Storage card balance: 458,700.
Identity card:
One "10 of Diamonds";
One "Plum Blossom 2";
One "WD Special Edition" card.
Unlike his previous sneaky visit to Xu Zhi's place, this time, Chuanliu walked in openly and honestly.
She was greeted by staff members who used to work at the Cube Winery.
For them, who the leader is has nothing to do with them.
When she entered the winery, she saw the money string that had already arrived.
Qian Chuan leaned back in his chair at the bar with his arms crossed, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Good morning, you're here too?"
The man was methodically directing his men to restore order to the winery and clean up the mess left by the fight.
Chuanliu nodded. "I'll take stock of Xu Zhi's assets."
After all, apart from the wineries that sold to Qian Chuan, Xu Zhi's living area still had quite a few good things.
At this moment, Qian Chuan's subordinate brought out a case of red wine. "Boss, this is blended wine. What should we do with it?"
"Destroy all the adulterated liquor," Qian Chuan said.
"I didn't expect Brother Qian Liu to be so principled," Chuan Liu joked.
"I am not Xu Zhi. In the brokerage business, the most important thing is reputation. Without reputation, who would cooperate with me?" Qian Chuan explained as he opened a bottle of fake wine and poured it into the pool.
Chuanliu waved to him and walked inside.
She walked towards the study while taking notes on Xu Zhi's various treasures.
Upon entering the study, she went straight to the hidden compartment on the stairs; fortunately, the envelope was still there.
Chuanliu carefully examined the text again:
Name: Little Ghost
Occupation: Boss
Affiliation: City of Cubes.
"So that's how it is," Chuanliu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
She had made a preconceived mistake—because Crazy Feng's notebook contained a drawing of a "9 of Diamonds," she focused her attention on Xu Zhi; and because there happened to be such a vague piece of information in Xu Zhi's home, she was certain that Xu Zhi was "Little Devil."
However, Xu Zhi's information page made no mention of the "little devil's" identity tag number, nor did it contain any information about Xu Zhi.
Just as Xu Zhi said before she died, she put the envelope in the hidden compartment simply because the information was also an unsolved mystery for Xu Zhi.
What we can confirm now is that "Little Devil" exists. Based on the information shared by the Biggest Yorozuya, Madman Feng, and Xu, this person is basically confirmed to be from the City of Cubes.
Chuanliu dared not make the same mistake of taking things for granted as before. She knew that it was necessary to go to Wuwang District and have another talk with Crazy Feng.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by Qianchuan's voice, "Chuanliu, are you in there?"
Chuanliu quickly took out a book from behind him and then put the letter inside.
Upon opening the door, Qian Chuan saw the girl sitting on the stairs, holding a book and reading.
"What, weren't you saying you were going to liquidate the assets?"
Qian Chuan approached Chuan Liu and leaned against the railing of the stairs where Chuan Liu was, as if he had no bones.
The latter turned a page with a serious expression, saying, "There are golden houses in books; knowledge is wealth."
Qian Chuan blinked and forced out a "Okay".
Then he added, “I’m here to tell you that I’ve basically taken care of everything at the winery. Why don’t you just give me the land behind it as well, so you won’t have to pay protection money every time you pass by?”
Chuanliu closed the book. "What? Are you still planning to extort money from me for tolls?"
Qian Chuan rested his head on the railing and leaned closer, saying, "Given our relationship, I'll give you a 20% discount."
The girl ignored him, patted her bottom, and got up to leave.
"Where are you going? I'll give you a ride!" Qian Chuan called out.
The girl turned around and said, "Forget it, it's your car. I can't afford the taxi fare."
Qian Chuan ran to her side and said, "Didn't we agree that I would be your free driver? Don't worry, I won't charge you."
Chuanliu then stopped in his tracks. "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. Let's go."
"Huh? Leaving now? Where to?"
"The Zone of Ignorance".
The two immediately set off by car and arrived in the Wuwang District before sunset.
The Wuwang District remains as bustling as ever, teeming with people day and night.
Qian Chuan parked the car in front of the Wuwang Hotel, and a valet immediately came up to him.
On this paradise island, very few people own cars. Even if they don't care about money, they still hope to be noticed by a big shot and taken back to get a position. Therefore, they are all exceptionally enthusiastic.
Chuanliu had booked a room and was about to go upstairs.
Seeing this, Qian Chuan quickly stopped the man, "Aren't you going to reimburse the free driver for his accommodation?"
Did I say I would reimburse you?
The girl looked puzzled.
Left with no other option, the man paid for his own accommodation and moved into the room next to the girl.
As night fell, the two tacitly refrained from asking each other about their schedules.
Chuanliu changed into a loose black robe and put on that familiar black mask, as if he had blended into the night.
She easily found the Yorozuya neighborhood and sneaked up to Crazy Feng's shop.
Knock on the wooden door, and this time, Madman Feng took the initiative to open it.
"Welcome to Lao Feng's Everything Shop, please have a seat."
Chuanliu nodded and sat down under the dim light.
"Sir, how can I help you?"
Madman Feng excitedly rested his chin on his hand, his white beard squeezing out of shape by his hands, and his eyes shone with vitality.
He probably doesn't remember me anymore, Chuanliu thought, and directly stated his purpose, "I want to investigate this person, 'Kid'."
"Kid... is there such a person on Paradise Island?"
Old Feng stroked his beard and muttered to himself.
He repeated the same words as before.
Chuanliu almost thought that Lao Feng was some kind of fixed-spawn NPC.
Then, Lao Feng started rummaging through the cabinet and, just like before, found the notebook among a pile of miscellaneous books.
After a long pause, Old Feng said, "Sir, please present your identification card first, then inspect the goods."
Chuanliu was taken aback. "Isn't it possible to buy on credit?"
Old Feng shook his finger. "You have no idea, last time a girl asked me for some advice, she bought something on credit, and then she disappeared! Luckily, a kind person took pity on me and gave me a bill. You have no idea how sad I was, sob sob sob sob."
Chuanliu was exasperated. He wanted to remind the old man that the "girl" and "kind person" he was referring to were himself, but he was afraid that the old man's erratic behavior might backfire.
So she pleaded, "I can give you my ID card, but I need to verify your information first."
Old Feng suddenly clutched the notebook tightly, raising his eyebrows. "Pah, pah, pah! You underestimate an old man like me! Anything produced by Old Feng is guaranteed to be top-notch! I've never given any customers false information!"
Chuanliu had no choice but to reassure her, "Alright, I'll go get your ID card right now."
