Black Spade A's Debut

"What a lousy club! Even if you beg me to join, I won't come!" Jiang Mubei cursed as he walked out of the interview room.

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment; it was obvious that he hadn't passed the interview...

Isn't this ridiculous? What if you're the only one who came to play along and got approved, but the two main people involved didn't?

Although he didn't know Jiang Mubei's level, Xu Linsen, as the boss of Spade, must be an A-level. Wouldn't such a person be a natural top-notch henchman for the gang?

If we were to clash with the Dragon Mark Society in the future, wouldn't Xu Linsen alone be enough to wipe them out?

Qing Chen silently sent a message to Luo Wanyai, asking him to come over quickly to protect these two people and open a back door for them.

He sighed inwardly. Two big names from the Spade Club came here secretly to join the Art Troupe, and he had to pull strings to get them in. What kind of nonsense was this?

At this moment, Xu Linsen had already entered the interview room. He glanced at the "Be Kind to Others" sign hanging on the wall, and then quietly sat down in the chair.

At this moment, Xu Linsen was also unable to describe his feelings. Since Jiang Mubei could not join, there was no point in him sneaking in alone. He might as well just quietly observe from the sidelines.

No more!

Xiao Qi glanced at Xu Linsen's information, then casually looked at her phone. "Mr. Xu Xiaosen, right?"

Xu Linsen nodded. "Yes."

Xiao Qi asked, "As a genetically engineered warrior, why did you choose our Art Troupe?"

Xu Linsen: "I'd be happy to."

Xiao Qi clapped her hands. "I love this kind of unique personality! Congratulations on joining our Art Troupe!"

Xu Linsen: "???"

Zhang Qinghuan: "Art! That's such an artistic answer!"

They were talking inside the interview room when Luo Wanyai caught up from outside...

It must be said that Lao Luo does everything wholeheartedly in whatever Qing Chen asks him to do. No matter what he was doing before, he would immediately put everything down and complete Qing Chen's instructions first.

Luo Wanyai stepped into the corridor and asked first, "Which one of you is Mr. Jiang Xiaobei?"

Jiang Mubei was taken aback for a moment. "I... I am."

"Oh my, I'm so happy to hear that a gene warrior like you has joined our family!" Luo Wanyai said enthusiastically.

Jiang Mubei paused for two seconds, then pointed inside. "I just got rejected."

"It's alright, they must have made a mistake," Luo Wanyai said. "But we also need to make it clear that even gene warriors who come to the Art Troupe have to start from the bottom. However, I believe in your abilities, and you two will definitely rise to the upper echelons very quickly!"

Jiang Mubei was completely bewildered. What was going on? How did the plot and attitude suddenly take such a 180-degree turn?

Qing Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Luo Wanyai arrive. When it was his turn to enter the interview room, Zhang Qinghuan glanced at him and said, "He's too skinny. He's definitely not club material. Next!"

Qing Chen: "???"

This time, Zhang Qinghuan was completely stumped. He had just arranged for Lao Luo to get Xu Linsen and Jiang Mubei in, but he himself failed the interview?!

He thought he had everything under control and didn't even tell Luo Wanyai about it!

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, "I know Lao Luo, and I've already made arrangements with him."

Zhang Qinghuan: "I interviewed over a hundred people today, and half of them said they knew us. Don't try that on me!"

Luo Wanyai, who had just calmed Xu Linsen and Jiang Mubei down outside the door, changed his expression upon hearing the commotion inside!

After apologizing to the two Spades, he hurried inside and said, "This is indeed a friend. When we were fighting the Blackwater Gang before, he even helped us as an informant, providing clues. Let's get him officially admitted to the gang as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll do it right away," Xiao Qi said hurriedly.

Only at this moment did Luo Wanyai finally breathe a sigh of relief...

He said to Xiao Qi, "That's enough for today's interview. Xiaosen, Xiaobei, and Chen Sui, you'll be working with Zhang Qinghuan from now on. He's the boss of our Art Troupe, and he'll be guiding you."

Xu Linsen and Jiang Mubei exchanged a glance. Even a fool could see that the arrogant Zhang Qinghuan was clearly a puppet, while Luo Wanyai was the real mastermind behind the Art Troupe.

Will it be difficult for the three of them to get close to the core of the Art Troupe if they follow Zhang Qinghuan?

You see, these two joined the club because they wanted to find out what the people behind the Art Troupe were up to and who the person Yang Yang was talking about really was.

Before the two could say anything, Zhang Qinghuan started complaining. "Why am I the one who has to mentor all the newcomers? Why don't you guys mentor them? And this Chen Sui guy doesn't look like he can fight."

Luo Wanyai almost suffocated on the spot.

He looked at Zhang Qinghuan as if she were a fool.

If the boss is right, then those in front of him are the two big shots of Spade, as well as the parents from the Parent's Association. With these three people around, Zhang Qinghuan can practically dominate the entire Lower Three Districts; it would be difficult for him to die even if he wanted to!

You have to see if these three agree before you can even die!

As a result, this guy didn't even appreciate it!

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Linsen and Jiang Mubei couldn't be exposed to too many secrets of the Parent's Association for the time being, Luo Wanyai would have liked to keep these three by his side as bodyguards at all times, and he would be willing to kowtow to them a few times every day!

Luo Wanyai looked at Zhang Qinghuan and raised his voice. "Boss Zhang, you are the most intelligent person in our club and the core of our club culture. Newcomers should naturally be led by you so that they can quickly understand the charm of the Art Troupe."

Zhang Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense!"

Luo Wanyai: "..."

He didn't intend to waste any more words with the artist, but instead changed the subject. "Xiao Mengqian got a tip that there's a group of people hiding in the Great Hammer building next door who specialize in kidnapping children. It's said they not only steal children, but also snatch them. Xiao Qi, take some men and take them down. After confirming there's no mistake, bury them all."

"Okay," Xiao Qi said.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Linsen suddenly said calmly, "How about this, we've just joined the Art Troupe, let us do this, consider it a Pledge of Allegiance."

Before Luo Wanyai could say anything, Zhang Qinghuan patted his chest and said, "What I hate most in my life are these child sellers. I'll take them with me, don't worry."

Luo Wanyai pondered for a moment, "Okay!"

Zhang Qinghuan gathered about ten of his men, grabbed their weapons, and headed out.

Xu Linsen whispered to Jiang Mubei from the back of the group, "You've seen it too, this Zhang Qinghuan is just a loudmouth puppet. Following him won't get us to the core, so we need to find a way to get close to Luo Wanyai as soon as possible."

Jiang Mubei asked in a low voice, "Boss, could the person Yang Yang mentioned be Luo Wanyai?"

"No," Xu Linsen shook his head. "You know how proud Yang Yang is. The people she praises won't stand in the spotlight so easily. I suspect they might be watching us from behind right now."

As he spoke, Jiang Mubei suddenly turned around and saw Chen Sui smiling awkwardly behind him.

Xu Linsen said, "When I said 'behind,' I meant in general terms, referring to those watching us from the shadows, not specifically Chen Sui..."

"Oh, I thought he didn't look like it either," Jiang Mubei said in a low voice. "Then what do we do later?"

Xu Linsen said, "We've taken action against those child traffickers before anyone else. The Art Troupe will definitely expand, which will provide many opportunities to make contributions. Once we've made many contributions, we'll naturally enter the inner circle. At that time, we might just meet that person."

Jiang Mubei said excitedly, "By then, he probably won't know that we were invited by Yang Yang. If it really is that Bai Zhou boss that Yang Yang likes, we can help her see if this person is two-faced. Our Black Spade girls can't be bullied by outsiders."

Qing Chen was at the back of the group, listening to the two of them plotting a whole bunch of things right in front of him. He was trying so hard not to laugh that his face was practically numb.

At that very moment, Gao Yang of the Dragon Mark Society was downstairs in the Dove Cage, watching Zhang Qinghuan's departing figure, and made a phone call, "Boss, this Art Troupe seems to have some mental issues. They do seem to have expansion plans, but they don't pose a threat to us yet. I've found out some things; their boss is called Zhang Qinghuan, and he's just an F-Class gene warrior."

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yidong, the president of the Dragon Mark Society, said, "Yes, very good."

Gao Yang asked, "Boss, can I go back now?"

Chen Yidong: "Why did you come back? I sent you for an interview today so you could infiltrate the Art Troupe."

Gao Yang: "... I didn't pass the interview."

Chen Yidong: "... Useless! Go find a way to build connections!"

Just as Gao Yang was giving the tip, Zhang Qinghuan arrived downstairs at the Great Hammer. Xiao Mengqian was already waiting there. He whispered, "Those people are in rooms 1206 and 1207, and they're all armed. They don't know yet that their identities have been reported, nor do they know that we're in charge of these things."

"Alright, brothers, follow me!" Zhang Qinghuan waved his hand and rushed inside.

Upon arriving on the 12th floor, he looked at the tightly closed doors 06 and 07 and made tactical hand gestures that even he couldn't understand.

"Big brother, what does that gesture mean?" The underlings were all dumbfounded.

Zhang Qinghuan's face immediately fell. "Don't you think this is cool, artistic? Let's sneak up and wait for my command. I'll say three, two, one, and we'll move..."

The countdown to "three, two, one" had barely ended when Zhang Qinghuan's mouth dropped open as she watched Xu Linsen and Jiang Mubei burst through the door.

The next moment, the thugs' cries of agony came from inside the house.

Zhang Qinghuan's expression changed. "Why the hell aren't they obeying orders! Charge! Charge! Cover them!"

Ten minutes later, Zhang Qinghuan led a group of people to escort the 12 people downstairs.

Luo Wanyai and Xiao Qi waited downstairs. "So, did you find any evidence?"

"Found them," Zhang Qinghuan nodded. "Their phones are full of transaction records, videos of children, and buyer payment and chat logs. These people have sold quite a few children, all abducted from the Lower Three Districts of City 22. The key point is that these children weren't just given away for adoption; they were even given to some important figures as 'little pages'."

Luo Wanyai's expression changed. He knew what the little pageboy's slang meant. "Take them all out and bury them."

"Okay," Xiao Qi said with a big smile.

After speaking, Luo Wanyai looked at Xu Linsen, Jiang Mubei, and Qing Chen. He thought for a moment and then asked Zhang Qinghuan, "So, what do you think? The newcomers are pretty good, right?"

Jiang Mubei's eyes lit up. They had just taken down twelve people with just the two of them. Their skills were definitely not to be underestimated. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave them under Zhang Qinghuan's command?

If Luo Wanyai knew how capable they were in battle, he would definitely consider "training" them more, so that he could leave Zhang Qinghuan, that idiot.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qinghuan pointed at Xu Linsen and Jiang Mubei and said, "These two newcomers you gave me are far too reckless. If I hadn't covered for them, they might have died in there!"

Jiang Mubei: "???"

Xu Linsen: "???"
