Chapter 477
Chapter 477: Prodigal Badge
These days, even a robot that Hong Dali made also knew how to squander! How were normal people supposed to live anymore!
Sweat poured down from the Bureau Chief, and he decisively shut up. He couldn’t speak anymore. Otherwise, he would probably die from depression!
Luckily, the way in wasn’t long. Just a short while later the Bureau Chief had entered the small conference room that Hong Dali was resting in. Hong Dali was resting on Li Nianwei’s lap and sleeping while Li Nianwei was playing with the phone that Hong Dali gave her.
It was very quiet in the room. Li Nianwei perfectly played the role of a pillow for Hong Dali. Of course, if Hong Dali woke up, then she would suitably transform into his big sister, the type that doted on her little brother.
“Hello, Bureau Chief.” Li Nianwei heard the door opening and looked up to see the Bureau Chief walking in wearing a windbreaker and looking very cool. She hurriedly greeted him and said, “The Young Master fell asleep, shall I wake him up?”
“Oh, hehe, it’s fine, let him sleep.” The Bureau Chief knew that Hong Dali slept a lot. This fellow was lively most of the time, just that he slept a lot, requiring at least ten hours of sleep every day. If he played too long the previous day, it would be normal for him to sleep for twelve hours after that.
“Yup, OK.” Li Nianwei replied, put down the phone, looked at the Bureau Chief, smiled, and asked, “Bureau Chief, you have something to discuss with the Young Master?”
“Yes, the Holy Garments that I promised him are ready.” The Bureau Chief nodded and sat down. Then, he asked, “Oh right, Miss Nianwei, how is the filming with your ‘Holy Warriors of the Goddess’? I didn’t seem to hear any news about you recently.”
“It’s almost done.” Li Nianwei softly said, “The Young Master didn’t want me to be too tired, so the script was slightly altered. Currently, most of the shootings have been completed and only the post-editing is left. Sister Cai is in charge of this, I didn’t really ask her about it.”
“Holy Warriors of the Goddess” was claimed to be a blockbuster with a budget of 50 million. Although Hong Dali squandered in hundreds of millions nowadays, 50 million was still a large investment for a movie. It could really be considered to be unprecedented.
Of course, the reason why the Bureau Chief was concerned about this movie was that this movie would be pitted against a movie from Hollywood. This victory was involved with instilling faith in the filming industry, so he was quite concerned about it.
“Not bad.” The Bureau Chief nodded and asked, “Is the premiere date decided? Do you guys need me to help with the advertisement? I can make a call to the National Radio and Television Administration, it shouldn’t be a problem.” Although he spoke of it lightly, what was his identity? If he really called them, they would definitely use all their resources to advertise the movie.
However, Li Nianwei shook her head, smiled, and said, “Young Master hasn’t said what he intends to do yet, so there’s no need to rush. It isn’t suitable for me to make the decision for him. In fact, I don’t really know a lot about it. Young Master seemed to say that the premiere will be around September. As for the specific date, it hasn’t been decided yet.”
“OK, then just leave it as it is for now.” The Bureau Chief laughed and looked at Hong Dali with benevolent eyes. “This little rascal, to be honest, I quite envy him. He can just casually do whatever he wants to, I think he must be the happiest person in the entire world.”
How could Hong Dali not be happy? He could just happily squander every day and not have to worry about anything else. Anyone else in his shoes would be happy, too…
As they spoke up to this point, Hong Dali flipped his body in a daze and mumbled, “Sister Nianwei, who is it?”
“It’s the Bureau Chief, he’s here to see you for something.” Li Nianwei softly said, “Young Master, do you want to get up and take a look?”
“Uncle Chief is here?” Hearing that the Bureau Chief was here, Hong Dali was immediately invigorated. “Uncle Chief is here to make an exchange for my stuff again? This is good, this is good!”
The Bureau Chief didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. It was enough for Hong Dali to know this in his heart, but there wasn’t a need to speak it out loud in front of him…
“Little rascal.” The Bureau Chief angrily said, “Do you believe that I will invite you over for tea 1?”
If he threatened someone else with this, the person would probably be frightened. However, Hong Dali didn’t give any regard to his words. This rascal grinned and said, “Sure! Speaking of which, I really haven’t been to your place yet! Will you be providing lunch?”
Look at that, this fellow isn’t afraid of anything!
“Forget it. If I mess on with you, this old bones of mine will probably die from anger.” The Bureau Chief took out the detection device from his pocket and tossed it over to him. “This is a gift from my boss, the Prodigal Badge. Wear it.”
If he said that this thing was a luck detection device, Hong Dali would probably feel uncomfortable about it and not be willing to wear it. But if he said that this was a Prodigal Badge, this fellow would probably not suspect anything.
As expected, Hong Dali took the detection device which was made into a badge with a red string attached to it and happily wore it. “Oh my, Uncle Chief’s boss is so thoughtful. I’m even a little shy now… Then, I shall be wearing it.”
Seeing Hong Dali finally wear the device on his neck, the Bureau Chief gave a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, “You little rascal, you can get a badge through squandering, even I am jealous. Do you know that this small thing is akin to the Sword of State in ancient times, this gives you the right and power to kill before reporting!”
“I hate such rights and power.” Hong Dali twitched his lips. “I only like this thing because of its name. Uncle Chief, you don’t understand what being a prodigal is like!”
“Little rascal, do you believe that I will slap you to death!” The Bureau Chief felt that he really might be angered to death by Hong Dali today. “Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. The Holy Garments you asked for are ready. I have transported them to the warehouse in the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. Do you want to go take a look?”
“Oh oh, this is good!” Upon hearing that the Holy Garments were ready, Hong Dali’s eyes opened wide and said, “Uncle Chief, quick, bring me there!”
“I knew that you would definitely be very happy. Follow me.” The Bureau Chief smiled and instantly got up.
After they left the small conference room, Hong Dali waved his arms and gathered the rest. “Lackeys, assemble quick, we are leaving now!”
Upon hearing that they would be going out to play, everyone cheered. Very quickly, Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, Lin Chuyin, Ling Xiaoyi, and the nine lackeys were ready. Plus the Bureau Chief, the lot of them majestically moved out towards New Lanxiang Vocational School!
On the way there, Hong Dali and the Bureau Chief sat in the perfect-grade Granzon. Hong Dali took out a Dali Bean and said towards Quentin, “Quentin, here, eat one!”
Quentin: “Ahwoo!”
The Bureau Chief’s eyebrows twitched…
This Dali Bean was said to let animals grow larger, would this Quentin grow into a terrifying size in the future?
As he thought up to this point, Hong Dali suddenly said, “Oh right, Uncle Chief. I have a small matter that needs your help, hehe.”
“Oh? What is it? There’s still something that you can’t handle?” The Bureau Chief curiously asked, “With your current resources and manpower, you still need my help?”
“Yup, something like that. Actually, it’s because I am a bit lazy…” Hong Dali grinned and said, “Uncle Chief, will you help me or not?”
“OK, as long as it doesn’t go against my principles.” The Bureau Chief thought for a while and said, “Tell me what the matter is first.”
“It’s like this, there’s an assassin that came to assassinate me previously.” Hong Dali laughed and said, “Of course, he failed. I saw that he seemed quite smart and cautious, so I promised him something.”
“An assassin came for you?” The Bureau Chief was violently alarmed and asked, “Do you know what organization is he from? Did you ask?”
“I didn’t ask.” Hong Dali sniffled and said, “I just asked him how much the offer for my head was. He said it was 500 million, so I offered a billion to buy the head of the hirer. He agreed.”
“…” The Bureau Chief was dazed for a while and frantically said, “You really intend to spend a billion to buy the head of the hirer? The thing you promised him, don’t tell me it’s to fake his death so he can go kill the person with ease?”
God, I’m the leader of the National Security Bureau, after all. Should I help with this, should I help, or should I help?
“Yeah!” Hong Dali shamelessly admitted. “Also, you might need to help him create a new identity and also do plastic surgery so that he won’t be recognized…”
Bureau Chief: “…”
Alright, who said that this little rascal is an idiot? He’s practically smarter than a monkey! It’s important that the assassin has agreed to kill the hirer for a billion yuan, but the more important thing is that we can trace this assassin to Sand Eagle’s base! Even if we can’t locate their base, we can at least check if the hirer is indeed the Toyoda Conglomerate!
If it really was the Toyoda Conglomerate, hehe, things would be interesting!
“OK.” Although he had already decided to help in his heart, the Bureau Chief pretended to agree reluctantly and said, “Consider it a favor for you. Ask the assassin to contact me later, I will arrange the rest of the matters.”
…
The outer area of Tianjing Mountain, in a small secret room.
The mysterious man, which was the Bureau Chief’s boss, was sitting in this room. Beside him were his two guards and ten plus researchers. One of them was Dr. Ai Hui.
“Leader, according to the newest signal, the six cars which represent Hong Dali’s group are already near Tianjing Mountain, about ten kilometers or so from here.” Dr. Ai Hui looked at the images displayed on the monitor and said, “These six cars include Hong Dali’s own vehicle, the Granzon that he designed himself, Miss Chuyin’s Black Bat, and four Valsions.”
“This Hong Dali, every time he goes out he will make such a scene.” The mystery man smiled and asked, “How far more?”
“Once they come into the five-kilometer range, the signal will be very accurate.” Dr. Ai Hui answered.
“OK, good.” The mysterious man slowly nodded and said, “Let’s see if a miracle will happen today! According to the plan, Hong Dali should be already wearing the detection device. Once he comes into range, we shall start the detection.”
“OK!” The researchers instantly replied.
