“Check your personal belongings, open your bags so I can take a look.”

After establishing authority, most of them realized the reality. Here, if you don’t obey, getting a beating is minor; losing your life is major.

When Li Xiang was checking a woman’s bag, there was still a headstrong and naive woman, with a lack of common sense, unable to see the reality, who snatched her bag from Li Xiang’s hand and said to him, “Aren’t you Chinese? Overseas, we should help each other. Why bully your own people? You guys should reimburse my airfare. I must leave here today.”

Li Xiang frowned and said, “Now that you’re here, you can’t leave. You’re bought by the park, equivalent to park assets, so stop thinking about running away. Cooperate a bit, and you’ll get fewer beatings.”

“At worst, you don’t have to reimburse my airfare. Just let me leave on my own, okay?”

Li Xiang thought she was being incredibly foolish. At this point, she still wouldn’t cooperate. He felt a bit helpless, with so many eyes watching him, wanting to see how he would deal with this thorny woman. He was having a headache until he happened to notice Gangzi whining not far away, giving him an idea. He grabbed an electric baton and tested the voltage on Gangzi.

There was a sizzling sound, and Gangzi let out a miserable cry, “Ah~”

Li Xiang, with his keen sense of smell, already detected the odor of burnt flesh.

“I’m being obedient, why shock me?”

“Still daring to talk back?”

Li Xiang gave another zap.

“Stop it, I’ll behave.”

“This little fellow is interesting.”

Bai Jie watched this and chuckled, covering her mouth.

After zapping Gangzi, Li Xiang held the electric baton up to the woman and said, “Wanna try? It tastes like chicken, crispy and crunchy.”

The woman shook her head vigorously, shrinking back, never mentioning the airfare again.

Li Xiang didn’t want to zap a fellow national, so he used Gangzi as a warning to others.

Seeing her cooperation, Li Xiang checked the woman’s personal items. Besides some cosmetics, there were some large band-aids. The woman, seeing the thorough inspection, blushed with embarrassment but dared not speak, only hung her head in silence.

“Report to Manager Wen, nothing was wrong, and all contraband has been confiscated.”

“Then take her down for training. Make sure they memorize the park’s management rules. From now on, everything about you belongs to the park.”

Li Xiang and the others herded these people, segregated by gender, to the small warehouse he had visited before, just like herding sheep.

These individuals had to undergo the so-called park training before they were tamed.

Upon reaching the small warehouse, Brother Wen began making everyone do squats and push-ups.

In short, he aimed to exhaust these people to the fullest.

And Li Xiang and the others acted as enforcers, zapping anyone who disobeyed or refused to do the physical exercises.

Fortunately, after the initial show of force, most of them didn’t dare resist and accepted the reality, following Manager Wen’s orders to do physical training.

“There are a few rules in the park. First, no escaping. The consequences of attempting escape are severe; best case, you end up crippled; worst case, you end up dead. If you don’t believe me, you can try. Second, when you go to the electric smash department, you cannot download anything from the computers. If I find out, you’ll be locked in the dark cell for three days. Third, you can’t let customers deposit money into personal accounts. Money is the park’s bottom line. Anyone who tries anything funny will, at best, end up in the dark cell, and at worst, in the Water Prison. Fourth, you absolutely cannot betray the park. This is a red line, and even the gods can’t save you if you cross it.”

Brother Wen led everyone through physical training as he established the rules and drilled them into the newcomers’ heads repeatedly.

In the sweltering heat, with no air conditioning, these people quickly became drenched in sweat and collapsed from exhaustion.

“That’s it for today. Daozi, you keep an eye on them. Gangzi, come out.”

Upon hearing Brother Wen call him, Li Xiang followed him out.

“Brother Wen, what do you need me for?”

“Have you adapted after being here for so many days?”

“Adaptation isn’t a problem; it’s just that without a phone, I can’t contact my sister. Frankly, I’m quite worried about her.”

“Don’t rush the phone situation. Use mine for now to call your sister.”

“Thank you, Brother Wen.”

Taking the phone, Li Xiang called Yang Ming, “Xiao Ming, how’s my sister now, and how much money is left?”

“Shao Han’s condition is stable for now. We’ve returned home, so don’t worry. However, the doctor said her recovery will require a lot of money.”

“I’ll figure out the money part, but please take care of my sister.”

Just as Li Xiang was about to hang up, Yang Ming said in a low voice, “Gangzi, wait a sec. Are you able to speak freely?”

Hearing this, Li Xiang glanced at Brother Wen, feeling a bit anxious. Didn’t this idiot know it was Brother Wen’s phone?

Asking if the conversation was convenient? Obviously, it wasn’t.

However, upon further thought, Yang Ming probably wouldn’t make such a mistake, so he put the call on speaker and said, “Yes, I can talk, go ahead.”

Brother Wen, satisfied with Li Xiang’s response and actions, listened carefully.

“You should find a way to return quickly. The police came to see me the day before yesterday, asking about you. They said if I had any information, I should let you know to return from MiaoWaDi to cooperate with their investigation. Otherwise, they’ll list you as a fugitive online. Hurry back.”

“How did they know I was in MiaoWaDi? Did you guys tell them?”

“How could it be us? The police just came and asked if we recently returned from MiaoWaDi. It’s like they already knew.”

“There’s too much money needed for my sister’s treatment, so I can’t return yet. Just make sure you take good care of her no matter what.”

Li Xiang hung up and handed the phone back to Brother Wen, saying, “Did you leak my identity, Brother Wen?”

“Ah~” Brother Wen patted his forehead and said with a regretful tone, “That was my oversight. I didn’t tell you earlier that inside the park, no one uses their real name. Everyone has a nickname to prevent the authorities from identifying us and putting us on the wanted list. We don’t know if there’s a mole within the park, so everyone is cautious. You were quite noticeable from the start and used your real name, so no wonder.”

Li Xiang couldn’t tell if Brother Wen genuinely forgot or did this deliberately, but he was certain it was a sinister ploy of the park.

By cutting off his way back home, he had no choice but to stay here faithfully and work for them.

It was truly malicious.

Yang Ming’s message had two purposes: first, to let them drive Shao Gang into a corner completely, making it easier for people from CC Park to trust him.

Second, to warn him to be cautious, since in this line of work in MiaoWaDi, no one is decent; they are all heartless.

“Brother Wen, it’s not your fault. I’ve already lost any retreat path, and my sister’s subsequent treatment will cost a lot. Please don’t deceive me.”

“Rest assured, I won’t deceive you. On the field today, I called you out to teach Gangzi a lesson because I wanted you to establish authority in front of others. Once you earn a reputation, I’ll promote you to team leader, and then your salary can double.”

“Double? It’s still far from the annual salary of one million you mentioned before, only twenty-four thousand a year.”

Li Xiang frowned. They initially promised a million annual salary, but now it’s only ten thousand a month, and even that is a stretch.

“Don’t rush. Meals are eaten bite by bite, and roads are walked step by step. Compared to them, you don’t realize how much luckier you are. In our country, what job can earn you a twenty thousand monthly salary? Here, twenty thousand is just the beginning.”

Indeed, these electric smash people have a way with words, and after hearing this, Li Xiang found their reasoning quite convincing.

Had it not been for the earlier incident, he might have almost believed it.

In this business, after a while, not a word from their mouths is true.
