Mia (Liu Manqiong) felt like she was on the verge of copsing.


    At this moment, she was too overwhelmed to think about being held by Charlie; her primary concern was to get herself out of trouble as quickly as possible.


    Although she had seen on TV how people used others as shields in dangerous situations, she had never experienced anything like it herself.


    Charlie had just made a joke, which sparked an idea for a prank in her mind.


    However, Mia never anticipated that Charlie would escte things to such an uncontroble level.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    For the first time, she felt a wave of fear wash over her. Her voice trembled as she pleaded, “Charlie, please, you need to leave Hong Kong Ind right away. You cane backter, but if you don’t leave today, it will create a lot of problems!”


    Noticing the redness in her eyes and the hint of tears, Charlie paused, released her hand, and responded earnestly, “Miss Mia, you don’t need to worry about me. I’ll be honest; I came to Hong Kong Ind looking for trouble!”


    He spoke nonchntly, disregarding the shock in Mia’s eyes. “I came here because someone has provoked me, and I want to deal with him. If no one bothers me, I’ll find someone to challenge. Simple as that!”


    “If that Pankaj isn’t connected to Hongmen, I might not even bother with him. But since he has ties to Hongmen Shen, whether he provokes me today or not, I’ll eventually confront Hongmen!”


    “Are you out of your mind?!” Mia eximed, stunned. “Why are you messing with Hongmen? Do you understand what they are? On Hong Kong Ind, even the wealthiest individuals wouldn’t dare to oppose them. It could end badly!”


    Charlie didn’t reveal to Mia that he had read up on the situation provided by Abbas beforending. He knew that various factions on Hong Kong Ind were vying to eliminate Arman and im a 30 million USD bounty, with Hongmen’s name mentioned among them.


    That’s why, before Arman was sent back, Charlie felt it was necessary to confront Hongmen himself. With a smile, he said to Mia, “It’s fine; I thrive on excitement.”


    He then shifted the subject, dragging the cardboard box he was carrying and asking, “Aren’t you going to send something? Shall we go?”


    Feeling defeated, Mia sighed and replied, “I’ll call my dad to check on him.”


    Charlie frowned, turned to leave, and said, “If you tell your dad about this, I won’t return to your house tonight. I’ll just find out where Hongmen is and go directly to have a chat with them.”


    “You…” Mia was at a loss for words, her frustration boiling over. She was utterly exasperated by Charlie’s indifference and finally said through gritted teeth, “Alright, if you refuse to leave, I’ll stick with you wherever you go from now on!”


    “Okay,” Charlie replied casually. “You’re my guide, so juste along.”<fna9b9> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? find[?]ovel</fna9b9>


    Mia could only sigh in resignation as she hurried to catch up with Charlie and suggested, “Let’s skip eating out tonight and head home early.”


    “No way,” Charlie waved his hand dismissively. “If you want to go back, that’s fine, but I really want to explore the nightlife on Hong Kong Ind.”


    Mia felt helpless and said, “Fine, fine… I’m with you…”


    Charlie nodded, pulled out his phone, and called Abbas. As soon as the call connected, Abbas responded respectfully, “Mr. Wade, how can I assist you?”


    Charlie nced at Mia (Liu Manqiong) and inquired, “Have you looked into Pankaj before?”


    “Mr. Wade, my team has conducted an investigation,” Abbas replied. “Pankaj is the eldest son of Huzaifa, the richest man on Hong Kong Ind. While Huzaifa’s wealth ces him in the top five, he isn’t in the top three, but he has strong connections with Hongmen. The current leader of Hongmen is his foster father.”
