Chen Yu took the badge from the man's waist, his eyes suddenly flashing with a trace of murderous intent.
"Can it scan what this Flying Cloud means?"
[Its headquarters is located in Cyprus, with Carnai as one of its members]
A flood of information then appeared in Chen Yu's mind.
His pupils involuntarily trembled violently, indicating that the strength of this Flying Cloud was extremely formidable, with Carnai only ranking seventh within it.
Such a powerful organization standing there could threaten the safety of his family at any time.
Chen Yu suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
[Organization decomposition program initiated, will process the corpse for the host]
Subsequently, the lean man's body visibly dissipated at a rapid pace, ultimately turning into a pile of light purple powder.
"Flying Cloud, huh?" Chen Yu's eyes were filled with fierceness as he crushed the Flying Cloud Token in his hand and returned to the villa.
The next morning, Chen Yu arrived at the shop with a troubled mind, filled with information about Flying Cloud.
Perhaps even someone at the level of Zhou Shengtao wouldn't necessarily know of Flying Cloud's existence.
By 8 A.M., a long line had formed outside the shop, mostly comprised of delivery boys.
Just as he was about to go in and help, he suddenly noticed that next to the convenience store opposite, a lottery shop had opened.
For such national chain stores, it's not strange for them to open anywhere, but the location of this shop seemed a bit off to Chen Yu.
That spot was perfectly positioned to observe everything inside Chen Yu's shop from the side.
However, the system didn't give any hints; maybe he was just being overly nervous.
Just as he was about to enter his shop, shaking his head, he suddenly saw Xie Jiang and a few workers under his command at the counter of the lottery shop, seemingly playing with scratch-off lottery tickets or something of the sort.
Chen Yu frowned slightly and instinctively walked over.
"Lao Xie, feeling leisurely today?"
Xie Jiang scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "It's just neighbors supporting the new shop! Plus, I wanted to see if I was lucky enough."
Chen Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; there were already dozens of scratched and discarded scratch-off lotteries beside Xie Jiang and the workers.
Normally, the win rate of these things should be fairly high, but having scratched so many without a single win was suspicious.
[System Alert, this store's procedures are incomplete, all items sold are recycled goods]
Chen Yu's mouth opened slightly, and he subconsciously surveyed his surroundings, noticing that indeed, the shop's interior wasn't much to look at, looking like the previous wonton shop with some minor modifications.
Looking at this, it seemed the owner planned to use counterfeit scratch-offs to make a quick buck before taking off.
Just then, a mass of information suddenly flooded Chen Yu's mind.
Afterward, the results of all the scratch-offs in the shop appeared before his eyes.
Indeed, amongst the more than six thousand various scratch-off tickets, fewer than fifty were winners.
The grim-faced shop owner was sitting behind the counter at this moment, looking at Xie Jiang and the others with a gaze that expected to fool the gullible.
"Sir, would you like to play?" The owner took out a scratch-off lottery ticket from the counter and handed it to Chen Yu.
"Let's have some fun then!" Chen Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, "But I'd like to pick one myself."
The owner immediately became excited.
For him, the shorter the duration the shop was open, the better, and the quicker the money was made, the better.
As long as he could sell all the scratch cards here in the shortest amount of time, he could move on to another location.
Chen Yu didn't care too much, he directly picked out forty-eight scratch cards from the pile.
But as he picked out these scratch cards, the owner's eyes suddenly bulged like a cow's.
The owner had made special marks on each scratch card, and these forty-eight were the winning guarantees he had deliberately kept aside.
After all, if such things kept losing, anyone would become suspicious.
But now all the winning guarantees had been picked out, which greatly alarmed the owner.
Before he could react, Chen Yu had already scratched off ten cards and passed the scratched cards to Xie Jiang, asking him to help verify them.
"Old Chen, won a hundred bucks!"
"This one has twenty bucks!"
...
It was too late for the owner to stop him; Chen Yu was very fast. Soon, all the scratch cards had been scratched.
However, the amounts won were very small, with the sum totaling less than two thousand yuan.
Chen Yu deliberately made a discontented face, "Boss, the amount you offer is way too small. Other places have prizes up to a million."
Sweat suddenly erupted like a torrent on the owner's forehead. If his store offered a million yuan prize, would he even survive?
"This sort of thing depends on luck. Besides, you've only scratched fifty cards. Scratch a few more, and maybe you'll hit the jackpot."
Chen Yu sat down next to him and tapped on the counter.
"If I'm not mistaken, aside from the ones I just scratched, the rest probably won't have any prize!"
The owner was stunned for a moment, and his body began to tremble slightly.
"Sir, what are you implying?"
Chen Yu took one of the winning scratch cards, "No implication, I'm just wondering what these marks are about. Don't tell me they were there when they were made."
Xie Jiang and a few workers beside him hurried to examine the winning cards and found an extremely subtle mark on each of them.
A wave of anger erupted among them. By this point, even a fool would understand what was going on.
"Great, no wonder you called us over to play early in the morning. Turns out it was all a trick; you were using us as patsies! And we were even nice enough to come support your business."
Xie Jiang was at the peak of his anger and went straight up, grabbing the owner's collar, almost dragging him out from behind the counter.
At this moment, Chen Yu called Zhou Shengtao, asking him to send someone to arrest the culprit.
The owner's face turned ashen; the marks he had made were extremely secretive and should not have been noticeable to the average person.
Moreover, Chen Yu had picked the cards directly from behind the glass counter.
It wasn't long before the owner was taken away, and the entire shop was closed down. Searᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Xie Jiang resentfully threw the bunch of scratch cards he was holding onto the ground.
"Such bad luck early in the morning!"
Chen Yu patted Xie Jiang on the shoulder: "Alright, even if places like these were legitimate, we can't always come here."
Xie Jiang sighed helplessly: "I just wanted to teach these kids a lesson, and considering the owner was a neighbor..."
Xie Jiang became somewhat incoherent, not knowing what to say, just looking resentfully at one of the young men.
"Did you hear what Boss Chen said? If you need money, come to me. Places like this, you're better off avoiding in the future."
