Richman Restaurant.
The restaurant had a total of eight floors. Surrounded by tall buildings, it looked very ordinary.
However, this was only on the surface. Richman Restaurant had been in business for decades and could be considered an old brand.
The restaurant was famous for its service and dishes.
Many people were like Tiger Lei, eating here for many years.
Even though his status had increased, he would still come here often to eat.
"Sir, we have arrived at the Richman Restaurant.”
A taxi stopped near the restaurant and the driver said.
Gao Jin, who was sitting in the back row, took out a note and handed it to the driver. Then, he got out of the car with a backpack.
"There's no need to look for it."
Gao Jin raised his head and sized up the restaurant in front of him. After confirming that it was the right place, he walked in.
At the entrance of the restaurant stood four young women in fiery red cheongsams, showing off their curvaceous figures to every customer.
The four greeters said to Gao Jin.
"Welcome!"
Gao Jin nodded. His gaze did not linger on the receptionist for even a second.
The purpose of his visit this time was very clear. He was looking for Tiger Lei to trade.
The item he was trading was the number four in his hand.
In a short while, Gao Jin arrived in front of a luxurious private room. He didn't knock on the door and directly pushed it open.
In the private room, Tiger Lei was sitting in his seat, enjoying a delicious meal. Gao Qiang stood behind him.
When he heard the door open, Tiger Lei turned his head. He thought it was the restaurant's service staff.
However, when he saw Gao Jin walking in, he frowned.
"Who are you?"
Tiger Lei was unhappy. He hated it when people disturbed his meal.
Gao Jin's expression was cold. He closed the door of the private room first, then walked to the table and pulled a chair to sit down.
Only then did he answer Tiger Lei's question,"
"My name is Gao Jin. I heard that you are the leader of the United English Society. I have a business deal to discuss with you.”
Hearing this, Tiger Lei suddenly laughed. However, it was not a smile, but a cold smile.
Pointing his thick finger at Gao Jin, Tiger Lei said disdainfully,"
"Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can talk business with me. Who do you think you are?”
After saying that, Tiger Lei snapped his fingers and ordered his subordinate Gao Qiang,"
"Qiang, test his ability. If he's a liar, throw him out!”
With Tiger Lei's current status, it would be strange if Gao Jin could get him to cooperate with him with just a word.
Only when Gao Jin proved his ability would Tiger Lei consider the possibility of cooperation.
"Yes, boss!"
After receiving Tiger Lei's order, Gao Qiang moved his wrist and walked towards Gao Jin.
"Stand up, I don't want to take advantage of you.”
However, Gao Jin turned a deaf ear to his words and continued to sit firmly in his chair.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Gao Qiang snorted coldly. He clenched his fist and punched Gao Jin's head.
He did not use his full strength in this punch. He wanted to teach Gao Jin a lesson and let him know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Bang!"
Unexpectedly, Gao Jin raised his hand and blocked this punch.
Gao Qiang immediately knew that he had encountered an expert.
When Tiger Lei saw this scene, he said,
"No wonder you dared to come and find me. So you have some skills. Ah Qiang, attack with all your strength.”
"Yes, Boss." Gao Qiang nodded and punched again.
The private room was small, and fighting was more about the foundation. If the ability was weak, it would definitely cause a big commotion and knock over the tables and chairs.
However, since Gao Qiang was able to be Tiger Lei's trusted aide, he naturally had real skills.
Facing Gao Qiang's full-powered attack, Gao Jin did not continue to sit on the chair.
His body was like a spring as he stood up. As he dodged the attack, Gao Jin attacked.
He grabbed Gao Qiang's arm and pulled in his direction.
Gao Qiang lost his balance. Before he could stand firm, he saw Gao Jin's elbow coming at him.
Bang!
This elbow was full of strength, and it hit Gao Qiang's chest. Gao Qiang's legs went soft, and he fell to the floor.
Gao Jin flicked the non-existent dust off his suit and said lightly,
"Thank you."
Gao Jin didn't look at Gao Qiang when he spoke. It was obvious that he didn't take the latter seriously.
Gao Qiang couldn't express his dissatisfaction. He almost vomited blood from the elbow. He lay on the floor and tried to struggle to stand up, but he couldn't do it.
Gao Jin turned to look at Tiger Lei. His expression remained unchanged, no different from when he first entered the door.
"Tiger Lei, can we talk business now?”
Tiger Lei looked at Gao Qiang, who was still struggling, and put down the cutlery in his hand.
After wiping his hands with a wet towel, Tiger Lei stood up and walked to Gao Jin. He smiled and said,
"Let me introduce myself. I am Tiger Lei, the current leader of the United English Society.”
Gao Jin glanced at him and said,"
"Gao Jin."
Tiger Lei chuckled and asked,"
"What business do you want to discuss?”
After witnessing Gao Jin defeat Gao Qiang so easily, Tiger Lei's attitude towards him took a 180-degree turn.
It could be considered as giving him some attention.
At this moment, Gao Jin opened his backpack and placed it on the table. He said,"
"My brother and I just snatched a batch of goods. See if you're interested in eating them.”
Tiger Lei looked into his backpack."
"Oh? What goods?"
Inside the backpack were a few tightly wrapped rectangular bricks.
Seeing this, Tiger Lei's eyes narrowed slightly. He already had an answer in his heart.
Sure enough, Gao Jin said,"
"Number Four, this is only a small portion. If you are interested, I can trade the rest of the number four to you.”
Tiger Lei rubbed his hands and said,
"Of course I'm interested, but just because you said no, I need to inspect the goods.”
Gao Jin took out a pack of No. 4, weighed it in his hand, and handed it to Tiger Lei."
"Sure."
Tiger Lei didn't take it. He turned to Gao Qiang and said,"
"Qiang, come and inspect the goods."
After this period of time, Gao Qiang had already recovered quite a bit. He struggled to stand up from the floor.
He clutched his chest and looked at Gao Jin indignantly before picking up Number Four.
He pulled out the dagger and cut open the outer packaging, revealing the white contents inside.
Gao Qiang dipped a little with his pinky and sent it into his mouth.
Then, his face twitched and he sniffed a few times.
Tiger Lei asked,"
"How is it?"
Gao Qiang rubbed his nose and said,"
"Boss, the purity is very high."
Hearing this, Tiger Lei couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile. He looked at Gao Jin and said,"
"Brother Gao, where did you get this batch of goods? If it's convenient, tell me your background so that I can eat this batch of goods without worry.”
Gao Jin said coldly,"
"Big Circle."
When he heard these three words, Tiger Lei instantly understood.
In Hong Kong, the Big Circle Gang was synonymous with the word " ruthless ". They would do anything the locals didn't dare to do.
Tiger Lei asked again,
"I wonder how many goods there are in this batch?”
Gao Jin replied,"
"The market value is 15 million. If you take it all, the price is 5 million.”
The market price and the private price were two different things.
Gao Jin's excuse was that this batch of number four was stolen, so they could only be sold at a black market price.
At the same time, if he didn't do this, it would be very difficult for Tiger Lei to take the bait.
This was what Wen Nuoyan had told Gao Jin previously.
Tiger Lei rolled his eyes and quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart. He said,
"Alright, I'll do this deal!"
With his identity, it wouldn't be a problem for him to buy a batch of illegal goods. There were many illegal businesses in Hong Kong, and goods were stolen every day. It would be difficult to trace it back to him.
Moreover, he could earn 10 million yuan by reselling it. Not everyone could remain calm with such a high profit.
Gao Jin nodded and exchanged business cards with Tiger Lei."
"I'll inform you when the transaction will take place."
After he finished speaking, Gao Jin turned around and left the room.
Tiger Lei looked at his back thoughtfully.
Then, he sat back down on the chair and started eating the food in front of him.
After they had eaten their fill, Tiger Lei brought Gao Qiang out of the restaurant and got into the car.
Gao Qiang couldn't help but ask,"
"Boss, we've never seen this guy before. We don't know if he's real or not.”
Hearing Gao Qiang's words, Tiger Lei snorted and said indifferently,"
"What's there to be afraid of? I don't believe that anyone would dare to play tricks on me.
Why don't you ask who I am?"
Tiger Lei was extremely confident. He had been the leader of the United English Society for many years and was used to being arrogant. He had always been the one to mess with others. No one had ever dared to mess with him.
Back then, the nine-striped dragon had been arrogant for a while, but in the end, he had still been sent to prison in Thailand.
He, Tiger Lei, was not a kind man.
He was not worried that someone would dare to play tricks on him.
……
Hong Kong's First Airport.
People were coming and going around the airport.
In the hall, Wen Nuoyan and Ma Jiaohong stood facing each other.
Wen Nuoyan said,
"Olgato is a foreign country after all. Be careful when you go.
We can keep in touch in the future!"
Ma Jiaohong smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry. I travel there every year and know the place very well.”
Wen Nuoyan was relieved.
"That's good."
Ma Jiaohong looked at his face and suddenly opened his arms."
"I'm leaving soon. Can you give me a hug before I leave?”
Wen Nuoyan thought about it and did not refuse.
Wen Nuoyan gently hugged Ma Jiaohong and said,"
"Have a safe journey. Take care."
"Thank you so much!"
...............................................................................
Nine Dragons Nightclub.
In a luxurious office on the fourth floor.
Gao Jin stood in the office, his body as straight as a pine tree. In front of him was Wen Nuoyan, who was wearing a suit.
"Brother Long, according to your instructions, I went to look for Tiger Lei to trade. He has already agreed.”
Hearing this news, Wen Nuoyan patted Gao Jin's shoulder and smiled,"
"Very good, well done. Tiger Lei is greedy and arrogant.
He would definitely eat the meat that was delivered to his mouth.
He has already taken the bait."
Wen Nuoyan continued,
"How about this, contact Tiger Lei and tell him that the deal will be made in three days.
There are some things that should be done!"
"Understood, Brother Long!"
Gao Jin nodded, took out Tiger Lei's name card, and dialed it in front of Wen Nuoyan.
"It's me, Gao Jin."
After Gao Jin said this, he didn't wait for Tiger Lei's response and continued,"
"Three days later, at the Richman Restaurant.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone. He had no intention of continuing the conversation with Tiger Lei.
……
Three days passed quickly.
Wen Nuoyan changed into an inconspicuous car and drove Gao Jin to the vicinity of the Richman Restaurant.
Stopping the car in front of an alley, Wen Nuoyan handed a luggage bag to Gao Jin."
"The goods are all here. Go and complete the transaction with Tiger Lei.”
"Yes, Brother Long."
Gao Jin took the luggage bag and walked out of the car without saying anything. He headed towards the restaurant.
They arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.
Other than the four welcoming ladies in cheongsams, there was also a burly man waiting there.
Gao Jin's gaze fell on the brawny man and recognized him as Tiger Lei's man.
Gao Jin walked straight to the burly man and asked,"
"Take me to Tiger Lei."
The brawny man had obviously received instructions from Tiger Lei beforehand. He sized Gao Jin up a few times, then nodded and said,
"Follow me."
Then, he entered the restaurant.
Gao Jin followed behind the brawny man and came to the door of a luxurious box.
The location of the private room this time was different from three days ago. It was chosen to be the innermost one. The location was hidden and more suitable for trading.
No matter what, he was still the number four worth 15 million. Tiger Lei had to be careful.
Dong dong dong.
The burly man knocked on the door.
"Boss, they're here."
"Come in." Hu Lei's deep voice came from inside.
The burly man pushed open the door and said to Gao Jin,"
"Let's go in."
Gao Jin carried his luggage and walked in.
There were only two people in the room, Tiger Lei and his trusted subordinate, Gao Qiang.
Gao Qiang stood behind Tiger Lei with his hands behind his back.
Tiger Lei was sitting on a chair with cutlery in his hand, focusing on the delicious dishes in front of him.
Seeing Gao Jin, Tiger Lei didn't stop talking. He just raised his chin and said,"
"Brother Gao, please take a seat."
Gao Jin didn't say anything. He pulled out a chair and sat down.
He was very patient and would not urge Tiger Lei to trade quickly.
If that was the case, it would very likely arouse Tiger Lei's suspicion.
Gao Jin couldn't tell whether Tiger Lei was really enjoying the food or just putting on an act.
However, no matter what the reason was, there was nothing wrong with waiting and watching.
Tiger Lei ate for more than ten minutes before he put down the cutlery and wiped his hands and mouth with a wet towel.
He looked at Gao Jin and said with a smile,
"I'm sorry to have kept Brother Gao waiting.”
Gao Jin didn't intend to be polite with him. His face was expressionless as he asked directly,"
"Did you bring the money?"
Tiger Lei snapped his fingers, and Gao Qiang, his trusted aide behind him, immediately carried a suitcase and placed it on the table.
With a click, the suitcase opened, and there were stacks of cash neatly piled inside.
Tiger Lei's big hand counted the money and said,"
"Five million in cash, not a single cent less. Where's the goods I want? I want to see the goods first!"
Hearing this, Gao Jin picked up the luggage bag, unzipped it, and poured the tightly wrapped number four on the floor. He said,
"It's all here."
Seeing so many number four, a greedy look appeared in Tiger Lei's eyes.
He gave Gao Qiang a look, and the latter understood. He immediately crouched down and stabbed one of the four bags with a dagger to start inspecting the goods.
Tiger Lei said to Gao Jin,
"Brother Gao, don't mind it. After all, this is our first time working together.”
Gao Jin nodded and did not refute.
However, he did not idle around. He took out a stack of banknotes from his suitcase and quickly counted them.
Seeing this, Tiger Lei chuckled and said,"
"You pay, I'll inspect the goods, and we'll confirm it in person. Once we leave this door, we won't be responsible if there's any more problems.”
Ten minutes later.
Gao Jin and Gao Qiang had both completed the inspection.
It was impossible to check everything in such a short time. The two of them chose to do random checks.
Gao Qiang stood up and whispered into Tiger Lei's ear,"
"Boss, there's no problem with the goods."
Tiger Lei nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Gao Jin and asked,"
"Brother Gao, there's no problem with your goods. If you finish counting the money, we'll end the deal?”
Gao Jin grunted and closed the suitcase.
Tiger Lei stretched out his fat palm and smiled."
"Happy cooperation. If you have such good goods in the future, remember to contact me. Don't let outsiders benefit.”
Gao Jin stretched out his hand and shook hands with Tiger Lei. He said lightly,"
"Happy cooperation."
With that, Gao Jin carried his suitcase and walked out of the private room.
After leaving the restaurant, Gao Jin turned around and saw that no one was following him. He quickly walked to a small alley not far away, opened the car door, and got in.
Wen Nuoyan asked,"
"The transaction is complete?"
Gao Jin patted his suitcase and said,"
"It's done. The five million yuan is all here.”
Wen Nuoyan chuckled,"
"Very good, well done."
……
In the private room.
"Pack these goods again. Don't scatter them everywhere.”
Tiger Lei instructed Gao Qiang to wrap up the number four again and put it in the luggage bag.
After Gao Qiang was done, his face was filled with excitement as he said,
"Boss, we're in luck this time. We can make a net profit of 10 million from selling 15 million worth of good goods!”
Tiger Lei was also in a good mood. He smiled and said,
"Earning money is secondary. If we get in touch with that guy, there will be more business in the future.”
After two conversations, Tiger Lei was certain that Gao Jin was a big boss.
Gao Jin's performance was also in line with the image of a big circle boy who only cared about money and not his life.
Gao Qiang nodded in agreement.
"But why not recruit him? I think he's very skilled and a talent.”
Tiger Lei shook his head and said,
"There's no hurry for the time being. Remember, the bigger the circle, the more arrogant he is. It's not too late to extend an olive branch when he's in trouble.”
"Boss is really thoughtful." Gao Qiang agreed.
Tiger Lei waved his hand.
"Alright, we're done eating and we've got the goods. Let's go back.”
With that, Tiger Lei led Gao Qiang and the brawny man out of the room.
The three of them left the restaurant and got into the Crown sedan parked at the entrance.
The Crown was driving on the road and did not notice that an inconspicuous car was quietly following behind them.
The ones following them were none other than Wen Nuoyan and Gao Jin.
Wen Nuoyan first let Gao Jin take the number four to fish for Tiger Lei. He had gone through so much for this moment.
"The fish has taken the bait. It's time to reel in the net.”
Wen Nuoyan had a smile on his face as he drove with one hand and took out his phone with the other. He called the police.
"Hello, is this the police? I'm a warmhearted citizen, Mr. Liu. I'd like to report a transaction involving a number four…"
" They have completed the transaction and are now driving away. The license plate number is…"
"Hurry up and send someone over to intercept them in front of Long Hua Avenue.”
After hanging up the phone, Wen Nuoyan slowed down the car.
The Hong Kong police were on their way. He only needed to stay far away. If he got too close, he might get himself involved.
Half an hour later.
A group of police cars suddenly appeared on the road and quickly approached the Crown car where Tiger Lei was.
There were people on both sides of the road, blocking the Crown and forcing it to stop.
A large number of police officers got out of the car and surrounded Tiger Lei and the other two.
"Don't move, police!"
Facing these people, there was no trace of panic on Tiger Lei's face. He leaned against the car and said calmly,
"Sir, I'm a law-abiding citizen. Are you mistaken?”
Senior Inspector Chen Guozhong walked in front of Tiger Lei, showed his ID and said,"
"I've just received a report that you're suspected of being involved in the transaction of the number four.”
Upon hearing this, Tiger Lei's face instantly darkened.
Even a fool would understand what the problem was.
Tiger Lei was furious in his heart, Damn Gao Jin, you dare to trick me!”
At this moment, a police officer had already opened the trunk and found the fourth man.
"Sir Chen, I found it!"
Chen Guozhong took the luggage and weighed it in his hand. He said coldly,
"The evidence is irrefutable. Tiger Lei, what do you say now?”
Tiger Lei's expression was ugly. He gritted his teeth and said,"
"It's none of my business! I don't know why this thing exists. I just asked someone to send me on my way. It has nothing to do with me!”
There was a reason why Tiger Lei had been in Hong Kong for so many years.
Although the police had found the fourth son, it could be considered that he was caught red-handed.
However, Tiger Lei had never touched these no. 4 guys from head to toe. His fingerprints were not on them.
According to the laws of Hong Kong, as long as Gao Qiang kept his mouth shut and took responsibility for the matter, he would most likely be acquitted if he hired a good lawyer.
In Hong Kong, they would only be sent to prison if they were caught in the middle of a transaction.
Chen Guozhong didn't react to Tiger Lei's words. He waved his hand and said,"
"Take them back to the police station!"
Tiger Lei did not resist and obediently got into the police car.
She was not flustered at all about going to the police station. She was more angry at Gao Jin and wanted to tear him apart.
He didn't expect that someone would really dare to trick him.
...........................................
..................................
Inside the car.
Seeing Tiger Lei and the other two being taken into the police car, Wen Nuoyan's lips curled up, and he was in a good mood.
In this world, there was nothing more satisfying than seeing his enemy suffer.
"Tiger Lei, that old thing, this time is enough to make him suffer.”
Gao Jin opened the suitcase, and the stacks of cash inside were displayed in front of Wen Nuoyan.
He said,
"Brother Long, the five million is here.”
Wen Nuoyan's gaze swept across the colorful banknotes, and he casually picked up a stack and patted it in his palm.
Even though he was rich now, he felt better with this five million.
After all, he had gotten it from Tiger Lei. The joy that it brought Wen Nuoyan was not as simple as five million.
Wen Nuoyan had earned a lot from this transaction.
The number four in the transaction was not bought by him, but snatched from Volcano.
It was a transaction without capital.
He sold it to Tiger Lei and earned five million. Now, he reported it to the police, causing Tiger Lei to lose both money and goods.
"If Tiger Lei knew that it was a trap that I set up from the beginning to the end, he would probably have a heart attack.”
As Wen Nuoyan thought about it, the expression on his face became even happier.
He drove off the road and returned to the vicinity of Nine Dragon Street.
Arriving at the entrance of the Songshan Hotel, Wen Nuoyan stopped the car and said to Gao Jin,"
"Gao Jin, you should get off the car first. Continue to hide for this period of time.”
Gao Jin did not hesitate and immediately nodded.
"Yes, Brother Long, I understand. Just tell me if there's anything!”
Wen Nuoyan smiled and patted his shoulder.
"I've wronged you, but it won't be long. After you're done, you can follow me on the surface.”
Gao Jin was such a capable person, but he could only do things in secret. It was undoubtedly a grievance.
Hearing Wen Nuoyan's words, Gao Jin shook his head and said seriously,"
"Brother Long, you don't have to say this. I'm willing to work for Brother Long. It's the same to me whether it's in the dark or in the open.”
Wen Nuoyan nodded slightly and said,
"It's good that you think so. Go up. It won't be good if others see you with me.”
Gao Jin replied,"
"Yes, sir!"
Then, he looked left and right. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he strode into the Songshan Hotel.
Wen Nuoyan watched Gao Jin's figure disappear at the entrance of the hotel. He put the wad of cash in his hand into the suitcase and closed the lid.
With a thought, he put the suitcase into the system space.
Wen Nuoyan stepped on the accelerator and drove toward Jiulong Street.
Songshan Hotel was not far from Jiulong Street.
Two minutes later.
Wen Nuoyan came to the corner of Jiulong Street and stopped at the entrance of Jiulong Nightclub.
There was a parking space in the best location here, which was reserved for him. No matter how crowded the other places were, they would be empty.
After parking the car, Wen Nuoyan opened the door and got out.
At this moment, the system's mechanical notification sounded in his mind.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the random mission issued by the system: Deal with Tiger Lei once."
" Reward for completing the mission: Lightness Skill Eight Trigrams Step Proficiency, Alloy Dagger.”
Wen Nuoyan's mood improved when he saw the system notification that the mission was completed.
This was killing two birds with one stone. Since Tiger Lei had suffered a setback, he had gotten another five million and could even get the system reward.
And most importantly, the time wasted after Tiger Lei was brought to the police station.
Even if Tiger Lei did not touch the fourth young man, Gao Qiang was willing to bear all the charges, but the police were not to be trifled with.
Since they had brought Tiger Lei back to the police station, they naturally had to make use of this to make a fuss, even if they could not get Tiger Lei to go to jail in the end.
It would take a lot of time.
This gave Wen Nuoyan what he wanted.
Hu Lei was the leader of the United English Society. Now that he had gone to the police station, there would definitely be some chaos in the United English Society.
Wen Nuoyan could use this opportunity to stir up trouble and even swallow up the United English Society.
This was also the fundamental purpose of sending Tiger Lei to the police station this time.
Wen Nuoyan sat back in the car.
After the system's voice fell, Wen Nuoyan immediately felt an electric current spread from his mind to his limbs and bones.
This kind of feeling was numb and not painful. It even felt a little carefree, making his body warm and comfortable.
Along with these electric currents, a lot of information appeared in Wen Nuoyan's mind, all of which were related to the Eight Trigrams Steps.
This feeling lasted for more than ten minutes. Wen Nuoyan looked at his body. Although there was no difference in appearance, from this moment on, he had already mastered the Eight Trigrams Steps and was in the proficient realm.
It would have taken him more than ten years of hard work, but in just ten minutes, he had turned Wen Nuoyan from a layman to a master of Qinggong.
Before this, he already had Master Level Fighting Techniques, Mastery Iron Skin, and Godly Spear Arts. They corresponded to his close combat ability, body defense, and firearm mastery.
Now, with the Eight Trigrams Steps, his speed had also been strengthened. He was no longer a shortcoming.
Wen Nuoyan got out of the car and jumped on the spot. He felt as light as a swallow, as if the influence of gravity had decreased a lot, just like in a low-gravity environment.
But of course, this was just an illusion. The Eight Trigrams Steps would not have affected him to such an exaggerated extent.
Wen Nuoyan had just mastered qinggong, so he needed time to adapt to the changes in his body.
Wen Nuoyan felt it for a while and did not continue moving.
After all, he was at the entrance of the Nine Dragons Nightclub. People were coming and going. He did not want to expose his ability in public.
Wen Nuoyan walked towards the nightclub.
There were two men in black suits standing at the door. They had a buzz cut and wore sunglasses.
These two men were tall and sturdy. They were specially selected to guard the entrance. They wore black sunglasses and looked like two door gods.
Seeing Wen Nuoyan walk over, the two of them hurriedly bowed and shouted,
"Brother Long, you're back!"
Wen Nuoyan nodded and entered the nightclub without saying anything.
When they arrived at the lobby, the receptionist behind the front desk saw Wen Nuoyan and immediately revealed a sweet smile.
"Brother Long!"
Logically speaking, she should address Wen Nuoyan as Chairman or Boss, but the staff in the Nine Dragons Nightclub preferred to call him " Brother Long."
Wen Nuoyan nodded at her with a smile.
This made the receptionist overjoyed, and her heart beat rapidly. She was already imagining in her mind whether she had attracted Wen Nuoyan's attention.
However, Wen Nuoyan didn't strike up a conversation with her. Instead, she saw the latter walk straight to the stairs, and she couldn't help but feel deflated.
Wen Nuoyan came to the stairs, but he didn't choose to go up. Instead, he went to the basement.
In addition to the four floors above ground, there was also a huge basement below.
They arrived at the basement.
It was spacious and brightly lit. The huge incandescent lamps on the ceiling made the place look no different from the outside.
The basement had been modified and was originally used to store sundries as a warehouse.
After Wen Nuoyan took over, he transformed the place into a huge gym, which was filled with all kinds of professional fitness equipment.
Treadmills, eliptical machines, rowing machines, spinning bikes, exercise bikes, Smith frames, large gantries, and other fitness equipment were all available. It was more complete than many small gyms.
Wen Nuoyan had specially created this place to give his underlings a place to vent their energy.
After all, those short mules were all around twenty years old and full of energy. If they were not given something to do, accidents would happen every day.
Although it was just a small fight, it was still troublesome.
It was different with a gym. Spending a lot of energy on it would reduce the thought of causing trouble.
Moreover, it could also train his body and strengthen his physical fitness. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
At this moment, there were many underlings in the gym who were working hard on various equipment. The entire basement was filled with the smell of sweat.
Wen Nuoyan walked into the gym.
A few lackeys near the door heard footsteps and turned around. They immediately shouted,
"Brother Long!"
Hearing the shout, the rest of the underlings also stopped working out and greeted Wen Nuoyan respectfully. For a moment, the sound echoed in the gym.
Wen Nuoyan waved his hand and said,
"You guys continue practicing."
The underlings shouted at the same time,
"Yes, Brother Long!"
After that, they worked even harder than before. Those who ran increased their speed by two levels, while those who lifted weights adjusted their weights and lifted them up.
Everyone wanted to show off in front of Wen Nuoyan.
Seeing this scene, Wen Nuoyan couldn't help but nod.
Then, he walked into a separate room.
The fitness area outside was prepared for his underlings.
This room was dedicated to him. There were all kinds of fitness equipment in it. Although it was not as complete as the outside, it was personally selected by Wen Nuoyan and was more suitable for his body.
After all, with his physical fitness, many fitness equipment were actually useless.
After entering the room, Wen Nuoyan closed the door.
Then, he closed his eyes and quietly experienced the Eight Trigrams Steps.
Two seconds later.
Wen Nuoyan suddenly moved. He moved quickly in the room, nimbly shuttling between the fitness equipment, like a hummingbird flying through the flowers.
The room wasn't big, and with so much fitness equipment piled up inside, it looked very crowded.
However, with the support of the Eight Trigrams Steps, Wen Nuoyan was extremely agile. Even though his speed was getting faster and faster, he still did not touch the fitness equipment.
He ran a few rounds around the room before stopping.
Wen Nuoyan recalled the process and nodded slightly.
He was very satisfied with the performance of the Eight Trigrams Steps.
"In the future, even if we are surrounded by a crowd, it will not be a problem.”
With Wen Nuoyan's current physical fitness and ability, even if he was surrounded, it would be easy for him to break out.
After experimenting with the Eight Trigrams Steps, he opened the system space. There was a dagger lying quietly inside. It was the alloy dagger that he had received as a reward for the mission.
With a thought, Wen Nuoyan took out the dagger from the System Space.
The alloy dagger had a simple design and was not as flashy. The blade was straight and about 30 centimeters long.
Although it was called a dagger, it was actually more like a short knife.
The handle was wrapped in black shark skin, which was very comfortable to hold. Moreover, the shark skin would absorb sweat and blood, so there was no need to worry about slipping and losing the weapon in battle.
The blade was straight, with two deep blood grooves on it. This was to kill the target more effectively.
If there was no blood groove, the blade would stick tightly to the muscles after piercing the human body. Under the effect of pressure, it would be as if it was being sucked.
For those with little strength, it would be very difficult to pull it out.
This was also the reason why many times, after stabbing someone, one needed to turn the knife. It was to get rid of the muscle attachment and make it easier to pull the knife out.
Of course, rotating the knife also had the effect of enlarging the wound.
Other than the two blood grooves, there was a small sawtooth at the tip of the blade, which looked extremely ferocious.
Wen Nuoyan's gaze fell on the alloy dagger, sizing it up.
Although the design was very simple, be it the length, weight, or the feel of the hand, it was very suitable for him.
Wen Nuoyan liked it more and more.
Then, he picked up a dumbbell made of pure metal from the ground. He held a dagger in one hand and cut the dumbbell.
Originally, Wen Nuoyan only wanted to test the sharpness of the dagger to see if it could leave a mark on the dumbbell.
However, he did not expect that he would cut the dumbbell in half with just a little force.
Clang.
One end of the dumbbell fell to the ground.
Wen Nuoyan looked at the smooth surface of the knife and then at the dagger in his hand, deep in thought.
The alloy dagger. It seemed that the so-called alloy was definitely not an ordinary alloy. Otherwise, it would not have such a terrifying cutting ability.
He didn't even use much strength. He didn't feel any resistance when cutting the dumbbell. It was as if he was cutting tofu.
Wen Nuoyan held the dagger and cut the other half of the dumbbell again.
Just like the knife noodles, the dumbbell was cut into small pieces.
The entire process was extremely smooth, without any obstruction.
"If this dagger was in ancient times, it would definitely be a divine weapon that could cut through iron like mud.”
Wen Nuoyan finished cutting the dumbbell and threw the alloy dagger to the ground.
Then, he heard a snicker.
The dagger stabbed deeply into the floor, and the entire body of the dagger was buried in it.
"Very good."
Wen Nuoyan nodded in satisfaction, picked up the dagger, and stored it in the system space.
It was a little dangerous to wear this thing on his body. If he was not careful, he would poke a hole in himself and it would break. It was best to keep it in the System Space.
Wen Nuoyan thought about it for a moment. If he were to fight with the enemy, regardless of whether the latter used a shield or a weapon to block, with this alloy dagger, he would be able to cut both the weapon and the person.
Presumably, the scene at that time would be very exciting.
……
On the other side.
The place where the old man was sent.
This was a place specially used to detain suspects who lacked conclusive evidence and had not been sentenced.
It was similar to the detention center. There were small rooms with iron fences. There was only a cement table dozens of centimeters wide inside, which was used as a stool and bed.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Tiger Lei was locked in one of the rooms.
Tiger Lei was still wearing the same suit he wore when he came in. He didn't need to change into special clothes at the police station.
Tiger Lei's expression was very ugly. He thought that after entering the police station, Gao Qiang would take all the blame on him and he would be able to swagger out.
Unexpectedly, Chen Guozhong did not intend to let him off easily. After a simple interrogation, he threw him into the police station.
Tiger Lei was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed inside,
"Damn it, how dare you set me up! When I get out, I'll definitely kill you!”
Tiger Lei wasn't scolding Chen Guozhong, but Gao Jin, who had traded with him.
As soon as the two of them finished the transaction, he was stopped by the police. He could not escape the connection with Gao Jin.
Tiger Lei was furious. He had been in Hong Kong for so many years, especially after he became the head of the United English Society. It had been a long time since he had suffered a loss.
This was the first time he had been tricked in all these years.
Tiger Lei, who was used to being arrogant, almost went crazy from anger.
At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded from outside.
Then, a figure walked over. It was none other than Uncle Biao, the White Paper Fan of the United English Society.
Uncle Biao was dressed in a white suit. His hair was neatly combed, and he looked like a businessman.
He walked to the front of the room and looked at Tiger Lei through the iron fence.
Tiger Lei was the first to ask,
"How's the situation? When can I leave this godforsaken place?”
Uncle Biao shook his head and said,
"I'm not sure yet. Chen Guozhong seems to be determined to mess with you. I wanted to talk to him about the conditions just now, but I was rejected before I could say anything.”
Upon hearing this, Tiger Lei slapped the iron fence and scolded,"
"F * ck! Damn Chen Guozhong, damn Gao Jin, all of them are making things difficult for me!”
Uncle Biao asked,"
"What exactly is going on?”
Tiger Lei panted a few times and told Uncle Biao what had happened.
Uncle Biao frowned and said,"
"It seems like this transaction was a trap from the beginning.”
Tiger Lei said,
"I know, but I just don't understand. Who is behind this?”
Of course, he did not think that the whole thing was Gao Jin's idea. Usually, such people were just chess pieces pushed to the front of the stage.
Uncle Biao thought for a moment and said,
"We can talk about this later. The most important thing now is to get you out.”
Tiger Lei nodded.
"Go hire the best lawyer and defend me as soon as possible.”
"Alright, I'll go and invite him now."
After Uncle Biao and Tiger Lei finished speaking, they left the police station.
……
In the afternoon.
Uncle Biao returned and came to the police station again.
After finding Tiger Lei, Uncle Biao said,
"I've found a lawyer, but it's a little troublesome this time.”
Tiger Lei frowned and asked,"
"What did the lawyer say?"
Uncle Biao replied,"
"The lawyer said that the situation this time is more complicated. First, there are too many number four people involved. Second, Chen Guozhong is adamant. Even if Gao Qiang confessed, he still thinks you are a suspect.”
Upon hearing this, Tiger Lei was instantly enraged."
"Damn it, when can I go out?”
Uncle Biao shook his head and said,
"According to the lawyer's speculation, the lawsuit will take some time, at least a few months.”
Tiger Lei's expression was extremely ugly as he cursed.
After venting his anger, he knew that it was useless to curse at everything that had happened.
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
Tiger Lei said to Uncle Biao,
"Since I can't go out for a while, I'll leave the United English Society to you. When I'm not around, you'll be in charge of it temporarily.”
Uncle Biao nodded.
"Don't worry. With me around, the club won't have any problems.”
....................................................................................
Nine Dragons Nightclub.
Fourth floor, Wen Nuoyan's office.
Dong dong dong.
There was a knock on the door and Ming Wang's voice sounded,"
"Brother Long, it's me."
Wen Nuoyan sat behind his desk and flipped through a newspaper in his hand. He said,
"Come in."
Ming Wang pushed open the door and walked in.
Wen Nuoyan looked up at him and asked,"
"What's wrong?"
As he spoke, Wen Nuoyan put down the newspaper and took out a cigarette box. He took out a cigarette and was about to light it between his fingers.
Seeing this, Ming Wang hurriedly said,"
"Brother Long, wait, don't draw yet!”
Wen Nuoyan stopped lighting his cigarette and asked curiously,"
"What happened?"
Ming Wang chuckled and walked to the desk. He put down the gift box in his hand and said,
"Brother Long, this is a cigar I just got. It's definitely top-grade.”
"A cigar?" Hearing this, Wen Nuoyan's interest was piqued.
He put down the cigarette and opened the gift box.
There were cigars as thick as a finger neatly placed inside.
The cigar was dark brown in color, and the lines on it were extremely neat.
Wen Nuoyan took one out and sniffed it. He smelled a faint tobacco smell.
Unlike ordinary cigarettes, this smell was very unique.
Ming Wang took out a cigar cutter and helped Wen Nuoyan cut off one end of the cigar.
"Brother Long, try it. This is much stronger than cigarettes.”
Wen Nuoyan thought for a moment, then picked up the cigar with two fingers and put it in his mouth.
Ming Wang immediately picked up the cigar spray gun and lit it up for Wen Nuoyan.
Due to the manufacturing process, cigars were rich in oil in addition to tobacco leaves. Therefore, it would take a long time to light them with an ordinary lighter.
The cigar was quickly lit up by the spray gun.
Wen Nuoyan took a puff.
It was a little difficult to inhale at first, but after the first puff, the air inside the cigar flowed much smoother.
The feeling it brought was also different from ordinary cigarettes. Just as Ming Wang said, the strength was indeed much greater than cigarettes.
Ming Wang asked,"
"Brother Long, how is it? Are you used to smoking?”
Wen Nuoyan nodded and said,
"Not bad, you're thoughtful."
After receiving Wen Nuoyan's praise, Ming Wang scratched his head and chuckled,"
"As long as Brother Long likes it."
Dong dong dong.
At this moment, someone knocked on the office door again.
"Brother Long, it's me." Long Hair's voice came from outside.
Wen Nuoyan raised his hand at Ming Wang, indicating for him to open the door.
Ming Wang quickly walked to the door and left.
The long-haired man was a little surprised to see that it was him who opened the door.
"Why are you here?"
Ming Wang said,"
"I just got a box of high-quality cuban cigars and sent it to Brother Long.”
The long-haired man looked into the office and saw Wen Nuoyan smoking behind the desk.
Long Hair turned around and walked into the office.
Wen Nuoyan exhaled a large cloud of smoke and asked,"
"Changfa, have you investigated the situation?”
Previously, after Tiger Lei was captured, Wen Nuoyan did not just wait and sent out Changfa to gather information.
Long Hair nodded and said,"
"Brother Long, I've asked around. Chen Guozhong from the police station was determined to deal with Tiger Lei. The latter was entangled in a lawsuit and would not be able to come out for at least a few months.”
Hearing this news, Wen Nuoyan laughed and said,"
"Alright, this time, let Tiger Lei calm down inside and let him experience my experience.”
Thinking back to the past six years, the experience of being imprisoned in Thailand, Wen Nuoyan hated Tiger Lei to the bone.
The few months that Tiger Lei had been under the care of the police officer was just interest.
As Wen Nuoyan spoke, he took out a cigar from the gift box and handed it to Long Hair.
"Try it. It's better than ordinary cigarettes.”
Long Hair didn't refuse. He took it, cut off one end of the cigar, and smoked happily.
Seeing this scene, Ming Wang did not want to fall behind and also started to draw.
The three people in the office puffed out smoke, and soon the room was filled with smoke.
The cigar itself contained oil, and the smoke after burning was much larger than that of a cigarette. Three cigars were burning at the same time.
Wen Nuoyan waved his hand and said to Ming Wang,"
"Open the window. Otherwise, the smoke alarm will be triggered in a while.”
Ming Wang nodded. He looked at the smoke in the room and felt that it made sense.
The window was opened, and the smoke dispersed.
At this moment, the system's mechanical notification sounded in Wen Nuoyan's mind.
"The system has issued a random mission: Take advantage of Tiger Lei's departure from the United Hero Society to start the purge of the society and eliminate Volcano.”
" Reward for completing the mission: 100 million yuan in financial support and arrogant loyalty.”
Wen Nuoyan laughed in his heart when he saw the mission requirements.
Originally, after Volcano was hospitalized by Ming Wang, he had planned to let Volcano linger on for a while before killing it in the future.
However, he did not expect the mission to come so quickly.
Wen Nuoyan thought to himself,"If that's the case, then I won't wait. I'll kill you as soon as possible."”
Slaughtering Volcano was killing many birds with one stone, and it was extremely cost-effective.
Ever since Wen Nuoyan returned to Hong Kong, Volcano had been stirring up all sorts of trouble, and Wen Nuoyan was already unhappy with him.
Back when Volcano had just joined the club, he had relied entirely on Wen Nuoyan to protect him. Otherwise, he would have been hacked to death on the streets and wouldn't have the glory he had today. He even became the hall master.
Killing Volcano would not only make Wen Nuoyan feel better, but he would also receive a hundred million yuan as a reward and would be able to control his subordinates.
With his arrogant loyalty, it would be easy for him to annex Volcano's territory.
Although the ability to be arrogant was average, the loyalty rewarded by the system could also be used.
Even if he couldn't do anything, he could use it to take the blame at a critical moment.
……
At night.
Wen Nuoyan left the Nine Dragons Nightclub and walked to Nine Dragons Street under the respectful greetings of the underlings at the door.
He didn't drive. He blended into the crowd and walked toward the Songshan Hotel.
The Songshan Hotel was not far from Jiulong Street. In less than ten minutes, Wen Nuoyan arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
He raised his head and sized up the Songshan Hotel.
It was a three-story building on the side of the street. From the mottled walls, one could tell that the building had been built for quite some time.
The signboard of the Songshan Hotel hung on the wall, but it didn't look very obvious.
Wen Nuoyan walked in.
As soon as he entered, he saw the front desk next to him. Behind him sat a receptionist. Behind her was a sales wall with cigarettes, alcohol, and various snacks and drinks on it.
Although she was called a receptionist, she was actually not young. It was more appropriate to call her auntie.
The woman was about forty years old. She was dressed casually and did not have any makeup on her face. Her hair was tied up behind her head with a rubber band.
In general, she was a middle-aged woman that could be seen everywhere in Hong Kong.
When she saw Wen Nuoyan come in, she did not have any expression on her face, let alone a smile. She said directly,
"Hourly rooms cost 10 yuan per hour and single rooms cost 100 yuan.”
Wen Nuoyan waved his hand and said,
"I'm here to look for someone."
Hearing this, the woman immediately lost her last bit of interest and lowered her head to read the magazine.
"Find someone to go up yourself."
Wen Nuoyan walked towards the stairs.
He didn't care about the woman's attitude. This was the norm in most small hotels. It was impossible to expect these people to provide warm service.
Arriving at the third floor, Wen Nuoyan stopped in front of Room 301 and knocked on the door.
The room was very quiet. There was no sound coming from it, as if no one was there.
But Wen Nuoyan knew that this was because Gao Jin was cautious.
He said,
"Gao Jin, it's me."
This time, there were footsteps inside. The door opened and Gao Jin appeared in a white shirt.
"Brother Long, why are you here?"
Gao Jin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Wen Nuoyan to come here personally to find him.
"If there's anything you need me to do, just give me a call.”
Wen Nuoyan entered the room and looked around.
The room was simply furnished. Other than a single bed, there was only a television and a set of tables and chairs.
The room was neat and tidy, and the blankets and clothes were neatly placed in the right places.
From this point, it could be seen that Gao Jin was an extremely self-disciplined person.
Many people could do this in their own homes, but when they were outside and in a hotel, they would not deliberately do so.
Wen Nuoyan sat down on a chair and casually said,"
"Nothing much. I just wanted to come out for a walk.”
Gao Jin didn't say anything. He picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for Wen Nuoyan.
"Brother Long, drink some water."
Wen Nuoyan took a sip of water and asked,"
"How have you been living here these few days?”
Gao Jin replied,"
"Not bad. Watching TV every day can kill time.”
Wen Nuoyan smiled,"
"It's been hard on you, but you still have to endure for a while.”
Wen Nuoyan also knew that it was a grievance to let a person like Gao Jin stay in a small hotel all day.
As he spoke, he reached out to his waist and pretended to be that thing.
In fact, he had taken out the alloy dagger from the system space.
Wen Nuoyan placed the dagger on the table and said to Gao Jin,"
"There's nothing to reward you with. I just happened to get this dagger recently, so I'll give it to you.”
Gao Jin looked at the dagger and nodded."
"Thank you, Brother Long."
The alloy dagger did not look impressive. One would not be able to guess the horror of its ability to cut through iron like mud just by looking at its appearance, so Gao Jin did not show any other emotions.
Seeing this, Wen Nuoyan chuckled and pushed the dagger in front of Gao Jin.
"This dagger isn't an ordinary one. Try it first.”
Gao Jin heard this and was a little confused, but he still picked up the alloy dagger.
The dagger was stuck in the scabbard made of shark skin, and Gao Jin pulled it out.
Looking at the shape of the dagger, Gao Jin casually fiddled with it, then aimed at the corner of the table and cut it.
In the next moment.
Gao Jin's calm expression suddenly changed.
He didn't even use much strength, and the dagger cut off the corner of the table completely.
Gao Jin looked at the alloy dagger in his hand and was stunned for a moment.
He had never expected that such an ordinary-looking dagger would be so sharp.
Although the table was made of wood, it was not easy to cut off the corner of the table. At the very least, it would not be so easy for an ordinary dagger.
He didn't even feel any obstruction.
Gao Jin looked at the corner of the table. The cut surface was very smooth, without any excess wood chips, as if it was natural.
Wen Nuoyan smiled and said,
"Try something else. This dagger is not as simple as cutting wood.”
Hearing this, Gao Jin became interested.
He reached to his waist and pulled out the dagger he carried with him.
Then, without hesitation, he used the alloy dagger to cut the blade.
Creak.
The sound of metal being cut rang out.
Gao Jin felt as if he was cutting butter with a hot knife. He quickly cut the original dagger, and the cut was still smooth.
Gao Jin held the alloy dagger in front of his eyes and looked at the blade carefully. He found that there was no wear and tear on it at all. He clicked his tongue and said,
"Brother Long, where did you get this dagger? This is the first time I've seen such a sharp dagger.”
Gao Jin had a very deep understanding of knives. He had used hundreds of knives, but compared to this alloy dagger, the so-called good knives were all trash.
Wen Nuoyan said,
"I only obtained this dagger by chance.”
Gao Jin froze and asked,"
"Brother Long, you only have this one?"
Wen Nuoyan nodded.
Seeing this, Gao Jin immediately put down the dagger and said,"
"Such a good dagger, Brother Long, you should use it yourself.”
Wen Nuoyan smiled and said,
"You need him more than I do. Good steel should be used on the blade. With it, it will be easier for you to do things in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Gao Jin did not refuse. He accepted the dagger and said solemnly,"
"Thank you, Brother Long!"
Gao Jin didn't say much, but his attitude showed everything.
Wen Nuoyan nodded in satisfaction. He patted Gao Jin's shoulder and said,"
"Alright, I'll go back first. Next, you continue to be an assassin lurking in the dark.
If there's anything, I'll come and find you."
"Yes, Brother Long!" Gao Jin watched Wen Nuoyan leave the room.
……
The next day.
Wen Nuoyan gathered Ming Wang and Chang Fa in his office.
He pointed at the pile of cash on the table and said,
"Here's eight million. You two take it.”
Ming Wang and Chang Fa looked at the banknotes on the table and asked,"
"Brother Long, what are you going to do with so much money?”
Wen Nuoyan puffed out a large cloud of smoke from his cigar and said,
"Tiger Lei is in the police station and won't be able to come out for a few months. This is a good opportunity, we need to grab it.
Use this money to recruit soldiers and horses. You must expand your manpower in the shortest time possible.”
Wen Nuoyan wanted to take advantage of the time when the United English Society did not have a leader to expand its strength. Only with enough manpower could he realize his ambition to annex the United English Society.
Long Hair thought for a moment and asked,
"Brother Long, are you planning to make a move against the United English Society?”
Wen Nuoyan nodded, a cold smile appearing on his face as he said coldly,"
"That's right, I'll take advantage of his illness to take his life. I'll personally take back what the United English Society owes me in the past.”
Wen Nuoyan then looked at Ming Wang and Chang Fa and asked,"
"This time, I need you to recruit enough people as soon as possible. Can you do that?”
Changfa and Ming Wang looked at each other with excitement in their eyes. They shouted in unison,
"Brother Long, don't worry. I promise I'll do it!"
P.S. A wave of fresh flowers, a wave of monthly votes, a wave of evaluation votes, an endless loop of all kinds of data…
