Chapter 45. New Clue
Chapter: 6881 Words
The young woman looked at them and did not dare to say anything. "Don't worry, no one will disturb your normal business," said Jin to the middle-aged woman.”The middle-aged woman looked at Jin in disbelief. She didn't believe that a young man had such ability. She seemed to be afraid of the "Fourth Master Saber" that the woman had mentioned.
Jin turned around again and said to the young woman,""Remember what I said to you today, or you won't have a good ending.”The woman was so scared that she hurriedly ran out of the cafe with her bag.
Many people in the cafe were talking about Jin's origins. Some were talking about Jin's courage, some were talking about Jin's enthusiasm, and some were talking about Jin's fate after provoking the woman of Lord Saber. I picked up my coffee and took a sip. Would I have another thing to do next?
Xiao Zhi was supported by Xiao Dai. He had just taken a few steps when Xiao Zhi turned around and walked to Jin."Thank you." "It's nothing. If you need anything in the future, I'll do my best to help you.”Xiao Zhi looked around and whispered a few words into Jin's ear. Jin nodded and Xiao Dai helped Xiao Zhi out of the cafe.
Ember quickly returned to his seat and said to Rosin Lotus and me,""There's a change in plans." The two of us were stunned. Rosin Lotus asked,"Do you want to start with this Fourth Master Saber?”Ember nodded. I guessed what Ember meant."Lord Saber Four" was very likely a small leader with some power and appeal. We could start with him to complete our underground transaction.
"Then let's go first. That woman will definitely go to find Lord Saber now. Inform Keiko Momoya and tell her to wait for our message before coming to pick us up.”I said. Rosin Lotus nodded. We got up and left our seats. I went to the counter to pay the bill, while Jin and Rosin Lotus walked out of the cafe first and waited for me at the door.
The middle-aged woman returned to the bar counter and calculated the cost of the coffee for us. "A total of 627." She said. I took out seven bills and placed them in front of the counter."There's no need to look for it." I was about to leave the counter when the middle-aged woman stopped me."Wait a moment." "Is there anything else?" I asked.”
"That friend of yours has offended the woman of Lord Saber, you guys have to be careful.”She whispered to me. "Thank you, I understand." I smiled and left the cafe.
When I walked out of the cafe, I saw Jin and Rosin Lotus outside. I asked,"Where are we going to find Lord Saber now?”"I seem to remember that when I went to disrupt the underground transactions of the three halls that day, some of the people I came into contact with mentioned the Fourth Master Saber.”
"That means we can be sure that Lord Saber is related to illegal underground transactions?”I asked." Well, you could say that.”Ember nodded.
"In that case, why don't we start from today's matter?”I knew that Jin already had a plan, so what I had to do next was to push the boat with the current.
Ember called a taxi and we drove to the most chaotic area in South Side.
Shouyang Road was the most chaotic area in the South District. The situation here was not as good as other places. There were many small sects here, but the Black Sun did not care much about this place. It allowed these small sects to mess around here.
The taxi stopped outside Shouyang Road. "Why did you stop the car?" Rosin Lotus asked in confusion.”The driver turned to us and said,"Who doesn't know that Shouyang Street is the most chaotic place? How would ordinary taxi drivers like us dare to go there?"”
After Jin paid, the three of us got off the car and walked into Shouyang Street.
There were all kinds of gangsters on the streets, with colorful hair and strange clothes. The entire street was filled with a foul atmosphere and did not feel like an economic city at all. It seemed that this place was indeed the most chaotic place. Because there were no rules and no restrictions, the people at the bottom of society gathered here.
There were more than ten people walking towards us. When we approached, those hooligan-like people focused their gazes on the Rosin Lotus.
A yellow-haired man with a knight's head said,""This woman is not bad." "Yes, it's quite beautiful." Another person wearing a black elastic vest was also looking at Rosin Lotus with a dishonest expression.
"Big brother, we're going to have some fun today." a hooligan said to the person in front. I roughly sized up the big brother that the hooligan was talking about. He was about 40 years old and was slightly chubby. He had a crew cut, thick eyebrows, and thick lips. A thick gold necklace hung around his neck, making him look like a nouveau riche. One could roughly guess that he was from society at a glance.
The man smiled in disgust, sizing up the Rosin Lotus and slowly approaching us. The hooligans followed behind him. They did not restrain their actions even though they were in public.
"Little girl, big brother invited you to play?”The man walked in and stretched out his hand to touch Rosin Lotus 'face. Rosin Lotus took a step back. The man couldn't touch it, so he withdrew his hand. However, he still smiled evilly at Rosin Lotus's body as if he didn't care about Jin and me.
I stole a glance at Rosin Lotus's eyes. There was already disgust and anger in them. I can already imagine what will happen to this man.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. Come and play with me.”He continued to approach the Rosin Lotus. From the beginning to the end, Rosin Lotus did not say a word. I knew that her anger had been suppressed to the limit.
"My hand!" The man let out a miserable cry. One of his hands had been twisted by the Rosin Lotus. The other hooligans could not help but feel afraid when they saw their elder brother injured by a seemingly weak woman.
Rosin Lotus twisted the man's hand with one hand and pinned it behind the man's back. She twisted the man's ear with the other hand, causing him to groan in pain. Rosin Lotus said coldly to the man,"None of the men are good."”
The man slapped the ground with his other hand and shouted,"Do you know who I am?" Rosin Lotus listened and pinched the man's ear a little harder. It hurt so much that he cried out. Many hooligans on the street surrounded him and looked at him. Jin and I stood behind Rosin Lotus and watched as she taught this man a lesson.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know.”Rosin Lotus said. Those hooligans wanted to rush up to save their big brother, but they were forced by Rosin Lotus's aura and did not have the slightest courage.
"Boss Ding also has a time to be beaten up, hehe.”"Does he like this woman?" "This woman is really beautiful, but with such skills, who would dare to want her?”"Boss Ding's face has been swept away this time.”
Some of the hooligans who were watching the scene started to discuss. This person was "Boss Ding"? I looked at the man in front of me. His hand was twisted by the Rosin Lotus and he was kneeling on the ground, unable to move.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll cripple you?" Boss Ding looked at Rosin Lotus.”Rosin Lotus clasped both of his hands behind his back.""Do you think you have the strength?”Boss Ding did not have the strength to move for a moment. He could only kneel in front of the pine chain." My sworn brother is the Fourth Master of Shouyang Street. Do you believe that I'll let him…" Before he could finish his sentence, Rosin Lotus kicked him in the jaw. Boss Ding spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body somersaulted twice before he fell to the ground.
"You know Lord Saber?" I took a step forward and pulled Boss Ding up from the ground. "Why…you... you... "Aren't you afraid?" Boss Ding stammered. I tugged at his collar and said to him,"It seems like it really is 'searching for it without effort.'Go back and tell 'Lord Saber' that I'll treat him to a meal at Southern Heavenly Gate Restaurant at 12: 30pm today. If he doesn't come, it means he's not giving Black Sun face!”
"Black 'Black Sun'! Are you Black Sun's big brother?" When Boss Ding heard the word 'Shangguan', he immediately became respectful."This little one was blind and offended big brother's friend. Big brother, please be magnanimous and let this little one go.”
I let go of Boss Ding's collar and patted the dust off my hands."Go. Remember, if Lord Saber doesn't show up at the Southern Heavenly Gate restaurant this afternoon, I'll personally ask hundreds of my brothers to 'invite' him to Shouyang Street.”" Understood!" Boss Ding agreed repeatedly, then ran toward a branch alley on Shouyang Street with his underlings.
When the onlookers saw Boss Ding leave in such a sorry state, they did not dare to say anything and dispersed.
"Jin, go and find out how much power Lord Saber has in Shouyang Street and the various transactions he's engaged in.”I said to Jin. Jin nodded and walked towards the depths of Shouyang Street. "Are you planning to set up a trap?" Rosin Lotus asked me.”I nodded." But that's not entirely right. We're currently trying to control this person called 'Fourth Swordsman.' If he doesn't obey, we can only get rid of him and exchange him for a new partner.”
"Then, are we going to the Southern Heavenly Gate Restaurant directly?" Rosin Lotus nodded.”I shook my head." Go and book two private rooms first. Inform Momoya Keiko to get ready next door."”Rosin Lotus turned around and left Shouyang Street, heading towards the Southern Heavenly Gate Restaurant on Qingyang Road, which was not far from here.
After I confirmed that Rosin Lotus had left, I carefully checked if there were any bugs on my body. I checked every possible place carefully. After confirming that there were no bugs, I took out my phone and called Uncle Tai again, but no one picked up.
After dialing everyone's number, he finally dialed Ye Qing's number. Ye Qing's voice came from the other end of the phone,"Is it Kaede?"
"Where are you? Why couldn't I get through to your phone yesterday? I've been worried about you.”I said.
"Don't worry, we're all safe now. Jing Muyan and I have already followed Uncle Tai to Hong Kong. We're preparing to infiltrate the Hongxing Society. The leader of the White Wolf Gang, who is also your master, has also brought Zhu Xiao and the other five to Taiwan. They're going to infiltrate the Qing Gang.”
"Why didn't we discuss this beforehand? Do you know how dangerous this is?”
"This was also something that the old leader of the White Wolf Gang suddenly suggested. We didn't have time to inform you and set off.”
"Then be careful over there. If there's anything, contact me immediately.”
"Alright, you guys have to be careful too. Contact us if there's anything.”
"Take care…"
"Take care…"
After hanging up, I deleted the call history and secretly saved the phone number in the phone book. I didn't expect them to have already reached the Hongxing Society and the Green Gang. In that case, I've successfully infiltrated all three of the major mafia groups in China.
However, I'm worried about their safety there. Moreover, the old man is not here. All the difficulties and challenges have to be solved by ourselves.
A huge rock in my heart was finally lifted, and I let out a long sigh of relief. " It's already 11:20 am. Ember should be able to gather some information we need during this time.
After strolling around Shouyang Street, I arrived at the Southern Heavenly Gate restaurant on Qingyang Road at 12:10 pm.
This was an extremely high-end and luxurious restaurant. The people who came here were all people with extraordinary identities. I followed Rosin Lotus 'directions and arrived at the most luxurious private room.
At this moment, Rosin Lotus and Momoya Keiko were both sitting in a private room. I walked in and sat beside them."How are the preparations going?" " Don't worry," she said." I'm ready. It's up to you and Xiao Tianjin."”
I smiled." Then prepare to watch a good show."”I called Ember and told him to come over.
"Alright, it's about time. Keiko Hiroshima, go to the private room next door first.”I said. Keiko went out and entered the private room next door. They have already installed a bug in this room. Keiko is listening to our movements next door. Once the situation gets out of control, it is impossible for them to walk out of this restaurant alive.
A few minutes later, Ash returned. The three of us sat in the private room, quietly waiting for "Fourth Master Saber" and "Boss Ding" to come to the banquet…
At 12:26 and 12:07, there was a flurry of footsteps outside the door. They must have come. I sat up straight. Jin and Rosin Lotus also made a gesture, waiting for "Fourth Master Saber" to come in.
The door was opened by the waiter, and the man who walked in was unattractive. He was short and had dark skin. He was wearing a beige suit and a pair of beige leather shoes. He looked extremely awkward.
Boss Ding was on the right side of "Fourth Master Saber", and there were four people behind him. They should be their subordinates. The person standing on the left side of Lord Saber holding his arm was the woman who appeared in the cafe in the morning.
When the woman saw Ember sitting next to me, she couldn't help but be furious."So it's you guys. You know who my boyfriend is, right? I'll teach you a lesson today!”She then turned her face to " Fourth Master Saber " and acted coquettishly." Fourth Brother, it's them. They bullied me this morning. You have to help them vent their anger."”
" Lord Saber Fourth " didn't say anything. He snorted coldly and gave the woman a look, signaling her to shut up. However, the woman didn't know what he meant. She continued to tell Lord Saber that she wanted to teach Jin a lesson.
"Pa!" A slap landed on the woman's face." Fourth Master Saber " slapped back."Shut up!" The woman was so frightened that she did not dare to say anything more. She could only stand behind the Fourth Master with tears of grievance.
"My woman is insensible and has offended you today. Please forgive her.”"Lord Saber" said to us. " Nothing." Ember waved his hand." It's nothing."
"Lord Saber, please." I made a gesture of invitation and Lord Saber sat beside me. The others also sat down in turn. The atmosphere was still a little awkward.
I asked the waiter to prepare the food and wine, and then began today's topic.
Lord Saber Fourth tilted his head and said to me,""I'm just making a living on Shouyang Street and haven't offended any big brother, so I don't have any concerns. May I ask who you are looking for today?"Everyone knows the status of Lord Saber in Shouyang Street. We just want to cooperate with someone like Lord Saber.”
"Cooperation? I, Dao, am just a low-level person. How can you think of me?”‘Lord Saber Fourth asked. It seemed that he was not an ordinary low-level hooligan. He still had his own mind and thoughts when facing things.
I smiled." The three of us just came to the Shinan District G from another city. We used to manage the business outside, but now we're back. We know that Lord Saber is one of the top figures in Shouyang Street, so we want to go with you.”
When Boss Ding heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth."Does that mean we can also join Black Sun?”It's impossible for people like them to be accepted into a gang like Black Sun. Even if they become peripheral members, there's not much possibility of them being accepted. However, this is our bait for them.
"Of course, as long as Lord Saber works with us in the future, we can make money together.”As I said that, I picked up my wine glass and prepared to pour some wine for Lord Saber.
Lord Saber looked at my hand holding the wine bottle and thought about something. "Don't you want your brothers to live a better life? Don't you want to stand out? If you work with us, we won't mistreat you.”
I observed them. The four hooligans who came with me should have been prepared." Lord Saber Fourth " didn't look like a boorish man, so he should have been prepared. If I'm not wrong, these hooligans are all armed with knives. If we do anything to threaten them, they will fight us to the death.
"Boss Ding" doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives. He looks just like an ordinary person. The one I'm most wary of now is still this "Fourth Master Saber".
"What do you want me to do?”Lord Saber asked. I smiled faintly."Actually, it's nothing difficult. I just want to expand the business of Lord Saber in the future and help us network the market and manpower.”
"What do you mean?" "Lord Saber Four" seemed to have guessed something. "If I'm not mistaken, Lord Saber's business these years is mainly distributed in a few places in the less well-managed streets of South Side. He deals in weed, heroine, and ice. There was one erotic massage parlor, three bars, one restaurant, and five arcade. Am I right?"
Lord Saber nodded and I continued,"We just want you to expand your strength, especially in the area of drugs. Of course, we will provide you with help. You have to try your best to network with small leaders who are of similar strength to you to form a connection network. As long as your bottom-level transactions are controlled, we can control the source of goods and the profits in the middle. How about we split it 80 - 20?”
"I have no objections." Lord Saber said. I smiled and raised my glass.”Lord Saber Fourth suddenly said,"Wait a minute."”
"Is there anything wrong?”" I only have one condition."”"Tell me, what are the conditions?"”
Lord Saber said,"My original territory will always belong to me, and my brothers will still listen to me."”"No problem." I nodded. "Alright, I'll work with you.”Lord Saber raised his glass, and everyone else raised theirs. "Pleasure working with you," I said. Then, everyone emptied their glasses.
I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but I still had to be wary of him."Lord Saber Fourth" didn't seem like a person who was true to his appearance. From the first time I saw him, I felt that this person was a little…
The meal lasted about an hour. We talked about some things about the underworld."Fourth Master Saber" left the restaurant with a group of people. Keiko Hiroshima also returned to the private room from next door.
"Do you think that 'Fourth Master Saber' is reliable?”Rosin Lotus asked. I shook my head." We're just a link between this person and the underground drug dealers. What happens to him after that has nothing to do with us.”
"Then what should we do next?" asked Hyuina-Keiko. Should he continue to search for new clues or monitor this Fourth Master Saber?”I drank the wine in my glass and thought about it. I didn't answer her.
" I think Lord Saber can at least help us complete the task of linking," said Jin." So, why don't we let go of the matter here for the time being and deal with the matter on the street?"”Rosin Lotus nodded in agreement. Keiko Momoya also felt that this was the best method.
Rosin Lotus paid the bill and the four of us walked out of the restaurant. Keiko pointed to a red sports car and said,""This is our car." We looked at the sports car. The lines were very smooth, and the red body was shining like a ruby.
"Get in the car." Keiko said as she opened the door. We got into the car and felt a special feeling. This was a feeling that only high-end sports cars would have.
"Go find Yan Xuewu." I said. Keiko started the car and stepped on the accelerator.
" Lord Saber Four " can already complete part of the task, so we can save more than half of our effort in controlling drugs. We need to deal with the business of the white path as soon as possible, so that there will be a hole in the Black Sun's economy.
Rosin Lotus informed Yan Xuewu and got his exact location. We then rushed towards Shangqing Avenue.
We walked into the Blue Sky building and arrived at the 54th floor. Yan Xuewu was waiting for us in his office.
When we arrived at Yan Xuewu's office, Baidao Keiko closed the door and the five of us began to discuss the current situation. Yan Xuewu took out a stack of documents and analyzed the major corporations in Black Sun.
We went through a few of the companies that we already knew about in detail, and I found a new entry point.
"The Cheng Corporation is adding a new project?”Rosin Lotus pointed at a piece of information and asked. Yan Xuewu nodded,"The Cheng family is a big family that has been around for decades. Their prestige is second only to the twelve big families. However, they have almost no underworld power. Instead, they put all their energy into business development.”
"Doesn't the Cheng family's group already have dozens of industries such as real estate, aviation, tourism, transportation, entertainment, and electronics? Why do you still want to invest in the pharmaceutical industry?" Keiko Hiroshima asked as she looked at the information. Yan Xuewu sipped his tea and clicked the mouse with one hand."I've already sent someone to the Cheng Corporation to inquire about the specific situation, but I think it's still up to us to get the answer for such a secret.”
I looked at some other companies. Almost all of them had connections with the Cheng Group. Most of the funds were operated by the Cheng Group.
I asked Yan Xuewu,"How did you do when your business entered the North and South markets last time?”Yan Xuewu smiled lightly." The results can already be seen. I've emptied all their funds and financial reserves. The markets in the north and south are starting to be congested. Before tomorrow afternoon, 60% of the company's shares will be completely wiped out.”
"In this way, there will be the first loophole in the chain, and we now have a new target-the Cheng Group. I think the rise and fall of this group is very important for us to grasp the battle situation.
"I have a meeting later to analyze the North and South industries. The Cheng Corporation will also send people over. I'll try my best to get their plans out. I've already installed the surveillance cameras in the meeting room.”Yan Xuewu said.
He showed us some information on the computer to understand the general situation of the Cheng Group. Then, he took his briefcase to the meeting room.
The four of us sat on leather chairs. The receiver of the monitor was installed on the computer. Jin turned on the sound system and we waited for information from the other end of the conference room.
"Yan Xuewu is indeed a rare talent in the organization. His grasp of the business and financial world is unbelievable.”Keiko said with a smile. It was rare for a business genius like Yan Xuewu to skillfully manipulate this gamble.
I leaned against the leather chair and twirled the silver and bronze rings on my hands. Two different glows flashed before my eyes…
