Chapter 1 The Most Suitable One

"The third type is too uncontrollable and self-destructive, so it's temporarily out of the question. The first type is basically members of large organizations, which is too much trouble. In other words, for me alone, the most suitable one is the second type."

Li Cheng颐 slowly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his eyes beneath his glasses.

"Hey buddy, where are you going in the city? Jiguang Road is a bit too big of an area." The young driver asked.

"I'm not going to Jiguang Road anymore." Li Cheng颐 revealed a hint of a smile. "Master, change the destination to Heping Road. I heard the nightlife in Suiyang is very rich, and I plan to experience it."

"Nightlife, it's all about the same everywhere, but the Serene Waterfront on Heping Road is really good, the highest class, the most luxurious place in Suiyang." At the mention of this, the driver immediately got excited.

"I've driven quite a few guests there, the minimum spend is three thousand, no upper limit, it's a money pit for the rich!"

"I've only heard of it, never been there. Is such a big place safe?" Li Cheng颐 asked seriously.

"Safety is definitely guaranteed, do you know who the boss behind the Serene Waterfront is?" The driver lowered his voice. "Who?"

"Suiyang's Iron Head Dragon, Long Shan Gui!" The driver let out a knowing laugh. "In the entire Suiyang area, for any nightclub, you can just go into any slightly well-decorated one, and Long *Ge* has shares in it. Those without it can't last long."

"So powerful?" Li Cheng頤 said in surprise.

"That's how awesome he is! In the entire Suiyang underworld, Long *Ge* is number one." The driver had an arrogant tone as if he knew all the inside information. "That's amazing." Li Cheng頤 thought that such a person must have a strong willpower.

"Yeah, it's really amazing. I heard that Long *Ge* is only forty-one, and he can build up assets in this age that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of in a lifetime, that's really awesome!" The driver had an envious, jealous, and hateful expression.

"Alright! Then let's go to this Serene Waterfront!" Li Cheng頤 immediately decided.

Taking out his phone, he quickly sent a message to his parents to reassure them, and then sent a message to his boss, asking for help to collect Long *Ge*'s private whereabouts.

To avoid fakes, he also asked to inquire about the private addresses of other gang bosses in Suiyang City. Ding-dong.

"When you're on a business trip, be sure to take care of your body, don't eat anything randomly, upset your stomach, be careful not to catch a cold. Your dad and I have had good benefits at the factory recently, and our salaries have increased, don't worry about the family." - Mom.

"Be careful, I'll take care of everything at home." - Dad. His parents' replies were as distinctive as ever.

Li Cheng頤 replied to each of them. Ding-dong. Another new message.

"Tell your friend to be careful, things haven't been right recently." - Xindela.

"Got it!" Li Cheng頤 quickly replied. From Ding Ning's side, from the old man who tested the mechanical engineers, and from the boss here, they all revealed the same message - things weren't right.

This made the warning bells in Li Cheng颐's heart slowly rise.

"I've found a few clues here, I might need your help later, I'm busy now, I'll talk to you when I have time." - Xindela.

Along with the text message was a list of addresses and profiles of well-known gang leaders in Suiyang. Li Cheng颐 quickly replied with "No problem", then opened the attachment to view it.

Next to the names of the people on this list were the corresponding cases they had committed.

The people in the attachment were all known to have committed the cases, but due to lack of evidence, they could not be sanctioned.

Li Cheng颐's eyes scanned the attachment one by one, quickly circling a few names.

Chen Sui: Imprisoned for organ smuggling, later released on parole. Three years ago, he was sued for human trafficking, but due to lack of evidence, the plaintiff mysteriously disappeared, and the lawsuit has been shelved ever since.

Song Chengtong: He is related to fifteen consecutive cases of violent beatings resulting in death, and his three bars and nightclubs have been repeatedly found to be selling hallucinogenic drugs. He is still at large due to finding someone to take the blame and lack of evidence for prosecution.

In addition to these two, there was Long *Ge*. Long Shan Gui's criminal record was many times that of the previous two, including murder, arson, rape, smuggling, and drugs, almost everything.

It was just that gambling was not illegal in Yi Country, otherwise this would have been added to the list, completing the set of gambling, drugs and prostitution.

After confirming the targets, Li Cheng颐 turned off his phone, he had to solve the problem of body protection as soon as possible.

The second evolution of the Wisteria Scale Armor could invisibly adhere to any clothing and armor, providing concealed daily safety protection.

So this time, the collection of evil thoughts must be done as soon as possible!

More than twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of a row of wide, only two-story buildings.

The front door of the building was filled with various shiny luxury cars, and occasionally flying cars slowly landed, parked in the parking spaces under the guidance of staff.

Above the gate, a huge neon sign composed of both Yi Country and White Star characters was flashing with golden light.

"Serene Waterfront", the four characters looked luxurious and impetuous in the night. There was no sense of serenity.

"We're here, this is it." The driver said with a smile.

"This place isn't serene at all." Li Cheng頤 said.

"I think so too, but vulgar is vulgar, aren't all these places the same?" The driver said. Li Cheng颐 scanned the QR code to pay, got out of the car.

Looking at the magnificent, wide building that stretched for dozens of meters around.

"So, how should I start? To find suitable materials?"

He had his own plans and ideas for continuously obtaining evil thoughts. This time was an attempt.

Ding-dong.

Suddenly, another new message came.

Li Cheng頤 took out his phone and looked at it, it was from Song Ran.

"Tell your friend to be careful, the Silent Fortress has listed him as a key target of attention. As long as he appears in the city, it will be reported to the Federation and the Security Agency immediately. Within five minutes, there will be experts on standby leading a team to encircle him.

Attached is the specific whereabouts of those few people that the company helped investigate.

Because they are all legitimate public figures, these few people are different from ordinary gang leaders, they are considered big shots in Suiyang, and their every move is quite noticeable, so it is easy for the company to investigate them.

On the contrary, the smaller the characters, the more troublesome it is to investigate. "Understood!" Li Cheng頤 replied.

After being remotely attacked last time, he guessed that the Wisteria Scale Armor might be locked on. But it didn't matter.

He didn't need Wisteria Flower.

Carrying the flying instrument, he walked towards a dark alley on the side of the Serene Waterfront. There was a faint sound of barking dogs in the alley.

A stray cat was rummaging for food in an overflowing trash can. When it saw Li Cheng颐 entering, it immediately leaped up and ran into the shadows.

Li Cheng颐 looked around the corner of the wall, there was only one camera, and it had been deliberately damaged.

Obviously, this alley was specially left by the local gang members to handle some things that were not convenient for people to see. After confirming that there were no cameras around, he put down the flying instrument and the bag, his figure flashed, and a mask of Jianlan Flower Scale Armor appeared on his face.

Only a golden mask, gave people the feeling of being like a game Cosplay, without any sense of violation in a dark place at night.

I need money, I need evil thoughts, I need sustainable development. It would be best to solve these things all at once. Li Cheng颐 touched the golden mask on his face, put down the flying instrument box, took off his coat and covered it.

He looked left and right, stretched out his right hand, and suddenly a golden short sword appeared in his palm, easily drawing a square cone-shaped pit in the ground.

Then he threw the flying instrument into it, covered the pit, and threw the excess dirt and gravel to the side of the trash can.

Anyway, this thing has various certifications, no one can use it without him, and it can be remotely located via mobile phone, so he is not worried about losing it. He was just temporarily finding a place to put it.

After confirming that there was no problem, Li Cheng颐 looked at the attachment, confirmed that there was no problem, and then walked out of the alley in strides, heading towards the Serene Waterfront.

He was just like any other ordinary guest entering, slowly, and walked into the hall under the somewhat surprised gaze of the waiter.

"Boss, are you here for a massage or to stay and take a bath?" A female waitress took the initiative to greet him and asked in a low voice. "I'm here to find someone." Li Cheng颐's voice was changed by a voice changer, into a somewhat hoarse and deep male voice.

"The guest you are looking for is?" The waiter instinctively felt uneasy. She winked at a few security guards beside her. Several people around her moved closer intentionally or unintentionally.

Who goes to a nightclub wearing a strange golden mask?

"I'm here to find a friend." Li Cheng颐 replied. Seeming to not notice the surrounding security guards at all. "Then what is your friend's card number...?" The waitress asked politely in a low voice.

"I don't know the card number, but I know his name is Long Yuanfu." Li Cheng颐 said.

More than ten minutes later.

In a high-end villa area in Suiyang.

Long Shan Gui was holding a fifty-kilogram barbell in one hand, jumping slightly from side to side, punching forward with the barbell.

In the sound of the air being torn apart, his expression was firm and calm, his brown eyes seemed to only be able to see the front end of his fist.

Although he was already in his forties, on the verge of aging, his years of exercise and medicinal maintenance kept him at the peak of his physical strength.

From the outside, this was a middle-aged man in his early thirties at most.

Black vest and camouflage pants, his body had a well-proportioned muscle flow, not just a simple hulk.

His black beard formed a straight line on his lips, coupled with his eternally deep and calm brown eyes. Many people found it difficult to remain calm under his calm gaze.

"Brother. Three of the batch of goods we brought in earlier died, and the third one secretly went down to play again. This time, they were all top-quality goods, all White Star girls, and we suffered a bit of a loss."

In the living room behind him, a short-haired fat man with glasses pushed the door open and immediately complained.

"Tell the third one to find someone to make up for it later." Long Shan Gui said indifferently. "How is Green Mountain Logistics doing?"

"Green Mountain, that old man had a pretty tough temper before, but I slept with his wife in front of him and cut off one of his daughter's ears, and he immediately gave in, now he's very obedient." The fat man was wearing a colorful short-sleeved shirt and shorts, looking like a big colorful ball, playing with a snakeskin dagger in his hand.

"That's fine, be careful not to leave any evidence." Long Shan Gui said lightly. Just as the fat man was about to speak, the ringtone of his mobile phone suddenly rang. The soft music sounded vaguely jarring.

The fat man took it out and looked at it, then answered the phone.

As soon as he answered, a burst of hurried talking came from the other end of the phone. After listening to a few words, the fat man's face changed.

"Something happened at the nightclub!" He quickly put down his phone and said to Long Shan Gui. Long Shan Gui frowned, about to ask.

Suddenly his own phone rang.

This phone number was generally not known to ordinary people, only his closest people knew it.

Picking up the silver phone on the coffee table, the caller ID was an unknown number. He paused for a moment and quickly clicked to answer. "Long Shan Gui?" A hoarse male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Who are you?"

"Your son is in my hands." The male voice replied, "You are not allowed to call the police, you are not allowed to find anyone, in one hour, you must personally bring ten million in gold bars to the road turn sign outside the Black Pine Forest in Fuxing Town in the suburbs."

Click.

The strength in Long Shan Gui's hand almost crushed the phone.

The blood vessels in his face quickly bulged, his face flushed, and his eyes became even more cold and piercing. "How do I know you're telling the truth?"

"I can let you hear your son's voice." The male voice replied. Immediately afterward, there was a burst of hurried clothes rubbing, and soon his son Long Yuanfu's voice came from the phone in a panic.

"Dad save me!! Save me!!"

"I'll give you the money, don't hurt my son!" Long Shan Gui's blood was almost boiling, he couldn't wait to fly over and chop the kidnapper into a human stick to feed the ants!

But he knew that he must not anger the other party at this time, otherwise the one who would be hurt would only be his son.

"Remember, in one hour, you are not allowed to call the police, you must come alone. If you are one minute late, I will chop off one of your son's fingers." The hoarse male voice said finally.

Bang. The phone hung up.

Long Shan Gui's face was almost red with blood.

He held the phone, his chest breathing heavily, making noise like bellows. Ah!!!

Suddenly, he roared, and smashed the barbell in his hand out, hitting the side projection wall. A large piece of the wall skin fell off, scaring the fat man and the two subordinates at the door into a shiver.
