Chapter 1, The Strange Guest

With a beaming smile, Xiao Wenbing cautiously asked, "So, is there a more specific address?"

"Mr. Xiao, where are you going?" Mr. Lu asked abruptly

One item is a sealed safe, with a seal affixed to it

Ha... what? Ah... yes, yes.

Like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, Xiao Wenbing couldn't help but shiver

Moreover, it is currently summer, and people are wearing relatively fewer clothes. If one were to hide this safe on their person, it would certainly be quite conspicuous

Xiao Wenbing was responding with words, yet a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Could it be that he encountered a charlatan today? Or perhaps one with peculiar preferences.

Xiao Wenbing felt a deep curiosity about Lu Jun's profession. Could it be that he is actually a magician, the kind who excels at performing the art of making people come to life on stage

Unfortunately, I am currently unable to take care of myself; otherwise..." Lu Jun said with considerable regret

This item is to be delivered to Xiaoputuo, but to whom exactly? It cannot simply be thrown on the ground upon arrival there

Xiaoputuo is a place he has visited once. In his impression, there are only water and mountains, as well as a cave and a few temples.

Xiao Wenbing's facial muscles had become somewhat stiff. Due to the nature of his profession, he had encountered a variety of clients, many of whom had peculiar preferences. However, someone like Lu Jun, who had become so obsessed to this extent, was truly one of a kind

Xiao Wenbing, the boss is calling you. The boss's secretary, Zhang Yaqi, pushed open the door and called softly.

Lu Jun suddenly felt a sense of awareness; he looked up, gazing into the distance, and murmured, "Have they arrived? So fast..."

He had long since thrown a punch ... No, he is a civilized person, so he would not resort to violence. At most, he would just brush his sleeves and leave.

Uh... suddenly, he was rudely interrupted by him. Xiao Wenbing chuckled self-deprecatingly a couple of times, silently reminding himself that he is the customer, and the customer is God, so do not offend.

If there were a mirror in front of him, Xiao Wenbing would certainly see himself with his mouth wide open in a very ungraceful manner

You are, after all, not a member of the Daoist sect, so it is only natural that you do not understand its mysteries. However, Lu Jun looked at him with a hint of envy in his eyes: "However, if you are willing to join my sect, your future achievements will undoubtedly be extraordinary"

"Sure. " A smile spread across Xiao Wenbing's face: "Our fourteenth floor is a revolving restaurant, where you can enjoy a meal while taking in the city views, achieving two goals at once. Mr. Lu, would you like to give it a try?"

Mr. Lu, are you here to ship something

Perhaps sensing Xiao Wenbing's thoughts, Lu Jun extended his hand and pointed into the distance.

Mr. Lu nodded to him and led Xiao Wenbing out of the office

Mr. Lu stood up, his gaze lingering on Xiao Wenbing for a moment, his eyes seemingly flickering with a look of uncertain surprise. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Manager Cheng, I would like to invite Mr. Xiao to a meal and inquire about a few matters, is that acceptable?"

Xiao Wenbing let out a sigh of relief; if he continued to be stared at by that gaze, he would surely suffer from a heart attack

Although he never took this job very seriously, Boss Cheng is indeed a good person; if it were not for unavoidable circumstances, he truly would not want to leave

My name is Lu Jun

Xiao Wenbing looked at these two objects with astonishment, stealing a glance at Lu Jun.

Lu Jun's expression changed suddenly, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes

This is a handsome man, exuding a strong and vigorous masculinity. However, what truly makes Xiao Wenbing's heart race is the subtle yet palpable aura of danger that emanates from him

Is this a threat? A surge of anger welled up in Xiao Wenbing's heart

This is the item I want to consign

Do not use the *illustrated* book to alarm me with dire warnings, be cautious

Are you looking to check in valuable items? If so, I recommend you ... ...

What are you asking this for

Unconsciously, Xiao Wenbing nodded his head

There is something you do not need to know; this matter is something your company cannot afford under any circumstances. I hope you can transport it as soon as possible

Where did this thing come from

Fortunately, this feeling comes quickly and departs just as swiftly. However, in just a moment of counting breaths, it has already vanished without a trace

The Venus Building is an ordinary office building in the city, with a modest height of only fourteen stories

What? Xiao Wenbing was taken aback, almost exclaiming. Eating and such was clearly your suggestion, so why does it look like this as soon as it comes up?

Another person, Xiao Wenbing, stole a glance, and his heart involuntarily skipped a beat twice.

They effortlessly found a small private room

Xiao Wenbing shuddered violently; that heart-wrenching, deeply ingrained feeling was already too much to bear. To live forever in such pain would indeed be a cruel punishment, one that leaves one unable to seek life or death.

Haoyun Express Company rented a room on the second floor here three years ago and has since used it as a base to gradually develop into the leading express company in the city and even the entire province

Excuse me, I would like to ask what is stored in this safe

Although the volume of that safe is not large, it is certainly not something that can fit in a pocket

Xiao Wenbing's smile has become increasingly bright, hasn't it? Otherwise, this thing would be impossible to deliver

He opened his mouth wide, but apart from the heavy, wheezing breaths that sounded like a broken bellows, he could not produce any other sound

If these two items had not been placed right in front of him, he would have truly thought that he had merely experienced a nightmare.

Xiao Wenbing's face could no longer maintain the stable smile of hetushucomcom; in his perception, it felt as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake, ready to strike at any moment and take his life

He pointed at those two items and said, "You take them to Xiaoputuo."

However, this person does not seem to fit the description at all, and given that the boss is such a shrewd individual, the fact that he would not dare to be rude to him indicates that he is certainly not ordinary

The two of them came up together. Xiao Wenbing could be certain that when Lu Jun came up, he was definitely not carrying anything in his hands

Fortunately, it is not the peak dining hour, and there are only a few scattered tables occupied here.

The smile on his face instantly froze

"Industry regulations, industry regulations." Xiao Wenbing quickly explained: "This is the rule of our profession; it is essential to know what the items entrusted by the guests are. If there is a loss... no, if there is a loss caused by irresistible reasons, we can negotiate a compensation plan and standards.

Ah... Lu Jun sighed in surprise and said, "I actually forgot to mention it."

The boss is deceiving people again. What does it mean by an irresistible reason

Yes

Although he did not know why such a feeling suddenly arose, Xiao Wenbing could clearly sense that he subconsciously leaned closer to his boss.

Lu Jun's expression grew increasingly cold

Xiao Wenbing nodded repeatedly, observing Lu Jun's face; however, after a long while, he still could not discern any intention on his part to speak.

However, what Lu Jun said next left him even more astonished and uncertain

Lu Jun placed two items on the table

Yes, that is the place

In summary, remember this: if the items arrive, there will definitely be tremendous benefits beyond your expectations. However, if there are any losses, then I will make it so that you cannot live nor die.

Lu Jun stood up, gazing at Xiao Wenbing's face, which was filled with terror. However, suddenly, a smile that was almost enchanting appeared on his face: "Don't be surprised, this is just a little trick. Would you like to learn it?"

I have already marked you. If you cannot safely deliver the items to Xiaoputuo within a month, then... you shall forever live in the pain you just experienced

Upon arrival, you will burn this talisman, and naturally, someone will come to guide you

Upon arriving upstairs, Xiao Wenbing initially intended to choose a seat by the window, but was outright rejected by Lu Jun.

Xiao Wenbing felt a chill in his heart. What kind of gaze is this? ... Could it be that he has encountered that kind of ...

It felt as if countless tiny needles were incessantly piercing his body, a sensation so unbearable that he would rather die immediately than continue to endure this extreme pain that was worse than death

Sitting inside are two individuals, and behind that boss's desk is the remarkable entrepreneur Cheng Yifei, who founded the company and has led it to prosperous development.

To be honest, he did not want to be with this person, as he always felt a sense of danger around him, but he could not disregard his boss's orders

Without any warning, a sudden, excruciating pain struck Xiao Wenbing's entire body. He collapsed onto his seat, curling up, his face instantly drained of color, as if his internal organs were being twisted together like a tangle of dough.

"Xiao Putuo? The Xiao Putuo at Dong Qian Lake?" Xiao Wenbing asked in surprise

However, that place is not particularly large, but it is also not necessarily small

Lu Jun's voice softened, carrying an alluring power: "If you can deliver the items, I can teach you. Within ten years, I guarantee you will be able to master it as well. Remember, one month, I... will wait for you."

Xiao Wenbing's eyelids slightly flipped upwards

The other item is a piece of dark yellow paper

Arrived

I am not familiar with this place, so I do not know where the good restaurants are. If Mr. Guo Xiao from hetushucomcom knows, please guide me.

Xiao Wenbing was momentarily dazzled, and Lu Jun unexpectedly vanished into thin air, disappearing from his line of sight

Sigh, that is indeed a pity. Xiao Wenbing thought to himself, what do you mean by being too preoccupied to care? What does that have to do with me? However, it is fortunate that you are too preoccupied, otherwise, if you were to make any excessive demands, I would have no choice but to pack up and leave.

Sensing the astonished and uncertain gaze of Xiao Wenbing, Lu Jun smiled faintly, without offering any explanation

Mr. Lu, his name is Xiao Wenbing, and he is the most reliable employee in our company. If you wish to transport something, you can just contact him. I can assure you that, unless there are some irresistible reasons causing unforeseen circumstances, we will certainly fulfill your request satisfactorily

Xiao Wenbing's face showed difficulty, yet he did not dare to evade the issue

If the other party is not a client specifically instructed by the boss not to offend, and if this man does not give me a very dangerous and hard-to-approach feeling

In fact, even if he were given a measure of courage, he would not dare to offend the man before him, who instilled in him a profound sense of danger

Apart from that, I can no longer remember anything else

The threshold for his business has truly become increasingly refined. No wonder that in recent years, he has been experiencing a continuous influx of wealth and steady progress in his endeavors

Of course, please feel free. Cheng Yifei stood up with a beaming smile and turned to Xiao Wenbing, saying: "Wenbing, take good care of Mr. Lu; the bill will be on me"

Xiao Wenbing responded and quickly walked into the general manager's office

Xiao Wenbing looked at Lu Jun with lingering fear, his gaze resembling that of someone staring at a devil

Your qualifications are excellent, and you possess a spiritual root

A chill penetrated directly from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head. Xiao Wenbing's gaze hesitated as it swept around the private room, ultimately resting on the safe and the yellowish paper.

In fact, whenever an unexpected event occurs, the vast majority can be brushed aside with this one statement
