992: Chapter 963: Looking for Death?
Don’t ss Around!
Joy and anger show on one’s face!
Wu Jie’s excitent was already more than apparent.
It was as if the words “smug as hell” were written across his face.
Way too smug!
That contemptibly smug smile just made people want to throw shade.
But…
Du, who had held back for a long ti, had no interest in throwing shade, right?
After letting Xia Feng revel in his excitent for a while, Du suddenly asked out of the blue,
“Your Liuli City Xu Family used to have extensive connections and wild ways, able to touch people and things ordinary folks couldn’t.”
“You must surely know of so powerful international forces abroad, right?”
Xu Feng said quite arrogantly,
“Of course we know!
To tell the truth, not only do we know, we even had business dealings with them in the past, very closely indeed.”
“How else could our family run the grey market?
How else could we hold our ground and not have others smash our operations or rob our routes?”
After glancing at Wu Jie, Xu Feng said with a sly smile,
“But as I’ve already agreed with Jie, the information on those big tigers is one thing, the intel on other international forces is a different matter – we need to trade data first, verify it, and then collect the money!”
“So what kind of organization do you want info on?
Or what aspect?
The more specific your request, the better, so I can find the corresponding…”
Before Xu Feng could finish, Du interjected urgently with the word “sprayer.”
As the head of the War Statistics Institute, he was eager to perform and under great pressure.
His words and deanor were a bit too excited, but Wu Jie thought it was nothing out of the ordinary.
And since the car was dim, and they had disguised themselves in advance, Xu Feng did not recognize Du’s true identity.
If he had known, Xu Feng would not be acting so cocky.
Showing off in front of a big shot from the War Statistics Institute was asking for death, wasn’t it?
Of course, Du didn’t want Xu Feng to die right now; it seed this guy knew so earth-shattering secret, and his death would be a real pity.
Snap!
Wu Jie lit three cigarettes and handed them out to Du and Xu Feng.
After puffing away for a while, Xu Feng said with a smug smile,
“Sprayer, huh?
That’s a broad range.
Being able to supply various standard sprayers in bulk makes one a big shot!”
“And you’re definitely not interested in small-ti vendors who tweak machine setups and make knock-offs!”
“It’s not easy to deal with a big shot, but I can give you data on a lot of forces, though the price, well…”
Wu Jie sneered, “Do you think I look like soone short on cash?”
Xu Feng shook his head repeatedly, “Jie, you’re not short of cash, but I’m worried that if you verify the data slowly after getting too much at once, I might already be dead from my debtors!
So it’s better for you to be more specific!”
Du asked bluntly, “Among the intel you can provide, which has the strongest power?
How big are they?”
“Their power is massive – tanks, planes, cannons, there’s nothing they can’t get that you can think of!” Xu Feng boasted.
“Are you fucking bluffing?” Wu Jie exhaled a smoke ring with a nonchalant expression and casually asked, “If I wanted nuclear warheads, could they get those?”
“Nuclear warheads??”
Xu Feng’s lips twitched, his eyebrows raised, and he laughed in astonishnt,
“Jie, are you…
you’re not joking, right?
Are you seriously considering buying, or just after the intel?”
“That’s big business!
Nuclear warheads are no trivial gadgets; their power is extraordinary!”
Wu Jie’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, “What?
Seeing as you put it that way, looking at your tone, do you really have a channel?”
Wu Jie glanced over and clearly saw eager and excited anticipation in Du’s eyes.
Intelligence agencies from multiple countries around the world had been frantically searching for the whereabouts of the nuclear warheads, but to no avail!
Could it be that today’s search was over without any effort?
Could it be that the difficult problem the War Statistics Institute had been busily trying to solve with no success was about to be cracked?
Fortunately, Du still had his composure and didn’t get too excited.
And Xu Feng, with a sly glint in his eye, didn’t rush to respond.
He had leaked a bit of information to Wu Jie on the plane, and now Wu Jie wanted to buy a nuclear warhead.
Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?
If it wasn’t a coincidence, then it would an the Security Bureau or so other departnt had been desperately tracking down the missing warheads.
Secret tips obtained through concealed channels had ntioned a certain country’s intercontinental ballistic missile being bizarrely dismantled, its nuclear warhead gone missing…
There’s no smoke without fire; it seems this tip was true, otherwise Wu Jie wouldn’t be so proactive.
And Xu Feng…
The guy seed even more cocky now, as if he knew everything.
“I have plenty of channels, but nuclear warheads are such badass ga-weapons, they’re not always in stock, and whether they’re legit or not, I can’t verify, so doing business like this isn’t easy, Jie!”
What did that an?
Hanging back to jack up the price?
Wu Jie scoffed with a cold laugh, “Just provide the data or contact details, and no matter what deal I make with them, I won’t let you down.
The inforr’s fee will definitely satisfy you!”
“How satisfying?” Xu Feng asked with an intrigued smile.
Wu Jie squinted and retorted with a cold smile, “It’s enough to make you a billionaire; don’t you think that’s enough?”
A billionaire!
That was no small sum!
Grinning sheepishly, Xu Feng certainly beca excited; his eyes almost shone.
“Alright!
Since Jie asked, I’ll definitely do my best.
But if you can really buy one, Jie, how much are you willing to pay?”
“A fugazi nuke that couldn’t produce a mushroom cloud was put on the International Black Market Network before, and it still went for a billion Gold Coins!
If it’s a real nuke that could destroy a city, it’s definitely not going to be cheap!”
With that question, Du imdiately frowned.
Sothing felt off!
Why does Xu Feng act like he knows everything?
Intercontinental missiles disassembled, nuclear warheads missing…
These are very covert, major events that ordinary people couldn’t possibly know about.
Since the Xu Family of Liuli City lost millions of tons of goods to a double-cross, their fortune has dwindled.
In the past half month, they’d been in continuous decline, no longer the wealthy and powerful family of before, and increasingly less favored.
How could they still be so well-inford?
It seems the saying is true: “The worm that doesn’t die with a hundred beatings!”
Proof the great family’s legacy still lives on; despite being deeply mired in huge debt, the old networks and connections remain formidable.
And the various dirt they just provided on many big tigers also proves they’ve “saved up a lot of good stuff.”
Though the family’s dostic situation is worriso, being pressed constantly to pay back debts, it’s likely their overseas connections remain largely unaffected, enabling them to access so special information.
Thinking this, Du coughed heavily twice.
Wu Jie imdiately caught on, and imdiately chuckled,
“Money is a trivial matter, whether the nuclear warheads are real, that’s the key!”
Xu Feng smiled, “You’re right.
If Jie can acquire those three nuclear warheads, it would be a significant deed for all humanity!”
“Don’t butter up!
You just focus on getting this done for , and I guarantee you’ll make big money!”
Wu Jie paused slightly then reminded in a low voice,
“And, I know your whole family has been desperately raising money lately, not to pay off debts, but to escape and go to the turbulent Jiazhou Continent!”
“But with your massive debt and legal woes, can you really leave through regular channels?
Now border inspections are strict, and even if you can go, you’ll have to pay a hefty sum to the smugglers, right?”
Xu Feng responded with a surprised chuckle, “Jie, I don’t understand what you’re saying.
Are you suggesting you can help my whole family flee?”
Wu Jie blew a smoke ring.
“Quit playing dumb; as long as you handle this well, not just a family trip to try your luck in Jiazhou, if you want to fly to the moon, I can make it happen!”
Xu Feng excitedly rubbed his hands together.
“Since you’ve put it that way, Jie, why waste words?
Wait for my news; I’ll have a firm answer in a couple of days!”
Wu Jie nodded slightly, then transferred two million to the account Xu Feng had provided earlier.
“This two million is a down paynt and also a fee for your troubles.
Get accurate information, and I’ll give you more.
If you can connect with a seller who truly has nuclear warheads, the reward will be beyond your imagination!”
“Also, this matter must be kept strictly confidential.
You can’t let them know that I’m the one wanting to buy nuclear warheads, and rember, if I buy, I buy all three together; I don’t accept individual purchases!”
Xu Feng nodded repeatedly, “I understand.
They want money, and you, Jie, want world peace.
Having only one or two of them leaves the remaining one unaccounted for, as if none were bought at all; the threat persists!”
“Glad you understand!”
Wu Jie gestured with his lips, and Xu Feng imdiately got the hint—it was ti to get off.
The electric car door slowly opened, and just as Xu Feng was about to leave, he suddenly turned to warn,
“By the way, Jie, don’t waste your ti looking for those nuclear warheads!”
“As far as I know, a very special force has got them; it’s beyond your wildest expectations!”
Seeing Xu Feng leaving, Du couldn’t help but call out to him.
“What do you an?
What exactly do you know?”
Xu Feng smirked, “Nothing special, but having received two million, I should offer so clues, right?
One must be fair, as I’ve learned from Jie!”
“What else do you know?
Spit it out!
Money is not the issue!!”
Du was completely anxious.
It looked like the chance to redeem and erase the stain from his record was right in front of him.
If he could get accurate information from Xu Feng, there would be no need for Wu Jie to work on an Intelligence Analysis System, nor to risk so many spies and agents in the field—these are things money can’t asure.
If money can solve the problem, then money it is, of course!
The War Statistics Institute has always been known for its generous funding in collecting major intelligence.
However…
Wu Jie, seeing Xu Feng’s mysteriously coy act, felt even more that he was just bluffing.
He may know so information, but certainly not much; his mysterious act rely aid to extract more money.
After all, if he really knew everything, he would have made his pitch to Wu Jie earlier.
Like those big tigers’ black materials, if he was confident about raising more capital, why would he put on such a charade?
Du was really sothing, actually getting led by the nose by Xu Feng.
“Is that right?
Since money isn’t a problem, how much are you willing to spend?” Xu Feng asked eagerly with greedy eyes.
Before Du could respond, Wu Jie rolled his eyes at him.
“Get lost, back to wherever you ca from.
What are you bluffing about here?”
Xu Feng was taken aback, offering an awkward smile, “You’ve got wrong, Jie.
I’m not trying to bluff; I…”
“You’re asking to get killed, right?”
Wu Jie said coldly, his hand reaching towards his waist.
Xu Feng imdiately backed down.
“I’m out of here!
I’m leaving now!
Goodnight, Jie!”
With hands clasped together in a salute, Xu Feng left with a full-face grin like a pandering sycophant, rather than the arrogant young master of old.
Clang!
Wu Jie slamd the door shut forcefully, simultaneously quieting giving orders to Phantom to covertly tail Xu Feng.
“Don’t be in such a hurry; tonight, I’ll give you a surprise!”
Du smirked, “A surprise?
You’re not actually planning to spend a fortune to buy three nuclear warheads, are you?
You’re not buying firecrackers to play with during the holidays, are you?”
“As long as we can buy them, I, of course, have a use for them!”
Wu Jie smiled mysteriously, glancing towards the distance.
Xu Feng had left, so why were the followers still here?
Could it be their target wasn’t Xu Feng but ?
