Just then, Li Chonglou’s seemingly casual gaze also noticed Sister Feng finally opening the car door to get out.
A moment later, his own phone rang.
“Hello.”
“Three o’clock direction, follow me.”
Turning around, he saw Sister Feng tucking her phone back into her bag.
After Li Chonglou followed, he discovered that the real destination was not inside the Baijin Building, but a tea house outside.
“This is run by my people, it’s safe.”
Saying this simply, Sister Feng directly led him to a private room on the second floor.
The employees he encountered along the way neither greeted him nor stopped him. Li Chonglou carefully noticed that these employees harbored a sense of fear towards her. Those he passed at corners would directly find excuses to avoid her.
However, it made sense. For a woman to reach this position, if she didn’t have powerful backing, she could only have a very strong will.
After sitting down in a delicate tea room, Sister Feng’s first sentence was to inquire about the whereabouts of the item.
Li Chonglou cut to the chase and directly took out the box from his embrace.
“The thing you want is here, take a look and see if it’s right.”
Sister Feng took the box and opened it. After a moment, her brow relaxed.
“The item is correct, thank you for your help this time.”
Sister Feng smiled faintly. Although she was dressed exceptionally sexy and mature, and her face was covered with thick makeup, she still possessed a unique charm when she smiled.
It even gave Li Chonglou an intuition that if she weren’t in this position, she might be a kinder person.
The thought was immediately extinguished by Li Chonglou. What a joke, someone who could hold a management position in the underworld couldn't possibly be kind!
However, Sister Feng’s expression also changed extremely rapidly. One moment she was praising with a smile, and the next, before Li Chonglou could react, her smile suddenly vanished.
At the same time, her tone shifted.
“However, I am very disappointed in you.”
Li Chonglou had a guess, but still maintained a look of confusion.
“Disappointed about what?”
“I saw everything that just happened.”
So this person was indeed there from the beginning, making him wait for so long and getting beaten up for nothing!
As Li Chonglou thought of this, his heart ignited with anger, but he couldn’t show it. He could only speak with a hint of resentment, “So Sister Feng is also afraid of Baijin Building.”
Sister Feng did not respond but continued, “I know you also want to return to the Qing Gang, but our Qing Gang has never accepted cowards. You should know this, right?”
Li Chonglou gave a wry smile, “Sister Feng is talking about what just happened, aren’t you.”
Being blocked and beaten by four or five people, for an ordinary person, merely getting minor injuries would be considered good. However, according to the rules of the Qing Gang.
This indeed appeared somewhat cowardly.
“Sister Feng, I think you’ve misunderstood me. It’s not that I’m afraid to act, no, I am afraid to act, but not afraid of them.”
Sister Feng frowned, “What do you mean?”
Li Chonglou explained, “I wonder if Sister Feng has inquired with Sister Xia? If you have, I dare guarantee you won’t find any information.”
Sister Feng’s expression froze.
“When I worked for Sister Xia back then, she hadn’t truly become famous yet, and my job was to clear away some overt obstacles for her.”
Sister Feng was very familiar with this kind of work, as she still had such a group of people under her.
Just like the actions of the security guards earlier, some things the principal dared not do openly, but they needed someone to do it for them.
It was the same meaning as thugs, except the higher the status of the person, the dirtier and heavier the work!
Fighting and killing were already commonplace.
Li Chonglou also went straight to the point: “So even though I haven’t worked for Sister Xia for many years, I still cannot encounter official personnel.”
“I am still undocumented.”
Upon hearing the word “undocumented,” Sister Feng immediately understood.
If the professions mentioned earlier were categorized by levels, then undocumented individuals were the cream of the crop, highly favored by their principals.
This was because undocumented individuals were people whom even the official system could not trace, making them more convenient to work with and safer for the principal afterward.
Sister Feng’s expression immediately eased considerably, and she took the initiative to pour Li Chonglou a cup of freshly brewed hot tea.
“It seems I misunderstood you.”
“Thank you.”
Li Chonglou quickly returned the gesture. Sister Feng was also a smart person; with just that one mention of being undocumented, she had already guessed Li Chonglou’s intentions.
She directly asked, “So you want me to help you get a new identity?”
Li Chonglou nodded, “To be honest, back then I was just one of Sister Xia’s many hidden pieces, and it was merely a contractual relationship.”
Li Chonglou spoke with a hint of apology, but Sister Feng did not show any change in expression.
Because she didn’t believe Li Chonglou’s words at the time, and whether he was truly involved with Sister Xia was unimportant to her.
She only looked at four words: results and capability.
Ah Dong and Ah Hai had indeed returned. Before coming over, Sister Feng had learned the entire process from them.
In fact, when she learned that Li Chonglou had the identity of an appraiser, she had already started thinking about recruiting him.
She never expected Li Chonglou to have completed the task independently; this was beyond her expectations.
Sister Feng raised her hand to interrupt Li Chonglou.
“I don’t want to pursue past matters. I only look at the present, you don’t need to worry too much.”
Li Chonglou, who was about to explain, immediately understood her meaning.
“Understood, then I’ll get to the main point. Besides working for Sister Xia back then, I also took on some private jobs. But one time, there was a leak, and I offended a cultivator.”
Li Chonglou wore a bitter smile.
“He not only crippled my abilities but also left me half-crippled. It wasn’t until recently that I recovered about seventy to eighty percent.”
Regret and helplessness permeated every word Li Chonglou spoke, yet Sister Feng frowned.
“Are you saying that after I help you obtain an identity, you want to return to being an ordinary person?”
“Yes.”
A cold smile suddenly curved Sister Feng’s lips.
“Then I regret to tell you, that is impossible.”
Li Chonglou’s brows furrowed tightly, “Why? Didn’t I help you find the item?”
Sister Feng shook her head, “That’s a matter for the shop owner. You helping me find the item was merely to assist him, one good deed offsetting one fault.”
Women are indeed unreasonable creatures!
Li Chonglou’s heart was filled with speechlessness. If he had truly thought that way, he would have been so exasperated he’d want to vomit blood.
At best, the two of them had only a slight friendship, and a casual one at that. Normally, no one would risk their life for such a small favor.
At most, they would do their best. Perhaps the matter would have ended at the stage of arriving at the scene.
Now, they were using these days of hard work, risking his life, to offset a small favor!
