"Have you prepared all the personnel on your side?"
Qi Ye looked at Xu Chendong, who made a gesture, "That's definitely no problem. I'll spread the word this time, and you'll lead the team. Don't forget the purpose of our trip."
"Alright, I'll go first then, let's not give ourselves away."
"no problem."
Less than ten minutes after Qi Ye left, Xu Chendong started doing other work. Estimating that it was almost noon, Xu Chendong gave an order: "Find an excuse to go and keep an eye on things. Remember, find a few unfamiliar faces. Those greenhorns we recruited recently would be perfect."
"yes."
Xu Chendong didn't entrust the document to anyone else; he carried it with him all the way to Qi Ye's office.
Qi Ye looked at Xu Chendong and immediately understood. He then feigned cooperation and asked, "Do you need me to make a trip?"
"Good, you watch, we're off now."
Qi Ye took the folder, opened it and pretended to glance at it, then casually tossed it onto the table. "Hey, what's the rush? It's so late, why didn't you come sooner?"
Xu Chendong glared at him, "You brat, be serious."
Qi Ye straightened up and chuckled, "Alright, alright, I'll be serious. Well, I can't go now, I'm hungry. Let's eat first and then go."
"No manners."
"Hey, why should I talk to you about rules and regulations? Come on, come on, I heard the head chef is making braised pork today, we need to hurry. I was thinking of getting an extra portion to take back for my wife and kids."
"You little brat..."
The two voices faded into the distance, and the document was left lying openly on the table.
The cafeteria was noisy. Xu Chendong was easygoing, but he wouldn't mingle in the crowd, especially since they needed to discuss something. The two brothers got their food, sat in a corner, and ate and talked.
"Do you think this will work?"
Qi Ye snorted, "Whether it works or not, we'll find out by trying. Besides, there's nothing to lose anyway."
This kind of thing is something that the people don't report, and the officials don't investigate. Even if there is an occasional surprise inspection, it's only to prevent them from getting too rampant and disturbing people's peace of mind.
Xu Chendong sighed, "I also got on your pirate ship. Logically speaking, why would someone who runs a black market get involved in human trafficking? The money from the black market would be enough for him to live comfortably for a long time."
Qi Ye had also been genuinely curious about it, but later he figured it out. To put it bluntly, it's simply a matter of different people having different ambitions.
Besides, people are inherently greedy; once they've gained a lot, they want more, which Qi Ye understands.
"Brother, you don't know, these days, in order to make money, many people don't even care about their conscience!" After saying that, Qi Ye put a piece of meat on Xu Chendong's plate. "Eat it. Anyway, you'll never understand this in your life, so don't make things difficult for yourself."
After eating and drinking their fill, the two returned to the office together. Seeing that the documents had been slightly flipped through, they exchanged a glance and realized that the fish had taken the bait.
Qi Ye tidied himself up and said, "Just wait and see."
Following the location on the document, Qi Ye led his men there, but of course, they found nothing. The place was so clean and tidy that it seemed as if no one had ever been there.
This trip, naturally, ended in failure.
Qi Ye made up an excuse and didn't go back. He wandered the streets when Wang Xingda suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grinning at Qi Ye, "Brother?"
Qi Ye dodged, "What are you doing?"
Wang Xingda had a knowing look on his face. "Shall we go sit in the house in front?"
"No need." After saying that, Qi Ye turned to leave. Wang Xingda, thinking of the news he had received at noon, was greatly encouraged. He really thought that Qi Ye had become the breakthrough point, so he hurriedly followed him until the two of them walked and stopped until they reached a deserted alley.
"What exactly do you want?" Qi Ye turned his head. Wang Xingda and his henchmen were following not far away. When they saw Qi Ye speak, he quickly approached. "Hey, what can I do? I just want to get closer to you, brother."
"Exactly, it's not like we did anything illegal, why are we avoiding my brother like he's a plague god?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xingda's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and met Qi Ye's ambiguous smile. His face was expressionless. He turned his head and slapped Qi Ye hard across the face. "Did I tell you to shut up?"
The underling got slapped and didn't dare utter a sound.
She covered her face, lowered her head, and walked away.
Qi Ye then spoke up, "Your little brother is quite interesting; he's pretty protective of his own."
"Oh, please excuse my lack of common sense. It's just that I'm not very bright, which is quite worrying."
"Tell me, you've been following me the whole way, wherever I go, you follow. What's the point of all this?"
Wang Xingda chuckled, "Still pretending with me? It's fine if you pretend once in a while, but now that there's no one around, it's pointless to put on that pretentious act."
That being said, Wang Xingda had only just learned that Qi Ye had such a powerful background and connections, and that he was brothers with the top leader there.
If he had known earlier, he would have definitely tried to build a good relationship with Qi Ye much earlier.
However, it's not too late for him to find out now; there's still a chance to make amends.
Qi Ye chuckled, leaned against the wall, and raised an eyebrow. "Well, you're quite well-informed. Tell me, who told you?"
Wang Xingda grinned foolishly, but said nothing.
When it comes to this kind of thing, his mouth is as tight as a clam's.
If it weren't for this unique connection, would he have been able to make such a success here?
Don't joke around. If you don't have connections, you'll be blind no matter what you do.
"Hey, let's not talk about that. You have no idea how much I lost because you brought your people here late today."
Wang Xinda took out money from his pocket, saying, "This is what you deserve."
"Wow, so generous?"
This thick roll must have at least thirty or forty pages.
Ten yuan notes, three or four hundred yuan notes, they were given away without batting an eye.
"You little rascal," Qi Ye didn't say he agreed, but he also didn't express any refusal. He just looked down at the penny in front of him, his expression unreadable.
He wanted to know whether the money was earned through hard work on the black market or obtained through heinous acts and bloodshed.
"Take it." Wang Xingda handed it to Qi Ye without further ado. "Big brother, I'm just a nobody. If you let even the slightest bit of information slip through your fingers, I'll be set for life."
Qi Ye held the money in his hand and nodded, "Let me think about it, but your mouth..."
Wang Xingda understood everything that was left unsaid.
He just wanted to do business and get on this big ship to save himself some effort. If he had any sense at all, he wouldn't have thought the ship would capsize.
"Brother, do you need to say that? Your brother's mouth is very tight, so don't worry. I'll take care of all the vegetables and fish at your house."
