Chapter 1187: Chapter 1192: Enjoying the Service

Boer looked utterly frazzled. As soon as he saw Yang Yi, he grabbed Yang Yi’s arm and urgently said, "We’ve got a problem!"

"What problem?"

Boer took a deep breath and then said in a low voice, "Larry Bell, that bastard... He’s bisexual, but that’s not the main issue. What I didn’t expect is that this guy runs a secret underground club and holds chaotic brawl parties on a regular basis!"

"And then?"

"Plenty of officials, plenty of wealthy elites—most importantly, this party is incredibly twisted."

Yang Yi frowned and said, "Why do I keep running into scumbags like this lately? Uh, but this kind of thing is pretty common in elite circles, isn’t it?"

"But Larry Bell takes things way too far!"

"How far?"

Boer was clearly enraged and said, "Does it really matter?"

"Uh, fine. Go on."

Boer, still fuming, said, "I’ve known Larry Bell for years and didn’t even realize he had this kind of hobby. Which means he’s never invited me—what a bastard!"

Yang Yi was dumbfounded. Boer suddenly realized he might have said too much, so he cleared his throat twice and said, "The point is, Larry Bell invites a lot of people every time. He personally prepares men and women for his guests to enjoy, along with every kind of perverted trick you can imagine. Ahem, ahem..."

After another couple of coughs, Boer said seriously, "The bigger issue is that people have died! Five people have already died at his parties!"

Yang Yi jumped in shock and said, "Having fun is one thing, but he dares to get people killed too?"

Boer’s face darkened as he replied, "Two died from overdosing, and three were tortured to death. Three men and two women among the dead—and two of those deaths were directly caused by Larry Bell. Even though some incidents happened before, he managed to smooth everything over with money. But this time, it’s different—Larry Bell is dead now, and people who were too scared to speak up before are now coming forward to expose the truth."

"Hmm?"

"One man, his boyfriend was tortured to death by Larry Bell. This guy accepted a huge amount of money to keep quiet, but now that Larry Bell’s dead, he’s planning to reveal everything. Do you understand what this means? A lot of high-profile figures will be dragged into the mess. And most importantly, this involves homicide—once exposed, it’ll cause massive upheaval."

Yang Yi frowned and said, "Wait a second. Aren’t you targeting Bell Securities with negative press? Why wouldn’t you use such a devastating scandal to your advantage, instead of being so anxious?"

Boer’s face showed his frustration as he said, "The issue is, we haven’t completed the acquisition yet! Larry Bell essentially *is* Bell Securities. What we want is a structurally intact Bell Securities—not one destroyed by scandal. If Bell Securities goes bankrupt, what’s the point of acquiring it?"

Yang Yi nodded, "Oh, I get it. So what do you need me to do? Wait, dealing with something like this shouldn’t be too hard, right?"

Boer looked helpless as he replied, "That guy went to the police. He’s at the station now. We can’t resort to silencing him—if another scandal involving murder surfaces, we’ll be finished for good. That’s why we need to focus on two things right now: speeding up the acquisition process, and—meanwhile—you have to make sure this situation gets suppressed. This cannot blow up!"

Yang Yi thought for a moment and replied, "No problem. This can be handled easily."

Boer let out a sigh of relief and said, "Yeah, you can seek help from the CIA."

Yang Yi shook his head, "No, no, the CIA isn’t convenient for handling something like this. I can turn to the cleaners. Actually, this kind of situation is exactly what the cleaners excel at."

Boer froze for a moment and then nodded, "Yeah, the name says it all. ’Cleaners’—aren’t they meant to handle dirty work like this?"

Yang Yi replied casually, "I’ve got this. I thought this would be a much bigger mess... Anything else?"

Boer looked unconvinced and said, "You just focus on sorting this out first. I’ll be waiting since there’s no time left."

Yang Yi shrugged, then dialed a number. When Elvin answered, he spoke calmly, "Hello, I need your help to handle something."

"Go ahead."

Just as Yang Yi was about to speak, he suddenly realized this was his first time exercising his privileges as a cleaner client.

He wasn’t sure how much sway an S-class client had, nor how competent the cleaners were at dealing with situations like this.

"I need you to suppress a scandal—it’s about Larry Bell."

Elvin quietly listened to Yang Yi’s explanation and then said in a measured tone, "No problem. This can be handled—guaranteed to leave no loose ends. The cost is 40 million US dollars; please ensure payment immediately upon completion."

Yang Yi almost choked on his own spit. Then he exclaimed in shock, "I have to pay? And it’s that expensive?"

"Of course you have to pay. As for the price, I already knocked off 10 million for you. Normally, for scandal suppression of this scale, we charge 50 million US dollars."

"Huh? Ten million discount?"

"And it’ll be cleaned up thoroughly, with no chance of resurfacing later. The cost is 40 million US dollars. I’ve already deducted 10 million for you. Please understand—the critical factor isn’t how much it costs but whether the issue can be resolved. Would you agree?"

"Fair enough. How long?"

Elvin thought for a moment and replied, "Fastest is one hour; slower will take up to six hours, depending on specific circumstances."

"Alright, I’ll wait for your update."

Yang Yi hung up and said to Boer, "Alright. Fastest is one hour; slowest is six hours. It won’t affect my schedule for tomorrow."

Boer still looked skeptical and said, "Really? That’s too ridiculous... Alright, I’ll wait for the news. Six hours is totally acceptable—I’ll put everything else on hold until this is dealt with."

All that was left was to wait, while Boer filled Yang Yi in on their current progress. When two hours had passed, Boer had just finished discussing the future outlook—though he hadn’t yet gotten to talk about profits—Yang Yi’s phone rang.

Yang Yi picked up the phone and said, "Hi, is it done?"

"Please process the payment now. Everything has been contained. Oh, and just a reminder—you might not be familiar with our style. We operate with complete dedication to client needs, responding swiftly to urgent concerns. So, the whistleblower is now under our control. If you want certain details from the scandal leaked, you can contact me—this part is free. You tell us what to say and to what extent."

Yang Yi glanced at Boer and then said in a serious tone, "I’ll assign someone to negotiate the specifics. Is that acceptable?"

"Of course. Don’t use this number; I’ll provide another contact for communication."

Yang Yi hung up and told Boer, "It’s done. You don’t have to worry anymore—it’s all been handled."

Checking his watch, Yang Yi smiled and said, "It’s still early. I’ll make it home in time for dinner. So, tell me—when will we start seeing returns on our investment?"
