What? You're a notorious bandit? What a coincidence, me too!

The people huddled in the car stared at Lin Chang'an in shock, thinking that this man was not only a madman, but also a complete lunatic.

Ming, on the other end of the phone, frowned and hesitated for a moment.

Although anger rose within me, I managed to calm myself down.

Why is this guy surnamed Lin so arrogant?

He had someone investigate this Lin's background, and there was nothing unusual about him.

Is it because they are young and brave, and don't know what fear is?

Ming shook his head. He was glad that his "drug-spreading" business had been running for several years without any problems.

Besides having a protective umbrella, he relied on his cautious and meticulous nature.

He wondered if the other party was just a street thug who knew a few punches and kicks, would he dare to be so fearless?

After thinking it over, his brows furrowed even more.

This kid might not be as simple as he appears on the surface.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but ponder it more deeply.

Those who do this kind of business have to be careful and vigilant at all times.

Who is this Lin guy?

Yesterday, Xiaobao said that this guy surnamed Lin seemed interested in that bag of "ice".

Could he also be in the same industry?

If he really is a competitor, then was his visit to see someone yesterday just a pretext?

Perhaps he has other motives?

This guy surnamed Lin is from the west side of the city, which is Wang Qingpeng's territory. Could this kid be one of his men?

Ming was unsure what to do.

The underground drug network in Haicheng has been relatively peaceful in recent years. He has been guarding this area in the south of the city and rarely crosses the border.

However, Xiao Bao has been quite restless lately, secretly delivering goods to the west of the city a few times.

Although the amount was small and didn't cause any major problems, it still crossed the line.

Could it be that yesterday's events were deliberately orchestrated by Wang Qingpeng, who sent Lin Chang'an to warn him?

The more Ming thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

However, this matter was not a big deal, and it was easily resolved with some negotiation.

But his vigilant expression did not relax.

If this kid really is Wang Qingpeng's man, then things are not going to be good.

Rivals are enemies in the same trade; this Lin fellow has seen that piece of 'ice' before.

If you're an insider, you might be able to tell that the "ice" is something special!

The more Ming thought about it, the more confused he became.

When Lin Chang'an saw that there was no sound from the other end, he assumed that the coward had hung up the phone again. He checked his phone and saw that it was still connected.

He raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Did you die on a woman's belly?"

Ming's face was grim. He glanced at the woman whose back was to him, then removed his finger from...

The woman let out a soft moan.

Ming walked to the window with his phone in hand. "Tell me, what do you want?"

Lin Chang'an said, "Let's talk."

Ming pondered, pacing back and forth, weighing the matter.

In his view, Lin Chang'an's "chatting" did not represent an individual, but rather the forces behind them.

This involves a lot of complexities.

The "ice" he obtained through the new channels this time can be said to have made a qualitative leap in quality.

Yesterday he had someone check the goods, and the purity was indeed as the other party said, at least above 95%.

This is much purer than the "ice" sold on the market.

This means the profits will be quite substantial.

He wanted to quietly make a fortune in Haicheng first.

But the current situation is not as optimistic as he thought.

Those in the same industry are bound to be enemies; enemies often meet on a narrow road.

Now that the other party knows about this, they must also want to get involved.

After all, once this high-purity product is released, at least half of the drug addicts on the market will be attracted to it, which will inevitably arouse dissatisfaction among its peers in Haicheng.

After pondering the matter, Doflamingo finally weighed the pros and cons and said, "Okay."

Lin Chang'an was unaware of Ming's imagined thoughts. Seeing that the 'boss' had agreed, he coldly said, "The position."

"One hour later, at the Rosemary Bar."

Lin Chang'an hung up the phone, leaned against the car door and smoked two cigarettes before getting into the car.

The group shrank back, watching Lin Chang'an get into the car. They didn't know what Ming Ge had said to him earlier, but they were all now afraid of this guy.

Xiao Bao, clutching his broken arm, was about to speak when Lin Chang'an said, "Drive."

"what?"

Xiao Bao had a long face. In his current state, how could he possibly drive?

The group looked at each other, and one of the men, who was clutching his ribs, saw that everyone was looking at him and had no choice but to sit in the driver's seat.

"Hey bro, where are you going?"

"rosemary."

"what?"

The group looked on in astonishment, but dared not say anything, fearing that the man might stab them again if they disagreed.

What the hell is going on?

We are drug dealers, utterly devoid of conscience...

None of them dared to speak, including Xiao Bao, who was the most seriously injured. He could only hiss softly and grit his teeth.

His face was deathly pale, and he was dizzy, looking like he could die at any moment.

Who exactly is this guy surnamed Lin, Biao?

Or does he have powerful backers?

Xiao Bao wasn't stupid either; he could tell from Lin Chang'an and Ming Ge's words that he was confident and fearless.

To say that Lin Chang'an, a thug, would dare to use such force even knowing the background of his men would be an understatement.

That only proves that he has powerful backers and is not afraid of them at all.

Their purpose in producing drugs is simply to make money; they prefer to keep a low profile rather than be high-profile unless absolutely necessary.

The incident involving Lin Chang'an was an accident that forced them to resort to evil and intimidation.

Although they were wicked, they were not considered extremely vicious.

In contrast, Lin Chang'an exudes a fierce aura, employs ruthless methods, and has a menacing glint in his eyes.

Even when I cut his neck with the knife just now, I didn't hesitate at all.

He seemed experienced; it didn't look like he was doing this for the first time.

Xiao Bao was shivering, and his vest was soaked with sweat.

He stole a glance at Lin Chang'an and felt a chill run down his spine.

He had a feeling that this man surnamed Lin must have a lot of lives on his hands.

Lin Chang'an squinted as he carefully examined the information on the golden task panel.

This task came up just now while I was dealing with Xiaobao and the others.

He had only glanced at it briefly before looking at it in detail.

[Currently available quest: Detoxification]

Mission objective: Within 48 hours, investigate key information regarding high-purity methamphetamine and block its circulation in Haicheng.

[Mission Clues]

Key Associate: Ji Changming, nicknamed "Brother Ming," male, is a key figure in the drug source network.

Using the "Rosemary Bar" in the southern part of Haicheng as a visible contact point, there is a distribution channel for ultra-high purity methamphetamine, the source of which is unknown (needs further investigation).

[Difficulty of Atonement]: S-level. (The smuggling of high-purity methamphetamine is extremely difficult to conceal, making it very difficult for an individual to carry out, and those involved are highly vigilant, which can easily lead to violent conflict. The level of karmic retribution is very heavy.)

[Karma Elimination Reward]: 3000 Merit Points. (This karma elimination task was pre-assigned by the practitioner; an additional 10% Merit Points will be awarded upon completion of the task.)

[Assistance]: This mission is extremely difficult. The system will temporarily open all Buddhist items in the Mortal Treasury of Merit.

During the mission, the traveler can choose 3 items from the treasure vault to activate.

Note: Items are only available during the duration of this mission.

Lin Chang'an accepted the task, which cost 3000 merit points, roughly equivalent to 120 days of lifespan.

However, he didn't pay much attention to that, and instead focused all his attention on the [support] role.

[Treasury of Merit] He has only unlocked 4 items and redeemed 1 of them. He is very curious about what the other items are.

He opened the treasure vault and scanned the list with his eyes wide open.

……

The car soon arrived at the entrance of the "Rosemary" bar.

The bar doors were closed, and an SUV was already parked in front.

Lin Chang'an stroked his chin, told the people to get out of the car, and then walked into the bar.

The henchmen inside, some standing and some sitting, all turned their eyes toward the newcomer.

The lobby was dimly lit, with only one light on at the bar.

Ming was standing there, wearing gloves, holding a block of ice, and carving an ice ball with an ice pick.

He looked up and frowned slightly.

He ignored the injuries on Xiao Bao and the others.

His gaze fell on Lin Chang'an, and he looked towards the door with a puzzled expression.

I wondered why there was only one person!
