"Boss, a call for you," the hacker said respectfully, handing over the phone. They had just completed a transaction; what could be the purpose of another call from that party so soon?
"Who’s calling?" Long Hua asked lazily as he took the phone. "Ah, it’s the esteemed client we just dealt with."
"Mm, understood," Long Hua said, waving a hand for the hacker to leave. Could there be a problem with the transaction they just completed?
"Mr. Long, all the goods on our cruise ship... they’ve vanished into thin air!" a blond man’s voice, tinged with panic and impatience, came over the line in heavily accented Mandarin.
"Eh? Vanished? Mr. Luo Dahua, are you sure?" Long Hua frowned. How could that be possible? The cruise ship has already sailed out to sea. How could all the goods be taken without alerting anyone? This must be a joke!
"The goods were in the cargo hold, and the door was guarded the entire time. No one went in or out, but the goods just inexplicably vanished," Luo Dahua’s voice conveyed shock and disbelief.
"Mr. Luo Dahua, I’ll look into this for you. However, you must understand that what you’re describing sounds rather far-fetched; we may not find a resolution," Long Hua said before hanging up, a wicked smile playing on his lips. Did Luo Dahua really lose the goods, or is he just trying to cause me trouble?
"On the vast ocean, a lone cruise ship, and dozens of boxes of cargo vanish from its hold without a trace. Chu Yi, do you think it’s possible?" Long Hua tossed the phone aside and casually asked Chu Yi.
"It’s not entirely impossible," Chu Yi replied, adjusting his glasses, a slight smile on his lips. "Does the ship’s cargo hold have windows? Perhaps someone threw all the goods into the sea through them. That way, it could have been done completely unnoticed."
In her space, Shangguan You cultivated her Spiritual Energy while listening to the two foxes’ conversation. For Chu Yi, she’d even come up with a fitting nickname: Smiling Tiger. He could even think of such a method; although it was far from the truth, it was impressive he could conceive of it. No wonder he managed to expand his drug business to such a scale.
Such talent... it would be a real shame not to use it. Listening to the two continue discussing internal gang matters and proposing solutions, Shangguan You became even more convinced she had to recruit them. But how to make them her own? The question troubled her once more.
She could use the Loyalty Curse, but she wanted them to follow her willingly, wholeheartedly.
"Have you heard about the Qing Gang?" Chu Yi asked casually, though the deeper meaning in his words was clear only to Long Hua.
"Naturally. That small gang is quite formidable. In a short time, they’ve swallowed up the Zhongyi Gang, the Tiger Gang, and even other significant gangs have been incorporated into the Qing Gang. I believe it won’t take many years for the Qing Gang’s achievements to rival our own."
