The stench of blood on his face, the stench of blood in the air, and the rotting corpse on the floor made William nauseous.

When he heard the gunshots go off, Shi Yu came in, looked at the employer on the floor, raised his arm, and patted William on the shoulder. “You’re brilliant. You did a good job. Here’s my phone.” Then he put a business card in William’s hand.

William wiped the blood off his face and looked at the business card in his hand. There was only a name and a phone number, but he knew that the man in front of him had changed his life tonight.

He had turned an unknown lawyer into a wealthy elite overnight.

Shi Yu walked to the door and turned his back to William. “That’s all for today. You’re a smart man. Take care of everything here. I’ll contact you again when I have time.”

William listened to Shi Yu’s words and nodded with a bitter smile. When he turned his head to look at the door, there was no one there. It was only then that William collapsed to the ground as if his strength had been drained. With whatever little remaining strength he had left, he took out his phone and made a call.

Then, he threw the phone on the floor and looked at everything in front of him. William took out the property transfer agreement that he had signed, and his eyes slowly lit up.

He then turned around and left.

The next day, it was on the news that the employer’s villa fire had caused a gas leak and explosion in the house. The whole place was not spared, but this was only an answer for the public.

In those upper-class societies, the appearance of such news meant that someone had stepped on the employer’s head and squeezed into their strata.

At this moment, in a basement.

Sitting in front of the television with a glass of wine, Shi Yu watched the grief-stricken lawyer delivering his speech. He could not help but sigh at William’s flawless acting skills.

William’s signature on the property transfer shocked many of the news media.

Although William said that it was left to him by the employer before he died, the media had a rough idea of what was going on.

Shi Yu, the mastermind behind the scenes, smiled at that moment.

After William held the press conference, Shi Yu called William and gave him his home address.

When William arrived, he was just about to knock on the door when he realized that the door was not closed. After opening the door and entering, William closed the door and stood at the door, calling weakly, “Mr. Shi Yu?”

“Come in, William.”

After entering, he saw Shi Yu lying on the couch, holding a glass of wine in his hand.

William hurriedly walked up to Shi Yu and bowed to him.

Gesturing for William to sit down, Shi Yu asked, “How many assets does William have now?”.

William was stunned. “These are not my assets. These are all yours. Right now, you have a drone research and development company, two clothing trading companies, and three catering companies. The liquidated capital is about 170 million.

“If you want to, you can convert all of these into about 400 to 500 million. I haven’t calculated the exact value yet. If you need it, I’ll go and calculate it immediately.”

Listening to William’s answer, Shi Yu nodded in satisfaction. He got up and said to William, “You did well. Work hard.”

William listened to his boss’ praise and looked at the wine glass and an envelope on the table in front of him. He picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a full glass. Shi Yu smiled and clinked glasses with William.

William gulped the entire glass of wine in one go, choking himself in the process until his face turned beet red. Shi Yu took a small sip and patted William’s shoulder.

He said he wanted to find a different house and a quieter place. Then, he needed a basement similar to the one he had now. He needed a special soundproof room to facilitate his gun practice.

At Shi Yu’s words, William immediately stood up and told his new boss that he would do it right away.

In fact, the previous deceased employer owned some arms business. Once he heard that Shi Yu needed a special soundproof room to practice shooting, William wanted to give him the latest products.

Shi Yu said to William, “I need some special poker cards. It’s best if they look like poker cards. They can be bent or rubbed off, but don’t want them to be less lethal.”

Hearing Shi Yu’s words, William frowned. He had never heard of the boss requesting something like that, but when he thought about the first mission given to him, he knew that things would turn ugly if he didn’t do it well.

William then promised that he would give it his best shot.

It was not until William walked out of the basement that Shi Yu picked up the envelope. It was apparent that the envelope had been opened. He picked up the photos and cards in the envelope.

The card said that the bounty on William, who was recently reported in the news, was as high as 20 million yuan. One had to know that he had only killed Will of the drone company for 5 million yuan.

However, Shi Yu still did not tell William that he would be assassinated. He also wanted to see what ability William, who had just become a golden mountain, had.

William walked out of the basement, went back to the car, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He had just become the successor of his former boss. Now, there had to be many waiting to destroy him in one fell swoop. Now, what he had to guard against was not only a business crisis but a crisis of a secret assassin who was going to terminate him.

After driving away from Shi Yu’s house, William would go home and see his wife coming to greet him. He put work matters behind him and smiled at his wife.

Seeing the girl running toward him, William gradually became happy. At the dinner table, William said to his wife, “Let’s move to a larger house in a few days. You’ve suffered a lot after following me for so many years.”

As he said that, he held his wife’s hand.

Seeing her husband being so considerate, her eyes turned red, and she nodded.

At night, in bed, looking at the troubled William, his wife turned over and hugged him. “Something bothering you today? When I came back, I saw you frowning all the time. It was the same at dinner.”

William looked at his sensible wife in his arms and sighed.

“Although I have relied on the wealth of my former boss to squeeze myself into the upper class, will they let me off so easily? Since I’m in the upper class, their interests will have to be shared with me. We’re in a perilous situation now.”

“Although I’m wealthy now, you understand that all of my efforts and assets were given to me by that man.”

“He took those assets without any obvious reason and wanted to let a scapegoat come up. He sat behind the scenes, so even if something happened, I would be the first to be in trouble.”

“So we have to move to another place. We’ll change tomorrow. I’ve already contacted him.”

Hearing her husband’s words, the wife could only nod obediently. Now that her husband was walking on a tightrope, whichever side he leaned would eventually lead to a fatal disaster..
