Chapter 591 Too Much Like the Jianghu! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The two arrived at Deshengmen quickly!
Wu Aiguo followed Wang Hu and entered a quiet alley.

He wasn't afraid of Wang Hu causing trouble, since he was carrying a weapon.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a pistol, but a repeating crossbow.

This thing was sketched by Wu Aiguo himself, and his father, Wu Zhi, secretly made it out using a machine tool.

I've tested it privately, and its power within ten meters is about one-third that of a pistol, which is more than enough.

It was about the size of a pencil box, strapped to the wrist with a leather strap.

Inside are three long, spike-like arrows that can be fired with a strong tap.

In his previous life, he had extensive knowledge of all aspects of traditional martial arts, including the category of hidden weapons.

As long as you're willing to spend the money, what kind of hidden weapon can't you get your hands on?

Soon, Wu Aiguo followed Wang Hu into a private residence.

It looks a bit dilapidated on the outside, but the inside is a completely different world, decorated in a rather luxurious and grand style.

Inside the main room, two people, one tall and one short, were sitting upright.

"This is the one who provided the wild ginseng!"

Wang Hu pointed to the middle-aged, lean man and introduced him, "Brother from the Northeast, you can bring out your wild ginseng!"

"Oh, this is the guy who wants to buy it, it's not cheap!"

The thin, middle-aged man glanced at Wu Aiguo, took out a small wooden box from the bundle beside him, and then gently opened it.

Wu Aiguo glanced at it and knew it was a 25-year-old wild ginseng, which was not bad.

"Five hundred yuan, no need to waste your breath!"

He pulled out five hundred yuan and threw it on the table, then reached out and took the small wooden box containing wild ginseng.

It was clear that the tall, strong young man wanted to stop him, but the thin, middle-aged man stopped him, saying only, "The price is very fair!"

Wu Aiguo didn't say anything, glanced at Wang Hu, and turned to leave.

How could it be unfair? It was priced according to the prices offered by traditional pharmacies in the capital.

In a place like Northeast China, that would definitely be considered a premium price.

If you're still not satisfied, there's no point in doing this deal.

Those two didn't give him any sense of danger.

Even if he has the ability, he's probably only at the level of a seasoned veteran in the underworld.

However, after taking out five hundred yuan at once, the money in my pocket suddenly became much less. It seems I should go to the Swallow Gate to get some more money.

On the other side, Wang Hu also quickly received his commission and left.

Only the two people from Northeast China remained in the main room of the house.

"Brother, that pretty boy looks really rich. Should we discreetly investigate him?"

"This is the capital city. Don't cause me any trouble, or you won't even know how you died. Are you that skilled?"

The thin, middle-aged man sternly rebuked him, then smiled and counted the money again.

Finally, he took out a little over a hundred yuan and gave it to the tall, defiant young man, saying irritably, "We've already done quite well to sell the wild ginseng!"

"Are you just looking to make a quick buck?"

"Brother, what do you mean?"

Holding a hundred-yuan bill in his hand, the tall young man's eyes seemed to be shining.

"That person is very generous; they might have other needs!"

The thin, middle-aged man said confidently, "Let's go back as soon as possible and see if we can get our hands on any good stuff. We can find out the truth through Wang Hu!"

"Okay, let's go back right away!"

The tall young man didn't waste any words and echoed excitedly.

Wu Aiguo was naturally unaware of what happened after he left.

If they knew, they would only laugh and curse, "What a bastard!"

By this time, he had already cycled back to the security office of the repair shop. It's best to avoid getting involved with the black market at Deshengmen unless absolutely necessary.

Who knows when that place will be cleaned up?
After all, the most difficult three years have passed, and things are gradually recovering in the capital.

"Chief, you're back so soon?"

The security guards who stayed behind were somewhat surprised and asked curiously, "Why didn't you go out and have some more fun?"

"What are you talking about?"

Wu Aiguo placed the wild ginseng in the cabinet of the small rest room and came out, saying irritably, "What fun places are there in the capital right now?"

"I do know a bit about it; it's not just about playing cards, but also about flirting with girls!"

A colleague from the security department who remained behind whispered, "If it weren't for you, Chief, I definitely wouldn't have spoken up for anyone else!"

"Thank you so much for your high regard!"

Wu Aiguo said, both amused and exasperated, "I know what place you're talking about. Aren't you afraid of getting sick? Besides, how much money do you have to go through all this trouble?"

In his heart, however, he made a mental note of this guy.

He's not one to stay put!
"let it go!"

The guy even looked regretful, his face full of reminiscence.

It seems this guy is no longer safe. I need to find a chance to kick him out of the security department, otherwise he'll be in trouble later.

Wu Aiguo remained outwardly calm, but he had already made up his mind.

What kind of era is this?
As a government employee, how could you go to Tianqiao and the Eight Great Hutongs to play? Did you think it was safe there?

Through Wang Hu's introduction, Wu Aiguo learned that the martial arts world in the capital could be very bloody and cruel.

I'm talking about the area around Tianqiao and the Eight Great Hutongs.

Because Beijing was peacefully taken over, the filth in the city was not cleaned up, at least not in Tianqiao and the Eight Great Hutongs.

According to Wang Hu, the area around the overpass was the most chaotic and mixed.

The underground gambling dens and prostitution businesses are still operating!

There, many martial arts masters from the capital and Hebei gathered to make a living, and bloodshed was commonplace.

Well, it's too much like the martial arts world.

The pigeon markets in Beijing, as well as the big black market operators, are unwilling to bother with the troubles in Tianqiao and the Eight Great Hutongs.

In peacetime, no one can stand living a life of constant danger.

Because he had heard Wang Hu say that, Wu Aiguo knew just how deep the water was over there.

He sat down at his desk, picked up a newspaper, and began to read it with great interest.

Time flies, and the lights came on in the security department's main office.

Wu Aiguo glanced at the sky outside; it was already quite dark.

Just then, the get off work bell rang, and he immediately stood up and called out, "Let's go, let's go take a tour around the factory gate!"

After saying that, he put on his hat and, along with several colleagues from the security department, quickly walked towards the main gate.

Things are most likely to go wrong when you're leaving get off work.

That's how it's portrayed on TV, isn't it?
Fortunately, the repair shop is a new establishment, so there haven't been too many strange incidents yet. I estimate that it will be about the same in about ten years.

When Wu Aiguo arrived at the canteen with his colleagues from the security department who were staying on duty that night, only the workers on the night shift were there.

The food was pretty good, with eggs, meat, and soup. Wu Aiguo ordered a little of everything, and then he and the comrades from the Supervision Section squatted at the kitchen door to keep an eye on things.

The objective is quite clear: the kitchen staff are not allowed to take away leftover food, at least not at the repair shop.

In truth, it was Wu Aiguo who brought this upon himself.

Weren't you involved in rescuing abducted children back then?

Several of them are orphans, and several come from families in dire straits who are unable to afford to raise them.
