It ended unhappily.

At least, from Reyes's perspective, this drinking party had truly ended unhappily.

However, for Zhou Yi and Gisele, who was impersonating his secretary—

"Wine glass, napkin, preliminary letter of intent..." Zhou Yi took the UV flashlight handed to him by his subordinate and shone it on the items. Immediately, fingerprints appeared on them.

These items had all been specially treated beforehand to ensure that Reyes's fingerprints would remain on them, clearly visible.

"Left hand, right hand, several on each, is that enough?" Zhou Yi shook the flashlight. Among the many fingerprints, there were several complete and clear ones.

"That's more than enough," Gisele said with delight.

The next day.

"I got the fingerprints," Gisele returned to the abandoned factory around noon and handed several vacuum-sealed bags containing the fingerprint-marked items to Tej.

"So, this is..." Tej took the pile of items and looked through them one by one. "A wine glass, a napkin... what's this? A preliminary letter of intent? What did you do? Did you go talk business with Reyes?"

"No, I asked Zhou Yi for help. He talked business with Reyes," Gisele took out a UV light and shone it on the items, revealing the fingerprints. "So the matter is resolved... I'm a bit tired, I'm going to rest."

"I suspect things aren't that simple," Roman narrowed his eyes and walked over to Tej. He quietly said as he watched Gisele leave, "Did you notice?"

"Of course, I'm not blind. How could I not notice such obvious difficulty moving?" Tej replied irritably. "I didn't expect that guy to be so capable?"

"When you say 'capable,' which aspect are you referring to?" Roman asked meaningfully, a smile on his face that could only be described as 'lewd'.

"Of course," Tej raised an eyebrow, revealing a similar smile to Roman's. "That aspect..."

Gisele, still experiencing some difficulty moving, returned to her lodging and lay down. Soon after, she fell into a deep sleep.

"He's practically a monster..." a murmur escaped her in her sleep.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yi, feeling refreshed, tossed a full storage card into the safe.

Last night, someone had overestimated themselves, so he spent half his energy to successfully make the other party completely convinced and obtained a full storage card as a souvenir.

It wasn't that he had any particular fetish, but he thought that if he were to meet the same person in different worlds in the future, showing them these videos and photos... it would surely be very interesting.

For example, showing Wonder Woman that "she herself" had previously said that wearing that kind of armor was strange.

Perhaps after their relationship deepened, he could show her other interesting things.

"Since I have the fingerprints, they should be close to finishing up, right?" Zhou Yi squinted contentedly, lying on a beach chair, and began to wonder what his next world to explore would be, and... what his next profession would be, and how much of a bonus his [Mechanic] profession would give him after reaching the advanced level.

Time flew by.

Whether it was the protagonist's IQ-lowering halo or some other reason, Toretto's crew successfully infiltrated the police station and did some minor renovations there.

Opening the safe at the police station was impossible; the hundred million dollars in cash would take half a day just to move.

So, they planned to take the entire safe with them, then perform a switcheroo on the road, transport the safe to a secure location, and then divide the money slowly.

However, before they could carry out these plans, they needed to make some minor preparations.

Although the horsepower provided by the cars Zhou Yi supplied was sufficient to drag the tens of tons of safe around, it couldn't guarantee they could completely control that behemoth.

Therefore, to prevent excessive casualties, Zhou Yi proposed a suggestion.

"Control the city's traffic lights?" Tej shook his head. "The difficulty of this task is very high. There are two ways: one is to go to the control center, but how to control it in real-time and safely withdraw is definitely a problem. The second is to hack the system and control it remotely, but that requires very high-end hacking skills... I'm just an electrical engineer, not a hacker, and we don't have anyone for this here."

"Don't panic. If it weren't possible, I wouldn't have suggested it," Zhou Yi said, standing on the deck of the cruise ship and watching the sunset on the distant horizon. "Leave this to me. Hacking a traffic control center is quite easy to do."

Bored, Zhou Yi recalled the destruction Toretto's crew would cause during their operation later and then called Toretto, relaying the suggestion.

Although the movie didn't show any scenes of innocent bystanders being killed, Zhou Yi could imagine the immense casualties such an operation might cause.

By planning the route and controlling the traffic lights, not only would the operation proceed more smoothly, but it would also prevent innocent civilians from getting involved. Isn't that wonderful?

"If that's the case, then that money is rightfully yours," Toretto replied. "I know you don't need the money, but there must be rules for everything."

"Ah, I understand that," Zhou Yi smiled. "Is O'Conner there?"

"Me?" O'Conner, standing nearby, was taken aback.

"Yes," Zhou Yi chuckled. "I heard Toretto raced you before and lost a million dollars to you?"

"Uh... yes," O'Conner scratched his head. "I won it with my own skills!"

Although O'Conner knew that Toretto had probably gone easy on him, that didn't stop him from stubbornly insisting he won fair and square.

Of course, everyone present wore knowing smiles.

"Is that so? Then let's just say that," Zhou Yi didn't want to embarrass O'Conner. "Then, as a gift for Mia's unborn child, my share is yours."

Giving away ten million dollars with a wave of his hand didn't cause Zhou Yi any hesitation or heartache.

For him now, unless the money could be counted towards his experience points, he would definitely get it. Otherwise, it was just paper.

"What about me, what about me?" Roman quickly chimed in. "Brother, you can't do this. Look, we've met several times!"

"You..." Zhou Yi laughed heartily. "Let's race. If you can beat me, it's also ten million dollars. If you lose, you just give me five million dollars. How about it?"

"It's a deal?"

"It's a deal!"

"Alright!" Roman jumped up excitedly after hanging up the phone.

In Roman's eyes, he was definitely going to win this ten million!

Although he knew Zhou Yi was a very skilled mechanic... Zhou Yi was just a mechanic, what would he know about driving!

"This way, I can get twenty million!" Roman muttered to himself.

"Heh heh..." Toretto chuckled gleefully as he looked at Roman, then turned and left.

"What?" Roman froze.

"My condolences," O'Conner patted Roman's shoulder, his face full of sympathy.

"Wh-what do you mean?" Roman was completely bewildered.

"I might have forgotten to mention it before," O'Conner's expression remained sympathetic. "Zhou Yi has raced against Toretto several times before, and the final results..."

"What were the final results? Don't tell me Zhou Yi could tie with Toretto?"

"Of course not."

"Phew... then I can relax."

"Zhou Yi had a slight edge."

It's a deal... I also have a promise with someone, I wonder if it can be fulfilled... Anyway, I'll tell you if it is.
