64 Second Mission (1/2)
”What do you mean you couldn't bring cash? I thought there is nothing that Guan Family can't do.” Wuxing called out while glaring at the Shadow when he reached out to him with a card in his hand.
They agreed on one million in cash but they came back to him with a debit card which could be easily traced by them if they wanted to. The whole point of the cash was to avoid exactly that. It was not a surprise that Wuxing was mad as his plans became complicated now.
It was already another day and Wuxing sent Dongmei to work knowing that Shadow will come back with a suitcase of money that day. Wuxing wanted to set everything up just like he planned and make shadow believe he was working according to the deal, but they also quickly broke the rules.
”I was taking cash out of the bank when suddenly a white minivan drove up to me and a few guys with machine guns came out, aiming right at me. To think I would be robbed in such an unlucky way. If there were less than three of them I would probably be able to resist but I couldn't handle more.” Shadow shrugged and explained, placing the debit card on the table.
'Bullshit… They probably want to track me later and monitor me…' Wuxing immediately cursed in his mind while still glaring at Shadow, not happy with such a situation.
Seeing an unhappy Wuxing, Shadow sighed, having no choice but to lie to him. He couldn't say that Guan Dong changed his mind yesterday and gave him new orders. He felt like giving cash was too much, thinking that Wuxing would still take the deal if the money were on the card instead.
”The money was already transferred onto the card. It was created under your name so you can use it however you like.” Shadow said as he pushed the card on the table after hearing no response from Wuxing before passing him another note with some letters and numbers on them, saying, ”This is the login and password to the bank. If you want, you can change it so we can't trace what you buy in the future. This is the most I can do.”
”Was that Guan Dong's call as well? I don't think he would agree to it.” Wuxing asked surprised after finally taking the card and the paper, checking it out. As long as there were no traces at all, he would be fine. After all, he would have to buy a new identity, passport and many others that could allow him to travel, just in time to enter the special training program and get into the Seven Stars again.
”It's because he didn't. I just like keeping my word and this is the only thing I can do to help a fellow Mercenary. The bank I set the account on belongs to Seven Stars so Guan Family will have a hard time finding you if you really plan to run away.” Shadow explained his reasons with a smile, placing one leg on the other.
”Aren't you working for Guan Family?” Wuxing asked as he went to take Dongmei's phone from the drawer and started logging to the bank. He had to check if the money was really on the card anyway while also checking any other details about it.
”I am. But I'm also working for Seven Stars too. I'm sweating for Guan Family as I'm in debt to Guan Dong from saving me once, but that doesn't mean that I will follow all of his orders if I don't like something.” Shadow explained further, being more like a mercenary rather than a loyal servant. He didn't mind talking to Wuxing about it knowing that it definitely wasn't in Wuxing's interest to bust him.
Without waiting for Wuxing to reply, he added to make it clear, ”Of course, it doesn't mean I will turn a blind eye on everything else. I still have to make sure that the rest of the deal will be carried out. Hope you won't mind that small mishap that happened with the money.”
”Well, I guess I don't mind it. Everything works fine. I already changed the password. Won't you get in trouble for that later?” Wuxing put the phone into his pocket and asked, thinking it was quite risky for Shadow to do such stunts for him.
”Nah, I'm good. Guan Dong needs me.” Shadow shook his head while smiling mysteriously and finally stood up, planning on leaving soon. Upon departing, he called out with his attitude changed back to normal, ”I will be watching. Hope you can stay gentle with Miss Dongmei. She is a very important character that cannot be hurt in any way. If you make her hate men, you won't have a happy life as Guan Dong will hunt you down.”
Wuxing couldn't help but nod his head and remind Shadow, continuing to play his game, ”I know. I will definitely be gentle. Don't let her see you.” Without saying anything, Shadow left through the balcony, already knowing he couldn't be seen by anyone. If he wasn't a master of camouflage, he would not be called Shadow.
'I guess, I have two days to convince them that Dongmei doesn't love me anymore. I hope her acting is still on a high level…' Wuxing commented while looking at the card in his hand. Two of the last stages in his plan were about to start. There was no going back anymore.
He was now glad that he involved Dongmei in his plan and so far everything went smoothly. Wuxing didn't expect any changes with the money but it turned out to be a false alarm thanks to the Shadow. The only thing that was unpredictable was Devil Face as Wuxing never knew when he would pop out, planning on breaking everything into pieces.
