Spy-x-War Showdown
Chapter 1126 - 1131: Take It Easy

Chapter 1126: Chapter 1131: Take It Easy

Boer is reluctant to entrust Chris with tasks that are either too difficult or too important; Chris knows this because Boer ranks too high while his own rank is too low.

But that doesn’t matter, Chris is willing to prove himself through minor tasks one by one, and he is determined to use his performance to earn a new evaluation from Boer.

Chris could be just an obvious puppet spokesperson or a truly capable professional manager; it all depends on his abilities.

Chris is aware of all this, so his plan is to do well in every little task, in everything that’s handed to him, whether by Boer or by Yang Yi.

He agreed to pay a third party a hundred thousand US Dollars to spread rumors; after accomplishing this, Chris clenched his fists tight and swung them as he walked along the street.

It had gotten dark, and Chris’s task for today was to find these three people and spend the money; now that he had completed his mission, it was time to head back.

When Chris returned to the safehouse, he arrived just as Yang Yi and the others also finished their tasks and came back.

"We need to find an insider at Bell Securities, hmm, I think spy fits better."

After Yang Yi casually finished speaking, he turned to Chris, who had just entered, and said, "Back already, how did it go?"

Chris nodded: "All done, very smoothly."

"Is the money enough?"

"Enough, a hundred thousand for each person."

Yang Yi said with a look of surprise: "Why do the people I contact all say that the market rate has changed, now it’s one hundred and fifty thousand?"

Chris shrugged: "Yes, the market rate has changed, but I convinced them to continue spreading rumors for us at the price of a hundred thousand."

Boer furrowed his brows and then said sternly: "This is not where we should be scrimping."

Chris smiled and said: "Oh, no problem. They are willing to work for me at this price. I just had a little chat with them. Even though it remains the original price, they all assured to complete our tasks on time, and the low price will not lead to poor service."

Boer gave Chris a doubtful look and said in a deep voice: "It’s time to choose a few suitable insiders, but this spy is very important, we must find the right candidate, and if we cannot successfully buy them over, we must ensure they don’t leak anything."

Yang Yi, stroking his chin, said: "The simplest way is to eliminate them."

Boer, with a hint of concern, said: "Be clear, we’re dealing with people from Wall Street, not spies. You can’t just kill someone and walk away here, leaving a mess for the police to handle – that won’t do. If key individuals from an investment bank die in succession, even fools would know something’s up."

"Do you have the right candidate in mind?"

Boer shook his head: "First, let the rumors out. As for whom exactly to buy over, that requires time to research. I’ve been away from Wall Street for a while, and I’m not particularly familiar with the internal affairs of Bell Securities; even if I was familiar before, that’s outdated now. So, selecting the right spy is a job for you and Anton, after all, you are the professionals at this. I’ll tell you which positions are key, but judging whether we can buy them over is up to you."

There are experts in every field; in the past, even if Boer needed to buy someone over from a competitor, he never had to do it himself.

So leaving it to Yang Yi and Anton is quite fitting indeed.

Yang Yi looked towards Chris and said: "Anton and I will assess who’s suitable, and when it’s time to take action, let Chris step in."

Boer said softly: "No problem with that? If you think it’s fine, then it’s fine."

Chris did not feel insulted because Boer had never truly worked with him.

Boer shrugged his shoulders and said, "If that’s the case, why not start tonight."

Xiao Ran was somewhat angry; she had been listening in for an entire evening, but so far, she had nothing to do with any of it.

"What about me? Am I just supposed to stand by and watch, doing nothing?"

Boer, Yang Yi, and Anton exchanged glances, and then Yang Yi spoke, "Of course, there is something for you. You, along with Anton and Chris, will be responsible for selecting suitable targets for acquisition, and then you’ll work together to secure them."

Anton looked at Yang Yi and said, "What will you be doing?"

"Me? I’m going home, to be with my girlfriend."

It was finally in front of Xiao Ran that Yang Yi said this. He twisted his neck, feeling somewhat unnatural, and then with a helpless face he continued, "Right now, I need to finish the task Aaron gave me as soon as possible, so I have to spend more time with Petra. Please don’t disturb me unless it’s something urgent, well, that’s it."

A deathly silence fell, until at last Anton said in a deep voice, "Alright, you should indeed hurry up. You haven’t announced the breaking off of your engagement, and Aaron is getting impatient."

While speaking, Anton glared at Boer with a threatening look because Xiao Ran could see Yang Yi, but she couldn’t see him.

Boer immediately said, "Speaking of Petra, she is critical because we might need her father’s help. Er, I think you should make better use of your identity as Petra’s boyfriend and talk to her father when necessary."

Brothers are solid, truly supportive.

Yang Yi nodded and said, "Of course, this is what we had planned from the start. I will certainly talk to him."

Xiao Ran looked disdainful. She said indifferently, "A scumbag stays with his lover; let’s get to work. It will take a long time to filter out the right people. Are you two planning to work here?"

Anton and Chris both stood up, and then Boer, with a look of resignation, said, "Did I tell you guys which positions are the key roles? Hmm, boss, you can leave now. We will stay and discuss."

Boer had keen insight; Yang Yi nodded and said: "Alright, carry on with the discussion, I have to leave now. See you tomorrow."

Yang Yi walked out of the safe house naturally, and then he excitedly waved his fist, having finally said those words in front of Xiao Ran – a significant step forward.

Yang Yi didn’t mean to provoke Xiao Ran, and of course, it did indeed provoke her, but Yang Yi felt that since they couldn’t be together, it was better to stop any ambiguity. It’s not good to hide things, so it’s better to speak out where necessary.

Yang Yi got in his car and drove towards Petra’s house, but on the way, he stopped again.

For some reason, although he had felt quite relieved just moments ago, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

He didn’t know why he felt this discomfort, but in any case, he felt it. Consequently, Yang Yi turned the car around and went back to where he had just parked.

Yang Yi got out of the car; he wanted to explain things to Xiao Ran again, but after hesitating for a moment with his foot just touching the ground, he pulled his foot back into the car.

Let it be, just leave if it’s time to go.

So, Yang Yi finally drove away for the second time, and this time he did not look back.
