Ding dong.
Suddenly, there was a new message.
Li Chengyi took out his phone and glanced at it, it was from Song Ran.
‘Tell your friend to be careful. Silent Fortress has already marked him as a key surveillance target. As soon as he appears in the urban area, he will be reported to the Association and the Bureau of Security immediately. Within five minutes, there will be experts on standby ready to encircle and suppress him.’
The message was followed by an attachment that included the detailed whereabouts of the several individuals the company had helped to investigate.
Since they were all legal public figures, unlike the usual gang leaders, they were regarded as big figures on the Suiyang roads. Every move they made was significant, and thus, they were easy for the company to track.
On the contrary, the smaller the character, the more troublesome it was to investigate.
‘Understood!’ Li Chengyi replied.
After being remotely attacked last time, he guessed that Wisteria Floral Dress might be targeted.
But it didn’t matter.
He would just not use the Wisteria Flowers.
Carrying Flying Yi, he walked toward a dark alley on the side of Tranquil Waters.
Faint barking noises were emanating from the alley.
A stray cat was foraging for food in an overflowing garbage bin. Upon noticing Li Chengyi’s entrance, the cat leapt away in an instant and sprinted into the shadows.
Li Chengyi glanced at the corners around him, there was only one camera, and it had been deliberately damaged.
Apparently, this alley was reserved by the nearby gangs for dealing with business that shouldn’t be seen by others.
After verifying there were no cameras around, he put down Flying Yi and his pocket, and with a swift movement, he suddenly donned the Gladiolus Facial Armor of the Gladiolus Floral Dress.
With just a piece of golden facial armor, it felt like a cosplay from a game, completely unobtrusive in the dim light of the night.
‘I need money, I need Evil Thoughts, I need sustainability. It’s best to solve all these things at once.’
Li Chengyi touched the golden armor on his face, placed down the Flying Yi case, and covered it with his coat.
He looked around and then stretched out his right hand, which suddenly produced a golden short sword. With ease, he carved a square-shaped pit into the ground.
He then threw Flying Yi into the pit, covered it, and tossed the excess soil and rubble next to the garbage bin.
Since the device had various verifications and was unusable by anyone else apart from him, and it could also be located remotely via his phone, he wasn’t worried about losing it. It was just a temporary storage place.
After ensuring everything was fine, Li Chengyi looked at the attachment once more to confirm everything was in order before he walked out of the alley, heading toward Tranquil Waters.
He entered just like any other ordinary customer, leisurely strolling under the somewhat astonished gaze of the waitstaff, into the lobby.
“Sir, are you here for a massage, an overnight stay, or a bath?” a female attendant proactively approached and asked in a low voice.
“I’m looking for someone,” Li Chengyi said, his voice altered to a somewhat raspy and low male tone through a voice changer.
“Which guest are you looking for?” The attendant instinctively sensed something amiss and signaled to several security guards on the side.
The surrounding personnel immediately moved closer, intentionally or unintentionally.
Who comes to a place like this with some bizarre golden facial mask?
“I’m here to meet a friend,” Li Chengyi answered, seemingly completely unaware of the security guards nearby.
“Then may I ask for your friend’s badge number…?” the attendant asked in a low and polite voice.
“I don’t know the badge number, but, I know his name is Long Yuanfu,” Li Chengyi said.

Ten minutes later.
Inside a high-end villa district in Suiyang.
Long Shangui held a fifty-pound barbell in one hand, his body hopping lightly from side to side, punching forward with the barbell.
Amid the swishing sound of the air tearing, his expression was resolute and calm, his brown eyes seemingly focused only on the tip of his fists.
Already in his forties this year, although on the verge of aging, his constant exercise and pharmacological care had kept him at the peak of his physical strength.
Just from his appearance, he looked like a stylish middle-aged man, at most in his early thirties.
Black tank top, camo pants, with muscles that were streamline and well-proportioned, he wasn’t simply a big guy.
His kept-black beard formed a straight line over his lips, topped with his ever-deep and calm brown eyes.
Many people found it hard to remain composed under his steady gaze.
“Big Brother. The goods we got before, three of them died, and the third one slipped away to have fun again. These were all top-notch goods, all White Star girls, our loss is a bit big.”
From the living room behind him, a short-haired, bespectacled fat man pushed the door open and started off with a complaint.
“Let the third brother find someone to replace them later,” Long Shangui said indifferently. “How’s it going with Green Hill Logistics?”
“Green Hill, eh? That old fart was pretty tough before; I took his wife right in front of him and cut off one of his daughter’s ears, and he immediately gave in. He’s being very obedient now,” the fat man, dressed in colorful shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, looking like a giant festive ball, toyed with a snake-skin dagger in his hand.
“That’s good, just make sure not to leave behind any traces,” Long Shangui said lightly.
Just as the fat man was about to speak again, his phone’s ringtone suddenly went off.
The soft music sounded somewhat grating to the ear.
The fat man took it out and glanced at the screen, then answered the call.
No sooner had he answered than a rapid stream of words came from the other end.
Without listening for long, the fat man’s expression changed dramatically.
“There’s been trouble at the place!” he quickly put the phone down and said to Long Shangui.
Long Shangui’s eyebrows furrowed, just as he was about to ask.
Suddenly, his own phone also rang.
This phone number was not one commonly known to people, only his closest associates knew it.
Picking up the silver phone from the coffee table, the incoming call was from an unfamiliar number. He hesitated a moment, then quickly pressed to answer.
“Is this Long Shangui?” a hoarse male voice came from the other end of the line.
“Who are you?”
“Your son is in my hands,” the male voice answered, “Don’t call the police, don’t seek help, in one hour, bring ten million in gold bars, and come to the roadside bend near Black Pine Forest in the outskirts of Fuxing Town.”
Click.
The strength in Long Shangui’s hand almost crushed the phone in an instant.
His facial veins bulged rapidly, his complexion turned red, and his eyes grew even colder and more piercing.
“How do I know you’re telling the truth?”
“I can let you hear your son’s voice,” the male voice answered. Immediately after, there was a rustle of clothes being scrambled.
Soon, Long Yuanfu’s panicked voice came through the phone.
“Dad save me!! Save me!!”
“I’ll give you the money, don’t hurt my son!” Long Shangui’s blood was nearly boiling with rage, wishing he could instantly fly over and chop the kidnapper into pieces to feed to the ants!
But he knew that at this time, he must not provoke the other party, as it could only hurt his son.
“Remember, one hour from now, do not call the cops, come alone. If you’re a minute late, I’ll chop off one of your son’s fingers,” the hoarse male voice said finally.

Thump.
The call ended.
Long Shangui’s face was so red it seemed about to bleed.
He held the phone, his chest heaving violently as if bellows were making noise.
Ah!!!
Suddenly, he let out a roar, and violently threw the barbell in his hand, smashing it against the side projection wall.
A large piece of the wall crumbled, startling the fat man and the two subordinates at the door, making them shudder.
