- Don't betray the Enforcement Agency, or your friends will suffer.
It would have been fine if the other party didn't say that, but as soon as he did, Jiang Lu got angry.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who asked you to protect them well? Why should they be well protected if I have to fight to my death outside?"
Jiang Lu gritted his teeth:
"I want to say, don't let them enjoy the benefits before me. Can you let them go to the detention center for forced labor? Can you please stop making it more dramatic?"
"Uh..." Law enforcement officer Xiao Zhang looked embarrassed: "Is that what you think?"
"Yes, in any case, we must not let them have an easy time. Now, give me an address, and I will tell you the truth in a few days!"
At the same time, inside the conference room.
The members of the special task force who had been observing Jiang Lu's every move through the 360-degree surveillance camera in the law enforcement bureau were talking about this.
"Can you trust him?"
"There is no problem with their ability, but after all, we have no weak points, so we cannot rule out the possibility of them turning against us."
"And he has stains on him. He was so meticulous at the age of one, and he learned to steal at the age of five. This is really terrible."
"Also, he was clearly his companion, but he took revenge on him just because he told him a few truths. This person doesn't have the heart of a saint. Even if he is given the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, I'm afraid he will find it difficult to achieve the right result."
"But we have no choice for now. Four spies have already died. Why not take a different approach and give it a try?"
As they spoke, everyone gradually looked at the team leader.
Seeing that everyone expressed their opinions and had different views, the calm old man with gray hair seemed a little helpless and sighed: "To be on the safe side, the selection of the former No. 005, now No. 006 agent should not be put on hold for the time being."
"What about his three companions? Were they really sent to the detention center?"
The team leader thought for a while and said, "That's not necessary. Let them stay in the law enforcement bureau, but their treatment should not be too good or too bad. Just treat them as ordinary prisoners. In addition, they must not know that Jiang..."
"Jumbond."
"Hmm... this name is a bit difficult to pronounce. We must not let them know that Jiang Mu Bond is doing this job."
"clear."
......
Coming out of an unfamiliar street from the back door of the law enforcement bureau, Jiang Lu squatted on the side of the road and took a breath of fresh air.
"If that's the case, then the three of them shouldn't be used as leverage against me..."
He actually understood the subtext of law enforcement officer Xiao Zhang, so he could only respond in this way.
He didn't want Jin Yao and the others to be used as weapons to threaten him, nor did he want them to get hurt because of him.
After all, he was not sure whether he could stick to the bottom line and always maintain his image as a spy.
He just wanted to send Jin Yao away, there was no need to risk his life in such a place.
If, he meant if, he encountered a choice that he had to face, being a double undercover agent was not an option that he could not consider.
"But if it goes smoothly, it would be the best."
Jiang Lu comforted himself:
"Look at it from another angle. With four spies dead, it's no wonder that the reward promised to me is so generous. In other words, as long as it can be done, the value of this achievement may be higher than I thought."
This means that your pass is more reliable.
Rubbing his face, Jiang Lu made himself more alert, then took the address of an underground casino disguised as a teahouse during the day, which was given to him by law enforcement officer Xiao Zhang and was the most suspicious one that the law enforcement bureau was currently targeting, and Jiang Lu set off.
This process took Jiang Lu some time.
Because he passed by a massage parlor whose name "A Golden Pill Transforms into a Nascent Soul" was not simple, he went in to find out what was going on with a sense of justice: "They are so rampant, they must be controlled by that mysterious organization. How can they be involved in prostitution, gambling and drugs? I can't just turn a blind eye to it."
After coming to the conclusion that "the vegetarian dishes are bland and the meat prices are low", two hours had passed and it was almost evening.
It would have been fine if the initial capital that law enforcement officer Xiao Zhang had given him to use for handling the matter was almost gone, but what was even worse was that at this point in time, not only had the underground casinos that he had to scout out started to work harder, but the inspections had become stricter, and it was not so easy to get in.
"Damn it, this is a bad start."
Looking back at the "Golden Pill Transforming into a Nascent Soul", Jiang Lu couldn't help but complain to himself:
"It's all the fault of this massage parlor. What a misleading name. Does a hero of justice deserve to be obstructed like this?"
Sighing, Jiang Lu couldn't help but start considering whether he should go check out the place again tomorrow.
According to the information provided by law enforcement officer Xiao Zhang, it is time for them to officially do business. I did not scout the place during the day, and it would not be easy for me to sneak in before I get in touch with the insiders.
Just at this moment, in "A Golden Pill Transforms into an Infant", two middle-aged men in luxurious clothes walked out side by side.
"Brother Xue, this is such a wonderful place. How come I have never known such a dreamlike wonderland before?"
"Of course, my brother, my taste is never wrong."
"I didn't expect that services that weren't like those in brothels could be so captivating. This is really an eye-opener."
"Haha, I told you, that brothel is just vulgar and not elegant at all. This is much more elegant, isn't it? Well, I have arranged the daytime activities, and it's your turn for the evening."
"Okay, okay, Brother Xue, don't worry. I won't let you down. Next, let's go to Yixuan Pavilion. It's a great place I just discovered recently. Who knows, maybe we can earn back the money we spent during the day in a few hours."
Jiang Lu, who was sitting on the doorstep, pricked up his ears when he heard this.
Yixuan Pavilion, isn’t that the teahouse you want to go to?
Such a coincidence?
maybe...
He turned around and looked at the two middle-aged men with wretched faces, and suddenly felt somewhat friendly towards them.
"It's true that when we meet, our eyes are filled with tears..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu laughed deliberately: "Hahaha, such a common product actually made you linger, it's really ridiculous, it can only be said that the wild boar has never eaten fine bran."
Hearing this, the two frowned and glared at Jiang Lu: "Who are you?"
"No problem, my name is...Tanhua Shisanlang!"
Chapter 292 The Brothel Three Brothers
"Oh? Tanhua Shisanlang?"
The man surnamed Xue was slightly surprised:
"You, with your filthy appearance, have you participated in the palace examination of Sanqing Temple? But what do you mean by Thirteenth Lang? In every election, there is only one No. 1, one No. 2, and one No. 3. How can there be a Thirteenth Lang?"
"No, no." Jiang Lu shook his head. "This is not the other Tanhua. I am searching for the beautiful little flowers in this world. As for the number thirteen, it just indicates the part I am searching for, not the order."
"Oh, so you're a gardener, haha." The man surnamed Wang was obviously much duller and could not understand the meaning behind his words. He immediately scolded him, "Gardener, why don't you go and plant some flowers instead of coming here to cause trouble for us?"
But the man surnamed Xue seemed to be thinking about something, and said to the man surnamed Wang: "Brother Wang, please be patient."
Then, he looked at Jiang Lu again and said, "May I ask this brother, you just said that this 'one golden elixir turns into a Nascent Soul' service is an ordinary one. How did you know that and how did you judge it?"
"Why do you know? Of course it's because I just came out from inside. As for judgment, it's the experience gained through hard work and sweat." Jiang Lu replied with a smile.
As mentioned before, this world is a world that combines technology and spiritual practice. Since it is a spiritual practice, most of the techniques used are methods passed down since ancient times. It is true that most of them are the wisdom and essence of the ancients, but some of the concepts are inevitably conservative, even pedantic.
This also led to a situation where even places of entertainment had a somewhat reserved atmosphere, which in Jiang Lu's opinion was a bit bland and like chicken ribs.
As for the special service of 'one golden elixir turns into an infant' which is highly praised by the man surnamed Xue and the man surnamed Wang, it is actually like the egg in instant noodles, which can be the icing on the cake if it is there, but its absence will not affect the taste of the noodles, and it is far from being able to overshadow the main feature.
What Jiang Lu really complained about was that this store sold eggs under the name of instant noodles, but you couldn't even see the noodles in the soup, which was quite excessive.
"Then in your opinion, if this is not elegant enough, what is the real elegance?" The man surnamed Xue stared at Jiang Lu with burning eyes.
Obviously, he felt that Jiang Lu was showing off, and was somewhat unhappy with his ky behavior.
Jiang Lu also knew this, but he could only apologize in his heart.
If you weren't also going to Yixuan Pavilion and I needed to get your attention and ask you to take me with you, how could I have ruined your fun?
At first glance, these two people are nouveau riche with respectable status, they are new money. They are strong enough, but lack the background and cultivation of old money.
Then at this time you naturally need me, Jiang, the elder money in the underworld, to be your guide.
It's all fate.
"First, let me tell you about the amazing service in this store."
Jiang Lu pointed to the sign that read "One Golden Pill Transforms into a Nascent Soul":
"Your definition is that it is not like a brothel, which is all vulgar, but is more inclined to cultivate sentiment and provide emotional value. Is that okay?"
"Yes."
"But these are actually just some borderline dancing, or some seemingly unrelated activities between men and women, but they are constantly hinting and inducing through body language to arouse your desires. Of course, on the surface, there is no deeper communication, but in essence, it is no different from a brothel."
Jiang Lu analyzed:
"In a sense, brothels are more simple because they get straight to the point and there is no hidden cost. You just have to spend more money and time and they can still provide you with the same service.
But what about this store?
There were consumer traps everywhere. The first time I went there, the lobby manager induced me to apply for a card. Besides that, he used ambiguous words to try to arouse my curiosity and anticipation. This is something that I would never dare to think about in a brothel. It was pure fraud.
The price of vegetarian dishes is the same as the price of meat dishes, and they only do one-time business. In the eyes of real gourmets, this is just treating consumers as fools. "
The man surnamed Xue was silent for a while. He didn't expect that Jiang Lu could be so organized in criticizing the things he loved. He couldn't find any reason to refute.
Seeing this, the man surnamed Wang standing by, perhaps wanting to save face for the man surnamed Xue, snorted coldly: "Brother Xue, I was asking you what the real 'elegance' is. What are you talking about? Besides, this is just your opinion. If you don't like it, there are many who do."
"There are plenty of people who are willing to be suckers and give away money." Jiang Lu laughed sarcastically, "Even Shang K doesn't play those tricks, so only you guys still treat them as treasures."
"you!"
The man surnamed Wang was so angry that he was about to explode, but the man surnamed Xue stopped him again.
"You go on."
"Of course, I'm not just telling you theoretical stuff. After all, this knowledge needs to be accumulated. It's normal for you not to understand at your age. After all, no one can accept things beyond their own cognition. This is normal.
So, let me talk about the really popular ones.”
Jiang Lu cleared his throat, then opened his mouth and recited the jingle as if reading out the names of dishes:
"Bath, massage, physiotherapy, ear cleaning, foot therapy, health care, kidney care, ice and fire kneeling service, Thai style, Japanese soft style, real cupping, essential oil back massage, skin moisturizing, fully automatic bath..."
After reciting seventy or eighty borderline activities in one breath, Jiang Lu smiled contemptuously: "They are both borderline activities, but which of these activities is not better than those b-dances?
