As the man spoke, he actually knelt down in front of his daughter, crying but unwilling to let go.

"Help you? How many times have I helped you? Every time I help you pay back the money, you go gambling again. Do you know how many people will sleep with me every time? Get out of here!"

When the girl spoke, she was already gritting her teeth.

Gu Jianuo grabbed Xu Le and opened his mouth, but Xu Le had already spoken in advance:

"Don't ask, it's probably what you think."

"People here... don't go to work? It's okay to run a small business."

"Work? Do business? You come with me."

Xu Le took Gu Jianuo to the door of an unknown food stall.

"Boss, here are two bowls of noodles."

"Okay, 1 cent."

When he heard 10 cents, Gu Jianuo frowned and said nothing.

But when she saw that Xu Le only gave 1 cent but took two bowls, she finally couldn't help it.

"Why did you just give me 1 cent?"

"Because a bowl of noodles costs 5 cents, what's wrong?"

"A bowl of noodles only costs 5 cents? I understand."

Xu Le was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect Gu Jianuo to ask about this matter, and it wasn't his arrangement in advance, but it seemed that the 10 cents had quite an impact on Gu Jianuo.

Moreover, the matter is not over yet.

They had just gotten the noodles and before they had a chance to eat, two gangsters with shirtless bodies and tattoos all over their bodies walked up to the stall.

"Old man Wu's business is good, should he pay the management fee?"

"Didn't I hand it over last time..."

"Last time, the last time was in August, and now it's September. Are you old and confused?"

As the man spoke, he grabbed the stall owner's hair.

Another person turned the money box of the stall owner Lao Wu upside down, took out all the money, and threw it on the ground.

"Okay, this is from early September. Let's go, Old Man Wu."

Gu Jianuo wanted to say something, but Xu Le was afraid that she would run away and stopped her in advance.

She looked at the stall owner, Old Wu, who quickly waved his hand:

"You go away, I can't afford to treat rich people like you."

Gu Jianuo was a little angry, but mostly speechless and powerless. She took a deep breath and looked at Xu Le:

"What is this?"

"Now you know why you don't do business? Every place has its own rules."

"Is the rule in Xiacheng District to form a gang and bully ordinary people?"

Xu Le suddenly laughed out loud:

"What are the rules in the lower city? Hey, hey."

"why are you laughing?"

"If a person from Xiacheng District forms a gang here, several other gangs will join forces to destroy them the next day. Do you understand?"

Gu Jianuo looked at Xu Le, her eyes flashing. After a while, she lowered her head.

Seeing that it was almost done, Xu Le patted her shoulder.

"Let's go. Didn't you say that we are going to find the subject of the experiment? This is business."

Gu Jianuo understood that business was more important. After all, the experiment was Shangcheng District's task...

Yes, is this a mission? Or is it her ideal?

"The mission in Uptown... Damn it, let's go."

…

The two of them walked to a health clinic in Xiacheng District, where a lot of medical waste was piled up.

But even these medical wastes are always looted by a bunch of people every time they are thrown out.

"What are they doing grabbing all this garbage?"

"Garbage is what you define. In their eyes, these things are money and food, especially the leftover glucose water."

Gu Jianuo wanted to ask how could that kind of medical waste be used in this way?

But when she saw a man who picked up the bottle, pulled off the needle, took two sips, and then started sucking it with joy, she was speechless.

"He...forget it."

In the face of reality, any rhetoric will be weak.

There were many people surrounding the health center.

Most of them are drinking water. Drinking more water will dilute the blood and reduce the burden on the body. This is a very common method.

After a while, a female health worker in pink clothes came out and shouted to the crowded crowd:

"Okay, now let's collect a wave of blood here and raise your hands if you come up with something."

"me!"

"I, you see, I am strong, so I will be fine."

"Sister, don't look at me because I'm thin, I'm sure there's nothing wrong with me."

This group of people crowded and pushed each other at the entrance of the health center.

But the female health worker said again:

"You trash guys are really worthless. I haven't finished my words yet. Half price."

After she said half the price, the excited crowd immediately calmed down, but some people still walked up.

"Selling it at half the price."

Gu Jianuo, who was standing next to Xu Le, frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask:

“What do you mean half price?”

"The blood is collected at half the price, and the nurses and people at the health center get kickbacks."

"How does this work?"

"Why not? This is the outskirts of Xiacheng District. If they had any choice, they wouldn't come here."

Gu Jianuo was a little angry, but the target of her anger was not others, but Xu Le in front of her.

"Xu Le, why do you always talk about Xiacheng District? What happened to Xiacheng District?"

"Ms. Gu, do you think... I am targeting Xiacheng District?"

Xu Le said, licking his lips in the direction of the health center.

Just in time, Gu Jianuo saw the man who looked strong but was actually pale, stuffing 50 cents into the female hygienist's hand.

"Why should I sell my blood and give money to the person who buys it?"

Gu Jianuo felt a little tight in her chest, and she squatted on the ground for a while.

"Sorry, that was my question just now."

Xu Le's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said something that seemed to be comforting.

"It's okay. You're not used to it either. You'll get used to it in the future."

You'll get used to it, these words... Gu Jiano felt it was too harsh, but she had no way to refute it.

It's like there are a few thorns in my heart, not very deep thorns, but they are there.

"A lot of people have gathered to collect blood. Let me go and ask."

A crowd of blood sellers gathered not far away, each still arguing about the matter of collecting blood just now.

"Collecting blood at half price, you are really a fool to sell it. You have lost your life after doing it several times."

"Indeed, I don't know the principle of long-lasting water."

"That's not what you said. There's nothing you can do if you're extremely hungry."

Xu Le walked around these people. Because he was well-dressed, these people had already guessed that he was not from Xiacheng District, at least not from the periphery.

"There are quite a lot of people, so listen up. I'm only going to say this once. Now Beacon University has a life science research project.

The project includes clinical experiments on human subjects, and now we need a group of volunteers to carry out it. If you are interested, you can come and talk."

"Human experiments?"
