Chapter 415: Chapter 355: Kill the Delivery Guy, Get Promoted Three Ranks_2

"Right, you’re saying there does seem to be something off,"

Wang Dongdong nodded repeatedly.

"That’s why, you see, I think this reward is a bit too hot to handle. You’re still young, you can take a risk if you want. As for me, I’m already old, I’m staying out of this."

The security captain took a drag on his cigarette and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Take care,"

Wang Dongdong watched him leave, then stood still, lost in thought.

Of course, he wanted the reward, a three-bedroom house he could never afford in his whole life.

But the security captain had a point, there really was something eerie about it.

Someone like him, who came to the city to work without any support, could easily die without understanding why if he got involved in this unclear matter.

"But that’s a house we’re talking about."

Wang Dongdong’s eyes showed his longing.

Country folks who don’t come to the city have no idea what a house means.

It is your fortune, your face, your future, your everything.

"I’m just a security guard, love eating Teddy biscuits..."

Suddenly, his phone rang.

"Xiao Ba? What’s this kid calling me for in broad daylight?"

Wang Dongdong found the number a bit strange, but still answered the call.

"Hello, I’m at work, what do you want, kid?"

His voice grew forceful as he spoke with his cousin.

"Big brother, someone shaved my head,"

Wang Xiaoba said, close to tears.

"What?! Who did it? Someone from our town?"

Wang Dongdong burst into rage.

Everyone in their town knew that Wang Xiaoba was under Wang Dongdong’s protection. To shave Wang Xiaoba’s head was tantamount to shaving Wang Dongdong’s head.

Had he, Wang Dongdong, been away in the city for too long? Had those bastards in town started to get too cocky?

"No, it happened at Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse. He wants to talk to you,"

Wang Dongdong’s voice trailed off.

"Long time no see, have you been doing well standing guard recently?"

An unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar male voice came through.

"Who the fuck are you?"

Wang Dongdong said rudely.

Since it happened at Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse, the person must be an outsider of the city, and Wang Dongdong was not afraid of outsiders.

"Can’t you recognize who I am? Why don’t you touch your bald scalp and see if it jogs your memory?"

The male voice spoke mockingly.

"Huh?"

Wang Dongdong touched his patchy bald spot and memories surfaced before his eyes.

"Are you that delivery guy from Bloody Restaurant?"

He blurted out.

"Right, but no prize for you,"

Liu Zheng said.

"Hey, we had a fight, but that was all work-related. Even if you’re after revenge, you come after me. What do you mean by going after my family?"

Wang Dongdong said angrily.

"I’m telling you, it’s impossible to coerce me using him. If you’re going to kill, just do it quickly. I don’t believe you don’t have relatives or friends. I will find every single one of them. Xiao Ba, don’t worry, I promise to make them suffer more than you."

His tone was grim as he spoke.

"Big brother, I trust you. Ah!"

Wang Xiaoba suddenly interjected, then his scream abruptly stopped.

"Would you believe it’s a coincidence?"

"You’d have to kill your mother for me to believe that,"

Wang Dongdong said with a sneer.

"Now I see where your cousin gets his foul mouth from. Is everyone in your family this aggressive when they speak?"

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, the whole town knows the Wang Family has stiff hair and even stiffer mouths."

Wang Dongdong said proudly.

"Then I think your hair is definitely tougher, otherwise your family would have been wiped out a long time ago. Alright, let’s get back to the point, I really did come to Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse for business, and then I ran into your cousin. If he hadn’t been eyeballing me, I wouldn’t have grabbed him."

Liu Zheng said.

"Damn it, I told the kid to keep his head down when out of town and he just wouldn’t listen."

Wang Dongdong cursed.

He knew Liu Zheng had no reason to lie about this and also knew what his cousin was like.

"Why is it that out of all the people eying you, you just had to grab him?"

He questioned.

"Isn’t that obvious? That non-mainstream hairstyle of your family stands out among all humanoid creatures in Metropolis. Who else was I supposed to grab?"

Liu Zheng said unapologetically.

"Hmph, looks like we have to concede this time. What do you want?"

Wang Dongdong asked.

Since Liu Zheng had caught his cousin, but only shaved his head instead of killing him, it indicated he did not wish to completely fall out with him.

Although Wang Dongdong didn’t know why they should keep up appearances, it didn’t stop him from wanting to hear what the other party had to say.

"I don’t want much. You don’t think I’m using your cousin to blackmail you into letting me into the neighborhood in the future, do you? No, no?"

Liu Zheng said in a mocking tone.

"Hmph, only someone like you would come up with such an idea,"

Wang Dongdong retorted stubbornly, even though that was indeed the only thing he could think of.

"Too bad, that’s not it. Work matters are solved at work, and you don’t yet have the standing to force me to use an external plan,"

he said sarcastically.

In his current situation, purely in terms of fighting, he might not necessarily be able to beat Wang Dongdong to death, but if he was to bring props into the equation, Wang Dongdong wouldn’t stand a chance.

"So what do you actually want? Spit it out, I still have to stand guard,"

Wang Dongdong said impatiently.

"It’s simple, I want information about a person,"

"Who?"

"The owner of apartment 606 in Block 4,"

Liu Zheng said.

"Impossible, I absolutely cannot reveal the information of our residents to outsiders,"

Wang Dongdong said without hesitation.

The kinds of people who lived in Green Garden Mad City was something he understood better than Liu Zheng. Take any one of them out, and they’re the craziest of the crazy, the weirdest of the weird.

Revealing information about that crowd could lead to exposure, and killing him wouldn’t even begin to appease them.

Of course, that wasn’t to say it couldn’t be done at all.

Those banks had tighter information security than their property management, and yet there had still been reports of a massive data breach.

Of course, shortly after the incident, the report and the entire newspaper that published it disappeared.

If the price was right, business was business—forget residents’ information, even one’s own parents could be sold.

Unfortunately, the price offered for a cousin wasn’t heavy enough.

"I’m not an outsider, I’m an ’insider’ acknowledged by the owner of apartment 606 in Block 4,"

Liu Zheng said.

"Huh?"

Somehow, Wang Dongdong felt that there might be some truth in his words.

"Then why don’t you ask her directly?"

he asked.

"Because something has come up, and I can’t get in touch with her anymore,"

Liu Zheng said.

"What else?"

The information aligned with what he knew, and Liu Zheng’s words seemed a bit more credible, but Wang Dongdong still pressed.

"I’ve already delivered takeaway to her twice. If she hadn’t ordered it herself, how could I have delivered it to her twice? And if we weren’t close, why would she order takeaway in the first place?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Hmm..."

That remark was the final straw that broke the camel’s back, and Wang Dongdong completely believed him.

But to give up the information he knew just like that, he felt it was not worth it.

Yet, if he were to name a price, considering the other party had a hostage, they were unlikely to agree.

Wang Dongdong touched the pack of cigarettes in his pocket that he hadn’t managed to deliver and finally made up his mind.

"I can tell you the information you want, but you must give me an additional consulting fee,"

he tentatively proposed.

"No way. To tell you the truth, I know she is probably not in any life-threatening danger, and I have already arranged for people to gather information about her. I believe we will have results very soon. Seeking information from you just happened to be a matter of convenience. If you don’t want to do it, then forget about it,"

"Don’t worry, I won’t kill your cousin. At most, I’ll shave his head bald and write ’All of Wang Family are baldies’ on his scalp,"

Liu Zheng flatly refused.

"Hey, aren’t you being a bit too cruel?"

Wang Dongdong gritted his teeth and said.

"A man must be ruthless. Plus, do you have no idea what you’ve done to me? I’m already being very generous by not killing him,"

"You’re tough. But I still want the consulting fee,"

he said in a stern voice.

"Fine. Bring me Wang Xiaoba’s head,"

"No, big brother, save me!"

Wang Xiaoba’s scream was like that of a young girl about to be violated.

"But, I can also give you another piece of information,"

Wang Dongdong hurriedly said.

"Oh? What information?"

Liu Zheng, holding the boning knife, hovered just above the last strand of hair on Wang Xiaoba’s head.
