1170: Chapter 1163: Planting Inside Agents 1170: Chapter 1163: Planting Inside Agents He nodded with satisfaction and then turned to look at Fulanta, walking towards him with a smile.
“Sir, is there sothing you need?” Fulanta, increasingly uneasy, asked as he observed the smile.
“Ah, don’t call sir; we are all equals here.
Just call ‘Mister,'” Cheng Ziang walked over and kindly placed an arm around his shoulders.
“Yes, yes, Mister…” Fulanta forced a smile and said.
“Fulanta, I heard that you want to stay in Lipei, is that correct?” Cheng Ziang suddenly asked.
“Oh, ah, this, the district governnt officials said if I invest my assets in the construction of Lipei, I can gain profits, and they wouldn’t seize these legal earnings.
So, I thought it might be better to stay, especially since I still have a family…
Sir, do you not like us staying in Lipei?” Fulanta swallowed nervously and asked.
“Ah, no, no, no, we are very pleased to have progressive feudal lords like you stay in Lipei, as long as you beco capitalists.
We welco you and your capital,” saying this, Cheng Ziang playfully patted his arm and then smiled, “I an, if you want to stay in Lipei, then surely you need to maintain good relations with the district governnt, right?
It would make your future investnts and operations very convenient.
People from Earth have advanced technology and culture, and your children can also learn about these cultures.
People from Earth are also happy to teach.”
“Yes, yes…” Fulanta nodded repeatedly, although he wasn’t sure what Cheng Ziang was getting at, he still nodded in agreent.
“Now, there is a rare opportunity for you to further develop your relationship with the district governnt, which will benefit your future investnts and yield greater returns.
Will you take it?” Cheng Ziang asked, watching him.
“The opportunity you ntioned is…” Fulanta hesitated and asked.
“You see,” Cheng Ziang coughed softly, then lowered his voice, “Recently, so fellas who have been stripped of power harbor ill intentions toward the district governnt, like Saiye Moray, who employed troops to harass Lipei.
People like that should be resolutely dealt with, right?”
“Yes, yes, such people deserve death, but I haven’t joined them…” Fulanta said, sowhat confused.
“I know you haven’t joined them,” Cheng Ziang paused, then shifted his tone, “But now, the district governnt doesn’t even care who has or hasn’t joined.
They plan to take away all the properties of people like you.
You are, after all, suffering big ti for nothing.”
Although these feudal remnants were indeed causing headaches for headquarters, they hadn’t planned on seizing the property of all feudal lords; it was just a ntion internally.
But by the ti it reached Cheng Ziang, it had turned into a definite outco.
His intention was simple: to make Fulanta deliver a letter of allegiance, seizing the rebels to demonstrate his loyalty, thus causing internal divisions among the feudal lords to prevent them from uniting against the Lipei district governnt.
“We really haven’t done anything,” Fulanta beca anxious upon hearing this and hurriedly explained, “We really don’t want to oppose the district governnt.
We would like to cooperate with them, we have no such intentions, we are wronged…”
“Calm down,” Cheng Ziang consoled him, “That’s why I’m saying there is currently a suitable opportunity, an opportunity for you to sever ties with these people.”
“Please clarify, sir!” Fulanta said, almost kneeling down.
“You see, these people are rebelling, and the district governnt definitely wants to capture them, right?
But, the whereabouts of these people have always been elusive, and you know, the district governnt is new here and isn’t familiar with the situation in Lipei, so they are troubled by these people.
At this mont, we need soone to infiltrate their ranks to provide reliable information for the district governnt, helping them capture these people…” Cheng Ziang said enticingly.
“So, your intention is that you want to infiltrate these people and provide intelligence for the district governnt?” Fulanta blinked, instantly understanding his aning.
“Yes, exactly,” Cheng Ziang patted his shoulder approvingly and said, “In doing so, first, you can clear your own na, and second, by helping the district governnt with such a big favor, they surely won’t mistreat you, will they?
By then, you can rise rapidly in rank, and life will definitely be more comfortable than it is now.”
“Let think about it…” Fulanta took a deep breath, sinking into deep thought.
Seeing his hesitation, Cheng Ziang decided to increase the pressure, so he continued, “Let tell you, now is the ti for you to choose sides, to choose the district governnt or those people, it all depends on what you think.
With those people causing such a stir, you’re unlikely to remain neutral anymore.
Once the district governnt suppresses these rebels, the next ones they will deal with will be neutrals like you.
They also don’t know whether you might beco the next traitor, so dealing with you all also prevents future trouble.”
Cheng Ziang persuaded Fulanta in an almost coercive tone to change his mind, though his words, although extre, were not exactly wrong.
Once this matter settled down, headquarters would definitely not allow such events again, certainly restricting the assets of those feudal lords, just not to the exaggerated extent Cheng Ziang ntioned.
“Well, okay…” Fooled by Cheng Ziang like this, Fulanta’s thoughts were disrupted.
After randomly thinking for a while, he finally nodded in agreent to Cheng Ziang’s plan.
“Very well, then when you infiltrate those people, we will take care of your family and transfer them to Lipei for strict protection,” Cheng Ziang said, nodding in satisfaction.
“Didn’t you say my family wouldn’t be targeted?” Fulanta imdiately beca anxious.
“Listen to , listen to ,” Cheng Ziang soothed, “On one hand, we admit that we might not trust you fully, so we need your family to co with us, so that we can be assured.
But on the other hand, if you choose to join them, they will definitely want your family to follow them.
You know, opposing the Lipei district governnt is a dead end.
In such a case, if you die, you might not care, but why should your family also suffer?
Think about it, does that make sense?”
“I will make arrangents for my family.
They won’t go with them,” Fulanta said anxiously.
“Mr.
Fulanta,” Cheng Ziang took a deep breath, then patiently said with a smile, “You know, opposing the district governnt is a dead end.
We spare no effort in dealing with enemies.
If, I say if, you submit to those people’s tyranny and rebel, then you beco our enemy.
No matter where in the world, you and your family would live the rest of your lives in fear; we won’t easily let go of anyone who opposes the Lipei district governnt.”
If the previous conversation was seductive, then Cheng Ziang’s words now were a thorough threat, ant to warn Fulanta that headquarters had the confidence and capability to pursue them worldwide.
“Please, let think about it a bit more…” Fulanta’s complexion changed repeatedly, and after a long while, he lowered his head and said tremulously.
“You’d better decide quickly, as swift action is valuable.
Resolve the matter with Lipei sooner, and you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits provided by the Lipei district governnt sooner,” Cheng Ziang said with a smile.
“You, you promise not to harm my family?” Fulanta asked worriedly.
“Absolutely not, I guarantee it on my personal honor,” Cheng Ziang said.
“If so, please allow to discuss it with my family,” Fulanta pleaded.
“Please feel free,” Cheng Ziang nodded happily, then left the study with Hu Daoke.
The three returned to the hall, and Fulanta called his wife and daughter back to the study to discuss.
The group stood quietly in the hall, waiting for their response.
