"You are now a shield - the kind that comes to you on your own."
...Gang, this is troublesome!
Jiang Yan's team of trainees, no matter what their career position, will learn a course called "Special Area Knowledge". These courses implement the principle of "knowledge is power" and only teach practical information without water.
A gray area was highlighted: Syracuse.
Syracuse is a chaotic place where the mafia is rampant. However, when the world is in chaos, it becomes the most orderly place. It is precisely because of the rules and noisy laws that everyone in the Syracuse mafia abides by.
To briefly summarize, difficult conflicts and troubles will not become serious enough to alert the authorities; any revenge will only target the main executors and will not involve outsiders.
Since the underground rules of Longmen are similar to this, since Afa and Xingxiong are planning to cooperate, this violates the first rule. Unless this matter is indeed outrageous by both humans and gods, all gangs will acquiesce to this approach; and "revenge" does not involve "circle"
"Outsiders" - isn't Jiang Yan the best candidate?
Outsiders have the fighting power to protect themselves: if someone really comes to the door, Jiang Yan will become the only fragile insurance to maintain the peaceful situation! This is——
The more Jiang Yan thought about it, the more panicked he became: Violence can indeed solve this type of problem, but if he is targeted, whether a person can live in the dark zone of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a big question.
Lao Wang put out the cigarette butt and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't be too nervous, Afa is quite loyal. And I think he told you this not to use you as a shield, but because he has some differences."
role.”
"What's the meaning?"
"I can only tell you that I have guessed some - I have said enough. I can't tell you everything, otherwise this field test will be meaningless. In addition to going to work, remember to go out more often, even if it is to visit the scenery of Longmen
That’s right, you will naturally understand many things.”
Lao Wang handed the wrapped pork ribs to Jiang Yan: "Afa's place is so good? How can you rent a house with a kitchen?"
Jiang Yan took the ribs with a confused look on his face: "I rented a house elsewhere... Brother Fa still rents a house?"
"You can still rent a house outside?" Lao Wang was also surprised, thinking that this guy seems to be very capable: "He told me that this job includes food and accommodation."
"...stick." Jiang Yan sighed helplessly. Ah Fa didn't mention this matter to him, and now he was in more trouble.
Jiang Yan is not worried about the rent money. After all, the gap between his current daily salary and his monthly salary after taking up the job is still quite large. It can only be regarded as the level of doing part-time work. Besides, money has to be spent, so it is useless to feel sorry for him.
The main problem is Shen Mo and Shen Xuan - if the impact of this incident affects others, Jiang Shao will feel uncomfortable for the rest of his life.
Now that the matter has come to this, I can only believe that the boat will straighten out naturally when it reaches the bridge. Jiang Yan took the bag and took a look, and instantly became serious:
"Three ribs for such a big event?"
"Screw you, there's no point in bargaining: the price of pork has gone up!"
"I said, since we are all our own people, can you give me some discount?"
"We are all one of our own, how dare you sell information? I'll give you three!" Lao Wang gave Jiang Shao a roll of his eyes, and waved his hand like a fly to tell Jiang Shao to leave. Watching Jiang Shao leave with curses all the way, he felt faintly in his heart.
A hint of worry.
...Forget it, he still curses, just pretend that he has no problem.
Seeing Jiang Yan out of sight, Lao Wang looked around to make sure there was no surveillance, then took out his cell phone and dialed a number he remembered well.
"Hello? What are you doing? I'm having a hangover. Sometimes you can come to me in the afternoon -"
"It's afternoon in Longmen." Lao Wang said in a serious voice with a dark color: "BOSS, there is a situation."
——————————
Jiang Shao let his head hit the pillow for the first time in two days, as if all the accumulated fatigue was being released from all over his body——
After sleeping for so many hours, he woke up just after lunch: There was no way, the hunger in his belly was really unbearable. The mental fatigue was barely recovered, and now he should think about some serious things.
.
Jiang Yan picked up the list Shen Mo put on the table and read it carefully.
There is a bed, a set of tables and chairs and a wardrobe that is of no use to Jiang. The bedding and clothing in the room can be washed for free.
Due to problems in the city, the rent is indeed much more expensive than in Victoria, but it is not unacceptable. There is no contract owed, but the rent must be paid monthly, and one-third must be paid in advance at the beginning of the month.
You have to pay extra for meals. Seeing this, Jiang Yan sighed deeply: The days of eating for free at the base and taking what you can eat are probably gone forever.
The others were some relatively reasonable terms, and then they emphasized again that they should not affect the lives of the two sisters, and finally made a formal payment. Although Jiang Yan was given room for negotiation, it was not necessary - so be it.
Jiang Yan put the list back on the table, stood up, put on his clothes, and prepared to go out.
The main purpose is to eat, and the secondary purpose is to find Lao Wang.
Not seeing Shen Xuan, Jiang Yan took the key and quietly went out.
The result is now like this. Jiang Yan was carrying the ribs in one hand and the pancakes he had just bought in the other hand, and walked melancholy towards Shen Mo's house while eating.
Mainly because I'm worried about not having enough ingredients for pancakes. What else should I worry about? There's no point in being melancholy if there's no way to solve it now. It's better to think about food and entertain yourself.
So, the question now is, what to do with these ribs? I was joking at first, but I didn’t expect to actually wrap a pack for him. The opportunity is rare, and besides, pork is really expensive recently, why not let’s put it...
I wonder if they would like to borrow the kitchen?
With Jiang Yan thinking this way, he bought a few more vegetables and walked back along the same path.
…
Shen Xuan put the broom back into the tool box and carefully checked the corridors: they were indeed swept clean. I don't know since when, there were no cleaners to clean these buildings.
Sure enough, it was better to keep it clean. It was just the right time to go back and cook at this time. Shen Xuan put away the tools and went downstairs to his house when he heard the sound of a spatula.
"Did Grandma Zhao start cooking so early? But now..." Shen Xuan paused for a while, and her confusion quickly turned into shock: the sound seemed to come from her own kitchen!
Shen Xuan trotted to the door of his house, opened the door and tentatively called: "Sister?"
"Uh, it's me, Jiang Yan." A man's voice came from the kitchen: "Sorry, I can borrow the kitchen."
A lonely expression appeared on Shen Xuan's face for a moment, and then returned to his usual expression: "It's okay, you are..."
"I have a... friend who gave me some dishes. I plan to cook for a while. I may have to go to work right after dinner, so I started cooking." Jiang Yan put the last dish on the plate.
Put the dishes and chopsticks on the table one by one:
"It's for you and Shen Mo. Although she won't come back yet, let's eat together."
