Chapter 17 Joining Invitation and Tasks

"Ring Ling Ling…"

　　Lu Qi, who was tightly wrapped by the quilt, stretched out his hand from the quilt and groped around on the bed, trying to find the culprit who disturbed his sleep.

　　After a carpet-like search, he still found his newly bought iFruit mobile phone at the corner of the bed.

　　With a light swipe on the phone screen, put the phone to his ear, Lu Qi said in a lazy tone:

　　"Hey~~"

　　"It's nine o'clock, and you're still in bed..."

　　Listening to the male voice on the other end of the phone, the hangover's head was a little dazed, so much so that Lu Qi couldn't help but ask back:

　　"Who are you?"

　　Hearing this, Michael on the other end of the phone couldn't help but paused for a while before saying helplessly:

　　"I'm Michael. I'm in the cafe around the corner of the bar. I want to talk to you about something."

　　"Oh, well, wait for me, I'll wash my face first..."

　　After hanging up the phone, Lu Qi struggled to get up from the bed with the strength of breastfeeding.

　　"Um...a hangover is really uncomfortable..."

　　Resisting the discomfort of a hangover, Lu Qi left the bedroom and walked to the bathroom.

　　Turning on the faucet, holding up the icy cold water, and patting lightly on his face, this made Lu Qi awake a little.

　　When he came to the living room and saw Franklin still sleeping soundly on the sofa, Lu Qi thought about it and left the apartment without waking him up.

　　When Lu Qi came to the cafe, he saw Michael wearing a pair of sunglasses, sitting on the table outside the cafe and waving at him.

　　"Sit down, have something to drink?"

　　"Bring me a cup of black coffee."

　　After the waiter walked away, Michael took off his sunglasses, looked up and down at Lu Qi, and asked with great interest:

　　"Drinking?"

　　Since I didn't take a shower last night, I just washed it casually and changed a set of clothes. The faint smell of alcohol still lingers on Lu Qi's body.

　　Lu Qi didn't care after being punctuated by Michael, and shrugged, "I had a drink with Xiao Fu last night, and he was not in a good mood."

　　"Well, so..."

　　After pondering for a moment, Michael continued:

　　"Then you should listen to Franklin. I demolished some Mexican hooligan's house, and now I need some money?"

　　"Well, he told me. More than two million, not a small amount. What are you going to do?"

　　"That's why I'm looking for you."

　　While talking, Michael took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one for himself, "That's it, I'm going to form a team to do a single transaction to fill this hole."

　　"I came here just to ask you if you want to join."

　　After all, Michael looked at Lu Qi quietly, as if waiting for his reply.

　　In the smoke, Lu Qi couldn't see the expression on Michael's face.

　　Lu Qi wasn't too surprised that Michael would find him to join the team.

　　After all, there is such a helper who can fight and show loyalty, and it is impossible for Michael to turn a blind eye.

　　Although he had already promised Michael in his heart, Lu Qi still frowned and lowered his head in thought.

　　Seeing Lu Qi's appearance, Mai Keke was unwilling for him, so he squeezed out the cigarette on his finger and said sincerely:

　　"Listen, boy... Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I think you are a very trustworthy guy. That's why I came to you. I need some teammates who are willing to entrust my back to him."

　　"Alix, you are very smart and know how to advance and retreat. I believe you can make a big difference. Besides, you are still young and shouldn't waste your time in that little bar."

　　"Of course, if you don't want to get involved in all this trouble, I can understand..."

　　As a former notorious bank robber, Michael, who has seen strong winds and waves, is also a person.

　　This can be seen from his different attitudes towards Franklin and Lu Qi, his style of doing things.

　　The reason why Michael didn't ask Franklin if he wanted to join the team was because Franklin had shown his willingness to mess with him before.

　　Michael, for Franklin, is the object to please. To a certain extent, Michael has regarded Xiao Fu as his apprentice.

　　However, Lu Qi was different.

　　Compared with Franklin, Lu Qi's abilities in all aspects are more prominent.

　　The relationship between Michael and Lu Qi is more like a relatively equal relationship.

　　That's why Michael came to Lu Qi specially, explained the situation, and asked him if he wanted to join, instead of directly counting him in the list of this operation.

　　And Lu Qi really felt his attention.

　　Seemingly moved by Michael's words, Lu Qi slowly raised his head, met Michael's slightly expectant eyes, and said solemnly:

　　"Since you believe me, then I have nothing to say, count me in!"

　　Hearing this answer, Michael couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief as if he was relieved for some reason.

　　perhaps,

In his eyes, Lu Qi, a young man, will play a big role in this action...

　　"Well, Franklin will also join this operation. The details, my brother Lester, will explain to you."

　　"Here's his phone..."

　　Leaving the phone with Lu Qi, Michael put on his sunglasses again and stood up:

　　"I'll discuss the details of the action with him later. We'll see you there."

　　"see you then."

　　After saying goodbye to Michael, Lu Qi went to a nearby convenient restaurant and bought two breakfasts before returning to the apartment.

　　After kicking up Franklin who was still sleeping, Lu Qi looked at the black buddy with a confused look, and said with some disgust:

　　"Hey, alcoholic, get up quickly! Go home after breakfast, you stink to death..."

　　What responded to Lu Qi was a raised middle finger.

　　. . . . . .

　　After sending Franklin away, Lu Qi also started a day of practice.

　　"Da da da!"

　　A few hours later, Lu Qi, who was only wearing a short sleeve and sweating profusely, finally received a call from Lester:

　　"Hello? Is that Alex?"

　　"it's me."

　　Lester didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point:

　　"Listen, in this operation, everyone has a role to play. And all you have to do is..."

　　On the phone, Lester did not tell Lu Qi all the details of the whole plan, but simply explained his mission.

　　In this regard, Lu Qi did not have much opinion.

　　Not disclosing all information is a basic principle of planning covert operations.

　　After all, the less people know about it, the lower the chances of an action leaking.

　　What's more, this was a criminal act of planning a robbery. Even if Michael vouched for Lu Qi, Lester, who had never met him, would definitely not trust him.

　　This is normal.

　　It was the task that Lester gave him that made Lu Qi a little concerned.

　　After hanging up the phone, Lu Qi's face couldn't help showing a trace of understanding:

　　"Hypnosis gas...?"
