Chapter 225: Conflict!

“Send the name and photo over, and I’ll teach him a lesson for you…”

“Bro, his name is Zhao Yu, here’s his photo…”

Huo Xiao Xi found a photo of Zhao Yu in the school group chat and sent it over.

“Bro, don’t be too harsh on him..Just teach him some manner.”

“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

Huo Xiao Xi sighed in relief, ended the call, and a triumphant smile appeared on her face.

“Zhao Yu, you dare bully me? Let’s see how my brother disciplines you…”

On the other end of the call, a man with a scar on his face commended his men

“Brothers, grab your weapons, time to get to work…”

“Boss, what’s the deal this time?”

Huo Da Hai coldly replied, “Some bastard bullied my sister. What do you think?!”

The group of men became instantly indignant, “Bullying our boss’s sister is the same as bullying our sister…”

“Exactly! Let’s go and take revenge for our sister…”

Huo Da Hai handed the photo and name to one of the men, “Bro. Find out

where this guy is. If he left the school, notify me immediately…”

“No problem…”

Zhao Yu, led by Stubble-bearded Big Brother, boarded an old car and chugged its way towards the outskirts of the city.

Following their car from not too far away were more than ten armored vehicles.

“Big Brother, with them following us like this, is everything okay?” A henchman asked with concern.

Stubble-bearded Big Brother confidently responded, “These are people protecting Brother Zhao Yu, they’re our own. What is there to be afraid of?”

Zhao Yu sat with his eyes closed in the passenger seat.

Zhao Yu’s purpose of visiting the black market was straightforward—to make a flamboyant appearance and reveal his intentions.

According to the data from Xiao Liu, there are three manufacturers in the Bing City that meet the criteria, all on the brink of bankruptcy.

An acquisition might lead them to see him as an easy target, and negotiations might not proceed smoothly.

Thus, Zhao Yu planned to employ a tactic, revealing his intention to make a small investment for a big return, hoping the manufacturers would approach him.

In reality, there are many better factories than those three. In fact, the Su family owns a factory fully equipped to manufacture firearms on its own.

But such factories are clearly out of his reach.

Even if he went directly to negotiate with the Su family, he’d likely be put under house arrest and become a researcher for the Su family.

So, Zhao Yu’s plan was to keep his life safe while staying out of the Su family and building his own force.

As for the possibility of failure, he hadn’t considered it. Only success exists; there is no room for failure now.

After reviewing the plan in his mind and ensuring that there were no major issues, Zhao Yu finally opened his eyes and asked, “Where’s the black market?”

“It’s outside the city…”

“Brother Yu, what are we doing at the black market?”

“You don’t need to concern yourself with that. Just do your job well, and you’ll be compensated,” Zhao Yu replied indifferently.

He was well-aware of the characters of people like Stubble-bearded Big Brother—no morals, no boundaries, no brains. They weren’t exactly desirable subordinates, nor fit for security roles.

Yet he still kept them around, as they might be useful for his future plans.

Stubble-bearded Big Brother didn’t dare ask further and began describing the black market outside the city.

Zhao Yu had a basic understanding of the external black market.

Bing City wasn’t named for no reason. It’s cold all year round, where water can instantly freeze. Outside the city lies an underground ice and snow city, built to entertain tourists.

Ever since the Empire arrived here, the City was abandoned. Due to its intricate, maze-like layout, it gradually became a black market.

Soon, the group left the city. What used to be a relatively clean road was now overgrown with weeds, causing the vehicle to jostle as they drove.

“Hold on tight, Brother. This road is quite rough.

“The roads used to be clean…”

Others, prompted by the surroundings, revealed melancholy in their eyes.

In the past, roads like these had designated personnel for cleaning. However, such projects have long been abandoned or perhaps the funds allocated for them were misappropriated.

“Old days…”

Zhao Yu gripped the handle tightly, swaying with the bumpy movements of the car. Finally, they stopped in front of a castle carved from ice blocks.

“We’re here, Brother Zhao Yu.”

“Alright, lead the way!”

“Boss, we’ve found him. Some people saw Zhao Yu heading to the black market,” a subordinate reported.

Huo Da Hai was overjoyed and quickly asked, “Is he alone?”

“No, he has a few people with him. The one leading them seems to be ‘Green Hat Rong’…”

‘Green Hat Rong’, was Stubble-bearded Big Brother’s nickname. Almost everyone who mixed in these circles knew about him, which was how he got such a moniker.

“Green Hat Rong?!”

A look of disdain appeared on Huo Da Hai’s face.

They were involved in legitimate business, belonging to the real risk-takers.

But ‘Green Hat Rong’, while avoiding conflicts with other businessmen, would only dare to pick on ordinary folks.

In their eyes, ‘Green Hat Rong’ was barely half a businessman.

“Big brother, should we bring guns?”

“Of course! How can you go to the black market without a gun?!”
