Emma is an acquaintance of Lupine.
To be precise, she is an acquaintance of the original person. She is the daughter of "Daddy Vic", the owner of the small clinic who bandaged Lupine before!
We all know each other very well because we all live in the same slum alley, and Father Vic and his parents used to have a good relationship. After her parents passed away unexpectedly, the original person lived alone. At a young age, she did all kinds of chores in order to survive. Occasionally, when she couldn't get rid of the pot, she would go to Vic's father's house to have a meal.
Emma is one year older than Lupine in this world, and has always played the role of the girl next door, taking good care of her original self.
Not surprisingly, the original person has always been secretly in love with Emma, but has been embarrassed to say it.
Judging from his memory... Emma's status in his heart is even a little higher than the "wolf girl" he admires and is obsessed with!
Because of this, Lu Ping would subconsciously grab the other person's wrist and call the other person's name... The memory of the original body is now Lu Ping's, and care will inevitably lead to chaos.
However, Lu Ping also immediately realized that he was now "Jin Donghao".
"Oh, you are Dr. Vic's daughter, right? I have been to that clinic and met you once." Lupine explained in as gentle a voice as possible.
"I don't remember you." Emma was still very scared, hunching her shoulders like a little quail, "Excuse me...can I go home?"
Only then did Lu Ping realize that he was still holding the other person's wrist, and quickly let go: "Sorry, of course, no one restricts your freedom... But I suddenly thought, can I hire you as my employee? My store We happen to be short of a clerk here, and I can give you a daily salary of 300 currency coins."
"Huh?" The blonde girl was obviously stunned. From a hostage to a hired clerk, the identity change seemed to be too fast, catching her off guard, "I, ah, no, this salary is really high, but I..."
"Don't be afraid... Forget it, you should go home first... This Liaoyuan Food Store is my store. If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time." Lu Ping smiled.
Emma looked at him with some confusion, and then ran away nimbly like a sleepwalking deer.
After she left, Lupine also patted his head.
In my memory, Father Vic's family was not wealthy and his life was very difficult, otherwise he would not still be living in a slum alley. In particular, Papa Vic's clinic often receives street gangsters who default on their bills and even break up their accounts. It would be good to have a net profit of 5,000 points in a month.
And Lupine gives Emma 300 a day, which is 9,000 currency a month, which is almost twice the business of Dad's clinic!
He just had an impromptu idea and wanted to help Emma. Anyway, Liaoyuan Food Store needed a new clerk... This food store was opened on a bustling commercial street. It was also a officially registered store, and there were very few blade guards. When someone comes to cause trouble, it is safer than Emma receiving those unscrupulous people in the clinic.
This is just an interlude.
But in the evening, Lu Ping received another uninvited guest.
"Yan Xuan?" Lu Ping remembered that this man was one of the managers of the Blade Gang. He was a fair and elegant young man wearing black-rimmed glasses.
But at this time, the other party was wearing a sweatshirt and hood, looking mysterious.
"What are you doing here?" Lupine asked.
"Come to inform the gang leader." Yan Xuan looked around and lowered his voice, "Sophie met with you in the afternoon, and all the impoverished people who were captured were released by you with great fanfare. This matter spread. Many people The gang members took this as a signal, guessing that your management style may be very different from that of the previous gang leader Wang! Some people are worried about being liquidated and are already preparing some small actions..."
"?" Lu Ping was confused in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, "Tell me in detail."
"The ones who are restless are naturally the group of people represented by Sophie." Yan Xuan seemed to have been prepared for it, and said quickly, "You have been responsible for the store on the surface before, maybe you don't know... In fact Only about half of our Blade Gang's income comes from serious sources, such as investment and protection fees, etc., and the other half comes from illegal business!"
"Erotic business, illegal prosthetic modifications, human trafficking, underground casinos, drugs, black boxing matches... In fact, our gang is involved in everything."
"You also know that our Blade Gang is the youngest among the Sixteen Evils. We have only been established a few years ago and our foundation is not strong enough. Gang Leader Wang has always been acquiescing to these illegal businesses... If it weren't for your brilliant business skills, I'm afraid These black income are the main financial source of the Blade Gang!"
"Now that you have become the gang leader, the people in charge of the black business are waiting and watching, guessing your attitude."
"And Sophie was driven away in the afternoon, and you released all the impoverished people you captured... This incident was taken by them as a signal, a signal that you can't tolerate this kind of sand in your eyes! Naturally, they are all afraid of being liquidated. I am even more afraid that the benefits I have obtained will fly away, and I have already begun to plan my escape..."
"So," Lu Ping narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man with fair glasses in front of him, "You are not one of them. Are you here to show your loyalty to me this time?"
"It can't be hidden from the eyes of the gang leader." Yan Xuan smiled, "I have always disliked their behavior. Although we are gangs, it does not mean we must be bad people. Look at the other old gangs of the Sixteen Shas, which one is not a gangster? Should we manage the land as our own garden? The police in Dreamweaver City don’t care about our tenth district, so the gangsters have to be responsible for enforcing the rules. Otherwise, if this place is really chaotic, who will still want to live here? By then everyone will If we break up, the Blade Gang will no longer be able to brag about itself."
"Having said so much, Yan Xuan thinks that the gang leader is a sensible person, and I would venture to guess that the gang leader is also willing to clean up the mess in the gang! Let the Blade Gang develop healthily! If so, as long as the gang leader says a word, Yan Xuan will do the same. Pledge allegiance to the death!”
"But if Yan Xuan is wrong, I'm really sorry. I will never upset you. I will quit the Blade Gang today and never appear in front of you again in this life..."
"What's my idea of running the Blade Gang?" Lu Ping was silent.
He didn't have any ideas. He was just pretending to be for a period of time for his own safety and interests.
But at this time, I don't know whether it was the impact of the kidnapping of a group of innocent poor people in the afternoon, or the influence of the original memory... Lu Ping suddenly felt that maybe he shouldn't really be indifferent to everything, and just be a Throw away the shopkeeper.
Yes, the world is dark and shit happens all the time.
But at least now, he is the leader of the Blade Gang! One word of your own can change the fate of many people!
Someone like Emma, someone like the original person!
"I have to say, you are very courageous." Lu Ping quickly gathered his attention and patted Yan Xuan on the shoulder, "But you made the right bet."
"Collect all the information you can get, sort it out and send it to me. I want to know who is starting to make the move, as well as their address and number of people."
"After that...you don't have to worry about it."
