Chapter 024 Secret Talk in the Tea House
Gu Shaoyun had given Green Dragon the task of retrieving the list at all costs, promising that he would give him a promotion as soon as possible once he brought back the list.
Although Green Dragon did not want to sour his relationship with Qin Feng, Green Dragon was now faced with the temptation of improving his life permanently. After wanting to succeed for so many years, he would do anything for the sake of his career,
Hiding in an una.s.suming corner of town, Green Dragon rented a room in a small hotel located on the outskirts of the city. He wanted to listen for news about Qin Feng there. According to his observations, the woman they called Sister Xiao Jinhua, wasn"t so simple either. She had to know something about the Special Unit.
In order to avoid drawing attention to himself and to not raise Qin Feng"s suspicion, as well as to avoid guilt, he preferred to murder the man with a "borrowed knife". Green Dragon found a crony of Shark Kun"s in Tianhe City, Zhang Hui, who was responsible for selling and stashing drugs.
He directly contacted Shark Kun"s people. Other agents brought the drugs from the initial production site to Tianhe, and then Zhang Hui distributed the drugs locally. Even so, Zhang Hui"s profits would still reach an impressive 300%.
The boss behind Zhang Hui was Meng Zhaolin. This man would not be so easy to draw out, once something came out about him, it would simply be chipped away at until the problem disappeared. On the other hand, Zhang Hui was destined to be a sharp blade hanging in midair, ready to fall at any moment. But before falling, he would achieve the most splendid accomplishment of his several decades-long life.
Green Dragon sat opposite Zhang Hui in a secluded teahouse room in Fengyang district.
Zhang Hui didn"t want to come at first, but Green Dragon knew how to take control and get things done, and talked only about Shark Kun. Zhang Hui realized this stranger would never leave him alone and wanted to just get it over with, so he drove to the agreed teahouse.
Almost n.o.body dared to mention Shark Kun in a small place like Tianhe City, or even knew about him. Thus, Zhang Hui knew that this bold person before him must have a good story to tell, and might prove useful.
"Let"s get straight to it."
"I know you aren"t really the boss, but it doesn"t hurt to talk to you," said Green Dragon.
"Who are you? What do you know?"
Zhang Hui put his hand behind his waist and touched his hidden pistol. Before he learned of the other person"s ident.i.ty, he had to protect himself. At the first sign of trouble, he would shoot. In the drug business, nothing mattered much since there is so much profit in it, it was worth taking desperate measures.
"I know everything about you working with Shark Kun"s guys. I know where you meet each month, if you get the goods via shipping or air freight, what type of powder you need... I know everything. But it doesn"t matter, because we are all in the same boat. However, someone found out about it all, and he-"
Zhang Hui interrupted anxiously: "Who? Who knows? Who the h.e.l.l are you?!"
Zhang Hui pulled out his pistol. This was the point of no return. If it had leaked out, he and the people behind him would lose their heads, which was no joke.
Green Dragon pointed at him unphased, revealing a dull smile. He gently sipped his tea as Zhang Hui looked on angry but confused. Without warning, Green Dragon flicked his wrist and sent the hot tea flying into Zhang Hui"s face. The next second, his gun was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Green Dragon and pointed back at him.
It was so fast, he didn"t even know how it happened.
Zhang Hui collapsed in a panic into his seat, nervously breathing, "You... What are you doing?"
"Oh, if I wanted to kill you, you would have already been cold five minutes ago."
Green dragon shook his head, laughing disdainfully, "You... Forget it. I"m afraid you wouldn"t be able to touch a single finger of his even if you tried."
"What do you mean? Just say what you have to say."
Zhang Hui was confused. He really didn"t know what the person in front of him talking about.
Green Dragon thought for a while. These people couldn"t fight Qin Feng, but he still had a weakness. This guy came to Tianhe to protect Xiao He"s elder sister, right? Well, that remained to be seen. Was he really protecting her, or did he come for something else entirely?
He smiled, "The Free Man Bar; do you know it?"
Zhang Hui anxiously nodded, "I know it well. Why?"
"Do you do any drug business in there?"
Green Dragon had a careful mind. He didn"t make a.s.sumptions out of thin air. If he wanted to get Zhang Hui worked up, he had to put forth a reasonable case. If he wanted him to use force, he would have to create conflict.
"No. The owner of the bar is called Xiao Jinhua, also known as Sister Flower. She is particularly stubborn. Running the Free Man Bar for so many years, there have never been drugs or s.e.x services in there. But business has nevertheless been doing strangely well. The place is regarded as a pristine flower in the industry."
Zhang Hui"s status in society was not to be overlooked. It was not so easy to get him to spill the beans on anything. But in front of Green Dragon, he felt everything was exposed. He felt hiding things would only be detrimental to his continued existence. So why not say everything he knew?
"These people dared to blatantly refuse to cooperate with you, and you do nothing?"
"This doesn"t sound like a partner of Shark Kun. It"s too pathetic," Green Dragon said.
"This... This has left a bad taste in my boss"s mouth for a long time, but he thought Xiao Jinhua was talented, and never moved her. Besides, Zhao Jun has her back; fighting over it is just not worth it. Anyway, we have absolute control over other places, which is enough," Zhang Hui said.
"I heard that you planned to open the largest nightclub in the city, setting it up as a decentralized platform for underground trading, and invited Xiao Jinhua to manage it, but she refused?"
Green Dragon was not a fool. The information he was looking for had never been found. Over the years, he had picked up a lot of skills from Qin Feng. Searching for information was one of them.
When he heard this, Zhang Hui was obviously startled. He did not even know this guy was, but he knew him completely. This was terrible. What was even more terrible was that he did not even have the courage to resist.
The other man"s aura could not be compared with that of an ordinary person like him. Zhang Hui understood clearly that if he made any sudden moves again, it would be his head rolling on the floor within seconds. The only way he could get out of the teahouse alive was to confess everything.
"Yes. Because of this, Brother Meng was very angry, and wanted to teach her a lesson."
"That"s right."
Green Dragon"s mouth flashed a shrewd smile. So there might be some use to this guy, after all. Seizing Xiao Jinhua could both reveal Qin Feng"s true purpose for staying there, and present an opportunity to attack him. As long as Qin Feng was in a panic, Green Dragon would have a chance to get Shark Kun"s list.
Although this move would be very complex, to be on the safe side, and in order to leave himself an avenue of retreat, Green Dragon had to do it.
