"This, indeed, is the handiwork of Miss Fei'er. Ahaha, I wonder what is your relationship with her ......, guest?"
The man in the striped dress wiped his sweat with a handkerchief while greeting Aiden with a compensating smile.
"Are you the owner of this place?" Aiden sized up the man in front of him.
After arriving at this "Midnight Rose" nightclub and handing over Faye's letter of introduction to the receptionist, Aiden was immediately invited to a single room decorated with an earthy and luxurious aura, where he was waited for by this middle-aged man who looked like the person in charge of this place.
"Yes yes yes!" The nightclub's owner nodded his head busily.
Judging from the location and specifications of the shop, this "Midnight Rose" was already considered to be one of the top-ranking shops in the highly competitive Fireworks Lane. The owner of this place must undoubtedly be a wealthy person to a considerable extent, and to do this kind of business, most of them must be the kind of local snakes who have accumulated a certain amount of contacts and skills in order to be able to get along for a long time.
But in front of Aiden, this boss not only personally came out to receive him, the attitude can be said to be quite easy ...... to approach, and has even reached the degree of almost pleasing.
"You don't have to be so nervous, I'm just here to inquire about something." Aiden smiled at him.
"Don't worry, since it was introduced by Miss Fei'er, we will absolutely cooperate." The boss sat upright.
"Oooh, is that woman ...... really so rowdy here?" Aiden couldn't help but shrug his eyebrows.
"What kind of words are you talking about, Miss Fei'er, but the God of the industry in Smoke Alley!" The owner's face revealed a few moments of solemn respect, "She's here, with a small shop, directly sucking away more than half of the customer traffic in Fireworks Alley, a day's performance is more than the other shops for a week combined!"
"So this is ......" the owner rubbed his hands together again, and smiled curtly at Aiden, "If you need anything, please feel free to ask, and please tell her to be merciful in the future... ...Ah yes, can you ask for me? Does Big Miss Fei'er have any intention of partnering up in the future, I wonder if we are lucky enough to be able to co-operate with her, the split is good!"
"Got it got it."
Aiden listened without moving on the surface, but in his heart, he was in awe.
That troublesome Phantom who only messed around with him in prison was actually a big shot who called the shots here, this would be unimaginable to anyone.
But the owner of the nightclub, who was sitting opposite him, was thinking of something else.
Aiden came today and did not wear a uniform, after all, the uniform of the prison guards not only can not bring any investigation on the convenience, but will increase the risk of being seen wearing a uniform into this kind of place, resulting in the publicity of being harmed.
But the boss looked at this mysterious young man in front of him easily took out the introduction letter written by Fei'er, and on his mouth to Fei'er also called so casually, only to feel horrified and inexplicable.
Is this young man not the concubine of ...... Fei Er s great lady? No, looking at this faction that only treated that nightclub queen like a minion, it seemed more likely that he was the big boss sitting behind Fei'er.
Such a big shot, with the flick of a finger, could easily turn the entire Fireworks Alley upside down, and trying to squeeze him out of this nightclub would probably be without batting an eyelid.
This kind of character is absolutely not to be neglected!
"Would you like something to drink? Would you like a drink? Actually, I have some still passable collections ......" the boss smiled attentively.
"No, no, I'll leave after inquiring." Aiden waved his hand, "Yesterday when it was almost nine o'clock, there were two customers I knew who entered your shop, a fat man with a eight-beard, probably in his thirties, and the other was a young man in his early to mid-twenties, I don't know if you can find out on your side who received them?"
"Okay, I'll ask for you right away."
The owner immediately tapped the hand bell on his desk and brought over the person who was in charge of the reception last night, then relayed Aiden's question.
"Ah, you are asking about ...... Officer Jalon Rawdon?" The man in charge of reception immediately had an answer.
"Yes, yes, that's him." Aiden nodded.
"It's that bastard ah ......" The nightclub owner listened to the side and casually cursed in a low voice, then he blushed and realised that he had slipped up, hurriedly explaining to Aiden, "Ah no, I this is just ...... er, sir you and he are not friends, right?"
"Don't worry, technically we're sort of a bit of a friend instead." Aiden gestured for him to relax.
"Oh that's good then." The boss patted his chest and let out a long breath, "Oops, that Officer Roden ah, in the whole of Fireworks Lane is a notorious robber, relying on the name of a mounted police officer, in various shops on credit and not repaying, but also in turn, reverse what the handling fee is, and not moving, he threatened to look for trouble in the shop, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk,...... really! See all headache!"
Obviously, Jalon Rawdon was not a popular figure here.
"Then what did he do here yesterday, did he say anything to that young man he brought with him, tell me everything you know can you?" Aiden continued with his request.
"You wait a moment, I will call the girl who received them for drinks."
The receptionist bowed to him, turned and went out, and in a short time returned with several heavily made-up girls.
Aiden asked questions of those present in turn, gradually restoring the track of the activities of both Jaron and Bruce in this nightclub yesterday.
According to the receptionist and the girls, those two people did not have any special action in this shop yesterday in general, they firstly watched the performance near the stage for a while, and then asked for a private room, let the girls accompany them to drink and have fun until late at night and then dispersed.
One of the only clues, the only one that sounded worthwhile, was that the girls who accompanied them said they had heard Jaron say something to Bruce in a stern voice before they went inside the booth.
"He was like 'blah blah blah blah, don't you drop the ball for me' or something like that." One of the girls said as she thought back and looked at the others, "Right."
The other girls nodded.
"He gave the young man something, didn't you hear the whole thing?" Aiden pressed seriously.
"I'm sorry, it was through the door and I couldn't hear much." The girl shook her head blankly.
Aiden looked at the others and the other girls shook their heads as well.
"Why are you guys so useless! Huh?" The nightclub owner, who was on the sidelines, looked a little anxious, afraid of offending Aiden because of this.
"Sorry, boss!" The girls bowed their heads.
"It's okay it's okay." Aiden raised his hand to intervene and turned back to the girls, "So ...... is there anything else worth caring about? Tell us all."
The girls, worried about receiving another scolding from their boss, hurriedly racked their brains in an effort to recall, and one girl suddenly remembered something, "Ah! Mr Rudd he seems to have changed his pocket watch."
"Yes oh, he changed a silver pocket watch ......"
"He used to brag about his gold pocket watch when he was drunk, saying how powerful the family crest was."
The other girls chimed in to add.
"Pocket watch?" Aiden frowned keenly.
"Geez, what are you guys talking about it for this kind of inconsequential trivia! Don't waste the guests' time, okay?" The owner of the nightclub slapped the table in exasperation.
"Sorry boss!!!" The girls' heads bowed even lower.
You have provided very useful information."
The girls and the nightclub owner looked at each other in disbelief, completely unable to read the young man's reaction.
"Anything else?" Aiden looked at the girls and asked one last time, making sure that he couldn't ask for more information before he got up, "Well, thank you very much for your cooperation, I'll take my leave now."
"I'll see you off." The nightclub owner followed with an attentive face as he stood up.
"No need, just go about your business." Aiden waved his hand and directly left the private room.
The boss gave a wink towards the receptionist, who hurriedly followed to send Aiden to the door, before running back with quick steps and asking in a low voice, "Boss, what exactly is that kid's origin?"
"Don't care who he is, in any case, if this person comes to the shop again in the future, all of them will be received according to the highest standards! If I'm here, let me know immediately! If anyone neglects him, I will definitely not spare you!"
The boss stared at the receptionist's eyes and viciously delivered his instructions.
