Chapter 109: Boss
The streets of Shuhui Street this morning were bustling with noise. Commuters were no longer visible at this hour, but the clubs, bars, restaurants, hair salons, movie theaters, and other shops lining the main road were still packed with people coming and going.
Gu He's day off had been canceled once again. Carrying his Thermos Cup, he trailed behind Lorna and Sakai Huaqing down the street.
Earlier, Old Fan had informed Miss Ayane that several members of the Black Panther Gang had come looking for Fist Guy. When Miss Ayane couldn't reach Fist Guy by phone, she sent Gu He and Sakai Huaqing out to find him. Lorna had tagged along as well.
"Mr. Hirata!"
Sakai Huaqing hurried toward a gang of bikers in black leather jackets with bizarre hairstyles. Over a dozen of them were straddling modified motorcycles parked by the curb, chatting and tossing baseball bats. It was the Hirata Group.
They turned to look, eyeing the innocent-looking girl. "Who are you?" "Don't mess with us."
"We don't take in women or snot-nosed kids. You check both boxes, so beat it," Mr. Hirata said.
"I'm Sakai Huaqing. I got plastic surgery again," she explained sheepishly. Only then did the members of the Hirata Group realize who she was.
"Three Sentences, huh? What's up?" Mr. Hirata glanced at her through his sunglasses. When she asked about Fist Guy's whereabouts, he answered, "Haven't noticed. There are so many street performers out there; at least a few dozen of them have blond hair."
