Chapter 202 The Underworld and the Protagonist
"What does it matter to you whether they're powerful or not? Just remember what I said and get back to work!" Sister Shan glared at Wen Ni again.
"oh……"
Wen Ni nodded, looking aggrieved.
When she turned around again, her expression had returned to its usual coldness, and she picked up a mop to wipe the floor for the guests at table number 6!
"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting!"
"fine."
The guest at table 6 suddenly reached out and touched her arm.
A delicate object, no bigger than a soybean, was caught by Wen Ni and put into her pocket.
Seeing that Wen Ni was quite well-behaved and worked efficiently, Sister Shanshan nodded in satisfaction. Then she turned around, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said as she walked, "Brother Piao, the two VIPs on the fifth floor have come upstairs. There was a slight mishap just now. Could you bring them some drinks and snacks to soothe their emotions?"
“Okay, I understand,” Piao Ge replied.
After cleaning the floor on the third floor, Wen Ni took the mop and went back to the tool room.
I happened to run into Li Yan inside, who was taking a break to play on his phone!
"Has Sister Shanshan gone upstairs yet?"
"I'm going upstairs," Wen Ni said.
"Okay then." Li Yan relaxed and played with his phone even more.
Wen Ni glanced at him and then asked, "Brother Li Yan, do you know what those two people did just now? Why is Sister Shan Shan so afraid of offending them?"
"You mean Master Chuan and Young Master Zhuo?"
Li Yan turned off his phone screen, looked up and said seriously, "Don't say that Sister Shanshan is afraid of them. If they stomped their feet, they could make the earth tremble, do you believe it?"
"That powerful? Even more powerful than the Lu family in Beijing?" Wen Ni raised an eyebrow.
“You can’t compare them like that.” Li Yan got excited when he started talking about this, and went on and on. “The Lu family in Beijing has a red background, they’re really powerful! And Master Chuan and his group aren’t bad either, because they’re involved in both the legitimate and underworld!”
"Back in the day, that Master Chuan was the kind of guy who could carry a knife and chop people up in the street! As for that Young Master Zhuo, he's his only son and his future successor!"
"Let me tell you, Young Master Zhuo is a regular at our club. He often talks business here with people from both the underworld and the legitimate world. Don't be fooled by how he was helping you out just now. In reality, he's even more eccentric than his father. He's stern and ruthless behind the scenes!"
"I see." Wen Ni nodded in understanding.
China's underground forces have always been deeply entrenched, but since the establishment of a society governed by the rule of law, those underground bosses have also begun to engage in both legitimate and illegitimate businesses.
As long as they do not threaten social stability, China will not easily target them!
"Although Sister Shanshan has a bad temper, she's really capable of taking action if something happens to us. Just listen to her, and you'll be fine!"
"I understand, thank you, Brother Li Yan."
Wen Ni had her own thoughts.
What Master Chuan, Young Master Zhuo...
Once her mission is over, none of them will have anything to do with her!
"Li Yan, what are you two doing here?!" Qiao Qiao suddenly pushed open the door to the tool shed, looking at her suspiciously. "Are you slacking off or having a romance?"
"Qiaoqiao, don't talk nonsense! Wen Ni asked me something, so I just talked to her a bit more!" Li Yan's face turned bright red instantly, and he quickly stood up and walked out. "I'm going to work!"
"..."
Watching Li Yan leave.
Qiao Qiao looked at Wen Ni, her tone not very pleasant, "Let me be frank with you..."
"I've seen plenty of people like you, always sucking up to everyone, trying to please everyone, seemingly a nice, easy-going person, but actually just a green tea bitch! Sister Shanshan despises people like you the most, and you shouldn't expect to get anything out of her or me!"
"You're just a lowly waitress, what benefits could I possibly gain from you?" Wen Ni smiled at her, then tapped her own head with her finger. "A person should know their place."
"Also, I don't care whether anyone likes me or not. I'm just here for a part-time job, not to live with you guys. Six hours from now, I won't even bother to talk to you if we're walking face to face on the street!"
After saying that, Wen Ni casually closed the door to the tool shed, effectively shutting Qiao Qiao out!
After a while.
I listened as the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away until they disappeared.
Wen Ni took out a receiver the size of a soybean from her pocket, placed it at the edge of her ear canal, and could hear a hissing sound coming from inside!
This is the bugging device that the plainclothes policeman from station 6 just handed to her.
Once the signal reception stabilized, she could clearly hear the conversation between Wu Laosan and Siyan in the VIP room!
"Wu Laosan, I remember you said you were going to send me some new goods a while ago, but nothing's happened for so long. What's wrong? Didn't you get them?"
The new item that Four-Eyes mentioned was [the child].
"Brother, the goods are too hard to get. I did have connections before, but before I could even make a move, I almost got myself into trouble! I almost got caught by the cops!" Wu Laosan's words were a mix of truth and lies.
"Damn it! You better watch out, kid, don't drag me into this!" Four-Eyes said, his tone slightly tense.
"Brother, I haven't been arrested yet, have I? Even if I had, I wouldn't dare to betray you!" Wu Laosan chuckled sheepishly, then lowered his voice, "Brother, are you still buying goods? Actually, I've been wanting to ask you this for a while now, what do you do with those goods?"
"Ask so many questions, or you'll lose your head!" Four-Eyes scolded slyly, then added, "I can only tell you that this business is tough within the country, but it's a different story once it leaves the country! The boss I know has raised his price again, 300,000 each, and he needs them in a few days! If you have any, hurry up and send them over, or you'll miss this opportunity!"
"300,000! You can give that much? Well, bro! I'll contact you once I get it!" Wu Laosan seemed very interested.
"Alright! Brother, I'll tell you how to trade later." Four-Eyes chuckled, then suddenly changed the subject, asking seemingly casually, "By the way, brother, why haven't you been playing cards these past few days? What have you been busy with?"
Wen Ni in the tool room and the plainclothes policeman at station number 6 almost simultaneously held their breath, quietly waiting for Wu Laosan's answer!
"Hahaha..."
Wu Laosan's laughter sounded slightly awkward. "Didn't you hear about the serious earthquake in Phoenix Town? My sister's house collapsed, and business is bad. Where would I get the money to gamble? I've been busy helping my sister rebuild her house these past few days!"
"Oh..." Four-Eyes sounded a little surprised, then changed the subject with a laugh, "Don't just chat, come on, come on, I'll take you to the hot springs!"
"Oh! Okay, okay, thank you, brother!" said Wu Laosan.
I could hear the rushing sound of water coming from the bugging device.
Wen Ni lowered her eyes, her mind thoughtful!
This meeting between Wu Laosan and Siyan still failed to extract any clues about the overseas contact person!
What if we could start by investigating Four-Eyes' identity?
A glint of light flashed in Wen Ni's eyes!
As the clock struck midnight, the bathhouse was a little quieter than during the day.
Xiaoru, who works at the front desk, was dozing off.
A steaming cup of coffee, wafting a rich aroma, suddenly appeared before her eyes.
"Sister Xiaoru."
"Ah...it's Wen Ni?"
