Chapter 82
Brother Dao’s eyes widened in disbelief. The moment he saw Gao Weimin closing in, he spun around and tried to run.
But he was nowhere near as fast as Gao Weimin. Gao Weimin darted forward and subdued him with ease.
The next second, Gao Weimin drove his knife into Brother Dao’s neck with swift, ruthless precision.
Blood gushed from the wound.
Brother Dao died with his eyes still wide open. Lin Sicheng looked disgusted as he ordered one of his lackeys, “Drag him away. Filthy. And don’t waste the organs. Before the body gets cold, check whether the corneas, kidneys, or anything else are still usable.”
The lackey quickly dragged Brother Dao’s corpse away.
“So… starting now, I’m the boss here?” Yun Jianyue pointed at herself. This all felt far too surreal.
What kind of criminal organization had higher-ups this brainless? Infiltrating a criminal organization and becoming its boss had been ridiculously easy!
Lin Sicheng nodded. “That’s right. You’re the boss here now. But to make sure you’re loyal, we still have to follow the usual procedure.”
Lu Changxue was startled. Wasn’t Fourth Brother supposed to be a total meathead? How had he suddenly remembered there was a procedure to follow?
Wait, what was the procedure again?
An ominous feeling rose in Yun Jianyue’s heart.
Sure enough, Lin Sicheng shot one of his men a look, and the man brought over a syringe.
“A little something that’ll make you very happy. Work hard for Fourth Brother from now on, and you can have as much of this as you want. But if you’re an undercover agent, well… you’re in for a world of pain!” Lin Sicheng’s normally guileless grin looked incredibly sinister now.
He might look like he didn’t have much going on upstairs, but that was only how he looked.
He wasn’t actually foolish enough to hand this entire operation over to someone of unknown origins without taking precautions.
Then Lin Sicheng pointed at Lu Changxue. “Both of you inject it.”
Yun Jianyue accepted the syringe expressionlessly, then clicked her tongue. “With an operation this big, you only have one syringe? What if we catch an infection?”
Lin Sicheng froze, then abruptly smacked the lackey upside the head. “What kind of half-assed job is this?! You think an operation as big as mine can’t spare another syringe?!”
The long-suffering lackey was speechless.
And so, he pulled out another syringe and handed it to Lu Changxue.
Lu Changxue couldn’t have cared less. She was a ghost. They could inject this body a hundred times for all she cared.
As for Yun Jianyue, she had the Illusion Technique. What did she have to be afraid of?
The woman and the ghost injected themselves without the slightest hesitation, leaving Lin Sicheng dumbfounded.
“You two seriously aren’t going to think it over first?” Lin Sicheng looked utterly aghast.
Everyone in the underworld knew what that stuff was. The higher-ranking members like them, in particular, would never touch it!
Yet these two young women had injected themselves without even hesitating?
Now he truly believed there was no way they could be undercover agents. They were simply willing to risk their lives for money! What undercover agent could inject that stuff without batting an eye? None of the moles he’d planted in other organizations could ever pull off something like this.
Yun Jianyue gave Lin Sicheng a deeply disapproving look. “Nothing can stand in the way of me making money.”
Lin Sicheng raised both thumbs at Yun Jianyue. “Impressive! I should’ve replaced Little Dao with you ages ago! From now on, you’re Sister Hua around here! Come on, Fourth Brother will personally introduce you to everyone!”
Lin Sicheng summoned all the higher-ups involved in the operation, then excitedly took Yun Jianyue by the hand.
“From today onward, there is no Brother Dao here. There’s only Sister Hua! Do you understand?!”
Sister Hong: ???
Brother Wolf: ???
Doctor Jian: ???
Si Wuming: …That man’s hand is such an eyesore. I’ll find a chance to chop it off.
All the old hands stared at Yun Jianyue with strange expressions. They just couldn’t figure it out. How had Yun Cuihua pulled this off? She hadn’t even been here a week, yet she’d already taken out Brother Dao and replaced him?
Yun Jianyue adapted to her change in status remarkably quickly. Beaming, she greeted everyone. “Xiao Hong, Little Wolf, Xiao Jian, Xiao Si!”
Everyone: “…”
Just yesterday, they’d still been Brother This and Sister That. Today, they’d all been demoted to Little This and Xiao That.
Only a certain Xiao Si knew how to play along. Obediently, he called out, “Sister Hua.”
“Now that’s what I like to see! Reward him!” Yun Jianyue reached into her pocket, only to find it completely empty. She blinked and turned to stare at Lin Sicheng.
Lin Sicheng was baffled. “You’re the one rewarding him. Why are you looking at me?”
Yun Jianyue replied with perfect confidence, “I just took over. Where would I get any money?”
Lin Sicheng thought it over and found her logic surprisingly sound, so he had one of his men toss Si Wuming twenty thousand yuan.
From a blind spot where no one else could see, Yun Jianyue silently mouthed at Si Wuming: That’s mine!
That twenty thousand was hers! The Show-Off King had better not pocket it!
The puppy nodded. The puppy smiled. The puppy slipped the money into his pocket for safekeeping on Yun Jianyue’s behalf.
“Now that you’ve gotten your revenge, Brother Weimin, isn’t it time you did what you promised us?” Lin Sicheng slung an arm around Gao Weimin’s shoulders like they were the best of friends. His words sounded negotiable, but if Gao Weimin still refused to deliver, Lin Sicheng wasn’t about to let him off easily.
Gao Weimin’s gaze casually swept past Yun Jianyue as he raised his voice slightly. “I promised to tell you the locations of several new bases back home, and I won’t go back on my word. If there’s anything else you want to know, I can sound out my grandfather for you.”
At those words, Yun Jianyue, Si Wuming, and Lu Changxue, two humans and one ghost, instinctively frowned.
What did this criminal organization want that information for? Were fraud and murder not enough for them? Did they also intend to act against Huaxia?
Then Gao Weimin changed the subject. “Since we’re cooperating, you should show me some sincerity. Your online gambling operation looks pretty good. I’d like to play a few rounds myself. Let’s leave it at that for today. Once I’ve had my fun, I’ll tell you tomorrow.”
Lin Sicheng’s pupils practically quaked, though no one could tell with his pupils being white.
Online gambling was out of the question! The dealers at the physical casino were all his people, so he could have them play with Gao Weimin however he wanted. No matter what, his casino would never lose money.
But if Gao Weimin gambled online with all those netizens, then whenever Gao Weimin won, they would win too. Lin Sicheng would suffer a massive loss!
Besides, Gao Weimin was notoriously difficult to please. He would never agree to having a private online gambling stream set up just for him.
“What’s so fun about gambling online? Have Cuihua play with you. You saw her earlier. Her skills are second to none!” Lin Sicheng shoved Yun Jianyue straight in front of Gao Weimin.
Gao Weimin gave Yun Jianyue a faintly disdainful glance. “What’s the fun in playing with just her?”
Lin Sicheng called Sister Hong and the others over, not even leaving Si Wuming out. “How about everyone joins in? Would that work for you, Brother Weimin?”
Gao Weimin still looked somewhat dissatisfied. “There isn’t anyone else, and you don’t have another casino here. I suppose I’ll have to make do.”
Sister Hong and the others hurried off to prepare the gambling equipment. Lin Sicheng secretly pulled Yun Jianyue aside and instructed her, “I don’t know the first thing about gambling. When we start, find a way to funnel money to him. Lose more than you win and keep him happy. Understand?”
“Fourth Brother, you don’t know how to gamble?” Yun Jianyue clearly didn’t believe him. Didn’t everyone in this organization have at least a few tricks up their sleeves?
Lin Sicheng declared righteously, “My big brother said prostitution, gambling, and drugs ruin lives. We must never touch them!”
Yun Jianyue: Amazing.
So they knew perfectly well that prostitution, gambling, and drugs ruined lives. They just reserved them for ruining other people’s lives instead!
