Chapter 427 Here with Me
"The badge is made of gold with exquisite craftsmanship. The eyes are made of sapphires, and the number is engraved on the back: I-1981-03-06," Jiang Qilan described seriously.
This Nolan is really good at picking things up!
To be able to pick up such an important badge——
Cheng Ling vaguely guessed why they were so embarrassed later.
The owner of the badge is probably looking for it everywhere.
Jiang Qilan was keenly aware that Cheng Ling's breathing had become tighter: "Is this badge really that important?"
"Important, extremely important!"
Although Cheng Ling was eager to hear what was going on, she still explained the importance of the badge to Jiang Qilan seriously:
"Don't underestimate this badge. Every member of the Union will have a badge in his life. Don't report the loss, don't replace it, recognize the badge but not the person. Owning this badge is like joining the Union. Same. Having this badge is equivalent to having the power to make changes, countless money, and even to a certain extent, the ability to subvert a certain regime. "
Jiang Qilan's expression became serious.
He knew this badge was important, but he never expected it to be so important!
"Recognize the badge but not the person?" Jiang Qilan thought this rule was too weird. He couldn't help but question, "What if someone wants to snatch the badge?"
"Of course this kind of thing has happened," Cheng Ling smiled sarcastically, "not to mention those who were robbed by outsiders. For this badge, there are countless cases of patricide, murder of relatives, and turning against each other."
"The ridiculous thing is that the Freemasons know all this and encourage this competition."
"Also, one good thing about this is that Masons try to keep their membership a secret."
Jiang Qilan was a little confused: "Why would the Heji Association do this? Isn't it good to increase one's reputation?"
"Brother Lan, the Heji Society wants to hide in the dark and stir up trouble. Just like the pattern on the badge, one eye secretly peeks at everything in the world."
"If everyone knew about it, Freemasonry would lose its mystique."
"At the same time, it will also make other forces more alert."
"But in fact, the upper-class dignitaries all regard joining the Freemasonry as an honor, and even eager to publicize it to show how noble their status is."
"Imagine that if a noble joins the Freemasonry, he will definitely publicize it, and his family will also show this honor to other nobles."
"The United Freemasonry Association uses a method of recognizing badges but not people to fundamentally put an end to the behavior of members showing off everywhere."
"Brother Lan, you have to think about the value and rationality of this matter from the perspective of the Union."
Jiang Qilan then imagined that he was in the powerful class of the United Freemasonry. He had an epiphany: "Recognizing the badge but not the person is also a screening behavior. If you can't even protect your own badge, you really are not worthy of staying in the United Freemasonry."
"Members must strictly keep confidentiality and carefully protect their badges - under such circumstances, the person who can still steal the badge is definitely an ordinary person. The Freemasonry needs such ruthless and cunning people."
Cheng Ling said: "That's what it means. Therefore, if you can leave your badge outdoors - this member, the United Financial Aid Society is eager to eliminate it as soon as possible."
After a pause, Cheng Ling asked: "By the way, Brother Lan, where did the badge that Nolan picked up go?"
Jiang Qilan felt that his pocket was now heavy.
He pursed his lips and said, "Here I am."
Before Nolan left, he stuffed this fatal badge into his pocket!
There was no chance for Jiang Qilan to refuse!
