Ark Heroine Development Plan

"okay!"

After his men walked out, Wu Mingjin's face was quickly filled with deep fatigue.

He just... accidentally fell asleep.

This tiredness did not come from not sleeping well last night, but from a pressure so heavy that it made him breathless.

The pressure of facing that penguin, the pressure of making that choice, the pressure of waiting for the ending to come.

"That's all?"

He held his forehead against his chest and repeated the question to himself word by word.

"That's all?"

Wu Mingjin stood up irritably and paced back and forth in the room, just like he did at the door of Penguin Logistics this morning.

After about ten minutes, he walked to the door and locked it, then took out a dark golden box from the secret compartment in the room.

This was the reward given to him by the noble man, and also the last mission he had to fulfill.

The man took a deep breath and opened the box with trembling hands. Although he had already opened it and confirmed it, he couldn't calm down when he thought of the weight the box carried.

A bank card lay flat in the box. The amount in the card was enough for him to squander for three lifetimes. It was a number that Wu Mingjin dared not even imagine, enough to buy ten Wuxianhui.

Obviously, he's not worth that much money.

The only thing that is valuable is what he does.

Under the card, there was an envelope.

Wu Mingjin didn't know what he was supposed to do. He only knew that the noble man had instructed him to put the envelope in a place that was secretive enough but could be found by the incoming Guards officer.

And he would be caught by the police officer and would confess something vaguely plausible.

As for the end, it is the end of this round, his mission is over, and he can run away with the money.

But would things really go so smoothly? Wu Mingjin wasn't doubting the all-powerful nobleman's tactics. If that was his plan, then it would inevitably end this way. He was doubting the outcome... could he really get away with the money?

If not, then the price I pay...

Boom boom boom!

The sudden knock on the door made Wu Mingjin's heart stop, and he quickly put the box back into the secret compartment.

"What the hell are you doing?" He looked at the young man standing in front of him and cursed, "Can't you just say what you want to say first?"

"Hehe..." The boy, who looked not even sixteen years old, scratched his head and laughed foolishly, "I forgot, forgot. Don't be angry, Wu Ge."

Wu Mingjin slapped the boy on the head and said, "If you have to fart, let it out now."

"If there's a new person who wants to come, they must let Angkor take a look first."

"…Newcomer?"

Wu Mingjin was stunned for a moment, then said coldly: "Tell him to get out, tell him we don't accept any more people."

"Huh?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed. "But we lost a lot of brothers after the last fight with those guys from the Ma Gang. It was Brother Wu who said you wanted to recruit people—"

"I fucking told you not to!" Wu Mingjin interrupted the boy harshly, "Don't you understand?"

The young man seemed frightened by his elder brother's unusual and inexplicable anger. He subconsciously took a step back and nodded hesitantly.

"Well, then, Angkor, I'm leaving first..."

"and many more."

Looking at the young man's departing figure, Wu Mingjin suddenly spoke:

"Awu, where are you and your unlucky friends?"

"Ah? Brother Wu, you mean Maozi and the others?" Ah Wu turned around and looked at Wu Mingjin in confusion. "They're playing outside. What's wrong?"

The man pursed his lips, took a few steps forward, and took out a handful of Longmen coins from his pocket.

"Go out and hang out with those stupid friends of yours."

He reached out and rubbed the boy's head: "You don't have to stay here today."

After receiving the money, Ah Wu was stunned for a long time. Then he grabbed Wu Mingjin and asked nervously, "Brother Wu, you are not going to kick me out, are you? No, I, I have fought very hard in the last few fights! Those little guys at home still need me--"

"Who the hell wants to kick you out? Can't I give you a day off if I'm in a good mood?"

Wu Mingjin raised his foot and kicked Ah Wu's thigh: "Get out of here right now, or give me back my money!"

As soon as Ah Wu covered the Longmen coins, he turned around and ran away.

Halfway through the run, he turned around and shouted:

"Brother Wu, I will follow you forever!"

The man looked at the boy's back as he walked away. His running and jumping figure was filled with joy and happiness.

"Run away, you little bastard."

He laughed at himself and said, "While I still have a little conscience left."

……

Ah Wu had a handful of Longmen coins in his pocket and walked with an extremely arrogant posture.

Maozi couldn't stand seeing his arrogant look anymore and couldn't help but kick him on the butt.

"Fuck you!" Ah Wu, who had fallen flat on his face, got up quickly and yelled at Maozi, "Your father treated you to a meal, and this is how you repay him?"

"I can't help it." Maozi crossed his arms over his chest. "What about you guys?"

"Indeed." The boy next to Maozi nodded. "Treating us to dinner is no excuse for you to be so arrogant, Ah Wu."

"A bunch of bastards."

Ah Wu muttered and patted his trousers and shirt hem, but when he put his hands in his pockets, his expression became arrogant again.

"But it's okay. Your father is in a good mood today and I forgive you."

"So where did you get the money? Damn, I almost got caught the last time I tried to steal Dao Laogui's stuff. I really risked my life for the money."

"Old Deng, please stop doing this. Follow me... No, follow Brother Wu!"

Ah Wu patted his chest vigorously and said proudly, "I guarantee you won't have to trade your life for money. Angkor is very kind to his men. Have you seen this money?"

He took out the handful of Longmen coins and waved them proudly: "This is a gift from Angkor. Are you jealous?"

Several young boys opened their eyes wide and stared at the stack of blue banknotes in Ah Wu's hand.

"Brother Wu, please give me a way! I want to join the Wuxian Society too!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you call me brother? Fifth Dad, since we've been friends since we were little—"

The boys surrounded Wu noisily, and Wu nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of you. Brother Wu suddenly didn't want any new people today, but I think he's actually afraid that a traitor will sneak in at this critical moment. We brothers are all trustworthy, so I'll introduce you to someone, and I guarantee you'll pass!"

He waved his hand proudly and said, "Let's go eat first! After we finish eating, we'll go back to the club and give Angkor a surprise."

On the shabby street, several big boys in old clothes were arm in arm, striding forward, as if they were walking towards a bright future together.

Chapter 168 - Good News and Bad News

Chen stood on a tall building, looking down at the courtyard not far below, his fingers rhythmically tapping the strip-shaped object in his arms.

"Every thirty minutes, one guard post... The sentries can be as lax as they want. Thugs are thugs."

"That guy with tattoos all over his arms is Wu Mingjin. If we want to get information, we have to catch him alone."

Her gaze shifted to the depths of the courtyard. "Room...his private room at the entrance of the Wujianhui Hall."

As long as he could catch this guy, he could open up a new breakthrough - Chen had plenty of ways to make that guy talk.

Maybe there are some physical clues, but Chen doesn't really believe that the person behind this would be so dirty. If there really is, she would immediately suspect whether this is another trap.

However, no matter how much you think about, it is just wishful thinking before it is put into practice. Chen does not like wishful thinking, as it makes her look incompetent and stupid - of course, a proper plan is not classified as wishful thinking.

"almost."

She suddenly said this, then jumped down from the building like a ghost, stepped on the roof and sneaked towards the headquarters of the Wuxian Society.

Chen had never done anything like this before. Although she had carried out missions that required her to remain hidden, the significance of this was completely different. In the past, she had been stealthy in order to better complete the mission, but now, she had no choice at all.

The eaves beneath your feet are no different from the steel ten thousand meters in the air.

"I heard that Lao Si recently got a batch of goods from Kuang Huo. Is it true?"

"Really? I remember it was some new stuff mixed with Originium fragments. It was extremely poisonous. Even if you didn't die from the explosion, you'd lose limbs and be covered in Originium fragments. Tsk tsk... a life worse than death."

"Damn, the Kuanghuo are really a bunch of lunatics."

"Hey, that's the reaction they want from you. The more people who are scared, the more customers they have."

"Aren't you afraid of being killed by the police for selling this thing?"

"I heard they have someone above them, who knows?"

"..." Chen listened to every word of these words, with an expressionless face.

"That is to say, this place still contains a batch of highly dangerous explosives."

She murmured to herself, "If I could scream movingly, it would be a perfect reason to take action, but... haha."

Chen half-crouched on the high wall with a sneer on his face, and began to count silently in his mind.

Three, two, one.

Bang!

She jumped down and knocked the patrolman unconscious with the bar-like object in her arms, then quickly dragged him to a corner filled with debris and covered him with a pile of things.

When observing the entrance of the Wujian Society, Chen had already memorized the three-dimensional map of this area. She quietly followed the route in her memory to the private room of Wujian Society leader Wu Mingjin, without being exposed along the way. After all, most of the members of the Wujian Society were just ordinary thugs, and naturally did not discover Chen's ability.

But this contrast made Chen even more confused - why would the mastermind choose such an ordinary gang, inconspicuous in the Longmen slums, as a pawn? What could they do for the mastermind?

The answer may not lie with Wu Mingjin, but if you want to get the answer, you must catch this guy.

Chen climbed onto the roof again and was now standing above Wu Mingjin's private room. She tore off the cloth, and the hidden red blade was exposed to the air.

Chiying——

A red blade flashed, and a square hole large enough for one person to pass through was instantly cut out on the roof.

Chen threw away the stone stuck in Chi Xiao and looked down.

Wu Mingjin was sitting at his desk, and he seemed to feel the light and happened to look up.

A shadow fell from the sky with the sharp sound of wind!

The long red blade was nailed firmly to the desk, and the indestructible sharp blade was less than three inches away from Wu Mingjin's nose.

Chen, half-kneeling on the desk, looked down at him with an expressionless face:

"Want to die or live?"

The man was silent and slowly raised his hands.

Chen stood up, drew out Chixiao, and pointed the tip of the knife at Wu Mingjin: "You know the situation very well."

"What do you want?" Wu Mingjin acted very calmly, which was in line with Chen's expectations. Although Chen had very little information about the Wujian Society, he did find a lot of useful documents about their leader.

Wu Mingjin was born and raised in the Longmen slums. He was imprisoned for murder at the age of fourteen. Due to his age and circumstances, he was released from prison at the age of twenty-two. He began to recruit helpers to form his own power. He was imprisoned several times, but he never committed any crimes again after the Wujian Society gradually took shape.

He has no parents, only a grandmother who is over 80 years old. He grew up in an extremely bad environment, but he was able to grow up to this point in this environment. Even if he took the wrong path, he is not a fool.

"Who are you working for?" Chen asked coldly.

When facing such a person, there is only one best way, and that is to force him, and to obtain the required information in the most direct and tough manner.

"I work for a lot of people." Wu Mingjin leaned back slightly. "I don't know which one you're referring to."

"Originium smuggling."

"..."

His expression changed, albeit slightly, but Chen still caught it.

Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Say it or not?"

She placed the tip of the knife against Wu Mingjin's forehead, applying a little force.
