At midnight, the "Izumo Concession" was still brightly lit.
The Izumo government heavily supported the drug industry within the concession, leading to the proliferation of opium dens and brothels.
This was the peak time for customers, and noisy patrons could be seen everywhere in the concession.
Therefore, Lu Li and Xiao Cha walked along the street without attracting much attention.
"Wan Qing's dress looks so awkward..."
Xiao Cha was wearing a "skirt" similar to that of a female student, as if she hadn't worn a skirt in a long time. She seemed uncomfortable and kept pinching her buttocks.
Lu Li was still wearing that long robe, with guns strapped to his body.
At this moment, the neon sign of the destination, "Lan Kwai Fong," came into view.
"It was here that the idiot hosted Ye Rongcheng."
What comes into view is a four-story Western-style building, with two rows of beautiful women in cheongsams standing at the entrance to greet guests, and the faint sound of lewd songs drifting over.
Just as Xiao Cha was figuring out how to sneak in, Lu Li had already activated his Heavenly Eye and seen everything clearly.
"It should be on the fourth floor, the second room on the left."
In the vision of the Heavenly Eye, there are both ordinary human figures and exceptionally bright Organ Refining artists who have refined their internal organs.
Only one figure stood on the fourth floor, shining as brightly as a light bulb.
This is the first time I've seen someone so dazzling. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Ye Rongcheng, the Marrow Cleansing Martial Artist.
Lu Li continued, "This person was accompanied by three internal Organ Refining martial artists, and two more were standing guard at the door."
Xiao Cha stared with her big, round eyes, scrutinized Lu Li for a moment, and said in a sweet voice:
"You can see so clearly, you must have some kind of [Heavenly Eye] technique~"
Lu Li smiled slightly and did not deny it.
They even carry drones on their own bodies; that's much harder to accept than [Heavenly Eye].
"Let's scout it out first."
Having identified their target, Xiao Cha didn't rush to act. Instead, she pulled Lu Li and strolled around "Lan Kwai Fong".
Xiao Cha looked around and pointed to a small alley, saying:
"This place is a maze of passageways; if anything unexpected happens, we can slip through and escape."
Lu Li nodded repeatedly. Of course, he had to watch and learn carefully as the Police Flower personally instructed him on crime-solving techniques.
The two strolled leisurely, like a couple going shopping, but unfortunately, the Izumo Concession was really not a good place.
In the dimly lit corners where the streetlights couldn't reach, countless drug addicts lay dazed and skeletal figures.
Some, overcome by withdrawal, rolled on the ground, banging their heads against the earth until they were bloody and mangled.
After passing through a series of unsightly scenes, the two returned to the brightly lit main entrance of "Lan Kwai Fong".
Xiao Cha took out the Rolex watch and stared at the second hand, seemingly calculating something.
Sure enough, less than two minutes later, heavy footsteps could be heard.
Hold me!
Xiao Cha quickly threw herself into Lu Li's arms, and Lu Li also wrapped his arms around her waist, just like a pair of lovebirds making love.
The footsteps grew closer, and the ground trembled slightly.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a squad of Izumo soldiers approaching.
But the leader was wearing a suit of armor that looked like a metal can... no, it should be called a mecha!
He was completely encased in thick metal from head to toe, looking extremely ferocious, and the ground trembled slightly with every step he took.
The chest armor features the Rising Sun Flag paint scheme and the number 404, and a heavy machine gun is mounted under the arm armor!
This is practically a "human tank"!
Fortunately, the group didn't even glance at Lu Li and his companion, and walked straight past them.
Xiao Cha left Lu Li's embrace, still shaken, and said:
"This is the foreign concession's security force. High-ranking officials in Izumo are frequently targeted for assassination, so their defenses are becoming increasingly stringent."
Lu Li asked curiously, "What powers that iron lump?"
"You mean [Knight]? Like Marrow Cleansing Martial Artist wearing [Knight Armor]?"
"Supported by people?"
"Yes, that's a foreigner's [knight] style, which Izumo just copied."
Xiao Cha asked, somewhat puzzled, "You're overseas, and you don't even know this?"
Lu Li coughed lightly and changed the subject, saying, "Let's get started!"
Xiao Cha rolled her eyes, but didn't delve into it further.
"The concession guards will patrol this area again in 15 minutes. We need to get in and out quickly. Do you have any suggestions?"
I need to find a way to infiltrate Lan Kwai Fong, get to the 4th floor, kill the person, and then escape.
I don't know how many people I'll have to deal with during that time, and brothels also have guards... Just thinking about it is troublesome.
Lu Li looked up at the sky and said, "Have you ever heard of a fighting style that descends from the sky?"
"Huh?" Xiao Cha looked completely confused... but quickly realized, "You mean using your mind..."
"That's right."
Lu Li and took off his long robe, revealing a black night-clothes underneath!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, inside the "Furong Hall" on the 4th floor of Lan Kwai Fong.
Amidst the faint strains of singing, Luo Xiaoyun held up the bottle with both hands and respectfully poured Ye Rongcheng a glass of whiskey.
"Young Master, once you're finished with your work, I'll bring Xiao Cha to your residence."
Ye Rongcheng downed the amber liquid in his glass in one gulp and said with a smile, "You've been very thoughtful."
After saying this, she fell silent. Luo Xiaoyun quickly poured another glass of wine and said eagerly:
"You know the Luo family. Which of the surrounding counties doesn't have a shop owned by us? If you entrust the [Ice Soul Powder] to us for sale, you can't go wrong!"
Ye Rongcheng said with a half-smile, "The factories in the concession can produce 500 tons per month. How much does your Luo family want?"
"500 tons..." Upon hearing the production figure, Luo Xiaoyun gasped!
Methamphetamine can't be eaten like food. In the entire Beijing-Tianjin area, it's considered a great deal if 5 tons are shipped out in a month.
At this moment, Ye Rongcheng poured Luo Xiaoyun a glass of wine, which startled him so much that he hurriedly nodded and bowed.
"Broaden your horizons. Don't just focus on Beijing and Tianjin. Your Luo family has channels to ship goods to Nanjing."
"Jinling... you'll get beaten to death... the [Dragon Gate Sect] is right there!"
Luo Xiaoyun's forehead was covered in cold sweat...
The previous "Envoy of Izumo" was assassinated by the [Dragon Gate Sect], and he still dared to sell methamphetamine on their turf... Wasn't he courting death!
Seeing Luo Xiaoyun freeze, Ye Rongcheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Alright, go and call in a few pretty girls, and request 'Full Moon and Blooming Flowers' as well."
"Okay, sure."
Luo Xiaoyun snapped out of her daze and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.
No sooner had he left than someone nearby said:
"Ye Sang, this guy's a complete idiot. Can he really become a distributor?"
This person had an odd accent and was short in stature.
But Ye Rongcheng was clearly very cautious, and quickly said in a serious tone:
"Major Sakata, as the saying goes, 'Many hands make light work.' At the start of a major undertaking, we need all sorts of people to support us. Besides... it's easier to control an incompetent person."
"Ye Sang is right, I've learned a lot."
"Not at all, Major Sakata is too modest."
The two raised their glasses in a toast, and just as they finished drinking, a seductive female voice sang:
[The clouds disperse, the bright moon shines upon us, and we revel in this joyous reunion!]
Sakata tapped her foot lightly to the beat and smiled, "Thank you, Ye-san, for choosing my favorite song."
Ye Rongcheng said loudly, "With wine and music, how can we be without beautiful women?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a woman's giggles came from outside the door, presumably Luo Xiaoyun had brought the flower girl over.
But just then, two dark figures suddenly fell through the window!
These are two people dressed in black, one of whom is hot and slender, yet is carrying the other, who is tall and thin...
Four dark gun barrels were pointed at us!
