Chapter 59 Gu Sheng needed a little something. ...
Gu Sheng needs a little gadget.
Now, because he's being closely watched, he doesn't dare to contact Chen An anymore.
The task of purchasing things should be left to someone else.
Gu Sheng pulled out "Knight 11's" contact information and stared silently at the screen.
The people in the Blue Moon Council are a bit too useful.
It would be a waste not to use them, but using them would feel like being too dependent on them.
Gu Sheng sighed, swiped his finger across the screen, and pulled up Xiao Yi's contact information.
Gu Sheng sent Xiao Yi a list, which didn't actually contain many items. He told Xiao Yi to prepare the items and bring them to him without being discovered by anyone.
The reason he sent it to Xiao Yi was because Gu Sheng had figured something out.
Xia Yunzhou was new to City A after all, and even if he had connections everywhere, there would always be things he missed.
Xiao Yi came from the slums and knew all sorts of people. In City A, it would be quite easy for him to avoid Xia Yunzhou's eyes and ears.
After receiving Xiao Yi's affirmative reply, Gu Sheng turned on his computer and stretched his fingers.
He has two more days.
We're a bit pressed for time, we need to hurry.
Gu Sheng relaxed his body, letting his fingers dance across the keyboard.
He stared at the lines of code on the screen that he didn't even recognize.
In fact, Gu Sheng had also thought about learning programming skills; he couldn't always rely on his physical instincts.
The result was that they couldn't learn it; they simply couldn't learn it.
He could only learn a little bit of the basics; he really couldn't understand anything more advanced.
Every time Gu Sheng thought of this, he wanted to ask the system when it would respond to him and send him home.
Time flies.
Gu Sheng sat in front of the computer all day until Xiao Yi arrived.
Xiao Yi was very cautious; he disguised himself as a food delivery worker.
After entering the house, Xiao Yi handed Gu Sheng the things he wanted, then frowned and said, "Do you need me to take care of those guys outside?"
Gu Sheng looked down and counted the items Xiao Yi had brought, saying casually, "No need, those are Xia Yunzhou's people. If he wants to see them, let him see them."
Xiao Yi's face darkened: "I don't know what's wrong with Cheng Ruhui, that he's willing to hand over the position of bank manager to someone of unknown origin."
"Everything is correct." Gu Sheng finished checking the items, then looked up and said, "Cheng Ruhui is long dead."
Xiao Yi's eyes widened slightly: "When? Didn't Cheng Ruhui announce that he was going to retire to a private island?"
Gu Sheng didn't hide what he knew; after all, it was a bank matter, not his.
"Cheng Ruhui died long before that. The last person you saw was an imposter."
Gu Sheng's tone was as calm as if he were talking about the weather, but it made Xiao Yi's pupils suddenly contract.
Xiao Yi's mind raced through the details he had overlooked.
He recalled that Cheng Ruhui had indeed done some inappropriate things during his last few days at the bank.
But is it possible for him to know such a thing?
Was Gu Sheng telling him all this to remind him that Xia Yunzhou was more dangerous than he thought?
What does this mean?
It certainly means trust; this is Gu Sheng's trust in him.
His decision to follow Gu Sheng proved to be the right one.
Gu Sheng never looked up at Xiao Yi, so he didn't know that Xiao Yi had completely misunderstood.
Gu Sheng asked, "Have you seen Wen Yan recently?"
Xiao Yi raised his head: "No, I've let you down. Wen Yan has been busy with something lately, and it's hard to see her."
Gu Sheng was indeed somewhat disappointed, but this was within his expectations.
Noticing Gu Sheng's change in mood, Xiao Yi's eyes darkened: "Actually, there's no need to go to so much trouble. If Wen Yan is getting in your way, I can get rid of him for you. And that Xia Yunzhou, anyone you don't want to see again, I can make them disappear."
Gu Sheng looked at Xiao Yi and saw the almost fanatical loyalty in Xiao Yi's eyes. Xiao Yi looked at Gu Sheng seriously, waiting for his command.
Gu Sheng didn't believe Xiao Yi could take care of those two people, but he had no doubt that Xiao Yi would go forward without hesitation, even knowing that death awaited him, just by giving the word.
Gu Sheng's gaze softened slightly, and his tone carried a hint of helplessness: "No need. You just need to do your job as an executive officer. I'll handle the rest myself."
Xiao Yi's face visibly showed frustration, and his eyes dimmed: "Why do you never use me?"
Gu Sheng waved the things Xiao Yi had brought: "Why aren't we using them? Aren't we using them now?"
Xiao Yi shook his head: "No, that's not it. Anyone can do that."
“No,” Gu Sheng said seriously, “it’s not easy to evade Xia Yunzhou’s surveillance.”
However, Gu Sheng knew that saying only these things would not convince Xiao Yi, so he changed to a way that Xiao Yi could understand: "What I mean is, do what you are good at, and don't do things that will humiliate you."
Gu Sheng curled his lips into a smile: "Or are you dissatisfied with my arrangements? Are you tired of being the executive officer's assistant?"
Before Gu Sheng could finish speaking, Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said urgently, "No, no, how could I...?"
He lowered his head, showing a submissive posture: "You misunderstand. I will do my best to carry out any of your orders. I have overstepped my bounds, I am sorry."
Gu Sheng waved his hand: "Okay, go back now. I'll call you again if I need anything."
Xiao Yi nodded slightly to Gu Sheng and then left the room.
After Xiao Yi left, Gu Sheng went to the window again and lifted the curtains.
Judging from the expressions of the people on the street corner, they hadn't noticed Xiao Yi's arrival, nor did they know he had already left.
That's good.
Gu Sheng took out the things Xiao Yi had brought and started making a small gadget that he would need later.
Having not slept all night, Gu Sheng successfully finished making that little gadget.
It was about the size of a finger joint and looked like a capacitor.
In fact, it was a small receiver, and inside it was a small program written by Gu Sheng.
That program isn't very useful; it only temporarily intrudes into the power grid control system and changes the direction of the current.
With the most important thing settled, Gu Sheng went back to sleep and slept until evening.
After getting up, I washed up and ate something.
Gu Sheng put the little gadget in his pocket and left the room.
Upon noticing Gu Sheng's appearance, the people at the street corner immediately followed.
Gu Sheng let them follow him.
Gu Sheng arrived at that familiar bar, ultimately needing some help from the Blue Moon Council.
He pushed open the door and immediately saw an old acquaintance behind the bar.
The bartender was about to say something when he saw Gu Sheng, but Gu Sheng stopped him with a look.
The bartender immediately noticed the group of people who walked in behind Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng walked towards the bar, and the group found a booth with a good view and sat down, their eyes occasionally glancing at Gu Sheng.
As the bartender tidied the bar, he greeted customers warmly, "What would you like to order, sir?"
Gu Sheng sat opposite the bartender: "Just give me whatever you want to start."
The bartender picked up the glass and said, "Alright, please wait a moment."
As the bartender poured drinks into the glasses, he whispered where the men couldn't see him, "Are you in trouble?" He glanced at the group, "Do you need to shake them off? Or, just make them disappear?"
Judging from the bartender's tone, he clearly preferred the latter.
Gu Sheng frowned slightly. Why do they all like fighting and killing so much?
He even felt a little sorry for the men following behind him; everyone wanted to get rid of them.
Gu Sheng said softly, "No need, it'll still be useful."
The bartender raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
He asked, "You didn't come here just to drink, did you?" After all, he could tell that Gu Sheng didn't like drinking.
As he spoke, he handed the prepared drink to Gu Sheng and then said loudly, "Please try this. It's a new drink I recently developed. Please give me your feedback."
Gu Sheng picked up the glass, took a sip, and his eyes lit up instantly: "Delicious." It was sweet and bubbly, tasting like a carbonated drink.
Actually, as a cocktail, this drink is definitely not considered delicious by bartenders, but for someone like Gu Sheng who doesn't like drinking, it is indeed delicious.
This drink was specially made for Gu Sheng by the bartender.
Hearing Gu Sheng's praise, the bartender smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."
Gu Shengfang put down his wine glass, along with the "capacitor" he had made overnight.
Gu Sheng whispered, "Do you know anything about Baiyu Biotechnology?"
The bartender said, "Of course I know about Baiyu Biotechnology, but if you want more details..."
He paused for a moment: "If you need it, you can find out right away."
It seems they don't know.
The bartender, an information broker, was unaware that the company was connected to the organization behind the bank; it seems this company was very well hidden.
Gu Sheng said, "Then let's go and find out about this," he pointed to the "capacitor," "and replace this one in the power distribution room of Baiyu Biotechnology headquarters building."
The bartender couldn't see anything special about the "capacitor," but since it was something Gu Sheng wanted to do, he naturally supported it unconditionally.
The bartender took away the glass in front of Gu Sheng and the "capacitor".
Then he said, "Would you like anything else?"
Gu Sheng said, "Another one of the same, please," and added meaningfully, "Quickly."
The bartender smiled and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
As he spoke, Gu Sheng glanced at the people behind him through the reflection in the mirror. They hadn't noticed the conversation that had just taken place there.
Why is it so satisfying to cause trouble right under the enemy's nose?
Xia Yunzhou sent people to keep an eye on him, but they found nothing.
All the important things have been taken care of; now all that's left is to wait.
He needs to delay for two more days until the bartender gets things sorted out, then the matter can be resolved.
Gu Sheng stayed at the bar until very late before leaving, drinking glass after glass as if he were troubled by something.
Then he successfully got a hangover.
When Xia Yunzhou called the next day, Gu Sheng was still asleep.
Who is it?
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Gu Sheng glanced at the caller ID: "President Xia?"
Xia Yunzhou sneered: "Shouldn't you be setting off today?"
Gu Sheng rubbed his throbbing temples and said, "It doesn't seem to be working. My head is killing me."
Xia Yunzhou's anger subsided after Gu Sheng asked, "You drank all night yesterday?"
Gu Sheng said, "Isn't this just to give myself some courage?"
"So, are you all fit now?"
"I'm all better now, but my head really hurts. Let me rest for another day. It won't make a difference if I take another day."
Xia Yunzhou remained silent for a moment before finally choosing to compromise. After all, those who were with Gu Sheng had seen that Gu Sheng had indeed drunk a lot of alcohol.
In the end, Gu Sheng was brought back by those people.
Xia Yunzhou gave Gu Sheng a sarcastic remark, telling him to get some rest, and then hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yunzhou stared at his phone for a long time.
He investigated everyone in City A who was connected with Gu Sheng.
No abnormalities were found.
After Gu Sheng went into that bar last night, he had someone investigate it. The investigation revealed that the bar owner was an information broker.
This isn't surprising, considering this is City A, and bars operate legally and compliantly.
According to the person who was following Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng did not buy any intelligence last night; he simply went to get drunk.
Further investigation revealed no connection between Gu Sheng and that bar.
Based on the information found, it seems that Gu Sheng simply went into any bar at random, and that choosing this bar was just a coincidence.
But for some reason, Xia Yunzhou always had a sense of unease in his heart.
It seems something bad is happening.
