Chapter Eleven: The Difficulty of Distinguishing Between Reality and Illusion

  Hudede once said a word - Once a person has money, he is no longer mean!

  He clenched the emerald card, his mouth twitching: 30 million! A sum that can't be earned in a lifetime of mixing, solved by finding two people! As the saying goes, "Treading on iron shoes without searching for a place, getting it all without effort", when a person is walking in good fortune, nothing can stop them!

  "Fat chef, come out!" A hoarse voice shocked Xiang Er's small face pale!

  From "little brother" to "fat chef", a person's status changes with money, it's not that Shen Qingyang's status has dropped, but the money in the emerald card is supporting him. "A dog's belly can't hold four taels of lard", this is exactly the kind of person like Dumbel.

  Shen Qingyang carried a long-handled ladle out of the kitchen, his tall chef's hat beneath a face slick with fine sweat, but his eyes still shone brightly. He had taken in everything that had happened in the house, and the conversation between Yu Bo and the stranger was all stored away in his mind.

  The thinking of a ruthless mercenary is different from that of a normal person, especially "Blood Shadow" Shen Qingyang. Any information that passes through his brain will become clear in terms of cause and effect, and he can even deduce the details as if tracing a picture!

  "Your Sichuan cooking skills are still a bit tender, compared to Spring Brother... Haha, not bad! " Ah, Da leaned back in his chair and saw Shen Qingyang standing in front of the table with a ladle, and couldn't help but snort: "Let's enjoy some authentic Sichuan cuisine!"

  Xinger hastily poured two cups of hot wine, picked up the scattered banknotes on the table one by one, and handed them to Shen Qingyang with a humble expression: "Young man, your reward!"

  Shen Qingyang's face turned red, this little girl is quite something, she knows how to get things done! Compared to that old man, she's much more lovable!

  "Haha!" Shen Qingyang pretended to be dull and smiled: "Yi Shui Zhai's reputation is good, so someone is willing to pay for dinner. I just cooked two dishes - isn't Lao Ba asking me to intern for 12 hours?"

  "Eh......" Xīn'ér's pretty face turned red as she looked at Yǎ Bó.

  "Fat chef still has a conscience! You're new here, it's not easy to find a job, the internship test is just barely passing, let's wait for Spring Brother to come back and decide, let me taste your skills!" After saying that, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, with an inexplicable look of surprise on his face.

  "How was it?" Xinger asked with wide eyes.

  "Here's another one..."

  “……”

  Shen Qingyang put the vegetable spoon on the table, pulled out a cigarette and lit it, quietly staring at Yaobo. The old man looked very comfortable. Hehe, don't know that the knife is already pressed against your neck, still so arrogant?

  "Come on, Xin'er, try the culinary skills of our fat chef!" Dumb Old Man waved at Xin'er with a smile and said: "We'll just drink while waiting for Spring to come back!"

  Xinger responded with a sound, hastily and softly calling out to the little boy, only to discover that the child had already disappeared without a trace. She pushed open the door and looked outside, but still couldn't find him.

  "Yabo, Banji is gone!" Xiang'er's face turned pale, her voice almost a whisper.

  "Which Bangji?" Shen Qingyang stood up and swayed out of the restaurant, on Dongda Street, where was the shadow of a little boy? The child had just been playing in front of the door, blinking his eyes and disappearing from their sight.

  Back at the restaurant, Xinger was wiping away tears, Ah-yi awkwardly leaned against the chair, staring at Shen Qingyang: "Didn't you see Banji?"

  "No! I'm in the kitchen!" Shen Qingyang furrowed his brow, feeling somewhat displeased. If it were in the past, he would have been able to quickly track down a lead, but just now when he went out, he didn't discover anything unusual.

  "Who is Bangji?" Yibo asked Xiang'er.

  "Oh, my brother!"

  "Spring Brother's son?" Yu Bo stared at Xiang Er in surprise: "Spring Brother only has you as a daughter... do you have an older brother?"

  "Hmm... Wuhu..." The beauty was heartbroken and on the verge of collapse.

  Qingyang took a fierce drag on his cigarette, the silver lighter in his hand clicking several times: "Xiang'er young lady, maybe your little brother went out to play somewhere far away, don't worry, I'll think of a way to find him!"

  "Damn it!" Old Man Yu raised his head, took a swig of wine, and slammed the cup on the table: "That what... lass, eat first, Fat Chef promised to find Banji for you, no mistake, he's got the skills to bring him back!"

  "Oh......" Xīn'ér's red and swollen eyes glanced at Shěn Qīngyáng, got up and slowly walked into the inner room: "Yǎbó, little brother, you guys eat first, my heart is a bit messy..."

  Women's new enough chaos!

  Originally, the $3 million had stunned him into a daze, but now he was slightly more awake. He wanted to find "Tian Tian", first earn that $1 million, and then have the opportunity to get the remaining $2 million.

  "Who is he?" Shen Qingyang stared at Lao Ba's old face and asked.

  "Who is it?"

  "Give you an emerald card!"

  "I don't know!"

  Shen Qingyang's eyes bulged, and a cold light burst out. He reached out to grab the collar of Dumbel's clothes, and with a slight exertion of his arm, Dumbel's body was lifted off his seat!

  "Speak!"

  Yu Bo had never seen such a scene, no room for negotiation, just stretch out his hand and hit people. Those little rascals he usually provoked would scold each other before taking action. In fact, Shen Qingyang had been enduring for a long time, since coming to Zhonghai, he had been secretly ridiculed many times, including the "fake cripple" stealing the sky, and also the old guy in front of him!

  "Little brother... you... let go!"

  "Who is he?" Shen Qingyang just wanted to make Dumb Uncle understand that he wasn't a pushover either!

  Yu Bo sat heavily in his chair, his old face flushed red, and he coughed tightly for a while before relaxing.

  "I don't know who he is either!" This was what Dumby thought in his heart, but the person who spent 30 million to buy information as soon as he acted was unparalleled in the Mediterranean!

  "Guess who he is?"

  "Heaven and Earth are connected!"

  "What's going on?"

  "Super informant!"

  "Your companion?" Shen Qingyang's face eased a lot. That man knew some martial arts, his speech was extraordinary but his appearance was despicable and lustful, he looked at Xiang'er with a very special gaze, as if he wanted to strip her clothes off!

  "It must be him!" Dumb John's tone softened: "Little brother, he wants me to find 'Tian Tian', the reward is one million US dollars!"

  A person with no shame can accomplish anything! Ah Bao is this kind of person, just now he was calling Shen Qingyang "fat chef", and in the blink of an eye he changed to "little brother"!

  "Haha! You think this money is easy to get?"

  "Hmm!"

  "Do you know his skills?"

  "Ah-ha!" Yu Bo's expression changed, and he suddenly realized that he had overlooked a problem: "Tian Di Tong" spent $1 million to find "Tou Tian", which was already very suspicious! In the underworld, he was a top-notch informant, who had connections with both the black and white societies, and even had some dealings with "San Tian Si Di". How could he let me find him? And at such a high price!

  "Well, let's get started then!" Shen Qingyang took off his chef's hat and threw it on the table: "I'm going to find him too!"

  "This... little brother, how did you manage to find this heavenly place?" Yu Bo scowled and took a sip of his liquor: "I'll take on this task first, then plan out the next move. Three million, after all..."

  Everyone is so greedy! The knife has already cut into the meat, but they still crave money. Shen Qingyang smiled lightly and sat down in his chair to start eating. His own craftsmanship was still not bad, at least better than that little beauty's authentic dishes.

  "What's your take on the news about Tianditong?"

  Yu Bo's old eyes suddenly lit up, his oily sesame-seed-ball-like hands rubbed the jade card, and a greedy expression hung on his face: "Four messages, each worth millions!"

  "Haha!" Shen Qingyang smiled coldly, the old man was indeed blinded by wealth.

  "What's so funny? You don't understand the rules of our line of work..."

  "What he gave you wasn't valuable information, but a deadly knife. Do you believe it?" Shen Qingyang ate and drank as if nothing was wrong, not caring about Ah-yi's reaction at all.

  "Why?"

  "Use your brain!"

  Yu Bo was somewhat bewildered, and Shen Qingyang's words were even more incomprehensible.

  "Four pieces of news, which one do you think is true?" Shen Qingyang put down his chopsticks and let out a satisfied burp. Having not eaten greasy or spicy food for a long time, he found it hard to digest at first.

  "I never thought of it!" said Ah-yin with a sly smile, he really hadn't given much thought to the authenticity of those four messages.

  "It's all fake!"

  "How can you be sure?"

  "It wasn't Xu Zhangzi who wanted to devour Tianyuan Garden, nor were the three fugitives from Emperor Hotel. Kempinski Hotel wouldn't recruit a Sichuan chef, and Xing Tiange's security guard wouldn't die in Heishi Town's Spring of All Under Heaven!" Shen Qingyang said slowly and deliberately.

  "What makes you think so?" Ah-yee was shocked, his tongue lolled out, with saliva dripping from it, and his mind was a complete muddle.

  "Guess!" Shen Qingyang looked at Yu Bo with a mocking gaze, holding his toothpick: "You told me before that there is no one surnamed Xu in the Zhonghai black and white gangs, the kiln houses in Heishi Town are all inferior, and the Tianchun department stores are all concentrated in Zhonghai City and Hailanpu!"

  "Oh!"

  "The people inside the Emperor Hotel are not fugitives, but masters who want others' lives! The Kempinski Hotel is looking for something even more than a Sichuan chef, it's a...!" Shen Qingyang thought for a moment, "Tian Di Tong" knew such miscellaneous information, what was surprising was how he knew he had already arrived in the Mediterranean?

  "What kind of person is Kay?" Dumbert stared blankly at Shen Qingyang, this young man was not ordinary, a mysterious aura shrouded his heart.

  "Hunter!"

  "How did you know?"

  "It's a guess!" Shen Qingyang's harmless smile returned to his face, but he became somewhat vigilant in his heart. His intuition told him that the four messages of "Tian Di Tong" were very interesting!

  The first person to know that he had arrived at the Mediterranean was not Interpol, but that "thief"! Shen Qingyang looked at the jade card in Ah Bao's hand, and a killing intent gradually rose in his heart. This kind of card was all too familiar to him, having seen it just a few days ago in the camp in the Bambooson Forest.

  "The commission for this mission is one emerald card per person, with a full 10 million inside!" Chen Chen had secretly told Shen Qingyang before that for the sake of this card, the "Brave Warriors" team was almost completely annihilated, and seven brothers from the Blood Soul Battle Team were killed or injured.

  Nobody got Jade Card!

  "So......this is a message?" Dumbbell rolled his eyes, his brain wasn't stupid. If Shen Qingyang's analysis was correct, the information "Tian Di Tong" wanted to convey to him should be: "Tian Ze Garden is hosting a banquet for the 'Noble Guest' at the Kempinski Hotel, Xing Tian Ge is in charge of security, with the goal of hunting down the Hunter!"

  What a mess! Old Man Yu shook his head: "How did you think of that?"

  "The world is in chaos!"

  The world is in chaos! I'm taking my jade card and running away. Yes, of the 36 strategies, fleeing is the best!

  "Do you want to run away?" Shen Qingyang saw through Diao Bo's thoughts at a glance, and sneered: "Tian Di Tong knows the situation very accurately, including everything about you, so you can't escape!"

  "Heh heh!" Old Man Yu took a swig of baijiu. Can't run away? What a joke!

  "Chun Ge is still in Tian Ze Yuan's hands, and there's also Ban Ji!" Shen Qing Yang felt a pair of eyes staring at his back, but when he glanced sideways, he didn't see anyone!

  "What you said is right, Chun Ge and I have a deep relationship that has been mixed for a lifetime!" Dumb Slave sighed: "Are you sure that the Tian Di Tong is related to Chun Ge's affairs?"

  Shen Qingyang was uncertain. To be honest, he had only learned about these things in the past two hours, and he had been in the Central Sea for less than twenty hours, so it was impossible for him to know that much.

  "You only have one day to find the thief, are you sure you can definitely find him?" Shen Qingyang was most concerned about this, and nothing else mattered. However, from Dumbel's performance, he seemed very confident in finding the "thief".

  This is a thorny issue. Finding "Tian" is not difficult, the difficulty lies in how to get him to Caicheng Temple Street Cuixian House!

  "Thieving Heaven" never appears on Little Fourth Street! This is something that Yu Bo knows. Little Fourth Street is so small, even if you scatter urine around, it will still hit the boundary!

  "This matter still needs to be carefully considered..."
