The Map Unveiled

It was eleven at night.

Chen Hao and a few others, accompanied by only one trusted bodyguard, entered an entertainment club called Celebrity Gathering.

They arrived at the most luxurious private room. The room fee was only 1880, which was quite cheap.

Chen Hao shouted to the customer manager at the door, "Go, call all your girls down here."

Soon, a group of women, plump and slender, each with their own charm, entered in a procession.

"Hello, boss. My name is Hotaru, from Sichuan."

"Hello, boss. My name is Duoduo, from Anhui."

"Hello, boss. My name is Xinxin, from Shanxi."

"Stop, stop, stop. Bring a new batch of locals."

Chen Hao interrupted them directly. He couldn't stand it. Coming all the way to Ice City, it felt like he was meeting fellow townsfolk. They came here to experience the local specialties.

A few minutes later, another batch came in. Seen from afar, they were like mountain ranges; seen from the side, they were like peaks. Their beauty was varied and captivating.

"Whoa, there's even a Russian friend~"

Old Wu, who was as skinny as a monkey, his eyes lit up. He immediately took the foreign young lady away, smiling as he said to his brothers, "My Russian isn't very good, I need to catch up on my studies first~!"

Chen Hao and Old Er each chose a pair of twin sisters. Their names were lovely: Zhuo Dan and Zhuo Ma, Mongolian girls.

"You pick Zhuo Dan, I'll take Zhuo Ma~"

Soon, the selection was complete. Accompanied by the music, everyone in the room was enveloped in a sensual atmosphere.

After several rounds of drinks, "Uh~ Big Brother, are you really planning to pay the remaining balance to those bastards in three days?"

"What? I can't hear you. Damn it, keep it down~!" Chen Hao roared. He realized the surroundings were too noisy to have the intended effect and saw that Old Er had something important to say.

He leaned close to the ear of the young lady in his arms, "Baby, turn the volume down a bit. Then tell your sisters to go out for a few minutes, maybe to the restroom to relieve themselves or something." After speaking, as the young lady stood up, Chen Hao patted her perky backside.

The woman let out a soft, petulant sound and walked gracefully to the control panel, turning down the volume. Then, sensibly, she called her sisters out.

Seeing that they had serious business to discuss, the others gathered around.

"Go ahead, you can talk now."

Old Er repeated his question.

"Remaining balance? What's that? Didn't we already give them the money?"

Old Si said, "Second Brother, giving them twenty million is already doing us a favor. Those bumpkins probably haven't seen that much money in their lives. They should look at themselves in a puddle before they talk. I say we just give them two million and send them packing. That's why they say Big Brother is kind-hearted!"

"But what if they come looking for us in three days and don't give us the account, and keep pestering us?" Little Wu was a bit worried.

"How about...?" Old San secretly made a beheading gesture.

Chen Hao flicked Old San on the head, his expression grim. "What are you thinking? Can't you use that pig brain of yours? We're in unfamiliar territory here, and murder is illegal. We don't have any connections here, so we need to keep a low profile, understand?

Those guys guarding the entrance should start earning their keep. If the other party doesn't know what's good for them, give them a beating to teach them a lesson. If they dare to call the police, find a couple of scapegoats to take the fall, and then keep beating them. We'll wear them down!"

Old Si was a bit worried. "What if they're playing dumb? I saw the person next to that guy surnamed Chen wasn't ordinary!"

Old San, on the side, hugged Old Si and burst into laughter. "What if he's not ordinary? Can he fight 20 people by himself?"

He downed the wine in his glass, wiped his mouth with a paper napkin, and sneered, "As the old saying goes, a strong dragon can't overpower a local snake. If the local snake is tough enough, we, the dragons crossing the river, will definitely behave.

However, from my observation, judging by how awkwardly they were dressed that day, they probably haven't worn that suit much. This time, it's just three country bumpkins. What's wrong with us brothers keeping twenty million for ourselves? If they really refuse a toast and insist on a penalty, make them spit out that twenty million too!"

"Big Brother is indeed Big Brother, with keen observation and thorough consideration!"

"Damn it, do I need you to emphasize that? This family would have fallen apart without me long ago. Little Wu, go and call the girls back in. They're wearing so little, it's cold outside~"

Chen Hao grabbed the microphone and stood on the table, roaring, "Sisters, let the music play and the dancing continue!"

Then he picked his favorite song, The swaying red wine glass Lips as if stained with blood The night is too beautiful, no matter how dangerous There are always people with tear-filled eyes staying up late My Legend, I will conquer your beauty!

Amidst Chen Hao's off-key singing, Inside the room, ghosts and monsters intertwined, having a grand time!

=====

A few hours earlier, Chen Hao and his group arrived at Zhang San Barbecue's flagship store, a place slightly classier than "Drinking Until You Lose a Shoe."

During the meal, Lin Lang, with a mix of excitement and caution, reminded him, "Haozi, haven't you considered what happens if those second-generation rich kids renege on their promise and refuse to pay the remaining balance?"

"It's fine, Old Ban will handle it."

Old Ban looked bewildered: ??? I didn't know that!

He thought for a moment, "Next time we go, wear casual clothes!"

"Convenient for action?"

"Convenient for running away!"

Wary of Old Ban's strength, Chen Hao didn't dare to make a move. He couldn't charge forward, but he still made a gesture of contempt towards him.

He unbuttoned his shirt collar and said in confusion, "Damn, who would like to wear this? It's too uncomfortable and restrictive. Next time, we won't pretend. Just shorts and a tank top, cosplay Fiery Cloud Evil God~"

Lin Lang was speechless, "Are you really going to let Old Ban go? There are over twenty people on the other side."

"Haha, just kidding. Old Ban is a strategic nuclear weapon, he has to be used last. Actually, I left a backdoor in the program. If they dare to play dirty, I'll delete the database and run, self-destructing the code. Let them go to hell. It's always good to keep a backup plan."

Lin Lang secretly patted his younger brother's head, looking gratified, "You've really matured a lot. Don't worry, big brother also tinkered with the server. They won't find out for at least a month! We have double insurance!"

"Big brother!"

"Haozi!"

They both said in unison, "You've turned bad!"

Then, they quickly added, as if afraid the other would get there first, "Learned from you." The words were still spoken at the same time, showing perfect understanding.

Finally, they stared at each other and burst into laughter!

Pang Ban, standing nearby, rolled his eyes, "Immature!"

For the next three days, seeing the funds arrive, Chen Hao transformed into an incredibly enthusiastic customer service representative, constantly answering the various questions raised by Wu You's team regarding the platform and the private server.

As the final transaction deadline approached, Wu You's team had fewer and fewer questions.

On the last day, there were basically no major issues left, and everything was on track. The Greedy Blue Moon players had no awareness whatsoever; the game they were playing had changed ownership behind the scenes.

The three-day deadline arrived.

Wu You invited Chen Hao to a bowling alley for the final transaction.

The same welcoming staff, the same private booking, and Wu You was still surrounded by a group of men in black for protection.

What was different was that this time, Chen Hao and Pang Ban weren't actually wearing shorts and tank tops. Instead, they were dressed in casual wear for the meeting, walking leisurely and very relaxed.

Wu You and his group were playing bowling when they heard the sound. They turned their heads and saw Chen Hao and Pang Ban strolling over.

"You're here? Want to play a couple of rounds?"

"Let's get down to business first! It's not too late to play after we finish the final procedures."

Over the past two days, Wu You had been looking at the backend revenue panel, seeing tens of thousands of income daily, and was quite eager.

Taking the towel handed to him by a subordinate, Wu You wiped his hands elegantly, "Alright~ Then hand over the super administrator's account and password permissions to me!"

Chen Hao showed a playful smile, "Young Master Wu, don't joke. I've already switched over. If you go back on your word and refuse to pay the final amount, I'll be at a huge loss~"

"Final amount? What final amount? How come I don't remember anything about that?" Wu You asked his companions, "Do you remember me mentioning a final amount?"

"No, when did you say that?"

"I remember we agreed on a one-time transaction of two million. Big brother, you even added an extra zero last time, did you forget?"

Wu You slapped his forehead, feigning realization, "Oh, right. Look at my memory. Brother Aotian, this time, not only do you need to hand over the account, but you also have to return the eighteen million I overpaid!"

After speaking, he spread his hands, looking utterly shameless. He wasn't pretending anymore, he was laying his cards on the table!

The next moment, he snapped his fingers with a commanding gesture. Men in black swarmed in from all directions, surrounding Chen Hao and Pang Ban.

The plot revealed its true colors.
