Evon Garcia?
Jiang Shu’s brows furrowed with a hint of confusion, thinking, what could the son of Seal possibly want from me?
He glanced at Shen Xuwan in the car and instructed, "Don’t move around in the car, there’s a pistol under your seat, pay attention to your safety, and find me immediately if anything happens."
"Understood!" Shen Xuwan nodded in response.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shu walked according to the directions on the paper airplane, with cards covering his entire body, ready to form a protective wall of cards at any time.
Soon, in a secluded corner of the wall, Jiang Shu saw two people, one was Evon Garcia, and the other was his bodyguard.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang," said Evon politely.
"What do you want, be quick," Jiang Shu asked bluntly, "If it’s to avenge your father, then you’ve got the wrong person."
"No, no, no, I understand, Mr. Jiang, you are not the murderer," Evon’s eyes showed no sorrow, he spoke in a calm tone, "The murderer was a mechanical disciple, so, to take revenge, I’ve brought their information."
"Information?"
"Thirteen... oh no, twelve disciples were left with five because seven died, and the leader, Black Shark, is seriously injured. If they have time, in a year, another powerful mechanical disciple will emerge," Evon said, "So, I need to borrow Mr. Jiang to reveal their hideout to the police station."
"Why don’t you do it yourself?" Jiang Shu asked curiously.
"Me? I can’t," Evon shook his head, "I’ve collaborated with some of my father’s old subordinates, and they all despise the police station, believing that it was their cooperation with the police station that gave the mechanical disciple’s assassins an opportunity. And currently... I do not have enough power to control them, so I can only rely on you to completely exterminate the mechanical disciples."
"Alright, give me the information, and as for what to do, I’ll decide for myself." Jiang Shu extended his hand for the information.
"Sure." Evon nodded, glancing at his bodyguard, who immediately opened the briefcase in his hands for Jiang Shu to review.
Inside the briefcase was a file and five small boxes.
Evon continued, "The file contains the current details of the mechanical disciples, along with 500 grams of Black Silver. Mr. Jiang, can we become friends?"
Jiang Shu thought for a moment with a frown, then slowly nodded, taking the briefcase, "Sure, 500 grams of Black Silver to help you."
Black Silver was both fortune and a resource, which was crucial to compete for, but he did not want to get too involved with this person, seeing the shadow of his father in Evon.
Given time, Evon could go farther than his father, as his starting point was higher.
"Sure." Evon heard the distance in Jiang Shu’s tone but wasn’t upset, he waved goodbye, "Then, see you, Mr. Jiang."
"Mhm." Jiang Shu watched as Evon and his bodyguard left, then opened the briefcase, secured the five small boxes, and opened the folder, letting the Tablet Spirits record it.
"Reliability?" he looked towards the Tablet Spirit.
A complete piece of information, hard to perfectly forge as a lie usually needs more lies to cover it up. After a full verification by the Tablet Spirits, the truth of the information could be discerned.
A: The information is very complete, 90% true.
Jiang Shu turned and walked towards Wolf’s car, Wolf had not yet returned, so he opened the trunk and took out the Magic Table.
"Hm?" Shen Xuwan inside the car sensed the movement, turning her head to look at Jiang Shu through the rear window.
"Shh—" Jiang Shu just gestured to her to keep quiet.
Shen Xuwan silently nodded and then turned away.
Jiang Shu, holding the Magic Table, found a secluded spot and set it up there, also a blind spot to surveillance.
Thinking it over, he then covered it with a black cloth, blending the Magic Table with the surrounding environment, making it difficult to be found under normal circumstances.
"Ding, stay here," Jiang Shu turned and instructed Ding, "Stay here on standby."
Tablet Spirit Ding seemed to understand, stood at attention, and saluted.
Afterward, Jiang Shu walked back to Wolf’s parking spot, and Wolf was already waiting in the car.
"What did you do?" Wolf asked curiously, "Didn’t I ask you to stay in the car?"
"I had to use the bathroom," Jiang Shu chuckled and retorted to Wolf, "Nothing happened on your end, right?"
"Nothing, just happened to be taking the high-speed rail too," Wolf said, then got out of the car, "Bring your stuff, let’s go back to the Seventh District. I’ve set the car’s autopilot destination, it will return to the Thirteen District Police Station on its own."
"Sure." Jiang Shu got out of the car, grabbed his own bag, and the three of them headed upstairs to the waiting hall.
——
PM.
"Sigh—finally back." Jiang Shu put down his simple luggage, looking at the neatly cleaned Magic House, silently thanking Shen Xuwan, then flopped onto the bed, not wanting to move anymore.
But moments later, a series of footsteps approached from far and near, followed by the characteristic voice of Sister Mei, "Jiang Shu! You... are back?"
"What else?" Jiang Shu chuckled, climbing up from the bed, "Ran into a little trouble, but luckily it’s nothing serious."
"That’s good, that’s good." Sister Mei looked him up and down, seeing he was indeed alright, she felt relieved, "Well, I won’t pry further, don’t worry about work for now, take a week off to relax."
"No, Sister Mei, schedule a magic show for next week," Jiang Shu sincerely said, "I miss my audience."
It was not just craving new entries, mainly missing the stage, feeling the itch.
