Chapter 1239: Chapter 616 Thief Cries Thief, Suppression

Sitting in the office, Yan Fei, holding the mouse, was aimlessly clicking around on the computer when he suddenly saw a piece of news that made his eyes light up.

Then he muttered to himself: "Having the internet is great, news spreads so fast!"

Muttering to himself, he had already picked up the phone, dialed a number, and asked in a secretive tone, "Senior Brother Wang, what are you up to?"

Wang Jiuming was very puzzled: "Xiao Fei, what’s up with you? Why are you speaking so softly?"

Yan Fei chuckled, "I just saw some great news online, it said that in Japan, a lot of laboratories have been robbed."

"Ha!" Wang Jiuming was amused and incredulous. "How is that good news?"

"How could it not be good news?" Yan Fei argued confidently. "I’m planning to set up a lab and don’t want to invest too much initially. If these items are stolen, don’t the thieves have to sell them off? If we could get in touch and buy these stolen equipment pieces, wouldn’t that save a lot of money? By the way, it’s not illegal to secretly buy and use these foreign stolen goods, right?"

"Then go ahead and buy them!" Wang Jiuming felt he was really growing old, unable to keep up with his junior’s bizarre ideas. "If you really manage to buy those devices, not only is it not illegal, but the relevant departments might even commend you. Many of those devices and instruments are stuff we can’t even buy domestically. But tell me, why are you calling me about this?"

"I’m just asking if you have any way to get in touch with those stolen goods?"

"Pfft!" Probably Wang Jiuming was drinking tea in his office when he heard this and immediately spit out his tea. "If I had that kind of capability, why would I still be messing around in business? I’d be traveling around the world dealing in these high-end devices. I think you should still contact the relevant departments; they might have some connections..."

"Oh!" Yan Fei responded. "I’ll go ask around; luckily I do know someone, or else I wouldn’t even know where to start! I won’t disturb you any longer, Senior Brother Wang. Keep busy!"

With a pop, Wang Jiuming heard the beeping sound of the phone hanging up.

Now Wang Jiuming was worried; he had just casually mentioned it, who could have thought that his junior actually had a way to ask the authorities, and it actually gave him a shock.

So while Yan Fei was considering whether to immediately make another call, Wang Jiuming called him back; just after picking up, he heard Wang Jiuming’s somewhat anxious voice: "Look, junior, don’t mess around! Not only is the whole world paying attention to this matter right now, I reckon our higher-ups are also taking it very seriously. You just randomly calling them up, isn’t that causing trouble? I’ve been watching the news for a long time now, aliens have even popped up, don’t get involved!"

"How is this getting involved? They lost their stuff because they didn’t keep an eye on it; who can they blame?" Yan Fei had his own solid reasons. "I just want to buy some second-hand equipment to save money; it’s not our own family’s stuff that got lost. What’s wrong with using some cheaper goods? Didn’t you also say that buying them back would be a meritorious deed? What’s wrong with asking?"

Wang Jiuming really didn’t know how to refute him. Thinking it over, his junior was in a rural area running a cattle farm; even if he really had a connection and asked someone, others would probably think he was daydreaming. With this thought, he reminded him again: "Junior, you’d better be careful. Are you sure the person you know is from the relevant department? Be careful not to be deceived."

"Don’t worry, absolutely." Yan Fei was very sure. "I’m just asking about it, whether it works out is another matter. No harm in trying, right? Anyway, my lab isn’t even set up yet!"

"Alright then, just be careful!" Wang Jiuming didn’t have much else to say, having said all that needed to be said.

Yan Fei was also very calm about it, his own blatant ’thief crying stop thief’, not worried about others suspecting him of anything, chuckling to himself endlessly—who would have thought that in the mainland, a rural cattle farm ’local tycoon’ could be connected to such a sensational case? At most, as Wang Jiuming thought, this was just the wild idea of a small landlord with a ’frugal and thrifty’ glorious tradition.

After hanging up Wang Jiuming’s call, he made up his mind and dialed another number: "Hello, Director Pi. This is Yan Fei! The one raising cattle at Sancha River, remember me?"

How could he not remember? Such a young entrepreneur who started from scratch, who was especially capable of causing a stir—how many could there be in all of China?

When Director Pi asked him what the matter was, Yan Fei continued with his spiel: "Director Pi, I just saw on the news online that a lot of laboratories in Japan have been robbed!"

"Yes!" Director Pi was also baffled, not understanding why he was bringing up this matter out of the blue. "You’re not trying to sniff out some insider information, are you? I must tell you, we have a confidentiality system, knowing too much might not be good for you. Besides, what we know about this incident is pretty much the same as what you’ve seen online... "

"If you don’t know, you don’t know, still about as much as I’ve seen online." Yan Fei disdainfully said. "I wanted to ask you about something, but not about your secrets. I’m asking if there’s any way to buy back those stolen pieces of equipment? I’m planning to set up an experimental lab soon, and these devices are pretty expensive. I was thinking, buying second-hand might be cheaper?"
