Cooperation

A line of black sedans, surrounding a stretch limousine, stopped outside the gates of the Canghe Academy.

The black sedan's door was open.

A group of men wearing sunglasses, black suits, and buzz cuts.

They jumped out of the car with a whoosh.

They quickly lined up in two rows.

Then, the door of the extended luxury car opened, and a man in his thirties wearing a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses stepped out.

He stepped forward, smiled, and said, "Hello, Luo Yan."

"I am Mr. Hong Dongxing's assistant, my surname is Huang."

"Mr. Hong would like to meet with you, please."

The man surnamed Huang turned to the side and raised his arm in a gesture.

In his mind, Luo Yan would gladly accept Hong Dongxing's invitation.

The truth is...

Luo Yan glanced at him.

He walked straight toward the Academy gate.

It's not that he's arrogant.

Normally speaking, how could an 'exchange student' who had just arrived in Qingyang City know anyone like Hong Dongxing?

The man surnamed Huang was taken aback for a moment, and was about to stop him.

A long laugh rang out.

Then someone said, "Little Huang, step back."

"It's normal for Classmate Luo to turn around and leave since he doesn't know me."

"It's also my fault for not introducing myself."

"Student Luo Yan, now the entire Qingyang region can handle the Chu Family for you."

"It's probably just me, Hong Dongxing of the Dongxing Group!"

Luo Yan then stopped.

Turn around.

It was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

A self-made tycoon who wielded influence in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

He was a well-mannered middle-aged man in his early fifties.

He was dressed appropriately, without wearing gold or silver jewelry.

Given his status...

His attire was surprisingly simple at this moment.

"Come on, let's talk?"

Luo Yan remained silent for a moment before turning and walking away.

A moment later.

Inside the extended luxury car.

Luo Yan sat opposite Hong Dongxing.

Besides them, there were two other stunningly beautiful women in the carriage with figures comparable to supermodels.

Furthermore, it appears they are twins.

The twin sisters each had a different task: one boiled water, and the other brewed tea.

The movements were fluid and graceful.

A feast for the eyes.

Hong Dongxing introduced with a smile, "These are the two sisters, Xiao Rou Xiao Meng."

Luo Yan kept his eyes fixed on Hong Dongxing, seemingly oblivious to the two stunning beauties in the carriage.

Hong Dongxing's eyes flickered.

I smiled.

"Classmate Luo slapped Chu Yunfei to death last night, causing a sensation throughout the city."

"But it also brought me a deadly predicament, do you know that?"

Luo Yan nodded slightly.

Hong Dongxing continued, "I've known Chu Zhao for half my life, and I understand him very well."

"Chu Yunfei is his grandson, he will absolutely not swallow this insult."

"I'm sure he'll retaliate swiftly and severely next."

"Furthermore, although you are Mech Master, you are ultimately not a resident of Qingyang City."

"You're not part of the Qingyang Legion's organization, so the Legion won't go to great lengths for you."

"If you think the Corps is your backer, you're sorely mistaken!"

Luo Yan picked up the tea offered by the twin sisters and took a sip.

No response yet. We await further developments.

Hong Dongxing then took out a cigar and handed it to the beautiful woman next to him.

He continued.

"In addition to Chu Zhao, the Chu Family also has Chu Mo."

"He is Chu Zhao's brother, and also the Finance Director of Qingyang City."

"If he puts pressure on the military, they will be even less likely to protect you."

What do you think?

Luo Yan nodded and put the teacup back on the table.

Hong Dongxing took the lit cigar, took a puff, and exhaled smoke.

"So the current situation is that even if you, Classmate Luo, want to reconcile with the Chu Family..."

"They won't let you off the hook either."

"If you don't kill them, they'll kill you."

"It's that simple."

Luo Yan finally spoke, "What's your proposal?"

"Cooperate."

Hong Dongxing laid so much groundwork just to lead into this sentence.

"I'll withstand Chu Mo's pressure for you and give you information about the Chu Family."

"Once you wipe out the Chu Family, you'll have no more worries."

"After this is done, you and I will divide the Chu Family's business among ourselves, each getting what we deserve."

"How?"

Luo Yan did not answer the question.

Suddenly he said.

"Last night, I slew a monster."

"The corps conducted an analysis overnight and concluded that this was a man-made monster."

"It is a biological weapon."

"On my way to Qingyang City, I killed a team from the 'Black Wave' company at a base."

"That team was capturing elderly people and children at the base, supposedly to be sent to a laboratory for experimental use."

Hong Dongxing was taken aback.

He thought for a moment and said, "You mean, Chu Zhao is secretly researching some kind of monster, researching biological weapons?"

Ding Yang, the owner of 'Black Wave' Company, is Chu Zhao's son-in-law.

therefore.

Based on the information Luo Yan provided, it wasn't difficult for Hong Dongxing to reach the above conclusion.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out."

Luo Yan nodded and continued, "If we can find this laboratory..."

"With direct evidence, Chu Zhao is doomed without me even lifting a finger."

"He's dead."

"When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter."

"The others will be no threat."

"Furthermore, conducting private research on biological weapons is illegal."

"If Chu Mo wants to protect himself, he will sever ties with Chu Zhao."

"This way, he'll have less pressure in that area."

"To avoid suspicion, he won't do anything in the short term."

Hong Dongxing nodded. "That makes sense."

"Therefore, rather than fighting to the death with the Chu Family in Qingyang City..."

"Why don't we try to find this laboratory?"

Luo Yan looked at the man opposite him. "You should be able to do this, right?"

Hong Dongxing laughed heartily, "As long as this laboratory does exist, I will definitely be able to find it."

"Okay, leave this to me."

"I will let you know if there is any news."

Luo Yan continued, "Chu Zhao also keeps a nest of venomous snakes around him; I killed one last night."

"If the artificial monster was indeed created by Chu Zhao, then he will likely throw all those venomous snakes into the laboratory next."

"To prevent unauthorized entry."

Hong Dongxing was surprised again, and for the first time, he looked at Luo Yan with a serious expression.

Luo Yan continued, "I can't handle so many venomous snakes by myself."

Hong Dongxing's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "I also have a few skilled men under my command."

"At that time, I will have them act with you."

Luo Yan raised his hand and spread out his five fingers.

"At last."

"After it's done."

"All of the Chu Family's businesses are yours, but I want fifty million."

Upon hearing this number...

Hong Dongxing's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Then the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile.

"Okay, I'll transfer ten million to you right away."

"To show sincerity."

"After the Chu Family disappears, I'll transfer 40 million to you in one lump sum."

He extended his hand. "Pleasure doing business with you?"

Luo Yan glanced at him before shaking his hand. "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

I got off the bus.

Luo Yan walked towards the Academy gate.

He was not interested in the Chu Family's business.

Moreover, he won't stay in Qingyang forever, so he won't have the energy to manage any business.

He received 50 million in one go.

After returning to Guangling, it can be used to upgrade mechs, or for the routine maintenance of 'God General' level mechs.

Due to commercial needs, the work points in the Undercity are universal, so there is no situation where the work points in Qingyang City cannot be used in Guangling.

This was also the basis for Luo Yan's demand for money over business from Hong Dongxing.
