"You've already been to the police station once, and you're still only thinking about work."
Luo Tian shook his head regretfully, as if he felt sorry for Ma Bo's short-sightedness.
"Don't think I'm the one you think of when you have a big deal." Ma Bo sneered, "Don't think I don't know that your family background is not as good as Liu Huanyi's. Even if she doesn't do this job, she can still live a good life when she returns. You can't do that."
Luo Tian clenched his fists, his eyes were colder than his own.
"How do you know I can't? Didn't you see the license plate of the car just now?"
"I saw it. Three eights. Pretty impressive. So what?"
Ma Bo remembered that Huo Yuli's license plate numbers were also very good, and each license plate number was extremely smooth.
"It's not like I haven't seen Mr. Huo's nice cars before. The car just now is not good enough in Mr. Huo's garage."
Luo Tian frowned, "Didn't you see that the license plate number of that car is from another place?"
As soon as he said that, Ma Bo realized that it was true.
"But what does this mean?"
"It means that a large company from another place has contacted me and wants me to work for them. Do you understand?"
Ma Bo took a moment to digest this, "You mean, someone bribed you?"
"You could say that."
In the past, Ma Bo would have scoffed at such behavior.
But now, Ma Bo feels that as long as he can make money, he will work for anyone.
He immediately put on a flattering smile, "Brother Luo Tian, I was disrespectful to you in the company before, I hope you can bear with me. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me. If there is any good opportunity, please take me with you."
"Okay." Luo Tian smiled strangely, "Now there is a good opportunity, but it will be very risky. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance."
"Of course not!"
Ma Bo rubbed his hands together, "What chance?"
"The other party wants to buy the data of the VR real-life game project, but I don't want to take the risk, you know."
Ma Bo looked at him in confusion, "But I've already been kicked out of Huo's company. It's impossible for me to leak it to other people."
"You're really not smart if I say you're stupid." Luo Tian looked at him sarcastically, "Couldn't it be that it was leaked by a current employee of Huo's, such as Liu Huanyi or Liu Huanyi's people?"
"That's impossible. They are so careful, how could they--"
Ma Bo suddenly realized halfway through his words, "You mean, put the blame on others?"
"That's what you said, not me. Anyway, if you want to make money with me, just shut up and listen to my instructions. After the success, not only will you get some money, but when I take the position of IT director, I will recruit you back."
Ma Bo was very excited, but still a little worried: "What if Mr. Huo doesn't let me go back?"
"I can recommend you to this company. Since you once worked for him, he will definitely accept you."
After some lobbying, Ma Bo was eager to start work immediately.
"Okay. I'll listen to you."
Liu Huanyi and the others followed Luo Tian to this abandoned primary school and heard everything he and Ma Bo said clearly. The three of them looked at each other. Liu Huanyi instructed Xing Zhao to accompany Hu Die to call the police, while he stayed to look after Ma Bo and Luo Tian.
"No, Boss, if they find you, you'll be in danger!" Hu Die was the first to disagree.
Xing Zhao also disagreed, "Boss, you two girls should call the police. I'm a grown man, and even if they find out, I can still fight for a while. If you two are found out, it's all over."
"You look down on me, don't you?" Liu Huanyi glanced at the classroom and heard voices coming from inside. Fortunately, they hadn't noticed yet.
Liu Huanyi lowered his voice and said, "I don't know if there are any more people hiding nearby. It's too dangerous for Hu Die to go alone to call the police. You go with her."
"Boss, what will you do? What if you are discovered?" Hu Die's round eyes were full of worry. The boss was so thin and weak that he would not be able to beat them if he was discovered.
Liu Huanyi laughed, "Do you think I am you two? You are so impatient. Just go ahead and don't waste time."
Xing Zhao and Hu Die decided to go and come back quickly, while Liu Huanyi squatted outside.
Ma Bo asked Luo Tian again when he would recommend him to the new company. Luo Tian was vague and his words implied that he should get this matter done first.
Ma Bo was not happy.
"Brother Luo Tian, that's not what you said originally. Didn't you say you would definitely arrange a job for me? How come you've changed your words to this now? I won't accept your words like this."
Admit it or not. Luo Tian said coldly, "Don't bargain with me. Do what you should do first. You are the first one who wants to be paid before the work is done."
"...Then you have to give me some assurance. Write me a letter of guarantee."
Luo Tianjin laughed sarcastically, "Letter of guarantee? How old are you? You still believe in such a thing as a letter of guarantee."
"Then I'm just working for you for nothing."
Ma Bo was immediately extremely unhappy.
Liu Huanyi found it ridiculous to hear that both of them wanted to rob their fellow thieves.
Unequal distribution of spoils is the most common reason for breaking up, but I didn't expect it to happen to these two people.
Their argument became more and more intense, and no one realized there was another person outside the door until Liu Huanyi's phone rang.
It was Liu Jin who called her, probably to ask her if she wanted to go back for dinner.
Although Liu Huanyi hung up the call in a second, she knew that Ma Bo and Luo Tian must have heard it.
Liu Huanyi retreated quietly. If they ran out of the classroom in a moment, she would run down the stairs to seize the opportunity.
Luo Tian gave Ma Bo a look, signaling him to chase.
Ma Bo understood and rushed out immediately, but didn't see anyone.
Even though he ran downstairs and looked around, he didn't see anyone.
After the primary school was abandoned, many iron doors were dismantled and sold as scrap, so Ma Bo could see if there was anyone in the classroom just by standing at the door.
After patrolling around and not seeing anyone, Ma Bo almost started to doubt whether he had heard it wrong.
But he didn't expect that there were two people standing behind one of the doors he knocked on.
Only after hearing Ma Bo's footsteps fade away did Yang Fan let go of the hand that was covering Liu Huanyi's mouth.
"Sorry, it was a reflex."
"It's okay. I should thank you."
Just before Ma Bo rushed out, Yang Fan pulled her into the classroom and hid her, thus avoiding Ma Bo's "search".
It was completely dark. They heard no movement outside and could not turn on the lights to check. They could only wait in the endless darkness.
"Why are you here?" Yang Fan asked Liu Huanyi.
"I should be the one asking you this." Liu Huanyi asked back calmly.
"I...I saw Luo Tian sneaking around on the road, and I guessed he was going to do something bad, so I followed him."
The memory of being tricked by Luo Tian last time was too clear, so Yang Fan was cautious this time. He followed Luo Tian quietly without letting him notice.
"You actually want to beat him up again when no one is around."
