purchase equipment.

After reading the introduction to the safe house services, Zhang Yi immediately selected his desired service options.

Firstly, he chose to reinforce the entire house by replacing all the materials. The walls, ceilings, and floors would be replaced with a 200mm thick alloy material. This aerospace material weighed only one-third of steel but had ten times the strength of stainless steel. Using this material to construct the safe house would seamlessly integrate it into the building where Zhang Yi resided without causing any structural overload issues.

For the windows, he opted for the best bulletproof glass available in the world.

Next was the installation of a ventilation system equipped with air filtration capabilities, preventing any harmful gases from entering from the outside.

Lastly, there was a complete surveillance system that offered comprehensive monitoring both inside and outside the house. The doors would be replaced with heavy-duty, bank-vault-grade anti-theft doors that were extremely difficult to breach even with small explosives.

In short, Zhang Yi's sole requirement was to transform his house into an impenetrable fortress.

After selecting these options, Zhang Yi handed the tablet back to Wu Huairen.

Wu Huairen, after reading through the selections, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

A house with only 120 square meters turned into a fortress-like structure.

"With the addition of weapons, this is simply a stronghold!" Wu Huairen murmured.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi's eyes flickered.

"Oh, so you have knowledge about strongholds?" Zhang Yi asked.

Wu Huairen chuckled, "I used to work as a mercenary overseas, so I'm well-versed in military and weaponry knowledge."

A spark of inspiration flashed through Zhang Yi's mind.

He suddenly lowered his voice and said to Wu Huairen, "Do you have a way to obtain guns?"

This sentence made Wu Huairen's expression turn serious as well.

In China, private ownership of firearms is not allowed.

"Mr. Zhang, you should understand that, in principle, it is not allowed for individuals to possess such things," Wu Huairen also whispered.

"Have you encountered some terrifying enemies that make you so afraid?" Zhang Yi took advantage of the situation.

"That's right, I have offended some people in the underworld. They are ruthless and they have guns," Zhang Yi said.

"I was thinking, maybe I can get some guns for self-defense. Otherwise, I can only hide in the house and take a beating, which is not ideal!"

Wu Huairen chuckled, "Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid I can't help you with that. We are a legitimate company."

However, from Wu Huairen's eyes, Zhang Yi could tell that it wasn't that he couldn't get guns, but rather that he didn't want to get involved in such matters.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath.

Then he said to Wu Huairen, "This safe house project I'm undertaking will cost over 8 million. If I encounter any problems later on, it won't reflect well on your company."

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

Wu Huairen didn't say anything. He furrowed his brows, weighing the matter.

He naturally had connections, but he didn't know Zhang Yi's background, so he didn't dare to easily introduce him to those connections.

"You can go back for now. Although I can't handle this matter myself, I can inquire about it for you. If there is any news, I will contact you," Wu Huairen said.

Wu Huairen clearly couldn't make up his mind at the moment.

But Zhang Yi didn't press him too hard. Guns were indeed something that required caution.

He smiled and said, "Alright, I'll wait for your message."

"By the way, I'm in a hurry for this matter, so please help me create the safe house as soon as possible," Zhang Yi said.

Wu Huairen replied, "Within two weeks, we can have it completed for you."

After discussing with Wu Huairen, Zhang Yi immediately signed the contract on the spot.

Similarly, he paid a deposit of 1 million yuan.

As for the remaining balance, he would never have the chance to pay it in this lifetime.

Leaving Zhanlong Security Company, the issue of accommodation 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 hundreds of acres of land in Xishan, where harmless small animals were kept for recreational hunting.

He had a variety of legally obtained crossbows, compound bows, and air rifles in his possession.

Zhang Yi had visited a few times before, so he had Liu Yang's contact information.

He called Liu Yang to ask him to purchase a batch of equipment and offered to buy them at a premium.

Liu Yang was a businessman, and they had helped each other out before, so he easily agreed to the request.

"Zhang Ge, why do you need so many weapons? These things can only be used for hunting or personal entertainment. You can't use them to harm others!" Liu Yang asked with a smile, but his words carried a hint of caution.

After all, the items would be sold by him.

If Zhang Yi were to harm someone with these weapons, it would cause trouble for both of them.

Of course, as someone who could operate a hunting ground in Tianhai City, Liu Yang naturally had connections.

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

Zhang Yi laughed and casually came up with a reason, "You're overthinking! I made plans with a few friends to visit a wildlife park in Africa for hunting. So, I need some extra equipment!"

Liu Yang exclaimed, "Oh, Zhang Ge, you really know how to have fun! But be careful, Africa has many lions and hyenas. Stay safe!"

"Mhm, that's settled then. How soon can you have the items ready for me?" Zhang Yi asked.

"Hey, I already have them on hand. Just come over whenever you're free to pick them up," Liu Yang replied.

Zhang Yi wasted no time and immediately drove to the Xishan hunting ground to purchase the equipment.

Time was precious to him now, and he couldn't afford to waste a single moment.

From Liu Yang, he bought five high-quality steel crossbows, three advanced compound bows, and 300 arrows for each. Additionally, he purchased two excellent hunting knives.

These knives were made of Damascus steel, extremely tough and sharp. They were difficult to damage unless used for prolonged hacking against hard objects.

These weapons were perfect for self-defense (or attacking)!

All these items filled the entire trunk of his car.

Looking at this pile of equipment, Zhang Yi felt an intense sense of security.

He immediately drove back home with all the equipment.

Since he had purchased everything through legitimate channels and had obtained a hunting license in the past for recreational purposes, he wasn't worried about being questioned by the police.

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

Zhang Yi went out again and enjoyed a hearty hot pot meal at Hai Di Lao by himself.

Thinking that he would have to cook hot pot by himself in the future, he promptly ordered 10,000 portions of hot pot base from Hai Di Lao, paying for it upfront.

The servers at Hai Di Lao were shocked, thinking that Zhang Yi was someone from a rival business coming to cause trouble.

Fortunately, Hai Di Lao had good customer service and didn't directly confront Zhang Yi.

Later, the manager of the restaurant came over and, after questioning Zhang Yi, accepted the order.

However, the condition was cash payment to prevent any potential disruption caused by Zhang Yi as a rival business.

Zhang Yi readily agreed and paid over a million yuan on the spot.

Such a generous gesture made the manager extremely happy and he even gave Zhang Yi an additional 500 portions as a gift.
