Chapter 839 - 839: Not Playing by the Rules
Chapter 839: Chapter 839: Not Playing by the Rules
The woman took out a photo and compared it, clicking her tongue, “Didn’t expect things to go so smoothly, seventy million Mei Gold in hand already.”
Lu Yi kept his cool, “I’ll give each of you five billion Mei Gold, let me go.”
He had faced many dangerous situations over the years and had become accustomed to them.
Many times, money had solved the problem.
This time was no different.
Spending ten billion Mei Gold to save his own life was a worthwhile deal.
A flicker of interest appeared in the woman’s eyes.
The corners of Lu Yi’s mouth lifted slightly.
Then—
Blood splattered.
The male assassin had slashed him.
Lu Yi’s expression was forever fixed at that moment.
He probably never imagined that the assassin would be so decisive, not greedy at all.
The female assassin complained a bit, “Why did you kill him, five billion Mei Gold!”
The male assassin spoke indifferently, “You believed what he said? And even if the transfer was real, aren’t you afraid of being traced back afterwards?”
“Now that we’ve killed him, we can both make seventy million Mei Gold without much risk, and that’s enough.”
The female assassin thought about it and agreed.
Afterward, the two started taking photos of Lu Yi’s corpse and collected his fingerprints, hair, and other evidence.
Having finished all this, they collected any valuables in the room and cleared all fingerprints.
Lastly, they calmly returned to their own room.
If they ran away now, it would only signal that something was amiss.
——————————
The next day, Jiang Xu received the news that Lu Yi had been slashed to death.
Everyone was stunned.
That quick?
In reality, he had already prepared for the possibility that the ten billion might go to waste.
After all, in the novels, the big villains are always difficult to kill.
There’s always an unexpected twist at the critical moment.
But novels are just novels, not the same as reality.
In the end, no such twist occurred.
Lu Yi was gone.
The next step was to start the gradual takeover of the “Hundred Insect Association.”
After getting up and washing up, Jiang Xu made breakfast for An Nuonuo.
He supervised her as she ate two eggs, a stick of fried dough, a bowl of milk, and half a bowl of noodles before he left home.
He then headed to the ‘Blueprint’ headquarters, to Bai Xiaoya’s office.
Today, Bai Xiaoya was wearing a long black dress.
She was like a blooming black rose.
Elegant and distinguished.
Every move was filled with charm and allure, making it hard to look away.
Seeing her made one want to invest.
“Why are you here?” Bai Xiaoya was happy to see Jiang Xu, “Tea or coffee?”
Jiang Xu, “Tea.”
Bai Xiaoya brewed tea for Jiang Xu, then sat in front of him, “What brings you here?”
This man wouldn’t come to her without a reason, something Bai Xiaoya was well aware of.
“Hmm, there is a matter,” Jiang Xu straightened his body, “Sister Xiaoya, I hope you can help me manage some intelligence organization affairs.”
Bai Xiaoya, “What???”
Jiang Xu carefully explained the situation of his intelligence organization.
In the end, he said, “Such a matter has to be handled by the person I trust the most, and besides you, I can’t think of anyone else.”
Bai Xiaoya was touched.
To receive such an evaluation from Jiang Xu made her feel her life was complete.
Indeed, she was a huge romantic at heart.
So, with just a few words, Bai Xiaoya agreed.
“Thank you, Sister Xiaoya,” Jiang Xu smiled, “Currently, the leader of another intelligence organization ‘Hundred Insect Association’ is dead.”
“Your task is to devour the market originally held by the ‘Hundred Insect Association.’ I will assign people for you to use.”
According to Jiang Xu’s plan, the intelligence network in his hands had to be divided into two parts.
One part was under Liu Dahai’s jurisdiction, serving only him.
The other part was managed by Bai Xiaoya, taking external orders and ultimately achieving self-operation and self-profit.
It could even give back to the group.
By the time Bai Xiaoya and Liu Dahai were counterbalancing each other, Jiang Xu would be completely at ease.
Bai Xiaoya would definitely not betray him.
Jiang Xu could be a hundred percent certain of this.
When she became the Patriarch of the Bai Family, she had given Jiang Xu a document.
If anything unexpected happened to her, Jiang Xu would inherit ninety-five percent of the Bai Family’s assets.
“Come to my house for dinner tonight,” Jiang Xu said.
Bai Xiaoya’s agreement to this matter was advantageous for Jiang Xu, and he had to show some appreciation.
“Sure,” Bai Xiaoya happily agreed: “Then you go back first, I still have matters to attend to.”
“Hmm.”
——————————
“Why has this happened?”
Lu Chao rushed back from Monkey Country in a hurry.
Upon seeing Lu Yi’s corpse, he immediately knelt down with a thud.
Lu Yi was the support of their family.
And over the years, Lu Yi had done too many crazy and heartless things.
Now that Lu Yi was gone, it was hard to imagine how those people who had been devastated by him, with broken homes and families torn apart, would seek revenge.
“Who killed him, have they found the murderer?” Lu Chao’s eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Lu Yi’s secretary.
The female secretary shook her head: “We only know that someone posted a bounty for the boss on the assassin network, as high as one point four billion Mei Gold.”
The first person to cross Lu Chao’s mind was Jiang Xu.
But he felt it was unlikely.
Before he could ponder further, a group of officials burst in.
After showing their IDs, they detained Lu Chao: “You are suspected of business theft crime, and you are now under arrest.”
Lu Chao felt like he had been struck by lightning.
His head buzzed, and he was unable to comprehend what had happened.
He was completely unaware that Jiang Xu had actually been having him watched all along.
The moment he returned from Monkey Country, they went straight to report him.
Several hours later.
Lu Chao saw the surveillance video footage of him stealing chip technology.
He felt utterly despondent.
Stealing trade secrets was a serious offense.
Especially when it involved chip technology, which was of utmost importance.
And with the amount involved reaching hundreds of billions.
With the evidence being incontrovertible, Lu Chao was facing at least twenty years in prison.
“Jiang Xu, you set me up, you deliberately laid a trap for me!” Lu Chao came to his senses.
His eyes blazed with fury, and his emotions were extremely agitated.
He let out a series of howls in the cell.
He was also one hundred percent certain that Lu Yi had been killed by Jiang Xu.
But he had no proof.
After venting his frustration, Lu Chao had to face a reality.
How was he going to protect his family and his unborn child?
Would Jiang Xu cruelly target his wife and child?
Just thinking about this shook Lu Chao to his core.
“No, I absolutely can’t let this happen!” Lu Chao paced back and forth in the cell.
Finally, grinding his teeth, he made a decision in his mind.
He requested an audience with Jiang Xu from the outside.
Jiang Xu received the message while he was at home having dinner.
He didn’t have time for this now, it would have to wait until tomorrow.
Bai Xiaoya also came over, bringing lots of toys for the children and some jewelry.
Jiang Xu laughed and said, “Stop giving gifts, the kids’ toys have already filled up two rooms.”
Two daughters not yet born, and they already own several billion in assets, can you believe it?
