"Big bro, what's the rush? Calling us over like this—what's going on? And what's with this little kid?"

A thin young man with a runny nose asked.

"You've been whining about wanting to do something big, haven't you? Now's the time! There's an opportunity—one job, and we're set for life!" The man with narrow, triangular eyes lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"What kind of opportunity?"

The runny-nosed youth snatched the cigarette from the corner of the triangular-eyed man's mouth and took a deep drag.

"Damn it! What's wrong with you? There are more cigarettes in the pack—why take mine?" The triangular-eyed man kicked him.

The thin youth sniffled, "I just didn't want to bother lighting one. Here, take it back!" He took another heavy drag and returned the half-smoked cigarette.

"Get lost, you filthy idiot! I shouldn't have called you here in the first place!" The triangular-eyed man scolded him harshly.

"Big bro, just tell us what's the big deal that'll set us for life?"

This time, another man, with a sharp and menacing air, spoke up.

Hearing this, the triangular-eyed man finally calmed down and pointed to some photos on the table in front of him.

"Do you know who this little girl is?"

"What's her story?" The menacing man raised an eyebrow.

"She's the princess of 'Eternal Beauty Cream'—the daughter of the boss!" the triangular-eyed man explained.

"What's so special about this cream? Never heard of it," the runny-nosed youth chimed in immediately.

The triangular-eyed man, furious, kicked him again.

"I told you to keep up with the news online! You spend all your time playing games or watching livestreams. You barely read anything. Fine, don't read the news, but at least scroll through TikTok! I must've been out of my mind to team up with you. It's a miracle we've gotten this far!"

The kicked youth got up, brushing himself off, and mumbled, "I did watch TikTok before, but you're the one who told me to uninstall it!"

The triangular-eyed man paused, taken aback. His expression shifted, and he angrily retorted, "I told you to uninstall it because you couldn't control yourself! You wasted our hard-earned money tipping streamers! Over ten grand gone overnight! What did you get in return? A personal chat or a 'thank you'?!"

"Big bro, forget it. Don't get worked up over him." The menacing man shook his head in exasperation, then turned to the runny-nosed youth. "Listen, maybe this girl's family isn't insanely rich right now, but they're about to be. The boss of Eternal Beauty Cream makes at least 10 million a day—at least!"

"Ten million a day?! What is it—military tech or biological weapons?!" The runny-nosed youth's eyes widened.

The triangular-eyed man raised his foot as if to kick again but held back at the last moment. He ignored him and turned to the menacing man.

"These photos were taken by the fourth brother. He found out the girl attends a kindergarten in Jiangzhou, so he got a job as a security guard at a company across the street to keep an eye on her."

"Big bro, is fourth bro planning to kidnap her?" The menacing man's eyes lit up.

The triangular-eyed man nodded without hesitation.

"Fourth bro discussed it with me. It's absolutely doable. Her parents recently got rich and don't have much awareness about security. According to him, there's no bodyguard protecting her—just her parents picking her up from school. This is the perfect opportunity!"

"Big bro, how much ransom should we demand after grabbing the kid?" The runny-nosed youth asked excitedly.

"Ransom? No. These days, cash is too risky. Plus, her family might not have that much cash on hand since they're investing in a production facility. Instead, we'll demand the formula for Eternal Beauty Cream. It's worth way more than any ransom and involves less risk!"

"The formula? What would we even do with it—start making and selling it ourselves?" The runny-nosed youth was confused.

The triangular-eyed man sighed deeply, looking at him as if he were hopeless. "The formula is worth billions. If selling it domestically feels too risky, we can find a buyer overseas. The product's popularity is exploding worldwide, not just in China. Trust me, we'll have plenty of buyers willing to pay billions!"

The runny-nosed youth froze, trembling. "Billions? Are you serious?"

"Yes!" The menacing man confirmed.

"Billions? Oh my god... Big bro, when do we head to Jiangzhou to make our move? One job, and we're set for life!"

"Set for life? You? Don't kid yourself—you'd probably blow it all in a few years chasing women," the triangular-eyed man scoffed.

"Pack your bags. We're taking tonight's flight to Jiangzhou. We'll meet up with fourth bro and plan everything carefully. This has to be a one-shot deal. If we tip them off, we'll never get another chance!"

"Got it, big bro!"

The group agreed in unison, their eyes gleaming with ambition.
