The next day, early in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Compared to the hustle and bustle at night, the Twist Street at this time seemed a bit deserted and lonely.
There are not many open shops on the whole street, and street workers in twos and threes are standing listlessly on the street, working overtime for their street work in another sense.
Lin Mo had his hands in the pockets of his coat, and his entire figure was hidden inside the slender windbreaker.
He walked on the street without wearing the mask that "everyone shouts for beating". There was no expression on his handsome face, like a hermit who did not eat fireworks, without joy or sorrow.
Behind him, Kitagawa Hao, wearing a white suit, followed closely, his eyes looking around warily, observing the street under the rule of the Tiger Claw Gang.
The apartment he lived in was not too far from Twisted Street, and he would come here when he had nothing to do to catch up with his former Tiger Claw gang brothers and renew their old friendship.
In the past, for the sake of his sister, Kitagawa Hao always tried his best to distance himself from the brothers of the Tiger Claw Gang.
After all, he has "washed his hands in a golden basin" and there is no need to continue to contact these people.
But after deciding to serve Lin Mo, in order to expand his network and contacts to better help Lin Mo, Kitagawa Hiroshi also picked up his previous contacts, and from time to time went to have late-night snacks and play with the brothers he knew before. A Mewtwo or something like that.
Therefore, he is no stranger to this street.
Although it was daytime and the streets were not busy yet and were deserted, Kitagawa Hiroshi could still tell something was wrong at a glance.
"Lin Jun, people here have become very wary, and they don't seem to be wearing samurai swords anymore."
Taking a few steps closer, Kitagawa Hao whispered his findings to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo nodded absentmindedly, not surprised.
"It seems that the impact of the bounty released yesterday has begun to slowly ferment."
He looked at the street characters such as Ma Zi, gangsters and gangsters standing in the corner of the street. When the two of them passed by, they were glanced at by these people with undisguised eyes, as if they were watching. Confirm their identities.
Not only that, in the past, the samurai swords that these street gangsters liked to wear most to show off and intimidate have now been collectively replaced by weapons such as maces, baseball bats, and machetes.
It seems that overnight, the katana has changed from a pretentious weapon to a "regulatory weapon."
"Mr. Mo Ying's reward order has caused an uproar in the city now. He likes to wear samurai swords. In order to avoid suspicion and to avoid being mistaken by others as wanted criminals, it is not surprising that these gangsters change weapons."
Lin Mo explained and commented softly, with a calm expression on his face, as if he had absolutely nothing to do with Mr. Mo Ying.
Kitagawa Hao nodded slightly and sighed with emotion:
"I guess other places are similar to here. Everyone wants to get the 100 million. Unfortunately, Mr. Mo Ying's true identity and appearance have not been exposed until now."
"Well, this is also the purpose of our coming here today." Lin Mo said meaningfully.
After all, he was quite emotional in his heart.
Night City has always been a chaotic ecosystem, and it has rarely been as "unified" as it is now.
Unexpectedly, just because of such a sudden reward order, a little order was born in the chaos.
For the people in the middle who are used to maintaining this "ecological balance", this is undoubtedly a disaster.
For example, the middleman hiding in the Pachinko shop on Twist Street - Okada Wakako.
After chatting with Hiroshi Kitagawa for a few words, the two of them arrived at a familiar pachinko shop.
Lin Mo stopped in front of the door for a moment, walked in without much hesitation, and went straight to the elegant room.
The bodyguard guarding in front of the curtain saw his arrival and didn't say anything. He stepped aside and allowed the two of them to enter.
Walking into the room, Lin Mo smelled the familiar aroma of tea, which was also mixed with a few wisps of the more unpleasant smell of smoke.
The light in the elegant room was dim, with only a rectangular lampstand. Wakako, dressed in casual clothes, was sitting at her desk as usual, not surprised by Lin Mo's visit.
"Child, it's nice to meet you. We haven't seen each other for a while. How are you doing recently?" Wakako greeted her gently and kindly.
Lin Mo nodded slightly and responded with a smile:
"Not too good, but not too bad either."
With a warm smile, Wakako looked at Lin Mo quietly with her cloudy eyes wearing reading glasses. This obscure sight made Lin Mo always feel like he was being targeted by a poisonous scorpion, which was quite uncomfortable. comfortable.
"I really want to reminisce and chat with you, but unfortunately, I'm so busy with what happened recently. I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I can't talk to you about everyday things... So, kid, you are so busy..." Did you come here this time to deal with any trouble?"
Her tone was still so unhurried, and there was no hint of urgency in "rushing for time". Instead, she smiled meaningfully and asked in a low voice:
"For example, about Mr. Mo Ying..."
The atmosphere in the elegant room suddenly darkened, as if dark clouds had swept across the water-clear sky, and the air became extremely solemn.
Lin Mo remained calm and calm, hiding his hands in his coat pockets, standing straight and looking down at Wakako who was sitting on the chair.
"Have you guessed it all? Mother-in-law."
Among the middlemen he has come into contact with so far, Wakako is probably the only one who knows his true identity.
And his visit today is also to resolve this matter.
"You didn't hide it from me at first, right?" Wakako said pleasantly:
"There is not much information about Mr. Mo Ying on the road. As an old lady, I happened to have cooperated with him once or twice, so it is normal for me to know him. But what I really didn't expect is that he really fulfilled his original wish. No To be nobody, but to be truly famous.”
"However, the price behind this is not small." Lin Mo said.
"Yeah, 100 million, the whole city is in chaos. Everyone wants to pursue their dreams, everyone is..." Wakako half sighed, staring at Lin Mo with slightly narrowed eyes:
"I'm old and don't want to get involved in this kind of thing, and there are a lot of troubles caused by this reward that are still waiting for me to deal with... I can more or less withstand the temptation of 100 million, my child, if I don't have Before you change your mind, please leave first, and we should have as little contact as possible."
Lin Mo smiled nonchalantly and understood that this was Wakako's expulsion order.
However, he was not surprised. Now his other identity can be said to be in the stage of "everyone shouts and fights". As a middleman, Wakako naturally understands the truth of staying out of the matter.
One hundred million, she might be jealous.
But she also understands that getting involved with the company is seeking skin from a tiger.
Therefore, Lin Mo is not worried that the other party will destroy the Great Wall and destroy the foundation he has built over the years because of this little money.
However, this is not the purpose of his coming here today.
"One hundred million may not be too tempting, but what if I doubled it ten times...Mother-in-law." Lin Mo said in a low voice, with a faint smile on his lips.
