Chapter 58 Subsequent Arrangements
"Couldn't you have called me! Couldn't you have told me you were safe? You know what I have in my basement, there's an armory right under my butt, I'm always worried about being blown up while I'm sleeping!"
"He even told me he would pay the brothers' salaries. But after I made that promise, the brothers glared at me for three days. In the end, the way they looked at me was different!"
"And another thing, why was that driver going so fast? Boss, tell me the truth, did you see me this morning and deliberately make him drive so fast...?"
Oswald stirred the yogurt oatmeal, then quietly glanced at Reus.
"Wei, did you genetically modify Uncle? I remember he wasn't like this before." Oswald whispered, covering his mouth.
"It's probably menopausal syndrome. You're just getting old, there's nothing you can do about it."
Qin Wei grabbed a slice of pizza, ate it in two bites, and then licked his fingers.
For the past few months, his diet has been high in carbohydrates, and a thin layer of fat has appeared on his stomach. The clear and firm eight-pack abs that he had when he first transmigrated are now faintly visible.
Oswald, on the other hand, has always been disciplined with his diet, which is why he has maintained a very good physique.
Qin Wei remembered that the penguins in the comics were all short and chubby, but he wondered if Oswald in this timeline would also be heading towards middle-aged obesity.
"Are you even listening to me...?"
After venting his stress, Reus slumped into his chair in despair.
"Oh, of course, yes!"
After finishing the last slice of pizza, Qin Wei let out a satisfied burp and straightened his posture.
"Royce, I'll give you the job postings later. Print them out tomorrow and have your men put them all over the lower district."
Reus nodded.
"Oswald, find a spacious, covered area, preferably like an abandoned auto repair shop, with doors that can be closed." Qin Wei turned his gaze to the little penguin.
"I do know a few places like that, but you're probably looking to hire people, right? The Senate is enough. Why do you need a place like a factory?"
"Because someone is bound to cause trouble. Do you want to tear the roof off the Senate?"
Oswald seemed to understand something; he seemed to have guessed who those troublemakers Qin Wei was talking about were.
"As for me, I need to find someone tomorrow who can get me a detailed map of the bank."
Institutions like banks have very secretive underground vaults, and he didn't have much time to commit the crime on the day of the robbery. If he wasted more time searching for Maroney's vault, it could very well delay his plans.
If the escape time is missed, the bank will be surrounded by the Gotham City Police Department, at which point a dilemma will be presented to them—whether or not to take action against the Gotham City Police Department.
Currently, he is still a partner of the police, but if he crosses the line and is charged with assaulting a police officer, it will not be easy for him to come back.
Only by doing everything possible to avoid conflict with the police can one have the right to negotiate with Gordon after the matter is settled.
Therefore, he had to make the entire plan flawless.
The most important thing is to find out the location of Maronny's vault.
After construction is completed, two maps are kept: one is given to the design institute of the government agency for safekeeping, and the other is kept by the building owner.
Qin Wei didn't know if Gotham was in the same situation, so he planned to investigate both sides.
One of the tasks was naturally taken on by the elusive cat-eye thief, Ms. Selena, but he still had no idea who would do the other.
Qin Wei immediately thought of Dick.
Dick, who grew up watching trapeze performances, is agile and nimble, making him the perfect choice for this infiltration and theft operation. But now, the fate of the "butt boy" remains unknown.
Dick's disappearance was an accident.
Qin Wei had a good plan: he would go to meet Dick as soon as Barron died. However, the riots in the lower district delayed the plan. He also went to buy weapons with Royce and was later imprisoned by Maroni. All of this took up a whole week.
Finding Dick now is like finding a needle in a haystack. Maybe we should look for a teammate with maxed-out agility when we recruit in a few days.
Qin Wei was ready to give up on Dick when Royce suddenly spoke up:
"Hey? Boss, I almost forgot to tell you, I have someone I'd like to recommend to you."
"Who?"
"You know that Barron killed the Flying Graysons, right...?"
"Where is he?!" Before Royce could finish his rambling, Qin Wei slammed his fist on the table and stood up excitedly.
Just when Qin Wei was racking his brains trying to find a second candidate, Royce delivered a divine assist. At that moment, Qin Wei just wanted to hug Royce's deeply lined old face and give him a good kiss.
"He's in my apartment... but why do I feel like you've known him for a long time?"
At this point, Oswald acted as the narrator, responsible for explaining the whole story to Reus.
After hearing this story, the middle-aged man felt terrible.
"So, all this commotion in the lower district was instigated by you, old man?"
"What do you mean by 'instigating'? That's an unpleasant word to hear! If it weren't for Baron's shots, none of this would have happened. Besides, the Lower District was already chaotic. You Romans had neither the ability to deal with the Red Hood gang nor the courage to control your men, and the result was..."
Qin Wei pouted and shrugged to show how innocent he was.
Reus didn't refute, lit a cigarette and smacked his lips.
Damn, what this kid said makes a lot of sense.
Because Dick's injuries were too severe, Qin Wei temporarily arranged for Royce to take care of him.
After handing over their tasks, the group was exhausted. They said their goodbyes briefly and returned to their respective residences.
After so many days, Qin Wei can finally get a good night's sleep.
……
The next morning, he called Selena.
"What do you need me for?"
On the other end of the phone, the catwoman's tone was as cold and hard as a stone. If this conversation had appeared in a comic book, Qin Wei even suspected that he would have been crushed to death by the chat box.
He didn't know why the other person was angry, only that they were still upset, so he could only reply with a smile.
"There's something I'd like to ask you."
"Huh? You only contact me when you need something?"
Isn't that obvious? Why would I bother you for no reason? Hearing this sarcastic reply, he really wanted to give him a straight-man jab.
"We're partners, aren't we? Didn't we agree to work together to take down Falcone?"
A busy tone came from the receiver.
"Damn it, she gave me that attitude first thing in the morning. What did I do to offend her?" After being hung up on, the male chauvinist scratched his head in confusion.
Oswald yawned and staggered out of the bedroom, sleepily taking the can of oatmeal from the cabinet and pouring a big mouthful into a bowl.
"You eat this every morning and night? Are you on a diet?!"
After being scolded by Catwoman, Qin Wei, in a bad mood, vented his anger on Oswald.
The little penguin touched his nose in shock. He was usually the one who threw a tantrum when he woke up, so why did Qin Wei also take the wrong medicine today?
"Do you think I wanted this? Even the worst oatmeal is better than toast... But speaking of which, that thing you bought me last time was pretty good, wasn't it called dumplings?"
"Are you out of your mind or did you get your head caught in a door? When have I ever bought you dumplings?"
"When I was in the hospital the other day, Groscia said she didn't buy this, so only you would have bought it!"
Qin Wei was taken aback; he seemed to know why Selena was angry.
