When Manager Ren woke up, he thought he was dreaming.

He opened his eyes to the familiar ceiling and the familiar room; he was still sleeping in his own bed.

Manager Ren let out a long sigh of relief, threw off the covers, and went to the bathroom. Two minutes later, wrapped in a bath towel, he rushed out the door and ran into the street, repeatedly saying that his house was haunted and asking the security guard to go up and check it out.

What era are we living in? It's truly eye-opening to find people who still believe in ghosts!

Manager Ren left the house with only his lower body covered. His white, fleshy body and ever-growing beer belly were impossible to hide.

People pointed and whispered about him; even if they were complete strangers, they were all from the same neighborhood. They quickly pieced together all of Manager Ren's information through their conversations.

Under the scrutiny of various eyes, Manager Ren felt increasingly ashamed. He almost pulled off a towel to cover his head, but his rationality remained taut, preventing him from making a grave mistake.

If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to be scared by ghosts at home!

Manager Ren was unaware that all of this was caused by his refusal to answer communications.

At five o'clock in the morning, just ten minutes after Li Mo arrived home, there was a knock on the door. Li Mo looked at the monitor and saw that the visitor was Shen Kang, a man in his thirties dressed in a suit and tie, who was the general manager of the local home appliance company and a frequent subject of interviews by reporters.

Could this person be someone sent by the government to meet him?

It's no wonder Li Mo thought that way. After returning home and taking a shower, Li Mo contacted the higher-ups in the government. He said that although he hadn't killed any of the collateral branches of the four major families, he had killed the eldest son of the first family's direct line, and asked if he could pass the trial.

If he really killed the eldest son of the first family, it wouldn't be a matter of passing the trial.

The man was initially incredulous, then contacted other high-ranking officials.

The head of the Wang family kept the news under wraps. Several people deduced from the clues revealed by the Wang family that Li Mo was not lying.

This is a huge deal!

He thought that killing a member of a collateral branch of the family as a pledge of loyalty would demonstrate his courage and ability, as well as show his devotion.

I never expected this kid to be so capable; he actually killed the eldest son of the first family.

They actually managed to escape unscathed.

Even if they wanted to protect him, they couldn't. The country's capabilities were too weak to contend with the four major families.

"Did they find out that you did it?"

“No one gave a signal, everyone is dead, but I didn’t kill the others, I only…” Li Mo was afraid that the other party would think he was bloodthirsty, but he didn’t expect that the other party would not listen to his explanation at all.

Su Fan's expression turned serious, and he urgently interrupted Li Mo, "I understand, the most important thing right now is where you are?"

Perhaps feeling that his words were a bit abrupt, the person softened his tone, adopting an attitude of "I'm thinking of you."

"I'm just worried about your safety. The Wang family has connections everywhere; even the slightest trace could lead back to you." Su Fan, having spent years navigating the world of powerful figures, had honed his acting skills to perfection. He easily fooled this hot-blooded young man just entering society.

"Don't worry, I avoided all the cameras, and I climbed over the wall to come back. Nobody saw me."

"That's good. Send me your location and stay home. I'll send someone to pick you up as soon as possible."

Li Mo hung up the call, his left eyelid twitching uncontrollably. He had a feeling of impending doom and couldn't help pacing back and forth in the room.

Su Fan took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and went to an office. Three high-ranking government officials were already seated there. They were able to get here so quickly because they lived in the same neighborhood, making it very convenient for them to come and go.

Although the viewpoint he presented was proposed by Su Fan, he still skillfully waited for everyone to express their opinions.

"Do we really have to hand it over?" One of the men, an older man whom everyone called Old Li, asked. He had seen Li Mo's photo; Li Mo was a young and energetic man. His question revealed his hesitation.

"Yes, and we have to be quick. The Ye family controls the network communications, and he might have already been exposed. That's the eldest son of the Wang family; we can't protect him."

"Hand him over now, and we can not only sever ties but also gain some benefits. Any later, and it'll be too late!" Both men were relatively rational and insisted on handing him over. It wasn't that they were cold-blooded, but rather that they had no choice.

"Let me think about it some more! This child is capable and young." Old Li still cherishes talent and couldn't bear to see such a talented person perish.

"Old Li, I know you can't bear to push him into the fire, and neither can I. The only one to blame is our weakness; the weak are meant to be beaten." Su Fan stepped in to smooth things over. If he didn't resolve this quickly, how could he continue to navigate this group?

"We can't let a moment of impulse drag everyone down with us. If you won't be the bad guys, I will." Su Fan said, making a move to contact the Wang family, but was stopped by Old Li.

"I'll fight."

Upon hearing Old Li's voice, Su Fan appeared sorrowful on the surface, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

Li Mo was pacing around the house when the doorbell suddenly rang.

So fast?

The people of this country are truly extraordinary! Their speed is far beyond my reach. They arrived here in just a few minutes—how fast is that?

Could it be that the country holds the key to new energy sources?

If I remember correctly, the person in front of me belongs to the Huang Group.

Is he an undercover agent?

Or is it due to the pressures of life?

"Who sent you?" Li Mo assumed the other party was someone from the government and, fearing that someone might be overheard, did not specify.

Shen Kang assumed the other person was referring to the young master of the Huang family and nodded in acknowledgment.

"I'll pack up and leave immediately." I must take all my inventions with me; I won't be coming back to this place.

"Don't worry, we'll arrange the safest place for you." When Shen Kang received the task, he thought he would have to use all his persuasive skills to recruit them. As the old saying goes, talented people often have a bad temper.

I didn't expect it to be so simple! He left with me after just a couple of sentences.

Hearing this, Li Mo became even more certain that Shen Kang was sent by the government. He put all his belongings in his storage ring and, without hesitation, got into the flying car Shen Kang had driven.

The car sped off, leaving the ground three feet off the ground. The speed was so fast that Li Mo almost threw up.

This is the first time in my life I've ever ridden a legendary flying car.

The ride was a terrible experience, I give it a bad review!

"You don't look well. Is this your first time sitting here?"

Li Mo's face turned pale, and it took him a while to recover. He shook his head and didn't say anything.

“I only got this car last year, and I’m usually reluctant to drive it. If my boss hadn’t been urging me, you might not have gotten to ride in it.”

"Boss? What boss?" Li Mo felt something was off. Was this person not sent by the government?

Li Mo quietly took out the air gun, ready to kill the other party and escape in a car if anything went wrong.

Who is this boss you're talking about?

Shen Kang sensed the tense atmosphere inside the car and rubbed the steering wheel. "Brother, let's talk this out. We're all struggling. This car is the result of years of hard work; I don't even let anyone touch it..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Just tell me, who is your boss?" Li Mo's body tensed, as if he might suddenly attack and hurt someone at any moment.

Shen Kang sighed helplessly, "Why don't you go first? I don't want to have a conflict with you, we can talk things out!"

Li Mo still gripped the air gun tightly, and seeing him continue driving forward at an undiminished speed, he couldn't help but frown.

What is the other party’s purpose?
