Chapter 148 The Domineering President’s Father 27
The driver is called Brother Yuan. He is one year older than Lao Xun. However, unlike Lao Xun who is irritable, selfish, greedy and short-sighted, Brother Yuan is an extremely rational and vicious person, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.
He is very protective of people he approves of, and in order to achieve his goals, other people's lives and deaths have nothing to do with him.
The police's consideration is to sow discord between Brother Yuan and Lao Xun. With Brother Yuan around, many things can be easily detected.
No one expected him to act so quickly. While his superiors were still holding various meetings to discuss whether to advance the plan, he had already selected the target for implementation.
Shen Ke and Lao Xun have a better relationship. Brother Yuan is always wary of him because he intentionally or unintentionally stirs up trouble between the two behind their backs, so Brother Yuan dislikes him very much. However, because of his brother Lao Xun, he reluctantly turns a blind eye to him.
Shen Ke knew that Brother Yuan was already suspicious of him, but he had not yet linked them to the undercover agents sent by the police. After all, they were just small minions under this huge organization. Even if they were arrested by the police, they would only think it was for fraud or other crimes, and would never think that the police had targeted them.
But if he wants to infiltrate this transnational illegal organization, Shen Ke must always get close to Boss Yang. With Brother Yuan around, his identity will be discovered sooner or later.
He and Brother Yuan did not have a friendly relationship, so Brother Yuan did not tell him about the plan, so when he saw the young woman at the "base" one day, he was a little confused.
People like them always avoid dealing with strangers. As far as he knows, there is no such person in their gang. Could he be someone sent by Boss Yang?
Soon, Shen Ke gave up this idea because Brother Yuan's attitude towards her was too condescending. He spoke in a tone of command, without trying to please the people above him or protect his own people. It was as if a superior treated his subordinates with a self-righteous attitude.
Shen Ke collected his thoughts calmly, intending to test the identity and background of this person, but he did not notice the surprise and shock on the young woman's face when she saw him.
The young woman had a good memory and she remembered seeing him in the Star Sea one night five years ago.
She was not yet an adult at that time, but fortunately, a 'customer' she knew was acquainted with the manager of Xinghai. Relying on this connection, she successfully entered Xinghai and helped out in the logistics department without violating the labor law.
Xinghai was an upscale club, and most of its visitors were either wealthy or noble. Once people became wealthy and experienced more, their spirits became empty. The simple desire for consumption had already aroused the stimulation brought by their senses, so these people were prone to all five vices.
The boss behind the club seems to have a strong background, and every time the police come to search, they will get wind of it in advance.
It was the same that time, the police returned empty-handed, and in the crowd, she saw Shen Ke, who was fully armed. Although the other party did not show his face, the small mole on his left eyelid and the determined eyes made him more restrained than before, but the temperament of a policeman could not be faked.
It's like a cat is always a cat, even if it disguises itself as a mouse, it is difficult to completely integrate. Just like when it comes to contraband, they have disgust and hatred from the bottom of their hearts, and they cannot be fake. Even if they disguise themselves well, the young woman still has an amazing intuition.
This person is an undercover agent sent by the police!
After all, the young woman had not received formal training and did not have extraordinary acting skills, so Brother Yuan keenly noticed her abnormality.
He had always been suspicious of Shen Ke, but he only thought that Shen Ke wanted to sow discord between him and Lao Xun so that he could take advantage of the opportunity to get promoted. But he didn't think about how many years Lao Xun had known him, so how could he be provoked by a few words from others?
Brother Yuan didn't take Shen Ke seriously at all. He treated him like an annoying fly that he could get rid of when the chance arose. The only thing that made it difficult for him was that Old Xun trusted this newcomer too much.
Brother Yuan stared at the young woman with a sharp gaze: "Why are you panicking?" He glanced at Shen Ke, as if he had something in mind, but he hadn't fully connected the dots yet.
The young woman had experienced Brother Yuan's vicious methods and was extremely afraid of him.
She knew she should report him for her brother's sake and her own future, but somehow she couldn't help but think of the two young police officers who had escorted her home that night. They lived in bright, promising lives, and were full of ambition. The word "police" seemed to imbue them with a sacred sense of justice, making them willingly dedicate their lives to serving their country and its people.
The young woman was frightened and panicked. She pretended to have an addiction attack, with her hands shaking, breathing rapidly, and she kept shouting for the goods.
Brother Yuan had seen too many corrupt people like this. He put aside his suspicions, but still felt that something was strange, but he had no clue what to do.
After the young woman was completely embarrassed and humiliated, Brother Yuan gave her a helping hand, like feeding a dog, and threw a bag of things to her. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. You know what to do, right?"
The young woman sucked the thing, and after she recovered for a long time, she nodded gratefully: "I know, I know, but I've encountered some difficulties, can you..." She didn't finish her words, obviously not wanting others to know.
Brother Yuan frowned and said nothing.
The Xiao Group had been making a big fuss these days, and he had just found out that the fat sheep was actually the son of the chairman of the Xiao Group.
The Xiao Group has had contact with the country recently. If we take action against anyone in the Xiao family, we will probably be completely exposed to the police.
He was a very cautious person. He originally planned to give up this plan, but Boss Yang heard from somewhere that he was planning to take action against the Xiao family, and actually chose to agree and asked him to kidnap the fat sheep.
After the matter is accomplished, the higher-ups will give him a large sum of money and arrange for him and his family to leave the country. At that time, they will be free and the police and the Xiao family will have no way to deal with them.
Not everyone wants to live on the edge of a knife. Brother Yuan was tired of this life of hiding like a sewer rat. Leaving was a good thing for him. Besides, he couldn't stop doing business abroad. These things were illegal in China, often even punishable by death, but they were legal industries abroad, and the risks were reduced.
The only thing that made him feel embarrassed was that the people above him did not let Lao Xun get involved in this matter. In other words, once something happened, Lao Xun would be in a very dangerous situation.
His superiors did not give him the opportunity to choose. This organization has always been domineering. If he does not obey, the end that awaits him will not be good. It is also a test given to him by the organization to see whether he chooses to be loyal to the organization or to his brothers.
If he chose the former, the organization would appreciate his loyalty, but would also be wary of him. After all, if he could abandon his childhood friend, who would dare to use him with confidence? Lao Xun was simple-minded. If he officially became an organization member, the organization would worry that given their relationship, Lao Xun would bring trouble to the organization.
Brother Yuan had no intention of abandoning his brother. He had been hesitant to take any action because he was thinking about how to complete the above task while keeping his brother.
He didn't know that the people above also gave Lao Xun the same choice, and specifically told him that the two were in a competitive relationship, and there was only one spot to officially join the organization, and it depended on his choice.
This instruction was very sudden, and Brother Yuan had not yet made a good connection with the young woman. At present, Shen Ke was still there, and Brother Yuan had not thought of taking him away with him. He even planned to send him in after the matter was completed, as the price for provoking.
Brother Yuan didn’t say this in front of Shen Ke, but looked at Shen Ke: “What do you want?”
The reason why Shen Ke came here was entirely because of Lao Xun's idea.
Old Xun couldn't bring himself to kill his brother, so he decided to test the waters and see what Brother Yuan was up to. Ultimately, he didn't trust his brother. If they had been honest, there wouldn't be the current intrigue.
There is only one opportunity and only one quota. Those who are abandoned will either be arrested by the police or cleaned out by the organization.
Between the two men, Old Xun chose himself, and naturally assumed Brother Yuan would think the same. However, after all, they had been friends for many years, and in terms of scheming and intelligence, Old Xun felt he could not match the other. Before Brother Yuan could make a move on him, he decided to strike first!
The above actions were kept secret, and Shen Ke didn't know that before he even made a move, the two brothers had already become enemies.
He stated his purpose: "Tomorrow is Brother Xun's birthday, and he wants you to come over for a drink."
Old Xun has a dissolute private life, but Brother Yuan hates it. To him, sexual desire can make people lose their guard and easily lose their rationality, so the two do not live together.
Brother Yuan never thought that his brother had already planned to attack him. He was not on guard at all. He nodded slightly to show that he already knew.
Seeing that Brother Yuan seemed to be sending the guest away, Shen Ke did not stay any longer. He had already noted down the young woman's appearance and would report it to the organization for investigation when he found an opportunity.
When he saw Lao Xun, Shen Ke made it clear that he had conveyed his message, but he didn't know why Lao Xun, who was always careless, actually started to inquire about Brother Yuan's expression and movements.
Shen Ke speculated in his heart, could it be that there was a rift between the two brothers? But on the surface, he just acted puzzled according to his character.
Lao Xun trusts Shen Ke, but not to the point of being open-hearted. On the contrary, he trusts Brother Yuan more than Shen Ke. But isn't he about to completely turn against his brother now?
When he thought about taking action against his brother who he had been close to since childhood, Old Xun felt a little annoyed and his tone was a little bad. He was a person who could not control his emotions.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
It was this sentence that confirmed Shen Ke’s guess.
He pretended to recall, "There's nothing unusual." He paused, as if thinking of something, and hesitated. "When I walked over, Brother Yuan was talking to a strange woman, as if he was making arrangements. He stopped talking as soon as I approached, and seemed a little wary of my presence."
Shen Ke hadn't lied, he had simply switched concepts. Brother Yuan's wariness of him stemmed from his dislike for him, but there was no need to elaborate on this matter with Old Xun; as long as it could create some distance between the two brothers, it would be enough.
As expected, after hearing this, Old Xun's face turned as dark as iron and he remained very silent, but he was secretly making a cruel move.
In this case, it’s no wonder he did that.
