"No, we have to get rid of it. It would be a big problem if someone found out!"
After a few minutes, Niu Bi came to his senses and pondered what to do. Throwing it into the Huangpu River was not an option because there were many people on the street.
Where should we hide it?
Niu Bi looked around, searching for a place to hide the corpse.
Hardoon's courtyard was quite large, with ornamental trees and a small pond of unknown depth containing artificial hills and goldfish.
"Got it! Sink it to the bottom of the pond!"
Niu Bi looked at the pond, and a thought struck him.
The owner rarely returns; hiding in the pond is a temporary measure.
Thinking of this, Niu Bi dragged the rickshaw puller into the ornamental trees to hide him, and then returned to reality to find the wire.
He had inquired before and learned that the housekeeper who cleaned the Hardoon family usually came once a month. The garden was currently quite clean, so it was clear that he had come a few days ago and would not be coming again anytime soon.
Half an hour later, Niu Bi returned to Hardoon's garden with a large bundle of thick iron wire, each about the thickness of a toothpick.
Niu Bi came to the ornamental trees and, as he pulled the rickshaw puller, noticed a bulge at the puller's waist. He lifted the puller's clothes and saw a handwritten copy. "Hmm, a tracking notes?"
"No wonder I couldn't spot this person; he's a master of concealment and tracking!"
Niu Bi was secretly alarmed. Fortunately, he had a teleportation portal and disappeared from the spot when the man climbed over the wall!
Otherwise, this person might have actually found and eaten us.
Putting away his tracking notes, Niu Bi gently tied the rickshaw driver up like a dumpling, then attached a large stone to him before throwing him into the small pond. Watching the rickshaw driver slowly sink, a weight was finally lifted from Niu Bi's heart.
"Finally, I don't have to worry about the portal being exposed anymore. I'll have to be even more careful from now on!"
......
"Looks like we'll have to get some self-defense items!"
The rickshaw driver incident served as a reminder to Niu Bi that the world in Shanghai was not peaceful, and many people had lost their livelihoods and had no choice but to take crooked paths. For his own safety, he had to be cautious in everything he did.
I got a six-shot Mauser pistol from the rickshaw puller, but it was out of bullets and not very useful.
He remembered that there was a Qingshan X8 ultra-high voltage self-defense large electric shock baton and a long-range electric shock gun on JD.com. He immediately returned to the shuttle gate along Hardong's courtyard and ordered two of each online for self-defense.
......
On the north side of Dongchang Road, there is a relatively large watch shop.
The owner of Huaxin Watch Shop, surnamed Fang, was as shocked as he expected when he saw the mechanical watches brought by Niu Bi. After some bargaining, he sold them to Niu Bi for 45 silver dollars each, and received 38 gold bars and 20 silver dollars in return.

......
“Mr. Niu, the Western watch you brought is a very novel style, and I am very interested in it. If you can continue to supply my Huaxin Watch Shop, we can establish a long-term cooperative relationship.”
After handing over the gold bars to Niu Bi, Manager Fang's eyes gleamed with the shrewdness typical of a businessman.
"Okay! No problem, no problem!"
Niu Bi shook hands with Manager Fang, smiling and nodding.
No way there's no problem! Your Big Brother Niu is always hitting and moving on!
“Mr. Niu, S Beach is not safe. I think you should bring bodyguards with you since you travel between overseas and China frequently.”
The shopkeeper seemed to sense Niu Bi's insincerity and said meaningfully, "I started as an apprentice and have been running Huaxin Watch Shop for 18 years. I understand that integrity is the key to making money, unlike ordinary, short-sighted shopkeepers. Mr. Niu can rest assured that you can cooperate with me!"
"good!"
Niu Bi was taken aback, but immediately nodded and tried to reason with Manager Fang, though he was wondering whether he should trust him.
Just as Niu Bi stepped out of the shop, a young man carrying a toolbox walked in.
The young man, about twenty years old, with delicate features, wore a faded short-sleeved shirt and handed a small bag to Manager Fang. "Manager, the Lin family's clock is repaired. Here is the repair fee."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Zikun. Go and take a rest." Manager Fang replied from behind the counter and took the small bag.
"Why does this young man look so much like the movie star Chen Kun?"
Upon seeing the young man, Niu Bi paused in his tracks. The young man looked exactly like Chen Kun in real life—his hairstyle, his eyes, and his lips were exactly like Chen Kun's.
Moreover, it seems the shopkeeper called him 'Zikun'.
"What a coincidence! To run into someone who looks so much like Chen Kun here!"
Niu Bi sighed for a moment, then shook his head. "Who cares? Making money is the most important thing!"
He's not a die-hard fan; he's only heard of Chen Kun. Right now, all he wants to do is resell more products; making money is his top priority.
With a few more lighters and mechanical watches, you could buy your dream house in real life!
With that in mind, he headed straight to a small shop on the east side of Dongchang Road, cashed out the 100 lighters he had, and carefully made his way back to the shuttle door, afraid of encountering another follower like Zhang Wangcai.
Back in reality, Niu Bi still subconsciously recalled the scene at the watch shop, so he immediately took out his phone and searched it on Baidu.
Chen Zikun.
