164: The child got out of the car; we were about to get on the highway.

Meanwhile, at John's estate.

Just as John was about to report the Kokang matter, a subordinate hurried in from outside.

"Leader, Myanmar's Minister of Resources is here and says he has an urgent matter to discuss with you."

John's lips curved into an imperceptible arc when he heard this. "Let him come in himself."

"Yes!"

A moment later, Du Enwei walked into the hall with a calm expression.

Once the man arrived, John waved his hand at the others in the hall, signaling them to leave.

When only the two of them remained in the hall, John slowly said, "Sit down and talk. They sent you here, not because they want the Four Great Families' industries, do they?"

"Leader, you guessed right, but there are still smart people among them who know this is impossible, so they gave up. However, they want these industries to pay them some taxes."

Du Enwei looked at the man in front of him, estimating that only he understood Hydra the most in all of Myanmar.

The reason he volunteered to come and talk to John was for no other reason than that he himself was also a member of Hydra.

There was no choice; to survive, he had to obey them, but for him, this was not a bad thing. After all, with Hydra's help, he might be able to move up in his position in a short time.

When he took that position, Myanmar would truly be Myanmar.

Therefore, he was not averse to Hydra, and now, even less so.

Being in it, one knows its terror.

John was a little surprised to hear this. Taxes?

Is that all?

He had thought those guys wanted to take a share of the pie from him, but it turned out to be just this.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh wryly, "No problem. In your opinion, how much tax would satisfy them?"

It was nothing more than taking from one hand and giving to the other, just a small amount of tax, considered as saving money for Hydra in advance.

Anyway, power would eventually fall into the hands of the legitimate ruler, and as for who this legitimate ruler was, it was, of course, the current Minister of Resources, Du Enwei!

Seeing John's readiness, Du Enwei was not surprised. After a moment of thought, he said, "Leader, ten percent is enough. Giving more would make them think you're easy to bully, and giving less would likely cause them to make trouble later."

"Alright, then let's do as you say, ten percent!"

John agreed without a second thought.

After settling the matter, the two chatted for a few more minutes about other things before Du Enwei got up and left... Half an hour later, Oregon State!

Inside Young Master Wang's estate, Wang Shaojun looked at the night view outside, while two maids brewed tea beside him. The aroma of tea filled the air, and he closed his eyes, becoming immersed in it.

Just then, Butler Wei suddenly hurried over and bowed, saying, "Young Lord, the Four Great Families have been dealt with. Many collectibles were seized from their estates. George asks if he should send someone to deliver them to you?"

Hearing Butler Wei's voice, Wang Shaojun opened his eyes and said indifferently, "No need. Let them keep them for now. I'll ask for them when I need them."

"Yes, Young Lord!"

Then, Wang Shaojun took a sip of the hot tea on the table and continued, "Any news on the special cancer drug?"

"Young Lord, not yet, but it should be soon. The Dark Web has pinpointed a research base, and there might be news in a few days."

Hearing that the Dark Web had found the target, Wang Shaojun stopped asking about it.

It would be best if they found it; if not, he would just have to find other ways.

His thoughts drifted to the system space, where ninety percent of the items were gone. He believed that with this batch of people, various organizations would develop much faster.

Even the intelligent swarm bombs had been given to Yang Zhongzhou; he believed they needed these weapons more.

Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and opened TikTok.

As soon as he opened it, Wang Yuxin's live stream appeared.

Clicking in, she must have been streaming for a while, and was currently singing.

Xiao Anyi was accompanying her on an instrument.

Seeing that her mood was not affected by the kidnapping, Wang Shaojun couldn't help but look at her in a new light.

Anyone who encountered such a thing would probably need a few days to calm down, let alone a girl.

It seemed his sister's psychological resilience was stronger than he had imagined.

The Modu incident caused a stir, and the fans in the live stream naturally knew about it.

[Duck Egg Superman, you are simply my idol. To be able to sing so calmly after experiencing something like this, you're too strong.]

[Who says it isn't? You don't know, I was there at the time. Good heavens, those guys were really arrogant, kidnapping Duck Egg Superman in front of so many people. I even thought it was a movie scene at the time, but then I thought, no, if it's a movie, why isn't anyone paying me for my appearance? It wasn't until the Bodyguard following Egg slapped the other gang member to the ground that I realized what was happening.]

[You useless person, you didn't even help while you were there.]

[Exactly, if it were me, I would save Egg even at the risk of breaking my leg.]

[Damn it, easy to say. I can hear your calculations all the way in Siberia while I'm planting potatoes.]

[Exactly, you just want to be a hero and save the beauty, then you want Egg to pledge herself to you. Bah! Someone like you, still thinking about pledging herself? At most, she'll repay you in her next life as an ox or a horse.]

[That makes sense, but no matter what, it's good that Egg returned safely.]

[It seems being rich isn't easy either; the risk of being kidnapped is much greater than for us.]

[Shit, isn't that obvious? They might kidnap Egg for money, but what do you have? Kidnap you to inherit your Huabei (Ant Credit Pay)?]

After finishing a song, Wang Yuxin looked at the bullet comments, smiled calmly, and explained, "Before I started streaming, I received many concerned private messages, so I just came online to report that I'm safe, and to thank everyone for their concern. Actually, I'm still very scared, boo hoo hoo hoo!"

With that, she hugged Xiao Anyi, who hadn't reacted yet, buried her head in her chest, and looked at the live stream camera with a sad expression on her face.

This scene left the fans in the live stream stunned.

Coupled with Xiao Anyi's flushed cheeks, everyone immediately became agitated.

[Egg, although I understand your current feelings, let go of my Bai Mian Mantou (White-faced Steamed Bun - Nickname for Xiao Anyi). Where are you putting your face?]

[Damn it, why can't I use facial cleanser?]

[If only I could switch places with Egg right now. Even if I had to stay in that position for a lifetime, I'd be willing.]

[Facial cleansers on the market are too expensive, one or two thousand at every turn, I can't afford them.]

[Brother, why use such good ones? There are some for five or six hundred too.]

[No, those cheap ones are too inferior. I'm afraid they'll ruin my face.]

[What are you talking about? I always use my sister's.]

[Kid, get off the bus quickly. This isn't the bus to kindergarten.]
