A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Lu Ke was slightly taken aback.

"out of stock?"

"Yes, did I just tell you that this is all there is? I searched for ages before finally getting this stock from a friend's inventory?"

"How can it be."

Luke frowned: "This is Los Santos, how could we possibly be out of stock?"

Vince shrugged.

"Speaking of which, it's all your fault."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ke's expression resembled that of an elderly person looking at their phone on the subway.

"Blame me?"

"Have you forgotten about how you took down the Tangren Gang?"

"How to say?"

"I bought this stock from a cake shop in Italy. They told me that although CPH4 has been around for almost two years, its manufacturing process has not yet been made public. Nowadays, all CPH4 on the market is distributed to various parts of the Federation through the Chinatown gang."

Vince told Luke the information he had gathered.

“After you wiped out the Tangren Gang, naturally, the supply of CPH4 also disappeared.”

"..."

Lu Ke was slightly taken aback, never expecting that the Tangren Gang, which had been destroyed for so long, could return to his sight in this way.

"There aren't any left on the market?"

"Gone."

Vince shook his head with certainty: "The cost price of this thing is there, which means that there aren't many people who can afford it. Previously, most of the customers who bought it were male and female celebrities from Hollywood or the San Fernando Valley. You know, those male and female celebrities always like excitement, so apart from the Chinatown gang, other gangs basically don't have much stock."

The main reason is that only the Tangren Gang has this thing, which means that other gangs will not care about it at all.

After all, what if they help Tangrenbang promote their products, and then Tangrenbang raises prices for them or simply stops supplying them with goods?

No gang can gain a foothold in Saint-Louis without being a fool.

They originally planned to join forces to negotiate with the Tangren Gang, not demanding that the Tangren Gang hand over the manufacturing process of CPH4, but they did need to demand that the Tangren Gang hand over the source of the goods.

Before these gangs could even negotiate with the Chinatown gang, the latter suffered a devastating blow from the FBI.

Overnight, the once-powerful Chinatown gang in San Lodos collapsed and vanished completely, leaving behind a mess.

So far, no new, unified gang has emerged in the Tangren Gang. More than a dozen gangs that were rebuilt on the ruins of the Tangren Gang are still fighting to the death over who is the true king.

This phenomenon astonished the other gangs in San Lodos, who couldn't understand why these gangs in Chinatown insisted on determining a final winner.

Chinatown is huge. At worst, one gang can manage one block. Why fight until only one gang is left?

obviously.

These gangs don't understand the romance of unification.

Although Lu Ke understood the romance of unification, he didn't care who could replace the Tangren Gang and become the new Tangren Gang.

All he cared about was CPH4.

Without CPH4, even if all the remaining chemical raw materials arrived, they wouldn't be able to provide him with enough energy to restart his gene lock.

Only CPH4 can provide him with that almost abnormal and inexhaustible energy when he restarts his genetic lock and breaks through the limitations of the genetic lock.

But right now?

Is CPH4 out of stock on the market?

Lu Ke rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

He never expected that even though the Tang Gang had been dead for so long, they could still deliver a backstab to him here.

"correct!"

Seeing Luke's somewhat troubled expression, Vince said, "Last time, you raided several of the Tang Gang's warehouses, so you should have some of this stuff in your evidence room."

Lu Ke: "..."

"It's not in the evidence room."

"what?"

The next morning, after Luke arrived at the office, he instructed Earl to check the evidence room to see if there was any CPH4 that had been seized from the Tangren Gang.

Earl's actions were very effective; he arrived at Luke's office and provided the answer within half an hour of Luke's instructions.

No hair at all.

Lu Ke frowned upon hearing this answer.

Not even a single gram?

"No."

"That's impossible."

Luke tapped the table with his right finger, looking at Earl sitting in the chair opposite him: "Are you sure you've found out?"

Since Tangrenbang is the only distributor of CPH4, in theory, Tangrenbang should have some stock on hand.

It can't be that there isn't even a single gram.

Earl shook his head firmly: "I've already checked with the evidence room on the second basement level, and I've also spoken with the agents there. There's definitely no evidence of CPH4, and..."

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

"And what?"

"The other items belonging to the China Gang are not in our evidence room, Chief. The agents who raided the China Gang were all transferred from the Sacramento State Department by Chief Louis."

“Our evidence room has no records related to the Tang gang.”

"..."

Yes.

When the Chinatown gang suffered a devastating blow, the FBI's operations team in Los Santos also faced annihilation.

The person in charge of suppressing the Tang gang was Chief Louis, who came all the way from Sacramento.

and so……

The spoils of war were all carried back to Sacramento by Chief Louis.

With that thought in mind, Luke nodded to Earl, and after Earl left the office, he took out his phone and called Panning, who was still in Sacramento.

soon.

The call is connected.

"Hey."

Are you still at the state bureau?

"exist."

Do you recognize the people in the evidence room over there?

"I'm fine, what's wrong?"

"When we raided the Tangren Gang, could you check if the supplies we seized are in the state bureau's evidence room, and if CPH4 is in there?"

"CPH4?"

Pan Ning asked, "In the last two years, there's been a new type of over-the-counter narcotic drug that's become very popular here. Our colleagues in the Narcotics Investigation Department haven't been able to find its source. Is this stuff manufactured by the Tangren Gang?"

Previously, Pan Ning's hometown of Milmi was a passionate and free-spirited city, so it's quite normal for him to know about CPH4.

Lu Ke hummed in agreement: "Whether it was manufactured by the Tangren Gang or not, I don't know, but my information is that the Tangren Gang is the only gang that controls the source of the goods."

Pan Ning nodded: "Okay, I'll think of a way, but it might not be that quick. As you know, the directors from other regions are all here today."

Lu Ke expressed his understanding: "It's okay, let me know when you have any news."

Pan Ning said "OK" and then hung up the phone.

Lu Ke then hung up the phone.

Just moments after he hung up the phone, Jia Ying, who was far away in New York City, called.

Luke snapped out of his daze, looked at the caller ID, and answered the call again.

"Lu Ke, should I have Carl go over today?"

Jia Ying, who was in a hotel in New York City, glanced at her husband Carl sitting next to her and said to Lu Ke on the phone, "We've almost got things sorted out in New York City."

Yes.

Jia Ying and Carl finally found their daughter Daisy.

Although their daughter Daisy seemed skeptical, she agreed to have a paternity test done to confirm it.

This is not.

After finishing her own business, Jia Ying immediately thought of her agreement with Lu Ke. She planned to send her husband back to Los Santos to help Lu Ke, and then wait in New York City for the results of her paternity test with Jia Ying.

As Lu Ke listened to Jia Ying's story over the phone, he congratulated her on finding Daisy, and then thought for a moment.

"No need yet."

"what."

Lu Ke spun around in his chair, then stood up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking at the scenery outside, he rubbed his temples and said, "There's a problem with one of the raw materials; we don't have enough. I need to resolve this issue first."

CPH4 isn't enough. Even if Karl himself came, let alone Karl, he probably wouldn't be able to create the potion he wants.

Carl, who was standing next to Jia Ying, listened to the information coming from the phone and asked, "What raw materials are you missing?"

Lu Ke didn't hide it from him either.
