696: Chapter 696: Really Not Playing by the Rules!

Anger!

Indignation!

Lepuron’s heart was struck with not just ten thousand points of critical damage!

He had heard before that Wu Jie was a trickster, but he had no idea he was this bad!

He thought Wu Jie was acting out of passion for his woman, stealing confidential data and transferring huge funds, but it was actually just a scheme to con people even further.

Just like the time when the three big international giants were hacked and blackmailed after he stole their secrets.

And the result?

Wu Jie didn’t play by the rules.

In addition to being a son-in-law and the King of Tricksters, he turned out to be a senior secret agent.

The operation launched against the Northern Fox Organization was not his personal action.

Those confidential data, once in their hands, were surely analyzed and studied countless times.

Now, to both of their major departments, the Northern Fox Organization had no more secrets; they were completely transparent.

What did that mean?

It meant that what the Northern Fox Organization had done over the years, the dirty business they had engaged in, their organizational framework, and personnel files…

None of that was a secret to the Liuli Continent anymore.

Whenever they wanted, they could share some data with other countries.

By then, the Northern Fox Organization would really become world-famous, known far and wide.

Huff!

Huff!

Lepuron gritted his teeth, turning his rage into breaths.

On the surface, it looked like he was trying to cool down his tea.

But in reality…

He was truly infuriated!

As he blew on his tea, he pondered.

Plans can’t keep up with changes!

Initially, he thought, isn’t Wu Jie just after money?

Well then, like the conditions reached during negotiations with the three big international giants.

Five billion Gold Coins each plus batches of stocks valued at eighteen billion Gold Coins over three months.

But now what?

He discovered that the real mastermind behind the scenes was not Wu Jie, but the External Affairs Bureau of the Liuli Continent.

How could he buy peace with money now?

In fact, from the start, as he flew to Tianyuan and arrived here, he received protection from a large number of plainclothes officers and special agents.

Others thought it was because he was an important foreign guest.

If it were indeed a foreign guest, they would feel respected due to the tight protection.

But who could know the bitterness in Lepuron’s heart?

This was not protection, it was clearly surveillance!

Amid his wild thoughts, Lepuron forgot the tea was still scalding and took a sip.

Puft!!

Too hot!

He was burned so badly he spat it out immediately and hurriedly set the teacup down, extremely embarrassed.

“No matter how good the tea is, you can’t drink it in such a hurry!”

Wu Jie suddenly blurted out a comment.

At this statement, Zheng and the others could no longer hold back their laughter.

They were all scoffing inside!

Damn!

What kind of crappy tea leaves are these, pretending they’re so precious?

Are they even worth fifty cents?

This ‘talking nonsense with eyes wide open’ act perfectly embodied what it meant to be shameless.

Indeed, there is nothing to fear when one has no shame, not even ghosts!

And Lepuron’s facial expressions were extremely varied.

He looked like he was about to explode but was forcefully holding it in, his face stretched tight as a drum, the very picture of constipation.

He was feeling so much hatred inside!

The Northern Fox Organization had been robbed of several billions in Gold Coins.

It wasn’t enough that they didn’t treat him to delicacies; the tea was so bad, so hot.

Did they want to infuriate him to death?

His cold eyes swept over Wu Jie’s smiling face.

Lepuron pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and began to wipe the tea stains from his clothes.

After wiping it off, he squeezed out a smile.

“I’m going to step outside to make a phone call.

Wait here for a moment,” he said.

“Sure!

Go ahead,” Zheng replied, barely suppressing his laughter.

As Lepuron got up and left, the moment the door closed behind him, he and Lu couldn’t hold back their laughter anymore.

And through the door, Lepuron obviously heard the faint laughter.

In an instant, his expression tightened, and his face turned ashen.

“Chairman, what’s wrong?” Edson asked with concern.

Lepuron didn’t say a word and headed straight for the private room where another secretary and others were waiting.

“You’re really too mean, kid.

You should at least use some decent tea!

You’re even stingier than I am!” Zheng teased from inside the room.

Wu Jie laughed and said, “He’s lucky to even have water to drink.

What else should we give him?

A table full of delicacies?”

“Enough, enough, let’s not talk about that now!” Lu said with a laugh.

“It’s clear you and your partner got the better deal, so why make us take the fall for you?”

Wu Jie laughed heartily.

“Look at what you’re saying.

We all got what we needed!

You needed intelligence, I needed cash, and that’s perfectly in line!”

“That’s not a conflict, but are you not planning to negotiate with him?” Zheng asked with a chuckle.

Wu Jie, with a drooping face, snorted sarcastically:

“Negotiate what?

The idea that I should return the money is utterly ridiculous.

Since when does one take money back out after it’s in your pocket?”

“Besides, that money wasn’t all from the Northern Fox Organization; a lot of it was from gamblers’ stakes!”

“I’m enacting justice on behalf of heaven, confiscating their illicit gains.

Giving them a harsh and painful lesson will stop them from gambling again!”

Zheng and the others exchanged a glance, finding themselves speechless.

What a fierce logic.

Stealing and robbery are crimes, but if the target is a bad guy, does that make it righteousness?

This logic…

although it feels wrong, you can’t quite refute it!

“Speaking of betting on matches, Luo Chenyun really walked into the trap by coming to Tianyuan for his brother!”

“His gambling den, hidden deep in the mountains of Beilong County, just fell apart all at once!”

“Speaking of which, your two brothers may have caused a huge car accident, but they’ve also indirectly done a small favor…”

Before Zheng could finish, Wu Jie angrily cut in:

“What crap brothers, don’t even mention them to me!

Just thinking about them makes me boil with rage!”

Zheng was instantly embarrassed.

“What’s gotten into you?

I thought you would ask me to help lighten your brothers’ sentences!”

Wu Jie said coldly, “It’s a long story, but helping them would be doing them a favor, not helping them is my duty!

I’ve done what I should, my conscience is clear, I don’t want to be involved anymore, let them do whatever they want!”

Zheng was smart, he understood immediately.

“So, what are your plans with Lepuron?”

Wu Jie shrugged, “Definitely won’t be returning the money, and I reckon he knows that he can’t get a refund!”

“As for the data he wants, isn’t it in your hands?

It’s all stored on your servers!”

“Are you going to give it to him?

You two must have had some ideas on how to make the exchange already!”

Lu nodded his head in undeniable agreement.

The headquarters of the External Affairs Bureau was in Liuli City, and he couldn’t possibly return empty-handed from this trip.

The secret data of the Northern Fox Organization were like a commodity, extremely valuable.

Lepuron wouldn’t get the data without offering something substantial in return.

Even if he did get it, Lu would certainly keep a backup.

Their bargaining was what really mattered.

“Our country is now an industrial giant, but not yet an industrial powerhouse!”

“In some high-end technology fields, there is still a huge gap and shortage of technology!”

“The Northern Fox Organization has been established for many years with complex relationships, they must have the channels to obtain what we want!”

At this point, Lu gave Wu Jie a knowing smile.

Wu Jie just smiled and took a sip from his tea cup.

“Ah ptui—fuck!

What the hell is this…

Is this supposed to be tea or boiled river sand?”

Wu Jie couldn’t help but complain to himself.

Lu and the other person laughed out loud.

“You little brat, now you know how terrible this tea tastes, don’t you?!”

“Damn it!

Tea leaves aren’t free, you know?

Just make do with it!”

Muttering to himself, Wu Jie blew away the tea leaf fragments and took a light sip.

This damn bitterness, ahh!

But it really is eye-opening and mind-awakening!

Having not slept at all last night, now with one sip, my spirits are revived, and I feel like I could pull another all-nighter.

Putting down his tea cup, Wu Jie quickly shared his thoughts on the battery exchange stations while Lepuron was still away.

After hearing him out, Lu and the other person were somewhat dumbfounded.

“Are you…

are you kidding me?

Do you have a fever or something?

Keeping the peace and stability of the nation is our duty, but what you’re talking about…

doesn’t that fall outside our remit?”

No sooner had Zheng finished speaking than Lu also chimed in with a complaint:

“Look here, Jie!

You really need to change your habit of tricking people.

It’s one thing to trick outsiders, but don’t trick our own people, okay?

We’re supposed to be allies.

Even if you have to trick us…

can you take it easy?”

Wu Jie was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

“Fuck!

Looks like my reputation really precedes me!

Why do you guys always think I’m trying to trick you whenever I speak?

“But this time it’s different, I’m confident I can develop a really decent battery that will make electric vehicles truly practical!

“The only trouble is, these battery exchange stations need to be as widespread as gas stations across the country to be promoted!”

Zheng frowned, curious, “You mean…

you want us to help you find someone?”

“Aren’t you the son-in-law of the Tianyuan Tang Family?

With that kind of background relationship, isn’t it enough?” Lu also teased with a laugh.

Wu Jie rolled his eyes at the two of them.

“The old man has been retired for many years.

To give a little face is already being polite.

To expect someone to do something wholeheartedly, it’s difficult!”

Lu glanced around, then lowered his voice with a smile:

“The last time you went to Liuli City and clashed with the presidential envoy Perrio, you left a deep impression on Elder Tan!”

“Instead of asking us to help find someone, why don’t you take your plan and battery directly to Liuli City to find him?”

Zheng also laughed, “Right!

If you’re going to start an energy revolution, the impact will be huge, involving too many interests.

For such a big matter, I think Elder Tan is the most suitable person to find!”

“As long as he approves, who would dare not listen?

Right?”

Wu Jie stroked his chin.

He had already thought about it, but having only met Elder Tan once, he didn’t know if he would agree.

“Alright then!

I’ll contact the secretary later!”

Zheng chuckled, leaned in close, and asked:

“Blocking someone’s wealth is like killing their parents!

Do you realize how many people will hate you if you make oil worthless?”

“Not to mention the domestic ‘Big Three’ oil companies, what about those oil tycoons abroad?

Each of them would want to strangle you!”

Lu added with a laugh, “You have to report to Elder Tan clearly.

Such a big issue must have his full support!”

No sooner had the words fallen.

Lepuron came back through the door and as soon as he sat down, he said:

“We don’t want the money anymore.

After all, no matter how we demand it, you’d never return it!”

“But the confidential data you’ve stolen, we hope you can make a complete copy for us as soon as possible!”

“Of course, we won’t ask you to give it to us for nothing.

If you have any special requests, just mention them!

I’ll do my best to satisfy!”

Just as Lu was about to speak, Wu Jie coughed and stood up.

“If you’re not talking debts, then I have nothing to do here.

You guys go ahead and talk; I’m leaving first!”

Lepuron was momentarily astonished.

They were about to start formal negotiations, yet Wu Jie was leaving.

Wasn’t he missing the chance to make outrageous demands, tricking himself?

Before Lepuron could ask, Wu Jie said he was leaving and did just that, completely ignoring his presence.

This left Lepuron, who had been fully prepared to haggle, utterly dumbfounded and nearly vomiting blood in frustration.

Damn it!

This trickster really doesn’t play by the rules!

But little did he know, without any feelings of resentment left, Wu Jie meant nothing to him.

Instead, Wu Jie was eager to rush to Liuli City as soon as possible to make a big score.

To blind all the oil tycoons around the world with their gold-spending eyes!

After going downstairs to greet his parents, Wu Jie went home to pack his bags and contacted Elder Tan’s secretary.

Having set up a meeting for ten o’clock that evening, he immediately drove to the battery research institute.

Forbidden to anyone from going upstairs, he used the existing equipment and materials to hastily produce a Graphene Composite Battery and then raced to the airport.

After finding his seat, Wu Jie hunkered down to make the most of the time writing the project proposal.

“Excuse me, just passing through!”

A familiar voice came through.

Wu Jie looked up, and both were stunned…
