Chapter 263 - Are There Any Other Options?
historical
“If he were to use the video taken of his daughter being violated in a lawsuit against the scum, the scum would find a way to argue his way out of it. In the end, it could mean that not only would the scum escape punishment, it could also cause his own daughter even more unbearable humiliation. The client wanted a video of the drug gatherings organized by the scum, probably because he knew that the client’s brother was campaigning for a key position in his company. With a video of a drug gathering, the client could conspire with the enemy of the scum’s brother, and this would cause the scum greater damage!”
The enemy of your enemy is always, without fail, the weapon of choice against your enemy.
Li Meng and Wu Xingye both felt that this was most logical!
“The scum’s brother is so capable and their family is so wealthy. If we’re not careful, the consequences will be dire!” Li Meng suddenly thought.
Wu Xingye snorted and said, “Ha, now you understand how serious it is! Initially, I had told you we should reject this case, but you weren’t agreeable and insisted on taking it on!”
Before the contract was signed, there had been others that could have taken it on if they had rejected it, and there would have been no penalty involved. But now that they had signed it, failure to complete the task or backing out would attract a penalty ten times the value — ten times of a million would be ten million. They couldn’t afford it even if they sold all three of them!
“But we just couldn’t get past it! A decent girl being defiled like this!” Li Meng said angrily.
“If we are unable to complete the mission and leave any tracks behind us, then the girl could end up being worse off!” Wu Xingye did not sound any less angry.
“Hence, we have to complete this mission successfully!” Mu Huan concluded.
“We can’t even get into the VIP area, how are we going to do a recording?” Wu Xingye had spent all day thinking of how to get in but had arrived at no solution.
He had even studied the ventilation duct and found that it wouldn’t work!
Mu Huan looked at Wu Xingye and said as she suddenly flashed him a flattering smile, “Big Brother Xingye...”
Wu Xingye shuddered involuntarily and replied, “I feel that what you’re about to suggest would be something that I wouldn’t like and wouldn’t want to do. So please, don’t call me that! And do not say what you want to say!”
“So then, are you prepared to pay up ten million? Even if we split that equally among us, each of us would have to shoulder over three million. I have a rich husband and I’m not afraid. Xiao Meng is my best friend, so I’ll bear her portion. What about you?”
Wu Xingye: “...!!!”
She spoke like he wasn’t her friend!
“Fine... fine, say it, then, say it!”
“Look at this page of information on the scum,” Mu Huan said as she pointed at the document in her hand.
“What about it?” The information was collated by Wu Xingye and he knew what was on that page without having to look at it. However, he didn’t know why she wanted him to have a look at it.
“Look at it carefully. You’ll find that this page of information is prompting us that the scum is bisexual. He likes women, but he likes men too — and even more so, good-looking guys like you!”
Wu Xingye: “...!!!”
He knew it! Nothing good would come from her!
“I decline!”
“If you decline, then there are only the females like Xiao Meng and me to try to seduce him and get into the VIP private room. Seduction involves using the body, and being married, do you think I can do this? If not, are you going to let Xiao Meng do it? Let Xiao Meng be subjected to the scum?”
Wu Xingye: “...!!!”
“Big Brother Xingye, I’ll not shortchange you. After the mission, we’ll give you a fraction of our earnings!”
Li Meng quickly added, “And buy you a big meal!”
“Do I have any other options?” Wu Xingye looked at Mu Huan.
