"A secret room... a safe..."
Jiang Lu walked back and mulled over the clue provided by the factory beauty:
"Could this be any more classic?".
It felt like some trashy American spy movie trope: a mysterious safe, meaningless conflict, plus a sudden, imposed sense of justice.
A gambling dad, a sick mom, a brother in school, and the incomplete her.
If I don't help her, who will?
But the good news is that not everything is cliché, at least the relationships are somewhat novel.
The factory beauty is the factory manager's mistress, and Jiang Lu is the mistress's lover.
Thus, Jiang Lu would like to call this operation "Green within Green: A Deadly Settlement!"
"So how do I find a time when the manager isn't in his office?" Jiang Lu pondered, "Generally speaking, I'd need to get my hands on his schedule, right?"
It had to be said, Jiang Lu was somewhat stereotyping.
This wasn't a movie, and the factory manager wasn't an NPC who only acted according to a set schedule.
