I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

Luo Fei gripped his phone tightly in his right hand, listening to Yamamoto Ichiro's smug voice on the other end.

Life is unpredictable; no one can say for sure what unexpected events might occur tomorrow.

These suggestive words instantly dispelled all his doubts, and his eyes suddenly turned icy cold.

"Ichiro Yamamoto."

He pronounced the name slowly and deliberately.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, followed by a surprised voice: "Mr. Luo Fei, have you changed your mind?"

Luo Fei didn't waste any more words: "I'll come to Shanghai to find you. You just wait and see."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Yamamoto Ichiro's voice filled with ecstatic joy: "Mr. Luo Fei, you've finally come to your senses! That's wonderful! When are you arriving? I'll personally pick you up! Our Yamamoto Corporation will definitely offer you the most generous terms, guaranteeing your satisfaction, and we will absolutely not treat you unfairly..."

Luo Fei didn't listen to his endless rambling and hung up the phone immediately.

I put my phone away, stepped on the gas, and sped off toward the county hospital.

The top floor of a high-end office building in Shanghai.

Yamamoto Ichiro put down his phone, leaned back in the large boss's chair, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He stretched and looked out the window at the bustling city skyline.

"I thought it would be much more difficult to deal with."

He muttered to himself, a smug smile playing on his lips.

"I couldn't even handle the first one."

He picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

"It's a pity about that woman; she was quite attractive."

He clicked his tongue, his tone tinged with regret, but without a trace of guilt.

"But it doesn't matter, as long as the goal is achieved."

He put down his coffee, picked up the phone, and dialed the headquarters number.

The call was quickly connected, and Masao Yamamoto's voice came from the other end.

"How is the situation?"

Yamamoto Ichiro said with a smile.

"President, that person has agreed to come to Shanghai to discuss cooperation."

Masao Yamamoto was silent for a second.

"You resorted to underhanded tactics?"

Yamamoto Ichiro nodded.

"Yes. I just called him and gave him a slight hint, and he understood. He should be heading towards Shanghai now."

Masao Yamamoto's voice carried a hint of satisfaction.

"Well done. Remember, whatever conditions he proposes, agree to them first. Once we have the shares, everything else will be easier to handle."

Yamamoto Ichiro bowed.

"Hi!"

After hanging up the phone, he leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling, his smile growing wider.

But what he couldn't see was that behind that smile lay an abyss.

County hospital, emergency room.

Luo Fei, holding the laptop he had taken from the ring, strode through the corridor to his aunt's hospital room.

Two young men in plain clothes stood at the door. They nodded slightly when they saw Luo Fei.

"Mr. Luo."

Luo Fei nodded and pushed open the door to enter.

In the ward, Luo Yumei was sitting on the hospital bed, wearing a hospital gown with her own sun protection clothing over it.

The clothes had several tears, and the hem was also torn.

She herself seemed to be fine.

His face was still a little pale, and he was talking to a nurse next to him.

Upon seeing Luo Fei enter, Luo Yumei's eyes lit up instantly: "Xiao Fei!"

Luo Fei strode over, sat down on the chair beside the bed, placed the computer aside, and whispered to Luo Yumei, "Auntie, don't move. How are you feeling?"

Luo Yumei shook her head and forced a smile: "I'm fine, nothing at all. The doctor gave me a full check-up and said all my indicators were normal. I was just a little frightened, and I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

She paused, then looked down at herself.

"The clothes are just torn."

Luo Fei scrutinized her carefully.

There were indeed no external injuries.

Although his face was still a little pale, his breathing was steady and he was very conscious.

The nurse standing nearby also sighed in amazement.

"It's a miracle. We saw the state of the car when we arrived; it was almost completely totaled. The people inside weren't injured at all, just had some torn clothes. We couldn't believe it."

The security personnel at the entrance also came in.

"Mr. Luo, we were also very surprised. The truck hit us from the side, and normally the driver would have been seriously injured. We even... we were prepared for the worst. But Ms. Luo is really alright, it's a stroke of luck."

Luo Fei nodded.

He knew what was going on.

Luo Yumei looked at him and suddenly reached out her hand.

In the palm of my hand was a thin red string.

It was the red string that originally held the protective jade amulet.

The rope was still there, but the jade talisman was gone.

Only a few fine powder fragments remained, still clinging to the red string.

"Xiaofei, look," Luo Yumei said, "the jade talisman you gave me is broken."

Her eyes held a mixture of surprise and lingering fear.

"When the car accident happened, I felt a warmth in my chest, and then that jade..."

Luo Fei stared at the powder and remained silent for a while.

Then he reached into his pocket, a thought forming in his mind.

A new protective jade amulet appeared in his palm from his storage ring.

He handed the jade talisman to Luo Yumei.

"Auntie, put this on."

Luo Yumei was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with surprise: "There's more?"

Luo Fei nodded: "Yes, you should wear this close to your body and never take it off, no matter what happens."

Luo Yumei nodded solemnly: "Okay."

She took the jade talisman, put it close to her body, and then gently patted her chest.

Luo Fei smiled faintly.

Just then, the ward door was pushed open again, and Old Wu strode in.

His complexion was not good, and his eyes were slightly red, but he exuded a sharp aura.

Upon seeing Luo Fei, he walked over.

"Mr. Luo."

Luo Fei stood up, gave him a wink, and signaled to go outside to talk.

Old Wu understood immediately, silently turned around and walked out of the ward.

Luo Fei told his aunt to rest well, and then he went to chat with his friend before leaving the ward with Lao Wu.

Old Wu walked to the window at the end of the corridor, looked at Luo Fei who was following behind, and took a deep breath.

"Mr. Luo, I'm sorry. It was our failure to protect you properly."

He lowered his head.

"Our people couldn't stop the truck after Ms. Luo's car accident."

Luo Fei reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Old Wu, this isn't your fault."

His voice was calm.

"You've done your best."

Old Wu looked up, his eyes even redder.

"We lost one brother, and another is seriously wounded..."

Luo Fei looked at him.

"How is that seriously injured brother?"

Old Wu shook his head vigorously, his face full of worry: "They're still trying to save him. I've already contacted the best experts in the city, and they're on their way here."

Luo Fei remained silent for a while.

"We must do everything we can to save him."

"Tell me what you need."

Old Wu nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Luo."

He paused, then continued.

"The matter has been reported. The higher-ups are taking it very seriously and have assigned national security personnel to investigate. The driver is still at large, and we should have results soon."

Luo Fei looked at him.

"I already know who did it."

Old Wu's eyes narrowed.

"Who is it?"

Luo Fei didn't answer directly; he looked out the window.

"They're after me."

Old Wu's expression changed.

"Mr. Luo, you mean...?"

Luo Fei turned his head and looked at him.

"Old Wu, I'd appreciate it if you could take extra care to protect your family during this period of time."

"Their safety is in your hands."

Old Wu's expression turned serious, and he nodded emphatically.

"Mr. Luo, rest assured, we will do our best."

Luo Fei nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work."

He turned around, went back to the ward, turned on the computer, connected to the hospital network, and used his hacking skills to find Yamamoto Ichiro's location using his phone number.

After shutting down the computer, he said softly to Luo Yumei, "Aunt, please rest well. I have something to do and need to go out for a bit."

Luo Yumei looked at him, her eyes filled with worry: "Xiaofei, where are you going? Has something happened?"

Luo Fei smiled.

"I'm just going to take care of some errands. I'll be right back."

Luo Yumei opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she just nodded.

"Then be careful."

Luo Fei hummed in agreement, then turned and walked out of the ward.

Old Wu was waiting at the door.

"Mr. Luo, where are you going? Do you need me to send someone with you?"

Luo Fei shook his head.

"Need not."

He paused.

"I can go by myself."

What else did Lao Wu want to say?

But looking into Luo Fei's somewhat cold eyes, he swallowed his words.

That's just a statement.

"Then please be careful."

Luo Fei nodded, went to the stairwell, and instead of taking the elevator, he walked up the stairs all the way to the top floor.

Pushing open the door to the top floor, a blast of hot air hits you.

The hospital rooftop was spacious, with several air conditioner outdoor units humming.

In the distance, one can see the buildings of varying heights and the bustling streets of the county town.

As dusk approached, the magnificent sunset painted the distant clouds a vibrant orange-red, a breathtaking sight.

Luo Fei walked to the edge of the rooftop, put the computer into his ring, took out his phone, found Yang Zhenguo's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang twice before being answered.

"Instructor Luo?" Yang Zhenguo's voice came through, tinged with surprise. "Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

Luo Fei's voice was calm.

"Brigadier, there's something I need to report to you."

Yang Zhenguo paused for a moment.

"What is it?"

Luo Fei said.

"I'm going to Shanghai and Japan."

"Fly there yourself."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Then Yang Zhenguo's voice rang out, tinged with a hint of helplessness.

"Okay, I understand. I'll report this to my superiors."

Luo Fei said.

"it is good."

He hung up the phone and used his phone's navigation to confirm the approximate direction.

Standing on the edge of the rooftop, I looked at the sun about to sink below the horizon in the distance.

The Qi within the body began to flow slowly.

He took a deep breath.

"Bang!"

A muffled explosion rang out. Luo Fei's body shot into the air like an arrow released from a bow, hurtling towards the darkening sky.

Behind them, the county hospital rapidly shrank in size.

Ahead lies the direction of Shanghai.
