The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1342 - 819: Delivery Gang’s First Full Operation (2)

Chapter 1342: Chapter 819: Delivery Gang’s First Full Operation (2)

They all say he’s efficient, but Luo Ping’s efficiency is truly terrifying. Is he really a famous detective?

"I just got lucky—I found another colleague who was also following Lin Huang Jiao Jiao, so I showed myself and confronted him. After promising to double his compensation, he told me everything he knew. Coupled with existing information, locating the place where they were holding Lin Huang Jiao Jiao and Lin Pinru became quite smooth."

Luo Ping said.

"Who hired that colleague of yours?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Lin Chairman’s sister."

Luo Ping replied.

The inheritance law in Metropolis is similar to reality. As the first in line to inherit (spouse, parents, children) exist, a second-in-line like the sister doesn’t qualify to inherit the estate.

So when Lin Huang Jiao Jiao reappeared, the Antlered Insect’s sister went from deep sorrow to great joy, then back to deep sorrow.

"It’s really like a whale falls, and all things come alive."

Liu Zheng said sarcastically.

"That’s how it is with wealthy families. Old money has its own people, and this new money is our biggest customer in the business."

Luo Ping stated.

"So where are they being held?"

He asked.

"Shangpin Mansion District in Old City District, but I’m not sure which specific villa. Even though the Old City District has declined, that area hasn’t; wealthy people often go there for things inconvenient to do in the New City District."

Luo Ping replied.

"The Old City District is your turf; can you identify the right villa quickly?"

"It’s not easy. Shangpin Mansion is the private domain of those rich people, and they don’t really associate with us locals. I’m planning to seek information from the Pink Kingdom folks—maybe they’ll have some leads."

Luo Ping shook his head.

"Pink Kingdom? What do they have to do with this?"

Liu Zheng was surprised.

"Every living thing needs to eat and sleep. The rich might share their food with their underlings, but definitely not their sleeping aids. Summoning a service from the New City District is both troublesome and prone to leaks, so Pink Kingdom becomes their preferred choice."

Luo Ping explained.

"I see. I’ll give the Queen a call to communicate."

He nodded.

"You know the Queen too?"

Luo Ping was surprised.

"Young man, the connections of our Delivery Gang are beyond your imagination."

Liu Zheng boasted to his new underling and then hung up to call the Queen.

"Man, what is it now?"

The Queen asked coldly.

"Don’t you think calling me that makes us sound closer?"

He raised an eyebrow and said.

"Annoying male creature, what do you want now?"

The Queen immediately corrected herself.

"Forget it, continue calling me man. I recently recruited an associate chief physician from a hospital as my underling; let me know if you need him for house calls."

Liu Zheng offered.

Coordinating with Dr. Nile might be too much, but coordinating with Bai Tianshi was perfectly reasonable.

"A hospital associate chief physician? Which hospital are you talking about?"

The Queen was shocked.

"Which hospital else? Others only count as clinics, alright?"

Liu Zheng commented.

"Which department is he from?"

The Queen asked.

"Trauma department, but his foundation is very solid; he can handle cases across departments. He also has family-taught medical skills—surgery, chemotherapy, acupuncture, cupping—he knows it all."

He explained.

"What do you want in exchange?"

The Queen felt tempted.

Though Dr. Nile’s medical skills weren’t bad, an associate chief from a hospital had a bigger reputation.

Not even the Queen dared to go to a hospital, let alone ordinary tech women of the Pink Kingdom.

"There’s a matter I need your insights on."

Liu Zheng briefed her about finding Lin Huang Jiao Jiao and her mother.

"Indeed, my people visited Shangpin Mansion District recently. But let it be known, I can disclose some information, but I won’t assist your people in taking action. If your people get caught and reveal us, you’ll need to compensate for the damages."

The Queen thought for a moment and said.

"No problem. But you’re overthinking it a bit; those operating silver parties in the Old City District aren’t capable of making me fail."

Liu Zheng said confidently.

Of course, he wouldn’t let Luo Ping be a lone hero; once Luo Pin confirmed the target, Liu Zheng would muster his forces.

"Let’s hope so. Have your subordinates contact me then."

The Queen hung up.

"Still very wary, huh."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

He could tell the Queen was trying to maintain a distance from him.

But it’s understandable. They say jesters are heartless and actors unkind, but the viewer and listener are the most heartless and unkind. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Though Liu Zheng hadn’t indicated any jesting, the legendary delivery man had spread his charm across the Metropolis alleys and even often engaged in the unkind act of using underwear to pawn.

Now wearing the legendary delivery man’s jacket, carrying his delivery box, and having buried his skeleton, no one would believe he wasn’t the delivery man’s inheritor.

Yet he never intended to become friends with everyone; being partners worked just fine.

After a while, Luo Ping called.

"Boss, it’s pretty much confirmed—she should be in Shangpin Mansion number 306."

He said.

"306? Are there more than three hundred villas in that district?"

"No, it’s just numbered like that—there are actually thirty to forty villas."

Luo Ping replied.

"Oh, that’s manageable. Do you know its location?"

"It’s at the northeast corner of the district—the villa with a bald patch on the lawn at the entrance."

Luo Ping stated.

Buildings in Metropolis are akin to reality; once constructed, changes to their facades aren’t allowed unless going through relevant department approvals.

The City Hall has stringent controls over this, so most homeowners prefer investing their time and funds in interior renovations instead.

"Alright, you head over and keep watch, and I’ll gather the troops."

Liu Zheng said.

"Boss, I could attempt a sneak-in."

Luo Ping suggested.

He felt he owed Liu Zheng immensely and wanted to repay him as much as possible.

"No need for that. Remember, everyone in the Delivery Gang is valuable to me. I won’t risk your life for outsiders."

Liu Zheng said sternly.

"Understood, I’ll remember."

Luo Ping replied affirmatively.

Ending the call, Liu Zheng began rallying people.

Niu Daji needed no clichés; what he was told he did.

Panda grumbled a bit, but with the promised fifty thousand worth of spiritual medicine purchasing allowance as a bonus, a bit of persuasion settled things.

Bai Tianshi didn’t say much and agreed immediately.

"Boss, there’s something else I need to report."

Bai Tianshi said.

"Go ahead."

"It’s like this: doctors like us need to practice in hospitals or clinics to maximize our transcendent ability. Besides, our transcendent ability will degrade if not practiced for a long time. So do you want me housed at my home medical center or where you specify?"

Bai Tianshi explained.

"Oh, right. You’re mine, so I’ll arrange for you. You’ve asked just in time—I really had plans in mind."

Liu Zheng told him about plans to purchase a building for Delivery Gang members as a base.

"Boss, I still have some personal savings..."

"No rush—let me investigate the price first. Also, your father spent his last savings on your rescue, so use it for home for now."

Liu Zheng didn’t deny directly.

Bai Tianshi’s remark reminded him to have everyone contribute symbolically later; it should involve everyone a little.

After rallying people, Liu Zheng called Wang Manni.

"I’ve found the location. I’m preparing to act right away."

He stated directly.

"True to form, Mr. Delivery Man."

Wang Manni said with starry eyes.

She had no doubt about Liu Zheng’s words; in her heart, Liu Zheng had this capability.

"Do you need me to report to the company?"

Wang Manni proactively asked.

If Liu Zheng decided to wait until after the action, she could also delay a bit.

"Report to them—have them order delivery. Delivery time must exceed an hour but not ordered by you."

Liu Zheng instructed.

The Delivery Gang’s first collective action, he as the leader naturally couldn’t be absent.

Green Shade Culture hopefully wouldn’t foolishly have Wang Manni place delivery orders, but considering this world is full of amateur troupes, he emphasized it specially.

"For you, I’m willing to order delivery, no matter how long."

Wang Manni emotionally replied.

"You may be willing, but I’m not. You’re the only white-collar in my group. If you die, who would I use?"

Liu Zheng said unkindly.

"Actually, even after death..."

"Enough, I’m hanging up."

Before Wang Manni could express any metropolis-specific, worldview-shattering comments, he ended the call.
