At 7 p.m., just as Wang Qian was about to have dinner with Yang Shenglong and others, a security guard ran over and said that someone had handed him a note, specifically addressing him as Wang Qian.

"It's him again!"

The security guard didn't say his name, but Wang Qian already knew who it was.

He could roughly guess what was written even before he had read the note.

Sure enough, upon opening it, there was only one line of text inside:

Southwest Street, Lane 3

There were no extra words, nor was there a signature.

After reading it, Wang Qian casually put it into the stove to burn, and then strode outside.

"Xiao Qian, do you want me to go with you?"

Yang Shenglong hurriedly caught up.

"Need not!"

Wang Qian waved his hand, "There's no danger, you don't need to come along. You guys eat first, just leave some food for me."

After saying that, Wang Qian went out alone.

...

Southwest Street, Lane 3.

It was already dark, and tall trees grew on both sides of the alley, making the inside of the alley extremely gloomy.

Stepping inside always sends chills down your spine, as if some monstrous creature lurks around you, ready to leap out and tear you apart at any moment.

"Cough, cough..."

After walking deeper into the alley and still not seeing anyone, Wang Qian cleared his throat.

The next moment, a blurry figure leaped down from a nearby tree branch and stopped three meters away from Wang Qian.

With the help of the dim light, he could see clearly.

This is a young man who is slightly short, has an ordinary appearance, but is quite muscular and has incredibly deep eyes.

Just as he had guessed, it was Tao Yu.

"You can't take any money to West Street tomorrow!"

Tao Yu cut to the chase, “I just asked myself, and if you bring money to West Street, you’ll lose both your money and your life. Zuo Xianglong will not take you to the drug hideout.”

"You asked him yourself?" Wang Qian raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I asked myself!"

Tao Yu nodded heavily and said solemnly, "So what you need to do now is to hurry home, take your family to a secluded place to hide, and wait until I complete my mission and wipe out this group before you come out."

Seeing Wang Qian's unmoved expression, he took a few steps forward, grabbed Wang Qian's collar, and scolded him harshly: "There is no room for negotiation this time. I asked Zuo Xianglong myself. Any opportunistic actions of yours will plunge you into an abyss of no return!"

But where can I escape to?

Wang Qian said with a wry smile, "I have no way out now. It's either win or die."

You have it!

Tao Yu earnestly advised, "If all else fails, I can call my superiors and have them arrange accommodation for you and your family, ensuring your safety."

“If I run away, Scarface and Zuo Xianglong will definitely take their anger out on the people around me.”

Wang Qian said, "I don't want them to be implicated because of me."

"But……"

Tao Yu was about to say something when Wang Qian interrupted him, "You don't need to say anything. From the moment I got involved, I knew what I would face, and I could even guess what tricks Scarface and Zuo Xianglong would use."

"So, you know that Zuo Xianglong will go back on his word once he takes the money?" Tao Yu was taken aback.

"good!"

Wang Qian smiled mysteriously, "Not only did I guess it long ago, but I also have a clever way to deal with their 'crossing the river and then burning the bridge' mentality."

"What brilliant idea?" Tao Yu pressed.

Wang Qian didn't hide anything and immediately explained his plan.

After listening, Tao Yu immediately slapped his thigh, "Brilliant, truly brilliant, but..."

He then changed the subject, saying, "If you keep playing like this, what if you push Zuo Xianglong too far and he just kills the hostage?"

"No way!"

Wang Qian shook his head. "Although I haven't had much contact with Zuo Xianglong, I can still see through his mentality to some extent."

He paused, then added, "Besides, you've been undercover by his side for so long, you should know Zuo Xianglong's personality better than I do."

Tao Yu fell silent.

Although he felt that Wang Qian was playing with fire, he had to admit that Wang Qian's plan was quite ingenious.

Given Zuo Xianglong's personality, he certainly wouldn't be so desperate as to resort to extreme measures.

Even if the plan fails, at least survival won't be a problem.

"Alright, I know you're worried about my safety, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. I have nowhere to retreat now. If I don't take them down in one fell swoop, they will always be a threat to me."

At this point, Wang Qian reached out and patted Tao Yu on the shoulder, "As for you, although you haven't been exposed yet, you still need to be extra careful. Don't just focus on completing the mission and put your life and death aside."

"This is my mission, and I am not afraid to sacrifice myself!"

Tao Yu said passionately, "Even if we die tragically, we will still die with honor."

Wang Qian was speechless.

He was actually trying to subtly remind Tao Yu to avoid becoming a martyr like in his previous life.

But since it concerned the secret of his rebirth, he couldn't just say it outright, otherwise there were many things he wouldn't be able to explain.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I'll head back now. As long as you don't give yourself away, I'll try to smooth things over again tomorrow, and there shouldn't be any major problems."

Not wanting to waste words with Wang Qian, Tao Yu glanced around and, seeing no one on either side of the alley, immediately climbed over the wall and quickly disappeared from Wang Qian's sight.

...

the next day.

Wang Qian carried two suitcases, hailed a taxi, and went straight to West Street.

The driver was a little scared when he heard that we were going to West Street.

But after Wang Qian doubled the fare, he finally gritted his teeth and drove Wang Qian there.

But that was only the entrance to West Street; he wouldn't go any further inside.

Left with no other option, Wang Qian got out of the car, picked up two suitcases, and walked inside.

Soon, several thugs recognized him and not only helped him carry his suitcase, but also took him to see Zuo Xianglong.

"Hey, Mr. Wang is pretty punctual!"

Inside the music KTV private room, Zuo Xianglong was still dressed in a black suit, his slicked-back hair neatly combed, looking like a successful person.

But his sinister eyes and mocking smile made him look eerie no matter how you looked at him.

"Businessmen always value their integrity above all else!"

Wang Qian took the briefcase from the two thugs and placed it on the table. "I've brought the money, and please keep your promise!"

"Then open it and take a look!" Zuo Xianglong urged eagerly.

"Can!"

Wang Qian nodded and immediately opened the lid of the suitcase.

The next moment, two boxes full of cash appeared before Zuo Xianglong and his group of henchmen.

"That's a lot of money!"

"I've never seen so much money!"

"If it were all mine, I would never have to worry about anything in this life."

The eyes of his group of underlings turned red.

If Zuo Xianglong hadn't been there, they would have already robbed it.

However, only the group of underlings around him were excited. Zuo Xianglong stepped forward and examined the situation for a moment, but his face darkened. "Wang Qian, do you think I'm a fool?"
