Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 537

[Chapter 534: Deterring the Police Station]

Not long after Jack left, Hu Huishan came again and settled the previous employment fee with David.

According to Hu Huishan’s report, this time she went to Europe to rescue the hostages, and David, the temporary helper, made great efforts. According to the previous promise, as long as the task was completed, all expenses would be reimbursed, so the money Hu Huishan hired David for had to be paid by the police.

“It won’t be a lot of cash, and you will be given an additional certificate.”

Hu Huishan had never seriously discussed the price when she hired David before. She didn’t think it was a big deal. David’s new company had just opened and it was clear that he didn’t care about income. The police should be able to pay hundreds of thousands, right?

But things didn’t work out that way.

Originally, she thought that David was a business with no capital. He just went along to help a little and borrow some connections. After counting the expenses of going back and forth, it wasn’t too much.

Hundreds of thousands are not a lot, but considering it is pure income, it is not a small amount.

Unexpectedly, David directly chartered a private plane, which raised the cost immediately, which gave the police a headache.

After thinking about it, he simply said that the police would reimburse all expenses, including all the expenses for chartering a private jet. He would pay an additional one million as a reward, and give him a certificate of merit to make friends.

Because Hu Huishan’s report clearly mentioned that David had special abilities and was suspected to be an exorcist from Europe.

Of course, the police must make friends with such special talents.

Unlike Hu Huishan, who was more responsible for criminal cases at the beginning and is currently in charge of special armed forces such as the Queen of War, the police top brass knows some situations: there are many strange things in the dark places that the general public does not understand, and those things cannot be explained by science, and cannot be solved by ordinary people.

Therefore, the police top brass has contacts with some Feng Shui masters, Taoist priests, and monks to ensure that such troubles can be solved through relationships when necessary.

Now that there is another option of David, they are of course willing to make friends – compared with the masters, David’s way of opening a store directly is actually more popular with them.

Therefore, Hu Huishan’s superior, the Deputy Commissioner of Police who ordered the establishment of the Queen of War, known as Uncle Biao, asked Hu Huishan to maintain a good relationship with David, so that the police will have many handymen entrusted to David in the future.

“When you say that, I feel like we’re going to talk about ‘business’ in the next second.”

“You guessed right.” Hu Huishan handed over the file bag she had been holding in her hand: “But this trip is not a big job, and the reward is not high. It’s up to you to decide whether to accept it or not.”

“What kind of job?”

After taking the file bag, David opened it and found that it contained an introduction to a police station, including what the police station was originally used for. It was written in detail.

“Recently, a former colleague who has become a monk passed on the news through multiple channels, saying that something bad might happen in this police station recently.”

Hu Huishan roughly explained the matter. Similar rumors have been circulating within the police for a while, but most of the time they were used as jokes and gossip to pass the time.

After returning from Europe this time, Hu Huishan realized that the police actually attached great importance to this information and had already filed it separately.

“It is said that someone has invited other masters through personal connections to the police station for on-site observation.”

“Since you have already invited others, why do you still need me?”

“Only by inviting a few more people and confirming from multiple angles can the bosses rest assured!”

After all, the police station is not an ordinary place. If something happens in the police station, the impact will be too bad. Not to mention the entire police force, the entire Hong Kong officialdom will have to face a major earthquake.

So it is not excessive to attach too much importance to it.

“So you just want me to go over and take a look to make sure there is nothing ‘weird’ happening there?”

“Yes.”

“It sounds like picking up money for free.”

You can get 100,000 yuan for one trip. From an economic point of view, you are a fool not to do it.

But when David saw the detailed introduction above, he found that this 100,000 yuan might not be easy to earn!

This police station was converted from an officer club during the Japanese occupation period. When the Japanese army was defeated, the officers committed suicide here collectively. Later, in order to suppress the evil spirits here, it was converted into a police station, hoping to suppress this place with the righteousness and yang energy of the police station.

If it were just this, it would not be enough to attract David’s attention. After all, Hong Kong is such a small place. During the Japanese occupation, there were military camps, artillery towers, and clubs everywhere. Later, these places were demolished or rebuilt.

David realized that this money was not easy to make. He saw in the file that the colonel who led the group of officers who committed suicide was called Issey Miyake.

Seeing this person, David knew that something must have happened in this police station.

“What’s wrong?”

Hu Huishan noticed David’s reaction, and she immediately felt something bad in her heart. Wouldn’t something really happen? But can you make a judgment just by looking at the file? Is David really that powerful?

“Really that powerful.”

“…”

“The expression on your face is too obvious.” David stuffed the file back into the paper bag and handed it back to Hu Huishan. He had to take all these things back and couldn’t leave them here: “I’ll take this job. When will you leave?”

“Anytime, but call me before you leave so that I can say hello to the police station in advance and coordinate.”

In addition, in order to avoid causing bad rumors, people like David would use other identities to cover up when they went there: such as cleaning companies, decoration companies, etc., ostensibly to see if the police station needed to be rebuilt or renovated.

Except for the masters themselves and the police officers they contacted, no one knew the real purpose of their going to the police station.

“Think of a suitable identity in advance!”

“This is easy, a British aristocrat, coming to visit the operation of various institutions in the kingdom’s overseas territories.” David didn’t believe that he couldn’t run rampant in the police station with this identity, and the director had to come out in person to entertain him.

“…”

Not knowing if she was overthinking, Hu Huishan suspected that David was really from an aristocratic family, but she just couldn’t understand why a young man from an aristocratic family could have such magical abilities?

“When

are you going to go?” “In two days.” If David guessed correctly, those masters would go to the police station one after another in the next few days, and he thought it would be better to stagger with everyone else.

“That’s it.”

Two tasks and two payments were settled with Cheng Le’er on the spot. Hu Huishan took the file bag back to report, and only David and Cheng Le’er were left in the company.

Cheng Le’er is a little confused now. On the first day of opening, he earned more than one million Hong Kong dollars and fifty thousand pounds. Is it so easy to make money?

“Wow, it’s only the first day of opening!” Cheng Le’er now feels that it seems interesting to make this company bigger and stronger.

“It will definitely not be like today often.” It is not uncommon for a company like his not to open for a year, but the few orders earned today alone are enough to keep the company going for a long time.

Looking at the time, it was already lunch time: “Let’s go to lunch first.”

After eating something nearby, he returned to the company and stayed in it for another afternoon. During this time, Ou Jiahui and Zhao Gangsheng followed Sophia to take a look and congratulated David’s company on its opening. They also sent two flower baskets on behalf of Manhan Building and Lu Yu Building.

Now there are several flower baskets at the door, and it looks like a lively scene of a grand opening.

With Alan’s visit, the whole building now knows that a strange company has opened here. Some people even joked: “If I want you to work for me, will you take it?”

“Yes, I will take any job that interests me.”

“That’s great. If I don’t want to go to work one day, I can ask the people from the Wanshiwu to do it for me, and I will still get my salary!”

“You are crazy. Even if you earn a full month’s salary, is it enough to hire someone to help? This kind of private detective company charges very expensive fees.”

“You didn’t ask, how do you know?”

“Didn’t you see Miss Cheng? She is the daughter of the Cheng Group. The building your company rents now belongs to her. Will a company opened by a lady make your little pocket money?”

“…”

In general, although some people would come to take a look from time to time to see the excitement, it did not attract onlookers. After all, everyone was at work and very busy. It would be

okay to take a look in the busy schedule, but it would be too outrageous if they gathered in a group.

When it was evening, Wang Zhenzhen and Ma Xiaoling also came.

Ma Xiaoling didn’t like David, but she maintained basic courtesy and sent a flower basket in the name of Linglingtang Cleaning Company.

“It looks good!”

Ma Xiaoling found that the environment of this building was good, and David’s place had an inexplicable feeling of brightness and holiness. I wonder if it was located on the spiritual vein? She wanted to move her company here. If

her cleaning company moved to such a building, the business would surely be more prosperous.

As a result, she was not happy for five minutes, and she heard a very depressing news from the conversation between Cheng Le’er and Wang Zhenzhen next to her: David had just opened today and received another commission: to go to XX police station to take a look.

“…”

Ma Xiaoling suspected that she had heard it wrong, and she asked about it. It turned out to be the police station she was going to in two days.

“This guy, he really wants to steal my business.”

Although Cheng Le’er concealed the details and did not say what David was going to do in that police station, Ma Xiaoling, who was also an insider, certainly knew the reason.

What really gave Ma Xiaoling a headache was that after Wang Zhenzhen heard Cheng Le’er’s words, she remembered that Ma Xiaoling had told her that she had just taken a new job: cleaning at XX police station.

“Huh? Xiaoling, the job you just took was also at that police station, right?” Wang Zhenzhen didn’t know the inside story, but she vaguely felt that something seemed strange: “What a coincidence?”

“That’s a police station that was renovated from an old building, so there are more problems!”

Wang Zhenzhen felt that Ma Xiaoling’s explanation made some sense, but Ma Xiaoling went to clean, so what job did David take?

“Pretending to be a British aristocrat to intimidate all kinds of monsters and demons.”

“…”
