254. Chapter 251: True Feelings

When Pang Da knew that the place this "kind person" let him go was the Imperial District, he roughly knew who he was going to see next.

This was a very ordinary house on the side of the road, with a sign of "Wanli Firm" hanging on it. He knocked on the door.

Not long after, the door opened. The person inside sized him up. "Mr. Pang Da?"

Pang Da nodded. "It's me."

He was wearing a set of clothes that looked a bit casual today, wearing a fisherman's hat, which covered his physical signs and face to the maximum extent.

He put his hands in his pockets, a bit nervous.

As a law enforcement officer, this was the first time he had done this kind of thing.

The person inside invited him in. The slightly dim light bulb, although it could illuminate the corridor, would not be like the daytime.

"Mr. Lansi is on the phone, you need to wait for a while, but before that, do you mind if I search your body?", a very young face, looking even a bit immature.

However, in the confrontation between the two, this young man didn't retreat at all, but instead had a feeling of wanting to provoke!

Pang Da felt some unease. This was actually his first time contacting this kind of gang member who couldn't be considered too low-level. He didn't see a trace of awe for law enforcement officers in the other party's eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable and also feel fear.

As a law enforcement officer, everything he possessed was brought to him by this layer of identity, including safety.

When he lost the safety brought to him by this layer of identity, it meant he would become dangerous, just like the colleagues who were blown into pieces.

He looked at the young man, slowly took out his hands, and stretched them out. "What's your name?"

The young man started to carefully check whether he had brought any dangerous things, and at the same time answered casually, "Alan."

"Alan, are you the captain?"

Alan laughed twice. "How could you think so?", he looked at Pang Da's face again. "You see, I'm just a gatekeeper, I'm not any captain, although I long to become a captain."

He said and started to continue to perform his work, including Pang Da's balls being touched. On one hand, it was to ensure Lansi's safety, and on the other hand, it was actually also to give Pang Da a demonstration.

Through this method, Lansi wanted to give Pang Da a deep impression.

People in the Lansi family are not afraid of his law enforcement identity.

And obviously, Lansi's purpose was achieved.

"You can go in, there are no secret rooms here, you can turn around at will, wait for Lansi's phone call to end, and someone will take you over."

Pang Da seemed to be very interested in the Lansi family now. This was not the cold, emotionless text on the data, they could be contacted, talked to, and understood more deeply.

"Why don't you call him 'Boss' or 'Leader', because your relationship with him is different?"

Alan walked toward a room next to him, walking and shaking his head. "Because we are a family, we are brothers, you wouldn't call your brother some kind of Mr., so we just call him 'Lansi', not anything else."

"Of course, if you are willing, you can do so, no one will force you to do things you don't want to do."

Alan invited him. "We are playing cards, do you want to come in and play for a while?"

Pang Da looked at the dozen or so people sitting at the table through the door crack. They were very crowded, but they didn't care.

This was not a business-nature gambling table, it was just everyone playing together when they had nothing to do.

They were playing a game that was becoming popular. Everyone only had two cards in their hands at the beginning...

Everyone was playing with cash, which led to a large pile of cash on the table, looking like at least several hundred dollars.

Someone cursed, covered the cards, and stood up. Although everyone was brothers, they would still be angry and uncomfortable when they lost money.

"Do you want to play two hands?"

"Mr. Pang Da?"

Someone invited him, but he refused. "I don't know how to play this."

Others laughed, it was normal, kind, understanding laughter, or mocking laughter, who knew.

After about ten minutes, someone walked over. "Lansi's phone call is finished, who is Pang Da?"

Pang Da stood out, and the person who came signaled him to follow. "Follow me."

The two passed through the long corridor. Almost every room here had people. He even saw a group of people sitting at the table counting money through a half-covered door crack!

And people were constantly piling boxes of change onto the table. The money on the table was already piled up like a mountain!

When he arrived outside the last office door, he was inexplicably a bit nervous. The person who led him knocked on the door, then pushed it open. "Mr. Lansi is waiting for you inside, I remind you, don't do stupid things."

Saying that, he gave up the position and let Pang Da enter the room.

This was an office with a large bookcase, and the bookcase was filled with various books, which made Pang Da's impression of Lansi suddenly a bit better.

Compared to those gang members who liked to collect various bizarre props or weapons, Lansi, who would arrange a bookcase in the office, was ultimately a minority.

If he knew that Lansi hadn't read any of the books here, he might not have thought so.

"Sit!", Lansi reached out and signaled him to sit opposite him. "Do you smoke?"

He opened the cigarette case lid and pushed it over. On one side were cigarettes, and on the other side were cigars. Pang Da was indeed a bit nervous. He took a cigarette and then sat down.

After he lit the cigarette, Lansi looked at him. "Mr. Pang Da, I am a person who likes making friends. I am friends with many people."

"I believe that the purpose of your coming here today is also like this."

Lansi said, showing some smiles. "I might have spoken too directly, I hope I didn't scare you."

"We didn't know each other before today. I believe the reason that made us sit here and chat is not that I want to understand you, or you want to understand me."

"Maybe we will understand each other as our cooperation deepens, but now, our purpose is only one."

"Let us become friends first!"

Pang Da's brain couldn't keep up with Lansi's speed. After a long while, he said, "You don't look like your age."

He felt that Lansi had a very "old" feeling when he spoke, more like a person in his forties who had rich experience and knowledge and mastered power, and every word he said revealed a sense of seeing through and being unquestionable.

Lansi laughed and said, "When you are whipped by this society and don't have a piece of good skin on your body, you will gain a faster growth speed than others."

"No one wants to become more mature than their peers, Pang Da, because only pain makes people grow."

Pang Da felt that this sentence was very profound and had deep truth. He could only agree, and then he stated the purpose of his trip. "I need a sum of money, Mr. Lansi."

Lansi nodded slightly, but didn't express anything. He had to continue, "Fifty thousand dollars, cash or transfer is fine. I can provide you with some intelligence."

"Pass on five pieces of news!", he considered it and stated his bottom line.

The loss of Lansi's bar being ended before was basically around 10,000 dollars, so he thought 50,000 dollars for five pieces of news was a very worthwhile thing.

Lansi, however, shook his head slowly. "You didn't figure out one thing, Pang Da."

"You are not as smart and rational as your colleagues. Fifty thousand dollars, I can hire at least five of your colleagues to pass news for me."

"But you are only willing to give me five pieces of news!"

"You can go out and turn around to see if anyone is willing to spend this money for you."

The word "colleague" made Pang Da start to question some colleagues in the Hazardous Materials Administration, and at the same time expressed disdain for their "bidding" attitude.

More importantly, this kind of competition made him realize that he was not "unique" to Lansi. In other words, it didn't matter if he was there or not.

When a person is not so important, he will automatically lower many conditions.

Ten thousand dollars...

Well, ten thousand dollars was indeed not very good. He would work for seven or eight years without eating or drinking. In an instant, he suddenly had an enlightenment, why there were dirty cops, dirty agents.

Those federal officials, those people with power in their hands, why would they take dirty money.

Because they gave too much.

Fifty thousand dollars, forty years of income without eating or drinking, for a time he was also a bit at a loss, not knowing how to deal with the current situation.

Lansi looked at his slightly silly look and laughed. "I'll give you a condition, you come and listen."

"I'll give you ten thousand dollars at once, and then an extra three hundred dollars every month. For every useful piece of news passed on, I'll give you five hundred dollars."

"But I must remind you once, only the first person to tell me this news has this five hundred dollars."

"If you work hard, it's very easy to earn more than one thousand dollars a month."

"And for some intelligence, I might give you more money, two or three, three thousand, or even five thousand."

Lansi also took a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it, and his hand gestured on the table. "Besides that, I will also provide you with some intelligence clues for you to go and solve some cases, so that you have outstanding performance."

"This is New Jincheng, Pang Da, it belongs to the locals!"

"No one knows everything here better than us!"

"I can let you promote faster, senior agent, agent supervisor, or even deputy chief and chief, it's not without opportunity!"

"Our relationship is confidential, no one will know the relationship between us, you will become a star of the Hazardous Materials Administration, or even this system!"

"You should look at this place as your starting point, not your end point!"

Lansi stopped talking and handed the choice to Pang Da. "Now, what you need to do is make a decision."

"Become my friend, or continue to maintain our strange relationship."

The Federation at this time didn't have "firmly hostile people to crime," so Pang Da's attitude toward Lansi, toward the criminal group, wasn't that firm.

Including the Hazardous Materials Administration at this time, their crackdown on the criminal behavior of smuggling alcohol was not for justice, but just for a job, and to climb up.

In the final analysis, interests drive the occurrence and result of every thing, this is just a job.

Pang Da put forward his own ideas with some difficulty. "But I need fifty thousand dollars now."

Lansi also gave him a solution. "I can lend you another forty thousand dollars, you just need to sign a loan agreement."

Although Lansi gave him a plan, he still seemed very difficult.

After a while, he said stammeringly, "I can't pay back this money."

He thought Lansi would refuse to lend him money, but what he didn't expect was that Lansi laughed and told him another truth—sometimes paying back money doesn't necessarily mean giving money, other things are fine too.

"You don't need to worry about not being able to pay back the money, Pang Da, as long as you are still in the Hazardous Materials Administration, you can pay back this money."

"Believe me, I am a professional in this regard!"

He paused. "If you have no problem, we can sign an agreement, and then I can give you the money now..."

When he came, Pang Da came empty-handed, and when he left, he brought a suitcase of money, all cash.

He didn't dare to ask for a check, because the check needed to be cashed. If the bank people recognized him, this would become a big trouble, although Lansi proposed a way to find someone to help him pay, but he still refused.

Money, only when it is in one's own hands, truly has the meaning of money!

He told himself that all this was for Lisa. He loved Lisa and was willing to do anything for the other party.

At the same time, Lansi also gave him a task: figure out how many undercover agents the Hazardous Materials Administration sent to him, and who they were.

In fact, if Pang Da still had doubts about whether Lansi really bought off others before, then now he didn't have too many questions, because this matter was very confidential, and only the people in their small group knew.

Someone had really defected to Lansi. Those faces of colleagues kept flashing in his eyes, and a complex emotional fluctuation of both disgust and some intimacy flowed in his eyes.

What is disgusting is that these people betrayed Chief Dai Er, and what is intimate is that they are all undercover agents!

After sending Pang Da away, Lansi called Erwin over. "People from the Hazardous Materials Administration may have sneaked in."

Erwin found it unbelievable, because he had been supervising the recruitment of people.

He recruited people before, and now that he had more things to do, he would still check the people he recruited himself, so he felt a very unhappy feeling.

His expression was also a bit dignified, but he still confirmed it again and again. "Is the news reliable?"

Lansi nodded. "I asked him to check which ones were their people. His reaction was very unexpected, as if there was a feeling that I shouldn't know about this."

"A person's first reaction is hard to fake. He is not a politician, not an actor, I don't believe he would specifically learn this."

This is like someone suddenly calling your name, your first reaction must be to see who the fuck is so bored to call your name on the street.

Turning back is instinct, it is the first reaction.

Even if you tell yourself not to turn back, when someone calls your name, there will be a very short hesitation.

Lansi believed in his judgment. "Even if what he said is fake, checking it won't cause any accidents."

Perhaps considering that Erwin didn't know how to check, where to start checking, he made a suggestion. "Divide them into three batches and send them to three different bars."

"Arrange for people to watch them and see if their behavior is abnormal, and you will know..."

Pang Da returned home. The moment he put the suitcase full of fifty thousand dollars on the table, he felt his whole person sublimated!

Lisa, who had already made food, threw herself into his arms again. After the fierce battle ended, Lisa held Pang Da's face and kissed him. "I have never felt such happiness!"

"You are everything in my world, Pang Da, I cannot describe my love for you in words, even if I were to die, I wouldn't have the slightest hesitation!"

"You are the only one who walked into my heart, and the last one, except for you, I will never fall in love with anyone else!"

Listening to these words Lisa said, Pang Da felt that everything he did was worth it!

After dinner and having strength, the two fought two more rounds.

Young people's bodies are good, unlike those middle-aged people with money and status, most of the time they use props and torture!

The two embraced and fell asleep. The next morning, the two went to the bank together and deposited the money into Lisa's account.

Then Pang Da sent Lisa to the station, watched her get on the train, and then returned to the Hazardous Materials Administration to start new work.

What he didn't know was that Lisa didn't take this train, but got off at Xigu City, which was closest, and soon returned to New Jincheng, and finally put the fifty thousand dollar check in front of Lansi again.

Lansi looked at this check, and then looked at Lisa's beautiful face, and laughed. "He trusts you very much."

Lisa took a cigarette from the cigarette case very familiarly and lit it.

She crossed her legs, her red lips and long skirt and the cigarette in her hand formed a picture with a sense of the times. She shrugged. "A kid with no emotional experience."

After all, that was fifty thousand dollars, not a small amount, and he gave it to Lisa just like that.

Lisa also felt it was incredible. This kind of man was simply a rare animal. She hesitated a bit. "Lansi, can you... not hurt him?"

Lansi picked up the fifty thousand dollar check and put it into the drawer. "I guarantee, as long as he doesn't do stupid things, he can live to the finale."

"Finale?"

"The end of life!"

This time Lisa understood, she couldn't help laughing. "You have to say something we can understand."

Lansi was actually quite exploratory. "Are you invested in your role, or are you immersed in it?"

Lisa suddenly showed some irritable emotions. She took two puffs of the cigarette in succession, and the hand holding the cigarette was slightly trembling. "I don't know, the moment he gave me the money, I felt I might have messed up!" ===== CHAPTER 254 =====

Lans was actually quite interested in exploring, "Have you thrown yourself into your role, or are you immersed in it?"

Lisa suddenly showed some irritability; she took two puffs of her cigarette in succession, and the hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, "I don't know. The moment he gave me the money, I felt like I might have messed up!"
