Ye Ling said, “It’s genuine. I can give you as many of this type of watches as you want.”
The young man thought a bit and felt that something was weird. “Aren’t you broke? Where did you get that watch?”
It turned out that the young man was not as naive as Ye Ling had thought.
Ye Ling said, “Stolen.”
“... ” Mu Yuan was astonished.
Ah Ling, it must have been hard on you... How patient you are.
The youth was very hesitant. He wanted the watch, but he was also very worried. “You’re really going to go for the gold?”
“Yes!”
“Fine. Then you have to promise not to wander around. I will only bring one person, and that’s you. Do not get me into trouble.”
“Yes!”
“Give me the watch!” The young man reached his arm out.
Ye Ling handed the watch to him casually. The young man put the watch on gleefully. The color of the watch was really beautiful and compatible with his skin tone. It looked really nice on him, and he was really elated.
“When are we going to the desert?”
“It’s really late now. Tomorrow morning,” the youth said. “People are working there now, so I can go and send my parents some food.”
“Great!” Ye Ling said. “It’s a deal then!”
I hope that sacrificing the watch will be worth it.
The youth went home gleefully.
Ye Ling returned to the hotel.
It was really silent in the hotel. Ye Ling lay down in bed. Mu Yuan had entered the town too. He did not incur any disruptions. He disguised himself as a blonde youth with blue eyes who was here to take photos of the scenery. He looked like a photographer who took very professional photos.
The young man spoke fluent American English and took photos all around the streets. Occasionally, people stopped him, but he never got mad. He left very quickly and did not cause any conflicts.
