Bro Actually Became a Secret Agent!

“Zheng, what do you mean by that?”

Wu Jie squinted his eyes and asked with a smile.

Zheng chuckled, “Wang Taixiong is already in jail, and he’ll probably never know the truth in his lifetime.”

“All those big shots who pooled their money for the investment, some ran away and others scattered.

No one is going to ask you for that 6.8 billion in your account!”

Wu Jie snorted silently, his gaze slowly softening.

“Do you think that money was to trap Wang Taixiong and the others?”

Zheng laughed, “Isn’t it?

But it doesn’t really matter anymore; there’s been no case opened for investigation.

I’m just personally very curious about how you managed it.”

“So many people watching vigilantly, patrolling sleeplessly through the night, and you were somehow able to make several tons of money disappear like a magic trick—truly incredible!”

“As for why I suspected you…

well, today the financial storm broke out, and the department conducted routine investigations into all suspicious individuals.

That’s when I saw all the bank accounts under your name!”

“I really didn’t expect it; so many people mocked you as a pretty boy who lives off of women, but in fact, you’re richer than most people.

To have tens of billions in cash deposits at such a young age—it’s really quite impressive!”

“Then I checked further, and you really made a big move.

You used large trailers to transport money to the bank for deposit.

Such a grand gesture—how could I not think of the first failed fundraising by Wang Taixiong and his group, the billion-dollar tragedy that went up in smoke?”

In the midst of their conversation.

Wu Jie closed the car door and offered a cigarette to Zheng.

He lit it and inhaled with familiar ease.

Zheng was clearly a standard heavy smoker.

The spark of the lighter flashed faintly, and a lot of smoke was drawn into his lungs.

His brows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

A puff of smoke emerged from his nostrils, and his smile grew even more brilliant.

“Liqun Fuchun Mountain Residence…

good cigarettes really are different!”

Wu Jie tossed the remaining almost-full pack directly to Zheng.

“I myself can’t bear to smoke something this expensive!

It’s just Dou Cheng’s seized stash!”

Zheng chuckled awkwardly, “You don’t need to explain that to me, I don’t have any ill intentions towards you!

Although many people call you a con artist, the King of Tricksters, I think you’re actually not a bad person, but rather simple and honest!”

“You’re upfront about liking money and wanting to make money.

If you’re going to swindle or deal with someone, you won’t be insincere or pretend.

You’re more trustworthy than hypocrites or truly malicious people, because as long as you’re not provoked, all is well!”

Wu Jie responded with a laugh, “This is the first time I’ve heard someone evaluate me like this!”

Zheng waved his hand and chuckled,

“I’m not trying to flatter or cozy up to you.

This is a part of the investigation and assessment we must carry out on suspicious individuals during the case!”

Speaking, Zheng carefully observed Wu Jie’s expression.

“Don’t look at me with that kind of scrutinizing gaze, let me tell you the truth.”

“For the public, of course I hope that this financial turmoil case can be thoroughly investigated and the truth fully revealed.”

“Privately, I actually support the current verdict, which is that it was caused by internal corruption led by Yuan Shikui!”

“As for you, I can’t find any special abilities you might have, but I hope you will continue to do righteous deeds and also be cautious!”

These words were vague enough.

Wu Jie understood instantly.

They say there are no walls in the world that don’t leak air!

The three international giants themselves easily attract attention with every move they make.

And their sudden arrival in Liuli City and any intersection with Tanglong Industrial Group would naturally interest the secret services.

With careful investigation, it wouldn’t be hard to discover the role Wu Jie played in the entire event.

After all, Wu Jie could trust Tang Xiao one hundred percent.

But what about the CTO, Cao Guanxu?

Could he be trusted?

Even if he didn’t say it, there might already be intelligence personnel within the three major gangs!

So, Wu Jie had formidable “network combat” abilities, and Zheng must have known this all too well already.

As for the money that belonged to Wang Taixiong and the others…

Wu Jie never intended to hide it too much.

Billions in cash being moved to a vault to make a deposit, a sudden huge increase in the bank balance, there was no hiding that!

And in this respect, Mu En was awesome!

Finding someone that nobody else knew had already died and using their identity.

Even if something went wrong, it couldn’t be traced back to him.

“Alright!

Stop dawdling, hurry up and get back, it’s your wedding night, I’m really sorry for calling you in for questioning!”

Zheng patted Wu Jie on the shoulder with a chuckle, turned around, and started to walk away, but his pace was slow.

Wu Jie sighed.

“You didn’t just come to question me, did you?

If there’s something you want, just say it!”

Zheng raised an eyebrow, turned his head around, and scanned the surroundings.

He took a deep breath, and, like a thief, edged closer to Wu Jie.

“I just like dealing with smart people like you!”

Wu Jie rolled his eyes.

“Don’t switch the style too quickly!

Didn’t you just say you weren’t cozying up to me?”

Zheng laughed, “Right!

Not cozying up, let’s talk business to business, about a little cooperation!”

Wu Jie snorted with a smile, gazed up into the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and curled his lip.

“Why make tonight so mysterious, and why beat around the bush with all this nonsense?

What on earth do you want to do?”

Zheng looked embarrassed, “Don’t I need to make small talk, to probe a bit?

I can’t just come right out and invite you to become a special agent!”

A special agent???

Suddenly, Wu Jie’s mind was filled with countless question marks.

Holy crap!

In that instant!

All sorts of movie scenes flashed through Wu Jie’s mind.

The agile, adventuring Tom Cruise, the advanced gadgetry, the seductive female 007 agents…

But that was just in movies!

In real life, a special agent…

probably looked more like Zheng!

An old miser with an ordinary face, dressed simply, unadorned and unremarkable!

If he walked in a crowd, he would not attract any special attention.

Low profile!

That was the way of survival for a special agent.

But the key issue was…

“Zheng, you want me to be a special agent?

I’m currently making millions by the minute, can you even afford to pay me a salary?

I…”

Wu Jie didn’t finish his sentence before Zheng produced a black ID.

It looked similar to a driver’s license, but it had an especially imposing badge on it, with three crimson characters beneath it.

“An investigative permit?

Damn, isn’t it supposed to be a special agent badge?” Wu Jie was astounded.

Zheng scoffed, “You been watching too many movies or reading too many novels?

A special agent badge exists, alright, for special kinds of jobs, like crane operators, electricians, welders…

Those count as special agents, you want it?”

Wu Jie shook his head repeatedly, “Uh…

never mind, but what’s this investigative permit good for?

You guys keep such a low profile, I guess you hardly ever need it, huh!”

Zheng took a deep drag of his cigarette and laughed,

“You might think of it as the ancient Imperial Guard!”

“In times of trouble, you could decapitate first and report later, kill first and investigate after.

For a case, you could requisition any social resource…”

Wu Jie interjected, “Does that mean with this badge, I could carry a gun with a permit?”

Zheng burst into laughter.

“With your shooting…

I think you’d be better off with darts.

Didn’t you take down Mu En’s bodyguard on the rooftop with darts?

When it comes to shooting…

It seemed you almost emptied the magazine and still didn’t kill anyone, right?”

Wu Jie huffed heavily.

“I’ve had no damn training.

If I practice with a few hundred rounds a day, I’d definitely become a gun god!”

Zheng shook his head repeatedly, “Letting you carry a gun and catch spies on the front line would be such a waste of talent!”

“I specially hired you because I hope you can exploit your cyber-technical skills!”

“After all, you’ve managed to break into and invade the security systems of the three internet hooligans!”

“Tell me, is there any spy network in the world that you can’t hack into?”

Wu Jie had a sudden realization.

So…

they want me to serve the country, to help gather intelligence!

“It’s not that I’m not devoted, Zheng; I’ve got a wife and a company.

I…”

Zheng waved his hand,

“Don’t be nervous, I’m not asking you to clock in.

I just need you to be ready to respond when there’s a mission!”

“If there’s no mission, you might occasionally help us maintain and test the cyber defense status.”

“This financial crisis has made our department keenly aware of how important cybersecurity is!”

“What if it was malicious international forces deliberately causing havoc?

Wouldn’t that trigger serious social unrest?”

“Asking you to join us is to have you as ‘Guardian of the Network’, defending the nation’s cybersecurity!”

Wu Jie sneered,

“Enough Zheng, stop bullshitting me!

You’re just making me a super network administrator, why make it sound so grand?”

Network administrator?

Zheng paused for a moment, then laughed heartily,

“That term is brilliant, it describes your work nature and content quite precisely!”

Wu Jie forced a smile.

“What about salary, then?

Is there social security and housing fund?

Overtime subsidy?

Holiday benefits?”

“Damn!

You, a billionaire, have the nerve to talk about money with me?

Isn’t it cool enough for you that I give you this detective badge and a gun?”

“What about the ammo supply?”

“It’s sufficient!

But you must report every week.

If one bullet is missing, you need to write an incident report!”

“Fuck!

If I can’t shoot freely, what good is it to me?”

“You can’t even shoot birds!”

…

While they talked, Zheng brought Wu Jie to another small building.

After verifying his identity, they entered the lobby.

Wu Jie suddenly felt like he was back in school, taking computer classes.

Desks were lined up, each with a computer on it!

Many people were playing on the computers, but none of them were gaming.

They were all monitoring network operations.

Major websites, forums, bulletin boards, chat groups…

were all under close surveillance.

Important departments and official websites were key defense targets.

If any crucial official website were to be hacked, and bloody provocative images and words were displayed, wouldn’t that be incredibly embarrassing?

“There’s a saying that goes well!”

“The so-called peace and quiet times are thanks to someone bearing the weight and moving forward for you!”

“At this moment, as thousands of families enjoy the peace within our borders, many others are making silent contributions!”

“Border guards stand watch, guarding our frontiers, while warships and planes patrol the seas and skies with various radars monitoring the heavens!”

“And these people before you are the ones defending our country in the cyber world!”

Zheng led Wu Jie to the main control console.

A giant LED screen displayed a map of the whole country.

“See that?

Each cursor represents a defense node!”

“And those lines crossing over and glowing white?

Those are the backbone fiber-optic networks!”

“The flickering green lights signify the data servers of major network operators…”

Zheng briefly and succinctly introduced everything to Wu Jie.

After hearing all this, Wu Jie said with a smile, “That’s a huge responsibility!”

“Your responsibility isn’t heavy; come and go as you like.

As long as you can turn the tide at critical moments, that’s enough!”

After a short pause, Zheng said with a smile, “Just like how you miraculously turned the tables on the three hooligans in that peak showdown!”

Wu Jie sighed, “Fame brings trouble, as the old saying goes!”

“I think you got it wrong.

It should be ‘Gold always shines’!” Zheng laughed heartily.

Wu Jie, not in the mood for idle chatter, pulled over a chair, sat down, and got to work.

Seeing this, Zheng revealed a relieved smile.

He lit a cigarette for Wu Jie, handed it over with a chuckle, and said,

“You keep busy, I’ll go get your credentials!”

Wu Jie waved him off, “Hurry up!

I’ve got half an hour to finish this, then I need to get home to my wife!”

Saying that, Wu Jie started tapping on the keyboard, busily plugging the leaks.

If the security systems developed by the three international giants had many loopholes,

then the domestic ones…

were naturally even worse to behold.

Finding vulnerabilities, patching them up.

In order to visit this place less often, Wu Jie worked furiously.

But Zheng was quicker, soon returning with two brand new detective and gun permits.

Of course, he did not forget to bring Wu Jie a fine cup of tea.

He brought along a brand new service pistol, magazines, a holster, and a high-performance military laptop.

At that moment,

Wu Jie suddenly felt like he had inexplicably boarded the wrong ship.

Wasn’t he just here for a quiet chat?

But now, good grief, he had become a cyber special agent.

Defending the country, a weighty responsibility.

Yet this feeling…

was truly too cool, mind-blowingly awesome!

It was as if he was being called to the heavens!
