"Li Kuo, how's it going on your end?"
In the evening, Xiaofan called to inquire about the situation of some other brothers.
"I bought a truck; I have all the servers installed in it. Satellite positioning and navigation are all set. Everything is ready."
"A truck? You know how to drive?" Xiaofan asked, doubtingly.
"My brother-in-law does. When he was in the army, he drove this kind of truck to transport missiles. Is everything smooth on your end?"
"Yeah, the contract is signed. But I feel like this place doesn't seem to be Red Butterfly's territory. Still need further observation."
"Alright. I've checked those bosses already, and haven't found any issues. Ren Ying and the others are still tracking them. Besides some secret business clubs we can't enter, these rich guys often hire escorts for trips."
"Let's keep it this way; with the masks on, no one will know your identities, daily life can go on as usual."
"Alright, I know."
The security company's employee dormitory is in Tsim Sha Tsui, very close to the company. A three-bedroom apartment where three people live. Xiaofan and Li San each received three sets of very decent black suits and two pairs of sunglasses. However, the first month's salary will deduct a 3,000 yuan deposit for clothing.
Of course, Xiaofan didn't come all the way here for just that salary, but he's making no progress in what he wants to accomplish.
"Li Yunlong, the employee lunch is pretty good, what are you doing? Aren't you coming to eat?" Xiaofan shouted loudly after he hung up the phone.
"Shh, Xiaofan, come quickly, I seem to have heard something incredible."
"What incredible stuff?" Xiaofan pouted as he walked over. Could the bedroom next door have a couple making out? What good does listening to such sounds do?
"Come on... it might be related to what we're investigating."
Upon hearing this, Xiaofan's pace suddenly quickened as he ran over.
The eavesdropping device, Li San's special tool. Back when he was a thief, as long as the extended eavesdropping device was attached to the wall, he could hear if there was anyone inside and even understand conversations clearly.
"Hey, I told you, that place is not worth going to. Where success in a month means more than a hundred thousand. We work hard and only make over ten thousand. A hundred thousand? You'd have to risk your life for that."
"Yeah, Zhang Hu has two little kids at home, went to that place and died in less than three days. His widow and orphans don't know what to do. The brothers have considered, even someone as strong as Zhang Hu didn't make it, so we'd better focus on this job."
"This is already the seventh one in our company, recently the big boss often comes to pick people. Seven people, two dead, and the five heavily injured were lucky to survive. But what's going on lately? Have you been to that place?"
"I went once, it's all illegal boxing, basically a money-burning place. The overnight turnover reached seventy million. I heard the highest record was over five hundred million."
"We don't have the capability to earn that money, let's be peaceful and work our job."
"People die for money and birds die for food, in XG, what's the use of a ten thousand a month? I see many people in the company still want to take a gamble."
"Alright, that's none of our business. Looks like payday is tomorrow, last time you followed an old man to the mainland for a week, this month you got an extra seven thousand."
"What's the use, I have to send back more than eight thousand monthly. Father is sick, and siblings are in university. Damn it, if I could die early, I would also gamble a bit."
At this point, Xiaofan understood generally. There's a place, likely for illegal boxing, and the big boss should be the security company's owner. Could this have a direct connection with Red Butterfly?
"Xiaofan, where are you going?"
"Buying some booze."
"Buying booze? Are the two of us going to drink?"
"No, as newcomers to the company, we should show some respect to the seniors by buying some alcohol."
Respect, curry favor. With Xiaofan's status, he didn't need to do this for anyone, but now he's not Ye Xiaofan, his new name is Shen Zhifan, coming to XG, getting some connections can only be beneficial.
'Knock knock knock knock.'
An hour later, Xiaofan knocked on the door of the next room.
"Who is it?" A voice shouted from inside, the door was opened.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Oh, we're newcomers to the company today, just arrived in an unfamiliar place, wanted to make some friends. Would you mind having a drink?"
"Hmm? Come in. Liu Peng, two new guys in the company are inviting us for a drink."
"Drinking? Sure. Come, sit down, wow, so young. Where are you from? I'm from Shanghai, been here for over two years."
The other side showed no attitude, clearly didn't see themselves as seniors. For them, having more friends in a foreign city is a good thing.
Among men, the best things to improve friendships are money and alcohol. When drinking, as long as you drink enough, all words become effortless.
Everyone chatted about various topics from all over, talking big without harm.
"Didn't expect, for such young guys, you're under such pressure too."
"Life isn't always living for oneself." Li San's bluffing skills were strong; within twenty minutes, he made them sympathetic about his background.
"Alright, Yunlong, go buy some snacks for the drink, and bring up four crates of beer. We got along well with these two brothers today, we must drink heartily." The first goal was achieved, now it was time for business.
"Oh, don't go to the trouble, I have peanuts here, are you okay with drinking white liquor? We all try to save money and don't dare drink beer, beer never seems enough no matter how much you drink. Come, try my white liquor, cheap and decent." Liu Peng said generously.
"No worries, white liquor's fine, but snacks must be bought, Yunlong go please."
"Yep, be right back."
Li San said that and got up to open the door and walked out.
"Hey, Brother Shen, just now Li Yunlong said, he came to XG for work due to his two sick siblings, how about you? He listens to you, did you bring him here?"
"Hmm? Yes, I heard from a friend half a year ago, the work here is good. Just happened to have learned martial arts for two years with my grandpa, so I came to try. But when I arrived, I couldn't reach my friend, just followed the address he had left from before. He should've been a company employee too. Oh, his name's Zhang Hu..."
