Ding Xing——The crisp sound of the bell rang, and Jiang Yan walked into this bar without a signboard with Lin on his side. At this time, the shop was still empty, just like Jiang Yan usually looked like when he came to work.
Looking at the clothes he was wearing that had become nondescript due to various damages, Jiang Yan decided to change into the clothes he wore when working. When he just walked out of the locker room, three people were already sitting there.
In front of the bar: Lin, who was frowning and speechless because of back pain, Lin Yuxia, who was massaging her father with an indifferent expression, and a child who was sitting across a seat from the father and daughter, with nowhere to rest their hands and feet.
"Jiang Shao." Seeing that Jiang Shao was not injured, a hint of joy appeared on his face, "It seems you are fine."
"Well, I'm fine." Jiang Yan responded with a smile to this honest man who deliberately made noises to attract enemies before leaving. Then he turned around and bowed slightly to Lin Yuxia: "Thank you, Miss Lin, for helping me last night."
"It's nothing, it's easy." Lin Yuxia couldn't take her eyes away for the moment. She found the right place and pushed hard. Lin let out a cry of pain and collapsed on the table. But judging from his movements, the pain in her waist had probably been relieved by that move.
Young Master Lin Yuxia breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and asked, "How is Shen Mo now?"
"...She is at home now and fell asleep from exhaustion." Jiang Yan could only respond like this, but Lin Yuxia didn't really care that he might have something to hide, she just nodded in response and turned on her phone.
Jiang Yan took out the soda water from the freezer and gave it to the three of them. Seeing that the other two were not suitable to talk to each other now, he asked, "How is Li Chang now? Did you encounter any trouble on the road?"
Zie took the iced soda water, perhaps looking for some coolness in the summer of coats and furs, and did not drink it directly, but just held it in his hand: "Li Duan is doing well now - except for some fatigue, there is basically no impact.
.We didn’t encounter any ambush on the way out last night, so it was pretty smooth. How are you?"
"I was about to break out of the encirclement, but I still missed a step and was caught by the police outside."
"That... wasn't very smooth."
"What about you? How did you avoid being surrounded and arrested by the Guards Bureau?"
"us--"
"——On their way back, they met me who was going back to save people." The voice from the second floor made Jiang Yan's face change slightly, and then returned to normal. Afa walked down from the second floor and saw Lin lying on the table.
His expression changed, and he saluted him respectfully: "Mr. Lin."
"Well, boy." Lin patted the chair between himself and the child, "Sit here, don't have any worries, I'm just an ordinary old man."
"...Yes." Ah Fa bravely sat down on the chair, looked up and saw Jiang Yan with an indifferent expression, and handed him a glass of freshly made wine.
Afa blinked: "...Harvey hit the wall?"
"Yeah, Harvey hit the wall."
"..." Afa looked apologetic and didn't know what to say. In the end, he picked up the wine glass and drank the cocktail in one gulp.
Jiang Yan looked at Afa who had finished drinking for a long time and said, "How is it? Do you want to hit the wall?"
"...Not really."
"I fucking want to bang."
"...I'm sorry, it's my fault that I didn't explain the situation clearly to you."
"Oh, it's okay. It's not all your fault. I have a big problem myself. I just want to say that since I didn't sign the contract, I don't plan to work here anymore."
Jiang Yan carelessly and completely accepted Afa's statement that he "just went to discuss business" last night. He made various gaffes and even ignored the warning given by Lao Wang early. Later, because of this,
Such coincidences and accidents have put him in danger many times. This is naturally Jiang Shao's problem. He has no intention of excusing himself, but looking at the overall situation now, Afa is indeed not a good person.
"This bar is just a place where you can meet and deal with matters that require a venue. To put it bluntly, it's just a useful cover. There are two reasons why such a place needs to recruit people to work."
Jiang Yan didn't care about face, raised his legs and sat on the table: "According to my visits, investigations, and inquiries in the past half month - of course, mainly listening to the chatter of this 'ordinary old man' here, I got it
Familiar news: The slums, that is, Xiacheng District, have very few police forces allocated to them, and most of the time the patrols do not go deep. But recently, the number of patrol police officers has increased, the paths are deep, and old men and old ladies often quarrel, and they are finally arrested.
The police officer’s attitude of persuading peace. Why is this?”
"You notice that the Guards Bureau is probing for something, but you don't know what they are looking for. In order to make your shop more like a shop and take safety into account, it is necessary to find a part-time worker. This
That’s one of the reasons.”
"However, coincidences always happen one after another: not only did you find the right candidate, but the visit of an old friend brought you internal information from the Guards Bureau, and the target of the blame was not you. Although you can kill the newly arrived migrant workers on the spot.
Fired, but there is a better way to do all this: I have written down the characteristics of the customers I have received in the past half month. Among the people sitting around you last night, some of them had their faces.
Jewelry—I guess it’s a keepsake? But it’s not important.”
"The newly arrived wage earner is designated as the middleman by you without any notice - a fragile insurance, using an ordinary person to pull the last fuse of your underworld negotiations. Whether to abide by this rule depends entirely on morality.
If a commotion really breaks out, this person's safety can be said to be unsafe. But who cares about a tool man who bumps into him? What's more, he meets your requirements. This is the second reason for you to continue hiring people."
Lao Wang's reminder still made Jiang Yan aware of the embarrassment of his identity at the last moment and remained vigilant. Unexpectedly, Lao Wang's guess came true in the end, but the reality was far more confusing than he expected.
"Of course, I can't blame you for being cold-blooded and cruel. Cruelty is a necessary condition for you to do these things. On the contrary, as I heard, you are a very loyal person. When the situation goes wrong, you will ask people to evacuate, and when you
The day you thought of using him as a middleman, you made preparations to protect him."
The sunglasses with the positioning device didn't look like something that could be prepared at short notice, and the larvae were naturally chosen by Ah Fa as temporary bodyguards to protect the middlemen.
"Okay, who is that miserable wage earner that we talked about so much?" Jiang Yan pointed to the tip of his nose with his thumb and said word by word: "It's me!"
"I understand your position and don't allow you to say more, but this job is really not as stable as you and I imagined. So, according to Longmen dialect,"
Jiang Yan turned over the cup in front of Ah Fa and put it on the table: "'If you eat a bowl of noodles, turn the bottom of the bowl.' Since we already know that we are human beings, let's say goodbye."
