Chapter 240 - 239: Possibly a Stalker
After resting for half an hour, the gambling resumed.
Yang Yi hoped to use this opportunity to infiltrate Boer’s inner circle. It might not be of use now, but it would definitely come in handy later on.
The wealthy might not need a spy in their lifetime, but a company would certainly have the chance to utilize corporate espionage. Currently, Yang Yi only had time to fabricate a profession. His lies wouldn’t stand up to scrutiny; a simple check would reveal whether his consultancy firm actually existed.
But whether the consultancy firm really existed wasn’t important. On the surface, it was a shell company with a legal facade, but its true business activities were another story altogether. Perhaps others weren’t familiar with such matters, but Boer was definitely well-acquainted and very understanding.
Because that was exactly what Boer did.
Therefore, all Yang Yi needed to do was let these people know he was in the intelligence business.
But figuring out how to convey that he dealt with intelligence required some thought. Going straight up to everyone and saying, "I’m in intelligence. If any of you want to acquire your competitors’ business secrets, feel free to consult me," would seem too frivolous.
Yang Yi decided to focus his main target and breakthrough on Boer.
The gambling restarted, and Yang Yi’s luck hadn’t improved, but Boer was faring reasonably well, consistently making small wins.
Yang Yi had planned to set up a game to help Boer turn those small wins into a big victory, but after much contemplation, he eventually abandoned the idea. He felt that what Boer needed was an opponent of equal skill, not an assistant to help him win money.
Yang Yi won some and lost some, but he could never manage to win back all that he lost. There was indeed no helping it because under the premise of similar skills, if cheating was not an option, then luck truly played a significant role.
