359 Yousre Positively Wicked (1/2)
The news that Ye Shuang had gotten hold of the chip soon became common knowledge. Then again, those who found out were those that would have eventually found out anyway, individuals like Madam Grace and Edward.
The former temporarily had not made her move—she probably had not found the opening to retrieve the item without alerting Ye Shuang of her hand. The latter did not have that concern and was not as polite for that matter. With a call, he requested for a share of information.
”Impossible!” Ye Shuang denied the request firmly and refused to budge. ”Why would I share such sensitive information with you‽”
Edward fought for his right, although it was with that lazy tone of his. ”But I have shared my important information with you, haven't I?”
In other words, I scratched your back, so now you have to scrub mine, don't you understand that simple philosophy?
”That was because you were afraid that we might expose you to others.” Ye Shuang went for the weakness in Edward's argument. ”And I know what you're going to say. We're supposed to be allies, aren't we? Well, you aren't wrong about that, but that is only limited to the things related to the organization. The situation now is different. The information contained within this chip pertains to a dangerous military firearms issue, and Brother Han said that it cannot be shared with someone like you.”
”Wait a minute, what does he mean by someone like me?” Edward was silent for a few seconds.
In an objective tone, Ye Shuang concluded with regards for the other person's fragile ego, ”He means a fence-sitter like yourself who might appear to be an ally at the moment but would not hesitate to sell us out at the most crucial moment for the sake of personal gains.”
After a pause, considering the man's unimaginably large desire for revenge, Ye Shuang added, ”Or at least that was what Brother Han told me.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
Ha ha, very nice.
After ending the call with Edward, Ye Shuang blinked and turned to look at Han Chu, who was staring at her. ”Brother Han, why are you looking at me like that?”
”Nothing.” It's just amusing how easily you were able to throw me under the bus.
Han Chu silently lowered his eyes and added softly, ”Tony's plane ticket has already been booked, so he'll probably arrive tonight. Remember to fetch the guy… Other than that, since Su Zheng and I need to go and find the local leader, my schedule for the next few days might be rather chaotic. Should you and Tony fail to find me at home, just tell him what to do directly, there's no need to wait for me to return.”
Finding the local leader at said person's city was not easy. After all, not every country or a city would have some kind of underground king that had all resources in his grasp so that the main character could defeat him to easily advance the plot.
The head of the local goons that Han Chu mentioned was merely someone who was most familiar with the situation in the city. To see it from Han Chu's perspective, such an individual was like another type of talent agent and had access to unimaginable local connections.
Which notable foreigner had arrived recently; which alley was the hide-out for which gang; which warehouse had seen too much suspicious activity, pointing toward a smuggling ring… Such small details were the tools of the trade for the leader of the local goons. Therefore, to get to know the local situation in Feng Yuan City, the most expedient way was to ask such individuals.
