He lost control after drinking and ended up marrying a powerful female CEO.

Villa No. 9, Phoenix Lake.

Qin Huai returned to his room, locked the door, and checked the entire room, but found no eavesdropping or surveillance devices.

It wasn't that they doubted Su Huaijun, but rather that they were being cautious to ensure there wouldn't be any mishaps.

He lit a cigarette, turned on the encryption system on his phone, and then sent a video call invitation to the person wearing glasses.

Soon, the glasses connected to the video call.

With a messy bowl cut, thick-rimmed glasses, and a thin, pale face, he looked like he'd had too much to eat, perfectly embodying the image of a shut-in.

"Brother," Glasses called out.

"Call Lei Huo up," Qin Huai said.

"okay."

After a flurry of keystrokes, Lei Huo joined the group chat.

"Your look..."

Qin Huai and Glasses were both taken aback when they saw Lei Huo.

A man with blond hair, wearing sunglasses, and a cigar in his mouth, against a backdrop of opulent luxury and colorful lighting, appears to be in a private room at a karaoke bar.

"Hehe, boss, do you think I'm handsome now? Do I have the aura of a gangster boss?" Lei Huo grinned, looking smug.

"Someone like you can be identified as a lackey at a glance!"

Qin Huai said expressionlessly, "You're living a good life, aren't you?"

"Uh...it's alright."

Lei Huo took off the blond wig and sunglasses, and looked much more normal.

"The Dulong Gang has swallowed up several small forces in the surrounding area and is expanding rapidly. It is estimated that it will not be long before they become the overlord of the Southern District."

"Brother Huo, I'm not envious of you at all."

The man with glasses scoffed, "If you keep going like this, you'll probably end up eating peanuts."

"Screw you! Glasses, if you utter another word, I'll bring two truckloads of brothers over right now and show you why we're called the Dulong Gang."

Glasses suddenly tightened in a certain place, and he shouted at Qin Huai, "Brother! Look at Lei Huo, it's only been a few days, and he's already completely become a gang leader. Why don't we report this to the organization and take down this cancer in time!"

Lei Huo glared at him: "Shut up! The boss told me to do this!"

"Enough of your nonsense, you two. I'm asking you, has Nuwa been spotted?"

The man with glasses replied, "We haven't found any trace of him yet."

Lei Huo shook his head: "I haven't either. We have people stationed at various traffic intersections every day to keep an eye out for people with strange behavior. As a result, we've caught three wanted criminals, but Nuwa's people haven't shown up yet."

"This is not a good thing."

Qin Huai said in a deep voice, "The more prepared Nuwa is, the more overwhelming her attack will be. Stay alert."

"understand!"

Qin Huai took a drag of his cigarette and asked, "Glasses, which bastard is so irresponsible that he even takes on a bounty for a nobody like Lu Qingxue? I forgot to ask how much the bounty was again?"

"Five million, in dragon coins, not knives."

The man with glasses glanced at the information and said, "The price is a bit low, but it's enough to pique the interest of some people. After all, the current economic climate isn't good, and assassins are finding it difficult to find jobs. Every little bit helps."

As he spoke, he shrugged: "As for who answered the call, I really can't find out. The firewall of the assassin bounty website has always been the best in the world, unless the higher-ups coordinate with the Red Alliance to take action."

Lei Huo retorted, "What use are you?"

Glasses was instantly enraged, his eyes turning bloodshot: "You can insult my appearance, but you can't insult my strength! I'm only a tiny bit away from joining the Red Alliance!"

"What's there to get excited about?"

Qin Huai said, "I've always believed in you. You'll definitely be able to join the Red Alliance in the future, and then you'll be my personal hacker."

"You want an extra spoonful of soup, right?"

Glasses said irritably, "Bro, I'm not trying to be mean, but at least other people offer something in return, while all you offer is soup."

"Try to investigate as much as possible."

Qin Huai threw away his cigarette butt and rubbed his temples.

Being targeted by an assassin is impossible to guard against.

He couldn't always be by Lu Qingxue's side, protecting her closely.

"Lei Huo, have two brothers secretly follow Lu Qingxue."

"No problem, but boss, wouldn't this be considered misuse of public resources? What if the higher-ups investigate..."

Qin Huai pointed to himself expressionlessly: "Mine."

Lei Huo grinned: "Mission accomplished!"

This bastard is afraid of taking responsibility, but as long as someone else takes the blame, he's incredibly daring and will do anything!

"Brother, you are truly brave."

Glasses couldn't help but give Qin Huai a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.

Although the organization was relatively lenient with them, there were certain fundamental principles that could not be crossed.

Qin Huai's behavior is like repeatedly teetering on the edge of self-destruction.

It can be a big deal or a small deal.

If the higher authorities don't pursue the matter, fine. But if they do, the lightest charge would be abuse of power, enough to land Qin Huai in a military court and result in a life sentence.

"That's just how brave I am!"

Qin Huai wore an arrogant expression, but inwardly he was sneering.

Lu Qingxue harbors a great secret, and it is related to the Heart-Rending Poison discovered by a secret organization abroad.

Although no official order to protect Lu Qingxue's safety had been issued from above, Qin Huai's actions already implied this.

If it were a violation, Crimson would have called to warn them long ago.

Not prohibiting it is allowing it, so he wasn't flustered at all.

"Let's get back to business."

Qin Huai said to Glasses, "Be more lenient with the investigation of Chen Huaidong, don't let him find out anything unusual. Then investigate Jiang Limou, even find out what color bitter tea he likes."

"Brother, I've already investigated. I'll investigate anyone who appears around Chen Huaidong. I'll send you Jiang Limou's information later. That bastard has a big appetite and tries every means to embezzle. He deserves a life sentence."

"Send it to me and let me see it. You should report to the organization that my next move might require the green light from the industry and commerce department. Ask the organization to coordinate so that they don't block me later."

The man with glasses nodded: "Okay, I got it."

"Lei Huo, you better watch yourself. I've let you get by, not made you a tyrant. Do you want to unify the underground forces of Chongcheng or what?"

Lei Huo's heart tightened, and he said seriously, "That's impossible! Don't worry, boss, I won't cross the line. Everything we're doing now is to better integrate resources and find out Nuwa's whereabouts as soon as possible."

"It's good that you know this. Just be careful and also check on the assassin who accepted Lu Qingxue's bounty. Even if it's mostly a waste of time, you still have to take action."

"Ah."

"By the way, boss, there's something really interesting."

Lei Huo suddenly remembered something and chuckled, "There's a big sister in the underground of Chongcheng, she's incredibly beautiful, and what's interesting is..."

"I'm not interested in any of this."

Qin Huai yawned, losing interest: "My bottom line for you is not to end up becoming the underworld overlord of Chongcheng, otherwise I'll really have a hard time handling it."

"clear."

"And that's how it ended."

Qin Huai was the first to leave, took a shower, and lit another cigarette while lying in bed.

Amidst the swirling smoke, he pondered his next move.

"It's a bit slow... but haste makes waste, let's get started..."

As he muttered to himself, Qin Huai's phone vibrated.

The person with glasses sent over Jiang Limou's information.

After quickly browsing through the page, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Well done, Jiang Limou, you've really wrapped up your act!"
