Ruthless Enough!

988: Chapter 959: Mad Xu!

Ruthless Enough!

Money is the root of all evil, and food is the bird’s downfall.

When surviving became a problem, for the sake of survival, what else was there to be concerned about?

With no strength to truss a chicken, yet too afraid to die, committing crimes was out of the question.

The only option left was to think of crooked ways to make money.

Knowing what Wu Jie liked and that he wasn’t afraid of authority—he dared to confront anyone.

Even Perrio had been infuriated into fainting twice.

Who else would he not dare to confront?

Most importantly, Wu Jie wasn’t a sycophant; he wouldn’t reveal secrets and betray Xu Feng, who provided them.

He was upright and strong-willed, having brought down the Kong Family of Liuli City, naturally not be coerced by power and wealth.

Cooperation with him was absolutely safe.

So…

Once Xu Feng was involved, he was all in, ruthless to the end.

Those people were too self-serving, too conscienceless, not offering the slightest bit of help to the Xu Family of Liuli City.

Opportunities are fleeting.

Xu Feng probably listed off the crimes of each big shot on the list, but of course, he wouldn’t provide evidence before striking a good deal on the price.

There were more than a dozen of them, each with significant influence and power.

Xu Feng’s asking price was by no means low.

All the genuine criminal evidence bundled together demanded ten billion.

Upon hearing this asking price, Wu Jie immediately lost his temper.

“Ten billion!!”

“Are you freaking mad with poverty?

You really dare to name a price.

Do you think my money falls from the sky?”

“I’m just holding a part-time job at the Security Bureau, with not a penny in wages.

Instead, I’ve put in quite a lot of my own money.”

“You’re valuing these people so highly, is this a robbery?

You might as well ask for a hundred billion and let your Xu family rise again!”

As soon as Wu Jie finished speaking, Xu Feng said in a low voice,

“Bro, keep it down!

I’m not robbing you; these big tigers are just that fat!”

“Once you get them, you can definitely squeeze out a lot of profit.

Think about Kong Hailin and the others—the gold and silver, antiques, paintings, and millions in cash, all hauled by trucks!”

Wu Jie glanced sideways with a cold stare, “Do you think I’m out to bend the law for personal gain and plunder them?

As an upright man like myself, that would undoubtedly mean being impartial and incorruptible!!”

When Wu Jie said this, his face didn’t turn red, and he didn’t even seem out of breath.

After all, he was guilt-free.

Power was significant, but he had never been corrupt; instead, he worked tirelessly helping to crack major cases, even developing the Skynet System at a loss.

What he wanted were resources, not money.

“Oh brother, I know you’re impartial, but I’m really about to die of poverty here!”

With a mournful look on his face, Xu Feng asked, “So, how much can you give me for being an informant?”

“A hundred thousand!” Wu Jie declared firmly.

Xu Feng was stunned.

He asked for ten billion, and Wu Jie countered with a hundred thousand.

The difference was huge!

“That little?”

“Mr.

Wu!

Bro, you’re my real brother.

I’m risking my life to be an informant against these big tigers!”

“Nowadays, reporting a drug dealer can get a reward of three hundred thousand.

The people I’m reporting are even more severe, more harmful…

Can you give a little more?”

Wu Jie glanced at the list and said with a light smile, “Eighteen people, four hundred thousand each, plus I’ll consider the risks you’d be taking—it can’t be more than eight million!”

Eight million…

Xu Feng’s expression still showed some disappointment.

“Bro, can’t you give just a little more?

These are major figures.

At least provide a bit more informant fee, maybe two million each?”

Wu Jie gave a cold, sidelong glance, “Are you trying to bargain with me?”

“I…” Xu Feng bit his lip and said, “How about a package deal for eighteen million, okay?”

Wu Jie snorted with amusement, placing a piece of paper on the small table in front of Xu Feng’s seat.

This made Xu Feng anxious.

“All right, all right, eight million it is!

I agree!

Once we arrive at Liuli City, I’ll give you the information as soon as possible.

We’ll exchange the money and information at the same time, is that okay?”

Wu Jie raised an eyebrow, “You want cash?”

Xu Feng immediately said with a smile,

“Yes!

Transfers are too risky.

What if I’m blacklisted and my funds get frozen?

Then all my efforts would be for nothing.

Cash is best—it’s secure and convenient!”

Wu Jie gave Xu Feng a disdainful glance.

“Convenient, my ass.

Do you know how heavy eight million in cash is?

Even if it’s all in new bills, that’s nearly a hundred kilograms.

You want me to carry two big suitcases, for fun?

Why not have someone else collect it?”

“Okay, okay, whatever you say, bro!”

Xu Feng, beaming, had already lost the airs of a spoiled young master and now had the look of a petty man greedy for money.

Eight million…

For Xu Feng and his nearly destitute father, it was almost a life-saving sum.

With this money, at least their living wouldn’t be an issue, and they wouldn’t have to worry about the basic necessities of life.

If there was a way to flee abroad, to places like the impoverished Jiazhou Continent, they could probably live without worrying about food or drink for the rest of their lives.

As for repaying debts…

What to repay with?

Almost a hundred billion in debts could only continue to be defaulted on.

Without a miracle, the only option was to run away.

Of course, running away required money.

Without enough money to pave the way, how could they shed their mortal coil and escape to freedom?

Money, money, money, bound up with life.

The Xu Feng of old, used to splurging gold and living a life of debauchery, now had only one thought in his mind: to make money.

Having ‘betrayed’ his past business partners for eight million, Xu Feng had gotten a taste of the sweet fruit.

What else could he sell?

After some thought, Xu Feng suddenly came up with another brilliant idea.

“Jie, I know of some special forces and organizations; are you interested in buying their information?

They truly commit all evils, filled to the brim with wickedness, and some forces even have serious firepower; if they committed a crime, the casualties would be significant!”

Xu Feng asked tentatively.

Wu Jie asked with curiosity, “What’s this?

Your Liuli City Xu Family has dealings with those forces?”

“How could a large family with decades of history not have any contacts?” asked Xu Feng with a smile playing on his lips.

“How about it?

Are you interested in their information?”

After a brief pause, seeing Wu Jie’s interest piqued, Xu Feng lowered his voice and continued:

“I’m not particularly good at nuclear physics, but from what I understand, if high-grade weapons-grade enriched uranium is exploded at a high altitude and dispersed, the radioactive dust would spread with the wind, causing widespread nuclear contamination, right?”

“Just like the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, it caused many deaths, birth defects in newborns, and animal deformities.

Even now, more than thirty years later, those over two thousand square kilometers of land remain uninhabited, right?”

“Moreover, even though Detox Pills are very effective, the chemical and biological weapons they have aren’t a joke, either!

If they were to explode in a crowded place, many people would be poisoned on the spot, with no time to seek medical help or take medication!”

“As for other weapons…

didn’t Kong Heng get caught by you guys in the act of buying weapons and ammunition?

Sellers with a lot of that kind of stock, I know a few, and with enough money, they can even provide you with an anti-tank missile, believe it or not?”

…

Wu Jie remained silent no matter what Xu Feng preached.

He wasn’t wrong.

Previously, the international situation was unstable, and wars were aplenty, with various armed conflicts leading to a substantial influx of various weapons into the international black market.

Before those countries stabilized and peace was restored, let alone anti-tank missiles, you could even buy fighter jets, and as for other weapons and ammunition, that goes without saying.

It was precisely because of this that Zheng and his colleagues had been extremely busy these recent days.

Constantly investigating, arresting, and striking.

It’s not the fear of the ten thousand, but the fear of the one.

If a nuclear warhead from the black market ended up as a ‘dirty bomb’ in the hands of terrorist and radical groups, and then exploded in a populous city, the human and economic losses would be immeasurable.

However…

Whether Xu Feng was exaggerating or simply boasting, Wu Jie couldn’t verify at the moment.

After Xu Feng finished speaking, Wu Jie finally said in an indifferent tone:

“I’m interested in everything you’ve mentioned.

Maintaining peace and stability is my inescapable duty, and I’m willing to pay a high price for high-value intelligence!”

“However, whether it’s true or false, it’s hard to say without seeing the information, but you should trust my character, right?

For these extremely special organizations, we can pay after the information is exchanged!”

“As long as the situation is true, I won’t shortchange you a penny, and of course, if you want Detox Pills, that’s fine too!”

Xu Feng hurriedly shook his head: “No need, no need, Detox Pills are overproduced and losing value; they’re no longer priced as divine drugs, and I don’t need them.

Money is more tangible!”

“As for the method of trading…

you decide how to do it.

After all, I wouldn’t provide false information for money, I don’t have the guts for that, do I?”

“With the Xu Family in its current sorry state, without money or influence, we’re like an overripe persimmon, easily crushed with a squeeze.

How dare I deceive and bluff you?”

Wu Jie nodded slightly and said, “Okay, you have my contact information, so provide the intelligence as soon as possible, or else once the intelligence agents handle it, your information will be worthless!”

“Understood!

Time is money, and I’m even more anxious than you are!”

Xu Feng said with a grin.

After some idle chat, Xu Feng stood up to take his leave from Wu Jie, calling Xu Kuishan to the last row of first class.

The father and son whispered and slowly discussed their plans, looking nothing like their previously dispirited selves.

As long as the will does not falter, there are always more solutions than problems!

Encountering a big shot like Wu Jie, it was as if they had found bright prospects after a dark tunnel!

Naturally, their spirits soared!

It was as if they had found a road to riches!

The Xu Family of Liuli City now had no assets left, but standing tall for many years, they had not refrained from engaging in various black and white deals, and still had a considerable amount of connections and dirt on people.

Selling this to Wu Jie, they could not only make money but also be credited for it—it was definitely worth the risk.

The ruthless Xu Feng even came up with a wicked idea.

For example, the cultural enterprises of the Xu Family in Liuli City had dominated the entertainment industry for many years.

The dirt didn’t necessarily have to be used for blackmail; it could be sold to other people or forces, and how they used it was none of their concern.

In any case.

The debt of nearly ten billion was impossible to fully repay, so the best course was to raise money by selling everything possible and saving enough funds to flee.

Without money, how could one escape to wealth?

Once out, how could one afford to hire mercenaries for protection?

With the ideas flowing, wealth rolled in.

Suddenly, the father-son duo realized that if they set their minds to it, they might even be able to make a fortune and flee the country with their family.

Of course.

Wu Jie didn’t pay much attention to the father and son’s money-making schemes.

After the plane landed, the first-class passengers were the first to disembark.

Wu Jie didn’t enter the terminal building because a private car had arrived early to wait by the tarmac.

Seeing this scene, the father and son couldn’t help but feel envious.

Little did they know that in that car with the red license plate, a completely different scene unfolded…
