Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

"How's it going?"

Chen Jiajun looked at the newspaper and spoke to the intelligence officer.

The intelligence officer chuckled and said, "Dubenrich is truly a cunning old fox. Nathan and his team almost failed in their trap. Fortunately, that woman named Sophie used information from Pearson Airlines to lure them in!"

Chen Jiajun immediately burst out laughing: "Hahaha, this Dubenrich really has 'true love' for Pearson! Is he so obsessed with Pearson's drawings after getting them?"

The intelligence officer chuckled and said, "Both of them are Yale graduates, but Pearson bullied Dubenridge when he was younger, so..."

"Ha, American tradition, school bullying!" Chen Jiajun curled his lip in disdain: "No wonder there are so many school shootings."

The intelligence officer scratched his head and said to Chen Jiajun, "I have a feeling that this Dubenrich is not so easy to deal with."

Chen Jiajun turned his gaze back to the newspaper and said calmly, "If Nathan Ford doesn't even have a contingency plan, I really have to question the judgment of IYS Insurance Company."

"By the way, why does this professional con artist named Sophie look so familiar to me?"

The intelligence officer frowned and said, "This woman named Sophie has a very vague background. Even we can only find information about her from the last few years. As for anything beyond that, it's a complete blank!"

"It seems... that some force has completely erased all information about her! I suspect she might be connected to several intelligence agencies."

Chen Jiajun said with some surprise, "Oh? This is quite interesting!"

……

Two days later, early in the morning.

Nathan and his team set up their setup in front of an office building.

Since they intend to use Nigerians, they have to go all out with their act.

What Nathan and his team didn't expect was that Dubenrich would play by his own rules.

They arrived at the office building an hour early.

Nathan, who was keeping watch outside, immediately notified Sophie: "Sophie, he's arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Sophie, who was busy at the time, was completely taken aback: "What? No way, I'm not ready yet!"

“If you don’t meet him in the lobby right away, he’ll look up our office number in the building’s company directory! Guys, our company number isn’t in the directory!” Nathan said anxiously.

"Why not?" Spencer asked an idiotic question.

Hudson rolled his eyes, looking speechless, and said, "I don't know, maybe... because we're a fake company!"

Sophie quickly walked towards the elevator, but unfortunately the elevator didn't come for a long time. She said anxiously, "I can't wait for the elevator!"

Upon hearing this, Nathan immediately stood up, pulled out his baton, and said, "Alright, I'll distract him!"

As he spoke, Nathan grabbed the baton in his hand and smashed it down on the window of a car parked on the side of the road.

The windows of several cars were smashed in succession, and the piercing alarms sounded almost in unison, which immediately attracted the attention of many people, including Dubenridge.

Meanwhile, Parker came to Sophie's aid.

She dressed Sophie in her usual harness for suspending steel cables, and then jumped down from the stairwell of the tenth floor with Sophie in tow.

Sophie screamed in fright!
Fortunately, she was fast enough that Sophie arrived at the office building lobby and found Dubenrich within ten seconds.

This guy almost entered the company name to search.

Seeing Sophie approach, Dubenrich said with a smile, "You really look radiant!"

Sophie was startled and could only explain, "I'm just too excited."

Sophie's timely arrival averted the crisis, bringing a sigh of relief to everyone.

After all, setting the trap today is crucial to whether this matter can succeed.

Sophie invited Dubenrich into the elevator, and while inside, she suddenly said, "Pay attention to this: those gentlemen who offer you opportunities to cooperate with African governments want some... compensation. Of course, this doesn't count as bribery!"

Dubenrich immediately revealed a knowing smile: "A middleman's commission."

“That’s exactly what I mean!” Sophie said with a smile.

However, Dubenrich asked curiously, "Isn't your job to prevent corruption and illegal profiteering?"

Sophie explained, "No, my job is to keep things under control within a certain range."

Dubenrich nodded immediately, a knowing look on his face.

Upstairs in the office, Spencer, disguised as a cleaner, changed the office sign.

After all, they set a trap for both sides this time, first meeting with the Nigerian in Dubenrich's name.

Then, using a fictitious company, they arranged for Dubenrich to meet with the Nigerians.

Nathan's arrangement was quite clever; soon Sophie brought Dubenrich to meet the Nigerians.

After the two parties agreed on the details, Dubenrich secretly slipped a check into his hand.

The Nigerian then returned a portion of the "commission" to Dubenrich.

The conversation between the two seemed to be going very well, which meant that Nathan's plan had succeeded.

After seeing Dubenrich and the Nigerians off, Nathan and the others walked out of the office building.

Nathan asked Sophie, "Did you get him?"

Sophie said confidently, "It's completely under control!"

"Great, let's get out of here. We have a lot to do tomorrow!"

But before leaving, Sophie asked Nathan with some concern, "Will the plan succeed?"

“Absolutely no problem!” Nathan said with great confidence.

……

"Boss, it seems like Nathan's situation has run into a bit of trouble!" The intelligence officer, who had been observing Nathan and his team's movements, returned to report to Chen Jiajun: "That cunning guy, Dubenrich, seems to have discovered something! Should we intervene?"

Without looking up, Chen Jiajun said, "You underestimate IYS's insurance surveyors!"

"Huh?" the intelligence officer said, somewhat bewildered, "But..."

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "Since Nathan dared to do this, he must be absolutely certain! Underestimating him will make you suffer!"

“But… Dubenrich seems to have discovered the listening devices they’ve installed.” The intelligence officer said, frowning. “Dubenrich is more cunning than we thought!”

"How do you know this wasn't arranged by Nathan and his group?" Chen Jiajun said helplessly. "Be patient. Don't jump to conclusions before things are fully resolved, especially when dealing with these smart people!"

“Silva is getting old; he can’t always clean up your messes. If he passes away, am I supposed to come and teach you how to do these things every time?”

Chen Jiajun's biggest headache right now is the problem with his own intelligence agency.

Although his young demon slaves were capable and loyal, they were too simple-minded.

Although they control a huge intelligence agency, they ultimately only follow orders.

Silva's own recruits were too diverse, and there were also many spies planted by other intelligence agencies, so Chen Jiajun simply couldn't trust them.

That's why Silva, this veteran, has been dragging his feet on retiring until now.

Chen Jiajun sighed, dismissed his intelligence personnel, rubbed his temples, and continued looking at the documents.

……

Meanwhile, Dubenrich found his assistant to help him.

The assistant was terrified and quickly refused, saying, "This is absolutely insane! This is too risky! Our plan to steal the design blueprints is already risky enough..."

"Shut up and come with me!" Dubenrich pulled his assistant to his office, then bent down to look at the "bug" under his desk.

The assistant's rambling conversation abruptly stopped. Dubenrich saw the shock in the assistant's eyes, then told him to be quiet and led him out of the office.

"What is that?" the assistant asked in surprise.

Dubenrich sneered, "Bugs! They can hear everything I say!"

"Who are they?" the assistant asked, puzzled.

Dubenridge produced a photograph that he had taken when he hired a private investigator to follow Sophie.

The photo shows Sophie and Nathan talking.

“What do you think?” Dubenrich said smugly to his subordinate, “I’ve also checked, there’s no African Business Federation office in this city at all! They set me up, I know exactly what they’re up to! We’ll see tomorrow! Now go and notify the FBI!”

The assistant nodded quickly: "Yes, sir!"

The following day, at Bering Airlines' shareholders' meeting.

Dubenrich's assistant was still somewhat worried, after all, if things escalated, he would also be in trouble.

So he repeatedly asked, "Do you really know their intentions?"

“They’re furious and are trying to make me pay!” Dubenrich said smugly. “What a coincidence that it happened to coincide with the shareholders’ meeting, the wiretapping, the fake office, the cash bribes, and the Nigerians.”

"My God! Nigerians? This is like a despicable email scam, with Nigerian bank fraud emails on the bus! Do they really think I'm a fool to let them lead me by the nose? They'll soon find out they're so wrong!"

Dubenrich's eyes gleamed with amusement; all he had to do now was wait for Sophie to come to him.

Meanwhile, Nathan and the others got some clothes and went out.

Meanwhile, Sophie has already met with the Nigerian delegation.

Both parties arrived together at the Bering Airlines reception.

Seeing the somewhat reserved Black people, Dubenrich said directly to Sophie, "Why don't we get things done now?"

"Now?" Sophie seemed a little surprised.

"Correct!"

"Have all the funds been raised?"

“Of course!” Dubenrich grinned. “We can finalize the deal now, and I’ll release the announcement to make headlines. No need to waste time here. I’ll take them to the conference room! Go on, and get to it!”

Sophie paused for a moment, then said to Dubenridge, "I'll be right back!"

Soon Sophie walked up to the Nigerians and said something, and then the two sides went to the conference room.

After the two sides sat down, the Nigerian representative said, "I think we are both clear about the terms of the contract!"

Dubenrich, looking confident, said, "What I'm trying to say is, the real contract terms are... this!"

As he spoke, Dubenrich pressed a button on the phone, and soon a group of people rushed into the conference room.

The leader shouted, "FBI, don't move! Gentlemen, are you alright?"

Dubenridge, thinking the FBI was talking to him, said smugly, "Thanks for your concern, things are going well!"

But he soon realized something was wrong; the FBI agents hadn't taken control of the group of Nigerians, but instead surrounded him.

Two FBI agents even grabbed DuBenridge's hands, ready to arrest him.

Dubenrich was immediately stunned: "What are you doing? Wait, wait a minute, let me go!"

Seeing that the guy had something to say, the FBI agent waved his hand and let him go.

Dublinridge said irritably, "What are you all looking at me for? The criminals are sitting right there, look at them! Listen, I'm the one who notified Special Agent Higgins, you can call to confirm..."

At that moment, the lead agent flashed his badge: "I am Special Agent Higgins! Victor Dubenrich, you are under arrest for allegedly accepting bribes from Nigerian government officials."

Dubenrich immediately panicked: "I didn't, they're not Nigerians at all!"

At that moment, the Nigerian representative walked over and pulled out his passport: "Who says we aren't?"

Two consecutive reversals left Dubenrich completely bewildered. He shook his head, looking utterly incredulous, and said, "No, that's not right..."

The Nigerian representative said coldly, "Your female subordinate already knew when she contacted us last week..."

"My female subordinate?" Dubenrich immediately realized: "Anna?"

At this moment, Dubenrich looked towards the doorway, but there was no sign of Sophie anywhere.

Dublin quickly explained to Agent Higgins, "Listen, that Anna is one of theirs!"

"Nonsense!" The Nigerian representative immediately denied the claim: "She contacted us in your name, saying she could represent you fully!"

Dubenrich's mouth dropped open: "No, that can't be! She took me to your office!"

“No, we don’t have an office in this city!” the Nigerian representative said firmly. “We met her at your company!”

Dubenrich was struck dumb, completely stunned.

However, he didn't have time to sort things out, because today was the shareholders' meeting.

He immediately rushed downstairs, intending to calm the company's shareholders down first.

At this moment, a large number of police cars rushed towards Bering Airlines, leaving all the shareholders looking at each other in bewilderment.

The company's CEO grabbed Dubenrich and demanded, "What exactly is going on?"

Dubenridge was momentarily at a loss for words, and said in a flustered manner, "Listen to me, Tom, this is a complete misunderstanding!"

But Agent Higgins wasn't about to give DuBenridge any face, and loudly proclaimed to the crowd, "Is anyone else involved in the bribery case?"

Upon hearing Higgins' words, the shareholders exchanged bewildered glances.

The Nigerian representative followed up, adding insult to injury for Dubenrich: "I gave this guy an envelope with a check for 200,000 in cash inside!"

Dubenrich immediately denied it: "No, that's not true! I didn't take... I..."

As he was speaking, Dubenrich suddenly remembered something very serious.

It was a "kickback" he received from Sophie during their previous conversation.

Higgins said coldly, "If you don't cash the checks, that's still optimistic!"

"I don't!"

Do you keep the checks?

"I never received a check!"

At that moment, another FBI agent walked over: "Sir, we sent people to search the research lab and seized the documents and computers!"

“Well done!” Higgins nodded.

Dublin immediately stopped Higgins: "Higgins, you can't do this! You can't take my computer."

Higgins turned to DuBenridge with amusement and said, “Your company has signed a defense treaty, and the foreign-related clauses are very serious. The Patriot Act applies to this!”

"Sir, I can take your underwear right now!"

Dubenrich turned to look at the Nigerian, and for a moment he was at a loss for words.

Seeing the situation was bad, Dubenrich's assistant rushed back to the lab and ordered his men to start shredding the company's documents.

After all, Dubenridge's plan was somewhat shady, especially for the FBI.

Meanwhile, Nathan and his team of master thieves, dressed in FBI uniforms, ransacked DuBen Rich's office, recovering the stolen hard drive and even adding a little something extra to DuBen Rich's scheme. (End of Chapter)
