C400 I've Heard of Your Reputation for a Long Time
There were no more buildings. There was only a simple scrap yard made of metal. It sat there all alone.
When Xiao Chen arrived here, it was already afternoon.
The abandoned car parked at the entrance of the cave had also disappeared.
The originally messy parking lot and the parts that had been disassembled were neatly piled on one side.
The floor was also cleaned very cleanly. The commonly seen gasoline stains and glass shards could not be seen at all.
Those who did not know would not think that this was a scrap yard, but instead an iron wholesale market.
It could be seen that the owner of the scrap yard had carefully cleaned this place.
To the north of the circle, there was a simple house built from iron racks, which also looked like a work shed.
At this moment, the entire parking lot seemed very quiet. There was almost no sound at all.
The sound of the friction between the soles of their feet and the floor, as well as the sound of footsteps, was the only sound in the entire parking lot.
But Xiao Chen knew that there were still people here!
Because in his senses, there were still two breaths of time left.
In the direction of the simple work shed, one appeared to be a little tired, while the other appeared to be exceptionally weak.
Xiao Chen could not help but narrow his eyes and walk in.
After passing through the similarly open door, he saw the figure sitting upright inside.
Beside the chair, there was a tea table. On it was a pot of hot water and a tea set.
The person sitting on the chair was the owner of the car that Xiao Chen had seen before, the crippled middle-aged man.
The crutch was placed on the side of the chair.
As if he had heard something, the middle-aged man slowly turned his head and smiled when he saw that it was Xiao Chen.
"Just in time. The water just opened!" As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out two teacups for himself.
He placed one on the opposite side and filled a cup of hot tea. Then, he made a welcoming gesture to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen also walked up and sat opposite the middle-aged man.
The fragrance of the tea was rich. Although Xiao Chen did not understand the tea on Earth, he could tell from the taste that it was the Tie Guanyin that Lau Ruman had brewed for him.
The taste was even richer than the tea that Lau Ruman had kept for herself. It was not an ordinary tea.
However, in this extremely simple and crude shed, drinking the tens of thousands of Tie Guanyin was obviously a little unexpected.
However, the middle-aged man was still calm and composed. He filled a cup for himself and held it to his nose and took a deep breath.
His straight spine was no longer hunched like it had been before. His dispirited face was glowing with a red light that had never been there before. His eyes were hale and hearty.
He didn't know if it was an illusion or not.
However, compared to the warm smile on his face back then, when he didn't smile, the corners of this middle-aged man had become exceptionally distinct.
Vaguely, these corners carried a terrifying sharpness, like a tall rock that had been polished by the wind and rain on a cliff.
"Tea is good tea, but the person who drinks tea is unfathomable!"
Xiao Chen didn't touch the teacup, and he narrowed his eyes to look at the face of the middle-aged man who was completely different from before and spoke in a low voice.
The middle-aged man put the teacup to his lips and took a sip. He closed his eyes in enjoyment and then put the teacup on the table.
"Are you talking about me or you?"
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Chen became interested and asked back.
"At such a young age, not only did you make the big shots in the business world in the southeast submit to you, but you also made them submit to you. He also has a close relationship with the Hidden Sect's special envoy. He also controls the largest underground force in the southeast, and such a person... For more than half a year... A while ago... He was just a son-in-law who lived off a woman."
The middle-aged man's tone was flat, but when it came to Xiao Chen's matter, he was very familiar with it.
Although it sounded like he had only mentioned it once, it summarized all of Xiao Chen's experiences in the past half a year.
"You flatter me. I can take the liberty of admitting anything else, but the number one underground power in the southeast, I dare not accept it in front of you!"
Xiao Chen said modestly. He turned his eyes and told him the news he had heard from the two thieves in the detention center.
"The grand leader of the Ghost Shadow Society in the southeast actually runs a dilapidated car park. I can't tell, but who can compare to you?"
Before this, Xiao Chen had never even heard of the name Ghost Shadow Society.
Unlike ordinary underground forces, this Ghost Shadow Society did not have a physical body, but they did do the same thing in secret.
For example, collecting money to kill people, helping people run errands, or even dealing with the aftermath and cleaning up their tails. These were all the businesses of the Ghost Shadow Society.
As long as they could contact this Ghastly Shadow Association, there would be no business that the Ghastly Shadow Association did not dare to do.
Not only that, but some of the thieves and killers in the underworld were almost all related to the Ghost Shadow Society.
But what was the most peculiar thing?
The Ghastly Shadow Society didn't specialize in assassins, nor did they nurture thieves.
Every time they made a list, the Ghastly Shadow Society would find the most suitable person in the industry to do it. This kind of nature was somewhat similar to an intermediary.
However, no one dared to reject the mission that the Ghastly Shadow Association sent out.
Why? It was because the leader of the Ghastly Shadow Association had a large amount of resources in his hands, as well as evidence against him.
These resources were enough to support the rest of the lives of these assassins, thieves, thugs, and gangsters. They didn't have to worry about not being able to find a "job."
But each of these evidence could cause the main body of these evidence to be destroyed.
Therefore, the mysterious leader of Ghost Shadow Society was also known as the demon of the industry by industry insiders.
No one knew how he got those things and resources, but once he got caught, he would never be able to get rid of them again.
And this ordinary-looking middle-aged man in front of him was the legendary devil of the industry.
It was also because of this that those two thieves did not dare to disobey the mission handed down by the Ghastly Shadow.
On the night Xiao Chen and the others arrived, they could only drive the black car out for a "ride."
"You're the one who sent them here to steal the car, right? Why?" This was also something that Xiao Chen could not figure out.
Whatever the Ghastly Shadow would do would be fine, but he never remembered having any grudges with this middle-aged man!
Why did this fellow spend so much effort to find him? And spend so much effort to deal with the Dawn Jade Platform?
"I've admired your reputation for a long time, but I've never had the chance to meet you."
The middle-aged man said indifferently, "You've seen it too. My legs aren't convenient, so I can't run to Jin Lan to see you."
The middle-aged man was rather polite, but his words could not be considered to be an explanation.
"Since I have seen it, how do you feel?" Xiao Chen was not in a hurry. This old man was too patient.
"Should I say that there are no false people under the fame?"
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Chen very seriously. Seeing Xiao Chen's calm and relaxed expression, he changed the topic.
"I thought it would be the best time to see the decline of Chu's. But you are more outstanding than I imagined. You are here now! "
