Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 168 Mission: Impossible

Hu Yingshao felt that continuing to remain silent was not a good idea.

In his view, the messenger must have been unable to make a living in the bounty hunter circle of Neva City because of his red name, so he came to the unfamiliar territory of Thousand Flowers to make a living.

Don't assume that a little bit of credibility is just a warning.

Even though everyone in Nevada knows that the messenger is an honest, kind, and capable man, no one dares to hire him.

Because a certain level of credibility represents the attitude of the Asian Federation, anyone who dares to help him is expressing dissatisfaction with the Asian Federation.

For example, in the year the incident occurred, a butcher sympathized with the messenger's plight and, out of indignation, invited the messenger to be his bodyguard.

Before a week had passed, the business owner's business was simultaneously investigated by various departments, including industry and commerce, taxation, environment, health, and quality inspection.

It's not that there's anything wrong with their products; they're just here for a "routine inspection."

However, during the inspection period, your company will need to cease operations and temporarily stop selling your products to facilitate the review.

When will the examination be completed?

Once the chickens have finished eating the rice, the dogs have finished licking the noodles, and the fire has burned through the lock, it will naturally be unsealed. What's the rush?

Is the boss in a hurry? Of course he is.

You have to understand that if you're in the fresh meat business and sales are suspended, the losses are like a dam bursting; the money lost every day could pile up into a small mountain.

The boss was very tough at first, but reality is cruel.

During the day at the company, he has to deal with inquiries from various departments, reports of company losses, and protests from his employees.

When I got home in the evening, I had to face my family's questions.

His business partners also gradually began to distance themselves from him.

In just a few days, he felt as if the whole world had abandoned him.

Even the traffic police impounded his vehicle on the grounds of illegal parking.

A billionaire boss relies entirely on taxis for transportation.

The pressure from all sides forced him to become increasingly thin.

In the end, the messenger felt bad and took the initiative to resign.

On the day the messenger resigned, the rice-pecking turkey turned into a phoenix, the face-licking husky turned into a celestial dog, and the burning lock candle turned into a laser.

In less than a day, all departments used quantum speed reading to quickly conclude the review process.

With this boss's example as a warning, who would be so foolish as to hire a messenger?
Asia Union treats Messenger like some live streaming websites treat streamers who don't follow company arrangements: we won't ban you, but you can forget about traffic and recommendations.

Because the messenger had received a medal of honor, the Asian Union wouldn't go too far, but at the same time, he shouldn't expect to receive any commissions.

Therefore, messengers at that time could only support themselves by doing part-time jobs such as delivering packages.

The messenger's story was unknown to ordinary people, but those with a little status were almost all familiar with his deeds.

It's understandable that Hu Yingshao would have the idea that "the messenger is so poor he can't even afford to eat, so he comes to Qianhua to freeload."

No one dared to hire him in Nevada City because everyone had seen what happened to that big boss, but the situation might be different in Thousand Flower City.

Look, we've only just arrived and this hothead Jin Ping'an is already willing to place an order, isn't he?
"How much did Jin Ping'an pay you? I'm willing to pay..."

The messenger bowed and interrupted him: "You're willing to pay three times, right? Can't you people come up with something new?"

"……ten times."

"Hehe." Xin used an interjection to express his attitude.

Hu Yingshao hung up the phone without saying a word; his worst fears had come true.

The messenger didn't take Jin Ping'an's job for the money.

The other party is still that bounty hunter who has won the Medal of Honor, and he has never changed over the years.

Hu Yingshao, feeling incredulous, also hardened his face and said, "Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish."

…………

The call ended, and the messenger turned off the recorder.

He had just put the recorder away and hadn't even caught his breath when Tian Hao and his men rushed in with guns.

"Don't move! Lift...the messenger?"

After seeing the face of the person sitting on the sofa, Tian Hao was stunned.

Didn't you tell us to arrest them? Why did you do it yourself?
"By the time you get here, the person will have vanished." Xin kicked Tao Jun, who trembled in fear. "Don't worry, the criminal has already been subdued."

This situation left the police officers who came to assist in the arrest somewhat bewildered.

Looking at the chaotic environment inside, and the miserable state of Tao Jun at the messenger's feet.

For a moment, they couldn't tell which one was the fugitive suspect.

The group of people stared at each other, all looking at Jiang Kaiji behind them.

Jiang Kaiji pointed at Tao Jun on the ground: "What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and handcuff him and send him to the hospital."

With the leader giving the order, the group finally set off.

"Weren't you suspended?"

After kicking the pistol out from under the sofa, the messenger asked Tian Hao.

Tian Hao rolled his eyes at the messenger: "I'm only temporarily suspended, not fired. What's wrong with me helping out when my colleagues are short-staffed? I haven't violated any rules."

"Say what you will, these are two USB drives he got from Wang Youcai. Keep them safe, don't lose them."

The messenger emphasized the words "don't lose it," making his meaning as clear as possible.

Tian Hao nodded solemnly.

Although the messenger handed Wang Youcai's two USB drives to Tian Hao, Wang Sheng secretly kept the copy for himself.

It's always best to have a backup plan to be safe, and the messenger simply couldn't trust the people in the criminal investigation team.

Moreover, Wang Sheng's USB drive was encrypted, so it couldn't be cracked in a short time.

As for whether Tao Jun will expose the matter of Wang Sheng's USB drive.

He doesn't have the guts.

Putting aside the fact that the messenger, that jinx, was right in front of him, let's just talk about Hu Yingshao's side.

If he resists, he will be severely punished. Hu Yingshao might still give him a break because of his years of undercover work.

If he confesses and reveals that Wang Sheng's USB drive is in his possession, Hu Yingshao will definitely do everything he can to make him 'commit suicide' in the detention center.

Tao Jun made up his mind that as long as the messenger didn't say anything, he would keep this matter buried in his heart for the rest of his life.

He wouldn't speak up unless the messenger got into a fight with Hu Yingshao and threatened to expose the copied USB drive.

Because at that time, the police needed him as a tainted witness to identify Hu Yingshao, which greatly increased his personal safety. They would not sit idly by and watch Hu Yingshao silence him.

Tao Jun was secretly calculating his next move.

Since I'm already caught, I might as well take it easy. I'll be a hero again in eighteen years!
…………

A coffee shop located 5 kilometers away from Tao Jun's apartment.

The alluring Hongying, wearing Bluetooth earphones, was gently tapping the edge of the table with her slender fingers.

Two windows on the computer screen are playing videos.

One is the computer's built-in webcam, which shows Tao Jun's face, and the other is a live feed from Tao Jun's computer.

Hongying rested her chin on her hand, her eyes scanning the folders named after people: "Wow, there's quite a bit of dirt on them."

Have you found Hu Yingshao's video?

A cool, clear voice came from the Bluetooth headset.

"Don't worry, Tao Jun will definitely delete the video anyway. We can just retrieve it from the recycle bin. Controlling his computer now will only alert him."

Hongying gracefully picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee.

“I’m not in a hurry, but Tao Jun doesn’t have much time left. The location of your apartment has been exposed, and the police are heading there.”

Hongying nearly spat out her coffee after hearing this: "No way, this could have been exposed? Who leaked the information? Is that old fox Hu Yingshao trying to use someone else to do his dirty work?"

Upon hearing that the apartment's location had been exposed, Hongying's first thought was that Hu Yingshao had called the police.

Anyway, Tao Jun is already helping him delete the videos containing negative information, so once the videos are deleted, Tao Jun will be no longer needed.

It's perfect to hand it over to the police as leverage to bring down Wang Youcai.

"All I know is that Tian Hao took the initiative to find Jiang Kaiji and said that he had discovered Tao Jun's whereabouts. As for who leaked the information to Tian Hao, it has been less than an hour since the incident, too short a time to find out."

"One hour... so it wasn't Hu Yingshao?"

Hongying gently bit her lower lip and placed her hands on the keyboard.

The unexpected police response disrupted her plans. She had originally intended to stay with Tao Jun for a couple more days and take the opportunity to steal the USB drive.

You should know that each folder inside represents a considerable sum of money.

But now, Hongying can only hurry up and complete the task to get her hands on Hu Yingshao's video.

"Slowpoke! Can't you bring out the speed you have in bed?"

Hongying couldn't help but complain from afar.

Two police cars sped past the coffee shop, making her already anxious heart even more flustered. Based on the speed of the cars just now, it should have been a ten-minute drive from the coffee shop to her apartment.

"This is driving me crazy! Yes, that's the file, click delete now!"

Hongying wished she could remotely control Tao Jun's computer herself.

After waiting for a long time and rummaging through a bunch of folders for more than two minutes, Tao Jun finally dragged Hu Yingshao's video file to the recycle bin.

The script on Hongying's computer ran automatically and quickly restored the two files, then remotely transferred them to her own computer.

"Phew, they're pretty smart to know to format the computer... but it's useless."

After receiving the documents, Hongying immediately encrypted them and then sent them to the person she was talking to via email.

"Did you receive the video file?"

"Receiving".

Hongying was completely relieved. Although it was a pity that she couldn't get her hands on the remaining video files, they were just something she could easily take advantage of anyway. If she got them, she would make a little extra money; if she didn't, she wouldn't lose anything.

Compared to the main task, these are nothing.

If she fails to complete the main task because of these things, she will definitely be in big trouble.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, the Bluetooth headset spoke again: "The final payment has been deposited into this account. Remember to withdraw it within 48 hours."

The account that received the video sent a text document.

After opening it, Hongying noted down the virtual accounts inside.

She copied and pasted the account number, logged in, and frowned slightly after seeing the LTC balance in the account: "Boss, she stayed by Tao Jun's side for two years for your sake. Do you know how I got through those two years?"

"The amount is incorrect?"

"Yes, that's right, but I've risked my life and worked so hard for so long, so it's not unreasonable to ask for a 10% or 5% raise."

Hongying's voice carried a hint of allure: "How about we meet in private? I've been captivated by your voice ever since I first heard it..."

beep.

Hongying snorted coldly: "Ha, you stinky man, you use me and then kick me aside, never wanting to see me again. You really think I care?"

She didn't really want to raise prices at the last minute, nor did she have the guts.

They've already gotten what they wanted, so who cares if you raise the price now?

Have you ever seen anyone raise the price after the other party has received the goods?
Hongying did this simply to find an excuse to flirt with this employer.

The fact that her boss, Song Jie, would send her, his trump card, out for a year or two suggests that the employer must be someone important.

If I could sleep with him for one night, that would be absolutely worth it.

Song Jie doesn't keep idle people under his command. Without some real skills, how could one become Song Jie's top intelligence agent?

Hongying is very confident in her skills and looks; she can straighten you out even if you're gay within three days.

Negotiations failed, so Hongying packed up her laptop. Now that Tao Jun had been arrested, she should leave to avoid the police sending her in as well.

"Oh, miss! I've bought everything you wanted!"

A supermarket deliveryman stopped in front of Hongying, carrying a case of beer and two large bags of vegetables.

Hongying had originally planned to stay at Tao Jun's place for a few more days, so she bought a lot of things, but now she doesn't need any of them.

"I'm sorry, I don't need these things anymore."

Hongying looked very troubled.

"But we've already paid for all of this, isn't it a bit wasteful..."

The delivery guy looked at the pile of stuff in the back of his vehicle with some difficulty.

Hongying said pitifully, "Then you can have these things, brother. Consider it a favor to me, okay?"

She placed her hands on her lower abdomen, bent forward at a 30-degree angle, and under the pressure of her arms, her fair and deep cleavage and the black lace trim around her neck were almost visible, making the delivery guy stare wide-eyed.

He stared intently at the area below Hongying's collarbone, swallowing repeatedly.

"Ah...no...no problem..."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Hongying winked at the delivery guy, then turned and left.

Wearing high heels, her back swayed as she walked, and the deliveryman kept replaying the scene in his mind until she disappeared around the corner.

…………

Wang Youcai, who had just finished a call with Song Jie and was contacting his men to search for the fugitive, suddenly received a call from Hu Yingshao.

This old bastard still has the nerve to call me?

Wang Youcai forcefully suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you want with me?"

Now is not the time to turn against Hu Yingshao. Only when I am arrested can I use my hidden trump card to deliver a fatal blow to this old bastard.

This trump card can only be used in a desperate situation, not as a threat.

This is equivalent to planting a time bomb next to Hu Yingshao, and the other party must not be alerted at all.

If the opponent receives the message beforehand, this card is no different from a useless card.

"Tao Jun has been arrested," Hu Yingshao said in a deep voice.

Wang Youcai sneered: "Heh, was he arrested, or did you send him in?"

He wouldn't believe a single word that old fox said.

Tao Jun was arrested? I think he was dealt with because he was no longer of any use to me, just like me. It just so happens that he can be given the police as leverage to bring me down.

"The messenger did it."

"Since I'm already in there, what does it matter to me who did it?"

Wang Youcai scoffed dismissively.

Knowing the old fox's character very well, he had long anticipated that Tao Jun would end up in jail.

It's just a matter of sooner or later.

No matter how much evidence Tao Jun might provide that is detrimental to him, it doesn't matter. He only needs to focus on the immediate task at hand—getting rid of Jin Ping'an.
