Su Huaijun had no classes today, and having not slept well last night, she went back to her room to catch up on sleep after breakfast.
Qin Huai was still thinking about Lu Qingxue's arrogant demeanor, and he had an urge to drag her back and give her a good beating.
As he was thinking, Qin Huai gently slapped himself.
"You're such a loser! You spend all your time here getting caught up in romance instead of working on your mission objectives. Don't you have any sense of purpose?"
After changing his clothes in his room, Qin Huai prepared to go find Chen Huaidong to reconnect with him.
But before I even stepped out the door, my phone rang.
It was struck by lightning.
Qin Huai pressed the answer button and said casually, "Where did you stay last night? Don't tell me you slept under a bridge, or I'll laugh at you for the rest of my life."
"Hehe, how could we possibly sleep under a bridge? Boss, you're underestimating me too much. I only became the captain after taking over your position."
"We slept in a hotel last night! A four-star hotel! How about that? Surprised?"
Qin Huai was quite surprised to hear Lei Huo's smug tone.
How did Lei Huo manage to earn enough to stay in a four-star hotel in such a short time, when he was unfamiliar with the place and had no money?
Not one person, but eleven!
Qin Huai believed that Lei Huo would not commit any crimes.
Could it be that he's hooking up with a rich woman?
Or...
The image of Lei Huo leading the Dark Night Squad members to work at the Manly Restaurant flashed through Qin Huai's mind.
"Holy crap."
Qin Huai angrily cursed, "Lei Huo, you have no shame! I still have a face! You'd lead your brothers to sell their bodies, how could you do something so shameful?"
"What do you mean, 'selling one's body'? What are you thinking, boss???"
Lei Huo clearly knew Qin Huai well; he could tell at a glance that Qin Huai was full of filth. He said irritably, "After we left the restaurant yesterday..."
As Lei Huo described the situation, Qin Huai's expression became strange.
Chongcheng has a large population and many things to do.
The gray area has always been rather chaotic.
The various factions, large and small, are intertwined, with new factions emerging and others being destroyed every day.
It's become commonplace.
Fortunately, everything is under control. As long as it doesn't affect people's lives, we'll let them do whatever they want.
Both the Dulong Gang and the Single-Blade Society are very small forces, just a few big and small members who occupy a territory and collect protection fees. They are still in a state of chaotic disorder.
The two groups had been clashing for a long time because their territories were close. Last night, the two leaders met up to talk, and each paid for some extras to boost their own morale.
Lei Huo led the members of the Dark Night Squad to stand on the platform of the Lone Dragon Gang, giving each of them two hundred yuan.
Lei Huo and his group originally just wanted to grab a few people, sing a few songs, and then leave with the money.
Two hundred yuan can get you a decent hotel room, and you can even save some money for breakfast in the morning.
Who knew that the Single Blade Society would disregard martial ethics and bring in another small force as an ally, intending to swallow up the Lone Dragon Gang during the negotiations.
Seeing the situation, the Dark Night Squad wanted to slip away first, but the Single Blade Gang treated them like chickens, wanting to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, make the Lone Dragon Gang afraid, and reduce their own losses.
The result was quite the opposite; they kicked a steel plate instead.
The Dark Night Squad can take care of a bunch of thugs more easily than eating or drinking.
Eleven men quickly took down more than a hundred people.
The leader of the Dulong Gang was immediately amazed and treated them to a feast, booking them a four-star hotel and even wanting to treat them to chicken.
Lei Huo made the final decision: they would stay at the hotel, but not take the chicken.
"The leader of the Dulong Gang said that as long as we are willing to join the Dulong Gang, he will step down and hand over the leadership to me, and I will follow him from now on."
Qin Huai nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Huh?" Lei Huo was stunned.
What's the meaning?
Weren't we here in Chongcheng on a mission? Now we're going to be living on the streets?
“The underworld is a mixed bag, and petty thugs are not entirely useless.”
Qin Huai said, "Their intelligence network is sometimes more extensive than their patrols. If we use it well, Nuwa will be exposed right under our noses as soon as she enters Chongcheng."
"Boss is brilliant!"
Lei Huo reacted instantly.
In this era, intelligence and information are of paramount importance.
Instead of passively waiting for Nuwa to appear, it's better to actively dig them out.
The eyeglasses department targets the high-end market, but that doesn't always necessarily suit everyone.
The thugs in the underground world are actually good informants and might be surprisingly effective.
"You guys just hang around for now, just don't cross the line," Qin Huai instructed.
"No problem, boss, just release a hundred... uh, what if the organization investigates later..."
"Just say it was my arrangement, and that you were just following orders, so it's not your fault."
"Our leader is wise and brave, handsome and dashing, and debonair..."
Before Lei Huo could finish his dry flattery, Qin Huai glanced at his phone and said to Lei Huo, "I'll hang up now, contact me if anything comes up."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and opened his messaging app.
A message from Teacher Shen Yu.
"Qin Huai, are you free today? My friend's wedding has been changed!"
Qin Huai typed back: "I'm free, when will you reschedule?"
"today."
"???"
Qin Huai sent three question marks directly.
Good heavens, what kind of friends does Teacher Shen Yu know? It's all so frivolous!
The wedding date was changed so hastily.
It feels like they don't want certain people to participate.
Qin Huai seemed to be deep in thought.
Shen Yu sent another message: "Could you please come with me? Thank you."
Between the lines, Qin Huai sensed a hint of sadness in Teacher Shen Yu.
