Corporate slave? Pshaw, I'm the richest woman now!

The convoy was quite a sight on the streets.

The three cars slowly drove out of Alberto's estate, one after the other, and returned along the same route they had come from. They were allowed to pass through the checkpoint from a distance.

Tang Tang noticed that the Mafia members parked around the convoy would automatically remove their hats and bow when they saw the convoy, then lower their heads and wait for it to leave.

The spectacle was a bit too much; someone who didn't know better might think it was Godfather making an appearance.

What Tang Tang didn't know was that Alberto's lab was surprisingly fast. Before she went to the crocodile park, Alberto called Mauriy away and asked her to pick up the sample report.

The few clear lines of text made Alberto's aging heart beat again.

Although no mouse or human trials have been conducted, chemical analysis has confirmed that the drug contains a significant amount of active molecules and exhibits some inhibitory activity against cancer cells.

Alberto immediately gave the order to raise Tang Tang's rank to the highest level.

Seemingly noticing Tang Tang's confusion, David explained as he drove, "This Rolls-Royce Wraith belongs to Mr. Godfather in his garage."

"Although the Godfather did not use this car often, everyone still respected him."

Or rather, awe.

Tang Tang nodded, smiling to conceal the deep thought in her eyes. She was very perceptive, so she immediately grasped the key point and asked in her mind, "Is there any progress in the drug experiment?"

Clinical trials are still pending.

As expected, Tang Tang knew that the other party would not suddenly change their attitude.

However, she accepts this well, since a mutually beneficial relationship is relatively stable.

As they drove into the city, the number of cars and shops on the road gradually increased. The three cars were quite eye-catching and stylish, both in terms of price and their family crests, so people would glance at them from time to time.

The Italian Mafia is less a gang and more a large, family-run corporation.

Alberto's family isn't the only dominant force in Italy; there are other scattered gangs as well. However, Alberto's family and influence stand at the pinnacle of the Italian Mafia.

To put it simply, Alberto, as the Godfather, ascended to the throne through bloodshed and conflict in his youth. At that time, the conflicts were extremely intense, and Alberto had to wipe out countless small gangs to unify the entire Mafia.

Later, due to the mixed quality of the members, Alberto adopted the company's management system to establish doctrinal regulations.

For example, the Mafia's "Ten Commandments".

Therefore, the Mafia's reputation has improved a lot in the eyes of the general public. Of course, given their different nature, most people still keep their distance.

Because of the upcoming Maple Leaf fashion show in Milan, there were significantly more tourists and locals than usual, and Tang Tang could spot quite a few Asian faces at a glance.

Cars on the road gave way to Tang Tang's car, and they arrived at the center of Milan without any obstacles, which is also the location of most luxury brand headquarters' directly operated stores.

It's not that Tang Tang lacks class; she genuinely enjoys spending money in her free time. She used to hate shopping in malls because it was hot, tiring, and required trying on and changing clothes, but now it's completely different.

She is always chauffeured around in luxury cars, and someone worries that she might get tired with every step she takes. All her belongings are carried for her, and any luxury store will prepare drinks and afternoon tea especially for her.

It's not tiring at all, it's so much fun!

Several cars slowly came to a stop. First, four cool-looking bodyguards from the two Mercedes cars got out to isolate Tang Tang from the crowd. Then David got out and opened the car door for Tang Tang, while Morley stood beside Tang Tang, one on the left and one on the right. Together with the other bodyguards on the perimeter, they almost completely surrounded Tang Tang.

It's even difficult to find a sniping spot.

Tang Tang, who was already 1.7 meters tall and considered quite tall, looked at the wall of people around her who were almost two heads taller than her: ...

Even Moli is 180cm tall, and the other bodyguards are basically 188cm or taller. Add to that their muscular physiques and cool faces with black sunglasses, and passersby would rather stay at least ten meters away from Tang Tang.

But what puzzled them most was Tang Tang, who was surrounded in the middle. She seemed to be dressed in Chinese clothing and had an innocent and simple face. To most Italians, she looked extremely petite.

From a distance, a slightly plump Italian woman looked at the petite Tang Tang surrounded by a group of burly men and said worriedly to the bald, fat man beside her, "Oh, look! Those are Mafia members! They've captured a frail Chinese girl!"

The chubby uncle opened his small eyes and stared intently before pursing his lips and explaining to his wife, "Look closely, those people are clearly protecting her!"

"Oh! Then tell me, why does the Mafia protect Chinese people?"

Yes, why?

Some Chinese passersby who could understand Italian craned their necks to look at Tang Tang and her group, speculating among themselves.

"My God, did you see that? They said those people are the Mafia, the Mafia from that movie."

Another girl nodded, "I've been studying in Italy for a year and I've never seen a Mafia member."

“It’s different in the US. A few days ago, someone downstairs was shot. The apartment building stairs were covered in blood, and I still have to walk over there to go to school every day.”

The other Chinese students gave this beautiful Chinese student a thumbs up and praised her, saying, "Our American is still the best."

"That little girl was so pretty! And that cheongsam, oh my god, did you see it? The gems on the embroidery were blinding."

"Is she some kind of underworld heiress? But that little girl doesn't seem to be mixed race, does she? She's incredibly beautiful, but she has a purely Chinese face."

"I don't understand. Should we follow them and see? It seems like the young lady is going shopping. She's heading towards Hermès."

Logically, they already knew that Tang Tang was surrounded by Mafia members, not to mention that everyone's suit jackets were slightly bulging, confirming that each person definitely carried a handgun. The wise ones would have left long ago.

Unfortunately, the hooligans in our country are all incredibly stubborn. They are all around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, both men and women. They looked at each other and surprisingly passed the resolution unanimously.

So the group of idiots happily followed Tang Tang and the others forward.

Tang Tang noticed that the bodyguards exchanged glances without making a sound. The bodyguard in front of Tang Tang continued to clear a path for her with a cold expression, while David slowly blocked her left rear, and Morley blocked her right rear.

The two male bodyguards behind him exchanged glances, then slowly reached for the guns at their waists.

Surrounded in the middle, Tang Tang looked completely bewildered. As Moli suddenly moved closer to block her view, she wondered in her mind, "All of you?"

The system's tone was calm, but with a hint of suppressed laughter.

[Host, you're being followed by a group of Chinese students. They're so suspicious they were spotted by the bodyguards.]

Tang Tang fell silent, somewhat doubting the intelligence of the group of international students behind her.
