Chapter 601 - 599: Xue Kong’s Suspicion
"What on earth is going on? Master Xue, if you’re going to insult people, you should at least give a reason."
Hu Fei decided to risk it all. Although he knew Xue Kong was formidable and certainly not someone he could beat, there was a backbone to living. Being insulted like this, without rhyme or reason, really rubbed him the wrong way.
The most important thing is that Zhang Yufei is their Earth Dragon’s big client, and their rice bowls depend on her.
If you speak like this, and they just run off, where would we go to get more? Although the Black Alliance provides substantial funds, resources, and backend support every month, the direct income is only a few million.
But if they themselves obtain profit from customers, it’s not hard to earn ten or twelve million a month. Money, who wouldn’t want more?
"Heh, what’s going on? You brought an undercover agent in yourself and then ask me what’s going on. If you don’t believe me, feel free to let the woman go. Tomorrow, you’ll see how the police take down the Earth Dragon." Xue Kong said casually.
"Huh? Undercover agent? Are you saying Ms. Chen Lin is an undercover agent? That’s impossible, she’s a wealthy woman. We’ve investigated her background thoroughly and there’s nothing suspicious." Hu Fei argued on behalf of Zhang Yufei.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Xue Kong chuckled coldly, "Have you ever seen a wealthy woman built like that? Look at her physique, her arms; she’s clearly a trained fighter. And look at her palms—definitely calloused. If I’m not wrong, she’s a policewoman."
"You’re talking nonsense. I’m no policewoman. Stop making false accusations. I’m just here to buy some goods and make some money. Is there a need to slander me like this?"
Zhang Yufei pretended to be angry, glaring, but inside her heart raced. This man lived up to his reputation; she’d heard from Director Zhao that he was once in the military.
So his alertness was very strong, and being a cultivator, he had an even sharper perception of details.
"Don’t worry, I’ll slowly uncover your facade. You’ll just wait to be caught."
Xue Kong’s lips curled into a lazy smile, sending a chill down Zhang Yufei’s spine, her heart hammered as she thought, this time she’s caught.
At this moment, Zhang Yufei felt fear for the first time, and the first person she thought of was Chen Tianlong.
She wished Chen Tianlong were here. With him around, any problem could be solved. This was the only comfort Zhang Yufei could think of when nearing the brink of collapse.
"Um... Master Xue, you might be mistaken. I’ve checked Zhang Yufei’s information, and she shouldn’t be an undercover agent. Moreover, she just came to inspect the factory. When we ship goods, we won’t be in Earth Dragon anyway. Even if she’s an agent, she can’t do anything to us." Hu Fei boldly stated his inner thoughts.
Indeed, with Earth Dragon’s two thousand strong force and the terrain being so perilous, easy to defend and hard to attack, coupled with their good external relations.
Even if there’s an issue during shipment, it won’t mean total defeat. At least they can’t find their factory, nor see their warehouse—no evidence, no way to act against them.
Anyway, Zhang Yufei did bring the money over; they can profit as usual, regardless of whether she’s an agent.
Not to mention, Hu Fei wouldn’t believe it even if he were beaten to death. How could such a typical wealthy woman possibly be a cop? Must be joking, right?
"Exactly, I also guarantee she’s no undercover agent." Liu Qi had long been taken by Zhang Yufei’s beauty, so at this critical moment, he stepped up to speak.
"Ah, so close to red, close to black, you’re all big fools. Earth Dragon will be ruined by you sooner or later." Void said faintly.
Suddenly changing expression and shouting, "Thankfully, the Gang Leader called me to supervise, otherwise Earth Dragon would be doomed. You’re all just inept fools, blinded by beauty. Don’t you know, current high-tech identities can be fabricated, if they’re police, some temporary data change in the system and bam—a shiny newbie. You can adopt any identity you want, right, little beauty?"
While speaking, Xue Kong scoffed at Zhang Yufei, though his words were questions, they were like knives stabbing Zhang Yufei’s heart. How can someone be so formidable?
He knows this too? Practically a detective.
"Oh? What are you thinking? Surprised I know everything?"
Xue Kong’s expression changed again as he grinned mischievously, "Actually, I know much more. You’re not only an undercover, but there’s a partner within Earth Dragon. He’s at the production line, right? Otherwise, how could you get in and out so easily without evidence?"
"Huh?"
Everyone froze. Although Xue Kong’s words were baffling to some, Hu Fei wasn’t naïve and discerned something suspicious, "Could it be this Boss Chen really is undercover? Damn, if she’s really a cop, we’re screwed."
"Pfft! You’re the cops. Alright, I’m done playing with you guys. Boss Hu, are we still doing business? If so, get me out of here right now. I don’t want to see this lunatic anymore."
Zhang Yufei exploded, but internally she was frantic. She must leave now to deliver the evidence to Director Zhao; otherwise, this sacrifice would be in vain.
"Haha, you see, she’s nervous, wants to escape."
Xue Kong pointed at Zhang Yufei, finding it amusing. He hadn’t even exerted much effort yet but already had her reeling close to revealing her identity. "Do you know what your biggest flaw is? You’re still too green in this."
"Hmph, I don’t know what you’re talking about... Boss Hu, I don’t want to hear this lunatic blabber anymore. Get me out quickly, or we’ll cancel our business." Zhang Yufei felt it was time to employ some tough measures; otherwise, she’d truly be trapped here.
"Well... hiss! So, Master Xue, do you really have evidence to prove Boss Chen is undercover? If not, I’ll send her out. Just looking at her palm calluses doesn’t say much; ordinary people can develop them from activity."
Hu Fei was assisting Zhang Yufei because he truly didn’t believe she was a mole. Besides, he couldn’t bear to let those piles of cash slip away every time he saw them.
"Evidence? Didn’t you hear her? She said I’m a master. How could an ordinary person discern my capabilities? Clearly she knew my identity background all along." Xue Kong smirked coldly and continued, "You guys must be fools. Look at your physique, is it fitting for a wealthy woman?"
