Chapter 355 Chapter 352 Finding Something to Do

Joining the riot squad in exchange for survival, if you think about it carefully, is indeed a feasible solution. Although if you want to do this, you need to have good connections in the PCPD and the riot squad. Both parties must cooperate and respond quickly. It seems that this is not difficult for Mike. But whether he can survive in the end depends on whether the other party will stop. If you really want to kill him, there are always many ways, whether it is to squat in his house or ambush him during a mission.

Regarding this part of the question, Lucy's answer was this: "The people who wanted to kill him were afraid of his eccentric ability to dig out the inside story of the case. Now that he has left the detective position and gone to the riot squad to fight, this part of the threat no longer exists. This part of the threat no longer exists. This Mike has used practical actions to beg for mercy and to be spared, and with the deterrence of the riot squad, he has hope of survival. "

"If we still want to kill him, the riot squad will definitely retaliate for the safety of all its members. At this time, we must weigh the interests between avenging the dead killer and stopping the loss." Lucy said: "In short Well, Mike has got a chance to survive, and I hope he will have a good outcome. "

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and shook his head slowly, saying: "If Mike survives, will trouble come to me? Everyone knows that Mike's ability cannot kill the killer..."

"Didn't you think about this problem when you intervened?" Lucy tapped her fingers on the table and said.

"I thought about it, but it was a dilemma at the time. If Mike was allowed to be killed, the case Mike was investigating would become a clue. The PCPD has the habit of taking notes. Anyone who finds his notes will see that the target of his investigation is me. Then I still can’t escape trouble. In my imagination, I think Mike can live for a while, I can figure out the whole story, explain my funeral, and eliminate the suspects in the 623 case..."

"So that's what you were thinking about. I thought you were just helping out out of kindness, or because your hands were itchy and you wanted to compete with others." Lucy waved her hand and said, "The middleman has a way to deal with the trouble later. As long as no one knows that you have done this, it means it never happened. But you have to pay attention to two things in the future: cleaning up traces costs money, and not all traces can be cleaned up. It is best to book services early. Before it’s too late.”

"There are three things to pay attention to."

"It is indeed three o'clock - it seems that you have remembered it after listening to it." Lucy rubbed her hands and said: "I will keep an eye on the follow-up impact of the 623 case. If the PCPD does not continue to advance the investigation, then this matter will be closed. . Go back and have a good rest, there are no tasks for you recently.”

"Gogongdao and I have lowered the price."

"I know. You two want more tasks, but you can't be sent to investigate cheating situations for clients, right?" Lucy sighed and said, "The problem now is not that there is no work, but that I am too busy. Intelligence The analysis and support capabilities have reached their limit. I am trying to get rid of some people who are too specialized and focus on the limited support capabilities. During this period, you will have some time to relax."

"Okay. I hope you can finish the renovation soon. By the way, the house problem..."

"Look, I have a lot of things going on here, right?" Lucy waved her hand and said, "I'm helping you replace the one you like. Go back and wait for the news. This will only happen if the original owner of the household moves out. Who told you that you didn't like it? Brand new?”

"The house I like has a better environment...Okay, I won't disturb you anymore, you are busy, you are busy..."

Lucy was indeed very busy, so busy that she felt like she couldn't complete all the work even with all her strength. It was originally thought that by doubling the number of mercenaries and service personnel on both sides and expanding the scale simultaneously, work balance would be maintained, but in fact that was not the case at all. Doubling the number of mercenaries brought at least three times the workload.

The biggest problem is Lucy herself. She can recruit mercenaries and service personnel, but she cannot recruit another self. All matters involving confidentiality must be handled by her personally, and the command of mercenary missions and auxiliary operations must also be in her hands, because if anything goes wrong, she is ultimately responsible. If the command center is not enough, everyone's action efficiency will be reduced, and the possibility of risks will increase. Any small problem requires extra attention, which further adds to the stress of the job.

She doesn't want to find a partner, Meteor is not a suitable successor, and her "small group" is destined to be unable to operate dual-core. She had no choice but to reduce her manpower and "invite" some mercenaries out. During this process, her operation needs to be very careful and careful, and it is best to be gentle and to satisfy all parties. Not all mercenaries are like Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao who can be moral and disciplined no matter what the situation. Some people usually look fine, but when encountering a situation, there is no telling what kind of behavior they will have.

Lucy must prepare for the worst-case scenario, and Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Xuteng are one of her means to keep the bottom of the situation. Because of this, when Zhuang Xuteng said that he needed cleaning services, she would immediately send someone over to complete those tasks as quickly as possible. Regarding the difficulties she was currently encountering, including the need to lay off employees, she did not hide it from Zhuang Xuteng so that he could be fully mentally prepared. Only in this way, when she needs emergency help, Zhuang Xuteng's actions will be more efficient.

These are indeed calculations, but they are not conspiracies. Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao are actually very clear in their hearts that Lucy, as a middleman, can be said to be "over-caring" for these mercenaries. Especially Ge Gongdao, he has not had a middleman for a long time. He has worked for many middlemen and understands the status of this industry. Most middlemen - or normal middlemen - are bosses and supervisors. A few are like Steyer, the middleman between Nightingale and Rock Sparrow, who are simply slave owners.

Since Lucy said that she was too busy, Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao were happy to be idle. They prefer to act with sufficient intelligence and logistical support, rather than relying on on-the-spot performance. In this way, the opening of the implant maintenance store is at the right time. They have invested money, energy and hope in it, and of course they have to take good care of it.

The manager of the implant store is still Doyle. He is tall, strong and old, and his whole face looks like the type who is proficient in handling all kinds of tedious chores. Zhuang Xuteng and others hid behind the scenes. They applied for VIP cards No. 2 to 5 of the implant shop together. As for VIP card No. 1, it must be Lucy's, and she doesn't need to pay for it.

Zhuang Xuteng bought VIP cards No. 6 and No. 7. He prepared one for Morgana and the other for Liuxing. Considering that Liuxing still dared not go out, this card might never be used, but Zhuang Xuteng had to give it to her, after all, there was a favor involved.

"If there is a chance to bring Liuxing here, she should be very happy, right?"

Based on the simple idea that serving intelligence information personnel well is equivalent to buying yourself an extra life, Zhuang Xuteng has very high requirements for the implant maintenance shop. The best equipment is used, and the auxiliary drugs, equipment and consumables are selected with the most guaranteed effect. Even the training of service personnel is in accordance with the hospital standards. At this time, the effect of his hard study of books related to Lanqi disease was revealed. He could not only explain to the operators why each step should be done in this way, but also put forward improvement requirements, making this store look particularly professional.

The best performing employee in the store is Dr. Truss Booker, now known as Lando Guy, and everyone calls him Old Guy. He is a real talent and is familiar with laboratory operating specifications. Although he has no medical experience, he is more accustomed to a stricter environment because he follows the rules and operates safely. Especially when he saw Zhuang Xuteng again, he immediately guessed that this was his business and couldn't help but pay more attention to it. After his observation, he thought that Zhuang Xuteng, Ge Gongdao and others were the mercenary team that pulled him out of the company prison, and he immediately had more awe.

He still doesn't know how he was rescued.

Continuing the good habit of sticking to his lifelong habit, Old Guy took notes diligently and wrote down all the details of the equipment operation. Because he had more knowledge, he soon discovered that Zhuang Xuteng's knowledge of implant diseases was amazing, far beyond the level that a mercenary could master on a daily basis. Combined with the previous meetings with Zhuang Xuteng, he speculated that Zhuang Xuteng started as a medical student and later switched to the mercenary industry.

He made up a lot of things in his mind, and these unfounded information made it even more difficult for him to leave his current group. He knew that he could not go back as Truss Booker. Even if he did, his family would not recognize him because of the changes in his body shape and smell caused by plastic surgery, voice change, and implants. He only asked Zhuang Xuteng for one thing: to find out about his family so that he could feel at ease.

This request was not excessive. He could just use an intermediary to find a local mercenary to investigate a little, which would also improve confidentiality. However, Zhuang Xuteng also warned him that although no one would stop him from leaving, he could not come back once he left. They would pretend that they had never seen him and would not provide any help.

"On the other hand, if you are sure you want to leave, tell me and I will give you a sum of money." Zhuang Xuteng said, "To put it bluntly, it is the money you wanted to use to pay for your escape from prison. That is your money, no matter the benefits or risks in it, it is also yours. I am not greedy."

What to do in the end was left to the doctor to decide, but at this stage he did not dare to face the risk alone. In this way, Old Man Gai stayed and became the "top card" of the implant maintenance shop with his most skilled operation. As for Zhuang Xuteng, he belongs to the hidden menu and is only operated by VIP customers who are particularly familiar with him.

Before the opening, everyone in the team plus Doyle enjoyed the implant maintenance service provided by Zhuang Xuteng, and everyone felt better than ever before. Zhuang Xuteng cheated, of course. The absorption of resentment by the necromancy spell was the fundamental reason why these people felt good, and the maintenance equipment and medicine only played a supporting role. Among the few people, Nightingale and Rock Sparrow had long known that Zhuang Xuteng had superb skills, so they did not show a very surprised state. Ge Gongdao has dormant martial arts skills, a good physical foundation, and very little accumulation of side effects, and he did not feel much. Doyle had accumulated quite a lot of side effects for various reasons, and he became refreshed all of a sudden after being picked up by Zhuang Xuteng.

"Has technology advanced so much now?" Doyle widened his eyes and said, "This is better than the professional maintenance effect I got in the army and the boxing club! If you can maintain this level, you can even squeeze out the work of the hospital!"

"We have made progress, and the hospital is also developing. Is it better over there?" Zhuang Xuteng said to Doyle: "The fact that several major companies and the constitutional government can release this industry shows that they are fully confident that we cannot really pose a threat. . So don’t think about trying to make a lot of money by destroying other people. Let’s maintain the store first. Besides, no one else in the store is at my level.”

"That's true..." Doyle said with a smile: "If you change your career to this, you won't make less money. You are quite capable."

"Don't say that. I can only compare myself with novices. If I compare myself with experienced people from professional institutions such as hospitals, I would be showing my cowardice!" Zhuang Xuteng wiped his hands and looked at the street outside through the window of the treatment room. "Are there any other implant shops around here? How strong is the gang?"

"Yes, there is one at three intersections to the east. The two to the west and south are further away, with five intersections. The one further to the north has no competition with us. I have gone to see it, and the one to the west looks like Those who really do this are gang industries, and the main business is Safe Blue. This area is under the jurisdiction of the Cemetery Gang, and Safe Blue also belongs to them.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and asked, "Have the Cemetery Gang come to see you?"

"I've been here, and I've dealt with it. I said I won't be involved in any scams, and I won't hinder them from making money. I didn't bother to argue with them about the protection fee. I'll pay whatever others around me pay. Fortunately, the PCPD branch Within two intersections to the north, the possibility of the Cemetery Gang coming here to cause trouble is relatively low.”

"PCPD can't even clear the protection money within two blocks?" Zhuang Xuteng frowned and asked.

"Clean up? Don't be ridiculous, I have to pay the PCPD!" Doyle sighed and said: "Because your hands-on skills are strong enough, what you are most afraid of now is not the gangs, but the PCPD. If The business here is good and the treatment effect is good, so they will definitely come. If you pay in cash, it will be fine. Once it turns into accounting, it will be troublesome. It turns out that this is the case in the laundry room. I took over the business of washing uniforms from PCPD. It turned out that there was money that I still haven’t been able to get back.”

"Then there will be no accounting, and everything will be paid in cash." After Zhuang Xuteng finished speaking, he thought about it carefully and said, "I'm just expressing a suggestion. It's up to you to decide how to do it. You know more about what's going on on the street, and you make the decision The judgment is more correct."

Doyle nodded and said: "You are so generous that you can trust me so much and leave the matter to me! But I also have selfish motives, so you have to be careful about me."

"Your selfish motive is to avenge the drug dealers. I was at the scene, of course I know it very well." Zhuang Xuteng narrowed his eyes and said: "I have the same idea, but I still have concerns. I can only do it if I find a good opportunity. You ask first Check out the news and find out what's going on around you. You can also ask Nightingale and Yanque for help. They know the technology. Brother Dao and I both need some sparring partners to improve our martial arts skills."

"I understand." Doyle twisted his mouth and smiled.
