novelCooperate with Us, Mu
| ← Ch.0696 | Ch.0698 → |
Shi Yuanhang's sounded fierce as he grabbed Mu Xichen's collar roughly.
From where he was, Peter could clearly see the veins popping out on Shi Yuanhang's temple, making him look particularly sinister.
Peter calmed down and relaxed a little. He looked at Mu Xichen who was leaning against the wall and sneered. He said in fluent English, "Mu, you're a smart person. This situation is very disadvantageous for you."
Mu Xichen's face was pale and he was obviously exhausted.
His eyes were now unfocused, he'd lost the smugness from before.
Peter also took out a cigarette and lit it."Jiang came to look for you and was ambushed by my brothers. Now, he has run away with his tail between his legs. Your good friend Gu has been invited by us as a guest temporarily. No one can save you now. By the time they get here, do you think your dead body be cold as stone?"
Mu Xichen narrowed his eyes and asked, "He is with you?"
Peter was very satisfied with Mu Xichen's reaction. He laughed and blew the exhaled smoke onto Mu Xichen's face. He said unhurriedly, "Yes, he's with us, but he wasn't very cooperative. We took some small measures."
As he spoke, he inserted the cigarette between his lips and and reached for his cell phone.
He opened his Facebook page and clicked on a picture, then placed the screen in front of Mu Xichen.
It was obviously a surveillance video.
Gu Mingye, on the other hand, was lying quietly on the bed. His body was tied up and his eyes were shut, as if he had fainted.
"I'm only asking for a small favor." Shi Yuanhang sneered and loosened his grip on Mu Xichen's collar. Then, he patted Mu Xichen's face and said, "Gu Mingye is also a pillar of the country. Tell me, what would become of him if we were to inject some cocaine into his vein?"
Shi Yuanhang bent down and gritted his teeth."Will he collapse?"
Mu Xichen's calm expression finally turned cold.
He looked at Shi Yuanhang and Peter indifferently and closed his eyes.
Peter burst into laughter, feeling extremely smug.
He shook the ash off his cigarette and gave a vicious laugh."Mu, 30% of the profits is not a small amount."
Mu Xichen seemed to be thinking about it. He closed his eyes for a long time before asking, "Who is the person to be admitted?"
Peter and Shi Yuanhang looked at each other and saw the victorious smile in each other's eyes.
P. I. T. Base.
Gu Mingye was locked in a small isolated room with surveillance cameras everywhere.
His entire body was bound and he could not move at all.
In fact, Gu Mingye did not move at all.
Bei Lun sat in the surveillance room and looked at the screen from time to time as he played cards. He got more excited with each bet he won. After a while, he found himself hugging a large pile of cash in his arms and smiled very proudly.
He looked up at the surveillance camera again. Gu Mingye was still lying on the ground, just like he was doing two hours ago.
Bei Lun waved his hand."Come!"
Ying Jieer felt that something was amiss. He looked at Gu Mingye on the screen and asked, "Why isn't he moving?"
Bei Lun didn't realize that there was a problem. He handed out his cards and said nonchalantly, "Of course, sedative."
Ying Jieer thought about it and agreed.
Then, he lowered his head and continued to play cards in high spirits.
A group of five or six people had been beaten by Bei Lun till they were crying at the top of their voices. There was a huge commotion in the surveillance room, but the room was empty.
There was a mini pinhole camera on Gu Mingye's chest. When he walked, he could clearly record the sounds around him and the scene in front of him.
T Jing looked at the screen and said, "Turn left. There's an infrared secret room. That should be their office."
The young man's voice could be heard through the earpiece. Gu Mingye looked around and entered the office.
"Left. There's a safe below. I've removed the surveillance cameras."
Gu Mingye squatted down. Indeed!
"Go closer."
Gu Mingye did as he was told.
"Ptui, don't get too close. You're blocking the light!"
Gu Mingye immediately understood and moved the camera closer.
T Jing looked at it for a moment and said, "0, 1, 6, 8. Despicable. Such a complicated password."
Gu Mingye whispered, "What do you mean?"
"These are the numbers, but this box has eight passwords. If you make five mistakes, an alarm will be set off."
Gu Mingye became a little solemn at those words.
"Try 8106666."
Gu Mingye found it rather unconvincing."What's the rationale?"
"Just a wild guess."
"..."
After some thought, Gu Mingye hit those numbers.
Red letters flashed on the screen: Password error!
In other words, he only had four chances remaining.
Gu Mingye did not dare to move and asked softly, "Are you sure there are important documents here?"
"Affirmative." T Jing was very certain."Boss said that if we can't find it in the safe, then we'll have to search Bei Lun's room. But according to my investigation, there's another secret room here. It's not big and it's filled with infrared. After opening this, you can find an opportunity to sneak in and take a look."
Bei Lun's room... Secret room...
Gu Mingye was a little nervous. He looked at the electronic screen and whispered, "Let's open this first."
"Try 10086666."
"Are you sure they will use so many sixes?"
T Jing replied, "Looking at the fingerprint residue, the number of 6s is quite high, so it looks a little messy. However, 1 and 8 only have shallow marks, so the chances of them appearing are not high. There will definitely be more 6's."
Gu Mingye looked at it and realized that it was true.
However, he did not dare to enter the numbers. He whispered, "Are you sure the situation in the surveillance room is secured?"
"Ptui, am I the sort of person who deserves to be doubted?" T Jing was displeased."Try me."
Gu Mingye hesitated for a moment and felt that the passcode guess was a reasonable one. He reached out and pressed the string of numbers.
The red light flashed again, brighter than before: Password error!
T Jing was a little embarrassed."They sure try hard to be different. They don't even use such a reasonable passcode, haha."
Gu Mingye gritted his teeth."If I die here, I'll make it a point to haunt you forever!"
T Jing felt guilty."Don't be agitated. We're all good friends. We can talk things over nicely right?"
Gu Mingye looked around and lowered his voice."Can you contact Boss and ask him to ask Shi Yuanhang? He definitely knows."
"You must be nuts!" T Jing was shocked by his words, but as he thought about it, it actually made sense. Hence, she turned on Mu Xichen's voice message and whispered, "Boss, Boss, reply if you hear me."
Mu Xichen responded faintly, "Mmm."
Only, his voice was almost inaudible.
Obviously, the situation was not optimistic.
After T Jing gave a summary of the situation, he was greeted by silence.
At this point, they had already moved Mu Xichen into their car.
Because of the blood loss, Mu Xichen's face was pale as he laid in the backseat of the car, looking very weak.
Peter and Shi Yuanhang were chatting happily.
However, Peter did not let his guard down and kept looking back at him.
When she saw the weak and quiet Mu Xichen, he couldn't help feeling smug as he laughed icily.
Mu Xichen silently glanced at Shi Yuanhang, who was driving. He closed his eyes and suddenly said, "No..."
It was a remark made in a light tone.
Startled, Peter looked back.
He saw Mu Xichen slump against the back of the seat, his back was almost pressing against the car door. He looked dispirited and dejected.
Shi Yuanhang glanced at him and smiled smugly."To think that you'd live to see such a day."
Peter felt that something was amiss and said, "Drive faster, don't let him die!"
Shi Yuanhang was unruffled and said, "What's the hurry? He's not going to die."
Peter's face darkened."Now is not the time to be calculative about personal grudges. If he dies, we will all be in trouble!"
The smugness on Shi Yuanhang's face faded as he looked at Peter with dissatisfaction. He turned to look at Mu Xichen again with a sullen expression and sped up.
Having noticed this, Peter said, "I know you want him dead. When this is over, I'll let you kill him yourself."
Shi Yuanhang's expression softened a little as he silently drove faster.
"Road..."
"6?"
"It's dangerous on the road, don't drive too fast..."
"6?8?"
"Mm..."
T Jing sounded excited."668?"
But in Peter's eyes, Mu Xichen was like a dying man talking nonsense in a delirium. He urged, "Drive faster, hurry up!"
Shi Yuanhang glanced at him and frowned even more. He shouted, "Stop putting on an act. If you want to die, go ahead. But don't die in my car!"
Mu Xichen seemed to sober up after being yelled at.
He widened her eyes and looked at Shi Yuanhang. Suddenly, he said, "Watch where you're going."
Peter heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Shi Yuanhang, who was now burning with anger."You rascal, don't make a mess of the boss's business."
Mu Xichen leaned back and closed his eyes."Do you... hate me?"
"0?"
"Mm..." Mu Xichen frowned and moaned in pain." In the past, you and I... were together..."
"Shut up!" Shi Yuanhang shouted.
"668601..." T Jing concluded and asked, " Are the last two digits 66?"
"Ha..." Mu Xichen did not answer his question. Then, he fell silent as though he had fallen asleep.
"66860166!" T Jing was excited."Try it!"
Gu Mingye quickly pressed the string of numbers.
Click.
This decoded two locks on the safe.
"The key is in the drawer above your head!" T Jing instructed.
Gu Mingye immediately looked up and silently reached for the key.
Click.
The safe opened and there were two compartments inside.
In one compartment, there were two paper bags, and in the other was a stack of white A4-size paper covered with dense black text.
"The paper bag. Have a look at what's in there."
Gu Mingye opened it and found a sealed transparent bag inside.
In the sealed bag was a stack of photographs.
The photographs were of a tall man with short black hair, an erect posture, and deep-set features. He looked like he was of mixed race.
On the bottom left corner of the photo, there was a row of words: Nico Rothschild.
Nico Rothschild.
Following the row of words, there were two more words: Bei Yong.
