“The third category is too uncontrollable and self-destructive, so I’m not considering it for now. The first category mainly consists of major organization members—too troublesome. That is to say, for someone like me, the second category seems most suitable,”
Li Chengyi slowly opened his eyes, a glint of cold light flashing across his gaze beneath his glasses
“Buddy, which part of the downtown area are you heading to? Just saying ‘Jiguang Road’ is a bit too vague, the area is too large,” asked the young driver, who was driving.
“I’m not going to Jiguang Road anymore,” Li Chengyi said with a slight smile. “Driver, let’s change to Peace Road. I’ve heard that the nightlife here in Suiyang is quite rich; I plan to experience it thoroughly.”
“Nightlife, eh? It’s more or less the same everywhere, but Peace Road’s Tranquil Waters indeed has its charm. It’s the highest grade in our Suiyang, even the most luxurious venue on the ground,” the driver said, instantly perking up at the subject.
“I’ve driven quite a few customers there; the minimum spend is three thousand, no cap. It’s a gold pit for the wealthy!”

“I’ve only heard of it, never been there. Such a big place, is it safe?” Li Chengyi asked seriously.
“Of course it’s safe, you know who the boss behind Tranquil Waters is?” asked the driver, lowering his voice.
“Who?”
“Suiyang’s iron head, Long Shangui!” the driver chuckled in a way that suggested everyone would understand. “On the ground surfaces of Suiyang, every nightclub has shares owned by Brother Long. Those without his shares don’t last long.”
“He’s that influential?” Li Chengyi exclaimed in surprise.
“Just that awesome! On the streets of Suiyang, Brother Long is number one,” the driver spoke with pride as if he knew all the ins and outs.
“That’s remarkable,” Li Chengyi commented, thinking such a person must indeed have a strong will.
“Yeah, really remarkable. They say Brother Long is only forty-one and at such an age he has carved out a fortune that most people wouldn’t even dare dream of in their lifetimes—total badass!” the driver said with an envious expression.
“Okay! Then let’s head to this Tranquil Waters!” Li Chengyi made his decision on the spot.
He took out his phone and quickly sent a message to his parents to report his safety, then sent another query to his boss, asking for assistance in collecting private information about Brother Long’s whereabouts.
To avoid fake and inferior data, he also asked to have the private addresses of other gang leaders in Suiyang City checked as well.
Ding-dong.
“When you’re away on business, make sure to take care of your health. Don’t eat things carelessly and get a stomachache. Be careful not to catch a cold. Your dad and I are doing well at the factory lately; we’ve gotten pay raises, so don’t worry about us at home.” —Mom.
“Be mindful of your safety; I’ve got everything covered at home.” —Dad.
Messages from his parents were as usual, each with its own unique touch.
Li Chengyi replied to each one of them.
Ding-dong.
Another new message came in.
“Tell your friend to be careful; lately, something’s not right.” —Xindela.
“Got it!” Li Chengyi replied quickly. The message was clear from Ding Ning, the old fellow who tests Mecha Engineers officially, and from his boss—the situation was amiss.
This heightened Li Chengyi’s sense of alertness.
“I’ve found some clues on my side; might need your help later, but I’m busy now. We’ll talk when I’m free.” —Xindela.
Along with the message, a file containing the addresses and summaries of known and named criminal gang leaders in Suiyang had also been sent over.
Li Chengyi quickly replied with no problem and then opened the attachment to view it.
Names on the list were marked with the corresponding crimes they had committed.
Everyone in the attachment was known to be involved in the cases, but they couldn’t be prosecuted due to a lack of evidence.
Li Chengyi skimmed over the names in the attachment, quickly zeroing in on a few.
“Chen Sui: Once imprisoned for organ trafficking, he was released early on parole. Three years ago, he was prosecuted for human trafficking, but with no solid evidence and the mysterious disappearance of the prosecutor, the case remains unresolved.”
“Song Chengtao: Linked to fifteen consecutive cases of assault leading to death, his three bars and nightclubs have been found multiple times dealing hallucinogenic drugs, and to date, he remains at large thanks to scapegoats and lack of substantial evidence.”
Apart from these two, there was Brother Long. Long Shangui’s criminal record was many times greater than the previous two, incorporating murder, arson, rape, and drug trafficking—he was involved in almost everything.
Additionally, gambling is not illegal in Yi Country; otherwise, this crime would be added to the list, completing the trio of yellow, gambling, and drugs.
Having identified his targets, Li Chengyi turned off his phone, knowing he must address his body’s protection issue as soon as possible.
The second evolution of the Wisteria Floral Dress could invisibly attach to any clothing and armor, providing covert daily security.
Hence, this collection of Evil Thoughts must be expedited!
Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of a two-story tall and broad building.
The entrance was lined with various sleek luxury cars, and the occasional flying car slowly descended, parking in the directed spots under the guidance of the attendants.
Above the main door, a massive neon sign featuring both Yi Country and White Star script glowed alternately with a golden halo.
“Tranquil Waters”—the four characters appeared luxurious and restless against the night sky.
Far from the promised serenity.
“We’re here, this is the place,” the driver said with a smile.
“This place isn’t tranquil at all,” Li Chengyi observed.
“I think so too, but regardless of the vulgarity, aren’t all these kinds of venues the same?” the driver replied.
Li Chengyi paid via a QR code and got out of the car.
Observing the glittering, expansive building that stretched around him for dozens of meters,
“So, how should I begin to find the right materials?”
He had his own plans and ideas for the continual acquisition of Evil Thoughts.
This was merely a trial run.
