"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."

Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives.

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
[Dao Companion Rental System]. By renting himself out as a temporary dao companion to daughters of destiny, Qin Hao could obtain generous rewards. His service philosophy was simple: play the role of the devoted lover, resolve their troubles, depart without a trace once the matter was settled, and absolutely avoid entangling karma. However, those daughters of destiny didn't see it that way. That night, all the major powers across the Three Realms and Nine Heavens jointly besieged the Qin Clan, plunging it into an unprecedented crisis. "It's Su Qingyue! The peerless sword immortal who attained the Dao and became an Immortal Emperor in a thousand years, the one who severed the River of Time with a single sword strike! When... when did our Qin Clan make an enemy of her?" Qin Hao stepped forward, clearing his throat lightly: "Ahem, Ancestors, don't panic. She's here for me. To be honest... she's my ex-girlfriend." From another direction, the newly ascended Empress of the Demon Realm arrived with ten thousand demons pressing on the border: "Qin Hao! Today, the entire Qin Clan shall be buried with you!" Hearing this, the Qin Clan ancestors all turned their eyes sharply towards Qin Hao. Qin Hao scratched his head somewhat sheepishly: "The Demon Empress... she's also my ex-girlfriend." Before the Qin ancestors could process this, an aloof figure traversed the River of Time: "The Qin Clan deserves annihilation!" Recognizing the newcomer, the Qin ancestors paled in terror: "It's her! Liu Ruyan, the Extinction Empress who ventured alone into the alien realm and suppressed it for an entire epoch! Didn't she vanish into the River of Time long ago? Why would she cross it just to target our clan?" Qin Hao scratched his head again, looking even more embarrassed: "My fault, my fault. She's an ex-girlfriend too." Watching countless celestial maidens descend, the Qin Clan ancestors were utterly astounded: "You scoundrel! Just... just how many women have you gotten involved with over the years?"
