So when Wang Fulai first heard the proposal, he furrowed his brow slightly.
He appeared reluctant.
But the method Zhang Deshuang proposed was already the best possible solution at this juncture.
Wang Fulai couldn't directly tell Zhang Deshuang and his son that he was there to monitor them, could he?
After much thought, Wang Fulai gritted his teeth and nodded.
He finally understood what it meant to be in a difficult situation!
Even if he didn't want to agree, he had to...
"Thank you both for your understanding," Wang Fulai said, holding back his frustration.
Zhang Deshuang, however, did not notice Wang Fulai's expression. He nodded slightly and said matter-of-factly, "It's nothing. The Dark Shadow organization also put in a lot of effort to get us out this time. It's only natural to be understanding of each other."
After speaking, Zhang Deshuang fell silent and no longer said anything.
Consequently, Wang Fulai also stopped speaking.
Mainly, he was afraid of being angered to death by Zhang Deshuang and his son!
He simply closed his mouth.
After escorting Zhang Deshuang and his son to the Dark Shadow organization's stronghold, Wang Fulai immediately left.
He didn't even bother to introduce them.
What a joke.
With Zhang Deshuang being so self-righteous, and Zhang Shaohua being so arrogant and overbearing.
Yet, the Zhang family was a collaborator of the Dark Shadow organization.
Wang Fulai couldn't even find a way to set them up; he could only coax them carefully.
Whoever was willing to talk to them could do so!
After leaving the Dark Shadow organization's stronghold, Wang Fulai headed straight for Yunlan Villa.
He went upstairs first and knocked on Da Xiong's door.
A moment later, Da Xiong walked out, looking exhausted.
As soon as he saw Wang Fulai, Da Xiong's face immediately darkened: "Brother Wang, what are you here for again? Didn't we say we'd tell you the result after we discussed it?"
Seeing this, Wang Fulai quickly put on a fawning smile and said, "Brother Yang, you misunderstand. I'm here to apologize specifically to you this time."
"After going back, I also thought carefully about what happened today. It was indeed my fault."
"Just treating you to a meal is no longer enough for this matter, so I wanted to ask, Brother Yang, what kind of compensation would you like?"
Da Xiong knew Wang Fulai would come to find him tonight, but he didn't expect Wang Fulai to not only come but also want to give him a gift?
Immediately, Da Xiong felt a slight smugness in his heart.
This was Wang Fulai's own initiative; it would be a waste not to take it!
So, Da Xiong, on the surface, put on an impatient demeanor.
"Oh, come on. I know you guys."
"You don't have much to offer, and if you say you're giving me something, it's all junk!"
Wang Fulai wiped the sweat from his forehead, unsure how to respond.
Because he had indeed intended to give Da Xiong some junk.
This way, he wouldn't have to spend money and could resolve the matter!
Who knew Da Xiong was so shrewd and wouldn't take any losses!
Thinking of this, Wang Fulai knew he couldn't appease Da Xiong today without a significant outlay.
For the sake of his grand plan.
Wang Fulai had no choice but to say, "Indeed, Brother Yang's family is wealthy, so everything looks like junk to you. But this Spirit Qi Pill is a small token of my sincerity. Please, Brother Yang, don't take offense!"
Spirit Qi Pill?
Da Xiong's eyes immediately lit up, and he looked down at Wang Fulai's hand.
He was indeed holding a small white porcelain bottle, which likely contained the Spirit Qi Pill.
Before, in the fifth mission, the reward for third place was this very item!
Da Xiong hadn't expected to receive it without doing anything, just by acting a little.
Immediately, Da Xiong stopped bothering with his persona.
He snatched the Spirit Qi Pill directly from Wang Fulai's hand and then said contentedly, "Given your sincerity, I'll forgive you."
"But let me make one thing clear, there won't be a next time!"
Seeing Da Xiong's uncultured behavior, Wang Fulai felt his heart bleeding.
But how could he take back what he had already given?
Wang Fulai could only watch helplessly as Da Xiong clutched the Spirit Qi Pill and chuckled dryly, "Brother Yang, you jest. I have truly reflected deeply on my mistakes this time, and there will never be a second time!"
"Since Brother Yang has forgiven me, then about going to the training camp..."
With the item in hand and a way out,
Da Xiong naturally wouldn't act haughty anymore.
So he waved his hand and said, "Of course, we'll go. It seems Brother Wang really values the three of us."
"How about this, for the sake of the Spirit Qi Pill, arrange for us whenever Brother Wang is convenient!"
Wang Fulai's eyelids twitched violently, his mouth contorted, and it seemed like smoke was rising from his head.
Yet, he had to say, "To avoid any further complications, shall we depart tonight?"
"I've already arranged for a dedicated car to wait at the entrance. This time, it will be solely to escort the three of you!"
Wang Fulai's words sounded pleasant, but in reality, he was afraid Da Xiong would go back on his word.
After all, the Dark Shadow organization was not a charity.
They wouldn't allow Wang Fulai to endlessly spend resources on Da Xiong.
If Da Xiong refused to bite the bait, Wang Fulai would not only fail to get credit for this matter.
He would even have to cover his previous losses himself!
Da Xiong sneered inwardly, seeing Wang Fulai's impatience.
But outwardly, he still agreed, "No problem, no problem. I'll go get the other two. See you downstairs later!"
Wang Fulai finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Da Xiong agree.
The heavy stone in his heart finally landed.
He kept looking back, earnestly saying, "Then you should hurry. If you go late, it will be difficult to arrange dormitories at the training camp!"
Da Xiong waved his hand impatiently and turned to knock on Zhou Yu and Ouyang Feng's doors.
After a while.
After confirming Wang Fulai had gone downstairs.
The three of them gathered together.
"It's clear that this Wang Fulai has lost most of his patience with us. We can't refuse this time," Da Xiong said sternly.
Ouyang Feng asked with a half-smile, "Can't refuse, or don't want to refuse? I heard everything you said just now. What did he give you?"
Da Xiong still had the Spirit Qi Pill Wang Fulai had given him tucked in his pocket.
Hearing this, he reluctantly took out the Spirit Qi Pill and showed it to the two of them.
"Here, this is what Wang Fulai gave me. He was afraid I'd change my mind," Da Xiong said.
Ouyang Feng reached out to take it.
Unexpectedly, Da Xiong's movements were incredibly swift.
After dangling the Spirit Qi Pill in front of Ouyang Feng for a moment, he immediately put it back in his pocket.
His cautious demeanor was amusing!
"He's really stingy..." Ouyang Feng couldn't help but rub his nose.
Zhou Yu waved his hand, signaling for the two to be quiet.
"Whatever you gain during this mission belongs to you and doesn't need to be handed in."
"Alright, let's go downstairs and find Wang Fulai now. Don't keep him waiting!"
