"The Unification Association has a wide influence overseas and is involved in drugs, the black market, the dark web, and human trafficking. It is one of the world's major dark organizations."

"Then why did you give this assassin to Qian Haoran?" Cao Kun asked, somewhat puzzled.

Logically, shouldn't they just kill them outright?

"It's alright, boss, I've already trained them all," Spirit Fox said with a smile.

"We have dealt with the Unification Association many times before. Although they are strong, they are no match for us. We are absolutely safe in the country."

"Besides, this assassin is just a lowly Karami. Will the United Front turn against us because of him?"

Cao Kun was finally relieved.

After the fox spirit left, Qian Haoran dawdled and went to Cao Kun's side again.

Touching the metallic body of the G650, he said somewhat reluctantly, "Boss, we made a promise, right? When you go back to Changteng, I have to borrow this car for a while."

Cao Kun was too lazy to deal with this oddball, and just waved his hand, telling him to take the person away quickly.

After Qian Haoran left, the garage returned to silence.

Fu Die looked at Cao Kun, her expression regaining its competence: "Boss, there's another small matter I need to report."

"explain."

"Zeng Gang's Zengji Private Kitchen has completely closed down."

Cao Kun raised an eyebrow slightly, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Oh? It fell so quickly?"

"Yes, the new shop he acquired has also stopped operating. Dozens of people are surrounding him demanding their wages, and it's causing quite a stir."

Cao Kun chuckled, suddenly becoming interested.

He said to Die, "Call Wang Meng, let's go take a look together."

"Okay, boss."

……

In the center of Jinning, at the entrance of Zengji Private Kitchen No. 2.

The scaffolding used for renovation still had a red banner that read "Zengji Private Kitchen No. 2" hanging on it, but the ground was a mess.

Cement bags and fragments of floor tiles were everywhere, and even the glass door had been removed.

A dozen or so employees formed a circle, trapping Zeng Gang and Pang Lijuan in the middle.

The crowd was agitated, their faces filled with anger.

"Mr. Zeng, you finally have to settle your wages, it's been over two months!"

"Nobody's eating at the restaurant anymore, and we're still coming to stand guard every day. How can you keep dragging this out until now?"

"Yeah, last time you said there would be a bonus for opening a new store, where's the money!?"

Zeng Gang was sweating profusely with anxiety. He clasped his hands together and pleaded:

"Listen up, everyone! This shop will be reopening soon! If it makes money, you'll all get your full salaries and bonuses!"

But the employees weren't buying it.

"You said that before!"

"That's what I said the time before last!"

"If you were really rich, would we be here blocking your way?"

One person sneered, "Either give us our wages today, or we'll call the police right now!"

"Yes! We'll take you to the police station!"

Zeng Gang, covered in sweat, gave an awkward laugh and pulled out his phone: "Don't worry, I... I'll call right now and borrow money to pay your salaries!"

He dialed the first number: "Hey, Lao Liu, it's Gangzi! I'm not asking you to drink..."

"Um, I'm having a bit of a cash flow problem at my shop right now. Could you lend me 100,000 yuan? I'll be there tomorrow—"

"Feed?! Old Liu? Old Liu, say something!"

"Beep—beep—beep—"

"Damn it! You bastard!" Zeng Gang started cursing angrily.

That bastard Lao Liu, we usually drink and call each other brothers, but when it comes to borrowing money, he just pretends to be deaf.

He made a second call: "Brother Sun, didn't you say you wanted to invest in my new store? Now there's a perfect opportunity—"

The call was immediately disconnected.

The third one, the fourth one...

Every call was rejected for various reasons.

"Brother Gang, my mother-in-law needs money to go to school."

"Brother, my son is pregnant, and I really can't afford it."

Zeng Gang's face grew increasingly grim, and he barely managed to keep his phone from falling to the ground.

The surrounding employees watched coldly as he made one call after another.

Just then, a silver-gray Maybach G650 slowly came to a stop at the street corner.

The car window rolled down, and Cao Kun sat inside, a smile playing on his lips, watching the scene unfold.

Finally, Zeng Gang had no other choice. He rolled his eyes and reached out to take off the thick, dazzling gold chain around his neck.

He smiled apologetically at the waiters surrounding him and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the only gold necklace I have left. What do you think...?"

Before he could finish speaking, a quick-thinking waiter stepped forward, snatched the item, and weighed it in his hand for a few moments.

He frowned, realizing it wasn't enough to cover the owed wages, and immediately turned his gaze to Pang Lijuan standing to the side.

Pang Lijuan was also adorned with jewels and gold and silver jewelry.

When she saw everyone suddenly turn their anger towards her, her face turned deathly pale, and her eyes were filled with terror.

At this moment, Zeng Gang was surrounded and unable to move at all.

Left with no other choice, he could only turn around and earnestly persuade Pang Lijuan:

"Ju, just hand over your gold necklace and let's get this over with, otherwise we'll all be in trouble!"

Pang Liju bit her lip, her face full of reluctance, but under the intense gaze of everyone, she could only reluctantly take off the gold necklace.

But the waiters persisted, insisting that it wasn't enough.

Pang Lijuan immediately shrieked, "He only gave me a gold necklace; all the other jewelry was given to me by others!"

However, the waiters ignored her and swarmed around her, snatching the rest of her jewelry.

Afterwards, as if they had achieved some goal, everyone scattered like birds and beasts.

After the waiters left, Pang Lijuan suddenly threw herself at Zeng Gang, grabbing him tightly and crying, "You have to pay me back for my gold necklace!"

Zeng Gang yelled angrily, "That's what I bought for you!"

Pang Lijuan persisted, "I have other gold jewelry; those were gifts from others!"

Enraged, Zeng Gang shoved Pang Lijuan aside and yelled, "What does it have to do with me if someone else gave it to me?"

After saying that, he turned and left angrily.

Cao Kun, who had been quietly watching everything from inside the car, had a slight smile on his lips.

"Let's go to Jinning Teachers College."

"Okay, boss."

Wang Meng agreed, and the Maybach G650 slowly drove away.

……

Jinning Teachers College.

Lin Xiaotang dragged her suitcase and slowly walked towards the school gate.

She had just finished dealing with all the matters related to her suspension from school and was preparing to leave.

As the scenery on campus receded into the distance, a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.

After all, it was a place where I had spent two and a half years.

But beyond nostalgia, there is a deep longing for a new life.

Lin Xiaotang smiled, her eyes seemingly sparkling.

Compared to her parents, who had become conservative due to their limited knowledge, she knew all too well what kind of opportunity she had seized.

After just a few days of observation and understanding, she immediately became convinced that she had boarded the fast track of life.

If you can seize this opportunity, your future life will no longer be a mediocre one that you can see the end of at a glance.

Lin Xiaotang told herself that she must hold on to Cao Kun, this towering tree!
