He did not expect Ai Qing to be so honest.
For a moment, Huai Shi was stunned where he was. "He, he really came to Yingzhou?"
"Maybe." Ai Qing said. "This has nothing to do with what you and I are going to do, Huai Shi. Sometimes, the fewer people who know about a secret, the better. What I told you just now is still within the scope of the mission, but if you do not want to be thrown into the trench prison, you will need a higher level of authorization."
"Wait a minute!"
Huai Shi finally reacted. His eyes widened. "Ol 'Liu is the son of Green Sun's big boss?"
"… Adopted son."
For the umpteenth time, Ai Qing sighed because of his carelessness. "Green Sun's leader has no lover or offspring, but he has raised many orphans. They call each other father and son. Although they are not related by blood, they have a deep bond. I thought you knew."
"How would I know about this kind of big news?" Huai Shi was stunned, "Isn't this a little too strange? The world's number one terrorist raising a male prostitute, this is too f * cking ridiculous! "
"Then why did you give that guy the hair growth serum at the station? Okay, habitual death, I get it now. "
Before Huai Shi could answer, Ai Qing had already guessed the whole story. She rubbed her forehead in frustration. "By the way, according to the surveillance from the central office, your bottle of hair growth serum ended up in Yoo Dong-ri's hands. This is probably the only good news so far. At least he has an endless supply of hair growth serum."
"Okay, I get it now."
In reality, Huai Shi did not get it at all. If anything, he was even more curious. "Why did he come to the astronomy meeting? Why did he come to Xin Hai? "
"It's a confidential matter, Huai Shi." Ai Qing answered coldly. "Just think of it as him coming to Xin Hai for retirement and checking the depth of Mo Du."
"Then what about Felbaha Mansion?"
"Of course, it's because he was the first one to die, and then he died, and that led to his death …"
Huai Shi felt his vision go dark. Every syllable that Ai Qing uttered would quickly dissipate in the air, reorganizing into strange noises that were hard to understand. In the end, when they reached his brain, they brought him waves of stabbing pain.
Ai Qing spoke calmly for five minutes, as if she had finished reading a report from beginning to end. It wasn't until Huai Shi's vision turned dark and his ears started to hurt that he stopped talking and asked curiously, "How do you feel?"
"Ah, ah, ah, ah …"
Huai Shi paused for a long time before he finally raised his hand to wipe off the saliva at the corner of his mouth. He felt dizzy. "This … is encrypted?"
"This is the result without the permission of the building. It also gave me a big demerit."
Ai Qing picked up the phone, glanced at the red alert on it, and tossed it to the side. "So, let's stop here, Huai Shi. For a tool, you know too much."
"Fine …"
Huai Shi sighed and rubbed his numb face. He was worried. "Ol 'Liu, he … won't do something illegal, right?"
"Even when he sells his face as a prostitute, he is so law-abiding and has never dared to skip work. Do you think he has the guts to do that? In any case, since you know, just think of it as an extra mission. The sooner we find him, the better. His ex-girlfriend is going crazy trying to find him … "
Huai Shi wanted to say something but stopped.
There was a question that he did not know if he should ask.
Until Ai Qing sighed helplessly. "I know what you want to ask. The answer is that the Astronomical Society will not do anything to him. At most, they will break his legs and send him back to the hospital to recuperate. At the same time, they will add more than three layers of security. Other than that, he will not lose a single hair, and his pension will not be deducted.
His value is higher than you think, even higher than you and me. To some extent, he is one of the insurance bolts that can allow the Astronomical Society and Green Sun to settle down and not start a large-scale war. "
"Is it that outrageous?!"
"Otherwise?" Ai Qing shook her head helplessly. "Do you have any other questions?"
Huai Shi shrugged. Before hanging up, he still felt a little uneasy. Although it was impolite, he still asked.
"Other than that … you are not hiding anything from me, right?"
"Of course not." Ai Qing's tone became cold. "I think we have to learn to trust each other, don't we? Unfortunately, after so long, there seems to be no progress. "
"Sorry, it's my fault. My fault." Huai Shi raised his hands in surrender.
"Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow's banquet is not so simple. At this juncture, the five big bosses are meeting. I don't know what they are planning."
Ai Qing finally reminded him. "The venue is likely to be equipped with a shielding device. If you want to get further clues, you may have to rely on your own efforts."
She paused and said goodbye before hanging up. "I wish you all the best."
"I hope so."
Huai Shi sighed, lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to toss and turn.
On the other side, in the temporary headquarters hidden on the outer edge of Danbo's inner circle, Ai Qing calmly processed the reports in her hands, archived the information sent by her subordinates, and sent it further back.
In the end, her gaze finally moved away from the screen and looked at the action file that would be sent to the decision-making room tomorrow for backup filing.
In silence, she pulled out a file bag at the top of the file and looked at the assassination order for the secret operations team that she had personally signed.
In the end, she threw it into the shredder.
There was a soft sound of breaking.
Before it was archived, the name of the deceased silently disappeared in the ashes, and no one knew.
"I say … it's not good to do this kind of illegal thing in front of me, right?"
In the corner, the security guard and thug, Tony the Horse Face, who was so quiet that he had no sense of existence, raised his hand and asked. "Besides, this is considered to be hiding something from Huai Shi, right? You're not going to tell him, really … "
In the silence, Ai Qing did not speak. She just turned her head and looked at him quietly.
After a long time, she showed a soft smile.
"It's okay, I trust you, Mr. Tony." She said, "As long as you don't tell anyone, isn't there no problem?"
Tony raised his hands decisively and surrendered.
Then, he wrapped a few rounds of tape around his mouth under the horse-face mask and stopped talking.
"It seems that we have reached a consensus. That's good."
Ai Qing nodded slightly, retracted her gaze, and looked at the clues and information on the screen. "Let's speed up … before Green Sun finds Yoo Dong-ri."
In the long silence, there was only a crisp click.
The number on the counter changed again.
— [4]

The next day, in the afternoon, on the streets of Danbo Inner Circle, Huai Shi leaned on a chair downstairs in Fujimoto Commercial, lazily basking in the sun.
"Mr. Huai Shi."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Huai Shi."
"Hello, Mr. Huai Shi. Would you like some fruit?"
"My humble shop has a new dish recently. Are you interested in trying it, Mr. Huai Shi?"
The pedestrians passing by, those who knew him would greet him, and those who were braver would talk to him. Some people saw the undisguised mixed-race features on his forehead and took a detour from afar, as if they had encountered something dirty.
It was useful for the newcomer to treat everyone to beer.
At least many people knew that this young mixed-race man slumped in a chair with nothing to do was the recently famous group leader of Huai Shi, the most handsome boy in the entire Danbo Inner Circle.
At least there were more people on the street who took care of him.
"You're wearing this to the banquet of the five bosses?" Lawrence came out of nowhere and looked down at him.
He had casually bought a suit, shirt, and tie from a ready-made clothing store this morning. Even the leather shoes were a gift from the boss.
Even a young man looking for a job shouldn't look like this.
"Isn't this already very serious?" Huai Shi looked up at him in confusion. "Besides, aren't you more casual?"
Lawrence still looked like a homeless person, with an old coat and jeans, messy hair, and a coke bottle in his hand … The only thing missing was a few flies floating around him.
"How can you compare to me?" Lawrence glanced at him, full of doubts. "Are you really from Yingzhou? Show some respect to your seniors, newcomer! "
"… I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it."
Huai Shi raised his hand, tilted his head, and pointed at Shangye behind him. "Do you know how to behave? Hurry up and get a chair for your senior and a fruit platter. Hurry up!"
"Forget it. I just came to remind you to be careful at the banquet."
Lawrence looked like he was dying of tuberculosis at 40 years old. He took out another cigarette and lit it. "The Huangchuan family might make things difficult for you. The Tiger King Team dared to violate the ban and secretly sell banned drugs because they offered all the money … You defeated the Tiger King Team. Even if Sheng Tianmu and Chiba think highly of you, the Huangchuan family might not let you go easily. Especially since it's the Huangchuan family's home ground this time. "
"Even Green Sun can't handle it?"
"If it can't be handled, will the Huangchuan family just shout like they are now?" Lawrence asked back. "You rose to the top too quickly, and your foundation isn't stable. Many people want you to make a fool of yourself. Don't be embarrassed when the time comes.
You've offended too many people, Huai Shi, or at least most of them. "
Huai Shi felt terrible. "I've only been the leader for a few days, and you're telling me that I've offended everyone in the alliance?"
"What else? Do you think the beer you poured wasn't enough to attract hatred? No one cares about that bit of money. Huai Shi, why didn't anyone do it? From the beginning, you told everyone that you're different from them. Why do they like you? "
After saying that, Lawrence couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. "Why do I look more like a Yingzhou person than you as a foreigner … Let me say this first, it's one thing to help you smooth things over with the five big bosses, but if you make everyone angry, I won't care."
"Is there a need for that?"
Huai Shi was dumbfounded. "Didn't I just open a water supply company?"
"Let's say you have a business partner who works closely with you. For a long time, everyone has maintained a polite boundary, taking what they need and not asking about anything else. But these few days, he suddenly changed his usual behavior and started to use the hot weather as an excuse to give your employees subsidies, bonuses, and benefits … "
After saying that, Lawrence turned around and asked, "Do you think this guy is up to no good and wants to mess with you?"
Huai Shi frowned and couldn't control his anger. "If these guys had any conscience, they would've given out their benefits earlier, right?"
"When did you have the illusion that you have a conscience? Huai Shi, only you would have such excessive pity for others … To be honest, you really don't look like a Green Sun at all. "
"Then what do I look like?" Huai Shi was amused. "Is it the Astronomy Society?"
Lawrence was also amused and patted him on the shoulder. "If the Astronomy Society was filled with people like you, there would be no need for Green Sun to exist."
In front of them, a black car stopped downstairs of Huai Shi Business.
The glass fell and a bright old face appeared. With a smile, he waved enthusiastically. "Oh, isn't this Mr. Lawrence? What a coincidence, do you want to join us? "
"No, I'll be there later," Lawrence replied.
So, the old man looked at Huai Shi and smiled even more enthusiastically. "Then, Mr. Huai Shi, let's go. The banquet is about to begin."
