Chapter 42 - 42 Tea Fee (Seeking Recommendations, Monthly Passes, and Followers)_1



A drunken man reeking of alcohol barged in.

Everyone looked up.

The drunk mumbled some nonsense, then realized he was in the wrong room, pulled the door closed, and retreated.

No one made much of it, and the noisy chatter resumed.

Tang Huoyang, having consumed a little alcohol, his face flushed, was in high spirits, and even shared an amusing story about his encounter with Pei Jinye, “Old Pei is really tough, truly tough.”

The guys laughed, and the girls who understood lowered their heads shyly.

Pei Jinye had a look of total exasperation.

Tang Huoyang stood up to go to the restroom, with several other boys laughing and following him.

Pei Jinye didn’t join them and continued eating the meat on the table, taking as much as he could.

With some spaces now free in the room, the girl surnamed Lan moved closer: “Student Pei, how did you get to know Sister Xiao Yong?”

“Through training,” Pei Jinye said, uninterested in the girl’s little crush.

“Sister Xiao Yong has never taken care of a guy this way before, you guys wouldn’t really be…” The curly-haired girl asked curiously.

Pei Jinye shook his head and continued to focus on his meat.

The curly-haired girl curiously said, “Do you work out a lot? I see your arm muscles are so big.”

Pei Jinye glanced at her and responded half-heartedly to the awkward conversation: “You could have them too.”

The curly-haired girl chuckled: “That won’t be necessary.”

The door opened again.

But it wasn’t Tang Huoyang and the others returning, it was the drunk who had left earlier, looking somewhat cautious, but soon someone behind him yanked him away.

Pei Jinye looked up.

It was an old acquaintance.

As soon as Sun San saw Pei Jinye, he shivered.

Pei Jinye, slanting his eyes and expressionless, continued to chew the meat in his mouth.

The girls around frowned, some panicking, while the curly-haired girl, braver, stood up and asked, “Who are you looking for?”

“I’m looking for…” Sun San turned to Pei Jinye, only to realize he didn’t know the name of this eminent figure and could only politely stand at the door, gesturing, “Do you have time? Or I could wait until your meal is over.”

Pei Jinye calmly wiped his mouth with a napkin and was about to stand up.

Suddenly, the curly-haired girl tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Pei Jinye paused.

The curly-haired girl whispered, “Should we call the police? They don’t look like good people to me.”

Pei Jinye chuckled softly.

“No need, they’re from the Night Patrol Department; I’ve dealt with them once before, and they probably want to ask me about something.”

After saying this, he left.

The curly-haired girl watched his retreating figure, momentarily at a loss.

Is this how the Night Patrol Department operates now?

The other girls around looked worried, “What should we do? Sister Lan? Should we call Brother Yang and the others?”

Lan Ranran hesitated, “It should be fine, it looked as if they knew each other…”

The young girls started to chatter.

“Does Pei Jinye know people like that?”

“They don’t seem like good people… Pei Jinye looks so upright, how could he know such people?”

“Could he be a hoodlum?”

In a corner of the hotel lobby.

Sun San, fawning and ingratiating, offered a pack of cigarettes, “Bro, take one, this is a special supply from the city. If you like them, I’ll bring you a few more packs next time.”

Pei Jinye didn’t reach out, saying indifferently, “Get to the point.”

Sun San let out a nervous laugh, initially wanting to light one up, but noticing Pei Jinye’s unimpressed gaze, he awkwardly stuffed the cigarettes back in the pack.

“Bro, I’ll just say it. Here’s the thing, I have a relative who’s run into some trouble. His client’s money got intercepted. I know… you’re a Transcendent, so I was thinking you might be willing to show up and help out.

You can rest assured the other party is just an ordinary person. It’s simply about making an appearance. The other party is a debt collection company, and they’ve scheduled a negotiation with my relative. He’s worried he might be outsmarted, so he wants some backup from a big shot. My relative is willing to pay this amount as a gesture of gratitude.”

Sun San raised a finger.

“I only want cash for the one million,” Pei Jinye said succinctly.

Sun San’s mouth fell open.

Fuck… Ancestors!

I said a hundred thousand!

He fell silent for a moment.

Then said with a forced smile, “Big brother, cash is a bit troublesome, can I just make a call now, do you think that’d be okay?”

Pei Jinye nodded, letting him make the call.

Soon, Sun San hung up and hurried back.

“Big brother, how should I address you?”

“My last name is Pei.”

“Brother Pei,” naturally, Sun San was older than Pei Jinye, but in this world, respect isn’t determined by age, so he could call him brother.

“My relative said one million is no problem, but if things really get physical, he hopes you can guarantee his safety. Tonight, at the bridgehead diner, I’ll wait for you there. Also, three hundred thousand in cash will be delivered immediately.”

Pei Jinye was as calm as ever, “Let’s get one thing straight, if your friend tries to weasel out, it won’t just be seven hundred thousand at stake.”

“If he dares to weasel out, I’ll serve my head on a platter!”

Pei Jinye listened to his vehement assurance and chuckled, giving him his contact information.

“Don’t blab about my identity.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Pei, I know the rules of the streets,” Sun San promised repeatedly.

Pei Jinye: “…”

You don’t know shit!

Before long, Tang Huoyang approached, eyeing Sun San, “Old Pei, are you alright?”

Seeing him approach, Pei Jinye smiled, “How could I be in trouble?”

Tang Huoyang looked suspiciously at Sun San, then said in a low voice to Pei Jinye, “If there’s really a problem, just say the word, we have people in the Night Patrol Department.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but Sun San definitely heard it.

The guy immediately broke out in a cold sweat, chuckling awkwardly to the side.

It seemed he was relieved he hadn’t messed with Brother Pei’s parents in the past, otherwise he would have been in deep trouble.

Pei Jinye appreciated Tang Huoyang’s gesture and smiled as he saw him off.

That was when it happened.

At the hotel entrance, a hover car pulled up.

A young man with a flat head was holding a black sports bag.

“Brother San,” the young man handed over the sports bag, not forgetting to ask in a low voice out of curiosity, “Brother San, who did you find?”

Sun San took the package and said with a stern voice, “Go back and tell your brother he has to pay up the rest, or I, Sun San, will be the first to not let him off.”

The young man smiled, “Brother San, it’s not our first time doing business, my brother’s reputation is solid. But are you sure the person you found is capable? The other party’s people are not easy to deal with.”

Sun San thought about the words Tang Huoyang had mentioned and felt proud; if he could forge a firm relationship with Brother Pei, from now on he would brag about having connections in the Night Patrol Department whenever he met anyone.

Of course, he only dared to think about it in his head.

He had experienced Pei Jinye’s methods firsthand.

This was definitely a ruthless man; anyone who crossed him would surely pay dearly.

He turned around and saw Pei Jinye approaching.

Sun San quickly handed over the package, “Please have a look, this is the deposit.”

Pei Jinye didn’t look, just weighed it; he wasn’t afraid of the other party playing tricks with counterfeit money.

Pei Jinye was the kind of man who, if you celebrated the first day, he’d be ready for the fifteenth.

It wasn’t his first time playing a game of double-cross.

“Then, Brother Pei, I’ll wait for you tonight.”

“Hmm.”

Pei Jinye took the bag and left.

After waiting a bit, the young man asked curiously in a whisper, “Brother San, the person you found, it’s not him, is it? He doesn’t even look older than me.”

“You don’t know shit; the man is a Transcendent, a flick of his finger could shake the heavens and the earth, what are you in comparison?” Sun San said disgruntledly.

The young man wasn’t annoyed, just curiously watching the direction Pei Jinye had left.
