Chapter 292: 【292】So rude when speaking_1
“Right, you said before that you could help me deal with Mr. Gao? Why would you want to help me?”
Tang Feng knew that he had thoroughly offended Mr. Lu, and it would be difficult to mend their relationship anytime soon, so he simply changed the subject.
“Help you? You’re thinking too much. Our security team is also investigating Gao Shichang, but we currently have no evidence and it’s inconvenient for us to take action personally. So we thought about using you to force him into revealing his true self.”
Lu Keke candidly explained the situation to prevent him from becoming suspicious again.
“You’re investigating him too? Is it because of that bracelet?” Tang Feng regretted his question as soon as it left his mouth.
The security team was involved in serious business; how could they be concerned with a bracelet?
As expected, Lu Keke shot him a disdainful look, “A mere bracelet is not worth the effort of our security team; we have more important issues to address.”
“What issues?” Tang Feng was consumed by curiosity.
“What issues are none of your concern,” Lu Keke did not miss any opportunity to belittle him.
Tang Feng couldn’t be bothered to embarrass himself further, “You said you could help me, how?”
“Qin Lishen is a cash cow for Gao Shichang. If you can successfully take him down, Gao Shichang will surely go mad, and he will definitely stop at nothing to put you to death.”
“As long as he falls into madness, he’ll expose his tail, and that’s when we can find his weakness.”
Lu Keke detailed her plan thoroughly.
After listening to her, Tang Feng was somewhat speechless, “Listening to you, why do I feel like I’m being used as a pawn?”
“You want me to draw the fire in the front while you reap the benefits in the back? Do you think I’m that foolish?”
“So you’re refusing?”
“Of course I refuse. I’m out front fighting Gao Shichang to the death, and you’re behind picking up the credit.”
“With my blood, you adorn your medals? No way,” Tang Feng argued convincingly, leaving no room for rebuttal.
Lu Keke couldn’t resist a cold smile, “Do you think you have any other choice now? Even if you don’t work for us, Gao Shichang won’t let you off.”
“At least by cooperating with us, you’ll have an ally. Otherwise, you’ll be on your own against Gao Shichang’s retaliation.”
Tang Feng opened his mouth but found himself speechless.
Lu Keke was right.
He and Gao Shichang had become sworn enemies; even without the security team, he would have to face any retaliation that Gao Shichang might initiate at any time.
After weighing his options, he reluctantly nodded, “What information can you provide me with?”
Lu Keke went to the Wrangler and retrieved a file bag to hand to Tang Feng.
“We have two pieces of intelligence regarding Qin Lishen. First, it’s very likely that he uses Yueya Entertainment Company to launder money.”
“Their company has a number one public patron who washes illegal earnings into legal ones by giving huge tips to streamers…”
As Tang Feng listened, he pulled out the materials to review.
The description in the materials was even more detailed than her explanation, including thorough information about that number one patron and past tipping records.
According to the materials, in the past year, this number one patron tipped nearly one hundred million Dragon Country currency to several streamers under Yueya Entertainment Company.
This person could certainly be considered incredibly generous.
Lu Keke didn’t bother with him and continued to speak on her own, “The second piece of intelligence: Fan Ziqiu, the chief financial officer of this entertainment company, has consistently helped this number one patron with his laundering. Perhaps through this person, we could also find some breakthrough.”
Tang Feng looked over the detailed information about the chief financial officer. This documentation was meticulously thorough.
It included every possible detail: the CFO’s family background, educational history, work experience, hobbies, and social circles, all laid out in detail, leaving nothing hidden.
These two sets of information were precisely what he urgently needed at the moment, like receiving a pillow as soon as he dozed off.
“Thanks, I’ll take a good look at this information,” Tang Feng sincerely expressed his gratitude to her.
But Lu Keke didn’t give him any face, “I’ve already notified you. What you do with it doesn’t concern me.”
Having said that, she turned to get into the car.
But Tang Feng suddenly stopped her, “Wait a second.”
“What else do you want?” Lu Keke had a very poor first impression of him and didn’t want to exchange another word.
“Can I have your phone number?”
“What do you want it for?” Lu Keke looked guarded.
Tang Feng was inwardly speechless; was she really taking him for a pervert?
“If the mission progresses, I need to contact you, right? Don’t worry, I won’t call you to bother you.”
After some hesitation, Lu Keke finally recited a string of numbers to him.
Tang Feng saved her number and gave her a call right away.
Then he saw Lu Keke editing something on her phone; she was probably saving his number.
Out of the corner of his eye, Tang Feng noticed that she had named him “Big Pervert,” which made his cheeks twitch twice in response.
This woman was indeed holding a petty grudge; was she unable to let go just because he made some unintentional small movements?
He immediately took out his phone and changed “Lu Keke” to “Female Yaksha.”
Turnabout is fair play, after all, with equality for both genders.
“You better keep this matter secret and not tell anyone,” Lu Keke cautioned him before leaving.
“Wait a second, I have another question,” Tang Feng stopped her again as she was about to leave.
“What is it?” Lu Keke was getting impatient.
“Does this count as being the court’s hound?” Tang Feng asked earnestly.
He had read in martial arts novels that the one thing martial artists despised most was becoming the court’s hunting dog, often regarded with contempt by others. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He was a Late Stage of Mingjin genius, capable of taking on a hundred men, with limitless prospects for the future. If he were to be labeled a court hound, it would be a great loss indeed.
Lu Keke laughed as if she had heard a joke, “You’re overthinking it. A court’s hunting dog isn’t something you can become just because you want to. You aren’t even qualified.”
With that, she drove away.
Tang Feng was truly speechless.
This woman’s way of speaking was incredibly impolite.
What did she mean by not qualified?
An Early Stage of Mingjin upstart, far too arrogant indeed.
