Chapter 7: "Shadows"

I didn't think too much about it, why did the senior brother want to explain this, it might also be an arrangement from him, so I didn't think about it, and continued to read the last page of the letter, and sure enough, I found the answer here.

The letter reads:

Xiao Qi, presumably you will find a lot of problems in the past few years, but you haven't asked me, it's not that I deliberately want to hide it from you, some things you didn't know at the time may not be a bad thing, but now I have to tell you, because this is already closely related to you.

There are many things that I still haven't understood, and I don't know all of them, but what I'm going to tell you is already all that I know.

You should know very well the components of our Faqiu Gate, one is on the surface, and it is also the disciple group we are in, and the other is the internal organization of the secret guest group, you may have heard of this organization, I also heard my uncles talk about it in the early days, but they all said that this organization was no longer in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

But when I actually took over the Faqiu Gate, I realized that the organization of Lu Dao had always existed, and it was not at all what my uncles said. Of course, it's not that they mean to deceive us, but they don't know what to do, and some of the secret tricks and even their children are also kept in the dark.

There is a book at the bottom of the safe, which contains a roster, which was left by the master, you have time to take a good look, but there are no names there, they are all code names, I don't know who they are, but they are all directly appointed to the manager, the manager of this organization has always been you, and your fifth senior brother has been the custodian for the first two years.

This dark group is not mysterious, and now there are even more mysterious organizations in Faqiumen, which is also what I only learned about after I really became a family member. Their code name "Shadow" is directly assigned to the family, and no one else knows about it.

The "Shadows" have no fixed contact information, and they don't know each other, and there is no way to verify the exact number of people, and I don't know how many years this secret organization has existed, and I don't even know what the responsibilities of the "Shadow" are. But I only know that every time I deliver tasks and messages, I must use your name, and I don't know what the specific reason is, but I vaguely feel that "Shadow" should know you.

Three years ago, I used the "Shadow" for the first time to carry out a mission, and although the mission was not successful, I was able to detect the identity of a "Shadow", and although there is no evidence to confirm it to this day, I can conclude that one of the "Shadows" is a wolf.

There are all kinds of signs that the little wolf is one of the "shadows". Don't expose him, try to keep him with you, make good use of him, you can keep you safe with him, that's why I asked you to use him to deal with things.

You don't have to investigate the other "shadows", they are all good for you, don't try to contact them, because it will be in vain. Sometimes I really wonder if the "shadows" are human beings at all, and they are absolutely worthy of being called shadows.

Next, I will talk to you about Long Jiu, I suggest you communicate with her once, Long Jiu is a rare assistant, she is thoughtful, agile, and can eat both black and white. I've been secretly helping me for the past two years, and I've never let her surface.

The outside world only knows that she is a very good woman, but they don't know who she is working for. Long Jiu is also the person I have arranged for you, but it depends on whether she is willing to help you.

If she is willing to stay and help you, then you can let her be in charge of the logistics support, which she is definitely more delicate than An Tong. If she doesn't want to stay, then don't force it, the money in the safe is given to her, let her leave with the money.

There is one more thing, Shi Niang wants to let September enter the Qiu Gate, I haven't replied to Shi Niang, you can decide this. There is an account book under the safe that is distributed to the uncles every year, you take a closer look, don't make a mistake, these old guys really can't afford to be sad.

Xiao Qi, you must remember that today you are the head of Faqiumen, you must think twice about what you do, and remember to be cautious.

After reading the letter from the elder brother on the last page, I found that I had really changed, I didn't feel anything, I suddenly felt that everything written in the letter was taken for granted, and there was no meaning to think about it, and suddenly I felt so sleepy and wanted to sleep.

I don't know how long later, I opened my eyes in a daze, I was covered with a blanket, lying on the Luohan bed, although I was still a little tired, but as soon as I saw that the door of the safe was still open, I was immediately dumbfounded, and quickly jumped off the Luohan bed, I didn't care about putting on my shoes, and ran to the safe.

When I ran to the front and took a closer look, I relaxed a lot, and there was nothing missing in it, which was really a false alarm. Stepping barefoot on the cement floor, it was really cold, and I hurriedly jumped back to the Luohan bed, carefully thinking about how I fell asleep, and why I still slept on the Luohan bed, thinking, you must be the woman of Longjiu, only she knows that I am here, maybe she saw that I was asleep and helped me to the Luohan bed.

Thinking that it was her, I quickly looked down at my clothes and said in my heart, it's okay, it's intact.

Maybe my beating just now was too loud, and it was heard by Long Jiu above, Long Jiu walked down and said to me, "Be quiet?" ”

I looked at Long Jiu's dress and looked very formal, and thought, is she going to work? He asked, "What time is it, are you going to work?" ”

"It's 4:50 p.m. and I'm almost out of work."

When I heard that it was 4:50 p.m., I was instantly at a loss, and I snapped my fingers and calculated that I had slept here for 15 hours. Suddenly I felt nervous, and my heart said, why have I slept here for so long, and when the family sees that I am gone, I must have to fry the pot.

I was just about to close the safe and prepare to leave, but Long Jiu stopped me and said to me, "You can't go out of the city now, at least you can't go out of here until late at night." ”
