Chapter 2167 Reason
"Men and such are totally unimportant. Having wine to drink and money to gamble are the most important things in life."
Tsunade thought of something and laughed out loud, then drank the nutrient solution. Then she jumped into the bathtub to absorb the medicinal properties of the herbs.
Andrew faintly heard Tsunade's voice and couldn't help but shake his head. He lay on the recliner and continued to think about his superpowers. Outside the window, gunshots and screams were heard from time to time. It was another quiet and peaceful night, which was great.
……
Half a month later, Ashley’s mother Samantha came to her boss’ office, and the boss said straight to the point: “Samantha, you are a new face, and not many people in Flushing have seen you in a police uniform.
Besides, you are very beautiful, you don’t look like a policewoman…”
Samantha said dissatisfiedly: "Sir, I don't think there is anything wrong with me. Whether in the small town or here, I handle everything well."
"Samantha, you misunderstood. I am not questioning your ability. On the contrary, I admire your ability very much. So, I plan to let you go undercover."
The boss smiled, and Samantha's expression eased a little. She asked, "Are you going to be an undercover agent in the gang? Well, I have a bad temper, so I may not be able to do any delicate work."
“Not to a gang, but to a Chinese restaurant.”
The boss turned on the projector and a photo of a Chinese restaurant appeared on the screen. He introduced it, "This Chinese restaurant opened a few months ago. I heard that the taste is a bit special, and the waitresses there often beat people. Therefore, the business is not very good."
"A waitress beat someone up? Was it so brutal? No, why are we investigating a Chinese restaurant? Are we investigating the incident where the waitress injured someone?"
Samantha complained, and her boss said, "In the current situation, who has time to care about such trivial matters? The reason why we want to investigate there is that recently, for some reason, gangs often go there to eat, and usually two gangs go in together.
As you know, this is a chaotic period and we cannot let those gangs cause any big trouble, so I'd like you to go undercover and investigate.
You hide your identity and pretend to be a customer because you like the food there, so you often come here to find out what the gangs are doing?"
Samantha was puzzled: "Uh, why not just bring the people from that restaurant back for investigation?"
The boss explained: "The identity of the restaurant owner is a bit special. The higher-ups have told us to take care of him, so we can't attack him without any reason."
“That’s a relative.”
Samantha snorted. She hated people with connections the most because she had no connections. Of course, it was also because she kept herself clean, otherwise, with her looks, there would be a lot of people like her.
"Okay, I'll go check it out. I hope the food there isn't too special."
Samantha agreed. Then she thought of something and asked, "By the way, will the meal expenses be reimbursed?"
The boss was speechless. It's not that serious, it's just a meal fee. Samantha said, "You have to understand the pain of a single woman raising two children. Meal fees are very important."
"Okay, twenty dollars a day for meals. Don't bargain. Even if you don't have this mission, you still have to eat."
The boss said unhappily, and Samantha shrugged, left the police station, and went undercover in the restaurant.
Originally, Samantha thought this was a simple matter. However, as soon as she entered the restaurant, she heard her daughter asking in surprise, "Uncle, is this true? There is such a thing? Then you are making a fortune, right?"
Andrew sighed, "Yes, I made a fortune. Now I am so poor that I only have money left. I feel empty inside."
"I can help you share some of the burden. I don't mind. I'm also thinking about visiting the alien planet, but the tickets are very expensive."
Ashley complained, and Samantha's blood pressure suddenly rose. She shouted, "Ashley, unless I die, you will never be able to go to the Monster Planet in your life."
Ashley was stunned. She turned around quickly and saw her mother coming over angrily. She was immediately surprised: "Mom, why are you here too?"
"Aunt Samantha." Blair, who was next to Ashley, quickly stood up and greeted her.
Andrew looked at Sheriff Samantha and was also a little surprised. This mother was actually prettier than her daughter.
"I was impulsive. Fortunately, I didn't reveal my identity as a police officer."
Ashley's words woke Samantha up. She glanced at Andrew obscurely and snorted coldly, "Is it not okay for me to come for dinner? Blair, long time no see."
"Come to eat? You're not a local. You haven't heard of this restaurant."
Ashley smiled and said, "By the way, uncle, this is my mom. Mom, this is Uncle Wang from this restaurant. He told me and Blair a lot about Flushing."
"Hello, Mr. Wang."
Samantha extended her hand to Andrew, and Andrew did the same. Then, his next words almost made Samantha jump up: "Hello, Sheriff Samantha."
Samantha suppressed her nervousness and guilt and asked, "How do you know I'm the sheriff?"
"Ashley said so. She's very proud of you."
Andrew laughed, and Samantha smiled awkwardly, but at the same time she felt a headache. Why did she fail at the very beginning? By the way, could the meal expenses still be reimbursed?
"Please take a seat. What would you like to eat? Um, please serve tea and snacks quickly. Do you know how difficult it is to have new customers?"
Andrew shouted to Tsunade who was reading a medical book. In order to break through the Heavenly Father God as soon as possible, Tsunade was no longer lazy and was studying seriously.
Tsunade snorted unhappily and started serving tea. Samantha really wanted to complain, "Is it really okay for you to make fun of your own restaurant like this? Aren't you afraid that I will leave right away?"
"Mom, the dishes in this restaurant are too unique. You probably won't like them. Just order some spring rolls, dumplings, etc. However, the tea here is super delicious. I come here to drink a cup every day now."
Ashley said enthusiastically, and Andrew asked in astonishment, "You and Blair come here every day, isn't it because I'm handsome?"
"Uncle, how many years have you not looked in the mirror?"
Ashley said with contempt, and Blair also shook his head. The uncle was quite interesting, his mentality was completely different from his appearance. He looked like a man in his thirties or forties, but his mentality was like a twenty-year-old young man.
"For many years, when I looked in the mirror, it would shatter due to low self-esteem. In order to protect those mirrors, I swore that I would never look in the mirror again in my life."
Andrew said seriously, Ashley and Blair laughed, Ashley said: "Uncle, I was almost there, really almost there, I thought it was true."
Seeing the three people laughing together, Samantha frowned and looked at Andrew as if she was looking at a wild boar that wanted to harm her own cabbage, and an old wild boar at that.
"That won't do. I've worked so hard to raise my daughter, why can't she marry someone older than me?"
Samantha thought secretly, and she deliberately asked: "Mr. Wang, your restaurant is very quiet? The rent here is very expensive, right?"
"It's a bit expensive, but it's not a big problem. Apart from the wages of my employees, I can afford everything else."
Andrew laughed, and Ashley laughed beside him: "Mom, don't worry, there are suckers who help him pay, he is making a lot of money now."
Samantha asked curiously, "What kind of sucker?"
"Aren't there a lot more gangs in Flushing now? For some reason, those gangs chose his restaurant to negotiate."
Ashley took the initiative to explain: "The uncle is a black-hearted guy. He charges them 10,000 US dollars every time, or both sides take the full amount. What's even more black-hearted is that he only serves them mineral water."
Andrew said seriously: "This is not a bad heart. I am helping them calm down so that they don't fight."
Ashley and Blair booed. After spending half a month together, how could the two girls not know what kind of person Andrew is?
"negotiation?"
Samantha was stunned. Is this the reason why so many gangs came here? Uh, if I find out the truth so quickly, can I still get my meal expenses reimbursed?
"Mr. Wang, why did those gangs choose to negotiate here? Gang members are not good people."
Samantha asked, "If you were coerced, I suggest you call the police."
Ashley complained: "Mom, you are cutting off uncle's financial resources."
"Don't worry, it's okay. My female employee can't do other things, but she is born with supernatural powers. Those gangs can't beat her. Therefore, they think it's safe here."
Andrew explained: "The underworld is never about fighting and killing, but about human relationships. Those gangs don't really want to keep fighting, but the problem is that they have no channels for communication. If they negotiate, they can easily be ambushed by the other side.
In this situation, a gang came to my restaurant and invited people from another gang to negotiate. The people from the other gang were dishonest and wanted to make trouble, so my employees broke their hands and feet and threw them out. That gang automatically won.
After that, I became very popular among the gang members. They all came here to negotiate. I guess they all hoped that the other party would do something so that they could kill someone with a borrowed knife.”
"Break your limbs?"
Samantha was stunned and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Tsunade. Is this woman so cruel? Is she a superpower? No, why would a superpower be a waitress here?
In this world, people with superpowers have very high status. They can become superheroes, bodyguards, researchers, or go on expeditions to alien planets. If that doesn't work, they can become super villains. There is no reason for a person with superpowers to be a waiter here?
Tsunade didn't care about Samantha's gaze. She thought of something and said, "Wait, it seems that this way of making money was opened up because of me. Let's split the money 30% and 70%, you get 30% and I get 70%. "
Andrew said, "It's 50-50. The money will be deducted from the money you owe me."
Tsunade cursed, "If I borrow money from you again, I'll be the pig in Shizune's hands."
"You owe money?"
Ashley, Blair, and Samantha immediately began to imagine all kinds of plots in their minds. For example, a person with special abilities was forced to work here because he owed money. He had to serve customers hard during the day and serve an unscrupulous boss at night. It was really... exciting.
