NOVEL WEB Chapter 82
Chapter 82: The Two Protagonists Collaborate to Defeat the Antagonist!
“What?! Wu Ge wants to cooperate with me?” Zhao Tian, the Dragon King, received this surprising news at Dragon Fang Capital headquarters.
“Yes, Dragon King!” reported the person in black attire. Zhao Tian pondered deeply, his brows furrowing.
Here you are, a tomb raider, yet not immersed in tomb raiding or selling antiques. Instead, you’ve wound up working as a janitor at Lin Beifan’s company. And now, you’ve come to discuss matters of ruining Lin Beifan’s company with me…
Zhao Tian couldn’t fathom it: What is this guy’s true intent?
“What’s Wu Ge’s motive for joining Lin Beifan’s company? Have you looked into it?”
“We haven’t yet, Dragon King. However…”
“However, what?”
“However, we’ve discovered that Wu Ge is in a romantic relationship with the senior janitor at Lin Investment Company!” Zhao Tian’s interest was piqued: “He’s actually in a romance, and with a janitor? What does this janitor look like? Is she attractive?”
The person in black attire twitched their face, “Dragon King, this woman’s appearance… it’s hard to describe. Please take a look!”
They presented a photo, and after a glance, Zhao Tian was taken aback. Unexpectedly, the woman involved with Wu Ge was a middle-aged lady in her 50s!
Moreover, she appeared quite robust, quite plump. And astonishingly, she even had a son older than Wu Ge!
“… Is this true?”
“Absolutely, Dragon King!”
Zhao Tian burst into laughter, “Wu Ge, I never expected you to be this type, with such unique tastes. Pursuing an older lady! I must commend your audacity!”
Zhao Tian was genuinely amused, as though he’d uncovered a significant secret.
“Since he’s approached us willingly, let’s thoroughly assess his value for cooperation.”
“Yes, Dragon King!”
In Mo Hai City, Wu Ge sat facing two figures in black attire.
One of them inquired, “Why do you seek to collaborate with us?”
Wu Ge responded, “Because I want to make money, lots of it! At Lin Investment Company, I’m merely a humble janitor. Earnings there are meager, hence I’ve opted to work with you!”
Zhao Tian, the Dragon King, smirked, “A tomb raider like you desires money? Just delve into ancient tombs, and you can easily earn tens of thousands! You might even stumble upon priceless treasures!”
Clearly, there’s more to your motives!
The person in black attire chimed in, “You’ve admitted it yourself – a janitor at Lin Investment Company with no standing or influence. Why the inclination to aid us? I’ve tested numerous individuals before, all in vain!”
Wu Ge chuckled softly, “Were the people you tested actually capable?”
The person in black attire queried, “What do you mean?”
Wu Ge shook his head, “Allow me to clarify: none of those you tested were capable! Not only were they ineffective, but they’ve also been exposed. Lin Beifan is more astute than you believe!”
The person in black attire protested, “That can’t be true; we’ve been discreet!”
Wu Ge countered, “Then how did I find out?”
The person in black attire hesitated, “Well…”
Wu Ge pressed on, “Even I, a mere janitor, discerned it. Do you truly believe Lin Beifan, sharp and cunning as a fox, would remain oblivious?”
The person in black attire fell silent.
Wu Ge chuckled coldly.
When it comes to comprehending Lin Beifan, none rival him – the reincarnator.
In a past life, he’d battled Lin Beifan for over a decade, employing diverse strategies, each time ending in failure.
The opposing party was truly a master of guile, exceedingly shrewd!
His mind was meticulous, his calculations ingenious! The slightest issue or discrepancy would be ruthlessly seized upon by the opposing side!
In his previous life, countless formidable individuals had fallen at his hands! How could these few inexperienced employees, who panicked in the face of difficulties, hope to evade the scrutiny of the other side?
Meanwhile, on the other side, Dragon King Zhao Tian was also lost in deep thought.
Indeed, how could dealing with Lin Beifan be so straightforward? This guy was truly too shrewd!
Perhaps the individuals he had bribed had long been exposed!
So, throughout this time, they hadn’t managed to extract any information. “Lin Beifan is even more cunning, troublesome, and enigmatic than you can conceive. Perhaps the reason his exposure hasn’t occurred yet is because they’re setting a long trap to catch a big fish!” Wu Ge added.
Dragon King Zhao Tian nodded, largely concurring with Wu Ge’s observation.
“Ask him about his plan.”
The person in black attire promptly conveyed the Dragon King’s message.
Confidently, Wu Ge responded, “Once I become Lin Beifan’s confidant and the person he trusts most, I can assist you.”
Person in black attire: “Can you achieve that?”
“Absolutely, I’m confident!” Wu Ge asserted, “Firstly, I’m much more adept at acting than those you’ve bribed. At least, I won’t panic when confronted with challenges. Secondly, my identity as an undereducated janitor will lower his suspicions, allowing me to get close without raising alarm. Thirdly, my janitorial role grants me easy access to various offices without arousing suspicion.”
The person in black attire nodded, “Your reasoning is sound! But currently, you’re just a janitor. How can you become his confidant?”
Wu Ge answered, “This is where your assistance comes into play.”
Person in black attire: “What sort of assistance?”
Wu Ge grinned, “Provide me with the list of individuals you’ve bribed, and I’ll present it to Lin Beifan. Naturally, I’ll become the person he places the most trust in.”
The person’s expression shifted abruptly.
“Why the hesitation? Those you’ve bribed have likely been exposed already. Why not let me be the sacrifice and capitalize on the residual heat? It’s a win-win situation, isn’t it?” Wu Ge laughed.
The person in black attire stated, “I can’t make that decision unilaterally. I must consult with superiors.”
Wu Ge smiled confidently, “Please, go ahead!”
In the interim, Dragon King Zhao Tian contemplated the advantages and disadvantages of the situation.
In truth, he was leaning toward Wu Ge’s plan.
As the other side had implied, these individuals might have already been compromised and held little remaining value.
It made more sense to let them expend their efforts and allow Wu Ge to infiltrate the organization.
“Agree to his proposal!”
Person in black attire: “Our boss has decided. We agree to your request. Proceed!”
“Proceed!” Wu Ge chuckled.
Person in black attire: “Share your bank account details, and we’ll promptly transfer the operational funds to you! If you perform well, there will be more compensation in the future!”
Wu Ge cynically chuckled. They likely intended to transfer funds to him for potential leverage. But he didn’t mind; he was here to handle Lin Beifan, and some additional earnings wouldn’t hurt.
Wu Ge promptly provided his bank account number, and within moments, he received a transfer of 500,000 yuan.
“Let the collaboration commence!”
“Let the collaboration commence!” Both sides laughed.
“By the way, may I inquire about your boss’s identity?” Wu Ge probed.
Person in black attire remained evasive: “Wu Ge, my boss’s identity is confidential. If you achieve substantial success, my boss may consider a personal meeting!”
“Understood!” Wu Ge nodded, his eyes gleaming. Could it be that pompous Dragon King Zhao Tian?
Always parading around with a retinue of black-clad bodyguards, as though the world might overlook him!
And now he’s cultivating an air of mystery with me?
In his previous life, he’d clashed with Lin Beifan, nearly meeting his downfall!
He couldn’t pinpoint why Dragon King Zhao Tian had confronted Lin Beifan so promptly this time, but for Wu Ge, it was opportune!
After all, currently, only Dragon King Zhao Tian possessed the clout to confront Lin Beifan.
