I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal
Chapter 125 - 112: Oh, it’s you guys.

Chapter 125: Chapter 112: Oh, it’s you guys.

Leaving the warehouse and factory area.

It was a secluded, tree-lined road with few people.

The sunlight filtered through layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled and scattered shadows on the road, which shifted and changed as the vehicles moved.

This stretch of tree-lined road was quite isolated, with only the occasional chirping of birds and the rustle of the wind through the leaves breaking the silence.

Bai Shi drove the Cadillac in silence, his expression somewhat gloomy after removing the mask.

The atmosphere in the car was also somewhat silent.

Bai Shi, who had failed to properly install the equipment and had been tricked by the local gang, was naturally a bit irritable.

Although it wasn’t likely for such problems to occur in the main places where he hid his things, the affected location was a storage he didn’t care much about.

But in the end, he had been fooled.

An internationally-known criminal wanted to show off big in front of his friends.

But because of the local tyrant’s greed in trying to extort, it ended up being a huge mess.

This made him drive in silence, unsure of what to say for the moment.

Chen Yun, sitting beside him, could sense Bai Shi’s mood.

So he didn’t speak at first either.

He waited until Bai Shi’s mood had somewhat calmed down.

Then Chen Yun slowly broke the silence, "Now... are we still learning about modems?"

He planned to finish the study of modem technology and the experiments on the effect of killing intent on plants within two weeks and then return to Jiangnan Province to delve deeper.

Looking at the current situation...

It probably wasn’t going to happen?

"You might need to study on your own for a while, I’ve got things to do in the next few days."

"That real estate company has gone too far."

Bai Shi said, a glint flashing across his eyes.

Naturally, he was not about to swallow the insult from this bizarre gang’s antics.

Taking into account the harmony within Hua Country, he had to cautiously consider his next vengeance steps, which definitely couldn’t be overt.

However, from legal aspects and various business tactics, he had plenty of means to meddle with the gang that had disguised itself as a real estate company.

Sending their corrupt mid- and high-level officials to prison was feasible.

After all, he was once an adroit pirate on the international scene, and coming to Shu to retire didn’t mean he spent his days just entertaining old men.

Countless backup plans aside.

He had dealt with various connections, both clean and dirty, and using his strong personal abilities and numerous coated bullets, he had made many friends.

Sorting out a whitewashed real estate company wouldn’t be a big issue.

But it wouldn’t be possible to collapse them instantly; after all, it’s impossible to kill all the top executives overnight. To handle it openly and rightfully, it would still require some time to maneuver various connections and resources.

"Do I need to wait a few days?"

Chen Yun murmured, not asking further.

But he already understood that Bai Shi was gearing up for a serious retaliation.

Which meant he would likely be quite occupied for a significant time.

Contemplating the time Bai Shi might need for his revenge, and planning his own subsequent actions, he ponders aloud, "What did that real estate company do before going legitimate? Are they easy to deal with?"

Bai Shi glanced at Chen Yun when he heard this.

Thinking over that he had basically shared most of his affairs with Chen Yun, he didn’t hide much.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Shudi Xianghe Real Estate Co. Ltd. Before going legit, they ran several large nightclubs and bars including Heaven Nightclub. After whitewashing, their main businesses are some building projects and sand mining operations."

"Frankly speaking, their strength is just so-so."

"You remember that Cui Bingsheng I introduced you to last time, right? He is the second-in-command at Shudi Construction Group, whose business has been thriving overseas, much stronger than what Xianghe Real Estate Co. Ltd. boasts. Even so, he’s one of my connections, not even the most powerful one."

"Don’t worry, I’ll make a few calls in the next couple of days to sort this out, no need to worry."

Bai Shi said, a smile appearing on his face.

Even though he had shared many of his personal dealings with Chen Yun, there were still many details left unsaid, so being worried was quite normal.

Thus, he explained earnestly.

Soon after.

After making several turns to ensure no one was following, the car returned to Mingwang New Village.

Bai Shi hurriedly climbed the stairs to go upstairs, apparently going home to call and connect with his network.

While Chen Yun took the elevator.

Pondering over how long Bai Shi had mentioned it would take.

If it took too long, learning the signal modem technology would be put on hold.

Though he could learn online, he still trusted Bai Shi’s knowledge and capability more.

After pondering for a long time.

Chen Yun, upon returning home, played using telekinesis with the exuberantly running silly dog Bai Jin.

Meanwhile, he opened his computer and briefly searched for some information on Xianghe Real Estate and Heaven Nightclub. Searching engines showed no connection between the two, obviously, the whitewashing was done cleanly.

Contemplating.

Chen Yun looked at the Human Skin Mask he held, thoughts flickering through his mind.

····························

Outside Heaven Nightclub.

Here, there were no flashy entrances, no blinding LED strips, no red carpets stretching down to the street...

As a nightclub, a place that was once somewhat shady, the exterior decoration was not overly luxurious or attention-grabbing.

The sign hung above the entrance, with warm, non-blinding light, simply engraved with the word "Heaven" in elegant font without any extra decoration.

High profile was the path to doom.

Low-key was the way to survive.

Even now, admission was based on a membership invitation system, requiring an existing member’s invitation to become a new member, and only members could enter.

Or, only by making a single recharge exceeding twenty thousand yuan could one become a temporary member for twenty-four hours, gaining temporary admission rights.

This eliminated most of the casual onlookers, thereby avoiding much public attention.

At this moment, at its entrance.

A young man with an orange spiked hairdo shakily lit a cigarette for the man with a buzz cut standing beside him.

His hands were trembling so exaggeratedly that the lighter flickered for a long time without lighting the cigarette.

This angered the buzz cut man who slapped the back of the orange-haired youth’s head, "Damn it! Can’t you even light a cigarette now?"

With that, he snatched the lighter and lit the cigarette himself.

His somewhat swollen face took a drag.

Then, he exhaled a long, relieved breath and handed the lighter back to his subordinate.

The orange-haired youth stumbled from the slap but didn’t seem to care.

After taking the lighter, he spoke anxiously, "Brother Lei, are we really spending all this money just to visit this nightclub once? Is it worth it?"

The temporary membership that could admit two people was largely funded by him.

But it was just for one night inside, and thinking about it made his heart ache.

"Damn it, Yang Haotian! Look at your spirit! Does it match your name?"

"It’s just tens of thousands of bucks. Do you have any idea how many connections are in that nightclub?"

"I, Zhang Lei, will go in there tonight and network, straight to the top, do you understand?"

The buzz cut man, named Zhang Lei, said this while touching his significantly reduced facial swelling, and excitedly adjusted his hair.

After tonight, he would be a made man, easily becoming a top lackey for some big shot with his abilities.

At this thought, he got a little excited.

"But I feel..."

The man named Yang Haotian, with orange spiked hair, wanted to say something more but got immediately interrupted by Zhang Lei.

"I don’t care what you think, I care what I think."

"Don’t end up like those six others, who actually gave up their cool hairstyles and obediently went back to screwing nuts in factories."

"We are here to do big things."

As he spoke, Zhang Lei, as if suddenly recalling something, appeared frightened and then quickly puffed up his chest as if to prove he wasn’t scared.

The early hours of a previous day.

He had driven with seven underlings along a certain path.

They ended up being pinned down on the ground by a man who got out of a Cadillac, completely unable to fight back.

Just the mere thought of that man who could snap a club with his bare hands made Zhang Lei shudder.

Afterwards,

Six of his seven underlings went back to tightening screws, leaving only Yang Haotian with him.

His face had also swollen from the beating by that man, grabbed by the collar.

Now even thinking about it depressed him and ignited his anger even more.

He had to reclaim everything he’d lost!

Tonight!

While pondering,

Zhang Lei was about to lead his remaining underling into the grand entrance of Heaven Nightclub.

But someone, unbeknownst when, appeared beside him.

An arm slowly wrapped around his neck in a smooth motion, catching him off guard.

"Bro, got a light?"

Chen Yun appeared with a grin and hooked his arm around Zhang Lei’s neck.

The arm-in-arm gesture,

It made them look like close buddies.

However,

As soon as Chen Yun’s voice sounded, both men immediately froze.

The cigarette in Zhang Lei’s mouth fell to the ground, unclasped.

His face instantly turned deathly pale, as if invisible fear had drained all his blood. His eyes bulged, and his pupils constricted sharply, flickering with confusion and panic.

He stiffly turned his head towards the sound and saw a face unfamiliar to him.

Though Chen Yun’s face seemed different,

Zhang Lei could still swear on his life he’d never forget that voice!

It was absolutely the voice of that devil who relentlessly slapped him that dawn!

The aura of one man had frightened all eight of them.

Now, just hearing that voice again, his body reflexively trembled, and a faint phantom pain crossed his face.

Yang Haotian, standing beside him, also froze, wanting to move but not daring to.

His lips were pressed tightly together, even trembling slightly. His nostrils flared as he breathed quickly and chaotically, each breath seeming an attempt to suppress the terror inside.

The fright of both men peaked in that moment.

Yet they dared not make any move.

In extreme fear, the orange-haired underling, Yang Haotian, trembled as he tried to extend the lighter to Chen Yun to fulfill his request for a light.

But Chen Yun just waved his hand indicating he didn’t need it.

He didn’t smoke.

Asking for a light was just a way to greet an acquaintance.

Chen Yun, seeing these two old acquaintances, chuckled amusedly and decided not to tease them further.

Then, he no longer used his original voice.

Instead, he spoke in a deliberately altered voice mimicking a Hong Kong dub, "Heard you’ve got a temporary membership huh?"

Chen Yun’s question,

But the meaning in his words was clear without saying more.

His real intent was not to get a light, but the temporary membership the two had discussed at the entrance, and the access it provided to bring two people into Heaven Nightclub.

With that, Chen Yun’s face broke into a smile.

It was a smile as warm as the spring sun, like morning light penetrating clouds and warming the earth, instantly melting all the cold and gloom.

Yet, although the smile appeared exceptionally benign, Zhang Lei and Yang Haotian still couldn’t help but nervously swallow.
