Big Scar and the others left and never came back. Wei Aiguo brought the grasshopper to their room.

"You value this little bit of black market territory that much?" Wei Aiguo asked.

"No. I know I'm not very skilled in combat, and I can't hold anyone back. Well, I just know a bit more about those old things..."

“Speak your mind, I respect you as a man.” Wei Aiguo interrupted Grasshopper. “To tell you the truth, I don’t want to stay here long. Boss Chu used to know a lot of people, right? He wants to make connections with them, isn’t he? He wants to get out of here, but he’s been doing this for too long. It’s impossible for him to retire now. But I’m different.”

"What do you mean by that?" This black market is about to fall into Hei Zi's hands, do you think he'd let it go? I don't believe it! Besides, I don't think Boss Chu has any such intention.

But that's exactly what the haters meant when they said Chu Shaowei was like that.

"Actually, I've figured it out too. You're smart enough. Why don't we work together?"

I've heard that Boss Chu used to have connections with quite a few influential figures. Tell me about the people Boss Chu knew. Their connections with Boss Chu mean he can provide what they need. What Boss Chu can give, I can give too.

I haven't shown my face much in the black market, so it shouldn't be difficult for them to give me an identity. If that's the case, then from now on I'll be in the open while you're in the shadows..." Wei Aiguo stared at the grasshopper, afraid of missing his expression.

Although the grasshopper had done his share of bad things, didn't he want to be able to walk openly and honestly on the street? Of course he did. He remained silent for a long time. Wei Aiguo guessed that what he had said had piqued his interest; perhaps he wanted to give it a try.

"I'd like to change my identity; maybe then I'll have a chance. But it's impossible for you. How many years have you been here? Countless people know you. Nobody's going to take that risk for you!"

Wei Aiguo's words shattered Grasshopper's dream. "How could I think like that? I was just thinking about who the boss knows and who I can get close to."

The grasshopper's eyes darted around, and an idea struck him. Hei Zi hadn't been in the black market for very long, but he'd raped a girl last time, and he thought that was the end of it. A ghost wanting to be human again? Dream on!

But let the haters keep jumping around with hope! If it works, they'll have to listen to him even with this leverage over them.

He focused all his energy on those matters, and naturally, he was able to take over the black market operations. By the time he realized that what he wanted to do couldn't be accomplished, he would have been able to keep those people in check in the black market.

If those guys had listened to me, what good would it do even if Hei Zi was a great fighter? He couldn't have worked all by himself!

The grasshopper's eyes darted around, clearly indicating he hadn't made up his mind. However, he was definitely tempted.

The black market is indeed very attractive to grasshoppers.

Grasshopper began to slowly recall some of the leaders and useful people that Boss Chu had come into contact with.

Boss Chu might be dead, so Grasshopper can say whatever he wants.

The director of the cinema, the director of the workers' cultural palace, the director of the Changxing Street Subdistrict Office…

The grasshopper rambled on for a long time, but didn't say anything Wei Aiguo wanted to hear.

"I heard someone even drove up to see him. That's pretty capable, isn't it? Otherwise, why wouldn't he be able to drive? You didn't know about this, did you? Do you even know anything about Boss Chu's affairs?" Wei Aiguo asked.

Grasshopper considers himself a confidant of Boss Chu, so isn't Wei Aiguo's statement a sign of disrespect towards him? "I know the person you're talking about. He's probably the most capable person Boss Chu knows."

That guy is incredibly arrogant. Boss Chu has given him a lot of things, but according to Mu Liu, he barely even looks at Boss Chu.

"Where is he from? Do you know his name?" Wei Aiguo's face remained calm, but no one could guess how anxious he was inside.

"The boss always meets with him alone. Even Mu Liu has never seen his face. When the boss gets angry, he calls him blind." Mu Liu doesn't know anything about that person, so what's wrong with me not knowing? Grasshopper thought.

“Blind? How could he be blind?” Wei Aiguo asked.

"He's not blind, it's just that his glasses are too strong. He can't see anything even when he takes them off. That's why the boss is scolding him."

Let me tell you, those people, all dressed up so well, are really just like that. This guy's grandfather used to be a live-in son-in-law in a fairly wealthy family. Later, his grandfather severed ties with his grandmother, saying he was forced into it by a landlord. He took his children and grandchildren away and changed them back to his original surname. Actually, everyone in the area knows that his grandfather was on the verge of starvation when his grandmother's family took him in…”

"What was his grandmother's last name? And what did he change it back to?"

This statement contains a lot of information.

"I have no idea."…

Grasshopper told some more about Boss Chu, but none of it was as useful as this news.

Grasshopper then chatted intimately with Blackie. Then he took Blackie to play cards.

Jiang Changping had previously told them to come back early every day and not to go out for walks unless necessary.

So after the black market was shut down, these people stopped going out. Without Mu Liu, they hardly went to the train station anymore.

Jiang Changping forbade him to go out for a stroll, so staying home and playing cards was his most common pastime. At this point, Hei Zi couldn't refuse.

"Okay, you guys keep playing, I'm going to the outhouse." Hei Zi glanced at Chang Xiaohu as he left.

Chang Xiaohu cleverly followed him out.

"Little Tiger, do you want to leave here?"

"Brother Hei, where can I go if I leave here? If others know I used to be a thief, they won't talk to me," Chang Xiaohu said, head down.

Wei Aiguo whispered in Xiaohu's ear, "Now there's an opportunity. Listen to me and do this well. You might have a place to go in the future."
