This is a three-story villa. The first floor looks a bit like an auditorium, or a hotel lobby. It is very spacious and can accommodate many people.
The second floor is more private. According to Mrs. White, only friends or business partners recognized by Mr. White can go upstairs. This also means that almost everyone who can go to the second floor has some connection with the Shark Party.
Under her leadership, Jiang Lu went directly to the third floor of the villa, which is where Mr. White and Mrs. White usually live.
Except for the personal bodyguards or Mr. White's confidants, almost no one has ever set foot here. Even Mrs. White's close friends often only stop on the second floor and wait for her to come down to meet them.
There is a spacious balcony in Mrs. White's boudoir with a wooden lounge chair placed in the middle, allowing her to take a comfortable sunbath at any time.
Jiang Lu didn't know the exact geographical location of the manor, so when he was sitting in the car, he couldn't get a quick insight into the surrounding environment. It was not until now that he discovered that the manor was actually built on the seaside. From the balcony of Mrs. White's bedroom at the back of the villa, he could see the sea.
The azure coastline was in full view, and the joy of the men and women playing on the beach was blown directly in front of Jiang Lu along with the salty and humid sea breeze.
“The environment is really nice.”
Jiang Lu sat on the recliner and admired the scenery in front of him with satisfaction. He had been living in the inland city of Chishan for more than 20 years and had never seen the sea. Even in his previous life, the sea he saw was often mixed with red magma.
Mrs. White had changed into a more comfortable close-fitting pajamas at this time. For some reason, her walking posture looked a little unnatural.
She held onto the door frame and smiled, "I thought you would be more surprised."
"why?"
"Because this is the most luxurious villa on the West Coast, even the mayor can't afford to live in a house like this."
Mrs. White replied: "I thought you would be very happy."
"what?!"
Jiang Lu suddenly stood up from the recliner and asked seriously:
"Do you think that's why I'm with you? You're simply insulting me! You make me feel sick!"
Faced with Jiang Lu's sudden attack, Mrs. White was obviously a little panicked. She kept apologizing and tried to comfort Jiang Lu: "No, of course I didn't mean that. Look at what I said! I'm such a bastard!"
"Hmph." Jiang Lu snorted coldly and sat back down.
Mrs. White stood behind him, put her hands on his shoulders and began to massage him: "Don't be angry, dear."
"Okay." Jiang Lu put his hand on the back of her hand: "I admit that what I said just now was a bit excessive, but you did hurt me."
"I'm sorry... I guess I have to make it up to you."
But when it comes to compensation, Mrs. White is a little embarrassed. The years of luxury have made her forget how to express her apology. After thinking about it, she took out a credit card:
"There's a million in there. Tell me if it's not enough."
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Who do you think I am?!"
Jiang Lu put the credit card in his pocket, looking indignant: "This won't happen again."
"I knew you wouldn't be angry with me." Mrs. White patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
The credit card was a pleasant surprise, but Jiang Lu did not forget the purpose of his visit.
So he changed the subject: "Come to think of it, why didn't I see Little White?"
"Little White?" Mrs. White obviously didn't react to this name.
"Yes, this is my nickname for him. After all, I will be his stepfather in the future."
Jiang Lu answered as a matter of course.
"Is that so? But you'd better not yell at him like that."
"why?"
"He hates it when people call him by names that don't fit his status. Even I have to call him by his first name."
"I remember that. You're so thoughtful."
Jiang Lu rewarded Mrs. White with a deep kiss.
"So what about others?"
Mrs. White stood up reluctantly and said casually, "He's probably busy with business. He's often not at home."
"In that case, tell me about him before he comes back."
Jiang Lu showed a kind smile that was not suitable for his age: "You know, if you want to get along well with a child, you have to understand everything about him. I will love him as much as I love you."
"Hmm?" Mrs. White felt jealous after hearing this and lay directly in Jiang Lu's arms: "You can love him, but you can't share the love that was meant for me with him."
"Of course!" Jiang Lu pinched her nose.
Then Mrs. White began to talk about Mr. White.
......
In the evening, Jiang Lu seized the opportunity and slipped out from the third floor.
He found the swordsman patrolling the gardens and led him to a secluded spot.
"It's really you? What's going on?"
The man with the sword was very surprised. If Jiang Lu had not come to find him, he would have thought that he had seen it wrong in the afternoon.
"It's a long story, but anyway, I've already infiltrated the inside!"
Jiang Lu didn't want to explain too much about this.
The sword-wielding man looked at him strangely: "Come to think of it, why are you dressed so flashily?"
At this moment, Jiang Lu was wearing a purple striped suit and his hair was well-groomed. He really looked like that. If one didn't know his background, one might really think he was some rich kid from some family.
"My sister said purple is more charming."
"Sister? That woman is White's sister?"
Jiang Lu waved his hand: "It's not important, let's not talk about these trivial things, let's talk about the information we have first. I came out under the pretext of wandering around, and I can't stay for a long time, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion."
"clear."
The sword bearer nodded: "Let me tell you what I found first. White does have some demonic power. As for the details, I am not sure yet, but it is definitely related to the contract."
"Contract?" Jiang Lu was confused.
"That's right." The sword-bearer explained, "The Shark Gang made their fortune by loan sharking. It is said that no one on the West Coast dares not to pay back White's money.
Everyone who had borrowed money from him had signed a strange agreement, the contents of which were written on leather. According to people who worked here, the agreement seemed to have magic power, and their subconscious would force them to act according to the contents of the agreement.
At first, no one took him seriously. Many people borrowed money from him but did not intend to pay it back. Then these people suffered misfortunes of varying degrees, ranging from serious injuries to the sudden death of the entire family.
The news that White was protected by God spread, and those who had borrowed money from him could only try their best to collect enough interest to pay him back. He made a fortune from this business.
Some people couldn't pay back, so he used this as a threat to change the terms of the agreement, gaining many subordinates who were loyal to him and establishing the first Shark Party. "
"It sounds like there won't be any problem as long as we don't sign an agreement with him."
"That was indeed the case at the beginning." The sword-wielding man shook his head and explained, "But because there were so many people who wanted to take advantage of him before his abilities were exposed, he had enough strength to force others to sign an agreement with him, and that's how he brought down other gangs.
The worst thing is that under this kind of almost unsolvable coercion, he doesn't need to doubt his subordinates' loyalty to him, unless someone is impatient with life. Of course, it's useless to be impatient, because someone has proved that anyone who has signed the agreement will die miserably if he has any intention to harm him. "
"Tsk...that's difficult." Jiang Lu rubbed his chin.
If this is the case, then the Shark Gang can be said to be an ironclad entity. If they want to use force, the first thing they have to face is the entire gang or even the entire city. God knows how many people they have signed agreements with. If it really comes to that, not to mention whether they can win or not, even if they have to chop off all the carrots in the city one by one, it will take an unknown amount of time.
"What about you? What did you learn?"
Facing the sword-bearing man's question, Jiang Lu raised his head and smiled confidently: "I know a lot more, and there are many things that even White's confidants may not know."
"Oh?" The swordsman became interested and had a slightly changed opinion of Jiang Lu.
"I found out..." Jiang Lu lowered his voice, "White was bitten by a dog when he was a child, and there is a scar on his butt. He doesn't eat cheese because his family was poor when he was a child, and eating too greasy food will cause diarrhea. Also, his underwear is bought by his mother, and there are cartoon patterns on it. Let me think, oh, yes, there is also..."
The sword-wielding man's expression gradually began to distort...
Chapter 75 Mysterious Items from the Underworld
"Stop! Stop! What does this have to do with the mission?"
The sword-wielding man interrupted Jiang Lu's inventory of White's dark history.
"Why is it okay?" Jiang Lu retorted dissatisfiedly: "I think it's enough to make him socially dead, and I haven't said the most important thing yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
The man holding the sword pursed his lips tightly and decided to trust Jiang Lu one last time.
"Then tell me."
"When he was still a kid, he would often secretly read adult magazines and masturbate at home, like this."
Jiang Lu looked around, found a stone block to sit on, and imitated White as described by Mrs. White, making an OGC (looking sideways) gesture:
"That was the case at the time. His mother came home from work and pushed open the door, and saw him like this. I can only say that he is young and promising with a bright future ahead of him."
The sword-wielding man blushed instantly: "I shouldn't have believed you!"
"Okay, that's all for now."
Jiang Lu was selectively deaf, stood up and patted the dust off his butt: "I'll tell you when I find out the rest."
Seeing that the sword-wielding man was still silent with a sullen face, Jiang Lu patted his shoulder and said, "That's enough. It's not easy to find out so much. You don't know what kind of dangers I have gone through. If someone else came, it would have been too late."
The man holding the sword preconceived that Jiang Lu meant that he almost died, and his anger immediately subsided.
He naively thought that Jiang Lu had found a way to become a bodyguard or some other identity that would allow him to get close to White, and that his so-called infiltrating was just a literal meaning.
So after careful consideration, he felt that it was indeed not easy for Jiang Lu to achieve this. Intelligence was not something that could be collected easily. In any case, his situation was indeed more dangerous than his own.
So, the sword-bearer warned solemnly: "Be careful. If you encounter an emergency, save your life first, and then find a way to find me."
Jiang Lu nodded with emotion: "You are so reliable, brother!"
Checking the time, the sword-bearing man said, "Next is the time for me to rest. I have to meet with other people and exchange information. If you can't go, go back first. I will find a way to tell you when there is new progress."
Jiang Lu said, "Be careful on the road."
......
Back on the third floor, Jiang Lu carefully pushed open Mrs. White's bedroom door and took a look.
She was doing the daily skin care, applying a facial mask, soaking in a bathtub filled with milk, and listening to music comfortably.
Jiang Lu didn't disturb him, but closed the door gently.
White hadn't come back yet, so there were no members of the Shark Party in the villa. Also, because of Jiang Lu's presence on the third floor, Mrs. White specifically asked the servants who were supposed to be on the third floor to go to the second floor on standby.
