Chapter 560: Chapter 568: Unbelievable

Yang Yi was receiving the eavesdropped content sent by Brian, and through Xiao Ran’s simultaneous interpretation, he was able to understand what Bu Cunzai was saying.

However, there wasn’t any particularly valuable intelligence.

As for Tang Guo, it took her only a few minutes to establish contact with Schultz, who then cracked Bu Cunzai’s password completely in no time.

Bu Cunzai was now under total surveillance, and for Yang Yi and the entire Organization of Water, Bu Cunzai had no secrets left.

After waiting for Bu Cunzai to berate his subordinates neurotically for a full hour, the highly repetitive and boring conversation finally ended. Following that, Bu Cunzai sent his subordinates away and after a while, he received the first phone call.

"Hello."

"Has the time for the speech been set? I got it, quit nagging, I will prepare it for you, that’s it!"

The conversation was simple. After taking the call with a rough tone, Bu Cunzai ate something, drank a cup of tea, and then turned on his computer.

Tang Guo said loudly, "He’s turned on his computer."

The screen on Tang Guo’s computer had changed, displaying all of Bu Cunzai’s operations.

Bu Cunzai directly opened a document, and then he opened up Mei Zheren’s speech; Yang Yi could even see what part Bu Cunzai was viewing.

Soon after, Bu Cunzai began to edit the speech draft.

Although he hardly dared to believe his own discovery, Yang Yi couldn’t help but say, "Are you kidding me, he’s editing the speech draft? That’s the president’s speech. Could it be that the caller just now was... Mei Zheren?"

Anton gave a soft whistle and said with a wry smile, "Seems like I don’t need to live too long to encounter all kinds of unbelievable events. This is too thrilling!"

Yang Yi was starting to doubt his own conjecture, as Bu Cunzai held no official post, nor had the qualifications, yet he was editing what should be the presidential speech drafted by Mei Zheren’s secretarial team.

Yang Yi felt that if he sold this news as intelligence, he would definitely get beaten up because this intel was so fake it felt like an insult to one’s intelligence.

Finally, the revision of the speech was completed, taking about half an hour.

Filled with a plethora of shoddy wording, nonsensical phrases, and clumsy attempts at emotional appeal, the entire speech draft was as bad as Bu Cunzai’s performance when cursing people out.

Bu Cunzai made another phone call, speaking impatiently, "I’ve written the speech for you, I’m exhausted and I need to rest, don’t call me unless it’s important."

After giving orders in a commanding tone, Bu Cunzai shut down his computer, and then from the eavesdropping device, they could hear the sound of him taking a shower, thanks to Anton placing a bug in the bathroom as well.

Yang Yi said in a grave voice, "Watch the news; if Mei Zheren actually uses this speech draft, it would mean, it would mean..."

Yang Yi couldn’t continue, as he was at a loss for words.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Yi said solemnly, "Anyway, let’s watch the news."

Whether one called it inconceivable or unbelievable, as they watched the news in anticipation, Yang Yi and the others found that in this world, there really are no impossibilities—events that were beyond anyone’s lowest expectations played out right before their eyes.

Mei Zheren delivered a television speech that was identical to the draft provided by Bu Cunzai, word for word.

After watching the news, everyone present fell into stunned silence. After a long time, Xiao Ran turned to the thoughtful Yang Yi and asked, "Should we tell the janitors about this?"

Yang Yi shook his head and said, "Not for the moment, I need to think about it. Hands down, we’ve got exclusive intelligence that would be explosive news if revealed. If we take it to the intelligence market to sell, hmm, I don’t know how much it would be worth."

Kate said softly, "Maybe it’s worth a fortune, or maybe it’s worthless."

After a heavy sigh, Yang Yi lamented, "If we want to bring down Mei Zheren, all we need to do is expose our findings. Then he’s finished, completely finished."

No one else spoke. Yang Yi stood up, his face betraying pain as he said, "Emotionally, I really want to do it, to bring down Mei Zheren and Bu Cunzai. But rationally, I know I shouldn’t."

Tang Guo said angrily, "Why not do it? Mei Zheren and Bu Cunzai are utterly corrupt."

Yang Yi said with a bitter smile, "Because keeping them might be useful. If we sell this intelligence, as long as we find the right buyer, we could fetch a high price. For instance, during the next election campaign, or perhaps we don’t even need to wait that long. We could sell it to the opposition now. Of course, this intel has a lot of potential for manipulation; it’s not so simple."

With a serious expression, Yang Yi waved his hand heavily and said, "I’m wondering, just how deep is the connection between the Grey-cloaked People and Mei Zheren? What’s their relationship? If we rashly divulge this huge scandal, it’s certain that Mei Zheren will be ousted. But our exposure risk is also massive, and we might even arouse the Grey-cloaked People’s suspicions."

Chris said loudly, "We don’t have to do anything. There are certainly many people willing to bring down Mei Zheren. We don’t need to get involved."

Yang Yi shook his head and said, "Selling the intel without keeping it secret isn’t an option. This time we can’t go through the Cicero Family to sell the intel. If we handle it ourselves, the risk is just too great."

After he spoke, Yang Yi appeared resolute and said solemnly, "Pass this intel to the janitors and see what they think. I will talk to them personally."

Yang Yi immediately called Elvin and spoke calmly, "I’ve come across a super explosive piece of news. I can give you this intelligence for free, but I plan to sell it, and you have to promise me that my interests won’t be affected after you get this intel."

Elvin immediately said, "Of course, we certainly won’t harm the interests of your role as intelligence brokers and a Spy Organization, that goes without saying."

Then Yang Yi told Elvin the entire situation he had just uncovered.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course."

"You’re serious, you’re not joking, right?"

"Of course!"

"Hmm, can you give me a copy of the evidence? Otherwise, it’s hard to believe that something like this could happen."

Yang Yi said helplessly, "I won’t give you the evidence, as knowing about this is enough. What do you want evidence for? I can guarantee that this news is absolutely true, now, please tell me what you plan to do."

"This is too big. I need some time, wait a moment, I will tell you soon."

Elvin hung up hastily and after waiting for a good ten minutes or more, Elvin called back and said gravely, "Our stance is to observe and let things unfold, to act as if nothing has happened. We’ll make a decision when the time comes, and then we can buy the evidence from you. If you have other plans, we will not interfere; that’s our position."
