Chapter 139: I've Got You Wrapped Up, Old Man

  Happy birthday to Xiao Ye! Everyone come together to celebrate!

  Although he wasn't very clear about what kind of elite you and Han were, or what profession you were in, I can be sure that you must both be big shots. At least when looking for business cooperation, with just a wave of your hand, there would be at least ten people of your status or Han's who would take the initiative to contact you. So why did you choose our Luoshi Group? Another thing is, if you have your own manpower, material resources and financial resources, why not set up your own company, or a joint-stock company, and run the leisure and entertainment industry yourself?

  Luo Lin's words were actually the last layer of worry and doubt in his heart. When he figured out that Hu Yidao was a straightforward person who spoke his mind, he spoke directly and didn't fear offending him.

  It was Hu Yidao who, after hearing this, didn't get angry at all. Instead, he spoke with great magnanimity and explained the reason: "Since ancient times, trust has been mutual. Little Luo brother, I, Hu Yidao, believe in my own judgment, and even more so in Old Han's judgment. I'm telling you the truth. Although it seems like I have a lot of funds at my disposal, the so-called 'entities' under my control are just shell companies. Because my background is not clean, hmm... it's that kind of black income. As for what this black income includes, I think with your exceptional intelligence, Little Luo brother, you don't need me to list them out one by one, right? So... I've never been able to establish a company or group in my own name."

  Upon hearing this, Luolin slightly furrowed his brow, and in his heart, he became even more transparent. He suddenly realized that Hu Yidao was a Jianghu person! No wonder, the violent aura hidden under the bandit-like air on his body made Luolin feel somewhat intimidated.

  The violent and ruthless aura hidden within Hu Yidao's body was not the same as that of a martial artist who practiced fierce and brutal fist techniques, but rather a sharp and domineering aura that had been tempered through many "killing" battles, decisive, overbearing, with an extremely strong presence that made people involuntarily look at him in awe.

  Without letting Lorraine respond, Hu Yidao paused for a moment before continuing: "Recently, your city of Zhenzhou underwent a major reshuffle in the officialdom, right? This storm also implicated this side, and many officials were double-checked by the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission due to various reasons. Moreover, a new round of anti-crime campaign is brewing in Jiangnan Province... Actually, this anti-crime campaign isn't some kind of severe crackdown. Those street thugs who slash people are everywhere, but they aren't the main targets of punishment for this anti-crime campaign. The main ones are us, the people who get things done. If I'm not mistaken, in two days' time, I'll probably have some old friends from the bureau coming to invite me out for a cup of coffee..."

  When Hu Yidao finished saying all this, Lorain's heart was shocked to some extent.

  Yes, shocking.

  It's been a long time since Lorraine had this feeling.

  Just because of Hu Yidao's simple and straightforward explanation of his identity, as well as his casual mention of his current situation, Lorin was able to infer from his words that this guy was absolutely not an ordinary person! Previously, Lorin had also vaguely suspected that he was a veteran of the underworld, but she hadn't expected... him to be so powerful. Words like "big shot" kept flashing through Lorin's mind like lightning.

  The term "Hua Xia" first appeared in Guangdong Province during the late Republic of China, when warlords were vying for power and the country was plagued by war. The entire Chinese nation, with a population of hundreds of millions, did not have a dominant political power. Many heroes gathered together to form various gangs and factions, including butchers, sailors, fishermen, farmers, and even opera performers. Without the protection of a national government, these people banded together for survival, ranging from those who committed atrocities to those who were chivalrous and helped the poor. It was an era that produced both heroes and villains.

  Later, with the development of science and technology and the global economy, and the strengthening of national consciousness, these local gangs gradually disintegrated. However, there were still some conservative groups that had grown accustomed to being the dominant force in their region, and they refused to surrender. After many twists and turns, they traveled far and wide, or even crossed the ocean, and established societies with a dark nature. This was also the embryonic form of the modern Chinese underworld. It was during this time that the term "talker" emerged. The so-called "talker" referred to the big brother who managed all the affairs of the society, big or small.

  At this moment, Lorraine learned from Hu Yidao's own mouth that he was a negotiator, and naturally thought of an organized and probabilistic black society.

  Isn't this Hu Yidao the big boss of some gang?

  It's very likely!

  If this title were placed on his head, combined with the momentum on him, it would be perfectly suitable.

  However, if Hu Yidao is a leader with underworld nature, will Luo's Group encounter any trouble if they want to cooperate with him?

  At this moment, Luo Lin didn't think much and directly asked out the worry in his heart: "Dage, can you tell me what your true identity is?"

  Hu Yidao was indeed wise, of course he knew what Lorraine was referring to. He smiled and said: "Hehe, little brother Luo Lin, I don't expect you to answer me immediately. Give yourself a day's time, and reply to me by tomorrow. As for my true identity, you can go check it out. Nothing is more convincing than the truth, right?"

  Taking a deep breath, Loring saw that Hu Yidao was calm and collected, so he said: "Alright, I understand, Knife Brother. As for the cooperation, I'll consider it carefully. Putting aside other aspects, I may not have enough power to make decisions in the Luo Group for now, but in any case, I will give you a reply tomorrow."

  "Alright, let's just say this for now, Little Luo brother, we'll wait for your response."

  "Uh, goodbye."

  He hung up the phone, and Luoluo slowly closed his eyes. His mind was racing with thoughts, but he didn't say a word to Ruchuan, who was driving. About ten minutes later, the taxi came to a stop. Ruchuan turned around and said, "Mr. Luo, we've arrived at the Baiyang City Police Station. This is the main entrance. Are you getting out here?"

  "Ah, here it is." Lorraine opened her eyes, smiled at Lu Chuan and nodded, then fished out a ticket from her pocket and handed it over.

  At this time, Lu Chuan awkwardly shook his hand: "Mr. Luo, although I drive a taxi, I don't make a living from it. I came to pick you up because of Mr. Hu's arrangement. So..."

  Lorraine hesitated for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and put away the ticket: "Sorry, Mr. Lu, it's just a habit, haha."

  "It's okay, Mr. Luo, take your time. If anything happens in Baiyang City, you can contact us anytime, Mr. Hu said that no matter what the future cooperation is like, he will not change his attitude towards you. So, if there's any trouble that can't be handled, just say it." Mr. Lu said with a smile.

  "Alright, thank you, Mr. Lu, goodbye."

  As he spoke, Lorraine opened the car door and got out. Soon, the taxi turned around and left.

  At this time, the sky had already darkened, and looking at the taxi's tail as it drove away, Lorrain narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. This Lu Chuan, since he was so deeply trusted by Hu Yidao, his identity must be extraordinary. Working for Hu Yidao, in other words, might mean working for Hu Yidao's organization, perhaps even being the boss of some gang.

  At the thought of this possibility, Lorraine's face turned black with three lines on her forehead. Forget it, if she was being driven around by the boss of a triad all day, that would be really embarrassing.

  "Hey! You little stinker, you still know how to show up!" Just as Loring got off the car and stood at the entrance of the Municipal Bureau in a daze, a crisp and mature voice suddenly came from behind him, filled with resentment.

  Lorraine turned around and saw Jiang Yan walking towards her in a hurry, wearing a white blouse with a dressy collar on top, which was very distinctive. The chest was raised high by two round and plump things, looking mature and capable with a hint of cuteness. Below that, she wore a black knee-length skirt, fitted and stylish, and further down were her fair and smooth legs in flesh-colored stockings, slightly full but without any excess fat, tightly closed together. Her calves were slender and straight, and a pair of black high-heeled shoes supported her delicate ankles.

  Today, Jiang Yan looks full of neatness and purity, it can be seen that this dress is her carefully prepared. Of course, the so-called purity revealed by Jiang Yan at this time is different from Lan's purity. One is a pure and beautiful intelligence, while the other is more like a shy and reserved purple orchid, a blushing purity.

  "Wow, Yanyan, you look really beautiful today!......" Luolin gazed at Jiangyan who was getting closer and closer, staring at her intoxicatingly pale face with a sincere compliment.

  Jiang Yan was taken aback by Luo Lin's sudden words and was overjoyed, but then she thought of Luo Lin's tardiness and immediately pretended to be slightly angry. With the sound of her high heels "clicking", she stood in front of Luo Lin, and a refreshing natural fragrance wafted into Luo Lin's nose, causing him to close his eyes in rapture. Seeing Luo Lin's expression, Jiang Yan was so angry that she stomped her foot, her face red as she bit her small silver teeth: "You stinky brat, do you know you're late? We agreed to meet within 20 minutes, and now it's almost half an hour! Are you trying to let someone else ask me out?"

  Lorraine shrugged calmly and smiled: "How could that be? Under the heavens, who else but me can make an appointment with my stunning sister Yan?"

  "Who's charming the country and the city? That stinky brat... only knows how to say things that flatter people~~~" Although she said this, the faint smile at the corner of Jiang Yan's mouth clearly indicated that she was pleased with Luo Lin's words. She immediately gave Luo Lin a light glance, "Hmph, insincere guy, just good at flattering, I'm leaving, not eating with you anymore~~". Saying so, she turned her head and walked away in the opposite direction.

  "Got on the wrong boat, can you just leave?" Lorraine knew that Jiang Yan was joking with herself, so she went up and grabbed Jiang Yan's slender hand, a warm current passing through her palm, smiling and saying: "Sister Yan, don't go back tonight, I'll take care of you."
