Chapter 423: Chapter 426: Got Tricked_1

Yang Gang thought for a while before saying: "Um...how about ’Yang Family’s General’?"

Gu Xiaorou was dumbfounded: "Raise your sister!"

"Whoa, what does Yang Fei have to do with this? Xiaorou, a woman should be virtuous and knowledgeable, only women like Sister Miao are popular. Your outburst ’Raise your sister’ just shows your middle school education level." Yang Gang said.

"Huh! It’s not up to an illiterate like you to lecture me." Gu Xiaorou paused and looked at Zhang Miao, saying: "Sister Miao, naming a child is a sacred matter, leaving it to this idiot is too unreliable."

Zhang Miao smiled, turned her head and looked at Yang Gang: "Gang, take this seriously."

"Uh, all right." After a brief pause, Yang Gang suggested: "What about ’Yang Tianyou’? In the ’Investiture of the Gods’, Yang Tianyou, an ordinary scholar, managed to win the heart of the Jade Emperor’s sister, now that’s part and parcel of a success story. Plus, the ’An’ (peace) from Yang Anqi will be conveyed in our boy’s name. ’Tianyou’ also carries our wishes for the baby’s health."

"Who’s Yang Tianyou?" Gu Xiaorou asked, puzzled.

Zhang Miao laughed and explained, "He’s the father of Erlang God, Yang Jian, and his mother is the Jade Emperor’s sister."

"Oh, sounds impressive." Gu Xiaorou replied.

Zhang Miao turned to Yang Gang again: "This name is good. ’Yang Tianyou’, if it’s a boy, we will go with this name."

After chit-chatting for a while longer, Yang Gang took his leave.

He left Gu Xiaorou’s apartment and headed straight for Chunyang Hotel.

Inspector Gu Ran had invited him to the hotel for the evening.

Although Gu Ran didn’t explicitly state the purpose of booking a room, they were all adults, right? Could there be another reason for booking a room other than getting down to business?

Moreover, the room number Gu Ran booked was giving him hints.

Room 735, 735, doesn’t that sound similar to ’please get on me’?

"Emma, I’m truly a genius." Yang Gang gleefully thought to himself.

When he arrived at Room 735 in Chunyang Hotel, he knocked on the door.

The door opened, and a woman walked out from inside.

It was Gu Ran.

Seeing Gu Ran, Yang Gang’s mouth watered.

Gu Ran was stunningly dressed for the night. Her beige suit showed off her elegant, intellectual demeanor, albeit a bit tight;

The thin belt around her waist accentuated her figure as she walked; her newly dyed chestnut wavy hair looked like clouds piled on her shoulders, her carefully applied light makeup gave her a radiant and extraordinary charisma.

"You’re here?" Gu Ran asked.

"Um." Yang Gang’s gaze was scanning Gu Ran from head to toe as he absentmindedly responded.

"I’ll go to the bedroom and get ready. Wait five minutes before coming in." After saying this, Gu Ran moved into the bedroom.

Yang Gang’s heart was fluttering with excitement.

After waiting in the living room for about two or three minutes, Yang Gang could hardly control himself, and simply stripped down his clothes in a hurry.

Then, after a torturous two more minutes - just about five minutes total - Yang Gang enthusiastically knocked on the bedroom door.

"Come in." Gu Ran’s voice came from inside.

Yang Gang opened the bedroom door excitedly.

Then,

Light came on, welcome music started to play, and then Yang Gang froze in horror.

Not only was Gu Ran in the room, but also Yang Feng, Ye Qing, Ye Lan, Zhao Shanshan, Shitou, Qingjiao and other core members of ’Love and World Peace’.

Everyone was fully dressed, except for Young Master Yang...

Yang Gang was reminded of a joke he’d seen online: it told the story of a boss who had been invited to his secretary’s home and asked to wait in the living room while she went to the bedroom. The boss, misinterpreting the secretary’s intentions, stripped naked in the living room and made his way to the bedroom. To his horror, the bedroom was filled with his colleagues and his wife. It turned out, they were planning a surprise birthday party for him. What was meant to be a delightful surprise turned into a horrifying shock, and what should have been a comedy became a tragedy.

Yang Gang didn’t expect to fall into the same trap today and become the protagonist of that same joke.

What a tragedy.

The sight of Yang Gang running into the bedroom stark naked left everyone present in a state of shock.

Wha... what on earth was happening?

Yet it was Zhao Shanshan who managed to recover first. Suppressing a giggle, she said, "Boss, you seem to have misunderstood something."

Yang Gang quickly came to his senses and calmly exited the bedroom. After dressing himself, he returned and asked calmly, "What are we celebrating? It’s not my birthday today."

Oh God!

The crowd was speechless at Yang Gang’s cool and collected demeanor.

Eventually, Gu Ran couldn’t bear it any longer, slamming the table and exclaiming, "Yang Gang! Did you or did you not misunderstand something just now!"

Seeing this, Yang Feng hurriedly intervened, "Ahem, the purpose of our gathering tonight is simply to celebrate. Anything else is merely... entertainment."

The crowd cast admiring glances at Yang Feng for his swift damage control.

"You still haven’t told me what we’re celebrating," Yang Gang said. He resolutely ignored the subject of his naked run.

"Ah, that’s right. Boss, our company ’Love and World Peace’ has just landed another deal, worth a trillion US dollars."

What the?!

Yang Gang couldn’t contain his shock. "What merchandise could possibly be so expensive?"

All of a sudden, everyone’s faces became stern.

"What’s going on?" Yang Gang’s face hardened. "We’ve made it clear, haven’t we? Even though ’Love and World Peace’ is an arms dealer, we don’t compromise our principles. We absolutely do not touch drugs!"

"Uh, boss, it’s not drugs. It’s a set of files. The client didn’t specify what files they were, but my guess is they’re probably a list of individuals with genetic modifications. In today’s age of digital communication, there’s always the risk of data being intercepted by hackers, so they’ve decided to transport the documents physically," Yang Feng explained.

Yang Gang was genuinely alarmed this time.

"And where are we to deliver these documents?" Yang Gang asked.

"The recipient is also confidential, but I suppose it’s an international officer from the United Nations. As to what they’d want with the list, I can’t say," replied Yang Feng.

He paused before continuing, "I thought about rejecting this deal, but it would bring in at least a hundred million in profit, so I didn’t turn it down right away. The client was agreeable and gave me three days to consider. I only defer to you on matters like these, so it’s up to you, boss."

"Hm...why wouldn’t we accept it? Even if we don’t, someone else will," Yang Gang replied indifferently.

"Uh, the penalty for breach of contract is a whopping one billion dollars," Yang Feng added.

Yang Gang glanced at Yang Feng, responding nonchalantly, "If the information in the files really is a list of individuals with genetic modifications, then its worth can easily exceed a trillion dollars, let alone a billion. Since the client has chosen to trust us with this delivery, how can we let them down?"

"Ah, I see now," Yang Feng said.

Curious, Yang Gang asked, "Hey, Brother Feng, can we take a peek at that list?"

Yang Feng grimaced, "Boss, they’ve secured it in a coded box. The box is made of some unknown material that’s reportedly capable of withstanding a nuclear blast. We can’t open it. However, the client did teach us how to detonate the box, in case the ’information’ is at risk of falling into the wrong hands."

Yang Gang was slightly disappointed.

It would have been great if they could crack the code and access the list of genetic modifiers.

There are around a hundred thousand genetic modifiers in the world, most of whom live undetected among ordinary humans. It’s generally hard to gather information on these individuals.

In a world where information is power, securing a list of all genetic modifiers would be of colossal importance.

After the decision to accept the commission, they celebrated with champagne and cake before parting ways.

Yang Gang left later than the others. As he was about to leave, someone tugged at his sleeve.
