Chapter Twenty-Three: What Happened to Alec
A few days after the explosion, the Yunge Tavern has resumed business, but the banquet hall on the second floor has not yet been lifted. The big hole on the top of the first floor of the www.biquge.info has become a rare sight, always reminding people of what is happening here. The Su family has recently been pushed to the forefront of public opinion, and people can often be heard talking about these things in the tavern.
Alec, who was busy at the bar, listened to all kinds of magical remarks on the wine table. Some people attacked Su Cheng, some slandered the Su family, and some scolded Wang Li for being a fox spirit, although he had become accustomed to these rhetoric in the past few days, Alec still wanted to go over and punch these drinkers.
Su Cheng has been a person for many years, and Alec naturally knows it in his heart. Wang Li treats herself as her own, and also donates a lot of money to the slums to help the people there improve their lives and become self-reliant. Behind these is naturally inseparable from Su Cheng's support.
Such a couple will definitely not be the masterminds of Yunge's explosion, not to mention that Su Cheng and Li Nian are good friends, Su Cheng can basically be determined to be the next president of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, he is full to kill Li Nian?
"Alec, give the table at the door a bottle of ecstasy." Hearing the shout, Alec immediately retracted his thoughts and took out a large bottle of Caldor's Ecstasy from the bar.
Alec came to the table at the door with the wine, and heard the lively discussion at the table.
"You say, what does this Su Cheng think, isn't he forcing himself to a dead end by making such a play? Now it's okay, I don't say that I was arrested, and my wife and children are still wanted, alas......" The guest at the wine table who was pouring himself wine shook his head and sighed.
"Didn't you read the notice? Su Cheng smuggled restricted minerals to Messidia. Moreover, I also heard that this was done by the Su and Li families! Because of the uneven distribution of spoils, Su Cheng killed Li Nian. The other bearded guest was a little drunk, and took advantage of the wine to make a big splash.
"These Akaba merchants, none of them are good. Ever since they came here to make a deal, our business hasn't been as good as it used to be! ”
"I heard that President Ripley provided a lot of evidence this time and exposed Su Cheng's true face, which is really good! Worthy of our empire! ”
The guests at the wine table are more objective, and more of them are attacking the Su family, venting their usual unhappiness.
Alec on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and put the ecstasy wine on the table heavily, "Bang! The conversation at the wine table came to an abrupt end.
"Last month, Mr. Su also united with various chambers of commerce to reduce prices, and Mrs. Su even donated 50,000 gold coins to the church! You people are lazy to do it yourself, and if you can't do business, you will complain about others! Alec was angry, but not so mindful that he tried to restrain his voice. These people are too bastards, they are like pugs when they receive the benefits of the Su family, and when the Su family is in trouble, they speak ill of each other, and Alec has endured it for several days.
"Yo, who am I supposed to be? Isn't this the third young master Su's little follower? Fuck you Su Cheng, if he is a good person, how can he be arrested? “
"The more bad the person, the more he will do some good things to cover up his wolf ambitions, don't you understand? Brother Alec. ”
"The Akaba people of the East are just mongrels compared to our imperial people, not a good thing!"
The group of people at the wine table had already drunk a little too much, and when they saw that it was Alec, they scrambled to count him and the Su family. In their opinion, anyone who mixes with the Akaba people is not a good thing. After all, the Akaba people came and went in North Star City, robbing many locals of their jobs.
"You! ......" Alec was about to fight back, but was stopped by the tavern owner Wycliffe, who rushed over after hearing the news, and after reassuring the guests, Wycliffe dragged Alec to the office.
"Young people, don't be impulsive, we all know Mr. Su's character, and I don't think it's possible to do this, maybe someone is framing him behind his back. It's just that now we can't help it, and we can only hope that the holy dragon will bless him. Wycliffe explained softly.
Wycliffe is usually a reasonable and understanding person, and he understands Alec's mood very well. Although Alec was a little reluctant, he still said apologetically: "Boss, I'm sorry, I was impulsive. ”
"Well, it's okay, let's go to work." Patting Alec on the shoulder, Wycliffe smiled at him, and he saw in Alec more or less what he was like when he was younger.
Just as Alec was returning to the hall, a man wearing a hood and covering his face with a scarf walked in, and it was a woman who could be identified by the exposed hair.
Alec saw the masked woman look around the hall and walked towards him, and just when Alec was puzzled, the masked woman spoke first: "You are Alec, right?" ”
"Yes, I am, what's the matter with this young lady?" Alec answered the other party's question while thinking in his heart that he could judge from his voice that he was not too old.
"I've heard that you're very well-informed, so I'd like to ask you about something." The masked woman said, took out a gold coin from her pocket, turned it around twice in her hand, and handed it to Alec: "If it's not enough, I can add more." ”
"Oh? ~ Then let's go inside and talk, it's too noisy here. Seeing the masked woman's movements, Alec immediately paid attention to it, because the action of handing over the gold coin just now was the code of the black street of North Star City, which showed that the other party did not really come to him to ask for news.
The masked woman followed Alec, and the two came to an empty private room in the tavern, and after sitting down, Alec spoke, "Okay, let's say, what do you want to inquire about?" ”
"Ask a person, I remember he got lost in the slums when he was a child." The masked woman said unhurriedly what she wanted to inquire about.
Hearing this, Alec's face changed instantly, he could be sure that the other party was talking about Su Mu, and there were only three people who knew about it, Su Mu, Wang Li and himself.
Alec immediately had a judgment, this was someone sent by Su Mu, because of the current situation in North Star City, it was inconvenient for Su Mu to appear.
"This clue, miss, are you trying to embarrass me?" Alec placed his right hand on the table and tapped his thumb lightly on the table.
Seeing Alec's reaction, the masked woman tapped her little finger on the table twice and said, "The Lord of the Shadows told me that this road obsession is not only lost, but also seems to be lingering in the laurel bushes of Blognia, and you, Alec know how to find him. ”
This woman is a knowledgeable person, Alec knew the meaning of the words when he heard her say this, and it was almost certain that she and Su Mu had been in contact recently, and if they wanted to find Su Mu, they had to go through her.
"Actually, I'm not so godly Alec, if you want to know more, you'll have to pay attention to the camellia garden next to the laurel tonight." After a moment's silence, Alec nodded in response. At this time, he showed a meaningful smile, looked into the masked woman's eyes and said softly: "I am really familiar with him this road idiot, but there have been a lot of things recently, and there are many eyes looking at me, and I can't pull it out." ”
Because Su Mu was wanted, Alec, who had a very good relationship with Su Mu, naturally became the target of surveillance, whether it was a good deed, the Public Security Bureau, or a deeper shady, they all wanted to find Su Mu through Alec.
"I believe you have your own way, so I'll follow your prompts to find the road idiot tonight." The masked woman's eyes flickered slightly, letting Alec know that she had finished what she had to say. Seeing that Alec understood, the masked woman added: "I heard that Lu Idiot has encountered a lot of interesting things recently, and I'm sure you will be very interested, hehe." ”
"Miss, you better take this gold coin back."
"It's a deposit, you can take it."
"Also, there's a window out of here, so you can go out from there. Otherwise, the eyes at the door will be staring at you! Alec advises the masked woman not to go down the hall, and anyone he's been in contact with lately will be in the spotlight.
The masked woman nodded, and was soon gone.
Shortly after the masked woman left, Alec returned to the hall from the private room.
As soon as he returned, a few of the guests who were staring at the corridor leading to the private room hurriedly bowed their heads, pretended to eat, and occasionally drifted their gaze to Alec.
Alec, who wanders the streets and slums, knew that these people were watching him, but he didn't care, and went back to work. What made him excited was that Su Mu was safe and sound, and he also asked someone to bring the news of the meeting.
"Hmph, I can finally clean up that traitor who eats inside and out." Alec muttered to himself.
