"Hui Lang, I need a large shipment, the latest and most powerful firepower."
"No problem, but the price might double."
"Why? Prices don't skyrocket like that. You're crazy about making money. Don't forget what happened before..."
Wang Gebi's voice was cold. Money wasn't an issue, but he wouldn't allow himself to be extorted, especially considering Hui Lang owed him his life.
Hui Lang hurried to explain, "It's not my fault. You guys offended the wrong people. At this time, even if it's not me, finding someone willing to sell you weapons is impossible. I'd pay you if you could."
Hearing Hui Lang's tone, Wang Gebi realized things were beyond his control. "Offended people? What happened?"
"Don't you know?"
"I've been laying low lately, haven't received any news."
Taking a deep breath, Hui Lang said, "Lan Ling, listen carefully and stay calm. The Shadow is gone."
"Gone? How is that possible?"
Wang Gebi couldn't believe it. The Shadow was the world's number one assassin organization.
"It's true. Now the assassin world is going crazy. Providing clues fetches ten million, proving someone is from the Shadow starts at a billion, not to mention those on the rankings. Even the attempts on their lives were thwarted. Don't show your face now, just find a safe place to hide."
Wang Gebi took a sharp breath, but soon he calmed down. "Forget about that. Let's talk about the arms deal. I agree to the price. Send them to Jiang City in Hua Country."
"So, you're hiding in Hua Country. It's indeed safer there. Okay, I'll contact you with the details."
After exchanging pleasantries, Hui Lang hung up. If it weren't for the life-saving favor from Lan Ling, he wouldn't risk his life doing this.
Money could be made anywhere, but if labeled with the Shadow's tag, one might not see tomorrow's sun.
With the arms deal settled, it was time to deal with personnel.
The Wang family had been involved in charity work for years, adopting many orphans and providing them with employment opportunities when they grew up. Many ended up working as bodyguards.
For Wang Gebi to build his own team, the best choice was to select from these people. After all, some things needed trusted individuals for proper management.
Most of the security company staff were ex-soldiers, trained in the military in their earlier years.
After leaving the military, they were recruited by the Wang family with generous salaries. Grateful to the Wang family, some of them turned down higher-paying offers, showing that these individuals were valuable assets in Wang Gebi's eyes.
Thirty-six strong young men were carefully selected, and Wang Gebi began training them in his own way.
Days flew by, and Wang Gebi received an unfamiliar call on his cellphone.
"The goods are here. Ten o'clock tonight, at Jiangwan Wharf."
The call came and went in haste, seeming to be just a notification. Before Wang Gebi could respond, the caller had already hung up.
Biyun Grand Hotel
Reception Dinner for Wang Gebi
To celebrate Wang Gebi's release from the hospital and prison, a double joyous occasion.
The four dandies of Jiangcheng specially gathered at the hotel.
To celebrate together.
"Come on, Wang Ge, we toast to you."
"Zhou Ge, cheers."
After three rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes,
Several people finally began to discuss serious matters.
"Zhou Ge, what I did that day was wrong, I'll punish myself with three cups."
Wang Gebi filled his glass and drank three cups.
He mixes in Jiangcheng and inevitably has to deal with the Zhou family.
Now, with enemies still lurking in the shadows and Wang Gebi's foundation not yet stable, he can only first win over the Zhou family.
Once he's sorted out his own affairs, it will naturally be Zhou Luo's turn.
But before that, he absolutely cannot offend the Zhou family.
"Hey, good brother, look, your big brother isn't doing well, let bygones be bygones."
Zhou Luo said generously, but didn't touch his drink.
Just putting on a show.
Ring, ring.
Ring, ring.
Apologizing.
Wang Gebi's phone suddenly rang.
"Sorry, I need to take this call."
Wang Gebi glanced at the caller ID on his phone and couldn't help but frown.
It was his man sent to the Jiangwan Wharf.
Leaving the private room, Wang Gebi hurriedly answered the phone.
"Boss, it's bad, the cops found that batch of goods, they're searching everywhere."
The voice on the other end of the line sounded urgent.
"What? I see, try to gather towards the Biyun Grand Hotel on this side, I'll think of something."
With a turn of his mind, Wang Gebi came up with a brilliant idea.
"Big brother, sorry, just got a call."
Wang Gebi walked back in with a smile on his face.
"No worries, no worries."
Zhou Luo naturally knew what call Wang Gebi received.
He's the upstanding citizen who reported that batch of arms.
Just short of receiving a commendation.
"Big brother, to be honest, that day, neither of us won, it's regrettable."
"I often think, if I hadn't cheated that day."
"Dare I ask big brother, can you give me a chance to rematch, fulfill this small wish of mine?"
Wang Gebi lowered his head earnestly.
He was also helpless, but to break the deadlock, this was necessary.
"No problem, no problem, I also feel that day wasn't satisfying enough."
Zhou Luo had long been prepared and naturally wouldn't refuse.
He even wanted to fleece the sheep again.
"Okay, this time let's just be reckless in the city."
"The mountain road of Yuecong Mountain may be steep, but it's not as thrilling as weaving through traffic."
Wang Gebi made up his mind to draw police attention to these second-generation rich kids.
"Alright."
Zhou Luo readily agreed.
"Brothers, you guys have fun, we..."
Zhao Yi and the others didn't want to get involved in their affairs.
"Hey, that's not right, us four dandies naturally go hand in hand."
"Don't worry, I'll cover the betting money this time."
Wang Gebi spoke boldly.
Compared to the gains and losses of the arms, the potential danger posed.
This bit of money was nothing.
"Well... then, alright."
Since Wang Gebi put it this way, Zhao Yi and the others didn't dare to refuse.
Outside the Biyun Grand Hotel
Four supercars parked in a line, as usual, with a princess throwing her stockings fiercely upward.
As soon as they hit the ground, four sports cars burst out in an instant.
Vroom... vroom... screech!
The piercing sound of brakes echoed through the air a kilometer away from the Blue Cloud Hotel.
"Comrade, hello, please turn off the engine, get out of the car, and cooperate with us."
The road ahead was completely blocked, not even a gap left. A group of traffic police surrounded the four sports cars.
Seeing the situation, the four individuals had no choice but to obediently get out of the car. Even if they were arrogant, they wouldn't dare to openly resist in front of everyone, especially when the road was already sealed off, leaving them with no chance of escape.
"Come on, blow into this."
The traffic police took out a breathalyzer and placed it in front of everyone.
Zhou Luo stepped forward first, and the machine showed no anomalies. He hadn't drunk any alcohol at all.
Then, the remaining three refused to take the test no matter what, but they all knew whether they had been drinking or not.
"Well then, see you at the finish line."
Zhou Luo waved casually, then drove the sports car away leisurely.
Leaving behind the three individuals and a group of traffic police staring at each other.
"Comrade, please cooperate, or else we'll have to enforce it."
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
