Chapter 241: Goodbye Wakako
The next day, early in the morning, the sun was shining.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the night, the twisted street at this time seems a little deserted and lonely.
There are not many shops open on the whole street, and street workers are all standing listlessly on the street, working overtime for their street work in another sense.
Lin Mo put his hands in the pockets of his coat, and his whole figure was hidden in the slender windbreaker.
He walked on the street, without the mask of "everyone shouting and beating", and there was no expression on his handsome face, like a hermit who does not eat fireworks, without joy or sorrow.
Behind him, Kitagawa followed closely in a white suit, his eyes vigilantly looking around, observing the street ruled by the Tiger Claw Gang.
The apartment he lives in is not too far from Twist Street, and he will come here when he has nothing to do, and catch up with several brothers from the former Tiger Claw Gang, which can be regarded as renewing the old friendship.
In the past, for the sake of his sister, Kitagawa Hiroshi has always tried his best to dissociate himself from the brothers of the Tiger Claw Gang.
After all, he has "washed his hands", and there is no need to continue to contact these people.
But after deciding to serve Lin Mo, in order to expand his network and contacts in order to better help Lin Mo, Kitagawa Hao also picked up his previous contacts again, and from time to time went to have a supper with the brothers he knew before, play Mewtwo or something like that.
So, he is no stranger to this street.
Although it was daytime, the streets were not lively and deserted, but Kitagawa Hiroshi could still see at a glance that something was wrong.
"Lin Jun, the people here have become very vigilant, and they don't seem to be wearing katana swords."
Taking a few steps closer, Kitagawa Hao whispered his discovery to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo nodded absently, not surprised.
"It seems that the impact of yesterday's bounty release has begun to slowly ferment."
He looked at the street figures such as the horses, minions, and gangsters standing on the corner of the street, and when the two of them walked past here, they were all scanned by these people with undisguised eyes, as if to confirm the identities of the two of them.
Not only that, but the katana, which these street minions used to wear most to pretend to be intimidating, have now been collectively replaced with maces, baseball bats, machetes and other weapons.
Seemingly overnight, the katana went from being a forced artifact to a "controlled weapon".
"Now that Mr. Inkshadow's bounty order is in a big swing in the city, he likes to wear a katana, and it's not surprising that these thugs change weapons to avoid suspicion and to avoid being mistaken for wanted criminals by others."
Lin Mo explained softly, his face was calm and calm, and he didn't seem to have anything to do with this Mr. Ink Shadow at all.
Kitagawa Hao nodded slightly, and sighed with emotion:
"It is estimated that other places are similar to here, everyone wants to get that 100 million, but unfortunately, Mr. Moying's true identity and appearance have not been exposed until now."
"Well, that's what we're here for today." Lin Mo said meaningfully.
In the end, he also felt a little emotional in his heart.
Night City has always been a chaotic ecosystem, and rarely is it so "unified" as it is now.
Unexpectedly, just because of such an abrupt bounty order, a little order was born in the chaos.
This is undoubtedly a disaster for the intermediary people who are accustomed to maintaining this "ecological balance".
For example, the middleman who hides in the pachinko shop on Twist Street - Kazuko Okada.
After chatting with Kitagawa Hao, the two came to the familiar pachinko shop.
Lin Mo stopped in front of the door for a moment, didn't hesitate, walked in directly, and went straight to the elegant room.
The bodyguard guarding in front of the curtain saw his arrival, and didn't say anything, getting out of the way and letting the two in.
Walking indoors, Lin Mo smelled the familiar aroma of tea, which was also mixed with a few unpleasant wisps of smoke.
The light in the elegant room was dim, there was only a rectangular lampstand, and Wakako, dressed in casual clothes, sat on the desk as usual, not surprised by Lin Mo's visit.
"Kid, it's nice to meet you, we haven't seen each other in a while, how are you doing?" Wakako greeted him gently.
Lin Mo bowed slightly, and responded with a smile:
"It's not too good, but it's not too bad either."
With a warm smile, Kazuko looked at Lin Mo quietly with cloudy eyes wearing reading glasses, and this vague gaze made Lin Mo feel like he was being targeted by a poisonous scorpion, which was quite uncomfortable.
"I'd love to catch up with you and have a chat, but unfortunately, I'm so busy with what's happened lately, and I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I can't talk to you about some family things... So, kid, are you here to deal with some trouble? ”
Her tone was still so unhurried, that she couldn't hear the eagerness of "hurrying" at all, but smiled meaningfully, and asked in a low voice:
"For example, about Mr. Inkshadow..."
The atmosphere of the private room sank in an instant, like a dark cloud sweeping over the clear sky like a wash, and the air became extremely solemn.
Lin Mo was still calm, his hands were hidden in his coat pockets, and he straightened up and looked down at Wageko who was sitting in the chair.
"Did you guess it all? Mother-in-law. ”
Of the intermediaries he has come into contact with so far, I'm afraid that only Wakako knows his true identity.
And today's visit is also to solve this matter.
"You didn't hide it from me in the first place, did you?" Kakako said with a pleasant face:
"There is not much information about Mr. Moying on the road, my old wife happened to work with him once or twice, and it is normal to know him, but I really didn't expect it, he really realized his original wish, and did not become a nobody, but really became famous in the world."
"But the price behind this is not small." Lin Mo said.
"Yes, 100 million, the whole city is messed up, everyone wants to chase their dreams, everyone is..."He Gezi said with emotion, her eyes narrowed slightly and stared at Lin Mo:
"I'm too old to want to get involved in this kind of thing, and I'm still waiting to deal with a lot of trouble caused by this bounty... I can still resist the temptation of 100 million, kid, before I change my mind, you can leave first, let's try to contact each other as little as possible. ”
Lin Mo smiled indifferently, and understood that this was Kazuko's eviction order.
However, he is not surprised, now his other identity can be said to be in the stage of "everyone shouting and fighting", as an intermediary, Wakako naturally understands the truth of staying out of the matter.
100 million, she may be greedy.
But she also understands that being involved with the company is seeking skin with the tiger.
Therefore, Lin Mo was not worried that the other party would destroy the Great Wall because of this money and destroy the foundation he had laid for so many years.
However, that wasn't what he's here for today.
"100 million may not be tempting, but what if I multiply it tenfold... Mother-in-law. Lin Mo said in a low voice, the corners of his mouth slightly pursed into a shallow smile.
