We offered you a summer job, but you went and became a mercenary?

Wang Bin suddenly shuddered.

He frantically caught the black gold Centurion card, which represented an unlimited credit limit, and rushed to the finance office at the fastest speed he had ever been.

Less than five minutes.

Wang Bin returned, panting, carrying an exquisitely crafted pure gold box.

The box was lined with velvet and contained a black and gold access card with the highest level of access, as well as a set of solid gold mechanical spare keys.

"Mr. Lin, all the formalities are complete! The developer will cover all taxes and fees!" Wang Bin stammered, his attitude even more respectful than if he were meeting his own father. "This is the highest-level key to the penthouse, the only one of its kind in the entire Jiangcheng. It has a private elevator that goes directly there, and your facial information has been fully recorded in the security system."

Lin Ye put away the black gold card and grabbed the keys.

He walked to the door, picked up the red, white, and blue snakeskin bag filled with millions of dollars worth of bespoke suits with one hand, and carried it steadily on his shoulder.

"Old Zhao, you're in charge of cleaning this place. Hurry up, don't get my new house's lobby dirty."

Lin Ye left a sentence behind and strode briskly toward the private elevator that led directly to the top floor.

"No problem! Mr. Lin, please take care!" Zhao Jianguo nodded repeatedly from behind, then turned and yelled at the SWAT officers, "Hurry up! Get body bags to put the person in! Replace the carpet with a new one!"

The top floor of the Cloud Tower is a rare, exclusive 1,200-square-meter penthouse.

Lin Ye swiped his card and pushed open the heavy explosion-proof door.

The interior is so spacious that you can play basketball in the living room. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer a stunning view of the city's most vibrant riverside nightscape, creating a truly visually striking experience.

He didn't even glance at the extremely luxurious imported furniture, and walked straight through the corridor to the innermost independent vault.

The walls of this vault are made of one-meter-thick aerospace-grade alloy steel, and the doors are even thicker than those of Swiss banks.

Lin Ye entered the password and opened the vault door.

With a thought, he opened the system space and began frantically transferring things out.

Boxes of high-purity gold bars, stacks of hundred-dollar bills still smelling of ink, and parts for several rare Barrett sniper rifles seized in the Middle East were neatly stacked on the metal shelves in the vault.

"Working people finally have a decent storage room; it's really not safe to keep things in the dorm."

Looking at the vault, which was more than half full, Lin Ye patted the dust off his hands with great satisfaction.

Just then, the flip phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.

Lin Ye took out his phone, and the caller ID showed: Counselor Teacher Li.

Press the answer button.

The counselor's voice immediately came through the phone, extremely enthusiastic and even somewhat ingratiating.

"Lin, are you busy right now?"

"Just say what you need to say." Lin Ye leaned against the vault door.

"It's like this, tonight is the freshman welcome party at Jiangcheng College of Arts and Sciences. The principal personally asked you to do him the honor of showing your face, even if it's just for ten minutes!"

Lin Ye thought for a moment.

Ordinary daily life definitely needs some entertainment.

"Okay, what time?"

"8 PM! The main sports field! We've reserved the best VIP seats for you!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ye glanced at the time: 7:30.

He walked up to the red, white, and blue snakeskin bag filled with Armani haute couture and began rummaging through it.

He casually rummaged through dozens of pieces of clothing worth tens of thousands of yuan.

After get off work, you should relax. Wearing a suit to a party is just asking for trouble.

He changed into a set of pure black haute couture casual wear; the fabric was very soft, and there was no worry about it getting stuck in his crotch.

"These clothes, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, are really breathable. The money was well spent."

Lin Ye was very satisfied. He turned around, left the vault, and took the private elevator directly to the underground parking garage.

Sitting inside the seven-ton Knight XVI armored vehicle, Lin Ye pressed the start button.

The V12 engine let out a deep roar.

He stepped on the gas, and the black armored behemoth burst out of the Cloud Imperial View, heading straight for Jiangcheng College of Arts and Sciences.

7:50 PM.

The entrance to Jiangcheng College of Arts and Sciences was brightly lit.

The security captain was patrolling with a walkie-talkie when he suddenly heard an exaggerated engine roar.

An enormous black SUV drove straight to the school gate.

The vehicle is over 2.5 meters tall, and its pure black armored shell gleams with a metallic sheen under the streetlights.

The security captain initially wanted to step forward to stop them, but after seeing the bulletproof glass that was seven centimeters thick and the exaggerated lightning protection chassis, his legs froze.

He had served in the military and knew all too well the value of this thing.

This is a genuine military-grade heavy vehicle!

Without saying a word, the security captain pressed the remote control and raised the boom to its highest position.

He stood ramrod straight and gave a standard military salute towards the driver's cab.

Lin Ye drove straight onto the main road of the campus with one hand on the steering wheel and without even rolling down the window.

On the large playground.

The welcome party is reaching its climax.

A lively dance performance is taking place on stage, and the students below are cheering loudly.

Just then, a muffled engine roar came from the entrance of the playground.

The sound grew louder and louder, completely drowning out the subwoofers on the stage.

The crowd turned to look.

A visually striking armored off-road vehicle completely ignored the perimeter of the playground, drove over the speed bumps, and swaggered onto the edge of the lawn.

The heavy tires creaked against the grass.

The audience was silent.

The music on stage stopped, and the female students who were dancing stood there blankly.

Thousands of people stared intently at the enormous vehicle.

"What kind of car is that? Why did it drive onto the playground?"

"That's a Knight XVI! A fully armored vehicle! I saw it in a car magazine; it costs over 30 million!"

"Over thirty million? Even if all the cars owned by all the teachers in our school were combined, we couldn't afford just one!"

"Which super-big shot came to inspect the school?"

The car door opened.

Lin Ye jumped out of the driver's seat.

The pure black haute couture casual wear perfectly hugged his body lines.

His upright posture, honed through years of exposure to gunfire, gave him an aura of formidable power and intimidation.

But his young and handsome face also carried a touch of the sunshine of a college student.

Two completely different temperaments blended perfectly.

Exaggerated gasps erupted across the playground.

Countless girls' eyes lit up, and screams rose and fell.

"So handsome!"

"Is he a freshman? He's incredibly rich!"

"Driving an armored vehicle to school? That's an outrageous display of power!"
