Chapter 858: Chapter 858: What a Coincidence, Making Money Is My Specialty
“Mr. He.” The Caucasian man greeted him in impeccable Chinese, a warm and humble smile on his face, “I wonder if you’re getting used to this residence?”
He Jingyao put down his coffee, turned to look at the screen, and slightly curled his lips: “Not used to it. But does my preference matter to you, Mr. Lawrence?”
Lawrence, the head of the “Base” organization’s East Asia region, a refined and elegant…madman.
In fact, there isn’t a single member of this world’s most infamous terror-ist organization who isn’t a lunatic. These years, they have instilled fear across the globe with remarkable achievements.
Lawrence laughed: “You will grow to like it here.”
He Jingyao gave a noncommittal smile.
“Five days, I assume Mr. He, you must have decided by now.” Lawrence maintained a suave demeanor, “I’m eagerly awaiting your answer.”
He Jingyao raised an eyebrow: “I suppose, apart from cooperating with you, I have no other choice.”
“Yes, I’m glad you’ve realized that.” He sounded somewhat excited, “As long as you’re willing to join us, the entire country of Z will be ours to command.”
He Jingyao let out a cold laugh.
“Oh, Mr. He, in time, you’ll grow addicted to this feeling.” Lawrence regarded him warmly, “Initially, your president wanted me to get rid of you, but with such exceptional talent like yours, how could I bring myself to do it?”
“So, should I thank you for sparing me?” He Jingyao’s lips slightly curled up with a mocking undertone.
The last explosion in Yanzhou City was a threat orchestrated by Lawrence.
Zhuo Yuwei’s insane decision to let these lunatics into country Z signifies that without eliminating them, the nation will have no peace. When even the national apparatus is indifferent to their presence, He Jingyao understands that no matter how good his security is, it is futile, as it means living perpetually under terror.
Moreover, Lawrence has set his sights on him.
“Mr. He, I admire your methods and tactics.” Lawrence smiled, “Silent until the decisive moment, hitting precisely, striking at the root… I wonder if I used those idioms correctly. President Zhuo’s current predicament is exactly your handiwork, right? This makes me even more grateful that I didn’t rashly act against you back then.”
“What exactly do you need me to do?” He Jingyao interrupted him with slight impatience.
“Oh, right, I nearly forgot the main business.” Lawrence wasn’t annoyed by the interruption but smiled and said, “Firstly, I need you to ensure President Zhuo gets re-elected, after all, without his support, our work would be difficult, wouldn’t it?”
He Jingyao mockingly curled his lips: “Not surprising at all, what else?”
“Additionally, every year you need to plan at least ten operations, targeting high officials, wealthy merchants… I believe they would be willing to pay hefty sums for their safety.” Lawrence said gently, “After all, we have to eat, have many to feed, and need profits, don’t we?”
“Indeed.” He Jingyao nodded in agreement, “Coincidentally, making money is exactly what I’m best at.”
“Yes, speaking of which, I can’t help but admire you again.” Lawrence exaggerated his tone, making a praying gesture, “The thought of your joining makes me excited to the point of losing sleep. This must be the will of the Almighty.” Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
