Chapter 26: Becoming Goods
"Come on, drink!"
In a dimly lit, luxurious private room of a high-end KTV, surrounded by beautiful women, fine wine, and melodious music, a world of debauchery and decadence is corrupting the minds of everyone in the room.
Suddenly, Zhou Luming put down his arms, which were wrapped around two women, and said drunkenly to the man next to him, "Old Liu, I'm going to the restroom."
"Brother Lu Ming, let us help you."
Before the man could speak, the two beautiful women on either side of Zhou Luming offered to help him up while laughing and saying, "Yes, you're drunk, be careful."
"Are you kidding? I can drink a ton of alcohol, how could I get drunk?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Lu Ming is the best..."
Before the woman could finish speaking, Zhou Luming's expressionless driver, secretary, and bodyguard, Lao Wang, pushed past her and, without a word, half-supported, half-carried Zhou Luming to the restroom.
A woman looked at Old Wang's retreating figure, and said disdainfully in a low voice, "Pah, what's so great about a mere watchdog?"
"..."
After Zhou Luming came out, Old Wang accompanied him back, saying emotionlessly, "Boss, you have to go back now. You have to meet with guests tomorrow."
"You're just an employee, yet you're dictating the boss's work."
A woman glared at Old Wang while trying to take Zhou Luming from him.
However, Old Wang stopped him with his hand and said coldly, "Sorry, this is part of my job."
"Heh~"
The woman sneered as she forced Old Wang's hand away with the ball, then instantly changed her expression, hugging Zhou Luming and rubbing against a tree like a bear, while coquettishly hinting in her voice, "Brother Luming, look at you, you're always like this, you're never satisfied."
However, we can understand that you are a big shot and your career is your priority.
However, you also need to think about yourself and take good care of your health.
After that woman finished speaking, another woman chimed in from the side, "Take a break now and then, and balance work and rest. That's how you can work more efficiently."
"My sister and I have just learned some massage techniques recently, so why don't we help Lu Ming relax a bit?"
"Yeah, yeah, Brother Lu Ming."
"Gulp~"
Zhou Luming swallowed hard, paused for half a second to think, and then immediately agreed, "Okay, then I'll indulge myself a little tonight."
After saying that, Zhou Luming said somewhat anxiously to Liu Anbang, who had been silently observing, "Old Liu, let's talk next time, I'm leaving now."
Liu Anbang stood up with a fawning smile and nodded, saying, "Brother Zhou, you're busy."
"..."
After Zhou Luming was supposed to leave, Liu Anbang's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly followed him out.
"Xiaoyong, go to the airport and book the earliest flight out of the country."
After getting into the car, Liu Anbang first told the driver, Zhou Xiaoyong, and then took out an old keypad phone and made a call: "The goods need to be packed, settle the payment quickly."
"The final payment will be deposited into your Citibank account within twenty minutes."
"Okay~ Whew~"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Anbang first broke the SIM card, then threw away the phone, finally let out a heavy sigh, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and muttered to himself, "I hope I can come back alive..."
"..."
"Old Wang, after you've booked a room for me, you can go home."
Remember to wake me up at 9 a.m. tomorrow and pick me up at 9:30 a.m.
After saying that, Zhou Luming smelled the milky aroma, while Old Wang kept his eyes fixed ahead and calmly replied, "Boss, I'll stay next door tonight so you can call me anytime if you need anything."
Before Zhou Luming could object, Lao Wang added, "If you don't agree, I'll stay wherever you are tonight, unless you fire me."
"you……"
"Brother Lu Ming, don't be angry."
Before Zhou Luming could even unleash his fury, a woman unexpectedly offered a reassuring reassurance: "You're a national hero now, with a prestigious status, so you definitely need to be careful. Why don't you let him stay next door?"
"That's right, that's right~ Brother Lu Ming, you are the father of intelligent robots and the future richest man in the world, you really need to pay attention to your safety."
"..."
Under their flattery, Zhou Luming's anger vanished instantly, and his arrogance and smugness were clearly visible. However, he said insincerely, "Oh, not at all. There are too many fools and scammers online. Don't believe what they say. Be careful and don't get fooled."
"Brother Lu Ming, you're so kind~"
"..."
Along the way, when no one was around, Zhou Luming wanted to blend in with the two women, but when there were other people around, he pretended to be serious and kept his distance from them, fully demonstrating what it meant to be a respectable person.
After entering the room, taking a shower, drinking some red wine, closing his eyes, drooping his head, and lying down on the ground, Zhou Luming fell into a deep sleep.
"Clap clap clap~"
A woman patted Zhou Luming's face hard, and finding he didn't react, she was completely relieved. She excitedly exchanged a glance with another person: "We're going to become upper-class people!"
"Call quickly, I'll go check the peephole, make sure the guy downstairs next door doesn't see us."
"Uh-huh."
The woman, her hands trembling, suppressed her excitement as she spoke to the person on the other end of the phone, "He took his medicine and is already asleep!"
On the other end of the phone, a voice equally choked with suppressed excitement replied, "Where are his bodyguards?"
"It's next door."
Where are his clothes?
"Don't worry, while he was showering, we put his clothes and phone into the hotel's public washing machine as planned."
"Okay, wait, we'll go up now."
"Hurry up."
"..."
After a while, two furtive men pushed a large box into the room: "Where is he?"
"It's inside."
"Keep an eye on the door, and whatever you do, don't let his bodyguards find out, or we're all dead!"
"Stop talking nonsense, finish the job and get out of here."
"..."
The large box was clearly custom-made for Zhou Luming, as it was just the right size to fit him.
The four men then swaggered out of the hotel, pushing their suitcases, and got into an SUV.
Next, the four of them neither took the highway to the border, nor drove to the seaside, nor went to the airport. Instead, they went to an urban village with closely packed buildings.
"Shh, keep your voice down."
After getting off the bus, the four of them sneaked into a house with a rooftop, carrying their suitcases.
The four people went up to the rooftop and then took the escalator that had been prepared in advance to the neighboring house.
Since it was already late at night, the four of them carried the boxes across the rooftops of several closely packed buildings without any major incidents.
Then, the four of them, carrying the boxes, sneaked downstairs and got into an occupied RV.
"Did you bring the goods?"
Inside the RV, the driver, who was already waiting, excitedly asked as he drove away, "Did anyone spot us?"
"Don't worry, we'll have a safe journey with the goods!"
One person answered, then finally couldn't contain himself and shouted excitedly from inside the car, "Hahaha, we did it! We're rich!"
"Luxury homes, luxury cars, and beautiful women, here we come!"
Amid cheers from the people inside, the RV gradually drove away from the city and onto a highway.
