For example, the newly opened Seventh Cafeteria at Tianjing University today is located on a clearing surrounded by trees not far from the main gate. Here, even if you are not a student of the university, you can enjoy delicious food worthy of a top institution’s reputation by simply paying an extra 30% management fee. However, besides the university’s own students, only a few well-informed foodies know about this.
Mr. Smith isn’t exactly a foodie, but his information is undoubtedly extremely up-to-date—he even knows the signature dishes of the head chef at the newly opened Seventh Cafeteria like the back of his hand.
“I’d like one braised chicken rice, one black chicken clay pot soup, and one cold celery salad. Hmm, that’s thirty-five in total, plus a 30% management fee…”
“Eh? Did you forget your student card? Just tell me your student number, and you won’t need to pay the management fee.”
The female student working part-time in the small restaurant blushed slightly and gently offered her suggestion.
“I’m not from the university.”
“Eh? Is that so? Then were you recommended by someone from our university?” As she spoke, the girl quietly glanced back at the manager. Seeing he was busy elsewhere, she whispered, “You can also give me your friend’s student number, that’s fine too.”
Although he wasn’t an alumnus, since he was so handsome, the girl was clearly willing to give him a little special treatment.
“I see, just a moment.” The young man neatly wrote a string of numbers on a napkin and handed it over. “Sorry to trouble you.”
The girl took the napkin with a sweet smile, entered the numbers into the ordering machine, and after glancing around to see she wasn’t needed elsewhere, decided to chat a bit more with the handsome young man.
Unfortunately, at that moment, the floor manager turned and called out, “Little Harris, are you done yet? The customers over here have been waiting a long time!”
The girl could only leave a sweet smile and turn away, but as she left, she casually left a few more napkins on the table—the top one also had a number written on it, which looked like a phone number.
Mr. Smith’s smile grew even brighter. After the girl left, he casually picked up the shiny metal tray in front of him, and in its reflection, he saw a few sneaky figures just leaving the restaurant entrance.
Seeing that people from the Galaxy Society had already come looking for him, Mr. Smith’s smile didn’t fade. He picked up his phone, dialed three numbers, and said in a very low voice, “Hello, this is good citizen Wang. I have important information to report to the police…”
Not long after, having eaten and drunk his fill, Mr. Smith got up to leave under the expectant gaze of the waitress.
Outside the cafeteria, the night was hazy. The lush woods looked especially gentle under the streetlights, and on the path through the trees, three male students were walking and chatting. The path was narrow, so Mr. Smith stepped aside to let them pass. However, just as they brushed past each other, the three suddenly reached out, grabbed his shoulders and back, and pressed two sharp blades against his waist and chest.
“Mr. Smith, please come with us.”
Mr. Smith relaxed his body, raised his hands slightly, and with two blades threatening him, chuckled, “From the Galaxy Society, right?”
Having their identity exposed, the one in front was clearly a bit nervous: “How did you know?”
“Isn’t your cufflink engraved with the logo…”
The man immediately pulled his hand back nervously, only to see there was no cufflink on his sleeve at all, and since when did the Galaxy Society issue logo cufflinks!?
“Hahahaha, with such an innocent reaction, you must be a virgin, right?”
The one behind Mr. Smith was clearly a veteran, unfazed, and growled in a low voice, “Tired of living?!”
Mr. Smith smiled, “You little virgins are just so adorably naive. This is the very heart of the capital, on the famous Tianjing University campus. Threatening someone with knives here—if the police get involved, the soap in the detention center is…”
“Shut up!”
The Galaxy Society operative didn’t hesitate to press the knife in a little further. For most people, committing murder in Tianjing would be an enormous psychological burden, but the Galaxy Society never lacked desperados.
If the other party still didn’t know what was good for him, he wouldn’t hesitate to drive the blade straight into the young man’s heart.
The one in front sneered, “Watched too much news, have you? Think the capital is some kind of utopia, that the police are all-powerful? Before the police arrive, we could kill you ten times over!”
Mr. Smith was momentarily stunned: “Kill me ten times? Then you’d better hurry up.”
The next moment, several blinding white lights suddenly converged from all directions, instantly blinding the three operatives. At the same time, a loudspeaker blared.
“We are the Tianjing City Police. We received a tip from the public and suspect you are hiding drugs and involved in drug use and trafficking. Immediately drop your weapons and surrender!”
The three operatives stared at each other in disbelief, feeling as if countless thunderclaps were exploding in their minds, shattering their reason to pieces.
Tianjing City Police? Drug use and trafficking? What the hell is going on?!
