Wudu City, Yuzhong District, Water Pavilion Nightclub.
This was a very special nightclub. All the hostesses working here were female university students from prestigious universities.
Each of them was tall, with delicate features, spoke eloquently, and possessed outstanding academic and cultural cultivation.
Their attire was also very tasteful, unlike the heavily made-up women in roadside establishments. The Water Pavilion's university students each had their own unique charm.
Some were pure and cute, some lively and spirited, some as cold as ice, and some as passionate as fire.
Not a single one was vulgar.
They did not accompany guests for drinks, nor did they engage in physical intimacy. Their sole job was to chat with guests, and they could converse fluently on any topic.
From national affairs, global landscapes, and life aspirations, to football, basketball, video games, and mundane family matters, they could analyze everything with keen insight.
Furthermore, each university student was skilled in singing and dancing, and proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
By simply chatting with guests every day, they could earn a fortune.
This was a place every man in Wudu City longed to visit, but not everyone could afford it. To patronize this establishment, one needed not only a lot of money but also a certain level of academic and cultural refinement.
Without taste, you wouldn't even be able to keep up a conversation with these young ladies.
On many occasions, coal tycoons and nouveau riche, upon hearing about this place, came to witness the excellence of these women. The result was that these parvenus were so utterly embarrassed by the ladies' conversations that they had to return and study diligently for three months before they could barely exchange a few words with them.
Only those truly noble individuals, possessing wealth, knowledge, and cultivation, could truly thrive at the Water Pavilion Nightclub.
Therefore.
Men took pride in being able to spend money at the Water Pavilion.
If they could win the favor of a particular young lady, that would be even more gratifying.
There was one man who loved coming to the Water Pavilion Nightclub the most, almost to the point of visiting daily. And each time he came, he received special preferential treatment.
He was the Sleeping Dragon of Wudu City – Han Shichong!
On this day, Han Shichong arrived at the entrance of the Water Pavilion Nightclub in his Maybach S600. Under the enthusiastic reception of the staff, he entered the exclusive svip private room.
Three university students entered the room one after another, accompanying Han Shichong for dinner and conversation.
One was delicate and dependent, one was sexy and fiery, and one was as cold as ice. The three young women offered Han Shichong three different experiences, delighting him immensely.
Money was scattered in large quantities.
Just as they were having a pleasant conversation.
A server knocked on the door and entered, saying, "Lord Sleeping Dragon, your spokesperson, Xue Zong, has arrived and said he has something urgent to discuss with you."
Han Shichong frowned with considerable dissatisfaction.
He was enjoying his meal and conversation, and Xue Zong's arrival at this moment was a definite spoiler.
So annoying.
Han Shichong said impatiently, "Let him in."
A moment later, Xue Zong walked in. His dejected expression was evident, as if he had been bullied.
Huh?
Han Shichong blinked, thinking, "In Wudu City, is there anyone who dares to bully Xue Zong?"
So, Han Shichong gently picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and asked casually, "Why the long face? Did you finish delivering the wreath to Old Master Su as I instructed?"
Xue Zong's face was ashen as he replied, "I botched the job."
"What?" Han Shichong said with extreme displeasure, "You can't even handle such a small matter? What's the point of having you?"
Xue Zong quickly explained, "It's not that I couldn't handle it, but someone interfered! That Su Wanran, I don't know where she found a helper, but he's incredibly powerful. First, he beat up your sister, Han Yun, and then, with just a few words, forced Su Feiyang to retract our wreath. That villain even said he's not afraid of the Sleeping Dragon at all and threatened to turn the Sleeping Dragon into a dead dragon!"
So arrogant.
In Wudu City, such an arrogant person actually exists?
Han Shichong narrowed his eyes. He didn't get angry immediately but calmly analyzed, "My sister's martial arts, while not top-tier, are far beyond ordinary people. If this fellow could defeat my sister, it means he has some skill. Moreover, since he dared to mock me in public, it means he came prepared."
Xue Zong asked, "Lord Sleeping Dragon, you're not just going to let this slide, are you?"
Let it slide?
Of course not.
If he let this pass, how would Han Shichong maintain his standing in Wudu City in the future? This insult had to be avenged, but the question was, how?
Han Shichong said, "This villain isn't the key. He's just a helper Su Wanran hired. Our primary target should still be Su Wanran herself."
Saying this, he took out a waist token from his belt and threw it to Xue Zong.
The Sleeping Dragon Token!!!
Han Shichong was following the example of the Dragon Warlord.
The Dragon Warlord had the Dragon Token, and seeing the token was like seeing the Warlord himself, capable of mobilizing five-star generals and commanding vast armies. Han Shichong's Sleeping Dragon Token had a similar effect.
He said, "Take my Sleeping Dragon Token to the Merit and Punishment Hall, and select a capable subordinate whom you believe can deal with Su Wanran, to assist you."
Xue Zong took the token, his eyes shining.
The Merit and Punishment Hall was a special department created by Han Shichong, gathering twelve highly capable subordinates! Each of them possessed the ability to handle matters independently and was invincible.
It was with these twelve subordinates that Han Shichong had swept through the entire Wudu City.
Now that Han Shichong had handed the token to Xue Zong, Xue Zong had the authority to mobilize any of them. With that, whether it was Lu Ming or Su Wanran, they could be dealt with as he pleased!
"Your subordinate will attend to it immediately!!!" Xue Zong happily turned and ran off. The humiliation Lu Ming had inflicted on him at the funeral would be repaid tenfold!
...
At the same time, Lu Ming was unaware that Xue Zong was plotting to deal with him.
He got into Su Wanran's car and headed towards a range of mountains in Wudu City, in search of a legendary eccentric with extraordinary talent in gene synthesis – Sun Yao.
Along the way, Su Wanran briefly introduced Sun Yao to Lu Ming.
Sun Yao was once an outstanding figure in the National Academy of Sciences. At a young age, he achieved the status of academician and made numerous significant contributions in gene synthesis.
However, later, Sun Yao was stripped of his academician title due to his improper conduct and was subsequently expelled from the National Academy of Sciences.
After leaving, he returned to his hometown, Wudu City, and hid in the mountains, continuing his research in gene synthesis.
Over ten years had passed.
Now, no one knew the extent of Sun Yao's research in gene synthesis, but one thing was certain: his research in this field was definitely the best in the country! Perhaps even the best in the world!
However, due to his reprehensible conduct, the country had never recruited him.
Su Wanran sighed and said, "I have never met this person. Previously, my grandfather would go to invite him out of seclusion, but he was never successful. I only know that he has a capricious personality and his conduct is terrible, but I don't know the specifics of how terrible. Everything will only be known after meeting Sun Yao himself."
