Cao Weida’s eyes were fixed on the Slacking Points number, unable to figure out how these extra ten points came about.
Originally after the lottery draw there were still 5 Slacking Points left, a total of eight days had passed, two days didn’t count, six days at eight points each is 48 Slacking Points, adding up should be 53 points, so why ten extra?
What had he done in these eight days?
Thinking carefully, there seemed to be quite a few things.
Killed one little devil and two Chinese collaborators, and last night killed two more little devils.
Helped several people get rescued from the little devils’ hands.
Did a business deal with Fujita little devil.
Oh right, also beat Kui Biao badly, the ruthless kind.
So, among these things, which one caused the increase in Slacking Points?
Could it be killing those two little devils last night?
But that doesn’t seem right, previously he also killed one, and the next day when he harvested Slacking Points he specifically checked, there were no extras.
After that he got lazy about checking, since he couldn’t draw anyway, until now.
“Cao’er, Cao’er?” His shoulder was shaken, Cao Weida came back to his senses and saw Duomen looking at him worriedly.
“Master Duo, what’s up.” Cao Weida asked doubtfully after snapping back.
Seeing Cao Weida back to his senses, Duomen relaxed, rolled his eyes and said, “You’re asking me what’s up, I should be asking you.”
“I was talking to you just now and you ignored me, I thought you’d lost your soul, what were you thinking about so intently.”
“I was just thinking about who exactly is behind this.” He definitely wouldn’t mention the system, not to Duomen, even if his own mom were alive, he wouldn’t reveal a single word.
“Got evidence?” Duomen raised his eyebrows.
“Master Duo, think about it, this area is under you and me, who on the streets doesn’t know?”
“If it were just me, fine, I’m just a newbie, small-timer, but you’re somewhat reputable on the streets at least.”
“Before everyone gave each other face and followed the rules, but today not only Wang Mazi operating on our turf, but also a pickpocket gang showed up, looks deliberate no matter how you see it.”
Hearing Cao Weida’s words, Duomen was silent for a moment, then nodded: “What you say makes sense, it does seem like someone deliberately stirring trouble.”
Saying that, he looked at Cao Weida strangely, making Cao Weida puzzled, “Master Duo, why are you looking at me.”
“What do you think.” Duomen said irritably: “Think about what you’ve done these past few days, who you’ve offended.”
“Master Duo, you mean”
Duomen nodded: “Think it over yourself.”
“Got it, I understand.” Cao Weida grinned, no need to think, he’d done plenty these days, but on the surface, besides Kui Biao and them, who else.
Kui Biao is Western Hegemon Fu Decheng’s man, Fu Decheng runs rogue thugs trafficking people, raping women, opening casinos, operating illegal prostitutes, huge underworld force in the Tianqiao area.
Wanting to gather some pickpockets is way too easy.
Before, Cao Weida wanted to blow wind for Ono Shiota to take care of Fu Decheng, but Ono Shiota didn’t agree.
Though, probably greeted Fu Decheng’s backer.
Fu Decheng doesn’t dare deal with him openly, so using dirty tricks to mess with him is totally normal.
Damn it, this old man hasn’t come for you yet, and you’re already trying to block me!
Fine, we’ll see how it plays out!
You don’t dare kill me, but I dare kill you!
“Figured it out?”
“Hey, you’ve pointed it out so clearly, how could I not get it.”
“So what do we do next.” Duomen had previously reminded Cao Weida, either don’t do it, or do it thoroughly!
See, not doing it thoroughly, and now the backlash comes.
Cao Weida narrowed his eyes, “Put on a show, disperse the crowd first.”
Even if wanting to kill Fu Decheng and them, can’t say it here, endure it for now, later who wins depends on ability.
Duomen gave him a deep look, nodded, took out the notebook and started recording each victim’s info one by one, promising to do his utmost to solve the case, and notify them one by one once solved.
Note, utmost effort, not guaranteed.
The victims understood too, these days catching pickpockets is really not easy, they might just be passing through, steal and run, where do you catch them?
One by one could only chalk it up to bad luck, curse the pickpockets’ ancestors eighteen generations, but that’s all.
Once the crowd dispersed, Ba Wan bounced over, “Master Duo, these thieves are too hateful, want me to say hello to my dad? My dad has a lot of pull in Beiping, he can definitely find out info on these pickpockets!”
Though speaking to Duomen, her eyes kept glancing at Cao Weida.
Duomen marveled inwardly, gave Cao Weida a strange look, thinking, Young Miss of the Xian Family couldn’t have taken a liking to Cao Weida, could she?
Gotta say, this kid does look devilishly handsome, comparable to Master Duo in his youth.
On his lips he politely declined: “Miss Xian, no need to trouble your father, he’s quite busy too.”
“Of course, if you tell your dad about today’s encounter, I won’t stop you.”
Cao Weida: “.”
As expected of you, Master Duo, calling me sly, I think you’re the slyest!
Wants her to help but without owing favors.
“I definitely have to tell my dad,” Ba Wan tugged at her slashed pocket, stomped her foot angrily, “This is my favorite outfit, now I can’t wear it!”
“These pickpockets are too hateful, I must tattle to daddy!”
Duomen sucked his teeth, no wonder she’s a pampered young miss, such good clothes, such fine material, just the pocket slashed and she can’t wear it.
These days, look around, who isn’t wearing patched clothes?
If it were ordinary folk, wouldn’t touch it until holidays!
Fine, she’s rich, she can do as she pleases, we just envy.
Not quite, Master Duo now has some small money too, after two more deals, replace this inside-worn-eighteen-times outfit, be lavish for once!
After grumbling a bit, Ba Wan’s attention turned to Cao Weida, “You’re Cao Weida, right, I remember, you’re new? Do you know a Zheng Chaoyang, he’s a police officer in your bureau too.”
“I’ve been here over half a year, not really new, as for Zheng Chaoyang, know him somewhat, why, Miss Xian knows Zheng Chaoyang?”
He and Zheng Chaoyang were beyond just knowing, not knowing each other inside out, but had considerable friendship.
But this can’t be said openly, not that Zheng Chaoyang shouldn’t draw attention, just Cao Weida doesn’t want more people knowing their ties.
“Yeah, Big Brother Chaoyang has been coming to our house a lot lately, pretty familiar with me.”
Ba Wan chattered on crisply, her voice pleasant to the ear.
But her words felt like making conversation, seeming to want to chat with Cao Weida.
Cao Weida responded mildly, he hadn’t thought of cozying up to Xian Dengkui, but didn’t refuse either.
Especially this Ba Wan girl, he genuinely liked.
Don’t misunderstand, just pure appreciation. Believe it or not, Old Cao believes it anyway.
Unfortunately, before chatting much, a car pulled up beside Xian Yi, the passenger side a forty-something butler got out and whispered something in Xian Yi’s ear.
Xian Yi pouted, looking unhappy, but nodded and got in the car: “Cao Weida, can I call you Brother Weida from now on? I’m heading back first, come play at my house sometime, we have lots of fun foreign gadgets!”
Cao Weida smiled and replied, “Sure, I’ll visit when I get the chance.”
“Bye-bye.” Xian Yi waved reluctantly.
“Bye-bye.”
Tsk, something off with this Xian Yi, could she have a crush on me?
Can’t be she sticks to every guy she meets, right?
Shouldn’t she like Zheng Chaoyang?
Oh, she said he’s been coming lately, meaning not before?
So current Xian Yi hasn’t fallen for Zheng Chaoyang yet?
While he was lost in thought, Duomen beside him lowered his voice imitating: “Brother Weida, come play at my house sometime.”
Cao Weida: “.”
“Master Duo, your voice is perfect for opera,” Cao Weida said speechlessly.
“Hahaha” Duomen laughed heartily, slapped Cao Weida’s shoulder hard, teased: “You kid, not bad, even eating can run into peach blossom luck.”
“Let me tell you kid, from my experience, this Young Miss of the Xian Family is clearly interested in you.”
“Keep it up, if you really win the beauty, you’ll skyrocket, riches and glory within reach!”
Why does Zheng Chaoyang cooperate with Xian Dengkui on smuggling?
Because Xian Dengkui has underworld ties!
On the surface, Xian Dengkui is a proper businessman, running Da Bei Pharmaceutical Company business.
But everyone knows that’s just one of his identities.
Xian Dengkui family runs underground banks and casinos, wouldn’t have underworld background would be weird.
Running Da Bei Pharmaceutical Company without white-collar connections absolutely won’t work.
White-collar and underworld, Xian Dengkui dominates both, calling him immensely wealthy is no exaggeration.
And most enviably, Xian Dengkui has only this one daughter, future family assets obviously all go to Xian Yi.
Whoever marries Xian Yi gets beauty and wealth in full harvest.
Cao Weida speechless, shot back: “Master Duo, don’t mention experience, if you’re saying that, can you first get yourself a wife before talking, otherwise, really no convincing power.”
