“Then alright!” Guo Qing knew my personality, so he didn’t fight over it with me, and said. “I’ll get my subordinate to get us a few entrance tickets for the auction!”

During that night, Guo Qing and I carefully decided our plan for the next day… Wakaka, the Chen family can just wait to cry.

Within recent months, Guo Qing has already become a famous person in Hong Kong’s business industry, as long as they were in Hong Kong, there was no one that didn’t know Guo Qing! You can not know the Chief Executive, you can not know the current trending stars, but you can’t not know Guo Qing, or else, that’s using your turning your financial future as a joke, turning your life into a joke!

That’s why, when Guo Qing appeared in the auction place, everyone there started guessing about Guo Qing’s intentions. When they knew that Guo Qing appeared as the chairman of the newly established Three Rock Real Estates, some people that wanted to participate in the auction directly left. The remaining people only hoped that Guo Qing came for the crowd, and because the allure of these two pieces of land is truly too great!

“Secretary Chen, what do you think the Three Rock Gang means by establishing this real estate company?” In a place not far away, a young man who looked more than deserving of a beating asked the person beside him. This person was obviously Chen Zelong!

“Young Master, the real estate industry still has a lot of profit, if it wasn’t for our family, I think the Azure Gang would have set foot in it as well!” said Secretary Chen.

“****, this Azure Gang, laozi gives them so much money every year, yet they can’t even beat a foreign gang!” Chen Zelong swore angrily.

“Be quieter, Young Master, it would be bad for us if someone from the Three Rock Gang heard that!” Secretary Chen reminded him carefully.

“Scared your ***! Laozi has tons of money. Worst comes to worst, we’ll smash them to death with a hundred million!” Chen Zelong said without caring a single bit.

Secretary Chen shook his head and didn’t say anything. He had wanted to advise Chen Zelong a bit more, but then he thought about it and found that Chen Zelong was right. If worst came to worst, they could just buy off the Three Rock Gang like they did the Azure Gang. In their minds, the mobs couldn’t possibly be too rich, how could they compare to the Chen family! However, their thoughts couldn’t be more wrong.

“The first piece of land is in Yau Ma Tei, the precise details are in the auction booklet. The starting price of this is two hundred and thirty million…” said the auctioneer.

Actually, neither this piece of land, nor the one in Kowloon was very good. Its size wasn’t very big, but it was close to the sea, so it was rather ideal to build a mansion.

“Three…” Just as the auctioneer finished speaking, a fatty tried to raise the price up to three hundred million, but before he could finish, Guo Qing stood up and heavily coughed.

“Hai! I call two hundred and forty million!” Guo Qing said slow and calmly.

The fatty quickly retracted his sign in shock, nearly getting a heart attack whilst doing so. He internally screamed about how lucky he was for having good reflexes, otherwise, if they raised the price because of him, he wouldn’t even know how he disappeared from this planet.

All those remaining real estate agents immediately forgot about their wish to make a bid after seeing Guo Qing call out first. They did not want to have enough money to buy the land, but not have the life to build houses on it.

“****, how does he have so much money!” Chen Zelong swore in anger.

“…” Secretary Chen didn’t understand how this Three Rock Gang had so much money. You have to know, the Azure Gang only earned several tens of thousands per year.

“Secretary Chen, do we call out a price?” Although Chen Zelong was spoilt and proud, he was terrified of dying as well. Currently, the Three Rock Gang and their Chen’s Corporation didn’t have many interactions, but who knew what these mobs might do.

“Never mind, give him this land, we’ll spend our efforts on the next one!” said Secretary Chen.

Thus, Guo Qing successfully acquired the first piece of land. This was exactly the same as the plan we decided on the previous day.

Although the second piece of land was larger than the first and was in a better position, due to it being a problematic piece of land, the price was even lower than the first. However, everyone on the scene knew that it was a business district, and the business value it could bring about was endless.

After the auctioneer announced the second piece of land, the real estate developers all silently and sneakily looked towards Guo Qing. No one dared to call out a price first. However, Guo Qing acted like nothing was going on, as if this piece of land had nothing to do with him, and instead started chatting with the subordinate next to him.

On the other hand, I, who sat not too far away from Guo Qing broke the silence, raised up my sign and shouted out, “Five hundred million!”

The minimum price was a hundred and forty million, yet I directly raised the price to five hundred million. At this time, I represented a different company to Guo Qing, so, on the surface, we were two groups of people who didn’t know each other. The company I represented was a newly established construction company from the mainland.

Everyone looked at me weirdly, but when they saw the name of my company, they understood and thought to themselves. So it’s a new company from the mainland, no wonder he dared to be the first to call out a price!

They had thought that Guo Qing would continue to bid or trouble them, but they never would have dreamt that even after a long while, Guo Qing still wouldn’t take any actions. At this moment, the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer on the price. The auctioneer was very confused as well, he knew what Guo Qing does, so it was normal for no one to compete with him for the first piece of land, yet he had never seen the person who called out the price for the second piece of land.

Only then did the real estate developers finally realize that Guo Qing had no interest in the second piece of land. Thus, they quickly started competing.

“A billion!” Chen Zelong immediately joined the fray after seeing the Three Rock Gang not join in for the second piece of land.

However, the other developers weren’t just for show, everyone knew about the potential value of that piece of land. Although Chen Zelong called out one billion, the fatty who had tried to call out a price for the first piece of land immediately raised his sign and shouted, “1.1 billion!”

“1.2 billion!” Chen Zelong called out without any hesitation as he swore in his heart, ‘Damn fatty, normally you call us bros, and now you’re fighting over land with me!’

“1.3 billion!’ The fatty wiped away his sweat and said while clenching his teeth.

“1.5 billion!” Chen Zelong had already lost one piece of land, he was fully determined to get the second piece.

The fatty thought about it, then finally put down his sign. Although there was still profit to be made at a higher price, the fatty couldn’t pay that much money for the land.

“1.6 billion!” I raised up my sign and said.

Only then, did Chen Zelong finally notice me. He clenched his teeth and said to Secretary Chen, “So it’s that brat! I was wondering why he looked so familiar just now!”

“Young Master, this person seems very influential in the mainland, we got silently screwed over by him,” Secretary Chen reminded.

Hearing him say that, I couldn’t help but look towards Lyles. Could this old man be someone important on their planet? He doesn’t look like it!

However, that wasn’t any of my business.

“Anyways, little fellow, if, I’m saying if you get the chance to visit our Planet Animas, I will welcome you with our greatest honor to thank you for your help towards me!” Lyles nodded solemnly and said. “Okay, we have left our planet for twenty-six days. We have to hurry back, otherwise some trouble might arise!”

I faint… It seems like this fellow really is someone important! However, this basically had nothing to do with me. No matter how amazing this support is, he’s someone who lives several billion light years away.

As I waved my hand, the spaceship let out a dazzling light and slowly rose up from the ground. There was no air flow at all, it spun around once in the air to signal their farewell to me, then disappeared into the horizon.

I shook my head, this was essentially like a dream! I had to look at the disk on my hand to make sure that it was real.

I placed it somewhere safe on me, then with a teleportation, I was in Hong Kong, which was known as Asia’s greatest port.

Although I didn’t have any registration for entering the borders, Guo Qing had already helped me prepare the necessary identification. However, it should be noted that even without it, no one would disturb us with Guo Qing’s current position in Hong Kong.

“Boss, I missed you so much!” Seeing me, Guo Qing gave me an intimate hug.

“Hello, Chief!” There was a group of black suited subordinates behind Guo Qing who immediately went up and greeted me.

“Chief?” I asked in confusion.

“Boss, you’re Chief! I feel like titles like Old Ancestor is a bit too… Since all the international mobs like to call their leaders chief, I just decided for them to call you that!” Guo Qing smiled.

“Hai hai!” I nearly choked to death. However, I should just let it be, it’s so much better than Old Ancestor and the likes.

“Chief, please get on the car,” At this moment, an extra-long Hongqi limousine stopped beside me. Behind this car were ten odd cars of the same model.

“Not bad, you’ve got good taste here!” I looked at the luxurious car filled with our characteristics happily.

The by-standers all looked over, and upon seeing the reception, those who didn’t know were wondering which international company’s director came to Hong Kong.

However, it seems like I was one of those people!

Guo Qing and I got on the first car that had the car plate “Three Rock Corporation 00”. This car plate was like the car plates of many famous people, they were specifically applied for and also demonstrated the position of the car owner within the society.

The car squad slowly moved along the road at a constant pace. Even when they encountered red lights, they would directly go past them.

“****, Old Zhang, look, that car squad ran a red light, let’s hurry up and stop them!” On the side of the road, a police on a motorbike got pissed off immediately after seeing more than one car run a red light.

“Old Wu, leave it. I think you should go and get a pair of glasses tomorrow! Just what kind of eyes do you have! Haven’t you seen what their car plate is, how do you dare to stop them!” Old Zhang, who was standing on the side, mocked him.

“****, what car plate! I don’t believe that there’s any car in Hong Kong that you and I don’t dare to stop! Both your old man and my old man are police chiefs, are we scared of anyone?” said Old Wu.

“Heng, that car belongs to the Three Rock Corporation, even their 00 car is there. Just think about who’s on it!” Old Zhang shook his head and said.

“What! Three Rock Corporation!” Old Wu immediately shut up. They, as motorcycle police, knew clearly what the Three Rock Corporation did. Even the largest gang in Hong Kong, the Azure Gang, had to submit, what could they say!

“Boss, there is an auction for two pieces of land tomorrow. According to reliable news, Chen’s Corporation borrowed two billion from the bank, it could be said that they were determined to get it!” said Guo Qing when we arrived at the hotel.

“Oh? Then let’s participate in the auction tomorrow and get these two pieces of land,” I immediately said after hearing it.

“En, the position of these two pieces of land are pretty good, we’ll definitely make a profit after getting them!” Guo Qing said. “However, one of the pieces of land has a bit of an issue…”

“What’s the issue?” I suddenly realized that this might be a great chance to mess with the Chen family.

“Due to historical reasons, one of the pieces that’s in Kowloon does not allow buildings that are more than three floors!” Guo Qing explained.

“Since it’s like this, then why is the Chen family buying this piece of land? Does he not know? That’s not quite possible, right!” I asked.

“That’s is true, the Chen family knew about it ages ago. However, the position of that piece of land is great, they will earn a lot if they build a business tower or a residential area there!” said Guo Qing.

“However, since there’s an issue with the land itself, no matter how good it is, it’s not much use!” I exclaimed.

“Here is a bit different from the mainland, whether they can build a tall tower is just decided by the planning department. I think that the Chen family has already used their inside contacts. Once they get the land, the department will change the regulations!” Guo Qing said.

“Does the ICAC not care?” I remember seeing on the television that Hong Kong’s ICAC is amazing.

“Hehe, they usually hide it rather well, leaving no evidence behind. What’s more, with the Chen family’s current influence in Hong Kong, not many people will offend them!” Guo Qing said. “Since they just returned to the country, they still have the capitalist market.”

I nodded, thought about it and asked, “Is the news of the Chen family borrowing two billion accurate?”

“It is, the bank he borrowed it from is coincidentally within our Three Rock Gang’s region. Although the people in the bank are all with the Chen family, he doesn’t dare to hide what the Three Rock Gang wants to know! What’s more, they don’t know that Chen Zelong pissed us off in the mainland,” said Guo Qing.

“That’s good, then we’ll participate in this auction tomorrow! We’ll make him lose everything,” I said.

“Alright, Boss, I’ll transfer five billion over so we can toy them to death,” said Guo Qing.

I waved my hand, “Guozi, the development of the Three Rock Gang needs money as well. Don’t worry about the money, I have enough.”

“Boss, that’s where you’re wrong, isn’t my money yours?” said Guo Qing.

I felt really moved, this person was my only bro since I was reborn. Our relationship was beyond what words could describe.

“Hehe, what I mean is that we’re going to make the Chen family bankrupt, how is five billion enough!” I smiled.

“Ah! Boss… The Three Rock Gang can only take out so much from its liquid funds, it’s at most 5.5 billion!” Guo Qing said in a troubled manner.

“That’s why I said that your money should be left for developing the gang. I, your boss, have the money!” I patted Guo Qing’s shoulder and said.

Hearing that, I nearly leaped up in excitement! Although I was someone who had travelled back from the future, the technology I possessed was only from several tens of years in the future. However, the Animasian technology was more advanced than mine by who knows how many times!

“What can I do to help you?” I calmed myself down and asked.

“Let me introduce myself first, I’m called Lyles, the engineer on the spaceship is called Kirk, please forgive him for not coming out to welcome you. His personality is really weird, hehe! Although our spaceship is very advanced, the unknown shock in space used up all of our energy, and the energy on the spaceship now is only enough to maintain some signal sending,” said the alien elder.

“I’m called Liu Lei. What is the energy source of your spaceship, it can’t be oil, right?” I asked.

“Oil? Of course not! We have already eliminated this sort of rare thing that produces a lot of pollution several thousand years ago!” Lyles replied. “Our fuel is freshwater. However, it is all ice around here, and our current remaining energy is unable to melt them!”

My god! I was wondering how hard it would be to get fuel for them. So it’s that easy! The ice in the Antarctic was all freshwater, I just needed to think of a way to melt it!

“Since all of our equipment uses freshwater as the fuel, none of the heating equipment is functioning. As long as you help me get 5 kilograms of water, that’s enough to get my equipment functioning again!” Lyles continued.

“So it’s like this! Then what about your food?” I asked.

“Hehe! You don’t have to worry about that, our technology is very advanced, it can produce a lot of food using atom conversion through absorbing all sorts of elements! Although it isn’t as delicious as natural food, it is very useful for us space voyagers! Furthermore, it can prevent our body from taking in some unhealthy elements!” Lyles explained. “As long as we have fuel, we can do anything!”

****! This technology was truly advanced. I started to plan in my heart, if I get it and opened a food company… These were completely healthy products with zero pollution! This was too profitable!

I nodded, isn’t it simple to get water! 5 kilograms of water would be able to get me a bunch of alien technology and the thanks of the Animasians, this was super worth it! My luck is truly amazing! It really can’t be helped!

I walked to a wall of ice not far away and started using my superpowers. Entering my super-powered mode, the temperature of my hands instantly rose to five hundred degrees Celsius, causing large amounts to melt off the wall of ice.

Lyles’s face once again showed a shocked expression. He thought to himself, the people on this planet are too powerful, right? If this hand struck someone, wouldn’t they immediately turn into gas!?

When a large pool of water appeared in the valley of ice, Lyles shouted, “Alright, alright! Enough, any more and we will sink to the bottom of the ocean!”

Since I was too occupied with getting excited as I thought about what I could get, I didn’t pay attention at all. When I looked down, I couldn’t help but become shocked, and quickly retracted my hands.

Lyles joyously ran back to the spaceship. When he came back down again, it was with a young man. I think he’s the Kirk that Lyles spoke about! Kirk looked at the melted ice excitedly and ran over, then started using something like a pump to suck it all up, which instantly sucked up all the water.

This time, it was my turn to be dumbfounded! I pointed at the small water pump, which was the size of a fast food lunch box, and said in surprise, “Such a small thing can actually hold so much water!!”

Kirk gave a rare smile, “What’s there to be surprised about! There is another dimension in here, technically, it is infinitely large.”

Another dimension! Why does it feel like the storage ring or treasure bag in novels!

“Little fellow, you gave us a lot of help, I won’t go back on my promise. I will teach you the technology from our Planet Animas, the creation of this subdimension is actually the easiest technology!” said Lyles.

It was truly too profitable this time, this was a super treasure. In the future, when I go and travel with my beauty wifeys, even if I brought my entire home with me, it would be just the size of a little box.

“Alright, little fellow. Please forgive me for calling you little fellow, your name is truly too weird. Hehe! Please come with us onto the spaceship!” said Lyles.

I nodded, the names of the people from Huaxia were rather special, they were very weird in the eyes of westerners as well.

The interior of the spaceship wasn’t very big, but it was very organized. There were rows of electronic screens that were made from material that even I, someone who had returned from the future, couldn’t tell. When the screens were booted up, the scenery outside could still be seen clearly, as if it was seen with the naked eye. There wasn’t any different at all.

The other screens showed the picture of a position and some text. Lyles walked in front of a machine like a computer, and reached out his hand to type a row of commands on the input device. After around five minutes, he took out a small disk similar to a CD, then said to Kirk, “Kirk, you’re in charge of translating this information into the language of this planet.”

Kirk immediately nodded, received the disk, then started busying himself.

“You can translate it into the text from our country?” I asked in surprise.

“Of course, I already sent out a harvesting satellite that can instantly gather this planet’s cultural history, technological level, etc. Furthermore, our satellite can directly read information from your computers, without needing any medium or admin authorization!” said Lyles.

“Then how do you feel about our current technological level?” I asked in curiosity. A person’s curiosity was intense, even if I knew that we weren’t as great as them, I still needed to ask.

“Hehe, sorry, I feel like… it’s nothing. It’s like our planet… three hundred years ago!” Lyles smiled apologetically.

I shrugged, signally my understanding. Kirk came out from the workshop very quickly and handed me the disk, “Alright, I processed this disk. It can be directly plugged into the USB drive of your planet’s computers. The information inside has already been translated into the language of Huaxia!”

I received the disk and immediately thanked them. This was a treasure!

Kirk waved his hand and said, “This is what you deserve. Actually, we feel like it’s not enough to express our sincere thanks to you! You don’t know, Pre.. Lyles… His identity is very important on our planet!”

I gave a call to Uncle Zhao to tell him that I would be delaying the journey to Hong Kong for a few days. He didn’t ask for the reason, since he knew that I had some sort of important business.

After I came out of the washroom, I saw Liu Yue standing at the entrance looking at me.

“Why did you come out?” I laughed dryly, as if my secret was seen through.

“I feel like you’re acting really weird today, so I came out to see if anything happened to you!” said Liu Yue.

“No, it’s just that I’m kinda annoyed with the Daxing Gang’s stuff!” The thing about aliens was a secret, I couldn’t even let the people around me know casually.

Liu Yue looked at me in confusion, as if she didn’t quite believe what I said. However, she didn’t ask anything else. This was how this woman was smart, she knew what should be asked, and what shouldn’t be.

That night, I slept with Chen Weier in my arms. Without dealing with Zhao Yanyan’s issue, I didn’t have the interest to do anything else. Chen Weier also understood me very well, so she just silently lay in my embrace.

This was my first proper sleep in recent days. I didn’t know how long it would take when I planned to go straight to Antarctica the following day, then go directly to Hong Kong after that, so I didn’t want to leave any regrets for Chen Weier. Ever since I arrived at Yanjing city, this was our first intimate contact.

“Hubby, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Yanyan-meimei,” Chen Weier didn’t know that I was going to Antarctica, she just thought that I was going to Hong Kong to deal with the Chen family.

“En,” I nodded. “I’ll trouble you in this period of time!”

“Hubby, what trouble, this is what Weier should do! The relationship between Yanyan-meimei and I are like real sisters, taking care of my own sister is what I should do!” Chen Weier said to me softly. “What’s more, Liu Yue will also help. Ai! I just don’t know if Yanyan-meimei can forgive her, I think that Liu Yue is a very good girl deep inside, she was just impulsive that day…”

The moment she mentioned Liu Yue, my heart sank. I didn’t know how to face this girl. Whatever, I’ll stop thinking about it. I’ll leave it all until after Zhao Yanyan woke up!

Seeing that I didn’t say anything, Chen Weier also guessed what I was thinking and didn’t bring it up anymore.

“Hubby, you must be careful when you get to Hong Kong, don’t be like how you were in Songjiang last time, or else I’ll be worried! Last time, you helped me get even. You almost couldn’t come back from Liu Zhenhai’s place!” Chen Weier said worriedly.

“Hehe! Your hubby, me, isn’t just stronger than then by onefold! What’s more, Guo Qing’s there, nothing will happen!” I patted Chen Weier’s cheek and said.

The next morning, I got Du Xiaowei to help me prepare the necessary equipment I needed when I was adventuring. Although I am confident that I didn’t need these with my powers, it was better to be safe. Oh, on that note, ever since Du Xiaowei returned from City S with me, I sent him to South Africa to start a bodyguard company, which is also a mercenary company. This was because this brat was very familiar with South Africa (No ****, he nearly died there, could he not be familiar with it!). What’s more, with my powerful financial backing, this company called the Iron Blood Mercenary Group quickly became famous in the industry. One of the services of this mercenary company was providing safety and defense consulting for adventuring teams. They had had all of the leading equipment needed to go on an adventure in the South Pole.

From the looks of modern transport, it was impossible to have a plane that went to the South Pole, but this didn’t stop me. I found a place without any people and directly used my powers to enter my super power mode. Then with a teleport, I appeared near the target at the South Pole. Since the surrounding areas were all valleys of ice, it wasn’t easy at all to find an alien spaceship. However, it wasn’t too difficult to me. I used my superpowers and sent out a brain wave encoded with the same space code as the one Fatty Wu showed me, essentially saying that I was an intelligent lifeform from this planet, and had arrived after receiving the request for help.

Not long later, I got a reply. The other side replied back with an encoded message using my brain wave, telling me of their exact location. It turned out that they were actually in a small ice valley less than a kilometer in front of me.

Since there weren’t any bystanders here, I didn’t need to hide anything, so I directly teleported and arrived at the bottom of that ice valley where I saw the spaceship from a foreign galaxy on a hill of ice.

This spaceship was very similar to the legendary UFO, it was in a disk shape. The size of it wasn’t too big, it was slightly larger than a helicopter. When I got closer, a small door opened from the smooth surface of the disc, from which an elder who looked exactly the same as a human walked out. The only different was that he was wearing some sort of radio headset on his head.

“Hello, are you a lifeform of this planet?” An encrypted electromagnetic wave was sent directly to my brain.

“Yes, I came here after receiving your signal for help!” I replied.

An expression of disbelief immediately appeared on the elder’s face as he said, “I didn’t think that the people from your planet actually have such powerful spiritual energy, you can directly use brain waves to communicate with us without any equipment!”

I smiled without denying or explaining anything. I think that outside of that old Daoist, Jiaoyazi, there probably wasn’t anyone like me! However, I had some reason for doing that. When I saw how powerful the alien technology was, I was kind of scared that they would attack Earth, so I had to show some sort of powerful strength to make them worried.

“But your technology here seems rather behind, why don’t I see any machinery here?” The alien elder asked in confusion.

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after hearing that, this was the South Pole! Who would drive their plane or car here if they had nothing to do! However, I think that even if we brought our most advanced spaceship here, it would seem very behind in their eyes!

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to look down on you! Every planet’s lifeforms have their own strengths. For example, your spiritual energy is something we can never achieve!” Seeing my awkward expression, the alien elder quickly explained to me.

“Hehe! No problem! This is an uninhabited zone on our planet, that’s why there is no technology here. However, our technology would definitely be very behind in your eyes,” I answered honestly.

“That’s nothing! Us, Animasians, know how to repay a favor. If you help us, I will give you all of the high-tech things from our planet!” The alien elder said with a smile.

“Yeah, this is also the reason why we, the police, still haven’t made a move on them! Although they are only an outer organization of the Situ family, their behind-the-scenes relationships are too complicated! A single move will affect a lot of thing. There are people of the Situ family’s faction in both the political world and the business world. Once they are put on the list to be targeted, I think that the Situ family will definitely not sit there and ignore it. When that happens, the pressure for us, the police, might be…” Zhong Yang sighed and said.

“Then you’re just going to let them continue down like this?” Although I had the powerful Three Rock Gang behind my back, I couldn’t help but feel disgusted by the Daxing Gang’s actions. That was because although the Three Rock Gang that Guo Qing led was a group of mobs in name, they never did anything like forcing prostitution, selling drugs, robbery or anything that harmed the civilians.

“Right now, we’re just waiting for a chance. On one hand, we’re gathering a lot of criminal evidence on the Daxing Gang, on the other hand, we’re waiting for the Situ family’s side. If the Situ family gains a competitor, we can use the time when the Situ family is busy with their opponent to take the Daxing Gang down in one go!” said Zhong Yang.

I nodded, I also understood that he was troubled. However, this chance wasn’t nonexistent; even if it was, it could still be created! It seems like the fellow who stuck a foot in when I was getting nostalgic with my first love was called something like Situ Liang, and seems to be someone from the Situ family. Fighting over a woman with me, see if I play you to death. If you’re going to blame someone, blame your family’s dog, the Daxing Gang that pissed me off!

Seeing me smile evilly, Zhong Yang asked, “Say, Liu Lei, you can’t be thinking of dealing with the Situ family, right?”

“I have that intention!” I nodded.

“Xiao Liu, I also understand some of your circumstances. Since we’re friends now, I won’t hide anything and will just be blunt! Xiao Liu, I know you have some money, but as an older brother, I want to tell you that your money is just a tiny amount compared to the Situ family’s! The Situ family’s financial ability is beyond your imagination! You know the Hurun Billionaire list, right! The richest man in China on there is just on the surface, our Huaxia has such a long history, and there are plenty of ancient families whose true wealth is unimaginable!” Zhong Yang advised.

I didn’t say anything after hearing that, perhaps their Situ family was truly that rich, but so what! No matter how much they had, it was a like a droplet in comparison to the ocean that is the profits of the Shuguang Corporation in a year, it can’t be compared at all!

However, I’ll pay them back after I deal with Chen Zelong.

As we chatted, we dragged the topic onto the army. Zhong Yang said, “Oh yeah, Old Wu, did you manage to decipher the signal you intercepted a few days ago?”

“Quite a few professionals from national security and elites from the army looked at it, but they couldn’t manage to figure it out. They suspect it’s a telegraph from enemy countries, but right now, there isn’t such a combination in the world. I think it’s either some sort of signal interference. Otherwise, it’s from aliens!” Fatty Wu’s imagination was truly great.

My interest immediately arose with the mention of aliens! That was because, in my previous life, the company I was in had helped the American government crack a lot of unknown coded telegraphs from space, contributing immensely to USA’s military, scientific, and technological development. Since I was coincidentally one of the main people in charge of this project, I did have a lot of knowledge about cracking telegraphs from space. Thus, I pretended to answer casually, “What telegraph, can I take a look?”

“Oh yeah, I completely forgot, boss, you’re a computing genius! I’ll let you have a look!” With that, he took out a printed piece of paper from his briefcase.

“I fear that isn’t too good, right? These are military secrets…” I said.

“Hai! What military secrets, those professional already finished looking at it. They said that there is no possibility of cracking it, that’s why it has no militaristic value. This is just a piece of scrap paper. I am just curious and want to see if it’s something from aliens. That’s why I didn’t throw it away!” Fatty Wu explained.

Hearing Fatty Wu’s explanation, I let out a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if it was truly some sort of national secret, not only would I have to be taken to national security, I would cause trouble for Fatty Wu as well. Fatty Wu’s words must have meant that this was identified as something useless, and thus it is out of militaristic protection.

Upon receiving the piece of paper to have a look, my expression couldn’t help but change! Fatty Wu actually guessed it right, this was an encoded signal from aliens looking for help! This sort of code was impossible to decipher with the current technology! In my original era, this sort of code was already rather widely known in a certain group of scientific workers; it was a type of very frequently used code in the universe, just like our Morse Code!

I took a deep breath and calmed down, then continued reading. On the telegraph, it claimed that they were two organisms from a planet in the Animas Galaxy. While exploring the universe, they failed their spatial jump and accidentally entered into another dimension of the universe. When they came out, they arrived on Earth. Since the fuel of the spaceship had already been used up, they were unable to go on their return voyage. There wasn’t much remaining food left either, it was only enough to last the two of them one more month. That’s why they used the barely remaining energy from the spaceship to send out a few signals requesting help, in hopes that someone on the planet would see it. I looked at the coordinates on the telegraph. ****, it’s actually the South Pole! No wonder nobody found them…

“How is it, Xiao Liu, can you understand what’s written on it?” Seeing that I was so focused on the paper, Fatty Wu quickly asked in curiosity.

“No. I just feel like these look like the sigils that daoists have drawn in the past…” Since it was a huge issue, I didn’t speak the truth. That was because with the current scientific knowledge, if the public knew about aliens coming to earth, it might cause widespread terror. More importantly, those western militaristic countries might capture the two aliens for research! This would threaten those two aliens a lot!

I memorized the coordinates on it, then returned the paper to Fatty Wu. Fatty Wu didn’t treat it as much and threw it back into his bag. From the looks of it, he didn’t have any hope of deciphering the code on it!

I continued to smile during the rest of the meal, but I started worrying about the two alien lifeforms. My response to Fatty Wu and co. become perfunctory. During the meal, I used an excuse to go to the bathroom. The journey to Hong Kong was not pressing, but the two aliens’ issue could not be dragged on!

However, there was nothing he could do. Zhong Yang had already discussed the matter concerning the Daxing Gang with the police chief. The chief was troubled as well, Daxing Gang was backed by the Situ family, which was very powerful and deep. They were not something that a police department, like them, could pull up. If they were to make a move on the Daxing Gang, it would definitely get the Situ family involved.

In these few years, ever since Zhong Yang joined the police, he paid attention to the Daxing Gang, this underworld organization. Although Yangjing city’s underground did not just have the Daxing Gang, it was the gang that infuriated the people the most.

As a policeman, Zhong Yang also knew that the underworld was unkillable. Wanting to get rid of the entire underworld was an impossible mission. As a policeman, what he needed to get rid of were those underworld organizations that hurt people and went against the people.

That’s why, as long as the other gangs didn’t act too over the line, Zhong Yang would act with one eye closed. Since the people didn’t complain, the officials would not target them. Yet, ones like Daxing Gang had to be eliminated.

Hearing Zhong Yang say that, Li Dalong also felt that it was kind of troublesome. Although Daxing Gang had the Situ family as their back shield, he couldn’t truly go against the police outright. He might even lose himself by doing so.

However, just leaving like this made him lose a lot of face. Thus, he found a way, “Since Captain Zhong said it, then how could I, Li Dalong, not respect that? Brat, you got lucky today, next time… Heng heng! Let’s go!”

Just as Li Dalong was about to leave, Fatty Wu spoke up, “Where do you think this is? Do you think you can leave whenever you want?” With that, he muttered a few words quickly to the security beside him.

Hearing Fatty Wu say that, Zhong Yang’s expression changed a bit, but didn’t say anything.

Seeing the fatty beside Zhong Yang speak up, Li Dalong was a bit confused, yet he couldn’t be sure of the background of this fatty. However, he searched through his memories of the people from the police station, and the fatty doesn’t seem to be there? So, he didn’t treat him as anything. He just treated him as Zhong Yang’s friend, thus he said without any care, “Hehe, if you want to be a busybody, you have to look at your own strength. Captain Zhong didn’t say anything, so who do you count as…” However, before he finished, he found himself unable to. That was because a group of soldiers poured in through the hotel entrance and encircled Li Dalong and co., and the people encircling them were holding real guns!

“Take them back, we’ll deal with them later!” Fatty Wu said to the soldiers.

“You… You are someone from the army?” Li Dalong pointed at Fatty Wu a bit frantically.

“Now you know who I am! Hehe, but it’s too late!” Fatty Wu said.

“Even… Even if you are a person from the army, you don’t have the right to capture me, right?” Li Dalong was truly scared now. These soldiers didn’t care if you were the mob or not, if you pissed them off, they’d just outright erase you! Furthermore, you couldn’t do anything about it, since going against the People’s Liberation Army was just courting death.

“This Mr. Liu is an important guest of our army. I suspect that you threatened his personal safety, so I suspect you of military espionage. Therefore, I have the right to detain you and hand you over to the court martial. Of course, if you want to, you can sue me in the court martial!” Fatty Wu was just scaring Li Dalong. The situation wasn’t that serious at all, there was no need to go to the court martial.

However, how could Li Dalong know that much, he did see some sort of special agent movies on the television and knew about the military espionage crime, but he didn’t know what counted as that. Hearing Fatty Wu say that now, his face immediately went pale, since he knew that if he was charged with that, he wouldn’t even have to think about getting out of jail in his entire life!

Seeing Li Dalong’s frantic expression, those subordinates didn’t know what to do. They were mobs, so they really couldn’t explain themselves in the court martial! That’s why they just stood there with uncertainty.

Seeing Li Dalong’s terrified expression, Zhong Yang found it rather funny, thus he said quietly to Fatty Wu, “Fatty, it’s about enough, are you really going to capture them? If you let my old man know how much trouble you caused, wouldn’t he call your old man and complain?”

Fatty Wu didn’t actually want to do anything to Li Dalong, he just wanted to scare them since the army couldn’t randomly arrest people either. Thus, he waved his hand and said, “How about this, due to giving Zhong Yang face, I’ll leave it this time, since arresting someone in front of the police captain isn’t that right. However, you won’t be so lucky the next time I see you!”

Hearing that Fatty Wu was going to let him go, Li Dalong immediately expressed his thanks! That was truly the feeling of rising to heaven from hell. Li Dalong felt like he just walked past the door of death! He immediately thanked Fatty Wu, then dragged his lackeys and ran away.

Watching their fleeting images, I said to Fatty Wu, “Fatty, you are amazing, you’re not even scared of the underworld!”

“Hai! When have I been afraid? These people are just capable of bullying the civilians normally!” said Fatty Wu.

Zhong Yang also smiled, “Say, Old Wu, you scared that brat, Li Dalong, I originally wanted to stop you. However, once I saw his expression, I stopped myself.”

The three of us chatted happily, ordered a few dishes, then went upstairs to the room. A lot of people merely treated the scene just now as military exercise and didn’t care. In places like the capital, anti-terrorism training was very frequent, so people got used to it.

“Xiao Liu, how did you piss off Li Dalong, from the looks of it, he seems to have a grudge with you!” asked Zhong Yang.

Thus, I told him about how Chu Gao accidentally pissed off Shen-ge.

“So it’s like this!” Zhong Yang nodded. “This Daxing Gang is terrible, if it wasn’t the chief reminding me to be careful, I would have arrested them all already!”

“Zhong-ge, I heard that the Situ family is the behind-the-scenes supporter of the Daxing Gang?” I asked.
