Chapter 1022: Chances

“So he’s the mole Shengtang Morgan Group planted?” Zhang Heng asked.

When Zhang Heng asked the question, Director Zheng and the driver had returned to the car. After closing the door, Director Zheng looked a little surprised. “It seems you already know what’s going on. Initially, I planned to let Mr. G tell you about it.”

“Yes, that’s right, he is the mole, he continued after a pause. “Although many people work for Mr. G, not every one of us believes in the future Mr. G wants to build. We are now walking on a road of thorns, and the faith of some would inevitably be shaken. Other than the first level, our opponent, Shengtang Morgan Group, could draw resources from the entire Shanghai 0297. They often offer bargaining chips hard to refuse.”

Director Zheng glanced at his ex-colleague on the ground.

“Unfortunately, his conviction was not firm enough, and he eventually lost to his greed.”

“I told you that I’m not driven by greed. They found me first and threatened me with my daughter, son, and wife. I was forced to work for them!” The bodyguard on the ground became emotional. “We have known each other for so long. You should have known what kind of person I am. I will not betray Mr. G because of money. As for you guys, you know that the people from Shengtang Morgan approached me, right? As a result, not only did you not provide me with protection, but you used me to provide false information to them. You even killed my daughter, son, and wife afterward!”

Director Zheng shook his head. “We did give you a chance to confess your crime. Just the day after Shengtang Morgan Group bought you over, I asked you several times if you have had any trouble in your life recently. But all you told me was you’re arguing with your wife if you should send your child to the elementary school at the third level.”

“A week later, we went to investigate the Bosozoku. I once again hinted at you euphemistically. I told you that no matter what mistakes you’ve made, it is not too late to turn back. However, you have no intention to tell us everything honestly. And you even asked me why I became so naggy recently. Two hours ago, I emailed you and asked you to have barbecued food with me at a restaurant. However, you told me that you wanted to put your daughter to sleep.”

“Stop lying that I never gave you a chance to turn back to us. Your family could have survived, but in the end, they died because of you. That’s right! You are the real murderer who killed them. Not me or Mr. G.,” Director Zheng said coldly.

His words were like a sharp knife stabbing the chest of the man on the ground. In the end, he broke down and cried, “I… I really didn’t expect this matter would take a worse turn.”

“Yes. We always assume that we can get lucky. This is one of the flaws in our human genes. In the end, we all need to pay the price.”

“Give me another chance,” the man on the ground pleaded, “I am not afraid of death, but I am not willing to die as a traitor. I would be embarrassed to face my family if I die like that. Like everyone, I firmly believe that that day will come. My faith is just as strong as everyone. I don’t expect to return to Mr. G to continue to protect his safety, but now it’s time you guys need more manpower. I believe that there will be a job that suits me. Yes, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will not take a step back!”

“I can’t call the shots on this matter. I’d better wait for you to meet Mr. G and ask him directly,” Director Zheng said, “My task tonight is to send you to him.”

Feng Zi, on the side, was completely surprised by the conversation between the two. After a while, she pulled someone’s clothes and whispered, “What the hell is going on? I thought the promise of a better future is just a slogan that they use to deceive outsiders?”

“No, what they are saying is true. But the future is probably not as good as most of them think,” Zhang Heng said casually.

…

The black MPV finally stopped outside a private garden that Zhang Heng had visited before.

And Mr. G was sitting at the table where he met Zhang Heng last time. He was holding a teacup in his hand. Although it was late, he was still neatly dressed, and there was not a hint of sleepiness on his face.

What was going to happen tonight was too important to him. Even if he was lying in bed, he would not be able to shut his eyes, especially when the last person on the special operations team lost contact with him. At that time, not even Director Zheng dared to approach him.

It was not until he received another email from Zhang Heng that Mr. G’s mood improved again. And now, when he saw Zhang Heng again, the look in his eyes became a little more complicated. He had too many questions to ask Zhang Heng. For instance, how did the latter kill all of the emergency response team by himself, how did he forcibly snatch the memory encoder from his special operations team, and how did he get out from the burning Four Continents Hotel? However, all these questions didn’t seem that important anymore. In the end, Mr. G only said three words.

“Please sit down.”

Director Zheng pulled the chairs out for Zhang Heng and Feng Zi. After that, he pushed the bodyguard who betrayed Mr. G to his feet. However, Mr. G did not look at the latter. He placed his hands on the table and looked into Zhang Heng’s eyes.

“Well, I admit that you have won this round. Let’s negotiate.”

“I need you to extract the tracking device from my head.”

“No problem,” agreed Mr. G. “You deserve it.”

Zhang Heng then pointed at Feng Zi. “She is wanted in the city now, and she needs a new identity to start over. Other than that, you’d better help me prepare a new identity as well because one of my friends might need it. ”

“Are you talking about the female streamer you live with? No problem, in fact, as long as I get what I want, not only can I give them new identities, but I can also let them live on the fifth floor.”

“Lastly, I want fifty shellac records. Collect them for me before you make any move,” Zhang Heng continued.

This time, Mr. G was taken aback, “Shellac records… what are those?”

After that, Director Zheng whispered something into Mr. G’s ear. Mr. G then frowned. “You are collecting this kind of outdated records? Why?”

“There is no reason why. I just want them. They make me happy,” Zhang Heng said.

“I’m fine with all your conditions so far. As for the last one, I am not sure if I can find so many shellac records for you in such a short time. Although they are not valuable, they are indeed scarce. Maybe you can give me more time to find the shellac records for you.”

“No. You seem like you need a better idea of what’s happening right now. I am not here to negotiate with you.” Zhang Heng did not avoid Mr. G’s gaze, “Earlier, you gave me a chance to become your courier. Now, I’m also giving you a chance to do these three things that I asked for. After that, I will consider giving you the memory encoder.”
