Chapter 512: Chapter 318 Now I’m Truly a Double Agent!
Late at night, a few stars sparsely dotted the sky.
The sea breeze, with a faint salty and fishy smell, stirred the curtains in Lucas’s office.
Had this been a legitimate company, Lucas’s intense workload would have surely made him a model worker.
From morning to evening, his work for the day wasn’t complete until after Squirrel had left.
Huh—
Lucas let out a breath. His face, gloomy over the past few days, now bore a rare smile.
His secretary, Moli, poured him a glass of red wine. In the slightly tipsy atmosphere, he gently swirled his glass and sighed, “This is one of the few pieces of good news in half a year.”
Ever since he had become Lin Chuan’s enemy, he had faced repeated setbacks.
Repeated failures would make even the most confident person start to doubt themselves.
That was the case for Lucas, as he deeply doubted whether he still had the ability to control the Morgan Group’s Asia-Pacific Branch.
At that moment, he looked at his secretary Moli, “Do you think I am still the same as before?”
Secretary Moli, who had been standing by, looked at Lucas. “You have always been the general manager.”
“How about compared to me yesterday?” Lucas asked casually.
Secretary Moli shook her head, not quite understanding the implication. “General manager, weren’t you the same yesterday and today?”
Lucas shook his head in self-mockery, knowing in his heart that Moli, as a secretary, could not understand his question.
It was good to have such a secretary; too much intelligence could be a detriment.
After all, a secretary who dealt with too many affairs knew too much.
“Any movement from the Baisheng side?” Lucas refocused on work.
Secretary Moli immediately took out her notebook that she carried with her and flipped through it.
Then, she replied, “So far, Baisheng Group has followed our original plan with no further messages.”
Lucas sipped his red wine and nodded. “What stage are we at now?”
Secretary Moli flipped through her notebook again, carefully checked it, and confirmed, “Now we need to send over a group of hackers to support the Baisheng Group.”
Lucas slapped his forehead.
Yes.
His initial cooperation with Chairman Zhao of Baisheng Group was in the field of cyber operations.
Unlike other major criminal organizations, Baisheng Group did not have an outstanding team of hackers; it’s not that they hadn’t cultivated one, but rather that they had put more energy into fraudulent actions like telephone scams and gambling, and their hackers were engaged in these areas.
Top hackers generally disdained these pursuits.
Therefore, the hackers at Baisheng Group were just barely sufficient.
As for withstanding Lin Chuan, that was a fool’s dream.
Lucas was pleased to see Baisheng Group sticking its head out; he just needed to sit behind the scenes, providing hacker talent, to achieve his goals.
Excellent!
“Did I publish the list I decided on earlier?” Lucas looked at Secretary Moli.
Moli nodded, “You appointed seven hackers, led by Willip.”
Lucas pondered for a while, then suggested, “Add that young man from earlier, let him lead, and set off with me tomorrow.”
Moli hesitated slightly but didn’t say anything; she nodded, “Alright, I’ll post the notice right away.”
A sly smile appeared on Lucas’s lips.
This move undoubtedly showed special consideration for Squirrel and was a way to groom him.
Lucas knew that, at the moment, Lin Chuan was probably the best hacker out there.
If Squirrel could face the best hacker and forcibly retrieve Morgan Group’s relevant data, his potential was undoubtedly great. If given more opportunities to develop, he might become an even stronger hacker than Lin Chuan.
Lucas thought, at that time, Squirrel would be his strongest blade!
A knife sharp beyond compare!
After Secretary Moli left the office.
Lucas took out his cell phone and dialed Chairman Zhao of Baisheng Group.
Dial tone.
“Chairman Zhao, do you have time this evening?” Lucas asked cheerfully.
From Chairman Zhao’s side, chirping voices faintly reached him; he laughed, “Mr. Lucas, I am always available for your calls.”
“Hahaha.”
Lucas felt pleased and laughed, “Chairman Zhao, regarding our cooperation, I think I’m more confident now.”
“Oh?”
Chairman Zhao sounded surprised, “Mr. Lucas, have you made any significant breakthrough?”
“I’ve slightly enhanced my team of hackers; this time around, Chairman Zhao, just enjoy the art of hacking,” Lucas boasted a bit.
These words were intended for Chairman Zhao.
In reality, they were also meant for himself.
Commonly known as bragging.
First a self-pep talk to boost morale.
“I am very much looking forward to the arrival of Mr. Lucas’s team of hackers,” Chairman Zhao laughed heartily, “When will they join us in our great endeavor?”
“Tomorrow.”
Lucas said decisively.
He didn’t want to wait any longer!
He desperately needed a victory, urgently wanted to defeat Lin Chuan, and then show himself and the headquarters that he was still the spirited, assertive Lucas.
This victory was too important!
“Very well!”
Chairman Zhao was also thrilled.
The sooner, the better!
