“Rhodes Island operator, you can call me Dobermann.”

"I'm a freelancer, someone who provides intelligence to you outside forces. You can call me whatever you want. But that woman who always had a long face and claimed to know everything called me Tiezi."

Tiezi grabbed another cup from the side.

He poured himself a glass of water, drank it all in one gulp, and then turned the glass upside down to show it off.

He then leaned out with his chin and pointed at the glass of water in front of Doberman.

"Yes, you can drink it."

Seeing this, Dobermann also picked up her water glass, took a small sip, and then put the glass down.

The man's refusal to accept Doberman's handshake might have been out of caution, or there could have been other reasons.

But he has already expressed in his own way that he meant no harm.

Doberman responded in his own way, saying that he came with sincerity and goodwill.

"Let's get straight to the point. I can't stay out for too long, so I won't chat with you anymore."

Under the dim light, the man took out his watch from his bag, glanced at the time, and without caring about the dust on the chair, casually patted it a couple of times before plopping down on it.

"You have five minutes. Ask me anything, and I will tell you as much as I know."

Seeing this, Doberman crossed his arms and began asking questions.

Why are you so late?

"Because the Rat King asked me to do something, which I had some ideas about. But something went wrong and I couldn't leave work on time."

As the man spoke, he poured himself another glass of water and placed it on the table.

"what's up?"

Dubin continued to ask.

"The Reunion Movement has infiltrated Lungmen, looking for something. The Rat King also wants to know what that is, as do the officers of the Lungmen Guard Bureau. But unfortunately, the slums are the Rat King's territory. The Guard Bureau's personnel need Commander Wei Yanwu's permission to enter and search without any hindrance. So the Rat King wants to take advantage of the fact that the authorities haven't completely shifted their focus to the lower levels and find out what's going on first."

Tiezi spoke very quickly. After he finished speaking, he glanced at his watch again, looked up, and said...

"Five minutes left."

"What's the use of this thing? Why does the Rat King also want to find it?"

Dobermann seemed to realize that the answer he was looking for lay in the Rat King's actions. If only the man before him also knew a little about the inside story...

Unfortunately, Tiezi shook his head.

"I don't know what this is, and I don't know what it's for. But I can tell you what big moves the Rat King and Reunion have made to find it."

Tiezi frowned; this matter seemed very important to him.

"The Rat King has practically turned the entire slum upside down. Many of the hidden informants who were previously allowed to operate freely in the slums by the Rat King have been exposed. The Rat King has given a deadline of the day after tomorrow. Even his daughter has been ordered by her father to begin searching the entire Lungmen slum."

Tiezi continued.

"As for the Reunion Movement, they seem to have integrated into the entire slum. It must be because they have integrated successfully that these infected people blend in so perfectly with the people in the slum. Even the Rat King can't tell how many of his subordinates have been completely turned or replaced."

"Two groups have already clashed in the slums. The Rat King's men paid half the price to eliminate the exposed Reunion Movement members and also obtained some information. But I don't know the details. At that time, I was still in the city meeting with my friends."

Tiezi took a sip of water and then pointed to the kettle next to him.

"Don't be shy, pour yourself some after you're done."

It's clear he's just finished working and hasn't had a chance to drink water yet, so he's a bit thirsty now.

Dubin thought for a moment; Tiezi had already provided a lot of information.

This includes information about the general whereabouts of the Rat King and the situation of the Reunion Movement.

However, the most important thing right now is what the Reunion Movement is most interested in.

Why does the Rat King value this so much, even going so far as to overturn the entire slum, just to keep things in his own hands?

When did the Reunion Movement infiltrate Lungmen?

Dubin then asked Tiezi.

Tiezi thought for a moment and then said.

"The earliest news came a week ago that a group of infected people of unknown origin entered the slum in batches. This was the news from the Lungmen authorities. They don't pay too much attention to these things and usually turn a blind eye."

"But the Rat King values ​​this information highly, since these infected people and such usually end up in his slums. However, once these infected people enter the slums, they immediately break up into smaller groups. At first, the Rat King didn't pay much attention, and by the time he realized it, it was too late."

So, it seems that the Reunion Movement had already taken action against Lungmen before the Chernobog incident. In fact, the fall of Chernobog was just their first step, and Lungmen was a stepping stone to their ultimate goal.

According to the information brought back by the students from Chernobog, the timing of the Reunion Movement's actions in Lungmen and Chernobog actually matches up.

"Do you know where the Reunion Movement is most likely to emerge?"

Doberman asked another question.

Tiezi touched his chin.

"The slums are located near several abandoned factory areas on the outermost ring road, as well as some old residential buildings. These construction sites, which have been temporarily suspended by Lungmen, are the places where poor people who cannot afford to pay like to stay."

Tiezi shrugged.

"After all, these guys either make a living by stealing or do some shady deals. To put it bluntly, they are a bunch of pathetic worms trying to survive. They are already lucky to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

After saying all that, Tiezi took out the watch he was holding in his left hand and looked at it again.

"The last minute."

Then he raised his hand and shook his watch at Doberman.

Dobermann nodded, then asked the question she most wanted to know.

"Is there any connection between the Rat King and Wei Yanwu? Are they currently cooperating?"

"..."

For once, Tiezi fell silent.

Then, he nodded.

"What kind of cooperation? What are the objectives, and what are the actions?"

Dubin pressed on with further questions.

Tiezi sat there, looked Doberman up and down, and then shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I can't answer that question."

"why?"

"Because I might lose my life."

When he said this, Tiezi spoke very casually, as if losing his life was nothing more than a trivial matter to him.

"My suggestion on this issue is that your Rhodes Island leadership should contact the top management of both sides yourselves, instead of asking me, a nobody living in the cracks."

"The information I can give you is all about issues that won't pose a threat to me, or rather, some threats that I can take on for you, since I'm just doing this for money."

The implication was that this matter was beyond his control, and if it were revealed, he might die.

But Dobermann also sensed something else in his words.

If he were truly just an ordinary intelligence broker, then all intelligence would have a price to pay.

Instead of following certain principles, or even saying that they will die.

This is not reasonable.

"Besides Rhodes Island, whose next company are you?"

Dubin astutely asked this crucial question.

But Iron Juice just shook his head, while simultaneously raising his watch on his left wrist.

"Time's up, Miss Dobermann. Our question-and-answer game is over. I won't be answering any of your questions now."

Tiezi stood up from his chair, picked up his coat hanging behind the chair, put it on, looked up at Dubin in front of him, and said.

"Here's a piece of advice: targeting the Reunion Movement is fine. But don't try to find out about the relationship between the Guard Bureau and the slums. This matter involves a lot of people. After all..."

Tiezi gave a strange smile.

"Dragon Gate is not just Dragon Gate, it is the Dragon Gate of the Great Yan Dynasty."

Dubin frowned as he watched Tiezi open the hidden door for her.

"Please come in, Miss Dobermann from Rhodes Island."

Dubin glanced at Tiezi again, then bent down and walked out of the hidden door.

Just behind Doberman, Tiezi's voice came again.

"Don't forget, it's 20,000 per minute. You spent five minutes here. Remember to transfer the money to the account we agreed on before you go back."

After Dobermann had completely left the hidden door, she heard the sound of the door closing behind her.

Tiezi closed the secret door, but he didn't come out himself.

It seems there must be another way out of the room.

Doberman didn't open the door again; instead, he pulled the trash can back and left the spot.

We have obtained enough information.

If the Great Yan has already intervened in this game, then what about Ursus?

What will that massive war machine think?

Was this Reunion Movement's surprise attack on Chernobog merely a spontaneous activity by the infected, or was it orchestrated by Ursus?

Dobermann felt a chill run down her spine. Without thinking further, she turned and left.

On the other side, the man sat down in the room again and waited for a few minutes.

He then rubbed the wall for a while, found a hidden button, and pressed it gently.

Suddenly, a small door appeared to open on the wall, and the man reached in and took out a communicator.

He quickly dialed a number using a communicator.

After ringing exactly five times, the number was finally connected.
