Chapter 317: I Need Your Help with Something
"An artifact exhibition?" Zhuge was taken aback, looking at the other with interest, "Your ideas are always so bold and unfathomable!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Zhuge!" A triumphant laugh echoed from behind the ghost-face mask.
"Tell me, how does this artifact exhibition deal with those pesky flies?" Zhuge asked.
"To put it bluntly, the people in Celestial Dragon Continent are keen on those lost national treasures, so we will take these treasures to Celestial Dragon Continent and hold an exhibition!"
Zhuge frowned, "Isn’t that handing them directly into the hands of the Celestial Dragon Continent people?"
"Mr. Zhuge, don’t rush. Let me explain slowly!"
"We’re holding an artifact exhibition. We’re not afraid of these Celestial Dragon Continent people coming; we’re afraid they won’t come. At that time, just say a few provocative words about the Celestial Dragon Continent, and these flies will swarm in!"
"By then, we’ll deploy heavy guards and capture them all in one go!"
The voice behind the ghost-face mask turned even more sinister, "As long as this batch dies, the Security Management Institute will surely be in chaos. With the character of the Celestial Dragon Continent people, they will definitely shift responsibility amongst themselves, afraid of losing their so-called official positions. At that time, these flies will scatter automatically!"
These words left Zhuge silent. This is a plan where risk and benefit coexist.
Those treasures were acquired through a plan he painstakingly operated for years. If something went wrong, the previous efforts would be in vain.
But it seems, for now, this is the only way to deal with those pesky flies.
Otherwise, Zhuge always felt there’s an undercover nearby, and that feeling of being watched made him very uncomfortable as a higher-up.
"Mr. Zhuge must be worried about those artifacts. I still say, as long as we find enough experts, we can ensure nothing will be lost!"
This time, the words coming from behind the ghost-face mask completely dispelled Zhuge’s doubts.
Yes, as long as we find enough experts, what is there to fear?
"Good idea, Yamazaki, I’ll leave this matter to you!" Zhuge lifted his teacup and drained it in one go.
"Yes!" The figure in the ghost-face mask stood up, bending to bow, "I’ll start preparing for it now!"
"But I need fifty artifacts. Only with enough artifacts do I have a reason to bring enough people, which will be more favorable for the execution of the plan!" As he was leaving, Yamazaki said without turning his head.
Zhuge’s answer was simple, "If you have the confidence, go ahead and do it!"
Once Yamazaki walked out of the room, he made a phone call. Suddenly, fifty dark figures emerged out of nowhere in the Sacred Hall, descending like phantoms to crouch by Yamazaki’s side.
"Get ready, we’re heading to Celestial Dragon Continent!"
"Yes!" All fifty nodded in unison.
...
"My head hurts!"
Early in the morning, Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes, feeling as if his head was about to explode.
He quietly raised his head, looking at the ceiling, his mind replaying last night’s conversation with that mysterious person.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Tian suddenly said, "I vow, from today on, I will change for the better!"
"Bang!"
The bedroom door was suddenly kicked open, startling Lin Tian. He hurriedly got up from the bed.
I just made a vow, does it have to cause such a ruckus?
Looking towards the door, a striking figure in black army boots, black clothes, and black pants caught his eye.
And that figure seemed a bit familiar, it was that woman who pretended to be a female thief before, Chen Moxiang!
"Why are you here?" Lin Tian said in shock.
Lin Tian was genuinely surprised at Chen Moxiang’s arrival.
"There’s something I need your help with!" Chen Moxiang, true to her Security Management Institute demeanor, came straight to the point with no pleasantries or nonsense.
Just telling you, I need your help!
That tone wasn’t even slightly consultative, it was more like an outright notification.
"Help? With what?" Just after asking two sentences, Lin Tian remembered he just vowed to train hard and reform, hastily shook his head, "I’m not interested!"
"I’m telling you, not discussing with you!" Chen Moxiang said sharply.
The blunt words left Lin Tian with no counterargument, my God, you’re asking me for help yet being so unreasonable?
"Not interested, not helping!" Lin Tian flatly refused.
"Get up, get dressed!" Chen Moxiang immediately proceeded to snatch Lin Tian’s blanket.
"Hey hey, what are you doing? If you keep this up, I’ll report you for indecent assault!" Lin Tian tightly gripped the blanket, saying nervously.
But after speaking, Lin Tian chuckled.
Chen Moxiang is from the Security Management Institute, calling the police probably wouldn’t help.
"If you agree to help, I won’t dwell on the matter between you and Bai Jiaming!"
"If you don’t help, then the matter with Bai Jiaming is enough to land you several years in prison!"
Chen Moxiang patiently sat in front of Lin Tian, saying these words.
Sss.
Lin Tian took a sharp breath, thinking no one knew about this.
Now it seems the whole world knows, and he alone was foolishly naive thinking others were unaware.
The Bai Family knew.
The Security Management Institute knew.
Perhaps the police also know?
Facing such words, Lin Tian found it hard not to comply, nodding numbly, "If I help, can everything be forgiven?"
"Yes! I can cover up this issue!"
Chen Moxiang nodded.
Before coming to find Lin Tian, she had been contemplating whether or not to seek his help.
But faced with one undercover agent’s brutal death after another’s disappearance.
Chen Moxiang truly had no options left, especially with an artifact exhibition soon to be held by the adversaries.
Although she wasn’t present when Lin Tian killed two Sakula Country shinobis.
She had inquired about it afterwards, and coupled with the physical contact that night with Lin Tian.
She understood Lin Tian was definitely not a simple student, his skills were exceedingly formidable.
Added to the recent manpower shortage, she came to ask for Lin Tian’s aid out of necessity.
For this purpose, she had even investigated any recent leverage over Lin Tian.
The intent was to ensure Lin Tian wouldn’t refuse.
It now appears that the prior efforts hadn’t been in vain.
"So shouldn’t you first tell me what I need to help with?" Lin Tian asked, not fully consenting yet.
"Get up and come with me, you’ll find out!" Chen Moxiang gestured, heading outside, "Hurry and freshen up, I’ll wait outside!"
Watching Chen Moxiang’s receding figure, Lin Tian was bewildered, utterly astonishing that even the Security Management Institute needed his help?
What a big deal could it be?
Nevertheless, Lin Tian didn’t delay any longer, quickly dressed and washed up swiftly.
Five minutes later, he was out of the room.
"Come with me!" Chen Moxiang motioned him over, and the two headed outside.
Chen Moxiang drove, with Lin Tian seated in the passenger seat, unable to restrain his curiosity, "What issue could the Security Management Institute possibly fail to resolve?"
"This matter is a bit complicated..."
