Zhang Chen looked at the model with curiosity.
She had an excellent figure, and her height was even slightly taller than Zhang Chen. Her legs were straight and slender, forming a perfect curve.
Her long, black hair fell over her shoulders, contrasting with her face, which was lightly powdered, giving her a look that was not overly worldly but rather a rare and precious purity. Although there was a clear trace of fear in her clear eyes, there was also a hint of determination.
Unlike the other two girls, this younger girl was the most clear-headed of the three.
Zhang Chen immediately became interested in her, but Tang Yi's expression did not show any particular joy.
He couldn't help but pout, and Zhang Chen understood that Tang Yi clearly thought this girl had little value to offer.
However, unlike the child, Tang Yi had no reason or opportunity to refuse anyone at this moment.
He nodded, "Welcome to the team. Your choice is the best one."
After speaking, Tang Yi's gaze turned to the others.
When the team of models and Mr. Zhao confirmed the formation of their group, the man leading the models began to scold the girls, but it was obviously ineffective. The other two girls were cowering behind the man, and their gazes toward Tang Yi were clearly not friendly.
Mr. Zhao's driver hesitated for a moment before finally joining Mr. Zhao's side.
The high school student, of course, ran to Tang Yi without hesitation. The newlywed couple, however, seemed particularly unique, showing no intention of joining any team.
Zhang Chen looked at his own group: two college students, a high school student, and a 21-year-old model. It was a simple combination, and also a rather weak one.
Mr. Zhao asked the newlywed couple for their opinion, and it was clear that they intended to go it alone.
However, he seemed satisfied with his own team and quickly left.
The newlywed couple discussed for a moment and then left as well. To Zhang Chen's surprise, they killed two waiters without changing their expressions and put on a set of normal clothes.
Tang Yi calmly looked around and then stood up, speaking in a low voice, "Since we have formed a team, I hope everyone can share their information. Only then can I formulate the correct strategy."
Zhang Chen pouted, about to speak, but the girl had already stepped forward.
"Shen Ning, 21 years old, college student, learned a bit of taekwondo, but didn't take any exams. Personal attributes: Strength 6, Agility 5, Stamina 8, Spirit 4."
Zhang Chen's mouth dropped open. Goodness, this girl was only one year older than him, and her personal attributes were mostly higher than his initial ones!
However, he didn't feel embarrassed and directly stated his own new data, "Zhang Chen, 20 years old, college student, no combat skills. Personal attributes: Strength 4, Agility 3, Stamina 7, Spirit 6."
Next was the high school student, "Wu Qi, 17 years old, high school student. I have no combat skills, but I'm very familiar with movies, so don't worry, all the spoilers will be handled by me! My personal attributes: Strength 2, Agility 2, Stamina 4, Spirit 3."
"Such a weakling!" Zhang Chen couldn't help but think.
The last one was Tang Yi.
He spoke very little, "Tang Yi, Strength 4, Agility 4, Stamina 5, Spirit 8."
"Specialized in mental strength? I can't tell!" Zhang Chen said with a smile, but he couldn't help but mutter, "Not even mentioning age or occupation, are you afraid we'll find you in the real world?"
"The attributes of the newbies don't differ much, and none of you have any special abilities," Tang Yi said coldly. "Therefore, my plan is as follows. Zhang Chen, you and I will find Chen Haonan. Shen Ning and Wu Qi will be a team. You should follow the actions of Big Kun in the movie to find him. Remember, don't engage in conflict with him; try to get close to him!"
"Um, he's a boss-level character, how do we get close to him?" Wu Qi asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should own a film company," Tang Yi said coldly, his gaze on Shen Ning.
Wu Qi's eyes widened, and even Shen Ning looked at Tang Yi in disbelief.
"Is that company known for making adult films?" Zhang Chen finally said with a smile.
"If it were an ordinary film company, we wouldn't be able to get close to him," Tang Yi said.
"So, what's your plan?"
"Chen Haonan and Big Kun are enemies. The most important boss, B, hasn't been killed yet, but we only have 48 hours, so we need to stir up the hatred between them as much as possible," Tang Yi said. "So, after you two join them, bring out a few of his underlings tonight. We'll use their names to kill Nest Skin and others, leaving Chen Haonan and Chicken. Then, Shen Ning, you'll have to sacrifice yourself to seduce Chicken..."
"Frame him? It might not be enough. Chicken doesn't seem like the type to betray his friends for a woman," Zhang Chen said.
"I want him to not!" Tang Yi said with a cold laugh. "I'll drug him, and I want Chicken to disappear without a trace!"
"What do you mean?" Wu Qi asked, puzzled.
At this point, Shen Ning clearly understood, "Chicken disappears, Nest Skin and Skin are killed, and there are traces of Big Kun's subordinates at the scene. The easiest conclusion to draw is that Big Kun turned Chicken against his own brothers. In this situation, the one who will be anxious is not Chen Haonan, but boss B!"
"So, as long as we add fuel to the fire between the two, for example, by having boss B's people destroy Big Kun's goods or Big Kun killing boss B's family, a big battle will soon begin! The only question is, will 48 hours be enough?"
"The tighter the time, the more tense the situation will be," Tang Yi said. "Only then will it seem that Big Kun has been preparing for a long time, and boss B will act more aggressively!"
The task allocation was over, and although it wasn't entirely satisfactory, everyone, including Shen Ning, accepted the requirements.
After all, killing a gang boss in 48 hours was not an easy task.
Zhang Chen and Tang Yi, while inquiring, searched for Chen Haonan's whereabouts.
Zhang Chen asked, "Since Chen Haonan's role isn't significant, why are we looking for him? Won't it alert him?"
"Boss B is a good person, and not all of Big Kun's subordinates are bad. If so, why can't Big Kun's subordinates warn Chen Haonan?"
Zhang Chen pouted, "I see, so the key to this crude provocation is here?"
Tang Yi didn't speak, but Zhang Chen could clearly feel that he had some crucial points he hadn't revealed.
However...
Thirty minutes later, the two stood in front of the police station in Mong Kok, looking at Chen Haonan in a police uniform, smiling brightly, with a sense of indescribable feeling.
"I am Chen Haonan. What can I do for you two?" Chen Haonan asked with a smile.
Tang Yi's usually calm face showed a hint of collapse. He stared at Zhang Chen, "Did we come to the wrong place?"
Zhang Chen shrugged, "Who knows?"
Honestly, he was speechless about this situation.
Over the past decade, he had spent most of his energy on business, and most of his subordinates had changed careers, doing business or studying, and some even became officials, making gangsters a side job.
Chen Haonan, who grew up in Mong Kok, initially admired the "free and unrestrained" life of gangsters, but ultimately, influenced by this new generation, he began to study hard—of course, this might also be because Zhang Chen's subordinates started entering schools as teachers.
The result was clear: in this world of gangsters, the original protagonist was no longer a gangster.
According to Zhang Chen's thinking, this world could now be called a "police story" without any problem.
Even Tang Yi, in the end, had no choice but to bid farewell to Chen Haonan, walking down the street with a helpless look, frowning, and thinking about something.
An hour later, his expression became even more helpless.
Shen Ning and Wu Qi returned, their faces a mix of laughter and tears.
Wu Qi said, "I think we got something wrong. Big Kun's subordinates do have a film company, but they don't make adult films anymore. When we went in, they were filming a Gu Long series, and we even got a small role, earning a few hundred dollars. I heard that Big Kun's business is quite large. In America, he has already produced a movie called Titanic..."
Tang Yi did not show the surprise Wu Qi expected. Instead, he quickly composed himself, took a deep breath, and asked, "So, you mean his business is developing very well?"
Wu Qi nodded, then saw Tang Yi spit.
"Since that's the case, we need to change our plan!" Tang Yi said. "Get ready, we're going to rob a bank!"
Everyone was stunned by this statement.
"Big Kun isn't a police officer," Zhang Chen said. "How can we get him to come out this way?"
"No, I just need to get a lot of money," Tang Yi shook his head. "We need to change our appearance. At least, we need to look more like a nouveau riche or a second-generation official!"
Zhang Chen's mind clicked, and he suddenly understood, "You mean, we're going to do business with Big Kun?"
"Exactly!" Tang Yi said. "Since we're doing business, we need money, and the mysterious mainland is clearly the place Big Kun and his people most want to connect with! Let's give him this big gift!"
