Wandering in the vast darkness

Chapter 89 was borrowed.

Old Shi called General Manager Qu and told him about the matter. General Manager Qu agreed and asked Yu to take the call.

Old Shi handed the phone to Yu Wenhao, and General Manager Qu said to Yu Wenhao:

Yu Wenhao agreed: "Then I'll go to the company tomorrow morning, arrange things in the workshop first, and then deal with Chairman Shi's matter."

Mr. Qu said, "Okay, you can give the phone to Chairman Shi."

Yu greeted and handed the phone back to Lao Shi, who then said to General Manager Qu, "Thank you, Lao Qu."

"It's nothing, a small matter. We're friends, after all, we always help each other out," said General Manager Qu. "However, Chairman Shi, there's something I need to tell you. I lent you Xiao Yu this job during the day for free because he has some special circumstances at home, and he has to drive for a ride-hailing service after get off work..."

Old Shi immediately understood and interrupted President Qu: "I know, I know. Am I the kind of person who's stingy? Don't worry, I won't mistreat him."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Shi greeted Yu and said:

"Xiaoyu, there's another reason I asked you to come and help. It's about this matter. I think it's best if only you and I know about it. I don't want anyone else in my company to know. If word gets out and the other side finds out, and that person who did the planning you mentioned is hiding, it'll be very difficult for us to find him again, right?"

Yu nodded, agreeing with Lao Shi's reasoning.

"Also, I'm out today, and I won't be going back until this is resolved. If you need anything, since you're taking me home anyway, you can just come to my place or call me, and we can meet somewhere else."

Yu said hello.

"Also, I think you definitely can't do this alone; you'll need help. So, you can find someone you trust. As for the cost, just agree to their terms; it doesn't matter. You can cover your daily expenses as well. Oh, and I'll transfer you 100,000 yuan first. Let me know when you've used it all."

Yu Wenhao quickly said, "No need, no need, Lao Shi, I can afford to cover this expense. Once the work is done, I'll get the receipts and ask you for reimbursement. It shouldn't cost much. At most, I'll need to hire someone to help and pay them a small salary. I'll manage that, don't worry."

"Haha, don't worry, don't worry. Old Qu told me that you're a reliable person. As long as you agree to something, I'll do it without hesitation," Old Shi said. "Xiao Yu, look, is there anything else I can help with?"

After thinking for a moment, Yu Wenhao said to the other party:

"Old Shi, are you familiar with the police station? Your company's people don't need to know about this, but I think we still need to inform the police beforehand. Firstly, so they can be prepared. You know those people have a keen sense of smell; they'll run away as soon as they sense danger. As soon as we get the evidence, we'll contact them immediately, and they'd better be able to dispatch officers right away."

"Don't worry about that, Xiao Yu, I'll take care of it," Lao Shi said.

"Also, we need to give them a heads-up. Since our people are going to infiltrate their ranks and gain their trust, they'll definitely have to fabricate some things, including stirring things up on the sidelines. We don't want them to be arrested as accomplices," Yu Wenhao said.

"Okay, I'll handle the arrangements. You just focus on your work," Old Shi said.

Yu Wenhao said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything too outrageous."

"Don't worry, don't worry," Old Shi said. "What else?"

"Deceased, could you provide some information on that Xiao Fu? I'd like to see what angle to use to infiltrate his network, under what identity?" Yu Wenhao said.

"Sure, sure, his employment information is on my phone, I'll send it to you right away. By the way, we haven't added each other on WeChat yet. Come on, Xiao Yu, let's add each other on WeChat."

The two added each other on WeChat, and Lao Shi immediately sent the deceased's information to Yu Wenhao. Yu Wenhao opened it and saw that the deceased was 26 years old this year, which was really young. Perhaps it was because he was young that he did not take care of his body.

Yu Wenhao thought back to when he was that age; wasn't he the same? When everyone got together to drink, they would drink until they were completely drunk, not stopping until several people were passed out. If there was any conflict with someone, their catchphrase was, "Let's fight them!" Fight to the death, of course! When you're young, who doesn't feel like they have nine lives to squander, to fight again and again?

Yu asked Lao Shi, "Is young Fu still unmarried?"

"no."

Do you have a girlfriend?

"It seems like there is one," Lao Shi said. "Xiao Fu is usually quite introverted and doesn't get along well with his colleagues. People around him don't know him very well either. They only know that he seems to have a girlfriend, but after the incident, this woman has never shown up. She's probably too scared to even try to distance herself from him."

Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.

After dropping Lao Shi off at his home in Jiuxi Rose Garden, Yu Wenhao continued driving and picking up passengers. However, today, unlike usual, he remained silent while driving. He didn't chat with his customers about anything and everything. He was lost in thought, or rather, refining his plans in his mind as he drove.

He figured out the fastest, most direct, and least suspicious way to infiltrate the other party's territory: find someone to appear as Xiao Fu's girlfriend.

Pretend you've just come back from outside and rush over. The other party, especially the person who orchestrated this, will definitely be happy to see that you now have another girlfriend, seeing it as another important bargaining chip.

The plan was based on the gamble that Xiao Fu's parents had never met his girlfriend before. Yu Wenhao thought to himself that introverted people like Xiao Fu usually wouldn't even open up to their parents about their feelings.

Fortunately, it seems that Xiao Fu's girlfriend is likely hiding and refusing to come out. This is understandable, as many girls would be frightened if they encountered something like this.

This was advantageous to Wenhao and his group, in Wenhao's opinion. Even if Xiao Fu's parents had met Xiao Fu's girlfriend before, the person they sent could easily claim to be Xiao Fu's newest girlfriend, as long as they were adaptable and had good acting skills. This was perfectly normal. As long as the original girlfriend didn't reappear, the deception wouldn't be exposed.

However, the requirements for the person sent are quite high. She must be able to navigate between various people, and she must also trust me a lot and be willing to help.

Yu Wenhao thought of two people who called him "brother," Meng Zhen and Qi Qi. But he quickly rejected Meng Zhen. Meng Zhen was too serious, a bit stubborn, not tactful enough, and she had no talent for being an actress.

Undoubtedly, Qiqi is the most suitable person in every respect; she has the ability. However, what makes Yu Wenhao hesitate is that this is not something that can be done in a day or two. To completely gain the other party's trust and do this well, it will take at least a week of planning.

Since Qiqi is appearing as Xiao Fu's girlfriend, she'll definitely need to be around his parents 24/7, meaning she can't go to work. And every day Qiqi misses a day of work means a loss of over three thousand yuan in tips. Three thousand yuan a day for appearances is too high; it's a bit unaffordable.

Although Lao Shi had said that Yu Wenhao could decide for himself who to hire and how much to pay the helpers, Yu Wenhao was a sensible person. He always knew his limits and wouldn't ask for exorbitant prices. Although more than three thousand a day was the actual amount that should be paid to Qiqi, Yu Wenhao still felt it was a bit expensive.

But apart from Qiqi, it seems like there's no one more suitable for me.

After thinking for a long time, Yu Wenhao decided to talk to Qiqi about it later.

He sent Qiqi a WeChat message, saying, "Drink less tonight, I have something to discuss with you later."

More than ten minutes later, Qiqi replied on WeChat: "I didn't see it just now, I know, brother."
