Chapter 169: An Affair In Secret
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
But what made Will Sr. apprehensive was that these lunatics were in such a big formation when they moved. He didn’t want to really go head to head with them, so the most important thing now was to clear himself of suspicion. Therefore, he was as mean as he could be when he scolded people.
Obviously, Will Sr.’s strategy had worked. They had been monitoring and eavesdropping on him for a week. Every day, they had heard him scold the staff in the store, the customers, the men in black, and the bounty hunters. They had heard so much that their ears had grown calluses, but they had not seen any unusual movements from him. Finally, they had determined that an old man with a bad temper, stupid, and difficult to deal with could not have anything to do with the person who had stolen the gemstone, so they withdrew
everyone.
However, what they didn’t know was that Will Sr., who they despised, had secretly done many great things under their surveillance.
First of all, he communicated with Caroline when he took a shower at home and told her what he knew. At the same time, he promised her that he would settle the follow-up soon and wire the money to the secret account she left behind.
The second thing was to send a secret code to the customer who placed the order and tell them which toy to put the gemstone in. He asked the customer to arrange for someone to buy the toys and transfer the gemstone.
In order to prevent the client from going back on his word, he inadvertently mentioned when he was contacting the client, “This bounty hunter is really capable. A few days after they found out about the mission, they sneaked into the underground auction house and stole the gemstone without anyone knowing.”
In other words, if you dared to delay the payment for such a powerful person, the other party might find you very quickly and personally ask for it.
The client was obviously shocked by his words, and after confirming that the gemstone was real, he transferred the money over.
After Will Sr. confirmed that the money had been transferred to his account, he didn’t delay and immediately transferred Caroline’s commission to her. Caroline’s account instantly became much richer.
Will Sr. had used the opportunity of washing clothes to throw the bug into the washing machine. Without the other party’s bug and ear wire, he could finally communicate with Caroline openly.
The risk of this mission was indeed very high. Didn’t you see that he almost lost his life as an agent? However, the commission was indeed very generous. It could be said that the commission for this order alone was almost equivalent to three years of his previous income.
It was no wonder that the men in black looked down on Will Sr.. The jobs he had taken over before were basically trivial. Will Sr. grinned widely when he saw that his account had an additional single-digit amount.
[Hey, it’s been a pleasure working with you this time. I wonder if you’re planning to do something big in the near future?] he asked tentatively.
Originally, Will Sr. had wanted to publicize the matter of borrowing the sapphire to raise his status as an intermediary, but now that the group of men in black were still frantically looking for the person, he didn’t want to block the muzzle, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow the matter.
Since Caroline was so capable, there would always be a second one. If he let her take on a bigger role, her reputation would still be able to rise. Then, he would be more confident when he talked to others about the increase in the commission.
The two of them contacted each other through the dark net. After Caroline saw Will Sr.’s invitation, she raised her head and looked at Edwin, who was busy at his desk. She hesitated for a moment and rejected him. [Let’s talk about it later.
It’s time for us to hide.]
What Caroline said was not wrong. After all, those people had not given up on searching for the sapphire. It was not easy for Will Sr. to escape from their pursuit. If a particularly powerful person jumped out from under him at this time, she was afraid that they would be suspicious again.
Edwin moved to the villa diagonally across from them in advance. After that, he became exceptionally clingy these few days. Other than sleeping time, he had to make sure that she was in front of him at all times. Even if he was working, he hoped that Caroline would be by his side.
Even on the day Caroline received Will Sr.’s distress signal, she finally found an excuse to shake off her bodyguards and leave.
Caroline still didn’t know that her act of stealing the gemstone had been discovered by him, so she didn’t know Edwin’s intentions. She only thought that after he got engaged, their relationship became closer, so he revealed some of his true nature, and became more overbearing and clingy.
Although Caroline was a little uncomfortable with his behavior, she wasn’t sick of it. It was just that it was inconvenient when she wanted to do something bad secretly..
