One million! The entire hall fell silent.
The atmosphere froze!
"Heh." Mad Dog sneered, his body radiating a murderous aura. "Cao Ming, you have quite the nerve."
He reached out, and his subordinate handed him a cigar. He lit it, took a drag, and let the smoke blur his features. "How could you possibly think that our hundred-plus brothers would be afraid of just six of you?"
The red glow from the club entrance enveloped the mad dog behind him, making his face, already dimly lit, look even more unsightly.
Cao Ming, a cigarette dangling from his lips, asked with a knowing smile, "Including them?"
Who are they?
Mad Dog looked up and saw that on both sides of the street, a dense mass of figures had appeared. Their tall and straight figures, even though their faces were hidden by the streetlights, could not conceal the explosive power beneath their imposing physiques.
Just by standing there, the intimidation he created prevented the mad dog from acting recklessly, even if he didn't want to admit it.
"Brother, those six guys can take down fifty of our brothers. Now there are so many of them, how are we going to fight them?" The shrimp head, who had just been clamoring to teach the other side a lesson, wilted.
If you're not strong enough, it would be foolish not to back down!
Shrimp Head shrank back and stood back after being glared at by Mad Dog.
"What exactly do you want?" The cigar was held between his fingers, but Mad Dog had lost the desire to take a few puffs.
Damn it, if he had known the Yuan family's security was this ruthless, he wouldn't have dared to run into them. He's kicked a hornet's nest; whether he moves forward or backward, there are only pitfalls. But for now, taking a step back is more advantageous for him.
Forget it, consider it a lesson learned. But, "One million is too much, and we can't afford that much. Three hundred thousand is my limit. Consider it compensation for your company's financial loss."
Cao Ming didn't answer immediately. He threw his cigarette on the ground and stomped it out. When he looked up again, there was a long list of details: "Three casinos on the surface, seven underground casinos, four of which were taken from Feng Sanshui; three loan shark companies; three bars and clubs; and recently, he's even invested in businesses under the Southern Gang, the Black Knife Group, and the Jin Nan Gang. Tsk, even more powerful than Boss Jin..."
From the very first sentence, Mad Dog's expression changed, and his hand holding the cigar trembled in the shadows.
The raging waves roared before my eyes!
How did he know all this? And in such detail! Not a single family was missed!!
How did he know?!
all the underlings: ...
Is their boss really that rich? My god, what a powerful backer!
Shen Laosan lowered his head, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
They're really rich! Although they suffered a loss this time, it wasn't without its gains.
"Mr. Cao, what kind of business are you involved in?" All the questions in the book can be summed up in one sentence.
The burning sensation of something stuck in his throat caused the mad dog's face to contort, yet he had no choice but to maintain a smile.
What exactly does this man do?
He knew everything about himself, while he knew nothing about him.
"Which road? Yuan's Security, didn't I tell you? Are you deaf? Can't you understand human language?"
I'm asking you, how did you know?! How did you know about those hidden assets? They're clearly not in his name!!
Of course, he dared not say these words aloud.
"Mr. Cao, let's talk about the compensation in private."
Thus, the two sides shifted their positions, each taking only two people inside, while the others remained in a standoff, guarding the club entrance and the opposite side.
When they entered the private room, only Mad Dog and Cao Ming were there.
The conversation lasted less than half an hour, and the two men walked out amicably, though Mad Dog's expression looked unnatural no matter how you looked at it.
Upon reaching the door, there was another round of insincere pleasantries. Cao Ming glanced at the enigmatic Mad Dog at the door with a smile, then led his men away.
In his pocket was a million-dollar check, still steaming hot. He'd definitely thank Yuan Zhuan when he got back, hehe.
He'll need to ask for more amulets then. He's been eyeing the pill Yuan Zhuan gave Wu Tianqing for a long time. This time, with so much money, enough to keep the company in business for a while, this is a huge achievement! He'll have to exchange it for the pill!
Crazy Dog is such a great boss, he's so generous and magnanimous. Next time we come, he can give us a discount, like a 9.9% off.
On the way back, Cao Ming told everyone to go back and rest, while Qi Ming's team went back to their original posts.
The next evening, everyone who attended received a 100-yuan red envelope, making those who didn't go extremely envious and filled with regret. How could they have slept so soundly and missed the phone call?!
When Feng Sanshui received Chen Que's call, he almost laughed himself to death in the hospital.
That was fucking awesome!!
Serves you right for being so arrogant! Didn't expect that, did you? There are always people more capable than you, and the world is always beyond your control! Evil people will always be punished by other evil people!!
This time, Feng Sanshui was determined. Even if he died, he would die at Yuan Zhuan's hands. He was determined to cling to this powerful figure!
"Brother, we've lost our territory, and you're still laughing." The other side outnumbered them; they were no match for them. Besides, the brothers in the underworld no longer wanted to follow them, saying that their side was becoming more and more righteous, and they were no longer on the same side.
"Venues? What venues? With our new boss, do you think you'll still have the energy to manage those venues?" That guy is no pushover; he won't allow his subordinates to go astray. Now's the perfect opportunity to break away.
"What about Chen Que and the others? What should we do with them?" They still have six brothers under their command. Although they are all useless and just freeloaders, they are loyal and obedient. We can't just abandon them like that, can we?
"Let's keep him alive for now and make arrangements gradually." He hadn't figured out how to demonstrate his value to his new master.
His current situation is that of a useless commander without any troops. Before, he could still use Tenth Street as leverage, but now even Tenth Street is managed by Yuan's security forces. As for himself, he can't even beat Mad Dog. Apart from being able to fight, he and his brother are simply useless.
In terms of fighting ability, does Yuan's security force actually have any fighting capabilities?
No shortage!
After analyzing himself, Feng Sanshui realized that he was indeed worthless.
This is troublesome, very troublesome.
Feng Shanlang seemed to have thought of this as well, and sat dejectedly on the hospital bed, keeping silent.
Yuan's security office.
Upon entering the office, Cao Ming instructed the accountant to go directly to the bank; the check was fine.
The day after the money arrived, Cao Ming asked Wen Xiangying for the keys to the factory to check on the renovation progress.
We've already recruited quite a few ordinary security personnel, and they're just waiting for the second interview. However, once the positions are filled, the staff is large and diverse, so we can't put them all in the office building or the factory. We need to expedite the process, and if necessary, we'll switch to a different renovation team.
Moreover, since he was planning to make a big splash, he figured he couldn't just lease the factory. He wanted to talk to the factory manager to see what price he could get for it. If it was a good deal, he would buy it, since he had enough money on hand.
Cao Ming found the location of the factory. The old iron gate was half-open, so he didn't need the key and just pushed the door open with Qi Ming.
At first glance, all that could be seen was wilderness, overgrown with weeds. Three solitary three-story row buildings sat one after the other in the southern corner. To the north stood a large factory building of more than 2,000 square meters, all of which were dusty and looked no different from dilapidated buildings. Although they were all made of reinforced concrete, not a single patch of the wall was intact.
Cao Ming gritted his teeth and searched floor by floor, but he didn't find a single person, not even a wild rat.
Where are they?
Isn't it under renovation?
If Yuan Zhuan were here right now, he would love to bite her flesh. That unreliable brat!
And so, Cao Mingxing went out excitedly, but returned in a rage less than an hour later.
"Chuanzi, didn't you start a renovation company with someone? Come over here right now, I need some urgent work!"
When Wang Chuanke received the call, he heard Cao Ming's unusually exasperated tone. He stopped eating, grabbed his bag, and, along with the designer, headed towards Yuan's Security.
Yuan Zhuan, of course, had no idea that Cao Ming was nearly driven mad by her; they were currently speeding along one winding road after another.
"This road, my God, it's shaking my old bones so much!" Yuan Sun was almost dizzy as the car bounced up and down on the uneven road. "Ugh, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to throw up again."
Sun Dasheng wasn't much better off. He hadn't vomited yet, but his face was deathly pale, and he was probably close to the point of collapse as well.
The car stopped for the third time. Yuan Zhuan was also annoyed by the slow progress. She took out a bottle of water from her backpack. "You two drink this. It should calm you down." These two disciples were not yet trustworthy. She only brought them along for this mission because they were both Qimen practitioners. Bringing them along would allow them to do something and save her trouble.
Yuan Sun took the water after he finished spitting it out, thinking that Yuan Zhuan was just rinsing his mouth. But as soon as the water entered his mouth, it seemed to have its own consciousness and he swallowed it naturally. The nausea and vomiting in his stomach were instantly suppressed and disappeared without a trace. It was incredibly miraculous.
Yuan Sun paused for a few seconds, as if verifying something, then took a few more sips. He then held the half-empty bottle of water and looked at Yuan Zhuan with surprise, "Little boss, what kind of water is this? This isn't ordinary water!!" There's something in it!
"Let Sun Dasheng have some to drink. Can't you see your grand-disciple is about to throw up?"
"Huh? Oh." Yuan Sun handed the water to Sun Dasheng, who drank it all in one gulp.
"Wow, Grandmaster, this water is amazing."
Yuansun: ...
That idiot, he didn't get a single thing.
"Are you done? If you are, get in the car and let's continue on our way."
The two, apprentice and grandson, exchanged a glance, said nothing more, got into the car, and closed the door in one smooth motion.
Wu Tianqing saw the two of them exchanging glances in the rearview mirror and a smile appeared on his lips.
Anyone with a brain knows it's a good product.
Yuan Sun had always known that Yuan Zhuan's thighs were very thick, but such thickness was somewhat fantastical.
The comfort of the water entering the body is similar to the feeling of spiritual energy entering the body when cultivating in the mountains. All discomfort in the body is relieved after the water is swallowed.
Drink it, and you'll feel energized!
Wait a minute, how come he remembers that Xiao Wu and Xiao Bai drank this water the whole way, while they...
anger!
They experienced workplace discrimination!
The benefits are not commensurate!!
"We want to drink that water too, not regular water!" Yuan Sun couldn't hold back any longer, because the later he spoke, the less he would get to drink.
This is unfair!!
"oh."
Oh? That's it? That's it?
"This isn't fair! We're your employees too!" Yuan Sun exclaimed angrily.
"They earned it with their blood, sweat, and loyalty. What did you earn with yours?"
Yuan and Sun fell silent...
"You two can think it over carefully. Don't rush to answer me. When we get back, give me your choice. Whether you pledge allegiance or not is up to you. I won't force you." Once you've drunk her water, you're her person. Neither of you can betray her; otherwise, the consequences might be unbearable.
"Master, a car is coming from ahead," Wu Tianqing reminded him.
An old minivan was traveling in the opposite direction from the front.
“A new soul is following.” Yuan Sun immediately noticed two seven- or eight-year-old boys sitting on the roof of the car, looking completely bewildered. They were clearly still confused and didn’t know what was happening.
"Arrest the person, perform a soul search. Master Yuansun, you know how, right?" Yuan Zhuan turned his head to look at him, a smile on his lips.
"Alright. Dasheng, come down with me." This girl is vindictive and will always demand a refund for any favor. She's just a half-baked expert, humph.
Soul searching and soul refining are insidious techniques that his lineage knows, but they are only used on malevolent spirits. So far, they have never been used on living people.
However, these bastards can't even be called human, so he didn't say anything.
Wu Tianqing and Bai Jianqiang received Yuan Zhuan's instructions but did not make a move.
As the two disciples got out of the car, people also got out of the car opposite. They were wearing white antibacterial suits that covered them from head to toe, with only their eyes showing.
Although it's already October, the temperature is still quite high. Isn't it hot?
Yuan Zhuan watched as his apprentice and grandson expertly knocked out the people getting off the car.
Yuan Zhuan: A skilled worker!
The driver realized something was wrong and tried to start the car to ram it, but the old man and the young man jumped into the car. The car was moving so fast that it was only a blink of an eye.
Yuan Sun knocked out the driver and passenger in the car with two punches. He then found a modified mini-fridge under the back seat. Upon opening it, he discovered two hearts—the hearts of the two children on the roof of the car.
With a heavy sense of melancholy in his eyes, Yuan Sun put the box containing the heart back in its original place and refreezed it.
Suddenly, a faint chill swept over me from behind.
Two children came in!
He turned around and, sure enough, there were two children sitting in the car, smiling at him.
"What are you standing there for? Quickly get the heart and have them drive the car down the mountain. These two kids can still be saved, hurry!" Yuan Zhuan's urging voice rang out from outside, the words 'can be saved' ringing out loudly.
Carrying the organs back to the car, Yuan Sun and Sun Dasheng were both in a bad mood, and the two children followed them in.
Yuan Zhuan glanced at the two of them, then made a hand seal with one hand, summoning souls!
The person who had fainted on the ground got up, returned to the car, closed the door, and then the driver woke up, started the car, turned the steering wheel, and plunged off the cliff.
The road is open!
Wu Tianqing: ...
Following his master, I always witnessed things that my heart couldn't handle.
"Speed up, we must reach the foot of the mountain within an hour."
"yes."
Yuan Zhuan affixed a talisman to the car body, and the car sped away, startling his apprentice and grandson, who gripped the handle tightly, not daring to let go.
Even though we were driving on the same mountain road, the acceleration made it feel like driving on flat ground.
Yuan Sun: ...This is related to talismans, so why didn't you use them before?
Just as Yuan Zhuan had predicted, the car stopped precisely at the entrance at the foot of Black Yin Mountain an hour later.
