Chapter 1 Am I being targeted by the FBI?
"Zishu - Li, male, 22 years old, height 173 cm, weight 65 kg, graduated from , currently working part-time at a Jinshan Stanford fast food restaurant, excellent academic performance, no dating experience, no criminal record, introverted and conservative, has never disclosed his family situation to classmates or friends.
Yuanhang - Li, a Chinese entrepreneur in Sanluodu, chairman of Zhiyuan Group, owns a large number of assets and enterprises including docks, shipping, restaurants, and logistics. He died of a sudden heart attack yesterday afternoon. Zhiyuan in Sanluodu is currently in an unstable condition.
According to analysts' predictions, Zhiyuan will be in chaos without a leader, and may even trigger a series of crises."
A middle-aged Latino man pointed at the projection and began to explain, surrounded by a group of foreigners with serious expressions.
One of the gray-haired old men clasped his hands together and pursed his lips tightly, seeming a little worried!
“Bob, tell me about the analysts’ forecasts!”
Hearing the old man's words, the Latino man nodded and picked up a document on the table.
"The Zhiyuan Hall has occupied San Lorenzo's Chinatown for over 80 years. Starting with the first generation, Zhiyuan Li, it has been the most powerful figure in the Chinese community on the West Coast. Now, after two generations, it has become stable and is one of the largest families in San Lorenzo.
Because of Zhiyuan's instability, a new round of struggle will be launched among the Chinese. In addition, Zhiyuan also owns a large amount of territory in Saint-Lodu, which will cause instability among foreign forces. The famous White Devil among the White Russians has begun to recruit people, targeting the Saint-Lodu County Industrial Zone under the other party.
We've also received intel that some within Zhiyuan have begun crossing the line and engaging frequently with the Bay Area Cartel. This will trigger a series of problems. After all, San Lorenzo is a traditional sales market for the Siloam Cartel. If nothing unexpected happens, it will trigger a new round of war between the Old Mexico Cartel!"
The old man loosened his hands, rubbed his temples, and pointed at the young man in the picture. "He is the only heir and the future leader of the Chinese in Saint Luodu. Keep an eye on him. He is the center of the storm now!"
The weather on the west coast was very sunny, the sun was shining brightly, the air was moist, and it felt a bit stuffy. Li Zishu left the apartment and did not go to work. He walked quietly on the beach, feeling the atmosphere of a foreign country.
Looking at the calm sea, Li Zishu stretched out his hand to let his skin feel the moist sea breeze, feeling a bit helpless and excited.
He is a time traveler.
He had just traveled to this place similar to his previous life three days ago. This year is the beginning of 2021, and the pneumonia in his memory did not appear, which made him a little confused about the advantages of time travelers.
The times are too close, there are no similarities in details, and there is no information gap. Don't expect to buy the World Cup, and don't expect to invest in futures and stocks. The system cheat that is a benefit of time travel has not been activated, which makes him a little disappointed with his time travel.
Fortunately, this man named Li Zishu came from a wealthy family and owned assets in Saint-Lo. He was a fourth-generation rich man, so he saved himself the trouble of twenty years of hard work.
The owner of this body should have died of a sudden heart attack. After traveling through time, he roughly learned some of the situation through the other party's online information and brief chat records.
"Fortunately, I don't have to worry about not being able to buy a house! The relaxed and happy life is finally about to begin." Li Zishu smiled self-deprecatingly and walked along the beach.
I accidentally saw a black youth taking out a bag and handing it to a white man not far away. The other person stuffed a US dollar into the black man's hand and waved away.
Is this the United States? Li Zishu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He felt a little uncomfortable with such blatant behavior.
[Heavenly Justice activated, host witnessed a crime, please fight! ]
System? Do you have a system yourself? Justice from heaven? Are you sure this is a system for ordinary people? Don't you, the System Management Bureau, conduct any research before arranging projects?
You want me to go fishing, or farm, or even just stream live at home, but you want me to bring justice to America? Fight crime? I'm not Batman!
Then shouldn't I become a police officer? That would be reasonable, right?
Li Zishu was struggling, and the black man not far away seemed to feel his gaze. He immediately looked over and gave Li Zishu the middle finger. Seeing that he was a Chinese, he even pulled his clothes.
Trash, he only dares to bully Chinese people. Li Zishu saw that the other party had a shotgun on his waist.
What do I do now? Should I go up and do what's right? And then I get shot twice. This isn't like encountering a thief on the subway in my previous life! This is the beautiful country where guns are rampant!
[Host, please fight crime and receive rewards. Choose from 1: Physical Enhancement, improving your physical fitness, or 2: Combat Expertise. Choose one! The higher your level of crime fighting, the more random rewards you'll receive from a fixed lottery. Please fight!]
System, what the hell? You want me to fight someone with a gun with my bare hands?
I just came here. Do you think I've lived too long?
Li Zishu lowered his head and planned to leave first. System, please at least give me a novice gift package. It’s nothing, and you want me to die?
Or just make a strategic retreat and call 911.
Walking away from the other side, Li Zishu sighed. "If I could be a superhero, I would want to be one too, but you'd have to give me some superpowers. What do I have?"
"How about I take the exam to become a police officer?" Li Zishu thought about it. After graduation, he would be doing odd jobs anyway, so he might as well find a stable job. Didn't he already have a system?
Maybe you can even get a promotion and a raise, reach the peak of your life, become a crime nemesis, and run for president in the future?
"Boss, I finally found you!"
A low voice broke Li Zishu's plan.
When he looked up, he saw five Mercedes-Benz parked on the side of the road. A group of men in black suits got out of the cars. They were all Chinese, and each of them had a uniform tattoo on his wrist - Zhiyuan!
Li Zishu subconsciously shrank his neck. It was obvious that the man was not a good person, so he stayed away from him.
"Boss, where are you going? Lawyer Xu asked me to take you back to Saint-Lodu!"
A scarred man walked towards Li Zishu. He had a tall body and strong muscles. A tattoo of a Marine could be seen below his neck.
"Are you talking to me?" Li Zishu was a little confused. Did this person know him?
"Of course, the old man is gone, and now the company is waiting for you to return and take the lead. You are now the boss of Zhiyuan Group, the leader of Zhiyuan Hall, and the pillar ! You are the sole heir to the Shengluodu Li family and the leader of the family!"
Can you say that again?
What am I? Don't think I didn't hear you. Dragon Head? Zhiyuan Hall?
Is this the identity that a legitimate company boss should have?
I originally wanted to be a police officer, cooperate with the system to become a crime-fighter and avenger, and satisfy my superhero addiction. But now, everything has gone down the drain!
Fight crime from yourself!
The system obtained by a family leader like me is actually justice from heaven?
Do you want me to turn myself in? The reward should be very generous!
"Are you kidding me?" Li Zishu's face was full of confusion. He didn't know much about his family. After all, he didn't inherit the memory of the owner of this body.
"Do you think I'm kidding? You're not safe out there alone. Many clans are watching you. Your family is unstable now, facing internal and external troubles. There's a fight for resources within, and major external forces are eyeing you covetously. Even the FBI is monitoring your every move!"
Li Zishu's heart skipped a beat. No way, the FBI is already targeting me right from the start? You can give me a green tea breakup opening, but I don't have experience with big boss openings!
"Can we practice democracy and elect another person?" Li Zishu's heart tightened. This start felt like he would either be shot or go to jail!
"You're such a joke!" The scarred man was at a loss for words. Was it just a matter of choosing? Two generations of the Li family had dominated Saint Luodu. Could anyone else replace that prestige?
I was just about to say, why don't you guys come up with a joint meeting system? I still have to take the police officer exam, otherwise the system will be useless. You let me be the boss, am I going to beat myself up?
Li Zishu's phone rang. When he picked it up, he saw it was an unfamiliar number.
As soon as the call was connected, a very attractive voice came from the other end.
"Hello, Li. I'm Stephen from the FBI branch in San Lorenzo. No matter what you decide to do next, please exercise restraint. What San Lorenzo needs right now is peace, not blood and fire. If you go against God's will, many people will want to send you to see Him. Including me!"
Also, you'd better keep a close eye on the family and don't let anyone do something stupid and against the rules.
I hope you are doing well. This is advice and blessing from a friend! "
"..." Li Zishu was speechless holding the phone. It was actually the FBI calling. He was warned by the FBI director at the very beginning. What a wonderful start!
Many people want to send him to see God? Even the white way is watching him. His subordinates are restless, and the system he gives him is still justice from heaven, but he is the boss.
Oh my god! I felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff, my life was in danger.
"Let's go, boss. It's time to get on the plane. The family will hold a meeting tomorrow to confirm your status as the heir. From tomorrow on , you will be the new generation of family leader."
"..." Li Zishu almost felt dizzy. So fast? He didn't even have time to adjust! So many movies had taught him the same truth: newly appointed clan leaders either died or were captured; none of them had a good ending.
After saying this, Scarface bowed to Li Zishu and said, "Please go home, boss!"
"Please ask the boss to go home!"
Suddenly, more than a dozen men in black suits bent down with serious expressions on their faces, and there was a strange look in their eyes.
People passing by subconsciously turned their heads to look over here with a hint of fear on their faces, and some even chose to stay away.
Everyone looked at the unremarkable young man in front of them in surprise. He was actually a boss, and an extraordinary boss at that.
Turning his head, Li Zishu saw the black youth who was also looking at him strangely. Then he saw that the other party had a look of horror on his face. He turned around and ran, shouting as he ran.
"I'm sorry, it was a misunderstanding! Please forgive me!"
