Chapter 908: This Is What You Get From Messing With The Kids
“Oh?” Helian Wei Wei seemed to be intrigued as she toyed with the teacup in her hands. “I would like to know about these rules you’re speaking of.”
The middle-aged man laughed. His voice was a little deep. “You don’t look too old to me and I bet you haven’t spent much time in this industry. I don’t know how you know Master Monkey, but since you asked, I’ll teach you a few tricks. There have always been investigations going on with regard to child trafficking. However, not many of them obtained any result. Even if anything was discovered, someone would attempt to suppress the news. Besides, evidence is essential for cases as such. No one will believe you if you cannot catch the culprit red-handed. Whenever there’s any operation from the law enforcement agencies, the traffickers will immediately catch wind of it. Nonetheless, you should understand by now that there is no way you can disturb this place and it’s better for you to not take the risk.”
“What if I insist?” Helian Wei Wei put down her teacup. The smile remained on her face but the warmth in her eyes began to diminish.
The middle-aged man shook his head. “Young people nowadays are just so ignorant. Let me show you a simple example. Do you know why Chinese always make their business deals over dinner and wine? Because it’s a norm in the mainland. The foreigners will not be able to get their heads around it no matter how good an entrepreneur they are. They will never understand that, in the mainland, money is not everything. One needs to have connections in order to close a deal.”
“Are you saying that there is someone protecting Sixth Master?” Helian Wei Wei’s lips curled into a smile.
The middle-aged man did not deny Helian Wei Wei’s statement. He lifted the teapot and poured some tea for himself. “You don’t seem to come from an influential family. Besides, you look young and pretty new in this industry. According to Master Monkey, you are working for the law enforcement agency. You should reconsider before you get involved in this. Later, you might even get into trouble with your superiors. What’s the point?”
Helian Wei Wei did not reply.
The middle-aged man felt relieved, thinking that she was finally convinced. After all, he had a good relationship with Sixth Master. He also understood how complicated the situation was. However, he did not want to offend Master Monkey either, for Master Monkey was not a man to be trifled with.
Since she was introduced by Master Monkey, he had no choice but to help her. However, he reckoned that it was not worth it for him to offend Sixth Brother just for this lady.
“It would be great if you could come around it.” The middle-aged man smiled as he rose to his feet, ready to send her off.
Helian Wei Wei did not move at all. Just as he was about to open the door. She skillfully handcuffed him onto a wooden chair.
After she settled it, Helian Wei Wei turned to look at the two little ones. “Take anything you like, don’t be shy. Our boss, Old Cat, is very generous. He wouldn’t mind at all.”
The middle-aged man did not know how to react. He was surprised by her adroitness, at the same time, furious with her robber-like tone and brash statement. Nevertheless, he was very upset to be handcuffed for no reason.
After all, Old Cat was the second most powerful leader in Yungui District. He would not lose his composure so easily. He said with a cold tone, “Do you know what you’re doing? I took time to meet you out of my respect for Master Monkey. If it wasn’t for Master Monkey, you would have been immediately targeted the moment you stepped into Yungui District. Do you think you will stay alive to meet Sixth Brother? Don’t be naive. It’s very easy to kill someone without leaving any trail here. Don’t forget that the borders are just ahead of us.”
“Are you saying that I’m only alive because of you?” Helian Wei Wei snickered.
The middle-aged man snorted. “What do you think? Since you entered Yungui District with two children, Sixth Brother has been watching you guys.”
Helian Wei Wei put on a grin as she threw another glance at him. “Little Shangxie, show Old Cat what will happen to the people who try to mess with us.”
When Baili Shangxie heard her call, he let go of Little Qingchen’s hand and walked toward the middle-aged man. His crimson eyes began to sparkle menacingly.
The middle-aged man got goosebumps. He trembled as he raised the Buddhist beads in his hand. “You, you!”
“Stupid human.” Baili Shangxie wore an absurdly bloodthirsty and sinister smile. However, he did not seem to be interested in the middle-aged man. Following Helian Wei Wei’s instruction, he took a glance at the man before he turned to continue packing for Little Qingchen.
Little Qingchen staggered forward. He looked tiny but he was excellent at recognizing things. He held the purple jade toad in his tiny hand and turned to stuff it into Baili Shangxie’s little pocket. “Keep it for me. Pretty Wei Wei will give me my pocket money from its sale. Then, we can get chocolate ice cream together after that.”
“Sure.” No matter how charismatic Baili Shangxie was, he was always a doting older brother to Little Qingchen.
On the other hand, the middle-aged man was terrified and desperately trying to remove his handcuffs.
Helian Wei Wei was smiling as she said, “Don’t be nervous. Little Shangxie was just messing with you. Our Little Shangxie is rather picky with his food. However, if you still want to talk me out of doing this matter, as if you’re an experienced man. If you still refuse to give me what I want, I don’t know if the boy will get annoyed. Maybe you will be able to see his uncharitable side.”
“You!” The middle-aged man was afraid and angry at the same time. He clenched his teeth. “Even if I give it to you, you will not be able to bring it onto the train. How can a low-ranked police like you be able to carry all this stuff on your own?”
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows. “Fret not. I know mercenaries better than you.”
“I wish to speak to Master Monkey over the phone.” The middle-aged man intended to ask for Master Monkey’s help to tell off this young lady who came for his help yet was threatening him. He needed to let her know the consequences of messing with him too!
Helian Wei Wei squinted, turned on her phone and connected a video call.
Monkey immediately picked up the phone as soon as he saw the number. “Boss, what’s up? Is Little Boss missing me?”
“Damn, Monkey. How shameless of you. Even if Little Boss is to miss someone, it will be me!” Old A was growling over the phone.
Helian Wei Wei interrupted the quarrel between the few chavs. “Monkey, Old Cat wants to speak to you.”
“Oh? Him?” It was obvious that Monkey was not interested at all.
Helian Wei Wei passed the phone to the middle-aged man. “Here, take it.”
As though he had been waiting for this moment, once Old Cat received the phone, he immediately said in a muffled tone. “Master Monkey, I do respect you. But, the lady you sent here has been really rude. All I did was give her a few pieces of advice, but she handcuffed me instead. Besides, the children she brought with her were also...”
