As soon as Wang Bin returned to the real world, his phone kept beeping. When he took it out, he found more than a dozen missed calls and text messages.

Most of the phone calls and text messages were from You Hongfei and Li Xingping, and there was even a call from Zhao Qian.

He ignored Zhao Qian and instead dialed You Hongfei's number directly. The call was answered immediately.

"Hey Wang Bin, where have you been? I can't get through to you on the phone."

"Hongfei, I've gone out on some errands. The signal's bad over there. By the way, have any police officers been looking for you?"

"What do the police want with me?"

"Didn't I hit Brother Dong from the Black Tiger Gang? I'm afraid they'll call the police!"

"Don't worry, the police haven't contacted you! They're gangsters, they would never call the police, they wouldn't want to lose face like that! Besides, your feud with him is a gangster feud, they'll only handle it according to gangster rules!"

"Oh, that's good! By the way, what did you want to see me about?"

"You know what, Xingping and I actually found two places by following your method of finding a real estate agent. One is in the North District, and the other is in the South District. The location in the South District is better, but the rent is also more expensive, 100,000 yuan a month, and the rent has to be paid annually! We have taken photos and videos of both places, and we are waiting for you to make a decision."

"The North District has only been developed for a few years, and the economy there is not yet mature. If it's in the South District, that would be best. As long as the location is good, even if the rent is a little higher, you don't have to worry about not making a profit!"

"That's true. I'll contact the agent now and go sign the contract tomorrow!"

"Yes, while you're at it, find a jewelry processing factory, preferably not too far from the shop. Also, I heard that there used to be many skilled jewelry makers in Tonghai. After you find a factory, go there and hire a few master craftsmen. As long as they're willing to come, we don't mind paying a higher price. At the same time, recruit a few apprentices, but make sure to sign long-term contracts with them!"

"Okay, I'll ask the agent later. It would be best to resolve this all by tomorrow. Once we find a place, I'll take care of the business license and renovations, and Xingping will handle the hiring of craftsmen."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work during this time!"

"It's not hard, this is how it is during the startup phase! By the way, I have another piece of news for you. Last night, Xingping and I each slapped Yuan Shengrui across the face, and he didn't dare to utter a sound!"

"Thanks! That guy's a real scoundrel; you'd better be careful around him from now on!"

"Okay, it's getting late, I'll call the agent now!"

"Okay, you're busy!"

His gold was all transported from the apocalypse, so there was basically no cost to it. What he needs to do now is turn the gold into money, so he doesn't care about rent or wages at all. As long as he can convert the gold into cash, he'll make a profit.

Another thing Wang Bin was most worried about in the apocalypse was that Dong Ge from the Black Tiger Gang would call the police, which would make him a wanted man. Now that he knows they didn't call the police, he feels relieved.

However, upon closer reflection, he realized that, just as You Hongfei had said, this was a matter of the martial arts world. If they, as members of the martial arts world, went to the police, they would lose face in the martial arts world and would be unable to hold their heads high in front of other gangs in the future.

Moreover, they were in the wrong first, since they were the ones who came to cause him trouble, and even if they were to be held accountable, they would be implicated.

Next, Wang Bin called Wang Xingping again, repeated his thoughts, chatted for a few more minutes, and then hung up.

After glancing at the phone and thinking for a moment, he finally dialed Zhao Qian's number.

"Hey, Wang Bin, I heard you shot and wounded someone from the Black Tiger Gang, is that true?"

"My affairs are none of your business."

"You! I know I've wronged you, and I don't ask for your forgiveness, but do you know this is illegal? If the police find out, you'll be arrested!"

How did you know?

"I was right next to Dong when he called Young Master Li, so I heard it! Young Master Li was shocked, but it seems he doesn't want to let you go. He seems to be hiring assassins to deal with you, so you have to be careful! Ah, he seems to be back. I'm not going to talk to you anymore, you have to be very careful!"

Before Wang Bin could speak, Zhao Qian had already hung up the phone.

Since experiencing the apocalypse, Wang Bin had no longer taken Zhao Qian's betrayal to heart.

Putting yourself in Wang Bin's shoes, if he hadn't obtained the system, it would have been difficult for him to achieve anything in this era where connections and family background matter. It's understandable that Zhao Qian chose a shortcut, but it's still a little painful and hard to accept that this happened to her.

However, he has now come to a realization: if two people do not share the same thoughts, why force themselves to be together? Even if they get the other person's body, it will be difficult to get their true feelings.

He has a long life ahead of him, and he wants to find a girl with whom he truly loves each other and with whom he can share hardships.

He had almost forgotten about Zhao Qian, never expecting that she would tell him such important news.

If Young Master Li really does hire assassins to deal with me, then I really need to be careful. It seems I need to prepare some equipment properly.

Currently, the Vajra Palm technique has been upgraded to the second level. It's still effective against ordinary thugs, but it's not enough to deal with experts.

Fortunately, he had already upgraded his shooting skills to level four, and he always kept a pistol in his system space for self-defense, but he still felt it wasn't safe enough.

Now, the only way to become powerful is through the lottery, but he doesn't have much gold left.

To open a jewelry store, he used 4,000 kilograms of gold as preparation funds. Now, he only has 150 kilograms of gold left in the system space, enough for only one lottery draw.
