In the park, no matter day or night, there is always a sense of silence and depression.

Although there is sufficient daylight, it cannot dispel the gloomy atmosphere. Although the lights at night flicker, they only reflect the loneliness and desolation.

Except for the brief relaxation during the monthly performance settlement, people gathered together, and laughter and cheers temporarily broke the depression.

But such a scene is just a flash in the pan.

On weekdays, there are few people in the park. Everyone is deeply involved in their own battles and calculations, and there is no extra energy for socializing.

Looking back on my year, I can’t help but sigh.

I thought that with my own ability and the firm support of He Hong and Chen Tianxiang, I could easily defeat Hu Laosan and control the entire park.

But things went against my expectations. Hu Laosan's unexpected move was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing my confidence in winning.

I have to admit that, in addition to his cunning, my ego was a key factor in this defeat.

Since a year ago, I have been secretly planning to enter the metaverse field, trying to achieve a breakthrough through this new battlefield.

I thought I could change the rules of the game on my own and become the supreme ruler of the park.

However, the reality is far more complicated than imagined. Although my plan is quite forward-looking, it is also full of uncertainties and risks.

Hu Laosan's sudden attack was undoubtedly a major test of my strategy.

Standing on the balcony of the villa, looking at the night sky, I thought silently in my heart.

The stars in the night sky made me feel a little emotional.

The cigarette in my hand gradually burned out, and the cigarette butts were stacked with other cigarette butts in the ashtray, quietly releasing the last heat.

I whispered to myself: "Time flies so fast..."

Back in my room, I grabbed a box of unopened Yuxi cigarettes and had already planned my next move.

I packed my luggage carefully and made sure all the necessities were in place. Then I glanced at the watch on my wrist to confirm the time, and then stepped out.

Outside, Wang Meng was already waiting by the car.

When he saw me, his eyes were full of doubts and worries, as if he was trying to read some clues from my expression.

After starting the car, he asked in a deep voice: "Brother Lei, where are we going now?"

There was uncertainty and worry about the unknown in his voice.

I took a deep breath and replied calmly: "You drive out of the park first."

"Oh... OK." Wang Meng responded, and then slowly drove the car out of the park.

The car was bumping along the winding dirt road.

The surrounding scenery was desolate, with few signs of life except for the occasional passing shadow of a tree.

Our car ended up in a remote, sparsely populated area.

As soon as the car stopped, I quickly took out my mobile phone and dialed Zhao Yuan's number.

The call was quickly connected, and Zhao Yuan's voice on the other end was clear and calm: "We'll be here in one hour."

"Okay." I responded briefly and hung up the phone.

I know that what comes next is full of uncertainty, but for the sake of my goals, I have to keep my spirits up.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm the tension and anxiety in my heart.

I took out a cigarette casually, handed one to Wang Meng, and said in a low voice: "For a while, no matter what happens, you have to pretend you don't know anything. Do you understand?"

There was seriousness and determination in my eyes.

Wang Meng took the cigarette, his eyes full of worry and confusion: "Brother Lei, what is going on?"

I lighted the cigarette lightly, took a deep breath, and slowly blew out the smoke ring: "Don't ask more about things you shouldn't know. For you, the less you know, the safer it is."

I know very well that at this time, the less information, the more protective it is for him.

The hesitation in Wang Meng's eyes eased slightly, and he finally nodded without saying anything else.

The cause of the incident goes back to two days ago.

I asked Zhao Yuan to go to the old street and find Wei Rong.

More than ten hours ago, I had a crucial conversation with Wei Rong over the phone.

And now, Zhao Yuan has returned from the old street, taking Wei Jian with her.

The purpose of tonight is to meet with Wei Jian to discuss the details of the next cooperation.

Joining forces with the Wei family is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger!

However, in my current situation, I have no choice!

Time passed quietly and unconsciously.

When a commercial vehicle slowly stopped not far away, my phone vibrated.

After taking a look at the caller ID, I gently opened the door and walked steadily towards the commercial vehicle.

Zhao Yuan got out of the car lightly, gave me a confirming look, then turned and walked towards Wang Meng's car.

The drivers and bodyguards of the commercial vehicle also got out of the car, and Wei Jian sat in the back seat, showing me a sly smile and motioning for me to get in the car.

I stepped into the car and closed the door.

The space in the car suddenly became quiet, and only Wei Jian and I were left.

Wei Jian handed me a cigarette in the dim car, with a hint of concern in his eyes: "Old Yang, I haven't seen you for a while, why have you become so haggard?"

There was a hint of teasing in his tone, but his eyes revealed genuine concern.

I took the cigarette, turned it gently but did not light it, and said with a relaxed smile: "Brother Jian, how is your recovery?"

Wei Jian chuckled and shook his head: "I was just shot once, so I won't die. This small injury is nothing."

He was full of confidence. As he spoke, he lit the cigarette and took a deep breath.

In the smoke, his expression became serious and he looked directly at me: "Have you really thought about it?"

I nodded and said in a firm voice: "As long as I can become the person in charge of the park, I will do what your sister asks."

After hearing my answer, Wei Jian showed a satisfied smile and patted my shoulder heavily: "You kid, it would have been easier if you had agreed earlier. How do you need me to help you now?"

I pondered for a moment and said: "My current situation is relatively delicate and I am being monitored. I need some customers to support the projects I am promoting. I hope Brother Jian can provide the necessary help when the time comes."

I paused and continued: "I will personally promote this project. Once the performance is improved and Hu Laosan's problem is solved, I will start to act according to Sister Rong's plan."

"Would you like me to transfer a few more projects to you?" Wei Jian suggested.

I shook my head: "No, I just need Brother Jian and your gouti to help me attract customers."

"Are you sure you can handle Hu Laosan just like this?" Wei Jian's eyes flashed with scrutiny.

I nodded and said, "If the performance improves, it shouldn't be a big problem."

He nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, if you need any other help, just ask. In the future, use this phone to contact me."

He handed me a new mobile phone: "If you can't contact me, there is a backup number in the address book, just call that one."

I took the phone and nodded in response. Then I opened the door and quickly got out of the car and returned to my car without stopping any longer.
