Chapter 362: Help me calculate when I will get rich

When eating in the cafeteria at noon, Lu Datou slipped to Chen Guanlou's side.

While swallowing a large mouthful, he muttered in a low voice: "I colluded with the people from the brothel, and they said that no strangers were seen in the brothel that night; those who came were all regular customers. Are you sure you were followed?"

Chen Guanlou nodded.

He told Lu Datou about being followed, leaving out the beginning and the end, and asked Lu Datou to help him inquire in the market. Lu Datou had broad connections and contact with people from all walks of life. He was familiar with the thugs, guards, and turtle-men on the flower street side.

To inquire about things on the flower street, ask the boss; the boss's news was probably not as well-informed as this group of inconspicuous thugs and guards. This group of people was like the information organization at the entrance of the village, the gossiping women in the vegetable market; within a radius of one thousand meters, there was nothing they didn't know. The new girl in the building next door, what color underwear she wore when she got up in the morning, they could inquire clearly and brightly.

"If you can't inquire, forget it."

"Why not ask Old Chaofeng? Things that can't be inquired about in the market, Old Chaofeng must know." Lu Datou suggested.

Chen Guanlou asked him, "Is Old Chaofeng still working in the gambling den?"

"Yes! I heard people say that Old Chaofeng is retiring in the gambling den. He cooperates with the gambling den and has his own news channels."

Chen Guanlou pondered.

He had suspected whether the human trafficker Qi Laoda had made a comeback? Since the young widow Pan Niangzi left, his side had been quiet.

He didn't know how the young widow Pan Niangzi handled the task, but since then, Qi Laoda's people had disappeared. After a few years, why did this group suddenly make a comeback at this time? It didn't make sense!

He hadn't done anything recently, honestly doing his job, and hadn't privately cracked down on human trafficking organizations. Mainly, that group of people was too cunning. Or perhaps the capital was a place of benevolence, and human traffickers seemed to have been rarely active in the capital for the past two years, perhaps they had shifted their positions; vast rural towns were the fertile soil for human traffickers to be active. Anyway, he hadn't heard of anyone losing children for a long time.

He didn't know that the news of the Hu family being exterminated overnight spread, and human traffickers all over the world were shocked and restrained themselves.

The prestige of the Nameless Hero had been spreading in the Jianghu for the past few years. Someone opened a gambling pool and offered a heavy reward to find this Nameless Hero.

Chen Guanlou ate public food and didn't mix in the Jianghu, so he didn't know these things at all. If he were willing to walk around the Bing-sized prison twice and ask those Jianghu bandits, he might be able to catch a glimpse of the truth.

Lu Datou only loved money and didn't love to join in the excitement of the Jianghu; he stayed as far away as possible from fighting and killing, so naturally, he didn't know about this matter either.

If Chen Guanlou was in the mood one day and revealed his identity as the Nameless Hero, I am afraid many Jianghu people would rush to hear the news, half to compete with him—winning would make money, and losing wouldn't be shameful. The other half would admire his character and want to mix with him, also wanting to be a hero respected by everyone, preferably with food, housing, and social security.

Finally, Chen Guanlou listened to Lu Datou's suggestion and ran to the gambling den to find Old Chaofeng to inquire about news.

After a long time, he not only offered news fees but also prepared a gift for Old Chaofeng. It wasn't a valuable gift, just two taels of tea leaves, which he plucked from the Hou Fu.

He found that there was nothing bad in the Hou Fu; whatever it was, as long as it was brought out from the Hou Fu, it was a rare item outside. Some were even good things that couldn't be bought with money.

Mainly, it was because of the Master's light.

The Master, as the head of the Hou Fu, used, drank, and ate the top-tier things in the world. If he leaked a little bit, it would make outsiders flock to it.

Therefore, when he brought two taels of tea leaves to Old Chaofeng, it surprised the other party.

"Top-tier sparrow tongue, where did you get it? This is not easy to get; there is no place to buy it even with money."

"Taken from the Hou Fu."

"No wonder!" The Old Chaofeng felt a sense of clarity in his heart. "It is only a distinguished family like the Hou Fu that would not lack such good things. You are not bad yourself; to actually be able to gain the recognition of the Hou Fu and even bring out such top-tier tea leaves from the Hou Fu, you have some ability."

Chen Guanlou smiled lightly and said modestly: "The old master overpraised me. I just happened to meet the occasion, and the Master of the Hou Fu was kind-hearted, seeing that I was pitiful, and gave me a point or two of face."

"Being valued by the Marquis is naturally because you have something extraordinary. Don't talk about these; you came to find this old man, what news do you want to inquire about?"

"A few days ago, when I came out of the brothel, I was followed by people of unknown origin. I recalled everything that happened in the past half year and didn't offend anyone. I also asked people to investigate, but nothing was found. There was no way, so I had to ask you, old master. Help me inquire about who is looking at me unpleasantly, and when I offended someone without knowing it."

Chen Guanlou said sincerely.

Old Chaofeng's face, full of gullies, looked very miserable when he didn't smile.

Chen Guanlou noticed that Old Chaofeng's realm had fallen. He was still Fourth-Rank, but compared to the situation when his blood and energy were still considered sufficient when they first met, Old Chaofeng's appearance didn't show it now, but his internal organs were clearly aging. If they fought, I am afraid a Third-Rank warrior could take him down.

Old!

After all, he was old!

"Is my matter very difficult?" Seeing that the other party hadn't spoken for a long time, Chen Guanlou couldn't help but ask.

Old Chaofeng shook his head slowly, looked at him deeply again, and said: "This old man has noted your matter and will arrange for capable people to inquire about the situation. When there is news, I will notify you as soon as possible. However, this old man will say one more word: your job, which seems not easy to offend people, is actually very easy to offend people."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "Does the old master mean that I might have offended someone unconsciously while on duty?"

"Perhaps. When there is further news, this old man will notify you. You go back first, don't let your imagination run wild, it's fine."

"Does the old master already know something?" Chen Guanlou asked very straightforwardly.

Old Chaofeng laughed, "If this old man says that I know a little bit about physiognomy, do you believe it?"

"The old master actually knows physiognomy. Then look at my physiognomy, how is it? When will I be rich, with beautiful wives and concubines?" Chen Guanlou really wasn't provoking him; he was really a bit interested. He wouldn't specifically find someone to look at his physiognomy and tell his fortune, but if he met one, he was still willing to have it calculated.

I guess no one can resist this temptation.

"You are too difficult for this old man. This old man's three-legged cat skills, speaking shamelessly that I know a little bit, actually only know a little fur. I looked at your physiognomy; if there is really trouble, it can only be caused by the job, and there is no obstacle in private."

"So that's it! Thank you, old master, for telling me. I haven't been able to eat or sleep for these few days; I hope the old master can help me find out the truth as soon as possible."

"Rest assured, I will definitely find out for you."

Chen Guanlou cupped his hands, got up, and left the second floor.

Lu Datou, who accompanied him, was already addicted to gambling downstairs, shouting and screaming with a group of gamblers, fully engaged.

He didn't disturb the other party and left directly. ===== CHAPTER 363 =====
