We meet again, Mr. Colin. What can I do for you this time?" Su Wei flashed the smile Colin was most familiar with, though the other party couldn't see it through the mist.
"I want to clear my name. What do I need to pay?" Colin got straight to the point, without any pretense.
"Clear your name? Do you mean your gangster background?"
"You know everything?" Colin felt even more confident about this deal.
"Of course. You betrayed a piece of information yesterday that allowed the gang to successfully complete a transaction under police surveillance. The police are quietly investigating the mole!" Su Wei, having copied Colin's short-term memory, knew everything clearly, even experiencing the other party's passionate night with the captain's secretary.
Damn, that was good!
Damn, ugh!
"Can you do it?" Colin's body stiffened slightly, exposed as the mole. He swallowed and asked.
"I am omnipotent, but clearing your name, because it involves the karma of others and is too complex, the price required far exceeds what you currently possess." Su Wei's intended business wasn't this one, and besides, the unreliable system wasn't helping, so Su Wei could only prepare an excuse.
Looking at the visibly disappointed Colin, Su Wei continued,
"However, I can offer another solution: life exchange. This solution is very simple; it only requires finding someone to take over your karma."
"What do I need to pay for that?" Colin's eyes lit up.
"If I find another customer who needs a life exchange, the cost will be much smaller, because I am not providing resources for this transaction, just a platform for you. Peer to Peer, we help you complete the transaction, so you only need to pay a small handling fee."
Colin was tempted.
"What's the handling fee?"
"Don't worry, you can definitely afford it. Your love, your most skilled ability—all are acceptable."
Colin began to ponder: should he give up love, or give up a skilled ability?
He was a philanderer, but still longed for a beautiful marriage.
Give up a skilled ability?
Flirting? Socializing? Learning? Shooting?
For Colin, who wanted to become a man of status,
The least necessary seemed to be shooting.
The higher his position, the fewer opportunities he would have to fire a gun.
"I'll pawn my shooting ability. When I was in the police academy, I held all the shooting records!"
Su Wei mentioned love only to hide his true purpose,
which was to have Colin pawn his abilities, all the abilities that would make him a rising star in the police force.
The system had previously mentioned that the pawned item could be chosen as a commission.
The current Su Wei desperately needed various abilities to enhance his own strength.
"Alright, please sign the contract. After drinking this tea, we will complete our transaction."
"Wait, I want to know what kind of life I'll be exchanging for?"
"Due to customer privacy, I cannot reveal too much, but I can guarantee that he is more handsome than you, comes from a better family than you, and as long as he works hard and perseveres, his future will be no worse than your current one. Don't worry, all of this can be written into the agreement." Su Mo spoke without blinking. Yes, he hadn't lied about any of this information.
This information greatly satisfied Colin, as if he could already see a future with both women and a successful career. His mind was made up, and he asked one last question,
"What about the previous transaction?"
"Since it's a life replacement, everything you had before will belong to the other person. Similarly, everything of his will belong to you, including friendships. If you still want to pawn friendship, you still can."
"Also, to add, because you are pawning your shooting ability this time, your new identity will also lose its shooting ability."
Colin thought about it; it was fair. He decisively signed the contract.
It was just a pity about the apartment he had just bought and hadn't yet furnished.
But he quickly thought that as long as he had money, he could buy something better.
Since he had made his decision,
Colin decided not to dwell on the past,
He just wanted to embrace his new life as soon as possible,
and immediately drank the tea.
As the tea disappeared,
Colin quickly lost consciousness.
Su Wei helped Colin into another room.
The room had been set up as an operating theater.
There were two operating tables inside.
One of them already had a person lying on it.
"Dr. Walsh, the rest is up to you."
It was Dr. Walsh, who had previously pawned his career.
Dr. Walsh had been living comfortably recently.
He had settled his previous medical lawsuit.
His wife was no longer pushing for a divorce.
His own research institute was being established.
Everything was getting back on track.
So he was very grateful to Su Wei.
"Don't worry, boss. I've seen their previous medical reports. My face-swapping surgery will be foolproof."
"Then I'll leave it to you."

Colin slowly woke up and found himself in an unfamiliar environment.
A luxuriously decorated three-story villa.
Was this the home of his new life?
Indeed, he came from a better family than himself.
The view outside the window indicated it was an upscale community.
Excellent!
Suddenly remembering the most important thing,
Colin rushed into the bathroom.
Reflected in the mirror was a strange face.
Younger than himself,
More handsome than himself,
This face didn't even need to speak to get girls into bed.
Excellent x 2!
He pulled out a social security card: Billy Costigan.
By the name, he was also of Irish descent, but combined with the environment, he was clearly at least middle class.
Simply perfect,
However, he still needed to figure out the status of this identity.
Colin immediately took his wallet and social security card,
to find a private detective to investigate himself.
---
Billy slowly woke up and found himself in an empty, high-end apartment, with a signed purchase agreement beside him. The name was Colin Sullivan, and the purchase date was two months ago.
He quickly pulled out his social security card to confirm his guess.
Indeed, this Colin was his new identity, acquired by pawning his family ties.
Colin, the rising star of the Massachusetts State Police.
He walked into the bathroom,
and confirmed his new appearance.
A smile played on his lips.
Billy was not unfamiliar with this new identity, because he had broken all of the other's shooting records at the academy when he first enrolled.
According to the internal police file provided by the pawnbroker, this senior had impeccable credentials, with no ties between his family and gangs. It was the clean identity Colin had always dreamed of, and now he was the police force's rising star.
It satisfied all his needs.
To hell with that damn Billy!
Colin Sullivan, State Trooper of Massachusetts.
"Hey, Colin, are you finally moving in? That's great! I'll help you move this weekend." Su Wei appeared at the door. "I can't wait to throw you a housewarming party. You said you had connections to find the hottest call girls in all of Boston, right?"
Billy was startled at first, then quickly agreed. This stranger should be Colin's good friend, and now should also be his own good friend, another rising star in the police force.
A perfect resume, a bright future, and good friends to mess around with—why would anyone need to change identities?
Could he have some trouble, just like himself?
After a day and a night, all was calm.
Billy temporarily cast his worries aside and began to enjoy his new life,
starting with the hottest call girls,
and his good friend.
