Chapter 209
Zhang Bei fell silent for a long time when he heard that casual tone.
I fucking told you not to poach people, so you went out and started kidnapping them instead?
“I need a factory to produce Suxiao Jiuxin Wan.”
The moment Zhang Bei finished speaking, Heizi’s furious roar came from the other end of the line.
“Fuck! Bring me the Anti-Tank Electromagnetic Cannon! They’ve still got the fucking nerve to resist?”
After a brief pause, Heizi finally remembered that he was still on the phone.
“Contact my secretary directly. You should have his number.”
Without giving Zhang Bei any chance to argue, Heizi hung up.
Staring at the call-ended screen, Zhang Bei took several deep breaths in succession.
He couldn’t beat Heizi up. The man was making money for him. If Heizi was gone, Zhang Bei would have to do all the work himself!
Patience brought peace, but the more he backed down, the angrier he became.
After thinking it over for a long while, Zhang Bei called the secretary directly.
“Come to the Amusement Park now. I have something for you to handle.”
The rustling of documents came from the other end of the line.
“Yes, Boss. I’ll be right there!”
Zhang ‘Petty’ Bei narrowed his eyes as he began plotting an elaborate spectacle for Heizi.
Before long, a bespectacled man hurried into the Amusement Park.
He looked around thirty, but was actually only twenty-three.
Ever since Heizi established his security company, every matter, large or small, had fallen on this man’s shoulders.
What kind of CEO spent every day hanging around with mercenaries?
Now, the automobile company and materials company under Heizi, along with every business Heizi had invested in, were all his responsibility as well.
He was clearly only in his twenties, yet the workload had worn him down until he looked like a remarkably spry old man.
“Boss, you wanted to see me?”
Zhang Bei nodded. “Acquire a factory. I want to produce Suxiao Jiuxin Wan.”
“What about the patent?”
“I’ll give you the formula. Register it yourself.”
The secretary swiftly noted everything down.
“Do you want me to find someone to manage the factory as well?”
“I’m leaving all of it to you. I only want the finished product.”
Snap!
The secretary crushed the ballpoint pen in his hand.
Through gritted teeth, he forced out, “Understood!”
Zhang Bei glanced at the shattered pen and found the secretary’s gaze oddly familiar.
There seemed to be someone at the amusement park who wore that same expression all year round.
“There’s one more thing. I’m planning to screw Heizi over, and I need your help.”
The secretary’s eyes instantly lit up with excitement.
“How are we screwing him over?”
Zhang Bei explained his plan in detail.
The secretary’s expression went from excitement to confusion, and finally to one filled with murderous intent.
“Don’t worry, Boss. Leave this to me!”
“All right. Go make the arrangements.”
The secretary strode away with imposing vigor, looking every inch the CEO.
The entire day flew by. The new project once again sent the slowly rising Emotional Value skyrocketing.
The thrill of matching wits with other people was fully unleashed through the new project’s experience.
The good guys had to prove their innocence, search for clues, and avoid being hunted down by the evil ghost.
The Mole not only had to hide their identity but also find ways to eliminate any good guys who suspected them.
The hardest part was having to guard against teammates stabbing you in the back from time to time.
As for the Seer, the only one in the entire game, their spawn location was completely random.
They might spawn directly in the middle of a crowd, or they might be locked inside a room like the Doctor.
For anyone unfortunate enough to suffer the latter, Zhang Bei could only suppress his laughter and offer an apology.
Fifteen minutes later, the Doctor opened his eyes while lying on a wooden plank bed in the Morgue.
As he recalled what had happened before he passed out, bewilderment welled up inside him.
Why?
Why did I have to endure this kind of suffering?
This was the 1,833rd time this month he’d regretted signing that contract.
As for the development of the new project, no one enjoyed it more than the two old professors.
Eager to experience the fun for themselves as soon as possible, the two of them moved their legs even faster than the doctors could keep up with.
The entire day passed amid the doctors’ furious roars and the two old professors’ gleeful laughter.
As the sky gradually darkened, the secretary successfully picked Heizi up from the airport.
After spending the entire day running around, Heizi had no idea what was waiting for him.
“You told me there was something wrong with the car. What exactly happened?”
The secretary shook his head. “You’ll understand when we get there.”
Heizi raised an eyebrow. Seeing the secretary focused on driving, he said nothing and closed his eyes to rest.
He’d been worked to the bone today. Demon Court Security was about to fight a major battle.
To replenish the ranks of its suicide squad, he’d spent the past few days leading his men around the world, capturing mercenaries.
Of course, the fact that he wanted to have some fun himself accounted for most of his enthusiasm.
After all, what man hadn’t dreamed of charging through a battlefield with bullets flying all around him?
The car drove all the way into the amusement park. To make sure the plan went smoothly, Zhang Bei had turned off every light.
The secretary took a deep breath. Glancing at Heizi, whose eyes were still closed, he quietly picked up a spray bottle.
“Psssh!”
A thick cloud of mist instantly engulfed Heizi’s face.
“What are… are… you doing?”
His voice grew weaker with every word, and then he slumped unconscious.
The secretary rolled down the window and nodded at Boss Zhang, who was sitting nearby.
A broad smile spread across Zhang Bei’s face. Together with the secretary, he carried Heizi into Another Life.
They expertly fastened the equipment onto him, then Zhang Bei pulled the secretary over to sit beside him.
Ten minutes later, images gradually appeared on the tablet.
Heizi rubbed his head and opened his eyes groggily.
What the hell? Someone ambushed me?
He sprang to his feet and immediately surveyed his surroundings.
He was in a simple room piled high with firewood. The windowpane was nowhere to be seen.
In the moonlight, he could just make out that the house was built of wood.
Beyond the window was a fairly large courtyard, where springwater trickled down an artificial rockery.
“Are you crazy? Get down!”
The voice by his ear made Heizi turn his head.
A young man in coarse cloth clothes was huddled in the corner, a foul odor wafting from his body.
Heizi’s brain ground to a halt for several seconds.
What happened?
Where am I?
Can someone please explain what’s going on?
Did I get transported to another world?
The young man in the corner lowered his voice. “Get down! It’s coming!”
Heizi followed his gaze through the window and saw a dark silhouette carrying a lantern as it approached.
Since he was already here, he might as well roll with it. Heizi lay down on the firewood, ready to see what would happen next.
Under the moonlight, a human head poked through the window.
After seeing that both men were lying quietly, it slowly withdrew and left.
Once the figure had gone, Heizi was about to ask the young man beside him where they were when voices that did not belong to him suddenly rang out inside his head.
“It still isn’t working?”
“No. Three hundred years is already the limit for Memory Rewind.”
“Should we wake him up, then?”
“He doesn’t have long to live anyway. Let him wake up on his own.”
The exchange left Heizi utterly dumbfounded.
Wait. I understand every single word you’re saying, so why can’t I make any sense of them when you string them together?
The figure huddled in the corner cautiously poked his head out.
“Hurry! We can’t stay here!”
