Chapter 46: So this is how the King of Speed ​​is used

“Senior, my name is Ding Zhifeng, what’s your name?”

“Su Rui.”

Su Rui had no intention of hiding it. Firstly, Ding Zhifeng didn’t know him, so even if he told him his name, it wouldn’t have much impact.

In addition, telling the real name would seem much more natural and increase Ding Zhifeng’s trust.

There is still a difference between a pseudonym and a real name.

Not to mention other things, he had to hesitate when thinking of a pseudonym. Since he didn’t know Ding Zhifeng well, Su Rui was not sure whether the brief hesitation would arouse the other party’s suspicion.

So, at this time, the best way is not to take risks.

“Senior, do you have a place to stay when you come to Ningcheng?”

“If not, my brother still has a bed available.”

Having seen Su Rui’s skills, Ding Zhifeng seemed very enthusiastic, calling him “senior” left and right. If you didn’t know, you would think he was filming some martial arts TV series.

“Brother?” Su Rui frowned.

“It’s not a kiss.”

Ding Zhifeng explained: “He is also a friend in the underworld, but my brother’s status in the thieves is much higher than mine. I am at most self-taught, but my brother is different. He has inherited the skills, and his skills are much higher than mine. He made a fortune with this skill in just a few years.”

“Maybe not as good as my predecessor, but I don’t think it will be much worse.”

“Moreover, in this Thief God Selection Conference, my brother was able to directly enter the top eight, unlike the others who had to go through many trials and tribulations before they could even reach the top eight.”

Hearing this, even Su Rui was a little frightened. Getting rich by relying on this skill in just a few years was not just petty theft, but at the level of a big thief.

To put it bluntly, if you are caught, you will be detained for at least five years, or even ten years.

Su Rui had learned about thieves because of his profession.

Dao Men is the largest sect among the Eight Great Sects.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the leader of Qimen.

As the old saying goes, at thirty-six pounds, the thief is king. Many businesses in the world that require no capital are classified as thieves.

Whether it is a flying thief or a gangster who roams through thousands of households, or a bandit who occupies a place and raises a flag, or even a tomb raider who digs graves in the wilderness, they are all considered thieves.

In ancient times, thieves were divided into red, black and white.

The so-called red thieves are those who specialize in stealing gold, silver and treasures from wealthy families in order to rob the rich and help the poor.

The underworld refers to those who specialize in robbing the ill-gotten gains of bandits, bullies and thugs, and those who enforce justice on the side of heaven. This type of thieves are also called righteous thieves.

The white way refers to those tomb robbers who touch gold and rob tombs, commonly known as “tufuzi”. The famous founder of the Mojin School, Cao Cao, the founder of the Fachio School, Wu Zixu, the founder of the Yuling School, Xiang Yu, and the outstanding disciple of the Banshan School, Sun Dianying, also belong to this category.

According to legend, this sect of thieves is one of the most secretive sects in China, immersed in the underworld and above the world. It has many sects, and each sect worships a different ancestor.

The only one worth mentioning is the Kongkong Sect in the Tang Dynasty, which unified all the branches of the Daomen Sect and formed the largest force among the Eight Sects.

However, after the Ming Dynasty, the thieves split again, forming two forces in the north and the south.

The chicken-crowing and dog-thieves we are all familiar with, who were the guests of Lord Mengchang in those days, were indeed from a family of thieves. Later, there was Shi Qian, a master in the Water Margin, who also belonged to this family of thieves.

But what Su Rui didn’t expect was that such an organization still exists in modern society.

Among the eight strange gates among the people, perhaps only the Taomen Gate has survived to this day.

Others, even if they existed, could not be preserved so completely.

Retracting his thoughts, Su Rui glanced at Ding Zhifeng and said lightly: “To be able to enter the quarterfinals directly, it seems that you really have some skills.”

“Not as good as the senior.” Ding Zhifeng said: “With the senior’s ability, I’m afraid he would have made it straight to the quarterfinals, right?”

Straight into the quarterfinals?

I don’t even know about the Thief God Selection Conference.

Su Rui complained in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face: “As for me, I only learned a lot in the past two years. I was kicked out by my master. I have never participated in any Thief God Selection Conference before.”

Ding Zhifeng suddenly realized, “No wonder I have never heard of your name, but you should be participating in the selection of the God of Thieves this time, right? With your ability, if you can’t become the new God of Thieves of our sect, you will definitely have no problem getting into the top three.”

“me?”

Su Rui shook his head and smiled: “I’m not as powerful as you say. At most, I’m just a little bit stronger than you. The reason I was able to take the things from you is because you didn’t feel that I was a threat to you at the beginning, and all your attention was on my trouser pocket, so I was able to get the things easily.”

Ding Zhifeng didn’t think so: “Senior, being modest is a good thing, but you are being too modest!”

“Speaking of which, you can easily take away the money and cell phone hidden in my pocket without even using a blade. I am really envious of you.”

“My brother doesn’t even have your ability.”

After saying that, he looked at Su Rui eagerly.

This statement has been made very clear, it’s just a matter of kowtowing and becoming a disciple.

However, the situation of learning thieves was different from what it is now.

It is rare to find someone like Ding Zhifeng who takes the initiative to become a disciple and learn skills.

Every sect in the martial arts world has its own rules, and the rules of the Thieves’ Sect are the most peculiar.

Let’s say a thief becomes an apprentice and learns his skills.

In general martial arts schools, apprentices look for masters to learn skills, but the Daomen is very special, in that they have masters looking for apprentices.

There is a saying in the old society: I would rather die in injustice than file a complaint, and I would rather die in poverty than become a thief.

No one in a good family wants to send their child to become a thief.

Children from poor families cannot even afford food and clothing, there are many children, and parents have no energy to take care of them, which gives thieves opportunities.

They would slowly approach the child, and after getting familiar with him, they would take him to a restaurant. After eating and drinking, they would either listen to books or watch a play. It was simply a life like heaven.

After a while, the thief ignored the child. The child was not used to it and asked the thief: “Why don’t you take me out to play?”

The thief said, “You are old enough now, you should learn a skill.”

The child asked: “What craft do you want to learn?”

The thief said, “Want to eat out every day?”

The child nodded.

The thief said, “Well, uncle will teach you a skill that can be used in restaurants every day. Are you willing?”

Thus, the disciple was successfully recruited.

It can be said that in the thief business, it is basically the master who looks for the apprentice, and there is no apprentice who looks for the master.

No one wants to be a thief, especially now, when as long as you have all the necessary hands and feet and are diligent, you can do anything without starving to death. No one wants to be a thief.

To put it bluntly, begging is happier than being a thief.

No matter how you look at it, stealing is an illegal act. Once you are caught, you will inevitably go to jail. Even if the circumstances are minor, you will still be detained for a period of time.

With a criminal record, it is not only difficult to move forward in society, but it is also difficult to find a job.

Moreover, once something is stolen, the police will probably be the first to come to your door, and you will not be able to hide even if you want to.

But begging is different. If you have good acting skills, it is not impossible to get rich by doing this.

Of course, this is a scam.

But there is no way to make a judgment based on this.

“Well, senior…”

Seeing that Su Rui didn’t say anything, Ding Zhifeng rubbed his hands, feeling embarrassed.

People in his line of work pay the most attention to techniques and skills. A great skill may make him famous in the industry, or even make him rich.

But since Su Rui didn’t say anything, he was too embarrassed to mention it.

As the saying goes, teaching a disciple will starve the master, so it is normal that people are unwilling to teach such skills.

Su Rui glanced at him and said, “We’ll talk about the technique later. Let’s talk about other things first. I’ve heard of the Thief God Selection Conference, but I don’t know how to participate? Where to participate? Tell me all this. After the Thief God Selection Conference is over, I will teach you this skill.”

“Really?” Ding Zhifeng’s face was full of surprise.

Su Rui shrugged: “It’s not some amazing skill, how can I deceive you?”

“Thank you, senior. Thank you, senior.” Ding Zhifeng bowed and expressed his gratitude.

After a while, Ding Zhifeng walked up to Su Rui and asked, “Where do you live, senior?”

“me!”

“I just arrived yesterday and am staying in a nearby hotel. What’s wrong?” Su Rui said without blushing.

Ding Zhifeng immediately said, “What hotel? Senior, why don’t you stay at my brother’s place? He knows more about the Thief God Selection Conference than I do, and he knows it better than me. I can ask him to take you there when the time comes.”

Su Rui pondered for a moment and said, “Okay, then I’ll follow your arrangements.”

“Don’t worry, senior. I will make sure you are satisfied with the arrangement.” Ding Zhifeng immediately patted his chest and said. The two chatted for a while and added each other as friends. Su Rui used the excuse of staying one more night and going to the brother Ding Zhifeng mentioned tomorrow. Before leaving, Ding Zhifeng hesitated and said, “Senior, can you return those things to me?”

“what?”

Su Rui was stunned for a moment.

“It’s the cell phone and the cash.”

Su Rui reacted and took out his phone and cash: “You said this! Don’t worry, I will give it to you, but not now. I will teach you how to do it later. You can try to take it back without me noticing.”

Ding Zhifeng was originally quite unhappy. After all, the two mobile phones plus the cash amounted to several thousand yuan. How could he be willing to just give it away like that?

But when he heard Su Rui’s words, he suddenly felt relieved.

I think with Su Rui’s ability, he probably wouldn’t look down on those sneaky things he did.

Ding Zhifeng even thought that if he had that skill, he could steal tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands in five or six hours.

If you go to a crowded place, an hour may be enough.

“Then leave it there for a while, senior. When the time comes, give me the address and I’ll pick you up.”

After Su Rui and Ding Zhifeng agreed on a time, they parted ways.

Although I didn’t run that night, I still gained a lot.

At the God of Thieves Selection Conference, if we can catch all of them in one fell swoop, it would be a great achievement!

However, Su Rui was not in a hurry to tell Xia Jie about this. He planned to go to the so-called selection meeting first and then call the police when the time comes. He would try to catch them all in one fell swoop and eliminate a group of cancer for the society.

A petty thief like Ding Zhifeng could steal items worth thousands of dollars in one night, not to mention those who are qualified to participate in the Thief God Selection Competition.

Ding Zhifeng was not joking when he said he could make a fortune with this craft.

At least Su Rui felt that if he really wanted to do it, giving him a year, regardless of how much wealth he could make, it would not be difficult for him to achieve financial freedom.

He is still very confident in his skill of Empty Hands.

After returning home, Su Rui packed a suitcase for himself.

Since you are going, you have to act more realistically and not let others see any flaws.

The next morning, Su Rui arrived at the door of a nearby star-rated hotel early to wait for Ding Zhifeng to pick him up.

After waiting for almost an hour, Su Rui looked at the time and couldn’t help frowning: “It’s almost twenty minutes past the agreed time. Could that guy have discovered something?”

“It shouldn’t be!”

Su Rui looked around and saw that there was still no car coming. He suddenly felt that he might have underestimated Ding Zhifeng.

Although Ding Zhifeng is not as good as him in stealing skills, he has been hanging out with all kinds of people for many years, so he has some ability to judge people. It is normal for him to find something from them.

Su Rui shook his head and prepared to go back with his suitcase to call Li Anmin. As the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Beijiang Branch, if the Thief God Conference was held in Ningcheng, Li Anmin would not be completely unaware of it.

Just as he was pulling the suitcase and about to leave, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from the end of the road.

Su Rui subconsciously turned his head to take a look. After a while, a small car braked to a stop in front of him. Ding Zhifeng lowered the window and shouted loudly: “Senior, hurry up, get in the car.”

“What’s wrong?” Su Rui looked at Ding Zhifeng, who was sweating profusely, with a puzzled look on his face.

“Get in the car first, I’ll explain later.”

Seeing Ding Zhifeng’s anxious face, Su Rui no longer hesitated. He threw the suitcase directly on the back seat and sat in the passenger seat.

Before Su Rui could sit down firmly or even fasten his seat belt, two police cars came roaring towards him with sirens blaring at the corner where Ding Zhifeng appeared.

“grass!”

“These notes come really fast.”

Ding Zhifeng complained a few words, then stepped on the accelerator and accelerated rapidly.

“What’s going on?” Su Rui pointed at the police car chasing after him with a dark face.

Ding Zhifeng turned around and smiled awkwardly: “Isn’t there no car to pick you up? I went to a nearby parking lot this morning and stole one, but I didn’t expect to be seen by the owner.”

Su Rui understood.

This is a stolen car that has been discovered.

“You know a lot, you can even steal a car.” Su Rui scolded with a smile.

Ding Zhifeng immediately raised his head like a victorious rooster: “No, in our line of work, we have to know a little bit about everything. But I don’t steal cars often. This thing is useless if stolen. It’s hard to sell and it’s easy to have problems. It’s not as safe as stealing other things.”

Su Rui nodded without comment.

After all, it is a large item, costing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars. Once the owner calls the police, it will be a problem where to hide the car. In addition, there are surveillance cameras everywhere now, so it is wishful thinking to want to escape with a car.

As the two were chatting, Su Rui heard the sirens behind him getting louder and louder. Turning back, he saw that the police car was less than twenty meters away from their car.

“The police car is following us.” Su Rui reminded.

“I know, but it’s almost rush hour, and no matter how good my car is, it won’t run!” Ding Zhifeng also looked depressed.

“You shouldn’t have come to pick me up. Run away first!”

“I want to, too! But didn’t I promise you yesterday? Now I’m standing you up!”

To be honest, Su Rui was a little touched.

“Senior, I’m not bragging to you. If there weren’t so many cars on the road, the police? The police can’t even see my taillights.”

Su Rui just glanced at the police car that was getting closer and closer, and stared at him with suspicion. Are you sure you are not bragging?

Ding Zhifeng was so embarrassed that he couldn’t speak.

“You’d better think of a way to escape. I don’t want to be caught with you, otherwise I won’t be able to explain myself.” Su Rui said quietly.

Ding Zhifeng rolled his eyes, pointed at the corner not far away while driving and said, “Senior, let’s stop the car and run separately. If we drive, we will be stopped and won’t be able to run away even if we want to.”

Su Rui looked back and asked, get out of the car and run?
I’m afraid I can’t run away even if I get off the car.

He didn’t want to be caught, otherwise he would have to explain everything to Xia Jie later.

The most important thing is that Ding Zhifeng cannot be caught!
Whether he can participate in the Thief God Selection Conference depends on Ding Zhifeng.

At this time, Ding Zhifeng also glanced at the rearview mirror and the police car in the next lane ahead, and said dejectedly: “Senior, I’m afraid we can’t escape. I’m sorry for getting you into trouble.”

“Unbuckle your seatbelts, you come over here, I’ll go over there.”

“what?”

“What? Come here quickly, let me drive. I don’t want to be taken back to the police station.” Su Rui urged.

Although Ding Zhifeng didn’t know what Su Rui wanted to do, since things had come to this point, he could only do as Su Rui said. The two of them took more than ten seconds to switch between the driver and co-pilot seats.

After arriving at the main driver’s seat, Su Rui quickly fastened his seat belt, turned to Ding Zhifeng and said, “Fasten your seat belts and sit tight. Aren’t they just a few police cars?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take you away.”

Ding Zhifeng: “…”

How can I escape from this?

There are almost four or five police cars and more than a dozen policemen. Even if they abandon the car and run away, they will be caught up in no time.

Besides, it’s already rush hour, no matter how good a driver you are you can’t escape!

If you continue driving, there will be more and more cars in front of you and you won’t have a chance to run a red light.

“Senior, why don’t we just give up!”

“As the saying goes, leniency to those who confess and severity to those who resist. I just stole a car and didn’t damage it. They can’t find out anything else. The most they can do is detain me for a while.”

Ding Zhifeng said calmly: “You didn’t participate in it. If you explain it clearly, the police shouldn’t make it difficult for you. If you really want to resist, it will be difficult to explain if you get caught later.”

“Hold on tight. If you get caught, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Su Rui steered the car to closely follow the vehicle in front, turned back to look at the rapidly approaching police car, and gave instructions.

“what?”

“I…I’m sitting!”

Ding Zhifeng was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Su Rui with some emotion. What a good senior!
He hadn’t done anything wrong, but in order to prevent him from being caught by the police, he still insisted on standing with him. This kind of loyalty is rare in their industry.

However, Ding Zhifeng glanced at the traffic density in front. In this situation, being able to drive at a speed of 50 or 60 is already pretty good. Although his skills are not as good as those of a racing driver, they are not bad either.

Could it be that Su Rui could drive even faster?
But before he could ask more questions, Su Rui stepped on the accelerator deeply and turned the steering wheel in his hands. The car that was originally moving straight instantly completed a drift and U-turn, directly misaligned with the two police cars that were flanking it.

The tires made a harsh friction sound against the ground and the engine roared. At this moment, the car in Su Rui’s hand was like an arrow shot out and quickly distanced itself from the two police cars.

The extreme feeling of being pushed on the back made Su Rui suddenly realize.

It turns out that the King of Speed ​​was used at this time.
