Chapter 1651 - 1472: Selling Someone Off, But Only Admitting to Renting Them Out
"Don’t look at me with such a disgusting gaze!"
"Hmm—, come on, I really want to know why not?"
You shivered all over, facing the ever-approaching Heavenly Fox, quickly retreating: "If you’re this naggy and troublesome as a guy, if you were a girl, that would be defying nature. Besides, any unlucky soul marrying a sissy version of you, it’d be like being naked in front of you every day with no secrets hidden, might as well be dead for relief."
Hearing this, Heavenly Fox shrugged helplessly: "It’s such a pity, because up to now, I haven’t found an ideal partner. I was hoping we could become good buddies this time."
"Get lost!"
You shot Heavenly Fox a bad-tempered glance, then looked at him and said: "After all this pointless chatter, we should get to the main issue. Tell me, what brings you to me now?"
"There’s no new mission, but I wanted to tell you the current situation is a bit complex, so don’t rush. Actually, your main task is to infiltrate their ranks, gain their trust, and then act when the opportunity arises."
You looked at Heavenly Fox, clenching your fist till it crackled: "Bai Zixin, are you just messing with me?"
Bai Zixin is Heavenly Fox’s real name, not many people know it, and even fewer dare to say it in front of him. You rarely call Heavenly Fox by his real name, but today you are genuinely not in the mood.
After all, you are someone who dislikes being constrained, and now working a small job in an investment group. Since it’s undercover, you can’t be as willful as you were in school, sleeping in class, arguing with teachers.
Today, on your first day at work, you were shuffled around, especially being placed by Yue Kang’s side, making you the target for everyone.
To say the least, just working alone makes you feel very frustrated, and being assigned to the business department, you certainly need to make some achievements.
The most annoying part is you’re labeled as a top student from Yale University, so how many brain cells will you kill at work in the future!
Seeing your face change color rapidly, Heavenly Fox took advantage of your unresponsiveness, slowly got up, and prepared to sneak away.
"Wait a minute!" You suddenly halted Heavenly Fox.
Heavenly Fox turned his head to look at you, showing a bright smile: "Brother Nine, what’s up?"
"Let’s talk in the car."
As you said this, you took out fifty Chinese Yuan from your pocket, put it in a passing waitstaff’s hand, and said "Keep the change," then moved forward, grabbed Heavenly Fox by the shoulder, and forcefully took him to the Dongfeng business car where Liao Yong was.
Opening the car door, you stuffed Heavenly Fox right in.
Heavenly Fox turned back, quickly smiling at you from the seat: "Captain, we’re cultured people, we shouldn’t resort to violence."
"Although I really want to beat you up till you can’t take care of yourself, I’m not in the mood right now." You slammed the car door shut, turned to Heavenly Fox, and said, "From the start, I thought this whole thing was fishy, and your explanations of the mission were ambiguous, especially you, Old Fox, I feel like nothing you say is true."
"Captain, heaven and earth can bear witness, I have never deceived you."
"Hmph, with your skill at dodging the main issues, even if you sold me, you’d say you just rented me out."
Hearing this, Liao Yong in the driver’s seat gave you a thumbs up because the description was really vivid.
Heavenly Fox is just that kind of person!
You looked at Heavenly Fox and continued: "And I’ve given it some thought, it seems like you guys are hiding something from me."
"No, absolutely not!"
"You’re saying it so definitively, which means there definitely is something." By this time, you had already rolled up your sleeves, "From the start, you kept emphasizing how high-tech the Haitian Building’s security system is, making it seem like no outsider could get in. But thinking carefully, there are too many holes in that statement, I must have been stupid to believe it so easily."
As you said this, Heavenly Fox suddenly felt a bit deflated. Actually, when he was lying at the start, he was a little guilty, because with your skills alone, getting into Haitian Building wouldn’t be too hard.
"Captain, actually, I have trust in your personal abilities, but they say ’safety first,’ and we want to cast a long line to catch a big fish."
"Hmm, finally some key words." You laughed, looked at Heavenly Fox and said, "Tell me, what is the big fish you’re referring to?"
Faced with the question, Heavenly Fox suddenly didn’t know how to start.
After listening to the two of you for a while, Liao Yong finally couldn’t sit still, turned his head and said to Heavenly Fox, "Vice Captain, I think you shouldn’t hide it anymore, just tell the Captain."
"Ah, so even Black Bull knows what’s going on behind the scenes, and it’s just me you kept in the dark."
Heavenly Fox was silent for a moment and then started explaining: "Captain, it’s not that I wanted to hide it from you, but the higher-ups instructed us not to let you access secrets above S-level."
"Is it because of my identity in Europe?"
Heavenly Fox nodded: "After all, your identity isn’t minor, everyone knows your character, but Europe also has your friends, in case some missions target them, so..."
"I understand, you don’t need to say it, I get it, just following regulations." As you said this, you reached out and patted Heavenly Fox’s shoulder, "Since that’s the case, I won’t ask further. But earlier I meant to say, instead of going through all this trouble, why not just sneak into the Haitian Building and fetch Jerris directly. But now it seems that Jerris is just a decoy; what you’re concerned about must be the forces lurking behind Jerris. Since this force managed to infiltrate China quietly and create such a large consortium without you getting any evidence, the person commanding from behind must be quite skilled."
Seeing you ready to leave, Heavenly Fox quickly spoke up: "Captain, I didn’t mean to hide anything, I also only received the confidential report at noon, saying we should wait and see."
"Seems like Lao Du and the others have been operating on this for a while now, but we were just out of the loop. Come to think of it, the president of the Hengtai Group, Wei Songbo, is indeed the son of Wei Tong. Old Grandpa Wei and Lao Du are basically like two peas in a pod, there’s no way Lao Du’s sharp nose wouldn’t catch wind of this."
Since entering this world, your cursing skills have improved, making Heavenly Fox shake his head with a smile.
"According to my speculation, those two types of medicine should have already exchanged hands," Heavenly Fox guessed.
But you shook your head: "No, the medicine is definitely still in Hengtai Group."
