Chapter 47. Hide from the public's eyes and ears
Chapter: 4416 Words
About ten minutes later, Yan Xuewu returned to his office.
"How about it? This time, we can increase their losses even more.”Yan Xuewu said. " We're not worried about that," Keiko said." It's just that this Li Xing is involved with the Cheng Group. We need to find out the motives and actions of the Cheng Group."”
Rosin Lotus spun the flying knife, and the cold light kept shining between her nimble fingers.
"How about this, the day after tomorrow is the annual 'Wen Li' event. Many important people will be attending. When the time comes, you guys can go with me. There will definitely be a lot of important information.”Yan Xuewu said.
"The 'Wen Li' festival?" The four of us asked in unison.
Yan Xuewu sat down and said to the surprised us,"The 'Wen Li' event is a grand annual meeting in the South District. Every year, almost all the higher-ups from the political, military, police, business, cultural, and other industries would attend the event.”
"Then, not only will the people from the underworld participate, but also the people from the underworld?”I asked, and Yan Xuewu said," The underworld will also send representatives, but they won't be so obvious as to stand in the main position. After all, the 'Wen Li' festival is open to the outside world. Every time it is held, it will cause a huge amount of attention.”
"Well, as long as the underworld will participate, then it will be easy.”I said with a smile. "You have a new idea?" she asked.”
So, I told everyone about a new idea in my heart…
When he returned to the apartment at night, he collapsed on the sofa."Are we sleeping on the sofa again tonight?”Keiko ignored him and went straight to another sofa to sit down. Rosin Lotus, on the other hand, seemed to have a lot on his mind. He must still be thinking about Li Xing.
I took out four cans of soda from the fridge and placed them on the coffee table. I opened one myself and gulped down a mouthful, letting the cold touch moisten my dry throat.
"Jin, I'll go look for Murong Nuo and the others tomorrow to understand the drug trade situation in the South District and the underworld. I also need to understand the situation in the other three regions. You'll be in charge of Fourth Master Blade.”Jin drank his drink and nodded. "The feeling that Lord Saber gives me isn't very reliable. We must closely grasp all of his connections.”I reminded Ember.
"You two investigate the Cheng Corporation and see if you can find any clues about the pharmaceutical factory.”I said to Momoya Keiko and Rosin Lotus.
At night, everyone washed up and went to bed early. I lay on the sofa and thought about the few ideas I had today. Did they seem to have some kind of connection?
In the morning, everyone was resting. It was almost noon when we went out to eat something. Then, Jin went to Shouyang Street, and Hiroshi Keiko and Rosin Lotus went to Shangqing Avenue. I walked alone to the territory of the Punishment Hall.
The sunlight shone on the street, giving it a golden glow. I wore a brown jacket and walked down the busy street.
From time to time, I felt that someone was following me. I turned around and went into an alley. I continued to advance diagonally, but the person behind me was still following me.
Finally, I reached a corner where no one was around. I stopped, and the footsteps behind me stopped as well. I turned around and saw a few children dressed in tattered clothes. They were dirty and all of them were thin and weak. Their faces were filled with hunger.
I let my guard down and walked towards them."Why are you following me?”I asked. They didn't say anything and only looked at me with eager eyes. I carefully sized up these children. They looked very pitiful and sad. Could there be such a pitiful child in such a big city? Were they homeless children? Or was it abandoned? Or something else…
I squatted down and stroked a little boy's head."Tell big brother, why are you guys not going home? Are you hungry?" They all nodded. I saw two boys carrying large sacks in their hands. I could vaguely see some plastic bottles and cans. I understand now. They are a group of children from poor families. They come out to pick up trash during the day to exchange for some money to supplement their families.
A little girl said to me in a childish voice,"Big brother, I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten for two days.”I held back the tears in my eyes and got up. I picked up the little girl and held the other little boy with my other hand. I wanted to walk out of the alley. The other children followed closely behind me.
I brought them to a Chinese restaurant and ordered some nutritious dishes for them. Seeing them wolfing down the food, I really felt bad.
Why would some people be so rich that even a small action in life was so extravagant and wasteful? And there were even more people who found it difficult to even eat and wear warm clothes?
"Eat slowly. If it's not enough, big brother will make more for you.”I patted the back of a child. Their clothes were dirty and tattered, as if they were given to them by others or picked up. The size of the clothes was obviously not suitable.
I sighed and picked up the bottle to fill their glasses. The others in the restaurant looked at us strangely, as if they felt that I was a strange person who brought a group of children dressed in rags to eat in such a high-class restaurant.
After the children finished eating, I took them to the children's clothing store. When the owner of the clothing store saw that it was a group of dirty children, he immediately chased them out with a straight face and did not allow them to take half a step into the store. The children were so scared that they hid behind me and did not dare to move forward. I walked up to the boss, took out a wad of money from my pocket, and stuffed it into her hand. When the boss saw it, his expression immediately changed.
I chose two sets of clothes for each child and gave them 500 yuan each to tell them to be careful when they go home.
It had been three hours since I left. I immediately called a taxi and rushed to my destination.
When I arrived at the main hall of the Malevolent Punishment Hall, I walked straight into Murong Nuo's bar. Murong Nuo, Chao Da, and Jiao Lu were drinking in a private room. I walked in and sat opposite them.
"How are you guys handling the underworld?”I sat down and asked. Chao Da said," We're shrinking the three halls in the southern area. We've basically controlled the distribution of the southern area.”
I took a glass of red wine from Jiao Lu and took a sip."The other three regions are about to get involved. I want to know some necessary information.”
Murong Nuo leaned against the sofa, the dim light shining on his face. He held the wine glass and slowly swirled it,""You already know the basic distribution of the four regions, so I'll talk about the points to pay attention to in each region.”I nodded, indicating for him to continue.
" Azure Dragon Hall, White Tiger Hall, Vermilion Bird Hall, and Black Tortoise Hall in the North District are half as powerful as those in the South District. Steve controls the lifeline of the North District, so I don't think it's a big problem. He'll tell you the specific internal situation, but I don't know much about the situation in the North District.”Murong Nuo said," The West District is the most chaotic region. The Hall of War and the Grand Sunset Hall have been working together to suppress the Hall of Death. The Hall Master of the Hall of Death, Che Shirong, is not someone to be trifled with. I suspect that he is very ambitious. He may have colluded with the people of Hongxing Society to occupy more territory and markets, so the two sides have cooperated. However, this is only my current guess. I should verify it before making any plans.”
I listened to Murong Nuo finish talking about the north and west regions."What about the East District?" Murong Nuo put down her wine cup and took the bottle of wine. She elegantly and skillfully poured the wine,""The East District is actually the most united district, so Kong Shi has yet to take down the last Dark Gold Hall. This is the only district out of the four districts that hasn't been taken down.”
Kong Shi wants us to go to the East District to help subdue the Dark Golden Hall? There are as many as eight halls in the East District. The situation is several times more complicated than the South District. It seems that there will be more difficult problems waiting for us to solve.
"Is there anyone in East Borough that we need to be wary of?”I asked. Chao Da said," Actually, you have to pay attention to every character in the East District. If you want to be especially careful, it should be the leader of the Jifeng Hall, Huo Qin.”
"Is there anything unusual about him?" I asked, and Jiao Lu said,"Huo Qin might have an unusual relationship with the Death God Hall's Hall Master, Che Shirong.”I heard that if Huo Qin colluded with Hongxing Society like Xiao Yin, how could the East District be united? Wouldn't that be contradictory?
Murong Nuo seemed to have seen through my doubts and said to me,""Actually, a part of Black Sun's business relies on Hongxing Society, so to a certain extent, the two gangs have cooperated, but the underworld doesn't think so.”
"Then these two people should be the biggest obstacle at the moment?”Jiao Lu asked Murong Nuo. I shook my head."No, on the contrary, they should be the last to be dealt with.”Murong Nuo nodded in agreement.
Murong Nuo then told me about the rough manpower, territories, and financial resources of the three regions, as well as some of the main figures under the various halls.
It was completely dark when I left the bar, and I was sorting out the clues in my head. Since the three regions were already under the control of Gui Fu, this was actually just a show to make the central region completely chaotic.
We don't know the true strength of the Heavenly Gates Hall. How can we confuse Mu Xiaoge and break through the last line of defense of the black sun? This was a difficult problem. Moreover, the Hall Masters of the Death God Hall and the Gale Hall had an inexplicable connection with the Hongxing Society, making the whole matter even more complicated.
I strolled along the streets. The streets were filled with red lights and green wine. It was very noisy and impetuous. Some people came here for entertainment after work, while others came here purely to hang out. This was a corrupt world, a pedantic and dirty world…
"Brat, stop." There were seven or eight young men walking towards them. Their clothes were disheveled, and their faces reeked of alcohol. It was obvious that they looked a little burnt.
I was surrounded by them. Three of them were holding beer bottles in their hands. A few of them surrounded me under a street lamp. The lights of the bar opposite were shining, and the strong rhythm of music was coming out.
"Do you have any money on you?" A 24-year-old young man pushed me and the smell of alcohol in his mouth was pungent. I didn't say anything and just looked at them coldly. Seeing that I didn't answer, he gave me a slap. I turned sideways and he missed, falling to the ground.
He struggled to get up." You asked for it, brothers. Beat them to death!"”The others charged at me fiercely. A wine bottle was thrown at my face. My fist hit the man's armpit and he immediately retracted his arm in pain. I snatched the wine bottle from his hand and smashed it on his head. Broken glass splattered all over the ground and blood flowed down from his head.
I held the broken wine bottle and pointed the sharp glass at them.
How many youths like this were there? Why did he choose such a decadent life?
"Don't let any of them off!" Dozens of men in red jackets ran over. They should be from the Evil Punishment Hall. A few youths were quickly beaten to the ground. I ignored them and tidied my clothes before continuing to walk forward.
I don't know if I have the ability to change or persuade such people. Their fate is in their own hands. What path and life they choose is entirely up to them. I thought as I walked out of this brightly lit street.
When they returned to their residence by car, Hyuina-Keiko and Rosin Lotus were sitting on the sofa in front of the coffee table. There was a brand new laptop on the coffee table. They looked at the screen as if there was something important.
I walked over and saw a trojan-virus installation program on the screen. Could it be that they wanted to create a virus? I looked at them in surprise."We have to break into the Cheng Group's database tonight and get first-hand information before we can know their next move.”
I sat beside the Rosin Lotus and drank a mouthful of water."How's your performance today?”Rosin Lotus stared at the screen, her fingers tapping agilely on the keyboard.""This time, the government may also be involved in part of the investment and operation of the Cheng Corporation's pharmaceutical factory, so our task will be more difficult.”
The government cooperated with the Cheng Group to use the pharmaceutical factory as a cover to actually produce and sell drugs. Both were profitable. As the backer and collaborator of the Cheng Group, the government will definitely bring great resistance and trouble to us.
"Yan Xuewu's matter is going smoothly. The new funds invested today have been transferred by him. The North and South markets are just a verbal check.”Keiko said. It seems that our focus will be on the Cheng Group next. "Tomorrow at the 'Wen Li' festival, we must pay attention to collecting valuable information.”Rosin Lotus said.
I leaned back on the sofa and listened to Rosin Lotus continue to talk about tomorrow's operation." I'll be in a group with Xiao Tianjin tomorrow, and you'll be in a group with Hiroshi Keiko. You'll be in charge of the Cheng family's second son, Cheng Sheng, third son, Cheng Guangping, and fifth son, Cheng Dongliang. As for the Cheng family's old master, Cheng Shaohua, I don't think I can get any information from him. We have to be wary of him discovering our motives. Xiao Tianjin and I are mainly responsible for the father of the Cheng family's eldest son, Cheng Hao, and other people who have connections with the Cheng Group.”
"Yes, I understand." I said. Keiko said to me while controlling the mouse,""Your gown is on the hanger. It should fit you perfectly.”I looked at the clothes rack behind the door. There were two expensive suits hanging on it. I walked over and picked up a white suit. Looking at the fabric and workmanship, I'm afraid this suit costs at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
I compared it to my body and it seemed to be shorter by a small section. "This is Xiao Tianjin's. Yours is the one next to it.”Keiko said. I hung up the dress and didn't take the black suit to compete.
"The leather shoes are next to the sofa, and there are two mechanical watches. I'll help you take care of them tomorrow.”Rosin Lotus said.
I think Yan Xuewu must have prepared this for us. I was about to go to the bathroom when Ash opened the door and returned.
As soon as Jin entered, he immediately closed the door and walked in front of me. "Fourth Master Saber seems to be related to the Cheng Corporation!”
I was stunned! Fourth Master Saber is actually related to the Cheng Corporation? This was completely out of my expectations! Keiko Hiroshima and Rosin Lotus also stopped and looked at Ember in shock.
