All banquets in the world come to an end, and the dinner party that took place at Lin Mo's home finally came to an end.
After dinner, it was getting late, and the Night City was completely transformed into a brightly lit side. It was a bit late, and Lin Mo originally wanted Lucy, Sasha and Rebecca to stay at home for the night.
After all, they have a whole villa and not much else. There are still some empty rooms and the house is quite big. There is no problem at all in letting three outsiders spend the night.
However, his proposal was eventually declined by the three of them. I don't know whether it was because they were embarrassed or because Xu Wanxue's face didn't look very good when Lin Mo made the suggestion. In short, the three women still did not force themselves to stay at Lin Mo's house.
overnight.
On the contrary, Liu Ruoying lived up to Lin Mo's expectations and shamelessly chose to stay at Lin Mo's house overnight.
Seeing that the three people rejected his proposal, Lin Mo had no objection.
In the end, I troubled Xu Wanxue and borrowed her floating car to carry Rebecca, Sasha and Lucy back to their home in Night City.
After confirming that the three of them had arrived home safely, Lin Mo accompanied Xu Wanxue and Liu Ruoying to chat at home for a while. Finally, he returned to his long-lost room before 24:00, finished handling the daily chores, and fell asleep.
...
...
The next day, it was dawn. After a rare good sleep last night, Lin Mo got up early after getting enough rest.
At this time, Xu Wanxue and Liu Ruoying were still sleeping soundly in the room. Lin Mo also took advantage of this time to walk into the kitchen and cook today's breakfast.
So when Xu Wanxue and Liu Ruoying finished washing and yawned and walked out of the bedroom, they both saw the still warm breakfast on the dining table.
——Plain porridge, side dishes, fried eggs... very common breakfast, but with Lin Mo's excellent cooking skills, ordinary breakfast also looks quite tempting.
Liu Ruoying came over, arched her nose a few times to smell the smell, and then turned her head to look at her best friend with a serious look on her face:
"Xue'er, why don't we discuss it and send your precious brother to my house for a few days? I just need such a caring brother to help me cook breakfast every day. Look at my face now. He just came back.
I have been so busy with work these days that I have no time to solve the problem of breakfast, and my daily nutritional intake is seriously insufficient!"
"Come on, he only has the conscience to get up and make breakfast occasionally. In the past, he almost didn't get up until the sun was shining on his buttocks." Xu Wanxue smiled disapprovingly. Although these words were refuting Liu Ruoying's words, she
The smile on the corner of his mouth was obviously a happy smile for "the child has grown up".
Lin Mo didn't pay attention to the mutual banter between the two. He placed the bowl in front of the two sisters in a measured manner, filled two bowls of white porridge for them, and then took out a paper towel and wiped his palms casually.
said:
"I have something to do and need to go out later, so I won't have breakfast with you."
"Where to go?" Xu Wanxue asked.
"Meet your old friends." Lin Mo said honestly.
Xu Wanxue held Kuai Zi, pointed at Lin Mo, and discussed: "I have to be back before dinner, is that okay?"
"Okay." Lin Mo nodded: "Then I'll leave now."
He walked into his room, picked up the items he had prepared last night from the desk, returned to the living room and said hello to Xu Wanxue, and then left without looking back.
...
...
Night City, Japanese Street Area-Twisted Street.
It is still that familiar street. The early morning sunlight pours through the gaps between the high-rise buildings on both sides of the road. The shops on both sides open for business early. The neon lights of the billboards shine with a different kind of atmosphere even during the day.
Ambiguous atmosphere.
Before even stepping into the street, the music in various shops could already be vaguely heard. The passers-by also looked depressed, as if they had been here all night since last night.
"No, there is still a little change." As soon as he stepped into Twisted Street, Lin Mo discovered that the surrounding environment was slightly different from what he remembered.
The roads have become tidier. Although they are still a little messy, the garbage that can be seen everywhere is no longer as everywhere as in memory, and the air is no longer as turbid and smelly as before.
This was only part of the change. In addition, Lin Mo also found that the spirits of the gangsters guarding both sides of the street had changed a lot. They had changed from gangster-like "spiritual guys" to strict self-discipline.
"The Gangster Gang".
Although the overall change is not big, at least it is improving and getting better.
"Brother, are you a little too impatient to come to Twisted Street so early in the morning?" A coquettish shout came from the side, along with the strong smell of cheap perfume.
A street worker who had been working hard all day long walked over. Her clothes were bright and thin, and her skin was as smooth as jade.
Lin Mo glanced at the young lady and wanted to ignore her, but a new thought came to his mind the next second.
Without much hesitation, his eyes quickly lit up with blue light, and he transferred a tip to the young lady he had met by chance, and then said in the face of the other party's surprise and surprise:
"I need to ask you a few questions."
"The color of my underwear today is... I'm single, I'm 19 years old, I can do whatever I want..." the woman replied impatiently.
"Stop, that's not what I want to ask." Lin Mo interrupted coldly. He didn't know what this woman had gone through to have such a conditioned response.
"Sir, do you want to ask...?" The woman looked at Lin Mo eagerly.
"You...should be the old man here, right?" Lin Mo asked after a pause.
"That's right, I've been working here for almost a year, and I'm relatively senior..." the woman said with a slightly bitter tone.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! One year... If you can live smoothly in a place like Night City for one year, you must have mastered your own life know-how. In the twist of survival of the fittest,
Twisted Street is considered a "senior" among street workers.
Lin Mo thought for a moment and then asked: "Has anything major happened to Twisted Street in the past six months? Or has anything changed?"
"Big thing? Change?" The woman cooed, frowned and thought for a while, then relaxed her eyebrows and said slightly:
"There must be some. To put it simply, in the past six months, the living environment on Twisted Street has improved a lot. The specific reason seems to be that the eldest brother of the Tiger Claw Gang has changed people. After he took over, he formulated many rules, such as
It is said that the protection fees charged to our sex partners have been reduced a lot, and the business environment of the entire street has also improved a lot...at least people like us have an easier life."
Lin Mo nodded thoughtfully.
"Can I ask what the big brother's name is?"
"I don't know the specific name, but everyone calls him Brother Hao." The woman said honestly, turned around, raised her arm, and pointed to the depths of the street:
"He seems to often hang out in a nightclub on Twist Street, so the members of the Tiger Claw Gang talk about him a lot. Everyone says he is terrible, but his treatment of the gang members is very...
good."
very good...?
Lin Mo never expected that such words would appear in the other party's mouth.
"Can you take me to a place where he often appears?" he asked.
"Okay, you come with me." The woman nodded, not thinking that Lin Mo would be the kind of person to cause trouble, and led him deeper into the street.
The two of them strolled through the bustling streets, and soon they saw an entertainment club at a corner that was still open during the day, with the words "Yin Dian Garden" written on the colorful signboard.
"This is it. If you are looking for someone, sir, you can go in alone. I don't dare." The woman took a few steps back and was about to say goodbye.
However, the next second, the spacious glass door of the club suddenly opened, and a group of powerful gang members walked out. They were not dressed in red and green like the previous members of the Tiger Claw Gang. Instead, everyone was wearing a uniform.
Elegant, slim-fitting suits fully showed off their strong bodies.
A whole group of gang members in suits quickly lined up on both sides of the gate, completely blocking the woman's escape route. How could she have seen such a force? She was completely stunned. She immediately mistakenly thought it was Lin Mo.
If she offends someone, she might be the one who suffers next.
What immediately dispelled her fear was the chorus of shouts from the gang, their voices almost reaching the sky:
"Welcome, sir, to come to Yin Dian Garden for inspection!"
The woman immediately looked at Lin Mo standing aside in shock, never expecting that this young boy could be welcomed by such a group of elite members of the Tiger Claw Gang!
However, compared to the shock in the woman's heart, although Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged, he was almost picking at his feet with embarrassment.
Kitagawa Hiroshi, Kitagawa Hiroshi, why did you create such a welcome ceremony for me...
After a while, the rightful man in a white suit finally came out of the club. He stood at the gate, his majestic temperament dissipated the moment he met Lin Mo's eyes, and he became easy-going and humble.
Compared with half a year ago, this Japanese-American man has grown a little beard, his face has become tougher, and he has the demeanor of a big brother in every move he makes.
"Welcome back, Mr. Lin, everyone in the Tiger Claw Gang can be at your disposal at any time!"
Lin Mo remained calm and nodded calmly.
...
On the second floor of the Yintian Garden Club, in a spacious private room, sweet sounds echoed in the private room.
The projection device in the corner of the ceiling reflects various images, making the guests in the box feel like they are under the silent moonlight, with all kinds of flowers and weeds, green grass and shadowy trees, as if they are really in the legendary Yin Tian Garden.
As soon as he entered the room, Lin Mo's eyes were attracted by the trees.
"Are those apples real?" Lin Mo looked at the imaginary trees standing in the room in shock, his eyes resting on the bright red apples hanging on the treetops.
Although the virtual projected images are very real, there will still be slight flaws in the details. Normal people may not be able to see them, but he has superhuman eyesight and can easily see ordinary virtual images.
But the texture of these apples was so real that Lin Mo couldn't see any flaws at all.
Kitagawa Hiroshi glanced at the apples casually, and quickly replied seriously: "The trees are fake, but the fruits are real. They are all real fruits I purchased from the company's channels. Each one is delicious and sweet. They are considered a club."
It’s a selling point.”
I bet you really created a Yintian Garden... Lin Mo complained in his heart.
"Mr. Lin, do you want to try one?" Kitagawa Hao walked to the tree, stretched out his palm and picked an apple from the treetop, which was less than two meters high.
"Forget it, I'm not interested." Lin Mo shook his head.
In this garden, he finally found two wooden stakes of suitable size that were placed on the ground and seemed to be specially provided for guests to sit.
When I walked over and touched it, I realized that the wooden pile was actually a virtual image, and the actual object should be a sofa.
"It's better to get rid of all these disturbing images." Lin Mo said helplessly.
Kitagawa Hao nodded, snapped his fingers, and quickly removed all the projections in the box.
The two finally took their seats.
"It would be nice if Mr. Lin could tell me in advance when he comes back this time. Last night, I heard that Miss Lucy and the others had returned to their respective homes, so I guessed that you must have come back with them, so I also called the brothers late at night.
I called over and prepared to help you, but I still didn't expect you to come over so early." Beichuan Hao said in a low voice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Mo sighed and waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm still not used to this kind of battle. I'll keep a low profile in the future."
Beichuan Hao put his hands on his knees, bowed abruptly, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, this time it's my fault. I originally wanted to help you."
"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter. There's no need to blame yourself. Rather than this, you should first talk about what you have done in the past six months." Lin Mo asked.
Hearing this, Kitagawa Hao suddenly took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"I have not dared to forget the tasks assigned by Mr. Lin in the past six months. I have successfully completed what you assigned me before."
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Just tell me."
"First of all, I have now successfully taken the Tiger Claw Gang into my hands. Now I am responsible for all the affairs of the gang. With your financial assistance, Mr. Lin, the overall strength of the Tiger Claw Gang has also been enhanced.
At present, the assets under my control are combined, and the daily turnover can reach millions of euros. I am also in charge of 1,351 gang members, accounting for a quarter of the members of the Tiger Claw Gang..."
Listening to these matters that Beichuan Hao narrated, Lin Mo listened patiently without saying a word, and by the way, he compared them one by one with the intelligence information Xu Wanxue gave him.
This was also one of the insurances he had made in advance. He had to prevent the unexpected occurrence of Kitagawa Hiroshi having evil intentions.
Otherwise, he would not bother to listen to Kitagawa Hao's introduction.
Later, when Kitagawa Hao finished explaining, Lin Mo also breathed a sigh of relief.
In general, the internal situation of the Tiger Claw Gang as told by Kitagawa Hiroshi was basically not much different from the information Xu Wanxue gave him.
Even in some details and secrets, Kitagawa Hiroshi explained it more clearly.
"Then what's going on with the Bakker family that I asked you to take special care of?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. After I took charge, I also cooperated with Ms. Rogge, and the Bakker family has been completely integrated into the Snake State!"
