Looking at Shen Qiang's smile, Hao Deben raised an eyebrow and said, "Shen Qiang, listen to me, I'm not afraid of you, and I definitely won't give you the money. I won't endlessly do things for you either, but I can promise you this, just leave now, and I'll do one thing for each of you in the future."

"I think you should understand how precious my promise is, because as long as the internet exists, I am almost omnipotent."

Looking at the very serious Hao Deben, Shen Qiang said, "Put away your pride. What you're saying is just bullshit to me. You know it yourself, network technology is updating every day, no one can evade the law forever. Follow me, and I'll give you a chance to start over. If you refuse, and you think with your little smarts you can do whatever you want, I guarantee you'll end up in prison, regretting your life."

Hao Deben was silent for a long time, then he said very seriously, "No, I need the money to fulfill my parents' dreams. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't do this at all."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Do you want to kneel and beg me to let you off, and tell me about your family overhead, about your aged mother with snow-white hair and all that?"

Hao Deben was silent, then angrily said, "Shen Qiang, don't act like this in front of me. I just want to tell you that my parents have been workers all their lives. They do the hardest, most tiring jobs in the factory and earn the least, with the smallest bonuses. Their dream is just to become a small manager in the factory, and they would be completely satisfied with that."

"So, I want to use this money to bribe their leaders, let them hold their heads high!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang couldn't help but laugh, "Are you sure what you're doing is meaningful?"

"It's their dream, of course it's meaningful!" Hao Deben said desperately.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Don't lie to yourself. You know that they have been workers for decades and never got promoted. The only reason is that they are not suited for management. If they really had what it takes, how could they not have been promoted in decades?"

"That's my parents' business, it's not your place to comment!" Hao Deben said sharply.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Don't show off the lower limit of your IQ in front of me. I can tell you clearly, your parents might always complain at home, saying if they could become managers, things would be different, but in reality, once they become managers, they will change. Because the point of view is different, the way of thinking about problems will also be different."

"Moreover, the most important issue is that you have to understand, your parents' dream is not about what they become but about their hopes for you to stand out, get married, have children, and live a happy life, not taking the same old path they did."

"So listen carefully, Hao Deben."

Leaning casually against the computer desk, Shen Qiang said, "If you don't hand over the money and refuse to work with me, then you're finished. Your parents will find out that their son they were so proud of has been sentenced to life imprisonment, will never be able to come out, he won't be able to create a family, and can't even live like a normal person. Wherever he goes, people will mock them for raising a criminal."

"But if you're smart and follow me from now on, you'll find your life has changed."

"I own a cyber security company, so I can offer you a real good job, like... a Chief Technical Officer, with an annual salary of a million dollars, unlimited glory. All income would be legal, and you'll marry a wife even prettier than the women you see in those movies."

"You can buy houses in any city you want to settle in, you can take your parents traveling anywhere, you would truly become their pride, and all your relatives and friends will envy you. When they see your parents, they will praise them for having such a good son."

"But if you choose to refuse me, then the only outcome for you is to spend a humble life in prison, dimming the light of their lives as well."

Looking at Shen Qiang, Hao Deben said, "Shen Qiang, are you serious?"

"Answer my question, will you hand over the money? Will you follow me? Just answer directly, don't waste too much of my time."

Hao Deben hesitated for a moment and said, "You won't deceive me? You're really going to hire me as the Chief Technical Officer, with an annual salary of a million dollars?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "If you perform well, not only these."

"As long as I follow you, she won't catch me? She won't go to the authorities? Should I believe you?" Hao Deben looked at Xiu Ju, somewhat nervously.

Shen Qiang laughed, pulled Xiu Ju into his embrace, and said with a smile, "Don't you understand yet? She is my woman. If I don't let her speak, she won't say a thing."

Seeing the intimacy between the two,

Hao Deben immediately nodded, "Alright, no problem, but you have to guarantee that the things I did before will never be known to anyone."

Shen Qiang laughed, "As long as you remain loyal to me and obedient, then no one will ever know."

"Okay, boss, when can I start working?" Hao Deben looked at Shen Qiang with bright eyes, "Also, could you make me a copy of the Dragon Clan system?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Call me boss. As for the system, maybe I will give it to you later, but at least not until you have proven your reliability and value."

Hao Deben nodded.

Then Shen Qiang gave Hao Deben his bank card number and said, "I want to see the money now."

Hao Deben was silent for a full five seconds, then picked up the laptop and began the bank transfer.

Xiu Ju frowned and voiced her concern, "Shen Qiang, do you really need to force him to pay? This might make him resent you."

"If he doesn't hand over the money, how do I know if he's just bluffing?" Shen Qiang replied through voice transmission.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qiang's phone began to beep with message alerts, one after another, making his eyes shine brighter and brighter.

After receiving a hundred or so payment notifications,

Shen Qiang looked on with delight as his bank account indeed increased by thirty million US dollars.

This made Shen Qiang very satisfied.

But then, Shen Qiang frowned, "You haven't touched this money?"

Hao Deben replied, "I haven't had the chance yet."

Shen Qiang was surprised, "What else have you been doing? Your daily expenses definitely can't be covered by the living allowance your parents give you."

Hao Deben was taken aback, then incredulously raised an eyebrow, "You two came after me for my spending habits?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Yes, because I think your spending is beyond your means, so that's why I came looking for you."

With a resigned look and a wry smile, Hao Deben said, "I get it now, you two really don't understand me at all."

With that, Hao Deben stood up, took Shen Qiang and Xiu Ju to the next room, and pointing to a whole row of computers, he said, "I've set up an online gaming gold farming studio, with a pure profit of more than 20,000 a month, so I can totally afford my expenses."
