Chapter Seventy-Four: Exchange of Information
Mrs. White's house is quite large.
It's a three-story villa, and the first floor looks a bit like an auditorium, or hotel lobby, and it's very empty and can accommodate a lot of people.
The second floor is more private, and according to Mrs. White, only friends or business associates approved by Mr. White are allowed to go upstairs, which means that almost everyone who can go to the second floor is inextricably linked to the Sharks.
And Jiang Lu, under her leadership, came directly to the third floor of the villa, which is the usual residence of Mr. and Mrs. White.
Except for the bodyguards, or Mr. White's cronies, almost no one has ever set foot here, and even Mrs. White's close friends often only stop on the second floor, waiting for her to come downstairs to meet her.
Mrs. White's boudoir had a spacious balcony with a wooden chaise longue in the middle so that she could soak up a comfortable sunbath at any time.
Jiang Lu didn't know the specific geographical location of the manor, so when he sat in the car, he couldn't get the first insight into the surrounding environment, and it wasn't until now that he found out that the manor was actually built by the sea, and from the balcony of Mrs. White's bedroom on the back of the villa, he could see the sea.
The blue coastline is in full view, and the joy of the men and women playing on the beach blows directly in front of Jiang Lu with the salty and wet sea breeze.
"It's a nice environment."
Jiang Lu sat on the recliner and enjoyed the scenery in front of him with satisfaction, he had lived in the inland city of Chishan City for more than 20 years, and he had never seen the sea, even in his previous life, the sea he saw was often mixed with red magma.
By this time, Mrs. White had changed into more comfortable close-fitting pajamas, and for some reason, her walking posture looked a little unnatural.
She leaned against the door frame and smiled, "I thought you would be more surprised." ”
"Why?"
"Because it's the most luxurious villa in the West Bank, even the mayor can't live in a house like that."
Mrs. White replied, "I thought you would be pleased." ”
"What?!"
Jiang Lu suddenly stood up from the recliner and asked solemnly:
"Do you think that's what I'm with you for? You're insulting me! You make me feel sick! ”
In the face of Jiang Lu's sudden attack, Mrs. White was obviously a little panicked, she kept apologizing, trying to reassure Jiang Lu: "No, of course I didn't mean that, look at what I said!" What a bastard I am! ”
"Hmph." Jiang Lu snorted coldly and sat back down.
Mrs. White stood behind him, pressed her hands on his shoulders, and massaged him: "Don't be angry darling. ”
"Okay." Jiang Lu reached out and put his hand on the back of her hand: "I admit that what I said just now was a bit excessive, but you did hurt me. ”
"I'm sorry... I think I'll have to make it up to you. ”
But speaking of compensation, Mrs. White was a little troubled for a while, and years of pampering had made her forget how to express her apologies, and after thinking about it, she took out a credit card:
"There's a million in it, and you'll tell me if it's not enough."
"What words? What words this is? Who are you and me?! ”
Jiang Lu put the credit card in his pocket, and his face was full of anger: "Don't take it as an example." ”
"I knew you wouldn't be mad at me." Mrs. White patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
The credit card was a bonus, but Jiang Lu didn't forget the purpose of his visit.
So he changed his words: "Speaking of which, why didn't I see Little White?" ”
"Little White?" Mrs. White apparently did not react to this title.
"Yes, that's my affectionate name for him, after all, I'll be his stepfather from now on."
Jiang Lu replied as a matter of course.
"Well, but you'd better not call it that in front of him."
"Why?"
"He's very taboo about others using some... Call him by name that doesn't fit his identity, and even I have to call him by his name. ”
"I remember, you're so sweet."
Jiang Lu rewarded Mrs. White with a deep kiss.
"And what about others?"
Mrs. White reluctantly straightened up and said casually, "Probably busy with business, he is often away from home." ”
"In that case, tell me about him while he hasn't come back yet."
Jiang Lu showed a kind smile that did not match his age: "You know, if you want to get along well with your child, you have to know everything about him, and I will love him as much as I love you." ”
"Huh?" When Mrs. White heard this, she felt jealous in her heart, and lay directly into Jiang Lu's arms: "It's okay to love him, but you can't give him the love that was supposed to be given to me." ”
"Of course!" Jiang Lu pinched her nose.
So Mrs. White began to tell about Mr. White.
......
In the evening, Jiang Lu seized the opportunity and slipped out of the third floor.
He found the sword-wielding man who was patrolling the garden and took him to a secluded place.
"Is it really you? What's going on? ”
The sword-wielder was very surprised, if Jiang Lu didn't come to him, he would already think that he had seen it wrong in the afternoon.
"It's a long story, but I've already broken inside!"
Jiang Lu didn't want to explain too much about this.
The sword-wielding man looked at him strangely: "Speaking of which, why are you dressed so sassy?" ”
At this time, Jiang Lu was dressed in a purple striped suit, and his hair was also taken care of, he really looked like this, if he didn't know his details, he might really think that he was rich or young.
"My sister said that purple is more charming."
"Sister? Is that woman White's sister? ”
Jiang Lu waved his hand: "It's not important, don't talk about these things that you don't have, let's talk about the information I have first, I came out by hanging out, I can't stay for a long time, otherwise it will be easy to arouse suspicion." ”
"Understood."
The sword-wielder nodded: "Let's talk about my discovery first, White does have some demonic powers, as for the specifics, it is not clear for the time being, but it must be related to the contract." ”
"Contract?" Jiang Lu was puzzled.
"That's right." The sword-wielder explained: "The Sharks made their fortune on loan sharks, and it is said that no one on the West Bank would dare not pay back White's money.
The people who have borrowed his money have signed a strange agreement written on leather, and according to the people who work here, it is like having magical powers, and the subconscious will force them to act according to the agreement.
At first, no one took him seriously, and many people took loans from him, but were not prepared to pay them back, and then these people suffered various degrees of misfortune, ranging from serious injuries to violent deaths of their families.
Now the news spread that White was protected by the gods, and those who had borrowed his money could only try their best to make up enough interest to pay him back, and he made a lot of money by relying on this business.
Some people really can't pay it yet, so he used it as a threat, changed the content of the agreement, gained many subordinates who could only be loyal to him, and established the original Shark Party. ”
"Sounds like there won't be a problem as long as you don't sign a deal with him."
"That's exactly what it was at first." The sword-wielder shook his head and explained, "But because there were so many people who thought about taking advantage of him before his abilities were revealed, he had enough strength to force others to sign an agreement with him, and that's how he brought down the other gangs."
The worst thing is that under this almost incomprehensible coercion, he does not need to doubt the loyalty of his subordinates to him at all, unless anyone who can't think of life is impatient, of course, it's useless to think about it, someone has proven that whoever signed the agreement will die a miserable death if he has a mind that is not in his favor. ”
"Tsk... It's hard. Jiang Lumo rubbed his chin.
If so, then the Shark Party can be said to be monolithic, if you want to use force, you have to face the entire gang or even the entire city, God knows how many people he has signed an agreement with, it really comes to that point, not to mention whether it can be beaten or not, even if it is a city's turnips, it has to be cut for I don't know how long.
"What about you? What did you learn? ”
Facing the sword-wielding's inquiry, Jiang Lu raised his head and smiled confidently: "I know a lot, and even White's henchmen may not know many things. ”
"Oh?" The sword-wielder became interested and changed his opinion of Jiang Lu slightly.
"I'll inquire..."Jiang Lu lowered his voice: "White was bitten by a dog when he was a child, and he has a scar on his buttocks, and he doesn't eat cheese, because his family was poor when he was a child, and he would have diarrhea if he ate too greasy things, and his underwear was bought by his mother, and it was all cartoon patterns, I thought about it, oh yes, and..."
The sword-wielding man's expression gradually began to distort...
