Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 236: No business, no rape

Views:

When the "Old Tune Group" returned to the hotel camp, Lehman was already waiting outside the "05" room.

As soon as the smuggler who looked like a simple and honest farmer saw Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and the others getting out of the car, he greeted them and said with a flattering smile:

"I heard that you entered the 'underground ark' and met DiMarco?"

His eyes were full of anticipation.

This time, he did not bring those few bodyguards and made them all wait in the distance, because he had already figured out that the team in front of him was stronger than he imagined, and there was almost no difference between having bodyguards and no bodyguards.

He felt that even if he transferred the military exoskeleton device ordered by the customer to himself first, it would not make much sense. After all, the other party also had one, and, at close range, how could the exoskeleton device stop the Awakened

So, it's better not to bring bodyguards.

This is, according to the grey earth language, "show it with sincerity".

Hearing Lehman's question, Jiang Baimian laughed jokingly:

"You have so many friends.

"Watch out for your friends in the church?"

Lehman did not deny it, and nodded lightly:

"How? What did Dimarco say?"

"He said that Lars found true love in the 'underground ark' and will not return to the surface. If you don't believe it, you can go to the vigilant church, and he will let Lars video call you." Jiang Baimian replied At that time, he saw that Lehman's expression changed uncontrollably.

He seemed a little disbelieving and a little angry, but in the end he fell silent on the fact that he could make a video call.

This means that DiMarco is not lying.

Few people would tell such a lie that they turned their heads and were exposed.

After a long silence, Lehman twitched the corners of his mouth, as if trying to squeeze out a smile:

"I'll check.

"Thank you for your help."

Although he understood the other party's emotions and had some sympathy, Jiang Baimian still asked:

"Then, what about the promised reward?"

"Which one do you want?" Lehman seemed to recover quickly.

Before Jiang Baimian could answer, he added:

"What I meant earlier was that I would do my best to help you get controlled items, including military exoskeletons and T1 robotic arms, which would consume the favors I've accumulated and cause rifts in the relationship I've managed to build.

"In other words, remuneration refers to intangible but very valuable things such as channels and pathways, and the items themselves still require you to give enough consideration.

"Of course, I will give you a discount and give you the biggest discount."

Before Jiang Baimian could respond, Shang Jianyao interjected:

"That's your lover!"

Lehman showed a bitter smile:

"It now looks like it probably isn't anymore."

So the value goes down? Jiang Baimian was amused by this sentence.

She discovered that Lehman was a profiteer at heart.

However, she didn't feel that she could get a military exoskeleton device or a newer robotic arm with just one or two casual questions. In her imagination, she and the others braved the hail of bullets and the interference of several Awakeneds, forcibly broke into the "underground ark", brought Lars out, and then took the reward from Lehman confidently.

So, she didn't feel angry, she smiled and said:

"So misleading us, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of the redstone set?"

Lehman's body suddenly froze.

Tsk, the image of our big villain is quite popular... Seeing this scene, Long Yuehong sighed in his heart with a funny smile.

Seeing that this development was going to turn into "extortion", Jiang Baimian stopped the performance that Shang Jianyao was trying to make in time, and sighed:

"For the sake of losing your lover, just do it.

"After you go back, use your channel and your relationship to help us get a military exoskeleton device and a robotic arm, and the model should not be too old.

"When the time comes, you inform us, and we will gather supplies to trade."

This kind of controlled items, even if the team can't use it at that time, they can make a lot of money by changing hands.

"Both military exoskeletons and robotic arms?" Lehman was a little embarrassed.

"Yes." Jiang Baimian was not polite.

Seeing that the "big villain" had already given in, Lehman couldn't bargain anymore, so he could only smile reluctantly:

"No problem, but it will take a long time.

"How do I inform you?"

When Jiang Baimian made the request, he already had a mature plan, and said directly at this time:

"I will give you a telegram frequency band and corresponding password. After you get those two items, send a telegram to us every night at 8 o'clock for a month.

"If we haven't responded, after that month, you are free to dispose of those two items."

The password for the text message she was going to give was the one that was more common in the dust, and it wasn't a secret thing anyway.

Leiman thought for a while and agreed.

After sending the arms dealer away, Jiang Baimian looked around and said:

"One more thing solved.

"Next, let's go inside the redstone set, find Mrs. Teresa, and ask who Herwig has had trouble with in the last month."

She lowered the level of "troubled trouble" to "unpleasant trouble" to avoid omissions.

"I think it's difficult to find out." Bai Chen expressed his opinion, "According to DiMarco, just a few jokes may trigger the murderer's malicious intent, and in daily life, jokes are staged every day. No one can remember things clearly, just like Long Yuehong can't tell how many times Shang Jianyao beats him every day."

Long Yuehong opened her mouth and found that she really couldn't speak.

"What if he could say it?" Shang Jianyao asked with the wrong key point.

Bai Chen pursed his mouth and did not answer, Jiang Baimian laughed:

"That means that his spirit was hit by you and there was a problem."

Before Long Yuehong could react, she added:

"Fortunately, our little red is optimistic and positive."

"It's okay." Long Yuehong was a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Shang Jianyao smiled and said:

"You still wet the bed when you were five."

"Go away!" Long Yuehong blurted out angrily.

In the Redstone Collection, in the "Gunfire" shop, the "Old Tune Team" and a group of four met Mrs. Teresa again.

She was still wearing that heavy black dress and hat with a long black gauze hanging down.

"Is there any progress?" Teresa asked calmly.

Compared with some time ago, she seems to be less panic, excited and restless, and has some confidence.

"That's it, we have checked the list of Mr. Herwig's enemies initially, and no one is suspected." Jiang Baimian opened his eyes and said nonsense, "We want to obtain more information, for example, Mr. Herwig recently Who have you had a bad time with in a few months? Or, who have you made a bad joke on?"

Teresa thought for a while and said:

"Too much.

"He likes to laugh at others very much. If he makes jokes too much, then most people in Redstone will be suspect."

How annoying is this Mr. Herwig... Jiang Baimian opened his mouth slightly, both funny and helpless.

Shang Jianyao sighed:

"pity… "

"What a pity?" Long Yuehong asked while holding the venue.

"It's a pity that I didn't see Mr. Herwig alive." Shang Jianyao raised his hand and touched his monkey mask, "Otherwise, we can have a competition to see who angers who first."

Teresa didn't care about the conversation between Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, she was silent for a few seconds and said:

"The mission is here."

"Don't investigate?" Jiang Baimian asked back with some foreboding.

Teresa nodded:

"It can be seen that there is little hope of finding out about this matter, and it will involve most of the people in the Redstone Set. I have to think about my future life and that of my children.

"Anyway, he has offended enough people, and I have already prepared for his sudden death."

You didn't say that before... Jiang Baimian silently retorted.

Suddenly, she wondered why Teresa had changed her attitude:

When Herwig died suddenly, Teresa was worried that the arms business would be taken away, and that her subordinates would change their families. Naturally, she showed that she attached great importance to her husband and cared about this matter. Now, she seems to have stabilized the small forces. , established a friendship with Lehman and others, and was no longer in the midst of internal and external troubles.

Therefore, for her, how Herwig died is no longer a matter of concern. After all, she and Herwig have no relationship for a long time.

Maybe, she was among the people who wanted Herwig to die.

Seeing that the four members of the "Qianbai Squad" were silent, Teresa misunderstood their demands and quickly added:

"I will not ask you to return the corresponding compensation.

"You guys were able to get those arms back in a short period of time, which really helped me a lot."

Herwig is really a failure... Jiang Baimian secretly sighed and nodded lightly:

"That's it, just go to the guild and cancel the mission."

When the "gun fire" came out, Jiang Baimian looked around, adjusted his mood, and said with a smile:

"Let's go, go to the 'non-toxic restaurant' to buy some ingredients, and let's make our own barbecue at night to celebrate!"

Celebrating most of your team's redstone set is over.

"Okay, okay!" Long Yuehong responded with bright eyes.

Jiang Baimian smiled "hehe":

"I'll get some spices and coals later, and I'll show you Chef Jiang's secret barbecue."

"Do you want to compare?" Shang Jianyao asked excitedly.

"Compare, compare!" Jiang Baimian asked himself whether he was good at cooking.

After speaking, she suddenly became alert and asked:

"Better than what?"

"Eat more than anyone else." Shang Jianyao was very calm.

Jiang Baimian spat and ignored him.

In the evening, in the hotel camp, the "old-tone team" put the marinated meat on a makeshift grill.

At this time, "Pangu creatures" returned the telegram.

Jiang Baimian quickly translated the code text and refined the company's reply into two parts:

"First, the Lake Island Temple does not need to be further explored;

"Second, let's observe Han Wangshou's performance for a while."

After reading the telegram, Jiang Baimian cursed angrily and hilariously:

"Observe for a while? People are going to leave, how can you observe? Really!"
