13: Lots of money

"Mr. Chen, please take care!" The salesperson bowed ninety degrees to see Chen Ming off.

At this moment, he was completely convinced by Chen Ming; his words were like an imperial decree.

After seeing Chen Ming off, he quickly took out his phone and called the general manager who was still messing around outside.

He wanted him to quickly arrange personnel, get the cars and fuel ready, and send them to Chen Ming.

The general manager initially found it troublesome, thinking it was a small matter the salesperson could handle himself without bothering him.

But when he heard that Chen Ming had spent nearly two hundred million in the store, he immediately said, "I'll be right there," and hung up the phone, clearly in a hurry...

As for Chen Ming, he found a security modification company that specialized in providing security modification services and bodyguard personnel.

The reason Chen Ming sought them out was to have these people raise the villa's security level as high as possible!

"Mr. Chen, this is our company's service price list. You can take a look." Seeing that the car Chen Ming drove was quite valuable, Vice President Liu Xiangnan personally received him.

He urgently needed performance!

"Is the highest level only SSS-level?" Chen Ming asked for confirmation.

"In fact, above SSS-level, there are SSSS and SSSSS, but the labor and material costs for these two projects are simply too expensive, and adding them would just be a waste of paper," Liu Xiangnan said truthfully.

"Then I'll choose the 5S-grade." Chen Ming decided readily.

"Mr. Chen, you're not kidding, right? A 5S protection level would cost at least seven or eight hundred million," Liu Xiangnan stated the price.

"As long as the security is sufficient, money is not a problem." As a gesture to build trust, Chen Ming transferred a two hundred million deposit to Liu Xiangnan.

Seeing the money arrive, Liu Xiangnan suddenly stood up from his seat and bowed, saying, "Chen Zong, please rest assured, our Xuanwu Security will definitely not let you down!"

"Thank you for your trouble." Since the matter was settled, Chen Ming didn't need to stay any longer. He got up and waved goodbye.

"I'll see you to the door." Liu Xiangnan quickly followed.

...

"Chen Zong, please take care." Liu Xiangnan didn't care about the onlookers' stares and still bowed ninety degrees to see him off.

"Old Liu? Who is that kid that he can make you so humble?" The company director witnessed everything, got out of the car, and asked curiously.

"Zhang Dong, you don't know, Chen Zong is the first customer, besides the government, to purchase the SSSSS-level protection package since our Xuanwu Company was established," Liu Xiangnan replied.

"What! SSSSS-level? Are you sure you weren't fooled?" Zhang Dong asked in disbelief.

"I'm very sure!" Liu Xiangnan nodded heavily. "You should be familiar with the residence where he needs to increase the security level, the detached villa in Fushan Residence."

"That luxurious detached villa on the lone mountain worth hundreds of millions?" Zhang Dong confirmed.

"That's right." Liu Xiangnan nodded in affirmation. "Furthermore, he has already paid a two hundred million deposit in advance."

"Then what are you waiting for! Quickly gather the workers, contact the head office to prepare the materials, and they must be of the highest specifications!" Zhang Dong ordered.

Facing a customer who spent money like water, they dared not be careless in the slightest.

They must maintain a good relationship with him; even if they couldn't become friends, they absolutely must not become enemies, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

Zhang Dong didn't want to take this risk.

Even if they earned a little less, they had to satisfy Chen Ming!

...

After the vehicle and house security issues were resolved.

Chen Ming chose to go to the largest cold storage in Jiang City.

He bought two hundred thousand tons of chicken, duck, pork, beef, and lamb with dates within the last six months, as well as ten thousand tons of fish, crabs, shrimp, and other seafood, and even frozen foods like buns and dumplings.

The main focus was on frantic stockpiling.

After paying, they would also deliver it to his door.

Putting hundreds of thousands of tons of frozen meat directly into the storage space in the warehouse, Chen Ming couldn't help but expose himself.

After doing all this, Chen Ming returned to Fushan Residence feeling satisfied.

As soon as he arrived, the car sales center delivered the cars.

After parking, they handed the keys to Chen Ming and then drove down the mountain in another car.

Before leaving, they didn't forget to tell Chen Ming that regarding the fuel, the manager was still trying hard to get a suitable price and would resolve it and deliver it before 8 PM.

After confirming that the group had disappeared, Chen Ming put the cars into his storage space one after another.

It was easily completed in less than a minute.

As for Xuanwu Security, they obtained the design blueprints for the entire villa and the lone mountain from the builder, contacted many experts, and urgently held a discussion meeting.

They wanted to decide on the modification plan as soon as possible and submit it to Chen Ming for confirmation.

Chen Ming, meanwhile, leisurely returned inside the villa and lay down on the living room sofa.

He took out a bunch of grapes from his storage space.

Holding it in one hand, he bit into it with his mouth.

With his other hand, after turning on the TV, he picked up his phone and, for the first time in a while, opened Ten Thousand Realms Fishing.

While the game was loading, Chen Ming glanced towards the TV.

The host had a serious expression. "Currently, it is known that a total of 26 media journalists from 13 countries who went to interview at Walton Prison No. 13 have all been detained without cause by the Eagle Faction, their fate unknown. The embassies are actively contacting the Eagle Faction government..."

"Directly detaining journalists without even giving a reason?"

Apart from those journalists knowing something they shouldn't have, Chen Ming really couldn't think of any other reason that would make the Eagle Faction so arrogant and overbearing, forcibly ignoring protests from various countries.

"Something big has indeed happened at that Prison No. 13!"

Chen Ming switched to his browser, accessed the external network, and searched for information about Prison No. 13.

As expected, it showed: [Search results do not exist, please change your keywords!]

As the Eagle Faction's largest prison, the fact that no information could be found about it at all was very strange in itself.

Chen Ming concluded that the Eagle Faction was afraid of exposing the truth and chose to block all information about Prison No. 13.

"What exactly happened inside the prison?" Chen Ming was completely puzzled.

Far across the ocean, he could only wait for someone from the country or the Eagle Faction to transmit the information.

Or... it was completely out of control and impossible to conceal!

"Forget it, let's focus on fishing first and get more skills."

Switching back to Ten Thousand Realms Fishing, the loading circle spun a few times quickly, completing the load.
