Chapter 365: Chapter 353: Dangerous Person

People like Boer must have money on hand, whether it’s their own or not, and it doesn’t matter if they can spend it, as long as they have money, it’s fine.

"Now you have $9,620,000. If you’re buying spy equipment, you don’t need to consider the issue of money laundering, but if not, you’ll have to think about the cost of laundering. Given your current financial situation, I believe you can also consider using financial leverage to gain benefits more quickly, if..."

"Stop! Wait a second! Who told you all this money was for you to handle?"

Boer had been brimming with energy and looking spirited, but after Yang Yi hit him with a reality check, Boer immediately recognized the situation.

Watching Boer deflate so quickly, Yang Yi spoke gravely, "Of the $9,620,000, $1,620,000 was borrowed to set up a network intelligence center. Out of the remaining $8 million, $3.2 million belongs to everyone and will be distributed immediately, meaning only $4.8 million is freshly acquired by me. This sum also needs to go towards the establishment of the network intelligence center, and any leftovers will be used to purchase equipment. So, you should ask them who’s willing to let you invest and manage their money."

When Yang Yi told Boer the account number and password, Boer was like a chicken injected with adrenaline. He became excited upon discovering an additional $8 million in the account, but soon realized that the account would quickly run out of money. This fact, which shouldn’t have much to do with Boer, left him in deep mourning.

"So, there’s no money left..."

Muttering to himself, Boer turned to Yang Yi with a look of helplessness and said, "You’re too poor for an employer, far too poor..."

Sighing, Boer addressed the people eagerly awaiting their pay, "Alright, please give me your account details for receiving funds. Remember, large financial transactions will draw the bank’s attention. If you don’t want the police to flag you for unexplained large transactions, it’s best to have a secure account or to hire me to launder your money."

Kate waved her hand and said, "I have a secure account."

Xiao Ran nodded with a smile, "I also have a secure account."

Schultz asked anxiously, "What’s a secure account? How can I have one?"

Considering for a moment, Tang Guo smiled and said, "I have a secure account too, no need for laundering."

Schultz eagerly turned to Tang Guo, "But I don’t have one. I don’t even have my own bank account, what should I do?"

Without hesitation, Tang Guo replied, "You can temporarily place your money in my account, then I can pass it on to you, no problem."

Mike stayed quiet, but having been a spy for decades, how could he not have a secure account? Even if he needed to launder money, it wasn’t necessary to go through Boer.

Boer was astonished as he stood up, raising his voice, "Why do you all have secure accounts? Why? Why do all of you have them? What kind of people are you?"

Yang Yi waved his hand dismissively, smiling at Boer, "Don’t be angry, just get on with the transfers to everyone."

Boer voiced his resignation, "I’m a banker! I went from nothing to being worth tens of billions! Think about it, ladies and gentlemen, is it better for the money to be in your hands or mine? Trust me, I can make your wealth grow rapidly!"

"But my brother said..."

Tang Guo began to speak but immediately realized she had misspoken, so she stuck her tongue out and swallowed the rest of her sentence.

Furious, Boer pointed at Tang Guo and demanded, "What did your brother say!"

"He said bankers are not to be trusted, they are all liars, big liars, swindling money from ordinary folks."

Boer was incensed as he retorted, "That’s prejudice! It’s a lie! Would I, worth tens of billions, scam your money?"

Cautiously, Tang Guo replied, "But isn’t your wealth acquired through deception? Otherwise, how could you have so much money?"

Xiao Ran cut in mercilessly, "If you were still worth billions now I might believe you, but do you have any money at the moment?"

Boer, like a duck being strangled, opened his mouth but was unable to respond.

Yang Yi waved his hand and said, "It seems you won’t be able to scam any money out of them for the time being. No, sorry, I mean you won’t be able to manage their finances right now. Don’t worry, you’ll soon have your own salary. I’m offering you an annual salary of $100,000."

Boer turned his head away, with a dejected air of a tiger fallen on hard times, loudly exclaiming, "A banker, and you’re giving me an annual salary of $100,000? A hundred thousand? Fine, when do I get paid?"

Yang Yi gestured, "I’ll pay you when I have money. Not now, just wait. Okay, we have other matters to discuss now."

Finally, Boer left, with a heart full of grief and helplessness.

Clearing his throat, Yang Yi said, "Right now, we don’t have any particularly suitable missions to undertake, so Mike and I decided to look for tasks to do on the dark web. There are many tasks on the dark web, most of which are small tasks that don’t pay much, but there are also big tasks that have been posted for years and nobody has been able to complete. Our goal is to find a proper mission to undertake. If we succeed, we’ll make a name for ourselves."

Yang Yi was about to fire up his computer, excited, when Schultz suddenly said, "Wait, speaking of the dark web, I just remembered something I should show you that might be useful."

"Oh, what’s that?"

With an enthusiastic look, Schultz explained, "Last time I accessed the database of the Home Affairs Ministry, I found a list of dangerous individuals and downloaded it. It was encrypted multiple times, but I still managed to download it. I checked it today and thought it might interest you, so you should take a look."

Yang Yi’s face changed instantly, and so did Kate’s.

Why had opera singers become extinct, why was Kate’s family ruined — all because of the hacker from the opera world.

Yang Yi demanded sharply, "What have you done?"

Startled by Yang Yi’s reaction, Schultz stumbled over his words, "No... nothing, I just, found it interesting, so I downloaded it..."

Yang Yi was very angry, but he quickly calmed down, realizing it was his fault for not having informed Schultz what was permissible and what wasn’t. Schultz had acted according to a hacker’s habits, and if Schultz hadn’t followed the code of conduct for spies, it was on Yang Yi.

Yang Yi sighed lightly, steadied his emotions, and then said apologetically, "Sorry, it’s my fault. Alright, now tell me what you’ve got."

Turning the computer toward Yang Yi, Schultz said carefully, "This is a list of dangerous individuals. It’s best if you look at it yourself."
