73: 73.Knight and Assassination
At midnight, the “Chuyun Leased Territory” was still brightly lit.
The Chuyun Government vigorously supported the drug trade within the lease, and the related opium dens and brothels flourished everywhere.
This time was prime for business, and noisy patrons in search of pleasure could be seen everywhere in the lease.
So, as Lu Li and Xiao Cha walked along the street, they weren’t particularly conspicuous.
“This dress is so uncomfortable…” Xiao Cha complained, wearing something akin to a schoolgirl’s “skirt and blouse.” She hadn’t worn a dress in a long while and felt ill at ease, constantly tugging at the back.
Lu Li, still in his long robe, had firearms strapped to his body.
At this moment, the neon sign of their destination, “Lan Guifang,” had also come into view.
“Straw Bag is entertaining Ye Rongcheng here.”
A four-story Western-style building came into view, with two rows of cheongsam-clad beauties greeting guests at the entrance, and sultry songs wafted from within.
As Xiao Cha pondered how to slip in unnoticed, Lu Li had already activated Heavenly Eye to see right through the place.
“He should be on the 4th floor, to the left, the second room.”
Through the sight of Heavenly Eye, there were ordinary human silhouettes as well as the extra bright Refining Organ Martial Artists.
But there was one figure on the 4th floor that shone like a light bulb.
It was so glaring, the first of its kind he had seen, and without surprise, it was likely the Marrow Cleansing Martial Artist—Ye Rongcheng.
Lu Li continued, “This man is flanked by three Refining Organ Martial Artists, and another two stand guard at the door.”
Xiao Cha stared with big round eyes, sizing Lu Li up and down, and cooed in a soft voice,
“You see so clearly, you must have a move similar to ‘Heavenly Eye.’~”
Lu Li just smiled slightly, not denying it.
He even had a drone on him, much harder to accept than “Heavenly Eye.”
“Let’s scope out the scene first.”
Having confirmed the target’s location, Xiao Cha didn’t rush to act but instead began to stroll around “Lan Guifang” with Lu Li.
Xiao Cha surveyed her surroundings and pointed to a small alley, saying,
“This place is connected in all directions.
In case of any emergency, we can duck in here to escape.”
Lu Li nodded repeatedly.
With Miss Police providing personal tips on criminal techniques, he naturally had to watch and learn intently.
The two ambled leisurely, resembling a couple out for a stroll, but regretfully, the Chuyun Leased Territory was not a nice place at all.
In the dark corners where the streetlights couldn’t reach lay countless dazed addicts, skeletal like the dead.
Some drug-crazed individuals rolled on the ground in agony, smashing their heads until they were bloody and battered.
Passing by such appalling scenes, they returned to the brightly lit front entrance of “Lan Guifang.”
Xiao Cha pulled out her Rolex watch, staring at the second hand as if calculating something.
Sure enough, in less than two minutes, they heard the “thud thud thud” of heavy footsteps.
“Hold me!”
Xiao Cha quickly threw herself into Lu Li’s arms, and he reflexively wrapped his arm around her waist as if they were a pair of lovebirds caught in an intimate embrace.
The footsteps grew closer, and the ground trembled faintly.
Catching a glimpse from the corner of his eye, a squad of Chuyun Soldiers was passing by.
But the one leading them was clad in a tin can-like armor…
no, more correctly, a Mecha!
Covered head to toe in thick metal, the figure looked ferocious, and with every step, the ground quivered slightly.
The chest armor was painted with a Sunrise Flag and a number 404, and the arm armor even had a heavy machine gun slung underneath!
This was nothing less than a “Human-shaped Tank!”
Thankfully, the group didn’t even glance at Lu Li and Xiao Cha but continued on their way stiffly.
Xiao Cha stepped out of Lu Li’s embrace, saying with a lingering fear,
“That was the Concession Guard.
Chuyun officials are often the targets of assassination, so the security has gotten increasingly strict.”
Lu Li curiously asked, “What powers that iron behemoth?”
“You mean a ‘Knight’?
It’s just a Marrow Cleansing Martial Artist wearing a ‘Knight Armor.’~”
“Powered by a person?”
“Yes, this is the ‘Knight’ from the Westerners, merely imitated by Chuyun.”
Xiao Cha expressed some confusion.
“You’ve been overseas and you don’t even know this?”
Lu Li coughed dryly and changed the subject.
“Let’s get moving!”
Xiao Cha rolled her eyes but didn’t press further:
“The Concession Guard will patrol this area again in 15 minutes.
We need to get in and out quickly.
Do you have any suggestions?”
They needed to find a way to blend into “Lan Guifang”, reach the fourth floor, eliminate their target, and then make their escape.
During this process, who knew how many people they would have to face, not to mention that the brothel had its Protectors…
Just thinking about it was troublesome.
Lu Li looked up at the sky and said, “Have you heard of an attack method that comes from above?”
“Eh?” Xiao Cha’s face was full of question marks…
but she quickly realized what he meant: “You mean using the ‘Spirit’…”
“That’s right.”
Lu Li nodded, took off his long gown, and underneath was a set of black ninja clothes!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the same time, in the “Lotus Hall” on the fourth floor of Lan Guifang.
In the faint sound of singing, Luo Xiaoyun held up a bottle with both hands, respectfully pouring a full glass of whisky for Ye Rongcheng.
“Mr.
Ye, once you’re finished here, I will bring that girl Xiao Cha to your estate.”
Ye Rongcheng downed the amber liquid in his glass and smiled.
“I appreciate that.”
After saying this, the conversation ended there, and Luo Xiaoyun hurriedly poured another glass of alcohol, eagerly saying:
“You know about the Luo Family; which surrounding town doesn’t have our establishment?
Selling ‘Ice Soul Powder’ through us, you won’t be disappointed!”
Ye Rongcheng gave a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
“The factory in the lease can produce 500 tons every month.
How much can your Luo Family handle?”
“500 tons…” Upon hearing the production volume, Luo Xiaoyun gasped in shock!
Ice drugs can’t be consumed like food, in the entire Jingjin Region, being able to sell 5 tons in a month would be extraordinary.
At this moment, Ye Rongcheng poured a drink for Luo Xiaoyun, scaring him into nodding and bowing hastily.
“Expand your vision a bit, don’t just focus on this little Jingjin area.
Your Luo Family has channels; you can ship to Jinling.”
“Jinling…
That’ll get people killed…
The Dragon Sect is there!”
Luo Xiaoyun was sweating profusely…
The previous Chuyun Envoy was assassinated by the Dragon Sect; daring to sell ice drugs on their turf was seeking death!
Seeing Luo Xiaoyun frozen, Ye Rongcheng patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
“Alright, go call some beautiful girls in, and play the song ‘Moonlit Night’.”
“Oh, right away.”
Luo Xiaoyun snapped back to reality and hurriedly went to make arrangements.
As soon as he left, someone on the side said:
“Mr.
Ye, this guy is a complete idiot.
Can he really be a distributor?”
This person’s accent was strange, and he was short in stature.
But Ye Rongcheng was clearly very cautious and promptly said sternly:
“Second Lieutenant Sakata, as the saying goes, ‘Many hands make light work.’ In the early stages of a big venture, we need all sorts of supporters.
Besides…
idiots are easier to control.”
“Mr.
Ye makes sense; I’ve learned something.”
“Far from it, Second Lieutenant Sakata is too modest.”
The two raised their glasses to each other, and just as they finished their drinks, they heard a seductive female voice sing:
“[The clouds disperse, the bright moon shines upon the arrivals, united and content under tonight’s enchanting moon~]”
Sakata gently clapped to the rhythm and laughed.
“Thank you, Mr.
Ye, for choosing this favorite song of mine.”
Ye Rongcheng declared loudly, “With alcohol and music, how can we be without beauty?”
As his voice fell, the sound of a woman’s tender laughter came from outside the door, presumably Luo Xiaoyun bringing the beautiful girls over.
But just at that moment, two dark shadows suddenly dropped from outside the window!
They were two people dressed in black ninja clothes, one with a curvaceous and slender figure, carrying another tall and lean person…
Four dark gun barrels were also pointed their way!
