Sun Cheng casually bought a domestic Android smartphone for a thousand yuan at an electronics store and put his newly reissued SIM card into it.

"Let's just make do with this until I bring back the iPhone 5 next time!" he comforted himself before quickly putting it in his pocket and heading back in the direction of the school.

Although he provided nearly fifty loopholes to the Apple company during the recent transaction, Sun Cheng knew that the loopholes he provided, while tricky and concealed, would only affect the user experience at most and were not high-risk vulnerabilities. Therefore, he could accept the total reward of only 90,000 yen in return from Apple.

The reward for high-risk vulnerabilities from Apple was too low, so Sun Cheng had focused on the vulnerability acquisition platform Zerodium from the beginning. Without any surprises, those vulnerabilities could bring him at least two to three hundred thousand dollars in income.

However, Sun Cheng was completely frustrated with Zerodium's efficiency. Even though he knew that there was a time difference between them and China on the other side of the ocean, a mail from China was sent over two days ago and there was still no reply. The efficiency was too low!

Despite his complaints, his mood became very good because of the received income. When he returned to the vicinity of the school, Sun Cheng didn't rush back to his dormitory but instead went to a small stir-fry restaurant at the school gate and ordered two dishes and a bottle of beer for himself, indulging himself for once.

This meal took more than an hour to finish.

As he ate, drank, and tinkered with his new Android phone, when he finished eating and paying, he realized that it was already dark outside.

Shortly after leaving the small stir-fry restaurant, Sun Cheng suddenly felt something was wrong.

Perhaps it was the reminder from the month he spent in the Decepticon world that made him very cautious. He not only walked with eyes and ears open, but even if someone passed him by, he would look a few more times to remember the person's appearance.

Just now, as he walked out of the small stir-fry restaurant, he was sensitively aware that someone had been staring at him the whole time.

The owner of the gaze was obviously hostile to him, otherwise the now somewhat nervous Sun Cheng would not have reacted.

At first, he thought it was just an illusion. After all, he was not handsome, but he was quite masculine, so it was not strange to be looked at a few more times while walking on the road.

However, Sun Cheng had just tested the other party cautiously. He deliberately entered a nearby supermarket and pretended to buy something but actually found a place to hide for a while, testing the situation.

What he didn't expect was that a young man with blond hair he had seen before in the "student loan" incident rushed into the supermarket shortly after he disappeared for two or three minutes.

"It's him!"

With his eyes slightly narrowed from his hiding place, Sun Cheng recognized the blond hair as the young man he had seen before. Although he couldn't call out the other party's name, he recognized the face.

"I thought you could behave for a few more days..."

With a cold smile, Sun Cheng touched the bulge that was visible under his left ribs. He found that the other party was about to make a call with his phone, and suddenly he had a good opportunity to investigate why the other party was setting him up.

Pretending to be completely unaware of the other party's presence, he bought some snacks and drinks, and then walked directly to the checkout counter.

The blond hair stood near the checkout counter, and Sun Cheng's sudden appearance obviously scared him. He looked at him with an unnatural expression, and then quickly walked to a nearby shopping cabinet when he seemed to realize that Sun Cheng had not found or recognized him.

After paying, Sun Cheng made sure from the corner of his eye that the other party had been staring at him all the time. With a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, he quickly walked out of the supermarket with his things.

Since he already had a plan, he didn't continue walking towards the school. Instead, he leisurely walked to a nearby park with the blond hair following him.

To avoid arousing suspicion, he even took out his newly bought phone and dialed an automatic time reporting service. He raised the phone and deliberately said in a loud voice, "Hey, are you still waiting for me in the park? Okay, I got it. I'll be there soon."

Soon after he saw the park, Sun Cheng put away his phone and walked into a dense corner of the park. After looking around to make sure no one was there, he immediately hid behind a big tree.

Three to five minutes later, he saw the blond hair follow him in, constantly sending text messages with his phone.

Pulling out his Tazer gun from under his rib, Sun Cheng's eyes glinted coldly. When the other party walked to a place not far from him, he took out his Thasor gun without any defense and aimed it at the blond hair's chest, firing a shot.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the low gunshot sound, the unprepared golden-haired body trembled suddenly and let out a scream before convulsing and falling to the ground.

"Don't worry, no one will die!"

Walking out from the shadows, Sun Cheng coldly took out a disposable clip from his pocket and loaded it onto the taser gun in his hand.

Walking up to the other party, he picked up the phone from the ground and flipped through it, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Young Hong, I just saw that kid near the school."

"Good, I know, I'll keep following him, hurry up and come, otherwise it'll be troublesome if he enters the school."

"I'm still following him. He turned into the park near the South University gate. Hurry up!"

...

Throwing the phone aside, Sun Cheng stood directly in front of the golden-haired man and asked coldly, "Why did Xiao Hong set a trap to betray me?"

The taser gun couldn't kill a person, but being hit with an electric shock was definitely not a pleasant experience. The golden-haired man lay on the ground trembling for a while and couldn't recover, his voice was intermittent as he trembled, "You...f**k...looking for death..."

"Bang!"

Sun Cheng suddenly kicked him again, filled with hatred in his heart, exerting all his strength. The kick was so forceful that the golden-haired man flew a little and rolled on the ground before stopping not far away.

"Speak, why did Xiao Hong set a trap to betray me!" He walked coldly back to the side of the golden-haired man and asked in a flat tone.

The golden-haired man gritted his teeth with hatred, his eyes filled with resentment, almost spitting fire.

Sun Cheng didn't doubt that if the other party could stand up, he would definitely engage in hand-to-hand combat with him.

However, the golden-haired man was not stupid. He remained silent and stared at Sun Cheng, neither answering nor provoking him.

Sun Cheng knew that he was trying to buy time and waiting for his companions to arrive.

With a sneer, he kicked him again, making him fly out. Sun Cheng raised the taser gun in his hand and aimed it at him again, his tone cold, "This gun can't kill people, but you know the feeling. There are examples of people becoming paralyzed for life after being hit by two or three electric shocks overseas. Do you want to try?"

The golden-haired man's eyes bulged and he looked at the gun in his hand with some fear, but still didn't speak.

Sun Cheng didn't waste any more time with him and aimed again, firing another shot.

"Ah..."

The miserable scream rang out again, and it seemed that even the convulsions lasted longer than before.

Sun Cheng still looked at him coldly, but this time he didn't say anything, took out another disposable clip from his pocket and loaded it onto the taser gun, aiming at the motionless golden-haired man, preparing to fire another shot.

"Ba...Ba Yao...Da...Woa also knows...just heard from Sister Hong...he must get you..."

At first, because of the consecutive electric shocks, the golden-haired man couldn't speak clearly due to his twitching mouth, but after catching his breath, although he still spoke slowly, it was no longer like listening to a regional dialect.

However, his answer obviously did not satisfy Sun Cheng. He raised his gun coldly, aimed it at the golden-haired man again, and ordered, "Don't play tricks with me, otherwise, tonight I'll make you a corpse. Does Xiao Hong dare to mess with me without knowing anything? Killing a person is nothing to me. Now, listen to my question: Why did Xiao Hong set a trap to betray me? What role does Liu Kun ploy in it? What is Xiao Hong's background?"

"Big...Big Brother...I really don't know why Xiao Hong...wanted to mess with you...Oh, right, Liu Kun, that kid...borrowed a lot of money from us...later Xiao Hong sent people to pressure him to repay the debt...he couldn't pay it back, so he had to exchange it for a bigger IOU...One day, I don't know what he said to Xiao Hong, but Xiao Hong was very happy and said that he would waive his debt after the matter was done..."

The guy stuttered and spoke slowly, but he did answer some things that satisfied Sun Cheng.

However, when it came to Xiao Hong's identity, the guy's eyes kept darting around, obviously not wanting to answer that question.

Sun Cheng became impatient, fearing that someone who was worried about Xiao Hong would come at any moment. He raised his taser gun again and, with an annoyed expression, pulled the trigger, pointing the barrel directly at the golden-haired guy's forehead.

The next moment, he immediately smelled a strong odor of urine. Before Sun Cheng could find the source of the smell, the golden-haired guy cried out, "Big brother...please, big brother...I'll tell you everything...Xiao Hong isn't a troublemaker. He owns several loan companies, and the people nearby all respect him. They say his family might be government officials, with a strong background...Some of us have been in trouble before, but he can get us out of it."

Seeing the guy cry pitifully, Sun Cheng was about to stop, but he caught a glimpse of anger and hatred in the guy's eyes. He coldly laughed and lifted the gun again, this time pointing it at the guy's chest, saying indifferently, "From the looks of it, you want to take revenge on me. If you survive, tell Xiao Hong that this isn't over..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he calmly pulled the trigger.

With a loud bang, the golden-haired guy convulsed and trembled on the ground. His eyes rolled back, and he completely passed out.

After putting the taser gun away, Sun Cheng coldly looked at him, picked up a few bullets from his body, and prepared to leave.

But just as he took a few steps, he turned back and picked up the yellow-haired guy's phone, which turned out to be an iPhone. Unfortunately, when he tried to check the guy's contacts, he was blocked by a password wall.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Cheng decided to take the phone with him as well.

The young man named Xiao Hong made him feel uneasy and panicked, something he hadn't felt in the Decepticon world in a long time. This feeling made him very uncomfortable, so he decided to take the initiative to attack.
