"Zhi zhi zhi! Zhi..."
After negotiating with Ah Bai, the Golden-edged Hedgehog was visibly upset, as if a modern scholar had met a soldier.
Ah Bai had just one thing to say back and forth.
Don't tell me so much, Brother Fox never mentioned these things to me, so I won't care even if you say them. Anyway, Brother Fox wouldn't deceive his brothers. Listening to Brother Fox, not only can I eat my fill, but my brothers under me can also eat well.
Left one sentence Brother Fox, right another sentence Brother Fox.
However, Brother Fox was not here, and Ah Bai was like a highly precise repeating machine.
It's true Ah Bai is a Spirit Beast, but when it comes to some modern common sense and knowledge, it's unaware.
But based on past experiences, the little master and the fox's master are friends. The little master trusts the fox, so it's okay for me to trust the fox.
Now, Da Fei has installed a subwoofer, and the payment app has more than 3,000 in reserve.
All of this was heard from Brother Fox.
The Golden-edged Hedgehog's persuasion failed, and it was instantly infuriated.
To the Golden-edged Hedgehog, the downtown territory actually had no meaning. It disdained managing it. Rather than managing downtown territory, it would be better off figuring out how to get an [Across-the-Shore Sightseeing Casino License].
Giving the territory to Master Fox and Ah Bai, the Golden-edged Hedgehog actually had no objections.
After all... that Master Fox swinging a safe is still quite intimidating to the hedgehog.
It had never seen such a strong and majestic male since it was born. Master Fox's bravery is simply an extraordinary miracle.
However.
In the negotiations for territory transfer, there was a disagreement between the Golden-edged Hedgehog and Ah Bai.
You can have the downtown territory if you like, but it's no longer the old world. Your actions will only bring calamity upon your Spirit Beast Gang.
You will attract the Security Bureau, and they use chemical reagents and glue bombs to capture Spirit Beasts.
Transform!
In today's society, being able to fight is useless. We Spirit Beasts must use our brains more to live a comfortable life.
In reality, the downtown territory no longer belonged to the Golden-edged Hedgehog but to Master Fox.
After witnessing Master Fox's ambition, the Golden-edged Hedgehog advised them to transform.
Don't stir up trouble in the city, drawing people who specialize in dealing with these kinds of things. You may be fearless, but at worst, you'll just go to jail. However, my cash reserves amount to billions, and I haven't spent them yet!
I'll help you transform, don't cheat me.
With your strength and my networking resources, we can absolutely grow and strengthen our operations across the shore and overseas. By then, we can enjoy life domestically and remotely control sightseeing and overseas casinos, living comfortably.
But that foolish dog simply couldn't understand the hedgehog's words.
It kept repeating, "Brother Fox didn't say that," "Stop saying things that don't matter. Brother Fox didn't say it, so it's a trap."
Your Brother Fox? Call him.
I don't know how!
The conversation circled back to the starting point.
"Zhi zhi zhi—"
The enraged Golden-edged Hedgehog kicked its legs and lay weakly in its velvet nest, waving feebly at Lin Hao, who held it in his arms: "Zhi zhi zhi..."
On hearing this, Lin Hao hurriedly took out the Hedgehog Granny's translation speaker from within his long coat and placed it in front of her.
The mature and alluring voice echoed in the underwater villa.
"There's no need to talk about it anymore. These fools all have rigid minds."
"Dear grandson, assure them that in the future, when you pass by the Changle River, you'll bring food as a toll. And in the future, we won't give them trouble, and they'll agree to escort us back to the city..."
The Hedgehog Granny's voice, as always, conjured up images of a mature and enchanting sexy older sister, but this time her voice held a hint of weariness.
"Should I?"
Hearing this, Lin Hao was taken aback, feeling this behavior was a bit like Reversed Celestial Spirits. But he looked towards the three major Spirit Beasts led by White Wolf, Lion, and Orca, and obediently followed Granny's instructions, swearing to Mazu.
Compared to the promises of the Golden-edged Hedgehog,
In the eyes of most Spirit Beasts, humans still held more authority.
In Ah Bai's eyes, Lin Hao was the real Captain behind the Da Fei crew, while the Golden-edged Hedgehog was just a stinky enforcer.
It was only reasonable for Lin Hao to make the oath.
Ah Bai had never thought that the hedgehog would be the leader, and Lin Hao and the other subordinates were all mounts of the Hedgehog Granny.
For Tu Song Ah Bai, this kind of thing was too world-shattering to even consider.
How could there be a dog so defiant, riding on the little master's back, "giddy-up"? Wasn't it afraid of ending up as stew?
...
After obtaining Lin Hao's assurance, Ah Bai and the Golden Lion went outside to distribute food, temporarily placing the Golden-edged Hedgehog and Lin Hao in the villa, preparing to blindfold them when they returned and send them back to the city.
"Dear grandson! Go inform the casino employees to maintain basic operation staffing, disperse people, and find that Three-tailed White Fox, this is not over..."
When there was no one else in the room, the Golden-edged Hedgehog, under Lin Hao's service, slowly lit a cigarette and said to Lin Hao: "Meanwhile, we might also need to consider moving the office, don't set it in the city."
"Granny... are we going to start a war?" Lin Hao's expression shifted, moving closer to Granny while lowering his voice to ask.
"What war? Are you planning on using a rocket launcher in the city to shoot a Class II protected animal?"
The Hedgehog Granny, sitting in the little nest, stretched out a long arm and flicked the ash outside the nest:
"Although Granny doesn't know what the fox is plotting, letting him run amok would obviously draw official-level people over. Most of our industries can't see the light. If negotiations fail, we must prepare to relocate and lay low."
"By the way, don't relocate too cleanly. Leave a few ship masters to expose themselves as sacrifices, willing to go and give them a two million settlement. During their hardship, we'll manage all the matters big and small for their families..."
"Two million? That might require drawing lots..." Lin Hao muttered to himself.
To earn two million within three years, it would be a fierce competition for the ship masters used to prison life, especially for those who hadn't been caught before, they'd go crazy.
In this trade, the first time getting caught results in a light sentence, and with efforts from the Captain, most end up with a suspension, even though the heavier sentences are no more than one and a half years. The second capture guarantees one to three years, and the third time is definitely three years or more.
The ship master's career only allows for two chances.
At three-thirty in the morning, back at Hailing Long, the Golden-edged Hedgehog returned to the office to take a bath while Lin Hao went to arrange affairs.
Find that White Fox!
The Hedgehog Granny wants to discuss some business with him.
Lin Hao went to the surveillance room, looking at the computer tower in the surveillance room. Everything seemed normal with the case, but inside, the mechanical hard drive's core components were exposed to the air, spinning, with a screwdriver tossed beside it.
"That Three-tailed White Fox might be far more cunning than we imagined..."
...
"Xiaolan... wake up! Mom's asking you, who suggested going to the club for a foot massage last night?"
"Wha...?"
Yu Xueqing placed the phone next to Ansheng's ear, letting Ansheng answer Chen Peipei's call, leaving Ansheng bewildered:
"What's the matter? It's just a foot massage, right? We didn't book any additional services."
