Before he could finish speaking, Monkey’s laughter had completely died down, “Who are you calling ‘unkind’?”
“Master Monkey, I didn’t mean that.” The middle-aged man tried to explain.
Monkey interrupted him nonchalantly, “The lady you described as ‘unkind’ is the boss of the Ghost Organization.”
“What!” The middle-aged man was dumbfounded, he did not know what to say as waves of sweat started to cover his forehead.
Monkey continued speaking, “That child is her son, our Little Boss. I don’t think you need me to tell you about the Ghost Organization’s principle, do I?”
We do not attack unprovoked, but whoever provokes us shall be annihilated!
This sentence inexplicably came into the middle-aged man’s mind. His fingers started trembling unconsciously.
Who would have thought that the leader of the well-known Ghost Organization would appear here?
This was just a common second-tier city in the mainland region, not even a first-tier city.
Who would have guessed that the Mercenary Queen would show up here after being hidden for three years?
Indeed, he had heard people talking about the resurgence of the Ghost Organization and the fact that they had their eyes set on human trafficking in the mainland.
However, he had always thought that it was just fake news circulated by Sixth Brother’s enemies, because there was no reason for the Ghost Organization to travel across the Atlantic Ocean just to get rid of a human trafficking organization that was completely unrelated to them.
Now, Old Cat finally understood the reason behind the Ghost Organization deploying all their manpower.
Sixth Brother’s underlings must have captured a child who they should not have!
At first, Old Cat was planning to threaten Helian Wei Wei to leave with his matured tone. However, all he could think of at the moment was what he should do next to cover up for his ignorance just now.
Anyone who dealt with gangsters would know that no one should provoke the dark ghosts who would devour their prey leaving no bones behind.
“It’s a misunderstanding! Everything is just a misunderstanding!” Old Cat could not move his hands, so he could only try to present a posture as humble as possible.

Seeing that Old Cat was still on the phone, Monkey declared, “Explain to my boss yourself, she will decide whether it was a misunderstanding. If it is, we can still be friends. If not, we will be reaching Yungui Station in half an hour. By that time, my brothers would not be as friendly as I am.”
After hearing this, Old Cat had no choice but to hang up his phone. Then, he looked at Helian Wei Wei with an awkward smile, “I didn’t recognize you just now. You see, this just happened to be a friendly fire, a careless mistake!”
“Are you done with your call?” Helian Wei Wei kept the phone away using her left hand and smiled while looking at him.
Her stare gave him goosebumps and he immediately nodded, “I’m done. I’m done.”
“So tell me all about it, what is your relationship with Sixth Master? Why do you want to protect him so much?” The meaning behind Helian Wei Wei’s smile deepened.
Old Cat felt his whole body drenching in cold sweat, “Nothing much, we are just normal friends. After all, we are all from the same world. More friends mean more options. I wouldn’t get myself involved if I knew he had provoked you.”
“Does it mean that you had nothing to do with the trafficking case?” Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows.
Only then did Old Cat feel relieved, “To tell you the truth, I’m not ruthless enough to do these kinds of things. There are a few children under my care, but all of them joined at their own free will. They would usually pick pockets near the train station to earn some money. I really can’t bear the psychological stress to break a kid’s legs and force them to beg. I am not a good person, but I believe in karma. I can steal money, but I really can’t do things that would hurt others. Honestly, I don’t have the capability to deal with the higher-ups. Boss Wei, although my words were harsh at first, it’s the truth. Someone is supporting Sixth Brother behind his back. If you wish to confront him, you need to track down the big boss of Yungui District. This trail is buried too deeply. The higher their statuses, the crueler they get. They don’t care about what is right and what is wrong. They would cover up any news that could mess with their interests. Children and women trafficking has been around for a long time. Sixth Brother is becoming even more rampant because he knows that too many people are receiving interests from him. He holds the secrets of many higher-ups, and he could make one of them lose their current position by revealing just one of the secrets. What’s more, the governor of Yungui District was sent from the Capital and was part of the same faction to begin with. To clean them all up would be a hard task. Even if you caught one of them today, he might be released in just a couple of days. Even if Sixth Brother was really locked up in prison, there would be others who dare to do this deal again as long as there is money in it. After all, everyone knows that the top brass turns a blind eye to these crimes.”
“I understand what you mean,” Helian Wei Wei gestured with her fingers.
Before the Old Cat could respond, he heard a click and the handcuffs on his wrists were unlocked.
Helian Wei Wei looked at him and spoke in a light voice, “Give it to me. We have our rules, Monkey will pay you directly for the intel. But Old Cat, I must remind you that you should avoid collecting unscrupulous money. Since you believe in karma, wouldn’t the purple jade toad in your possession burn your conscience?”
Old Cat was intimidated and replied hurriedly, “Boss Wei, you have to trust me. Even if I did get it from Sixth Brother, I have not told him of your arrival. He should have had his eyes on your two children from the beginning. That’s why he had already sent someone to follow you the moment you stepped into Yungui District to gather intel on you.”
“My intel?” Helian Wei Wei smiled and took another glance at him while fiddling with the handcuffs in her hand, “Old Cat, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. Is there anything else about Sixth Brother that you have not told me?”
Old Cat did not say a word. Instead, he was looking toward his tea tray.
Helian Wei Wei set her gaze on it too. With a casual expression in her eyes, she got straight to the point, “No matter how long you look at it, you can’t solve your ancestral tomb’s problem with just the purple jade toad and a mahogany.”
This time, Old Cat’s expression really changed. His eyes started trembling heavily as he stared at Helian Wei Wei, “H-how did you know about my ancestral tomb?”
“Mahogany was commonly used to ward off evil spirits. Meanwhile, the purple jade toad was the first choice of high ranking officials and nobles in ancient times to protect their coffins. In addition, a black aura is lingering on your forehead, and you are carrying lit joss sticks on your back. I could tell right away that there was a problem with your ancestral grave,” Helian Wei Wei smiled. “What I’m curious about is, who told you about this formation that is blocking all your pulses?”
