Chapter 23

It has absolutely nothing to do with any criminal activity; it's perfectly legitimate.

I chuckled dryly twice: "You look so mysterious, what's going on?"

I saw the shark waving his hand, as if he was having a hard time speaking, but he finally said, "It's very simple once you tell me."

There was a great scientist who had an idea. I know absolutely nothing about science. He was researching...

His research requires a highly confidential environment, which is why he wants to ask you for help!

The shark has already made its point so clearly; if I were to pretend I don't know, given how shrewd the shark is, it would surely...

On the contrary, it will arouse his suspicion and allow him to see through the flaw.

So, I naturally laughed: "Mr. Sha, you're really clever, or rather, you all are really clever, you don't..."

"They came to ask me to keep a secret, but instead they want me to protect the secret!" The shark laughed too: "You already knew what it was about."

"Han Ze came to see you just now, didn't he?"

I said, "Yes, but he's very timid. He didn't say anything to me and left in a hurry!" The shark said:

"That's because he's clever. As for you, Mr. Wei, if you accept this position, here's your dowry!"

Shark reached out and took the crocodile skin bag from one of his henchmen, placed it on the table, and unzipped it.

The chain opened the purse. I immediately saw it was full of hundred-dollar bills. For a moment…

I couldn't estimate exactly how much. When the purse was opened, the shark stared intently at me; clearly, he wasn't interested in me.

He was truly blind, and there was some doubt in his eyes; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the opportunity to observe my reaction!

But the shark wouldn't gain anything by watching me at that moment, he naturally thought, since most people see so much at once.

When faced with a banknote, one can't help but have a slightly strange expression.

But I have one advantage: while I'm not exactly wealthy myself, I've had many opportunities and witnessed a great deal...

I've seen far more than a handful of dollars, many times more, than this briefcase full of cash; I've seen it more than once, so I can't be completely skeptical.

Without making a sound, the shark raised its voice: "Look!"

I calmly replied, "I can't see!"

The shark reached out and grabbed a wad of US dollars, stuffing it into my hand. I held the wad of bills, stroking them: "Yes..."

"Cash, US dollars?" the shark said. "Yes, it's two million in total. Just nod your head, and it's all yours!"

I let go, letting the banknotes fall: "It's a bit shocking that you'd spend so much to buy me off."

smell!"

The shark stared at me and said slowly, "If it still doesn't work after paying such a high price, that would be truly shocking!"

"

I immediately said, "Mr. Sha, you just assured me that this matter is unrelated to any crime, but as far as I know, there are already two..."

"If someone disappears or dies mysteriously, how do you explain that?"

The shark paused for a moment before saying, "I've already stated that I know nothing about science. According to them, that..."

It was just an accident, definitely not intentional.

I took a breath: "I've heard that sentence countless times, but what kind of accident could cause death?"

Dead and missing?

The shark remained silent, and seeing his grim expression, I continued, "You could easily create another accident, making..."

I also became an unexpected participant, saving myself this money!

Shark's face darkened further. He straightened his posture, revealing the ruthlessness of a mafia boss.

He said, "First, those who offer money don't care about the money at all; second, if you really want to go all the way, then..."

What you've said isn't impossible!

He was making threats, and I chuckled coldly, "Fine, then I'll wait and see!"

The shark suddenly stood up, looking furious, and judging from his expression, he immediately prepared to leave.

But he stared at me for a moment: "Why? You've already paid a heavy price; you've become blind!"

I immediately replied, "Yes, you're right. I've paid a heavy price, so I have to get something back."

Come."

He kicked the coffee table: "This much money is what you can get back!"

I sighed, "Mr. Sha, you don't understand. I don't want money. I already have enough money; I have everything I need."

No amount of money can sway my heart!

He leaned down and yelled at me, "So, what do you need?"

I said, "I need to know the truth of the matter, I need Mr. Guo and Luo Ding to come back, and I need to know the cause of Chen Mao's death!"

"

The shark's breathing was a little rapid, perhaps from anger, or perhaps from the fear caused by my persistence.

He shouted, "You won't get anywhere, you won't!"

I said, "I'm willing to give it a try!"

At this moment, Bai Su walked over, picked up the banknotes that had fallen to the ground, put them into her purse, and zipped it up.

Bai Su, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke in a calm voice: "Mr. Sha, he..."

"You need to rest, please leave!"

The shark stared at Bai Su again. He probably didn't know Bai Su's background and thought that his fierce appearance would scare her.

Before long, under Bai Su's consistently calm and dismissive smile, the shark became embarrassed.

He picked up the briefcase and weighed it in his hand: "Alright, I'll use this money to buy that item back from you, is that alright?"

OK?"

I chuckled: "According to Han Ze, that thing is a camera. Look, it's almost there, just like the American astronauts took it to the moon."

"It's the same price as Liang's, but I'm sorry, it's not for sale."

The shark seemed to have reached its limit, and it suddenly roared, "That thing is of no use to you!"

I remained calm and said coldly, "That's not necessarily true. At least someone is willing to spend that much money to buy from me."

!

The shark glared at me menacingly, but I continued to pretend to be blind, showing no sign of it. The shark turned away.

He and his men walked towards the door, but when he reached it, he stopped and said, "Wesley, your..."

Just as the legend says, but if you insist on not giving up, it won't do you any good.

I sneered and said, "I've heard this kind of threat since I was a child!"

The shark turned around, its face contorted with extreme anger, and said, "I'm not threatening you, but explaining something to you..."

I've already told you this fact: there is no evil in this matter, nor is there anything you'd be interested in!

I raised my voice: "You're wrong. A good friend of mine has disappeared without a trace, Mr. Sha. Is that your..."

masterpiece?"

I saw the shark was furious, but he didn't show it; he just waved his hand, coldly and angrily.

He chuckled and said, "If this is my masterpiece, then I'm a scientist too!"

When I heard his words, I was suddenly shaken.

I truly cannot understand what he meant by saying that. If I were to make a deduction, then...

It was deduced that the disappearances of Xiao Guo and Luo Ding had nothing to do with him; that was a matter for the "scientists." The so-called "scientists," since...

It was Wang Zhiyi and Han Ze!

But why would scientists cause them to disappear?

I saw one of the shark's henchmen open the door, and the shark was about to leave!

In that instant, I felt that if I were to uncover the layers of mystery surrounding this matter, I really shouldn't insist on doing so any further.

In my opinion, at the very least, I should try to get a chance to meet with Wang Zhiyi.

So I immediately said, "Please wait a moment."

The shark stood still without turning around. I said, "You just said that you came to find me on someone's behalf?"

The shark said coldly, "That's right, but I will never reveal who it is."

I didn't even dare to hope for that, because I knew that the person called Shark was definitely the "museum" Han Ze had mentioned.

Who exactly is this "post-host"? It's unimaginable!

I smiled calmly: "I don't want to know who this gentleman is, but I think it's a mistake for him to send you."

error!"

Judging from the shark's silhouette, it was clear that my words had angered him. But angering him was absolutely not my intention.

Therefore, I immediately said, "There is nothing to talk about between you and me. You should send Wang Zhiyi to see me, or..."

Han Ze is also acceptable.

The shark turned around and stared intently at me.

After a long pause, the shark finally said, "You mean, if either of them comes, you're willing to give up?"

This matter?

I said, "You can't say that, but there's room for negotiation. At least, I believe what they say!"

The shark stared at me for a long time before saying, "Okay, I can arrange it for you. You're a smart person!"

I gave a wry smile, this time a genuine one, not a feigned one: "I'd rather be a fool."
