Chen Dong was so frightened that he stood up abruptly.

"Cough cough cough..."

The nicotine he hadn't had time to spit out made him cough repeatedly.

A young man in a black suit stood about a meter away.

The swirling white smoke gave it an ethereal, otherworldly quality.

How did this person appear out of thin air?

"Your real name is Chen Shumin, right?"

The young man stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly:

"Two years ago, in the southern part of China, a bank robbery occurred in the northern district."

"Who would have thought that the once spirited Young Master Chen would end up like this? Heh..."

Chen Shumin, who was using the alias Chen Dong, was extremely shocked and his mind raced as he devised a countermeasure.

The person who came was able to discern his true identity so easily; he must be no ordinary person.

In addition, someone just now displayed a magical and extraordinary skill; this person is not to be trifled with!

It seems that he and Chen Hainian have really hit rock bottom today.

"Who...are you?"

Chen Shumin asked in a hoarse voice, his throat tightening from the smoke.

“No problem, my name is Lin Dong, which means forest with two trees and winter.”

"You...you're Lin Dong? The mastermind behind the Dragon Gang?!"

Chen Shumin was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost lost his balance.

The last bit of energy and spirit in my body seemed to have been completely drained away in an instant.

He would never understand why a big shot like Lin Dong would specifically target him.

Could it be that he was hiding his identity and planning to work at the Dragon Gang's place?

Logically, this shouldn't be the case.

I joined the Dragon Roar Nightclub simply to find a way out; I never had any intention of harming the Dragon Gang.

"You must be wondering why I came to you?" Lin Dong chuckled. "Chen Shumin, accept your fate. Some things are preordained by God."

"Master Dong, I am just a down-on-his-luck fugitive, I really can't figure out how I offended you?"

Chen Shumin calmed himself down and said.

"You haven't offended me, but there's an unresolved karmic debt between us."

Lin Dong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, and lit it.

"Do you really want to work for Dragon's Roar?"

"Yes, because I need money," Chen Shumin answered honestly.

"Have you spent all the millions you stole?" Lin Dong took a deep drag on his cigarette and continued to ask.

"I lost some money in business, but I was cheated out of most of it."

"That's true. Given the situation of the two of you, without any backing or connections here, you're lucky you haven't lost your lives."

"Master Dong, may I ask what karmic connection exists between us?"

"No rush. Answer me one question first: once you've earned enough money, do you plan to continue wandering or return to your home country?"

Chen Shumin lowered his head and pondered for a while before answering seriously, "Return to China."

"Going back to China? You must have your own meticulous plans... Don't worry, I can't be bothered with your affairs, but do you want to hear something from me?"

"Master Dong, what do you want to say? Please speak frankly."

"Remember this: What goes around comes around, and the net of heaven will surely close in all directions."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Dong. I will certainly keep it in mind." Chen Shumin respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.

“Remembering is useless. You can’t even escape the net of heaven, let alone the Dao of Heaven,” Lin Dong said calmly, exhaling smoke.

Chen Shumin's expression changed, unsure how to respond.

"Alright, I'll stop beating around the bush. Do you want to join Dragon's Roar as a manager?"

"Get into Longyin as a manager? Mr. Dong, you're not kidding, are you?" Chen Shumin was very surprised.

Do I look like someone who's joking?

"It doesn't seem like it, but...why?"

"Don't ask, don't inquire, I'm only asking if you're willing?"

"Master Dong, is the supervisor's salary high?"

"Not high, $10,000 a month, plus performance bonuses."

"Ten thousand US dollars?!" Chen Shumin exclaimed.

How could a mere manager at the Dragon Roar Nightclub earn such an outrageous salary?

"Don't doubt it, your position as supervisor is somewhat special, but... I have two conditions."

Lin Dong said with a grin.

"Master Dong, please tell me. As long as it doesn't cost me my life, I'm willing to do it!" Chen Shumin was determined.

When a person has experienced wealth and then fallen into poverty and desperation, it is very difficult for them to refuse even if you ask them to kneel down and bark like a dog, or even to commit murder.

Moreover, what about a desperate criminal like Chen Shumin who has robbed banks?

"The conditions are simple: first, you and Chen Hainian must both join the Dragon Gang."

Chen Shumin gritted his teeth: "No problem!"

"The second condition is that you extend your right hand and I will shoot you."

Chen Shumin was startled: "What?"

Lin Dong curled his lip: "What? You don't want to? You can also let Chen Hainian replace you."

Chen Shumin felt a chill run down his spine. What kind of operation was this?

Could it be...?

Does everyone who joins the Dragon Gang have to get shot?

"You'd better think this through. I won't force you."

Lin Dong flicked his finger.

"call out!"

The cigarette butt flew out and disappeared into the air like a bullet.

"One shot is all it takes, I'll handle it!"

With a heavy heart, Chen Shumin gritted his teeth, extended his right hand, and then closed his eyes.

"Alright!" Lin Dong shouted.

The next second, a pistol appeared in his palm.

"Bang"

The muffled gunshot shattered the tranquility of the corridor.

Smoke rose from the air.

Chen Shumin was jolted violently, staggered by the close-range gunshot, and blood streamed down his right arm.
