Where did it go?

"Damn it, what are you thinking about all day in that iron lump brain of yours? If we want to survive in this dump, we have to stick together, and the more people we have, the better, so we don't run into disagreements like last time."

Sun Jack explained to Taipai the other reason he recruited AA.

"The team before was cobbled together by Song 6. The two of us were barely considered muscle. Song 6 is useless at most things, but he said one thing right: teamwork is definitely better than going it alone."

"Oh? You want to build your own team?"

"Old 6 can do it, why can't I?" Sun Jack retorted.

"We've already done two jobs, we basically know the process, and we've met a bunch of acquaintances. The resources are all there. Why throw it away? If Old 6 doesn't want it, we'll take it ourselves!"

"Oh? Your little brain is quite clever~ I never noticed it before." Taipai reached out and patted Sun Jack's head.

"Get lost!"

Sun Jack's gaze shifted to the system UI interface, and he began to search. Old 6 was gone, and he needed to find another broker, a very reliable one at that.

Now, the only thing missing from his team was a broker. Once that was settled, with Si Ai, Vajra, and Priest, based on his understanding of them, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Why not just pay for information directly?"

Sun Jack tentatively selected a few keywords and waited for the system's big data analysis to automatically recommend content.

However, Sun Jack quickly realized that searching like this was useless. All the free recommendations were meaningless content.

After several hours of frustration, Sun Jack, feeling a bit annoyed, ordered takeout. He planned to eat and then go find Priest to discuss some matters, as it was best to consult an industry insider.

He leaned against the bed, looking at the neon world under the heavy rain outside, and the apartment that was gradually becoming familiar.

From the beginning until now, he had been struggling desperately to survive. Although there were still some troublesome matters, after all the ups and downs, he had managed to survive.

Sun Jack suddenly thought of something. He picked up his fully charged phone and started taking pictures outside.

After taking the photos, Sun Jack kept flipping through his phone, nodding frequently as he looked at his recent masterpieces.

"Not bad, not bad. My photography skills are still as awesome as ever."

As he scrolled through various photos, a familiar yet strange image suddenly caught his eye. It was a picture of his home. He had forgotten what he was trying to photograph at the time, only that he had taken it crookedly, capturing a corner of his computer desk.

Due to focus issues, the photo was very blurry, and the angle was also off.

However, as Sun Jack looked at this blurry photograph, various scenes from the last century suddenly flooded his mind, and an intense longing for home instantly surged through him.

Sun Jack kept scrolling through the photos on his phone, looking at the bits and pieces of his memories. The more he looked, the clearer the world in his mind, which had begun to blur, became again.

His past family, his past friends, his past everything, and the home he could never return to – that was his world, that was the world he should be living in.

Sun Jack recalled all the good times from the past, his eyes moistening. He missed home.

"Sun Jack! You're a piece of shit!" Taipai's coarse language yanked Sun Jack back to reality.

"Fuck!!" Sun Jack shoved the phone into his pocket and rushed angrily into the living room. "What's wrong with you! Did your system get a virus! Why are you cursing me for no reason!"

"You said you'd buy supplies for me, and then you just forgot, didn't you?"

"Fuck! Old 6 hasn't sent the money! How can I give it to you! Respect me from now on! I'm your master!!"

With a "click," the door opened, and Si Ai walked in from outside, her eyes widening as she looked at the two of them.

Sun Jack's heart sank. His mind raced, trying to figure out how to salvage the situation.

Just then, Si Ai spoke, and she smoothed things over herself, no need for Sun Jack to say a word.

"Master? Are you guys playing some new kind of game? Is my unexpected intrusion today also part of your game?"

Sun Jack's face instantly darkened, but he didn't know how to explain. "How do you have access to this room!"

"I borrowed it for a few days as a fuck room, so I have access to this room." Si Ai, a cigarette in her mouth, curiously poked her head into Sun Jack's bedroom, her eyes showing a hint of curiosity.

Sun Jack yanked her out. "What are you doing here?"

"Where's AA? I came to remove her stitches and rivets. By the way, how did you two's chat go, did you sleep together?"

"She's not here! I'll take her to your clinic tomorrow. You can leave now."

Sun Jack forcefully pushed Si Ai towards the door. He realized this guy was just bored and came to watch the gossip, barging in without knocking just to see something explosive.

"What are you pushing for? I still have one more thing to say, it's about Pus."

Hearing that it was related to Old 6, Sun Jack was very surprised. "What new trouble is that kid stirring up now? Don't expect me to work with him on another commission. We're done, and that's final!"

"No, did you receive the money for the last commission? I checked the BCPD 6th Division's website, and that commission is already marked as completed." Si Ai's expression finally turned serious.

Before Sun Jack could speak, Taipai rushed over. "I knew that bastard wasn't up to anything good! He never intended to share the money with us from the start! That Old 6 ran off!"

"Are you sure this is true?" Sun Jack said, quickly sending a message to Vajra and Priest to confirm.

"I don't think it's possible," Si Ai said, sitting down on the sofa and crossing her legs.

"You think Song 6PUS wouldn't steal our money?" Sun Jack asked hesitantly.

"Are you kidding me? If he didn't seize our money, would he still be Pus?"

"I mean, with his personality, if he stole our money, he'd either mock us relentlessly on his live stream or go party hard offline. He wouldn't be this quiet. This isn't like him."

"So you're saying he was kidnapped? By whom? The Graffiti Gang?"

Si Ai shook her head. "Highly unlikely. Every line has its rules. They just completed a commission, and today they're making a move on 6PUS? This isn't just tying up Song 6; it's slapping the 6th Division in the face. Unless they don't want to do business anymore."

Hearing this, Sun Jack looked confused. This was very strange. Lately, besides the Graffiti Gang, they hadn't offended anyone else.

"If you ask me, this is a good thing. Who cares if he dies? Who is Old 6 anyway? Don't know him! Seeing Old 6 in trouble, Taipai appeared very happy.

"But our 20@ reward is still with Old 6." Sun Jack's words instantly changed Taipai's screen to an emoticon.
