"Yue Wang Goujian? The Goujian who endured hardship by sleeping on brushwood?" Liu Lin asked, noticing the strange expressions on the faces of the three brothers.

"Linlin, it's not that Goujian. This man's surname is Yue and his given name is Wang, but he possesses none of the forbearance or magnanimity of that Brother Goujian. He is lustful, depraved, and utterly vile, which is why we call him 'Gou Jian' (Meaning: Barely Worthy/Shameless), not the Goujian you speak of," Mei Peng explained immediately.

"Then what is his relationship to you? Why do you call him the Fourth Brother? I don't recall you ever mentioning him before," Liu Lin inquired curiously.

"That... is because of reasons that are difficult to articulate, so we haven't mentioned this person to you. However, you will understand why once you meet him," Mei Peng said vaguely.

"His name is so strange. Is there really a surname Yue in this world?" Liu Lin asked like a curious child.

"Well, there probably are people surnamed Yue in the world. The story goes that his father was surnamed Yue, and his mother was surnamed Wang, so he became Yue Wang," Mei Peng clarified.

Liu Hui gave Mei Peng and Zhou Tengyun a wry look and said to Hu Xian'er, "Tell the security guard at the door to bring that person in."

Hu Xian'er agreed and walked out. Liu Hui shook his head, "I never expected to run into the Fourth Brother here again. I thought I'd never see him again. I just wonder what he's turned into by now?"

"What change could there be? He's surely the same as before, a complete playboy," Mei Peng scoffed.

"Indeed, I don't believe he has changed either," Zhou Tengyun, sitting nearby, added.

In a short while, Hu Xian'er walked back in, followed by a tall, handsome young man. As soon as the handsome man saw the three brothers, he burst out laughing, "Brothers, your boss has arrived!"

The three brothers ignored him. Seeing that no one spoke, the handsome man grew slightly awkward. He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Liu Lao Er, your secretary is quite something. Look at her figure—it’s the golden ratio, absolutely exquisite. I wonder what it would feel like to touch her by hand."

As the handsome man named Yue Wang spoke, he unconsciously extended his hand, preparing to place it on Hu Xian'er's hip. Hu Xian'er, never having encountered such a brazen pervert, immediately flushed crimson and swiftly dodged behind Liu Hui. The handsome man, however, grinned and advanced towards Hu Xian'er, his hand still reaching out.

Liu Hui was furious and about to intervene when Yue Wang suddenly stepped on a stapler that had appeared out of nowhere, instantly losing his balance and tumbling to the ground. When he scrambled up, utterly disheveled, his appearance had drastically changed. His suit was crumpled, and a large bump formed on his face; he looked like a beggar. This instantaneous transformation caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Yue Wang managed an embarrassed, forced smile and sheepishly found a place to sit. After sitting, Yue Wang's eyes swept across the room and suddenly landed on Liu Lin. His eyes lit up, and his backside instinctively began to shift in her direction.

"Yue Lao Si, how are you still so lewd and shameless?" Mei Peng stood up calmly and sat beside Liu Lin, perfectly blocking Yue Wang's path toward her.

Seeing his intention discovered, Yue Wang stopped and chuckled dryly, "Well, as the saying goes, a leopard can't change its spots. It's beyond my control. Because I often can't restrain myself, I must continue to follow my nature. Whenever I see a beautiful woman, I involuntarily gravitate toward them. I can't help but want to know them, to engage with them."

"Yue Lao Si, after so many years, we thought we'd never see you again. Have you been well?" Liu Hui diverted the topic.

"Let me correct you again: I am your boss. All of your rankings must move down one position," Yue Wang protested loudly.

"Heh heh, we settled that when we swore our brotherhood oath. Your ambition was the smallest, so naturally, you became the Fourth Brother. Lao Er and Lao San can both vouch for this; don't try to deny it," Liu Hui chuckled.

"Nonsense! My ambition was clearly the loftiest and grandest; I should be the boss. You all insisted my ambition was smallest, forcibly demoting me from the top position. You simply lack any sense of appreciation," Yue Wang argued.

"Your position as the Fourth Brother is decreed by destiny; it can never change. Just accept it, and stop bringing it up. Answer my question first," Liu Hui stated.

Liu Lin curiously asked Mei Peng from the side, "What exactly is Yue Wang's ambition?"

Mei Peng pursed his lips and replied, "His ambition is: to gather a group of women and create a new race."

Liu Lin immediately spat out a breath, her face turning bright red, and did not pursue the topic further.

Hu Xian'er finished preparing the tea and came over to pour for everyone. The tea for Liu Hui was a special blend; the others received the regular guest tea. When she set the cup in front of Yue Wang, Hu Xian'er placed the cup on the table and then pushed it away, keeping a considerable distance, as if terrified of any physical contact with him.

Yue Wang certainly noticed Hu Xian'er's gesture, but he seemed helpless about it. He took a sip of tea and said, "You three have been incredibly happy these past few years. You have no idea how miserable I've been. The old man dragged me back right after graduation. He said he wouldn't hold a grudge about me secretly attending university on the mainland, provided I obeyed him and obediently pursued further studies at Harvard Business School. If I did that, I'd get a 20% stake in the company upon graduation. For the sake of that damned stake, I had to submit to the old man's oppressive will. To ensure I focused on studying, he even dispatched a whole team of domestic stewards to watch me—this forbidden, that forbidden. I was living in literal hell. I still admire myself for surviving four years at Harvard Business School without ever picking up a girl, enduring four years of torment. Ah, my youth, so full of missed opportunities... This makes me miss our four years of university even more, back when..."

"Stop. Just tell us why you're here today," Liu Hui interrupted Yue Wang's reminiscing, afraid of what unsavory things might slip out that could cause Liu Lin to misunderstand Mei Peng.

"Didn't I graduate from HBS this June? My old man finally loosened his grip slightly, allowing me occasional visits back to Hong Kong. So, yesterday, while accompanying the old man to a government conference, I learned that the Hong Kong government is planning a massive charity auction and wine reception the day after tomorrow to raise funds for impoverished university students on the mainland. They planned to invite celebrities from all sectors of Hong Kong society. When I saw Lao Er Liu's name among the invitees, I eagerly volunteered to come. First, it's a chance for our brothers to gather. Second, it lets me escape the old man's surveillance for a short while so I can finally catch my breath," Yue Wang quickly explained his purpose for visiting.

"I always knew Lao San Mei was with you. I just never expected to meet Lao Si Zhou here. It seems Heaven is watching out for us, bringing the four of us together here," Yue Wang said with a smile.

"After all these years, this is the first time the four of us are gathering together, isn't it?" Mei Peng remarked.

"That's right. This counts as a happy occasion," Zhou Tengyun agreed.

"Yue Lao Si, you've arrived at the perfect time; I have another piece of good news here," Liu Hui said with a smile.

"What good news?" Mei Peng, Zhou Tengyun, and Yue Wang asked in unison.

"I plan to hold the wedding for Lao Er and Liu Lin one month from now," Liu Hui said, pointing at Mei Peng and Liu Lin.

"So this is the sister-in-law! No wonder she's so beautiful," Yue Wang immediately started flattering her. "Sister-in-law, do you happen to have any beautiful single girlfriends? Perhaps you could introduce a few to me?"

"Boss, what is this about you?" Mei Peng and Liu Lin asked, startled, ignoring Yue Wang's flattery.

"You two, since you have feelings for each other, you should just get married. What's with all this stalling? Your parents must be anxious too. I meant to settle this a while ago, but I was extremely busy recently. But now things are settled; the company is running smoothly, and there are no major issues lately. Just go ahead with the wedding. I am your boss, and I've made the decision on this matter. You have no right to object," Liu Hui asserted with the authority of their leader.

"Boss, but you..." Mei Peng only opened his mouth, momentarily speechless about what to say.

"A real man either agrees or disagrees; don't be so wishy-washy," Liu Hui admonished.

"Since the Boss has decided, then the two of us agree," Liu Lin said quickly, pulling on Mei Peng's arm.

"Lao Er, what is your opinion?" Liu Hui asked Mei Peng.

Mei Peng hadn't wanted to agree, but seeing Liu Lin's pleading eyes, his heart softened, and he consented.

"Wonderful! Our products are selling like mad, and our brother is getting married. This is truly double happiness!" Liu Hui laughed heartily.

"Liu Lao Er, you missed one piece of happiness—the joy of our brothers reuniting!" Yue Wang shouted from the side, but no one paid him any attention.

In the basement of the office building, only Liu Hui and Zhou Tengyun remained.

Zhou Tengyun spoke, "Boss, I've been to Thailand these past few days, and finally to Afghanistan. That night, following your instructions, I disguised myself and became good friends with Mu Lao San. We later smuggled ourselves back to Thailand and located the Hong Hua Gang's base. Through Mu Lao San's introduction, I met Cha Chai, the leader of the Hong Hua Gang. It turns out Mu Lao San is the third-in-command of the gang, very close to Boss Cha Chai. I diverted some funds to win them over, and considering I saved Mu Lao San’s life, I finally gained Cha Chai's trust. Not only did Cha Chai agree to hand over all the Hong Kong shipments to me in the future, but he also inadvertently introduced me to his upstream supplier of narcotics. Through certain methods, I befriended that person, who eventually took me to Afghanistan to meet General Mohandes, a Taliban warlord. According to General Mohandes, they cultivate vast amounts of opium in the regions under his control. However, due to heavy encirclement and suppression by the US forces and the Afghan government army, their transportation routes have become problematic, causing massive backlogs of drugs being shipped out. Since the drugs aren't selling, he lacks the funds to purchase weapons, placing General Mohandes in a very difficult position."

"Excellent. You managed to directly contact an Afghan drug lord general. You've accomplished far more than I imagined and saved me a great deal of time. Do you know how much backlog of narcotics General Mohandes is currently holding?" Liu Hui asked delightedly.

"According to General Mohandes, he has approximately two hundred tons of drugs stockpiled," Zhou Tengyun replied.

"That much?" Liu Hui was thrilled. If he could acquire this stash, he wouldn't have to worry about narcotics for years.

"Yes. General Mohandes is also quite worried. These drugs are useless if they cannot be moved out," Zhou Tengyun stated.

"How many tons of drugs can Mohandes and his people produce annually?" Liu Hui continued to inquire.

"Calculating for Type Four narcotics, their annual production is around one hundred and fifty tons. That figure should be fairly accurate," Zhou Tengyun explained.

"How much can they sell in a year?"

"About twenty tons per year. The situation in Afghanistan is difficult right now, and they lack the capability to secure their drug transport lifeline. Their drugs are frequently intercepted by US forces. So, out of an annual production of one hundred and fifty tons, only about twenty tons manage to get shipped out; the rest is seized and confiscated by the US and government armies. Those drugs rotting in their hands are their accumulated savings from years past, and now that they can't move them, they are very anxious," Zhou Tengyun elaborated in detail.

"What is their selling price for the output?"

"The price for Type Four narcotics translates to fifty Yuan per gram in RMB, but they do not cover transportation; we must arrange to move it ourselves."

"If it's fifty RMB per gram, then a kilogram is fifty thousand RMB, a ton is fifty million RMB, and two hundred tons would be one hundred billion RMB. Converted to USD, that's over a billion dollars," Liu Hui mused for a moment before asking, "Lao San, how feasible do you think it is if we buy up their entire existing stock of narcotics?"

"They would be extremely welcoming of us purchasing their drugs right now. The prolonged backlog of massive quantities has severely depleted their strength," Zhou Tengyun confirmed.

"Did that General Mohandes mention how he prefers to receive payment? Carrying cash is too conspicuous. Surely, they aren't doing bank transfers?" Liu Hui asked curiously.

"The standard transaction method is cash for goods, with no outstanding debts. I haven't heard of transfers or anything like that," Zhou Tengyun scratched his head.

Liu Hui paused, then his eyes lit up suddenly. "Does General Mohandes need a large quantity of weapons?"

"It seems so."

"If we trade our weapons for their drugs, General Mohandes will certainly be willing. In that case, I estimate the cost of those narcotics could drop by half," Liu Hui proposed.

"But transporting weapons into Afghanistan would be far more difficult than moving the drugs out," Zhou Tengyun said with a troubled expression.

"Lao San, don't worry about the transportation issue. I have my own methods," Liu Hui replied with a mysterious smile.

"Could it be... that thing?" Zhou Tengyun suddenly recalled the object Liu Hui possessed that could store items on his person.

"That's right, it's that thing," Liu Hui confirmed.

"If that's the case, then it shouldn't be a problem. However, I need to contact General Mohandes first."

"Very well. Contact General Mohandes immediately and convey my proposal. Then we can carefully plan the details of the operation."
