Reborn in the red age

On a train to Harbin, Li Qingfeng sat in the hard seat car with a solemn look on his face.

Sun Aidang and his three comrades sat on both sides to protect his safety at all times.

After calling back at noon, the person who answered was Zhang Yapeng's cousin.

He told Li Qingfeng that this morning, his cousin Zhang Yaping got off the train at Harbin Railway Station. When the two of them were driving home, their car was stopped on the street.

Zhang Yapeng was kidnapped in broad daylight. Before being forcibly taken into the car by the other party, Zhang Yapeng shouted a series of phone numbers, asking him to call the number immediately to save him.

That's how the phone call came about.

After Li Qingfeng hung up the phone, he slammed the table, his face looking so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

In broad daylight, under the noses of the investigation team, they dared to stop people and rob them. It is lawless, absolutely lawless.

He immediately called the investigation team in Harbin and asked them to find the person as soon as possible and protect his safety.

Li Qingfeng gave Hu Jiabao some instructions, asking her not to tell the news to Ma Wenhui, who was about to give birth. He then took Sun Aidang and a few others, bought the fastest train tickets, and headed straight for Harbin.

"Brother Li, don't worry too much. The investigation team is still there. They dare not do anything excessive. At most, they will threaten you and ask you not to talk nonsense." Sun Aidang saw that Li Qingfeng looked unhappy and spoke to comfort him.

Sun Aidang only mentioned one possibility, and did not mention another possibility, which is that a cornered dog will do something desperate.

Knowing that Sun Aidang meant well, Qingfeng Li nodded without commenting, but the worry on his face did not dissipate at all.

Rubbing his brows, Li Qingfeng now regretted deeply. If he had known they were so bold, he would have never let Zhang Yapeng go back no matter what.

Now, the person has been arrested, and we don’t know what the situation is over there.

Thinking of Ma Wenhui's big round belly, Li Qingfeng just felt a headache. The baby is going to be born in two months. As a father, Zhang Yapeng must not get into trouble, otherwise he will not be able to explain to Ma Wenhui.

This investigation team is also a bunch of useless people. When they arrived at the local area, they couldn't even control the situation. I don't know what they are for.

"Sir, can I trouble you?"

Just when Li Qingfeng was irritated and wanted to go to the toilet, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, who was sitting next to him, grabbed Li Qingfeng's arm.

Suppressing his irritability, Qingfeng Li forced a smile and said, "Comrade, what do you say?"

"It's like this, I'm from Chuncheng, my family has relatives in America, and they introduced me to a job in America. Two days ago, I received news from home that my son was seriously ill, so I rushed back from America."

The anxious middle-aged man paused here, as if waiting for Qingfeng Li to ask.

Li Qingfeng seemed to realize something and did not ask questions proactively, but waited for the other party to continue speaking.

Seeing that Li Qingfeng didn't ask, the middle-aged man had no choice but to pretend to be embarrassed and continued to talk to himself: "It's like this, I came back in a hurry and only brought back some US dollars. I will arrive in Chuncheng soon. My son's medical expenses are urgent. Do you think it would be convenient for you to change some money for me?"

"Change money?"

Li Qingfeng was silent for a moment, and then he probably understood this guy's trick, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Sure, big brother, how much do you want to change?"

Seeing the smile on Qingfeng Li's face, the middle-aged man was secretly delighted. It was worth it that he had been observing this guy for such a long time. He turned out to be another idiot who couldn't move when he heard about US dollars.

Judging from his clothes and watch, he seems to be a wealthy man and it seems that he is going to make a big profit today.

Hiding the joy in his eyes, the middle-aged man showed a surprised expression on his face. He stood up from the hard seat and tightly held Li Qingfeng's hands: "Thank you so much, comrade, thank you so much"

"It's okay. There are always difficulties when you are away from home. Just help each other." Li Qingfeng's face was filled with smiles, but no matter how you look at it, this smile seems very strange.

The middle-aged man, whose heart was filled with the thought of making a fortune, did not notice the strangeness in Qingfeng Li's expression, and hurriedly took money out of his bag.

The middle-aged man took out a small stack of ten-dollar U.S. dollars from his bag, looked at Li Qingfeng expectantly and said, "Comrade, this is the U.S. dollars I brought back from America. See how much you can exchange, I can give it to you."

"Let me count how much money you have in your hand."

The middle-aged man handed the banknotes in his hand to Li Qingfeng without any hesitation.

After taking the stack of US dollars from the other party, Li Qingfeng noticed that the texture of the paper was not right as soon as he touched it.

If you look closely, the printing is pretty good and looks quite authentic, which is enough to fool people who have never seen too much US dollars.

After counting the small stack of US dollars, there were a total of 1,100 US dollars. If it was real, it was indeed not a small sum of money.

After handing back the counted US dollars, Qingfeng Li pretended to be enthusiastic and said, "Comrade, how do you plan to change it?"

"The official exchange rate is 3.8 now, and the black market exchange rate is 1:8. I don't have time to go to the black market to exchange it." The middle-aged man paused, pretending to be hurt and said, "How about this, brothers, we are destined to be together, I will suffer a little loss and exchange it for you at a rate of 1:7."

“Yes, this exchange rate is suitable.”

The middle-aged man asked expectantly, "How much do you want to change?"

"All," Qingfeng Li said with a smile.

I’m rich, I’m very rich, this is the voice in the middle-aged man’s mind at this moment.

After all, he was a veteran in the scam business. His excitement was suppressed in an instant. He looked at Li Qingfeng suspiciously: "This is not a small amount of money. The train will arrive soon, and I am in a hurry to go to the hospital. Brother, do you have so much money on you?"

Li Qingfeng didn't say anything, but stretched his hand behind him. Sun Aidang, who had been paying attention to Li Qingfeng's movements, took out a stack of banknotes from his bag.

They were all blue 100-yuan bills issued last year in the 1980s, totaling 10,000 yuan.

Everyone in the carriage opened their eyes wide and stared at the stack of banknotes in Sun Aidang's hand.

The middle-aged man's eyes almost popped out when he saw the stack of banknotes.

Li Qingfeng took the stack of million-dollar bills, counted out thirty-three from it, and handed the remaining money to the other party with a smile.

"counting?"

"No, I trust my brother."

The middle-aged man calmed himself and handed the 1,100 fake US dollars in his hand to Li Qingfeng.

What kind of person is he? Qingfeng Li secretly complained in his heart, what a bullshit person, we just met a few minutes ago and we don’t even know each other’s names, how dare you say you trust my character?
The transaction was completed by both parties. At this moment, the middle-aged man felt regretful. He took too little counterfeit money this time and only earned more than 7,000 yuan. It was a loss, a huge loss!
This guy seems to be a stupid person with a lot of money. If he had taken more, he could have earned at least 20,000 or 30,000 this time. It's such a pity. Such a fool is rare.

Playing with more than a thousand counterfeit banknotes in his hand, Li Qingfeng asked with a smile: "Comrade, is the transaction between us completed?" "It's completed, thank you so much brother," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Although I helped you, you will definitely not thank me"

"???"

Just when the middle-aged man was still wondering what this meant, he saw Li Qingfeng waving his hand behind him, and the two strong men next to him pounced on him like tigers descending from the mountains.

Before the middle-aged man could react, the stack of bills in his hand, which was not even warm yet, was snatched away, and his head was pressed against the partition in the middle of the sofa.

The sudden situation caused chaos in the car, and those who reacted backed away from the center of the incident.

"No, what do you mean? Robbery?"

The middle-aged man, whose head was being pressed, let out an inarticulate growl.

"Robbery? Humph, you'll know in a minute." Li Qingfeng looked at the middle-aged man with disdain, and then said to Sun Aidang beside him: "Aidang, you should teach this kid a lesson. Beat him so hard that his mother can't recognize him."

"Okay, Brother Li, just wait and see."

Then, Li Qingfeng said to Wang Hu, "Wang Hu, go find the train police and tell them that someone was caught committing fraud in the carriage and was caught red-handed. Ask them to come quickly."

"Yes," Wang Hu said straightforwardly.

When the middle-aged man heard Li Qingfeng's conversation, he instantly understood the meaning of what Li Qingfeng had just said.

I felt so regretful in my heart. I thought I had met a big fool with a lot of money, but I didn't expect that he had already seen through my tricks and had been teasing me. I was still complacent and thought I could make a lot of money.

Just as he was about to struggle and beg for mercy, he was punched hard in the stomach and almost vomited the acid in his stomach.

After Wang Hu left, loud screams and wails were heard in the carriage.

"Love the Party, don't hit people in the face. Why did you beat him like a pig? The train police will come and question him later."

"Don't hit his stomach. What did he eat? His vomit smells terrible."

"Hiss~ You can't hit them there. If you hit those two little eggs, you'll become the last eunuch."

"Oh, how cruel, so cruel"

After seeing the middle-aged man being beaten to death by Sun Aidang, Li Qingfeng's irritability eased somewhat.

No wonder people always do some irrational things when they are upset, it turns out it really works.

Soon, Wang Hu and the flight attendant hurried over. When they saw the man lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, they were shocked and rushed forward to check on the man.

"No need to look, he's fine. I knew when to strike. The injuries on this guy look serious, but they are actually just superficial injuries. His bones and internal organs are fine. As for fainting, he was pretending," said Sun Aidang, who was moving his wrist, calmly without waiting for the conductor to check carefully.

The conductor glanced at Sun Aidang and did not believe his one-sided story. Instead, he carefully checked the middle-aged man's injuries.

As soon as the middle-aged man was turned over, his face swollen like a pig's head squinted his eyes and saw the uniform. He rolled over and got up from the ground, hiding behind the flight attendant.

The movement was so fast that it didn't look like he had just been abused.

"Please help me, police officers! They almost beat me to death just now. Look at the injuries on my body. I want to sue them and send them to jail."

"."

Qingfeng Li was amused by the middle-aged man's shamelessness and couldn't help but applaud.

The conductor frowned and said, "What is going on? Didn't someone say that someone is committing fraud? Why was he beaten like this? Can someone explain this to me?"

"Let me do it"

Li Qingfeng stepped forward and recounted exactly what had happened.

After hearing the details, the conductor looked back at the middle-aged man whose head was swollen like a pig. The man smiled awkwardly, and the movement of the corners of his mouth affected the wound on his face, causing him to grimace in pain.

After a little relief, the middle-aged man who was still trying to struggle hurriedly defended himself: "Comrade Public Security, don't listen to him, my dollars are all real."

Ignoring the middle-aged man, the police officer took the 1,100-yuan bill, examined it carefully, and asked Li Qingfeng curiously, "Comrade, this dollar is fake. How did you know?"

"It's very simple. People who often use US dollars can easily tell the real from the fake," Li Qingfeng shrugged and said easily.

The middle-aged man hiding in the back immediately jumped out and said, "You are talking nonsense. My US dollars are obviously real. Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? Do you often use US dollars?"

Sun Aidang, who was standing next to him, saw that the other party dared to show his teeth to Li Qingfeng, and glared at him viciously, scaring the middle-aged man so much that he shrank his head back again.

The flight attendant who couldn't tell the difference between US dollars also had the same idea. He glanced at Li Qingfeng and motioned him to produce evidence.

Li Qingfeng shrugged, took out his work ID and a real ten-dollar bill from his pocket, handed it over, and explained: "When I was in school, I went to the United States as a government-sponsored student to study for two years. During those two years in the United States, I only came into contact with US dollars."

"After graduating and returning to China, I worked part-time as a researcher in a Hong Kong-funded research institute in my company. The Hong Kong company paid me in Hong Kong dollars, and I often had to go abroad to study the latest international technologies, where I could also come into contact with U.S. dollars. So, as soon as I got my hands on the other party's money, I knew it was counterfeit."

As soon as these words came out, many people in the carriage looked at Qingfeng Li with admiration.

Ordinary people still respect scholars and knowledge. With Li Qingfeng's resume, he is definitely a high-end talent in this era and is respected by ordinary people.

"Hello, Mr. Li, hello. I never thought that a great scholar like you would be on our train."

After seeing Li Qingfeng's work ID, the conductor quickly put away his suspicious look, bent down enthusiastically and shook hands with Li Qingfeng, with a very humble attitude.

"Hello to you too, comrade. You are very competent and a good public security officer. With you on the train, the safety of us passengers is guaranteed." The other party praised him, and Li Qingfeng smiled and praised him back.

"No, no, Mr. Li, you are too kind. I am still far from being as good as you."

The pighead next to them, listening to the conversation between the two, was completely broken-hearted.

Damn it, such a highly educated person not only uses stinging enforcement, but also allows people to torture him to death.

Isn't it said that highly educated people are of high quality? How did this happen? Is it a loophole in high-quality education? (End of this chapter)
