Chapter 2313 — Meeting the Boss

Yet Hammer kept leading Wei Zhao downward, all the way to the fifth basement level. This place was utterly different from the previous four. At the entrance to the fifth basement level stood an iron gate, and at the gate, like temple guardian figures, stood two burly men in black!
Their expressions were cold and stern, and their waists bulged—clearly they carried guns or the like on their persons.
"What's your business?" one of the guardians, Guardian A, asked.
"I'm Hammer, a waiter from upstairs. I've landed a big client who wants to see Brother Dafeng. Would you pass on the word?" Hammer said.
Guardian A nodded, swept his gaze over Wei Zhao from head to toe, then said to Guardian B: "You keep an eye on them here. I'll go in and report to Brother Dafeng."
"All right," Guardian B said with a nod.
After Guardian A left, Hammer gave Wei Zhao a reassuring look: "Don't worry, Brother Cannon. This time I'll make sure you get a satisfactory price."
"Well... let's hope so." Wei Zhao clearly still "did not believe" what was happening before his eyes, did not believe Hammer could really get stock at such a low price.
Seeing Wei Zhao's expression, Hammer said nothing more. Once they were in the boss's office, he would naturally see crates of white powder. With the goods right there before his eyes, Wei Zhao would have no choice but to believe it!
After a while, Guardian A came out and said to Hammer: "Brother Dafeng has time now. You can go in, but you'll have to be searched first!"
"No problem!" Hammer shot Wei Zhao a glance. "Go along with it—it's required."
"Oh..." Wei Zhao nodded in agreement.
Guardian B came over and searched Wei Zhao carefully. He showed no particular suspicion toward Wei Zhao's "net of heaven and earth," taking it for an ordinary little mesh pouch, but he frowned at the box of silver needles: "What's this?"
"For acupuncture," Wei Zhao said with a smile. "Sometimes when I'm out and the craving hits, I picked up a bit of acupuncture from someone. It can suppress the craving for a while."
Guardian B nodded. Naturally he did not think Wei Zhao could use silver needles as a weapon, so he had no suspicions and handed them straight back.
"That's enough. Go on in!" Guardian B said flatly.
"Let's go, Brother Cannon!" Hammer called to Wei Zhao with a smile, and together they walked into the fifth basement level.
On the fifth basement level, the opulence of the corridor alone was enough to make one click one's tongue. But Wei Zhao's expression showed nothing unusual. This was doubtless where the Conch Bar's core tier did its day-to-day business; ordinary people could never easily come here.
And Hammer had obviously been here before—he knew the place like the back of his hand.
