I naturally didn't hold back with the Dragon Brother Huang Boss. Although I wasn't an expert in tea ceremonies, I could tell that the tea on the Tea Table was of good quality, so I immediately brewed a cup for Dezi and myself. At this moment, we were playing the role of thugs, which meant we should seize any opportunity for profit, and if there were none, we should create one.
After waiting for about ten minutes, I heard the door creak open. We turned to look, and what appeared was different from what we had imagined. We thought the Boss of the Heavenly Palace Bathhouse would be a middle-aged man in his forties, likely portly with a faint smile on his face, speaking in a steady manner; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to run such an establishment.
However, the Huang Boss before us was not a portly middle-aged man at all but rather a woman around thirty years old. She was heavily made up and wore flesh-colored stockings, with a deep V-neck top that seemed to fear revealing too much to anyone taller than her. It looked like she was someone who thrived in the world of pleasure and was going for a sexy image; even in the slightly chilly autumn air, it was hard to tell if she felt cold in that outfit.
Upon seeing us, the Huang Boss smiled and said, "Oh dear, I didn’t know why you two were here to cause trouble for our Heavenly Palace Bathhouse. You see, as a weak woman running a shop is not easy at all. If there's anything I've done to offend you two, I hope you can be understanding."
Saying this, the Huang Boss sat down between Dezi and me. In a soft voice, she continued, "You see, that Dragon Brother spoke with me on the phone earlier. It’s true that men can have fiery tempers; however, how about this: I'll arrange something for you two shortly to help cool your tempers. The costs will be covered by our Heavenly Palace Bathhouse. What do you think?"
Though she was a woman, the Huang Boss was quite shrewd in her dealings and thought of everything meticulously. As they say, one shouldn’t strike a smiling face. She approached us with both emotional appeal and logical reasoning. With her occasional gestures, it would have been easy for an ordinary person to follow her lead without question.
But we had our own mission and purpose; we weren't going to fall for the Huang Boss's tactics. To avoid revealing my identity, I decided to play along with her words: "Since you're such an open-hearted person, Huang Boss, we brothers won’t hide anything either. The reason we came here today is secondary; there’s actually something more important."
At this point, I deliberately paused. The Huang Boss was sharp enough to realize my pause was an invitation for her to ask: "What else do you need?"
Only then could I awkwardly say, "To be honest with you, we recently met someone quite capable—someone you should also know. He’s about fifteen years old and very handsome; although just a child, his methods and style surpass those of many adults."
Upon hearing this, the Huang Boss raised her eyebrows and slowly replied, "So you must be connected to Guo Guoqing?" From her expression, it seemed she held no fondness for Guo Guoqing but couldn't show it due to our relationship.
"Not at all!" I shook my finger and began explaining: "The person I'm talking about is indeed Guo Guoqing; however, he is not our friend. To be frank, he is our enemy. Guo Guoqing deceived us brothers regarding Angel. I won’t go into details about that now; what I want to ask pertains to the relationship between Guo Guoqing and Angel."
"What exactly are you?" the Huang Boss asked.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered the insignia from the Heavenly Domain Organization that I had obtained from Geng Shaofei earlier. It would be perfect to use it here now. After Geng Shaofei's death, I had kept that insignia on me at all times. I pulled it out of my pocket and showed it to the Huang Boss.
Huang Boss's expression was one of surprise, which caught me off guard. Her astonishment indicated that she must have known what the plaque was; if she didn't understand its significance, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
Seeing Huang Boss like this, I retrieved the plaque and asked, "You seem quite surprised by this, Huang Boss."
Huang Boss shook her head and replied, "I am indeed surprised because my late husband also had one of these plaques. When we got married, I only knew he was a member of something called the Heavenly Domain Organization; I had no idea about anything else. After he died, someone came to take the plaque away, and in the end, I still didn't know what this organization was really about. All I know is that they gave me a large sum of money, which I used to open this Heavenly Palace Bathhouse."
I never expected Huang Boss to have such a background; her husband was also a member of the Heavenly Domain Organization. However, members of the Heavenly Domain Organization were typically very low-key, relying solely on their plaques for identification. I wondered which department her husband belonged to within the organization and what his role was in Tianlan City.
But hearing Huang Boss say that aside from knowing it was an organization, she had no other information aligned with the characteristics of the Heavenly Domain Organization. It was difficult for outsiders to learn anything about it. If there were indeed members of the Heavenly Domain Organization in Tianlan City, there must be more than just one; it was likely that someone from the organization was already watching us from the shadows.
It was strange; wherever our Special Investigation Team went, there seemed to be members of the Heavenly Domain Organization. Whether through active exposure or information we stumbled upon unintentionally, it seemed to indicate that members of the Heavenly Domain Organization were right beside us, seemingly intent on spying on our actions.
Moreover, the Heavenly Domain Organization had made several attempts to abduct me and take me to their headquarters. From this perspective, it appeared that they were lurking around us.
I naturally didn't hold back with Huang Boss. Although I wasn't an expert in tea ceremonies, I could tell that the tea on the table was of good quality. I immediately brewed a cup for Dezi and myself. At this moment, we were playing the role of ruffians; if there were benefits to be had, we should seize them without hesitation.
After waiting for about ten minutes, we heard the door creak open. We turned to look and found something unexpected. We had imagined that the boss of the Heavenly Palace Bathhouse would be a middle-aged man in his forties—perhaps portly with a faint smile on his face and speaking in a steady manner; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to run such an establishment.
However, the Huang Boss before us was not a portly middle-aged man but rather a woman around thirty years old. She wore heavy makeup and flesh-colored stockings, with a deep V-neck top that seemed designed to reveal more than it concealed. It appeared that Huang Boss was also someone who thrived in seductive environments; even in this slightly chilly autumn weather, it made one wonder how she felt dressed like that.
Upon seeing us both, Huang Boss smiled and said, "Oh dear, I didn’t know why you two were at odds with our Heavenly Palace Bathhouse. You see, as a weak woman running a shop is not easy at all. If there's anything I've done wrong towards you both, please bear with me."
As she spoke, Huang Boss sat down between Dezi and me. In a soft voice, she continued, "You see, Dragon Brother spoke with me over the phone earlier; it's true that men can be hot-headed sometimes. How about this: I'll arrange something for you two shortly to help cool your tempers. The costs will be covered by our Heavenly Palace Bathhouse—does that sound reasonable?"
Although Huang Boss was a woman, she handled matters with great finesse and consideration. As they say, you don't strike someone who greets you with a smile. Huang Boss approached us with both emotional appeal and logical reasoning. Coupled with her occasional gestures, anyone else might have easily followed her lead without question.
However, we came here with a mission and purpose, and we are not easily swayed by Huang Boss's charm. To avoid revealing my identity, I continued the conversation smoothly, "Since Huang Boss is such a generous person, we brothers won’t hold back. The reason we came here today is secondary; there is actually something important we need to discuss."
At this point, I deliberately paused. Huang Boss, being sharp-witted, understood that my pause was an invitation for her to ask, "I wonder if you two have any other matters to discuss?"
Only then could I express my difficulty, "To be honest, we recently met someone quite remarkable, someone you should also know. He’s about fifteen years old, very handsome. Although he’s just a child, his methods and demeanor surpass those of many adults."
Upon hearing this, Huang Boss raised her eyebrows in surprise and slowly replied, "So you must be with Guo Guoqing?" From her expression, it was clear she held no fondness for Guo Guoqing either. However, due to our relationship, she refrained from showing her displeasure too openly, resulting in a gloomy expression.
"Not at all!" I shook my finger and began to explain, "The person I mentioned is indeed Guo Guoqing, but he is not our friend. To be frank, he is our enemy. Guo Guoqing deceived both of us brothers regarding Angel. I won’t go into details about that now; what I want to ask about are the matters between Guo Guoqing and Angel."
"What exactly are you two?" Huang Boss inquired.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered the insignia I had obtained from Geng Shaofei earlier. It was perfect for this situation. Ever since Geng Shaofei's death, I had kept the insignia on me. I pulled it out of my pocket and showed it to Huang Boss.
