Chapter 1: The Greed of Human Nature

With a light sigh, Chen Moran took out a hundred yuan banknote from his wallet. The intaglio-printed portrait was vivid and lifelike, with a strong sense of relief. The intricate patterns were clear and clean. Shaking the banknote vigorously, flicking it with his fingers, or gently pulling it symmetrically with both hands, one could hear a crisp and resonant sound. When held up to the light, the watermark with a certain three-dimensional quality was clearly visible.

Chen Moran, feeling somewhat dizzy and disoriented, endured the excruciating pain in his calves as he got out of the car and sat on a stone beside it, murmuring to himself. It was true that the car had been in an accident, but it had not occurred on the highway; rather, it was at the edge of a remote mountain cliff. The front of the car had collided directly with the mountainside, and the two drivers, having not fastened their seatbelts, were thrown out of the cabin, their brains splattered and scattered several meters away.

Bang!

Chen Moran shook his head and gently pushed the gun that was pressed against his forehead aside with his finger

Suddenly, Chen Moran felt a strange illusion that the fireball was flying towards his car, and at that moment, the distance seemed to be less than 100 meters

Uncle... what... what is that...

Chen Moran, lying on the rear sleeper seat, had not yet reacted when he heard two sharp screams. Before he could process what was happening, the vehicle collided with something, and he felt his body lurch violently forward. His upper body and legs slammed against the seat, and a sudden, intense pain surged through his calves.

Looking at Chen Moran, the man seemed to be convincing himself to pull the trigger with these words

As long as sufficient effort and resources are invested, what appears to be an unreplicable banknote can, in fact, be easily duplicated. Others may choose the simplest methods, but Chen Moran, immersed in the process, strives to achieve the best. It took him three years and cost him several million yuan for this banknote, yet the returns were substantial. Within just one week, he had already printed over ten million yuan, nearly achieving a perfect banknote.

After the truck entered the highway, the driver glanced at the "shipper" sleeping in the bunk. It had been almost an hour since he got on the truck, yet all he had said was, "Let's go!" It seemed as if everyone owed him millions. Seeing the shipper in this state, the two drivers in the truck dared not speak loudly, fearing that a careless word might provoke the shipper and lead to a complaint to the company.

You follow the car! I will take the printing plate down another route! Recently, the situation has become tense, so be careful! If those two... you know what to do!

The characteristics of the banknotes in everyone's wallet are almost all designed to prevent counterfeiting and forgery. Features such as intaglio printing, watermarks, embedded metallic threads, holograms, color-shifting inks, and fluorescent inks visible only under ultraviolet light make counterfeiting more difficult; however, nothing is completely counterfeit-proof

No matter how one looks at it, at least on the surface, this banknote is genuine and does not differ much from the hundred-yuan notes held by everyone.

Holding in his hand the banknotes that could send him to the guillotine, Chen Moran murmured to himself. The fear that once gripped him may have dissipated after he took that step three years ago, but over the past week, as he watched the intaglio printing machine whirring away and gazed at the large sheet of banknotes made up of 54 hundred-yuan notes, fear once again spread within him. The reason he was not afraid in the past was that it was an experiment; the banknotes had never appeared on the market... and now... as he watched the intaglio printing machine whirring away and gazed at the large sheet of banknotes made up of 54 hundred-yuan notes, fear once again spread within him.

Despite saying so, Chen Moran still took the gun. While one may not have the heart to kill, it is essential to have self-defense and security. As soon as he went downstairs, Chen Moran jumped into the Hualing Xingkaima truck below, which was 18 meters long and loaded with two containers

Don't think that I really dare to kill you

The horrific accident scene did not instill much panic in Chen Moran, but the surrounding environment did evoke a sense of fear. Chen Moran clearly remembered that the car had been traveling at high speed; how could it possibly crash into a mountain in the blink of an eye? Moreover, there had been no mountains within a hundred kilometers in the vicinity. The mountain before him seemed to have appeared as if by magic.

Chen Moran felt relieved that the rolling barrel was not in the vehicle, otherwise this car accident would have sent him straight to prison. ... Just as he was silently expressing his gratitude, Chen Moran unexpectedly discovered that there seemed to be something attached to his lower back, a gun ... . ... There was an even more dangerous item on him.

Money

As he turned to leave, he seemed to remember something and took a pistol from his waist, placing it into Chen Moran's hand

The man with a sinister complexion had not finished speaking when he pressed the gun against Chen Moran's forehead

Chen Moran smiled faintly, as if the person who had previously stepped into the gates of hell was not himself

The driver, while driving, glanced outside the car and muttered curses under his breath. It has been nearly six months since it last rained in the entire Southwest. Not to mention the fields, even the cracks in the reservoirs and riverbeds are wide enough to fit a child's small arms and legs. This sudden thunder, however, brought a hint of a smile to the face of the driver, who was over forty.

The distance is closing in, and the fireball seems to be growing larger, with a diameter of several dozen meters.

Do not forget that I now have several tens of millions! Back then, I only spent a few million!

Chen Moran, sitting on a stone, surveyed his surroundings. The mountain in front of him, stripped bare, clearly bore the marks left by quarrying. Not far away, there were several collapsed stone houses in an open area, and from one of the stone houses in the middle, a wisp of smoke was rising as an old man approached, walking with a tremor in his steps.

Following the direction pointed out by the young man, Chen Moran took a glance and was immediately startled. In the sky, there was a large fireball emitting a strong bluish-green light, which appeared extremely dazzling. Surrounding the fireball were tongues of bluish-green flames, and the fireball, diving towards the ground, seemed to be expanding.

Greed, if it were not for greed causing trouble, would I be engaged in this line of work? Clearly not. Why would I take the risk to find this person, if not for greed? I am greedy for someone who is even greedier than myself; as long as he is greedy, he will not kill me.

At least until you have earned enough money, you will not!

Do not think that I truly dare not kill you

The man with a cold expression still showed little emotion in his tone. Upon closer inspection of Chen Moran, this man was no different from when he had come to find him three years ago. The only difference was that three years ago, his eyes were filled with despair, whereas now they were as calm as death.

Let's go

Lying on the lower bunk of the truck, Chen Moran instructed the driver. The truck was rented from a logistics company. On China's highways, one can often see semi-trailers measuring 15 meters, 18 meters, or even longer; these semi-trucks are the backbone of modern logistics transportation in China. Generally, not many people pay attention to these semi-trailers.

The young person in the passenger seat pointed at the sky, murmuring to themselves, completely devoid of the earlier joy, instead revealing a look of sheer terror.

Chen Moran coldly lifted his eyelids and glanced at his "partner" at https://www.hetushu.com, or perhaps it would be more accurate to call him the boss

However, just a week later, the factory needs to be relocated. No one can guarantee that one day, while printing money, a group of police officers won't burst into the factory, and then... If that happens, it is very likely that I would appear on television news or in legal programs, which is certainly not what Chen Moran wishes to see. Although I longed to appear on television shows in my youth, it was not in that manner. The safest course of action is to relocate immediately, before danger arrives.

Stop once you earn 20 million

Bang

A machine can operate with just any random person. But kill me! Who provided you with the template! Who supplied you with the ink!

However, looking at this 05 version of the hundred yuan note that starts with MR, Chen Moran knew that this banknote was counterfeit. The reason he knew was that he had printed this banknote himself; it could easily deceive the bank's currency verification machine without any issues.

I have already said that I will not kill anyone

What is going on

Accompanied by the heavy sound of a door slamming, a man braved the wind and snow as he left the dilapidated apartment building. Just before departing, he glanced back at the lit window on the third floor, and then left without looking back.

The man with a sinister expression, upon hearing Chen Moran's words, felt his lips twitch uncontrollably, and the hand holding the gun trembled imperceptibly. In a matter of seconds, countless thoughts flashed through his mind: Kill him! ... Kill him ... . ... Despite repeatedly telling himself this in his heart.

Whether it is vulgarity or depravity, the pursuit of money is almost the only motivation for modern people to live. It is also my sole pursuit at present

Hurry! Step on the gas, quickly ... www.hetushu.com.com

Rumble ... ...

The strong smell of blood permeated the cabin, and a somewhat dazed Chen Moran realized that there might have been a car accident

It should rain soon; damn it, the old heavens haven't rained for months!

A deafening clap of thunder interrupted Chen Moran's thoughts. Hearing the thunder, Chen Moran glanced outside the car, only to see the sky filled with dark clouds, seemingly a precursor to a heavy rain.

As he gently applied pressure with his index finger on the trigger, his left hand, resting in the pocket of his coat, felt a piece of paper with its uneven printed texture and firm touch. Finally, he lowered the gun, looking at Chen Moran, who showed not a trace of fear. It seemed somewhat unworthy to kill him. In Chen Moran's eyes, there was not a hint of terror; such a threat held no significance for him.

Startled, Chen Moran shouted loudly, but before he could finish his words, he saw a fireball explode less than twenty meters from the front of the vehicle. Everything before him turned white, and a sharp pain shot through his eyes. He quickly raised his hand to shield himself and instinctively crouched down on the bunk. With a thunderous roar, the moment the sound of the explosion reached his eardrums, the previously stable cabin jolted violently, as if the vehicle had suddenly veered off the road and into a field.

Just know it!

With his eyes closed, Chen Moran once again conjured up this word. Money has almost been the sole pursuit of his 30 years of life. In this society, recognition of a person is based on wealth; money is the fundamental measure of a person's success. In order to obtain those colorful banknotes, men may sacrifice their dignity and pride, while women may offer their bodies. In short, people are willing to give everything.

People are inherently greedy! What you desire is far more than just tens of millions! You want more!

Fortunately, he took the drum away; otherwise...
