The next day, Jiang Junyi, led by Uncle Wu, went to White Court.
At this moment, he was both excited and nervous, wondering what White Court was truly like.
The luxury car slowly stopped. Jiang Junyi straightened his clothes, then opened the car door.
When he stood still...
His heart instantly turned cold.
Jiang Junyi turned his head expressionlessly to look at Uncle Wu, pointing at a plaque:
"You mean, this commercial city called White Court Street is the hidden force of our Jiang Family?"
Uncle Wu bowed slightly: "Yes, Young Master."
"As the saying goes, 'true recluses hide in plain sight.' All the shops on this street belong to our White Court members."
Jiang Junyi's mouth twitched, and he pointed in another direction: "Is that old man at the gate one of them?"
Uncle Wu glanced at the old man in a white undershirt fanning himself at the entrance: "Oh, that's not him."
"This is..."
"That's fine then." Jiang Junyi didn't wait for Uncle Wu to finish.
Since he was already here, he might as well take a look.
What else could he do?
He sighed softly and walked towards the street.
Behind him, Uncle Wu opened his mouth, wanting to say that this was not a White Court member, but one of the Heavenly Kings guarding the Jiang Family.
But then he thought, since the Young Master asked that, he must have seen something extraordinary about the old man...
So he quickly followed Jiang Junyi's footsteps.
Just as Jiang Junyi approached, the old man at the entrance looked up:
"Well, well, a remarkable young man has arrived."
Jiang Junyi paused, then nodded: "Hello, sir."
"Quite polite. Are you seeing someone?" The old man asked with a smile, fanning himself.
"Uh, I guess so."
"Very good, go on in and have some fun."
Jiang Junyi acknowledged him, then walked into White Court Street.
Uncle Wu then bowed slightly to the old man.
The old man waved his fan, indicating that no words were needed.
Jiang Junyi looked at the dazzling, fragrant street, feeling a bit dramatic.
"Uncle Wu, how do I rally people here?"
Uncle Wu pointed to a newsstand in the very center: "Young Master can show him the tiger tally, and all your requests will be resolved."
Jiang Junyi nodded, looking slightly enlightened, then walked up to the newsstand:
"Ahem."
The auntie sitting in the newsstand, cracking melon seeds, looked up at Jiang Junyi: "What's up? Got a cough?"
Jiang Junyi's mouth twitched, and he pulled out the tiger tally.
The auntie first narrowed her eyes slightly, then put on a pair of reading glasses, pushing them up gently, and scrutinized it: "Court Master?"
"That's right!" Jiang Junyi's expression showed satisfaction; he had finally revealed his identity!
"Oh~ Jiang Wudao, that little brat, gave you the tiger tally. What do you need?" The auntie just took one look, then continued cracking melon seeds.
Jiang Junyi was a bit stunned. At this moment, he finally understood why his father wanted to hand this organization over to him!
The auntie at the newsstand was calling his father a 'little brat'!
Jiang Junyi sighed resignedly: "Auntie, it's like this..."
After listening, the auntie looked at Jiang Junyi with interest: "I wouldn't have guessed, you're quite the romantic, kid."
"Alright, follow auntie."
The auntie put down her melon seeds and walked out of the newsstand.
She led Jiang Junyi to various shops, and what followed was Jiang Junyi watching the auntie wield her influence.
"Hey, that one! Lao Liang! Is your son still busy?"
"Okay, if he's not busy, tell him to get ready to join this place and have some fun..."
"Lao Liang, I remember your daughter is playing at home, right?"
"Good, tell her to go out and get some exercise. Young people shouldn't always stay cooped up at home."
...
Jiang Junyi watched as the auntie went from shop to shop, casually recruiting seven people as if chatting with neighbors.
"That's about enough. Any more and I feel like your partner's organization won't be able to handle it, and the people auntie picked for you are absolutely worry-free!"
The auntie looked proud, guaranteeing her choices.
"Mhm, I trust Aunt Zhao." Jiang Junyi nodded earnestly.
Hearing Jiang Junyi change his address, the auntie's face broke into a happy smile: "You don't know, but auntie held you when you were little, and even helped you wash your bottom because you pooped in..."
"Hey, hey, hey! Auntie! I have something else to do! I'll be going now!" Jiang Junyi, hearing about his past embarrassing moments, quickly interrupted and then ran off in a flash.
Seeing Jiang Junyi's retreating figure, the auntie's face showed a trace of nostalgia:
"Before I knew it, Wudao's son is already so grown up."
She looked at Uncle Wu: "Xiao Wu, you've gotten old too."
Uncle Wu smiled: "Yes, but Aunt Zhao hasn't changed at all, still as young."
"Oh, you!" Aunt Zhao smiled and rolled her eyes at Uncle Wu, "Take good care of him."
"Rest assured."
In the distance—"Uncle Wu! Let's go!"
Uncle Wu bowed and hurried towards the distance.
At this moment, all the shop owners on White Court Street involuntarily looked towards the spirited young figure in the distance...
