Chen Chen arrived at Mickey's Cafe first.
As a shop that specialized in high-end tea drinks, Mickey Coffee Shop had private rooms that other coffee shops did not have. Each private room would have a theme and Chen Chen had booked a MiamiHouse-themed private room a few hours ago.
After arriving, Chen Chen checked the time and called the waiter over. He instructed the waiter to turn off the power switch in the private room after he sent the text.
Although he had never seen such a strange request before, the customer was the king. The waiter took the 100 RMB tip from Chen Chen and patted his chest on the spot, promising that he would do it.
After that, Chen Chen drew the curtains of the private room and turned on all the lights, then waited in silence.
More than ten minutes later, footsteps could be heard coming from outside the room …
…
"How many of you?"
When Zhan Fei stepped into Mickey Cafe, the receptionist immediately greeted him with a smile.
"I'm here for an appointment. My name is Zhan Fei."
Zhan Fei said with a dark expression. Because he was being coerced, he did not have a good attitude towards the doorman.
"Okay, the name of your private room is Mickey's Wonderhouse. There's already a gentleman waiting for you. Please go ahead."
The receptionist smiled and pointed the way for Zhan Fei. At the end of the corridor, there were indeed a few tightly shut doors.
Zhan Fei scoffed and quickly walked to the door. After a moment's hesitation, he mustered his courage and opened the door.
The room was not very bright.
It was noon, the time when the sun was at its hottest, but the private room was blocked by thick curtains. Only a few incandescent lamps above their heads were lit.
With the help of the light in the room, Zhan Fei saw a young man in his twenties looking at him quietly in front of a medieval European-style round table.
All along, Zhan Fei had never believed in the concept of temperament. In his opinion, the so-called temperament was just a matter of clothes. As long as one was dressed lavishly, had a perfect figure, and was handsome, it would give others the illusion that one had a good temperament.
However, Zhan Fei now realized that something as mysterious as temperament existed in this world.
The youth in front of him was around 20 years old. It could be said that he was very young, but he had a pair of eyes that shone like the starry sky.
At a glance, Zhan Fei felt as if he was about to fall into a black hole …
The young man's appearance was not outstanding, and he wore very ordinary casual clothes. However, there was something different about him that was hard to describe.
If it had to be described, it would be a temperament similar to confidence.
His strong self-confidence gave the young man a unique attractiveness. He was obviously dressed like an ordinary person, and his appearance was obviously not outstanding, but he was able to emit a brilliance that was even more dazzling than a star!
Facing this young man who seemed to be more than ten years younger than him, Zhan Fei's breathing stagnated. The questions he had prepared were naturally stuck in his throat.
"Mr. Zhan, please come in."
The young man sized up Zhan Fei who was standing at the door. After a while, he smiled. "Come in and take a seat. Why are you being so polite?"
Courteous your mother, Snow Jade!
Zhan Fei opened his mouth, suppressing the urge to curse. Before knowing the other party's background, it was better to be cautious.
With that thought in mind, Zhan Fei walked into the private room of Wonderhouse and sat opposite the young man.
"What would you like to drink?" The young man tossed over a menu.
"A cup of cappuccino will do." Zhan Fei did not take it, merely replying casually.
"Waiter?" The young man immediately shouted at the door. "Pour auntie … a cup of cappuccino for this gentleman."
Having suddenly entered from outside, Zhan Fei was not used to the dim lighting. He frowned and stared at the young man across the table. "You're X?"
"Yes, I'm X."
To Zhan Fei's surprise, the young man in front of him actually admitted his identity. "I was the one who contacted you this morning."
'You call that contacting me? That's a threat and extortion, understand? '
Zhan Fei cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he said, "You said you called King and the others. Where are they now?"
"They're all late."
The young man shrugged. "But it doesn't matter. King has been observing this place from the restaurant across the street for half an hour. SB and CZH will be here in a few minutes."
He even knew that King was secretly observing them from across the street?
Zhan Fei frowned. However, when he thought about how this X was able to hack into the base station, it was not surprising that he was able to locate them through his phone.
As expected, a few minutes later, two more footsteps were heard. Two bespectacled men with slightly bald heads walked in together.
Zhan Fei did not recognize these two men, but when he thought about what X had said, it was obvious that they were the famous SB and CZH.
These two men seemed to be old acquaintances in real life, so they came together. Moreover, based on the thick glasses they wore and their lack of hair, it was very much in line with the saying "birds of a feather flock together" in the Mainland.
As soon as the two men entered, they only glanced at Zhan Fei once before automatically ignoring him. Their solemn gazes were focused on the young man across the table.
"Tell us, what do you want us to do?"
One of the two men said bluntly, "If you're thinking of using our identities in the Dark Web to threaten us, then you'll be disappointed. We're not afraid of threats. At least we haven't done anything outrageous."
"That's not what I was thinking at all."
The young man spread his hands and looked toward the door. "Since the two of you are here, please invite King in."
Zhan Fei and the two men quickly turned around. Sure enough, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes had appeared at the door.
This newly appeared middle-aged man had thin cheeks and a tall and straight figure. He was dressed in expensive clothes and anyone could see that he was no ordinary person.
However, for some reason, when faced with the young man across the table, his aura was completely crushed by the young man.
"Are you really X?"
Ignoring the three people in the room, the middle-aged man walked in with his head held high and his chest puffed out. He stared at the young man. "The legal representative of the company that I found through the government website is really you?"
"It's really me." The young man smiled helplessly. "I know it's hard for you to believe but it's okay. After we've reached an agreement, we'll have a lot of time to get to know each other better."
"I never said I wanted to cooperate with you." Zhan Fei scoffed.
"Of course, if you still don't agree after I've told you my conditions, you can leave immediately."
The young man across the table smiled. "I promise I won't continue to threaten you."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I am."
The young man nodded solemnly. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Chen, my alias on the Dark Web is X. Of course, I'm sure you've never heard of me. After all, I'm just a nobody, not worth mentioning."
The four of them could not be bothered with the young man's polite words. If even he was a nobody, then there were no big shots in the Dark Web.
