433 Target Practice (1/2)
Xiao San and the rest were staying in a hotel.
That was right, a hotel. However, it was only a disguise for the outsiders. In reality, nobody could stay in this hotel at all, whereby it was only provided for some internal clients. If an outsider was to come, the little boy at the front desk would always say the same thing. ”I'm sorry, our hotel is fully booked.”
”I thought Brother Yao's family was only in the food business. Never did I think that the water is so deep.”
Naturally, Ye Shuang and the rest would not get the 'the hotel is fully booked' response when they arrived there. She had always thought that Yao Zhixing was only in a motorcycle gang. She had been surprised to find out from Han Chu that this dude who had been riding for so long had such a secret up his sleeve.
”Why are you surprised?” Han Chu asked back, finding it strange. ”The Yao family is in the food business, so it's not surprising that they picked up a few chain hotels. Meanwhile, I'm his friend, and he was my agent in San Lin City for a while…”
He was not done with what he was going to say, but the conclusion was, there were already so many clues presented. How was it strange to have such an outcome?
”I thought he was just doing it for fun.” Ye Shuang was annoyed. ”I thought he's just killing time doing that since he has nothing else on at home. Never did I think that Brother Yao would have so many businesses to handle.”
Little Brother Ye snapped back to his senses from his excitement. He could not help but asked, ”Isn't this Brother Yao's old lair? The kind where he hides prohibited military arms and all of the staff including the janitors are agents?”
Han Chu was speechless upon hearing the Ye family siblings' ridiculous comments. ”He was just having fun, but a local tycoon will always go all out compared to others. Moreover, he's not the only person who owns this. The men in his team invested too… and this hotel isn't as crazy as you guys imagined. Strictly speaking, it's still profitable, and it's not breaking any laws. It's just that it's being run like a private club. It doesn't have a high rating; it's just a place of confidentiality for a specific group of people.”
Naturally, this place was safe and highly confidential. Not only that, the bunch of nouveau riche from Yao Zhixing's team paid special attention to this hotel, whereby there would not be any unnecessary people going in and out. It was only natural that the price was extraordinarily high.
It was basically a business that had struggled at first but stabilized as time went on. They had nothing to complain about as long as they managed to cover the water and electricity bill. It would be used as the Yao family's staff dorm when there were no guests, or they would gather with their friends to talk about their private properties.
The three of them arrived at the floor where Xiao San was staying as Han Chu told them about the secrets of Yao Zhixing's business.
Since Nature Village was called a village, naturally, the population was small. In reality, half of the crowd that Ye Shuang had seen back then were outsiders and floating population. Xiao San had brought seventy to eighty people in total who were really under Master Five. It was sufficient for a technical organization that used to scam for a living.
Moreover, there were juveniles among the seventy to eighty people.
”Everything has been sorted out, don't worry.” Xiao San cut right into the subject after chatting for a while as he welcomed the four of them. ”As the old saying goes, 'even a powerful dragon can't crush a snake in its territory'. Although we're not too familiar with San Lin City, we're still in the province no matter what. We have some connections.”
Ye Shuang thanked him as Han Chu said, ”If we're talking about a local snake, the owner of the hotel that you guys are staying in is one. We're not worried that we will be slow on the news. It's just that the laymen will be a burden one way or another. We can't underestimate something even though it's minor. You're more suitable to be doing this than us.”
