Upon finishing reading the introduction of the safe house, Zhang Yi immediately selected the service items he desired.

Firstly, for the reinforcement of the entire house, the materials of his home would undergo a complete overhaul. The walls, ceiling, and floor would all be constructed with 100 - millimeter - thick steel plates. The window glass would be bullet - proof plexiglass.

Secondly, as for the ventilation system, an air - filtration system would be added throughout. No harmful gases would be able to infiltrate from the outside.

Finally, there would be a comprehensive surveillance system that could monitor both the interior and exterior of the house without any blind spots. And all the doors would be replaced with heavy - duty metal doors of the same quality as those in a bank vault, which would be extremely difficult to blast open even with explosives.

In short, Zhang Yi had only one requirement - to transform his house into an impregnable fortress that no one could invade.

After ticking these options, Zhang Yi handed the computer to Wu Huairen.

After reading it, Wu Huairen couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment. A house of merely 120 square meters was being fortified to be as solid as an iron drum.

"With weapons added, this would be like a large - scale fortress!" Wu Huairen muttered to himself.

Hearing these words, Zhang Yi's eyes sparkled.

"Oh, do you have an understanding of fortresses?"

Wu Huairen chuckled. "I used to be a mercenary abroad, and I'm thoroughly familiar with military - related knowledge."

A flash of inspiration struck Zhang Yi's mind.

Suddenly, he lowered his voice and said to Wu Huairen, "Then, do you have a way to obtain guns?"

This question immediately made Wu Huairen's expression turn solemn. In China, private ownership of firearms is prohibited.

"Mr. Zhang, you should understand that, in principle, such items are not allowed for private ownership," Wu Huairen also said in a low voice.

"Have you encountered some terrifying enemies, making you so fearful?"

Zhang Yi took this opportunity to fabricate a story.

"Yes. I've offended some underworld figures. They are extremely ruthless and possess guns."

"I was just thinking if I could also get some guns for self - defense. Otherwise, just hiding in the house and being at their mercy isn't a solution."

Wu Huairen smiled wryly. "Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid I can't assist you with this. We are a legitimate company."

However, from Wu Huairen's eyes, Zhang Yi could sense that it wasn't that he couldn't obtain guns, but that he was reluctant to get involved in this murky business.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath.

Then he said to Wu Huairen, "The safe house project I'm having you build costs over eight million. If something still goes wrong with me later, it won't be good for your company's reputation either."

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

He stared at Wu Huairen and said, word by word, "I just want something for self - defense. If you can help me with this, I won't treat you unfairly."

Wu Huairen remained silent, frowning as he weighed the matter.

He did have connections.

However, he didn't know Zhang Yi's background, so he certainly didn't dare to readily make an introduction for him.

"Please go back first. Although I can't handle this matter, I can make some inquiries for you. If there's any news, I'll contact you."

Wu Huairen was clearly undecided for the moment.

Nevertheless, Zhang Yi didn't push too hard. Guns were indeed something that required great caution.

He smiled and said, "Okay. I'll wait for your news."

"By the way, I'm in a great hurry regarding this matter. Please come and build the safe house for me as soon as possible."

Wu Huairen said, "It will take at most half a month to complete the construction for you."

After finalizing the discussion with Wu Huairen, Zhang Yi signed the contract on the spot.

Also, he paid a deposit of one million yuan.

As for the remaining balance, well, there would be no chance of paying it in this lifetime.

After leaving the Zhanlong Security Company, the housing issue was basically resolved.

Next, Zhang Yi returned to his car and called an acquaintance, Liu Yang.

Liu Yang ran a hunting ground in Tianhai City. He had leased several hundred mu of land in Xishan and stocked it with various harmless small animals. On normal days, people could enter to hunt for entertainment.

He had many crossbows, compound bows, and air guns obtained through legal channels.

Zhang Yi had visited and played there several times before, so he had Liu Yang's contact information.

He called Liu Yang to ask him to purchase a batch for him and offered to pay a premium.

Liu Yang was a businessman, and besides, there were times when he needed Zhang Yi's help, so he readily agreed to this request.

"Brother Zhang, what are you buying so many weapons for? These things can only be used for hunting or for personal amusement. They mustn't be used to harm people!" Liu Yang asked with a smile, yet there was a tinge of caution in his words.

After all, the items were being sold by him.

In case Zhang Yi used these weapons to hurt someone later, he would also be in trouble.

Of course, someone who could open a hunting ground in Tianhai City naturally had some background.

But he didn't need to take risks for Zhang Yi, just an ordinary friend.

Zhang Yi laughed heartily. "You're overthinking it! I've invited some friends, and we'll go hunting in an African wildlife park in a while. So I need more equipment!"

Liu Yang clicked his tongue twice. "Oh ho, Brother Zhang, you really know how to have a good time! But there are plenty of lions and hyenas in Africa. Be careful!"

"Yeah, yeah. Then it's settled. How long will it take to get the stuff ready for me?"

"Hey, I have them in stock. You can come and pick them up whenever you're free."

Zhang Yi didn't waste any time and immediately drove to the Xishan Hunting Ground to buy the items and bring them back.

For him, time was of the utmost value at present, and not a single moment could be squandered.

He purchased five high - quality steel crossbows, three advanced compound bows, three hundred arrows and three hundred bolts respectively.

In addition, he also bought two excellent hunting knives.

These were crafted from Damascus steel, extremely tough and sharp, and would be extremely difficult to damage unless used to chop hard objects continuously for a long period.

These items filled the entire trunk.

Looking at this large pile of equipment, Zhang Yi felt a profound sense of security in his heart.

He drove the car full of equipment back home.

Since they were all purchased through regular channels, and he himself had obtained a hunting license for recreational purposes before, he wasn't worried about being questioned by the police.

By the time he got home, it was already dusk.

Zhang Yi went out again and had a sumptuous and enjoyable hot pot meal alone at Haidilao.

Thinking that he would have to make hot pot by himself in the future, he immediately paid to order 10,000 packets of hot pot base from Haidilao.

The waiters at Haidilao were shocked, thinking that Zhang Yi was someone from a rival business coming to cause trouble.

Fortunately, the service at Haidilao was relatively good, so they didn't turn hostile towards Zhang Yi directly.

Later, the store manager came over, asked Zhang Yi some questions, and then accepted the order.

However, the condition was cash payment to prevent Zhang Yi from being someone from a rival business causing sabotage.

Zhang Yi was very straightforward and paid over a million yuan on the spot.

Such a generous gesture made the store manager beam with joy, and he even gave Zhang Yi an additional 500 packets as a bonus.
