Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

The Nile doctor offered this advice.

"Even referrals from acquaintances are like this?"

he asked.

"Scammers get 50% off, acquaintances get the lion's share. Haven't you humans heard that saying?"

“I’ve heard of it.”

"My reputation at most prevents it from lying to you about being a test subject for drugs, or from selling you fake drugs."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Alright, that's not bad either."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

Niu Ma was beaten half to death for selling fake liquor to French plane trees; if he were to sell fake medicine to a food delivery channel, the outcome wouldn't be much better.

"What's your second thing?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

Chapter 465 You may not need me, but you can't abandon me

"The second thing is to find Xiaomei."

Liu Zheng looked at the cleaner.

"what?"

The cleaning lady, who was caught red-handed peeking at him, lowered her head in embarrassment, her cheeks flushed.

"No, why are you, a widow, acting like a pure, innocent girl every day?"

Liu Zheng remained silent.

"My husband and I had an arranged marriage; we had never dated before."

The cleaning staff said in a low voice.

"Fine, you win. I need your help with something."

He said.

"You say it."

"I'd like to ask you to clean an elevator."

Liu Zheng said.

Which elevator?

"I can't help but ask," the cleaner asked.

He didn't answer, but simply pointed to his uniform.

it is more than words.

The cleaning lady turned pale, her eyes filled with fear.

Liu Zheng understood perfectly; unless someone was a country bumpkin or an idiot, no one could hear the name of the Bloody Restaurant without being afraid.

Moreover, he also had to clean the interior of the restaurant.

"It's okay. If it's inconvenient for you, that's fine. I'll find someone else."

He comforted.

A generous reward will always attract brave men; as long as someone is willing to pay the price, there will always be those who are not afraid of death.

Those fly-like workers are pretty good; they're temporary workers specifically for the sanitation department, so they're definitely skilled at cleaning.

Even though they're a bit dirty, we can just let them wash themselves clean at the brothel.

"I can."

"It's the cleaning lady!" the cleaner said loudly.

She raised her head, a stubborn expression on her face.

"I'll do whatever you ask me to do. But you can't ask anyone else."

Her voice was full of grievance.

"I never said I wouldn't contact you, so why are you feeling wronged?"

Liu Zheng said somewhat awkwardly.

"Don't worry, I'll just work inside the elevator and won't need to go outside. If it dares to attack you, I'll just throw the elevator and its steel cables into the lava."

He promised.

The restaurant elevator not only witnessed his multiple summons by Si Xue, but should also have heard of his many deeds. Since there was no conflict of interest between them, there was no reason to offend him.

As for Liu Zheng's guarantee, it was certainly true.

If the restaurant elevator really dares to cause trouble, he'll just take the brain from the sewer and exchange it for its life.

If Si Xue says the restaurant can't be without an elevator, then he'll just go and steal all the elevators from the Hundred Ghosts' Journey and switch to whichever one he wants.

"Yeah, I'm not afraid. I would have died long ago without you anyway."

The cleaning staff lowered their heads again.

Liu Zheng scratched his head, unsure of what to say, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

"There is a guest room inside that has never been used, and the four-piece bedding set is all new."

"The Nile doctor seized the opportunity to speak," he said.

"Thank you, but let's leave it for Sesha's boyfriend."

He rolled his eyes at the mummy.

"You little brat, I kindly lent you the venue, and you actually used my daughter as an excuse. You really don't appreciate my kindness."

The Nile doctor expressed his dissatisfaction.

"I think it was clearly you who participated in my boss's betting game, and you even placed your bet on Xiaomei."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"You young man, you really don't know how to talk. I'm not talking to you anymore, you two chat by yourselves."

Dr. Nile rolled his eyes and walked into the inner room on his own.

"Here, go buy some cleaning supplies yourself, buy the best ones. Once you're ready, use this, and you'll be able to get into the elevator."

He took out an elevator button and handed it to the cleaning lady, then gave her a large sum of money.

“If you sense anything amiss, tell it that it’s not the only one capable of operating an elevator, and don’t forget the deal I made with it.”

He said.

"Hmm. If I die, could you take care of my two sons?"

The cleaning staff asked softly.

"If you really die, I will make arrangements for their future lives."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, I believe you. I'll ask the doctor for leave and then go."

"That's what the cleaner said."

"Okay, I'll leave first."

He nodded, turned and left the clinic.

"Let's go."

After greeting the Sphinx, Liu Zheng got into his pickup truck and drove towards the Workers' New City.

As he was driving, he suddenly slammed on the brakes, his expression changing drastically.

Because Liu Zheng saw the green vests again, and this time there was a large group of them, along with several official cars and motorcycles.

"Citizen, please stop for inspection."

The car radio automatically turned on, and a deep, mechanical male voice echoed throughout the carriage.

"How to do?"

Seeing that the green-vested man in the distance had spotted him and was preparing to salute him, Liu Zheng's mind raced.

Should we force our way in like last time?

Last time there was only one green vest, but this time there was not only a large group, but also official vehicles and motorcycles.

With his commuter-level driving skills, it's impossible for him to break through the encirclement and interception of so many green vests. It would be more likely if a driver were to take over.

"Forget it, let's just throw money around."

Liu Zheng sighed, then silently turned the steering wheel and drove towards the group of people in green vests.

Seeing that he was relatively self-disciplined, the green-vested officers did not use force and let him drive up to them on his own.

A man in a white vest with several stars on his shoulder said something to a man in a green vest, who then came to Liu Zheng's car.

"Hello, please slowly roll down your window, keep your body in my line of sight, and then show me your identification."

The man in the green vest knocked on the car window, and the sound came through the car radio.

"Ok."

Liu Zheng cooperated by rolling down the car window and raising all four tentacles at the same time.

"Hmm? People from the Bloody Restaurant."

The man in the green vest paused for a moment when he saw the uniform he was wearing.

"They're one of us too."

He puffed out his chest, making the brooch bearing the inscription "City Hall Employee Family Member Certificate" on his chest even more conspicuous.

"Oh, which department does your family member work for?"

"The man in the green vest asked."

"I work for the Border Management Bureau, I also have a brother-in-law who works at the Market Supervision Bureau, and a friend who works at the Public Security Bureau."

Liu Zheng replied.

"You seem to have quite a few relatives. Do you have a driver's license?"

"The man in the green vest asked."

"No, the restaurant didn't mention that I needed a driver's license when I joined the company."

"Ha, it would be a miracle if your restaurant followed the rules that closely."

The man in the green vest complained.

"Ah ha ha."

He couldn't really join in the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining/criticizing), so he could only laugh it off.

"Driving without a driver's license will result in a fine of one thousand yuan."

The man in the green vest tore a page from the ticket book and stuck it on the windshield.

"okay."

Liu Zheng simply pulled out a wad of cash and handed it to him.

"What are you doing? The boss is watching from behind."

The person in the green vest neither refused nor accepted the gift.

"I confess, I didn't have my driver's license with me when I drove several times before."

He said with a look of shame.

"Look at you, even if you're an employee of the Bloodstained Restaurant, you still have to obey traffic rules. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Reckless driving leads to tears'? As a family member of a city hall employee, you should set an example by obeying traffic rules even more."
