Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Yongjian is not bad; he's simple-minded, strong, and has a bit of wit when it matters.

But in a dangerous place like the old town, it would be difficult for him to protect his boss by himself.

"Who says otherwise? But you know she doesn't like to bring people with her when she goes out. Even Yongjian, wasn't it you who insisted she bring him along?"

Secretary Li said helplessly.

"Ugh! That old woman is really something."

The fourth brother shook his head, not knowing whether to continue.

After all, she's his own boss, so calling her an "old woman" was the end of it.

"What do we do now?"

Secretary Li asked.

"What to do? Save them."

The fourth brother said irritably.

"We don't even know where they are, how can we rescue them? Do you have any connections in the old town?"

Secretary Li chuckled.

"I don't have it, but you do? Stop with the sarcastic remarks. If Zhen Xinzhai really becomes the boss, I'll definitely be fired. Do you think you can stay?"

"I quit being the lobby manager. At worst, I'll go back to being a bathhouse attendant. I'll be able to make a comeback someday. What about you? Are you going back to being a receptionist?"

"Without the boss as a relative, you're nothing!"

The fourth brother didn't hold back either.

"Fourth!"

"What? You're breaking up? Fine, I'll go find Sister Liu to collect my wages right now."

Sister Liu is the accountant at GaGaShuang Bathhouse and also a relative of the owner.

"Alright, stop arguing. We're all in the same boat, so stop talking nonsense. Let's think of a solution."

Secretary Li suppressed her anger and said.

"What can I do? I'm just a lobby manager. When it comes to things like buying a house or a car and getting a deposit back, people usually give me some face. But when it comes to something as big as my business, who cares about me?"

The fourth brother rolled his eyes.

"How will you know if you don't try? At worst, we can give them some shares."

Secretary Li gritted his teeth and said.

"Huh? Secretary Li, when did you become a boss and even have the authority to own shares?"

"In urgent situations, we must act expediently. I will take full responsibility for the consequences. I believe my cousin will not blame me."

Secretary Li said.

"Okay, I'll make a call and ask."

With someone willing to take responsibility, the fourth brother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After hanging up the phone, Lao Si was about to call an acquaintance when he saw Liu Zheng walking over.

"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, I have some urgent business to attend to, so the process may have to be postponed."

The fourth brother put down his phone and said.

"I've heard that the owner of your bathhouse is having some trouble?"

Liu Zheng said frankly.

Based on his perception, and knowing that the fourth brother hadn't intentionally hidden anything, he naturally heard everything clearly.

"this one"

"I've come here with the sincere intention of cooperating with your bathhouse, and your boss is the key to our cooperation. So, we're in the same boat. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

he said sincerely.

"Okay then, actually, we've lost contact with the boss."

After hesitating for a moment, the fourth brother told Liu Zheng the whole story.

"Did they disappear near the old town?"

Liu Zheng fell into thought.

The only person he knew from the old town who seemed to be Jennifer, an elevator operator, was missing.

Although Niu Ma knows many people from all walks of life, he may not have connections in the old city.

"The fourth manager just said that your boss's locator is malfunctioning?"

After thinking for a moment, he had a flash of inspiration.

"Yes."

"There should be cameras on the traffic lights in the metropolis, right?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes, I was filmed once when I was driving for my boss."

The fourth brother nodded.

He still felt a pang of heartache when he talked about it.

He paid half of the fine imposed by the Public Security Bureau, which was almost half a month's salary.

"That's it"

Liu Zheng pondered again.

"I can try to find someone to adjust the camera, but the bathhouse will have to bear the cost of that."

He said.

"No problem, I'll ask the finance department for the money right away."

The fourth brother immediately spoke.

It's not that he's particularly righteous, it's just that if he doesn't want it now, he won't be able to get it later when the bathhouse becomes Zhen Xinzhai's.

When the time comes, Liu Zheng will have to ask him for the money.

"Okay, I'll ask."

Liu Zheng nodded, and then made a phone call.

"Who?"

The call connected, and a calm, even cold, voice asked.

"Is this Brother 4399?"

he asked tentatively.

"it's me."

"Brother 4399, this is Liu Zheng. I'm sorry to bother you."

He said it carefully.

Liu Zheng thought the phone number on the business card was 8848, but it turned out to be 4399.

"what's up?"

"Here's the thing, a friend of mine has gone missing, and the GPS tracker in her car is no longer working. So, I'd like to use traffic cameras to find her, and I was wondering if you have any information on that."

He said.

"more specific."

4399 spoke as briefly as ever.

"That's it"

Liu Zheng briefly recounted the events in the most concise language possible.

"You like to stir up trouble?"

4399 commented after listening.

"Actually, it's not that I'm looking for trouble, it's that trouble comes to me. People trust me, that's why they ask me for help, and I also get paid. It's a win-win situation, I guess."

He offered a defense of himself.

"Oh. Let me ask, three minutes."

4399 hung up the phone after saying that.

"Who is this?"

The fourth brother asked curiously.

"Oh, he's a good older brother of mine. He works at the city hall, but not in the police department. Of course, he should be able to speak to people."

Liu Zheng said it casually.

"I see."

The fourth brother looked at the silver badge on his chest and said.

No wonder he's so talented at such a young age; it turns out he has connections with the city hall.

But why would a second-generation rich kid like him work at a blood-soaked restaurant?

While the Bloody Restaurant holds a prestigious position, it's not cost-effective for using it as a trophy.

The fourth brother looked Liu Zheng up and down with a probing gaze, but Liu Zheng accepted it calmly, as if he didn't see it.

Three minutes later, his phone rang.

"Okay, 100,000."

4399 said.

Liu Zhengchao held up ten to his fourth brother, who hesitated for a moment before nodding.

It's all the boss's money anyway, so I don't care how much I spend.

Moreover, if the person cannot be saved, then her money will be useless.

"No problem, how can I give it to you?"

Liu Zheng replied.

"Go to the 'Zhengwen' pawnshop and tell the owner you want to redeem a stone worth 100,000 yuan. The location will be sent to you immediately."

4399 hung up the phone.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zheng received a text message.

"Not Diagon Alley?"

He took out a map, but there were no markings on it.

"Fourth Manager, do you know where this place is?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don't know, actually I'm not very familiar with the city."

The fourth brother said with some shame.

He's a typical local bully, ruthless and resourceful in his own territory, but he immediately cowers outside of it.

"Doctor, do you know?"

Liu Zheng asked the Nile River doctor.

"I don't know either."

The Nile doctor's accent was also assimilated.

Why would someone offering such high-end ingredients go to a place like the old town? Is he trying to get used to it faster than he can?

"Okay, I'll make another call and ask."
