Meng Ran rested for a night, and the next day he was still happily riding his bicycle to school, just like always during the week.
Meng Ran pedaled his bike, and Venom was singing in his body.
"I want a life that bursts with passion~"
"Like soaring in the vast sky~"
"Like traversing the empty wilderness, possessing power beyond the ordinary~ Awoo~!"
Venom was trying to unleash his life with his raspy voice.
Of course, this song was also taught to him by Meng Ran. Meng Ran was really fed up with him yelling and screaming; it was simply too awful to listen to.
So Meng Ran had played him a few songs.
You know, Venom's raspy voice actually suits this song pretty well, it's just that he can't quite hit the high notes.
Soon they arrived at the school. Meng Ran parked his car and entered the classroom with his backpack.
Looking at Gwen, who was holding a book and yawning, Meng Ran knew she hadn't gotten enough sleep.
Meng Ran took a bottle of refreshing water out of his bag, twisted it open, and handed it to Gwen.
"Drink some water, this is more refreshing."
Gwen, hearing this, took the water with a bit of a daze and took a big gulp.
"Phew~" Gwen perked up after taking a big gulp, and exhaled comfortably.
"Meng, thank you so much, otherwise I'd definitely fall asleep in class." Gwen, now refreshed, smiled at Meng Ran.
Meng Ran sighed and said, "Gwen, you can't keep doing this. No matter how good your body is, you won't be able to handle it."
Gwen, looking at Meng Ran who was lecturing her again, cutely shrunk her neck and said, "Aiya~ I know~ I just couldn't sleep well last night."
Meng Ran responded, "You said the same thing yesterday."
"Or, how about you don't go out every day? I'm here every day, and the crime rate has already dropped a lot recently."
Gwen shook her head when she heard this, "No, no, no. Ghost has to fight alongside the evil spirits."
"I'll pay attention to resting earlier every day. It'll be fine once I get used to it."
Gwen looked at Meng Ran again and said, "Look at you, you're so energetic every day."
Meng Ran shook his head when he heard this, "It's different. I have a special cultivation technique, so I can get by with less rest."
After speaking, Meng Ran sighed again, "It's a pity there's no way for you to learn it, otherwise, you wouldn't have to work so hard."
Gwen, hearing this, covered her mouth in surprise. So Meng Ran actually knew those ancient Huaguo cultivation methods; they were real, just like in the novels.
Seeing Meng Ran sigh, Gwen comforted him, "It's okay. I'll definitely find a way to let myself rest enough."
"I am the famous Ghost!" Gwen raised her little fist and said valiantly.
Meng Ran couldn't help but laugh at the adorable Gwen.
As more people came to class, the two of them switched to discussing everyday matters. Time passed quickly, and Thanksgiving was just around the corner. After Thanksgiving, it would be less than a month until the winter break, and the two were also chatting about their holiday plans.
While Meng Ran was in class, the computer in his bedroom was working non-stop. Before leaving, Meng Ran had asked Little White to search for information about Blackwater Security Company and their connection to the Crocodile Gang.
When Meng Ran returned from class, he could directly see the information Little White had already compiled.
Soon it was time to go home after school, and Meng Ran said goodbye to his friends and rode his bicycle home.
Zhao Li came home early today, and dinner was also early.
After Meng Ran finished dinner, he returned to his bedroom and began to look at the information Little White had found.
First was the Blackwater Security Company. This company ostensibly provided some legitimate security services, but behind the scenes, it provided irregular security and mercenary services.
According to the data, the personnel of this company were also graded. Currently, the traces that could be found were ordinary mercenary tasks and a small number of C-Rank mercenary tasks.
As for higher levels, they had special confidentiality measures that Little White couldn't access for the time being.
According to Little White's analysis, the two mutated assassins who appeared last time should belong to C-Rank, although no clues could be found online.
However, according to the little bit of information Meng Ran got from their brains last time, these two people came to ambush Meng Ran because of a mercenary task from the Crocodile Gang.
But unfortunately, Blackwater Security Company's assessment was off. They thought Meng Ran was just a stronger, well-trained ordinary person.
The video Meng Ran sent to the Crocodile Gang had also been processed. Not only did it prevent the terrified Crocodile Gang members from seeing anything about Meng Ran's abilities, but it also self-destructed after playback.
Therefore, the Crocodile Gang didn't provide Blackwater Security Company with any useful information.
Blackwater Security Company obtained their information from news and cases related to the "ghosts," which also skewed their assessment. They believed that two C-Rank agents would be a sure thing.
The result was that both C-Rank agents disappeared, and the chips implanted in their brains self-destructed. Blackwater Security Company had suffered a major setback.
After reading Blackwater Security Company's information, the next section detailed their contact with the Crocodile Gang.
There was also an interesting point here. When Meng Ran was looking up information on the Crocodile Gang, he had seen that the boss of the big gang who had been over Bob's head had suddenly disappeared.
Meng Ran had estimated that things weren't that simple, likely Bob had arranged for him to be eliminated.
Now, the results were indeed as Little White's collected data showed. Bob had paid Blackwater Security Company to directly eliminate the previous boss.
Furthermore, Blackwater Security Company had a hand in the infighting among the heads of the previous boss's subordinates. Bob had hired them to stir up chaos.
Afterward, the Crocodile Gang took advantage of the situation and hired Blackwater Security Company again when they absorbed the other gangs.
Therefore, Bob and Blackwater Security Company had quite a bit of business dealings between them.
It was only in recent years, when the Crocodile Gang enjoyed the position of boss without anyone threatening them, that their business with Blackwater Security Company had ceased for a few years.
But the recent appearance of the Ghost made Bob think of his old friends again.
Meng Ran finished reading the information and leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes to think.
Indeed, it was time to clean up the Crocodile Gang again, but for the sake of stability, Meng Ran couldn't just kill them all.
Now there was also the Blackwater Security Company, which hadn't revealed much information yet.
Meng Ran had killed their people; they definitely knew, and they would undoubtedly keep sending people.
It was impossible that Meng Ran killed those two, and then Blackwater Security Company just backed down and didn't come. That was absolutely impossible.
This already concerned Blackwater's credibility. Of course, they would definitely ask Bob to increase the price. After all, if a C-Rank couldn't solve the problem, it would be a different price.
Meng Ran pondered, feeling a bit of a headache.
Maybe he could pick a puppet from the Crocodile Gang, and then, after Meng Ran took out Bob, use the puppet to stabilize the situation, giving George enough time to wrap things up.
Then, after the cleanup, he could also kill the puppet, which would perfectly eliminate the Crocodile Gang without causing any unrest.
Of course, the puppet couldn't be chosen randomly. First, the puppet needed to have some influence, to be able to control the overall situation after Bob died.
Secondly, he needed enough people under him to suppress the other bosses' restlessness. If that wasn't easily achievable, Meng Ran could always start by taking out a few bosses to ease the pressure.
The more Meng Ran thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed. There was just one crucial thing missing.
That was a method to control the puppet.
Meng Ran decided to go straight to the shop. If there was a useful item, the problem would be solved directly.
If it could be solved with an item, there was no need to bother with those superficial methods of persuasion, threats, or attempts to win them over.
Because those things were ultimately hollow and difficult to control.
For Meng Ran, it was best to minimize the risk and maximize control.
Meng Ran looked through the special items in the shop and, after searching for a while, finally found a suitable one.
Meng Ran directly chose to exchange.
Looking at the small insect in the box, along with a bottle of pills and a bone flute, Meng Ran smiled.
"Conditions met, the plan begins!"
