I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

After Bai Lu finished speaking, she looked at the energy liquid piled up in the first-floor hall.

"You're just leaving it here like this?" Bai Lu asked with some concern. "What if someone steals it or robs it..."

Wang Wei smiled upon hearing this.

grab?

Who could possibly steal the energy liquid from him?

"Have you forgotten what kind of business this shop is in?" Wang Wei joked. "It would be great if someone actually came to steal or rob us."

Bai Lu was taken aback.

She then realized what was happening.

This shop is so powerful that even the five major families of Emperor Star City are forced to bow down; how could they possibly worry about being robbed?

Wang Wei continued, "Just spend the money for three bottles of energy liquid."

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking out of the shop window at the bustling commercial street.

"This shop will soon become the most famous shop in all the star systems, so we can't be shabby."

At this point, Wang Wei took out ten bottles of energy liquid and handed them to Bai Lu: "Decorate according to this standard. There is no upper limit."

Bai Lu took the energy liquid, her fingers trembling slightly.

Ten vials of energy liquid, worth three hundred billion Imperial Coins, were placed so lightly in her palm.

"Okay...okay." Bai Lu nodded blankly.

She suddenly felt that the job of connecting with Wang Wei seemed like a good one.

Moreover, the way he casually tossed her the energy liquid—it was so cool!

"Please wait a moment." Bai Lu unconsciously changed her way of addressing him.

She tapped the device on her wrist, and a purple light emanated from it, scanning all three floors of the store.

She stood there for a few seconds, then said to Wang Wei, "It's done."

Wang Wei was taken aback.

Bai Lu explained, "I just posted a renovation task on the virtual network, and a company has already accepted the order based on your budget. Thirty million Imperial Coins, all-inclusive."

"When will the renovation be finished?" Wang Wei asked.

"They'll be here soon," Bai Lu said. "They can finish the job tonight."

Wang Wei was somewhat surprised; the efficiency was surprisingly high!

However, this is, after all, the Imperial Star City, so it makes sense.

"Okay." Wang Wei nodded. "Then let them do the renovations. Let's go out for a meal."

As Wang Wei spoke, he walked out.

Bai Lu quickly reminded her, "These energy liquids..."

"Just leave it there," Wang Wei said deliberately.

But in his heart, he silently vowed, "Exchange them all."

"Successfully exchanged for Origin Energy, accumulating 980000000 billion Safety Points."

Bai Lu looked at the empty boxes with a worried expression and followed Wang Wei outside.

She didn't know the boxes were empty and was still wondering what would happen if someone broke in.

The entire commercial street is within Wang Wei's safe house territory.

He arrived at a luxurious restaurant without even needing to use a mirror.

The restaurant's facade is resplendent in gold, with two large, gilded characters engraved on the lintel: "He Yuan".

A dark red starry velvet carpet was laid at the entrance, and a servant stood on each side, his uniform impeccably tailored, his chin slightly raised, and his eyes filled with an arrogance ingrained in his very bones.

Bai Lu remained silent the whole way, obediently following behind.

Just as Wang Wei was about to go in, two servants at the door stopped him.

The servant on the left looked Wang Wei up and down, a faint sneer appearing on his lips.

His gaze lingered on Wang Wei's black casual clothes for a moment. "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

Wang Wei was taken aback.

The attendant on the right then spoke up, "We operate on a members-only basis; you can't enter without a reservation. And—"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Wang Wei's empty hands and Bai Lu's ordinary law enforcement uniform. "Membership system, you understand? Not just anyone can get in."

The attendant on the left added insult to injury: "Why don't you go check out the street across the street? There are fast food options there, reasonably priced and with large portions. Perfect for the two of you."

The two of them sang in unison, their lips curled into standard fake smiles, but their eyes were full of contempt.

That contempt wasn't deliberately directed at Wang Wei; it was ingrained in his very being.

To them, ordinary-dressed people without appointments are simply insignificant members of the lower class.

Wang Wei was now completely dumbfounded.

He thought he was famous enough, but he was still stopped by someone.

It seems that although the "No rip-offs on the poor" signboard is impressive, the servants guarding the door are clearly not interested in trending topics on the internet.

Bai Lu stepped forward and whispered a reminder, "This is a private, customized restaurant; even if you have money, you might not be able to get in. Let's go somewhere else."

The attendant on the left, who spoke first, chimed in at the opportune moment: "Your girlfriend is right. He Garden isn't a place you can just enter with money."

Another attendant added, "It's a bit embarrassing to say, but that's the reality."

The two people on either side, singing in unison, truly exemplified snobbery to the fullest extent.

Passersby began to stop and watch.

Someone recognized Wang Wei, their eyes widened suddenly, and their mouth opened and closed.

"Isn't that the owner of the shop that doesn't rip off the poor? What's he doing here?"

"It seems the shop owner was stopped."

"Haha, this is going to be interesting. Has the He family bitten off more than they can chew?"

Shh—keep your voice down, just watch the show.

The two servants listened to the surrounding chatter, and their expressions gradually turned ugly.

They weren't stupid; they sensed something was amiss from the whispers.

This young man seems to be extraordinary.

But the He family is their source of confidence.

Moreover, they were certain that this unfamiliar young man was not from one of the five great families.

Wang Wei's expression was unusually calm.

He looked at the servant on his left: "What did you ask me just now?"

The attendant paused, then repeated somewhat impatiently, "I asked you—do you have an appointment?"

"This problem requires 100,000 vials of energy liquid," Wang Wei said.

The two servants paused for a second, then burst out laughing at the same time.

"Hahaha--"

"One hundred thousand vials of energy liquid? Are you out of your mind?"

"I'll deliver 100,000 vials of energy liquid to the store before I finish eating," Wang Wei said, walking straight inside. "Otherwise, this store won't be able to stay open."

The two servants froze on the spot, reaching out to stop them, but an invisible pressure pressed down on their shoulders.

Bai Lu stared blankly at Wang Wei, then quickly followed him.

The moment Wang Wei and Bai Lu entered, they immediately attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant.

Some people saw Wang Wei's face clearly, their wine glasses hovering in mid-air, their knives and forks resting on their lips.

After a short while, most people quickly looked away.

"Why make things difficult for them?" Bai Lu said softly, feeling a little sorry for them. "They simply can't come up with 100,000 vials of energy liquid."

Wang Wei found an empty table and sat down, saying softly, "They can't afford it, but the He family can."

Bai Lu was taken aback.

She seemed to understand.

Wang Wei didn't come here to eat; he came to fish.

Seeing this, Wang Wei smiled and said, "Do you think I have it easy? Even when I'm eating, I'm thinking about how to make money."

At that moment, a waiter walked over timidly.

She clearly knew who it was; her hands were trembling.

"She'll order," Wang Wei gestured.

Bai Lu didn't hesitate and ordered a few dishes.

The waiter, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, scurried away.

Wang Wei stretched and yawned. He had collected nearly a million energy liquids today, and he was indeed a little tired.

"Making money is hard," Wang Wei sighed, deeply feeling that doing business is not easy.

Of the five major families in Dixing City, the Bai, Yang, and Xin families were all fleeced by him, but the He and Gu families have not shown up.

He decided to patronize the restaurant because it was owned by the He family, one of the five major families.

Unexpectedly, they found an excuse as soon as they arrived.

Bai Lu stared blankly at Wang Wei.

What is he saying? He thinks it's difficult to earn nearly a million bottles of energy liquid a day?

She found herself unable to understand this young man.

He appears approachable, yet he keeps people at arm's length.

Bai Lu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "If the He family doesn't give it to you, will you really let this restaurant close down?"

"How could that be!" Wang Wei laughed.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm from the Enforcement Division, you still have to abide by the Imperial Law..."

She hadn't finished speaking.

Wang Wei picked up his teacup, blew on it gently, and slowly added, "At most, we'll remove the He family from the list of the five great families."

The restaurant fell silent instantly.

Everyone realized that the He family was in trouble!
