Moments later, the waiter came over with the dishes.
"Sir, your food is ready."
"Great, thank you."
I nodded, picked up my chopsticks, and began to taste the food.
I must say, this little restaurant may not look impressive, but the cooking is quite good, with several dishes having their own unique flavors.
"My lord, this dish..."
"Eat, just eat!"
I smiled and didn't say much more, simply enjoying the meal heartily.
Seeing me eat so happily, Mou Xiaoning and the others also set aside their reservations and began to feast.
"How do you find the food, gentlemen?"
Just as we were enjoying our meal, a middle-aged man approached us with a broad smile.
"Not bad, not bad."
I put down my chopsticks and looked at the middle-aged man.
"Who might you be?"
"I am Liu Liu. May I ask which one is Ye Yifan, Lord Ye?"
"I am he."
"Lord Ye, it is an honor to meet you!"
Liu Liu cupped his fists in a gesture of respect.
"Liu Liu, you are too kind. As newcomers, we hope you will take care of us."
"Of course, of course!"
Liu Liu smiled.
"Lord Ye, this is not a suitable place for conversation. Please follow me."
"Alright!"
I nodded and followed Liu Liu inside.
Liu Liu led us through the kitchen to a private room in the backyard.
"Lord Ye, please take a seat!"
"Brother Liu Liu, please!"
I sat across from Liu Liu, while Mou Xiaoning and the others stood silently behind me.
"Lord Ye, the master has already called me. Please feel free to ask for any information you need."
"Brother Liu Liu, how much do you know about Lu Yitau?"
"Lu Yitau?"
Liu Liu furrowed his brows.
"Lord Ye, why are you asking about this person?"
"Brother Liu Liu, the master should have told you. My mission here is to rescue Tang Chenshung's son."
"This..."
Liu Liu hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke up.
"Lord Ye, Lu Yitau is the tyrant of Golden Lake, and he has Feng Qinian backing him. He is not someone to be trifled with!"
"Liu Liu, you only need to tell me his information; I can handle the rest."
"Alright."
Liu Liu nodded.
" Lu Yitau is one of Feng Qinian's most favored disciples. His residence is on Apricot Tree Street, and he usually operates from there."
"Apricot Tree Street?"
I frowned slightly.
"That place is not a good spot."
Apricot Tree Street is the most famous red-light district in Golden lake, filled with casinos, brothels, smoking houses, and many gangsters; it is very chaotic.
"Liu Liu, I need all the information on Lu Yitau, including his whereabouts, hobbies, personality, relationships, and so on."
"Lord Ye, don't worry; I'll have it for you by tomorrow morning."
"Good, I'll wait for your news!"
After saying that, I stood up and prepared to leave.
"Lord Ye, it is a pleasure to meet you today. Allow me to treat everyone to a few drinks."
"Brother Liu Liu, you are too kind. Let's save it for after we complete our mission; then we can have a proper feast!"
"That works!"
Liu Liu nodded and did not say anything further.
That evening, we found an inn near Ximen Bridge to stay at.
Later that night, I sat in my room, organizing the information in my mind.
Liu Liu is a spy from the Xiazhu Military Council Dark Investigation Division's Department of Land, assigned to Golden Lake, and has been here for three years.
He is very familiar with the situation in Golden Lake.
According to Liu Liu, Lu Yitau is the tyrant of Golden Lake, with a vast influence and backed by Feng Qinian, making him difficult to deal with.
Therefore, we must proceed with caution.
My plan is to first show courtesy before taking action.
