Chapter 8: Tempting One Another
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei is benevolent and close to deceit, Zhuge Liang is wise and close to demons, but the relationship between the two can be described as an unprecedented harmony.
But Fang Ziyu is not Liu Bei, there is no three visits to the thatched house, Jiang Lan is not surnamed Zhuge , and there is no comfort in meeting Bole's bosom friend, the bond between the two is conflict and threat, it is a bloody reality, and there is no warmth.
Jiang Lan repeatedly appeared in front of Fang Ziyu in the image of women's clothing, which was not a means of self-destructing his image and lowering his vigilance, but Fang Ziyu would not relax because of this.
Even Liu Li, a real soft and cute Lori, can't let Fang Ziyu bless herself with an aura of reducing intelligence, let alone Jiang Lan, a mere women's clothing?
Because Fang Ziyu was sober and rational, he could see the abnormality.
Jiang Lan, it's too well-behaved.
Jiang Lan played the role of his right-hand man, not only taking the identity of Fang Ziyu's mysterious person to contact Xu Baiyi and others and complete the task according to the instructions, but also handling trivial matters for Fang Ziyu before and after the saddle, and the only reward for his hard work was to be able to continue to live.
Whoever is in Jiang Lan's current situation, before he tastes the sweetness and benefits, it is impossible to work as hard as him - it is normal to have resentment and seek revenge, how can he be grateful, well-behaved and sensible and deliberately make gifts?
Maybe Jiang Lan was really smart enough, smart enough to let go of hatred and work hard for his own vital interests, after all, only by making Fang Ziyu satisfied with his performance could he be spared torture.
But smart people will not be willing to let others decide their own fate, and Fang Ziyu does not have the aura of a tyrant who can make Jiang Lan loyal, so Jiang Lan must be selfish.
But if this is the case, how could he take the initiative to give a hint, hoping that Fang Ziyu would use the "contract" to control another smart person to share power and balance with him? Didn't he understand that keeping his position irreplaceable as much as possible was the only way to change his situation?
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
Perhaps, Jiang Lan is tempting?
There is only one chance to break the game, Jiang Lan should know very well that with Fang Ziyu's decisiveness and courage, once he shows signs of backlash, Fang Ziyu will not hesitate to abolish him, even if he doesn't kill him, he will feed him another pill to make him an idiot.
But Jiang Lan's understanding of the "contract" is limited to the effect, only a fool will take a risk without any certainty, maybe Jiang Lan has now begun to think about how to oppose the customer, so he took the initiative to let Fang Ziyu use the "contract" to control others.
Perhaps, he was looking for guinea pigs.
Using other people's lives as props for throwing stones to ask for directions is very in line with Jiang Lan's ruthless style.
As for why you are acting so well-behaved? Presumably, one is to deceive Fang Ziyu's trust, and the other is to seek benefits.
Thinking about it from another perspective, Jiang Lan has seen Fang Ziyu's various magical methods, will he not be tempted by this kind of extraordinary power?
Breaking the game rashly, even if it is a fluke, there is no additional benefit, it is just a regain of freedom, and the reward is not proportional to the risk. But if you can get some black technology items that are ahead of the times, it will be very different.
Fang Ziyu speculated about Jiang Lan's thoughts in his heart, but on the surface, he remained silent.
The more you say, the less you say, the less you are wrong.
"Then I'll take the time to look for it, and I hope to find the right person as soon as possible." Jiang Lan saw that Fang Ziyu didn't open his mouth, so he continued, "Before that, I can only spend money to do things and outsource intelligence work to private detectives?" ”
"Yes, but don't look for Zhang Quan, he is too professional and too smart, you may not be able to control it. It's best to find those paparazzi who are amateur and part-time, the asking price is not high, and it is easy to manipulate. After Fang Ziyu finished speaking, he tentatively said on a whim, "You will inevitably be risky if you show up, do you want me to give you a self-defense prop?" ”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lan shook his head: "I have a tracking chip and your little toy on me, it's enough." Unless there's a black tech device that can make me superhuman in a second, it doesn't mean much. Well, let's talk about the second thing, since we want to set up a company to recruit field staff, it is better to simply do something that belongs to us, such as opening a second-hand car agency or car rental company to facilitate Xu Baiyi's car change, and then opening a small restaurant to provide a safe place for secret gatherings. If it is operated properly, it can not only make money, but also provide some cover identity, and to set up an organization, you need a steady stream of investment, you can't be short of money to grab it, right? ”
"Yes." Fang Ziyu nodded again, he also had an idea about this matter, so far he has harvested a large amount of cash twice in black, but grabbing money is not a long-term solution after all.
"This brings me to the third and final thing I want to say, we don't have enough money." Jiang Lan put his thumb on his index finger and middle finger and rubbed it, "The digital currency you handed over to me to take care of, the market value is about one million, you have to open a store this year, spend money like running water, and there is always a profit and loss in business, if you really want to invest in it, you will face a financial crisis if you are not careful." ”
"So?"
"Last time, you told me that you planned to cut Zhou Jinrong and the boss behind him as leeks, and when the time is right, you will make Handong Small Casino a day?" Jiang Lan's face finally appeared with a dangerous and bloodthirsty sneer that Fang Ziyu was familiar with, "Now that we have guns and time, why don't I go to an outpost first, and we will find a chance to do it?" ”
Do you want black to eat black again?
I don't know why Fang Ziyu was a little excited, but this matter has to be considered in the long run.
"The boss behind Zhou Jinrong is called Zhu Tianrun, the education level is not high, in the early years in Pingcheng Chengcheng Dam earthwork business, settled in Pingcheng began to do yellow gambling business, is a fanatical believer in qigong, after the early nineties began to apprentice everywhere, was cheated of a lot of money, but firmly believes that qigong exists, until now will ask the teacher."
Fang Ziyu whispered the information that was tortured from Zhou Jinrong's mouth.
"This person is very careful, he doesn't have a fixed address, he usually doesn't know his schedule, even Zhou Jinrong doesn't know his schedule. However, every once in a while, he would go to see a doctor on an old street that was about to be demolished, and he was a self-proclaimed 'medicine elder'. I'll give you a few days off, you go to Pingcheng to find this medicine elder, and see if you can wait for Zhu Tianrun. ”
Jiang Lan's face changed and changed, and he finally nodded in agreement.
"Also, if you like to wear women's clothes, I won't interfere with your personal fetishes, but I don't like to look at it, so don't pretend to be a woman in front of me in the future, as for other times, whatever you want. Okay, now that the matter is over, let's stop here for today, and find a way to get rid of the surveillance footage. ”
After Fang Ziyu finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the Ne gate, while Jiang Lan was still sitting in place, looking out of the window attentively.
After sitting for a long time, Jiang Lan reached out and picked up the mug in front of Fang Ziyu's table, gently shook the coffee in the cup, and suddenly smiled.
"From the time you walked into Ne to the end of the conversation, you didn't eat a drop of water, and you were so thirsty that you subconsciously raised your glass and finally gritted your teeth and held back. Looks like you're worried about being drugged. Jiang Lan silently whispered in his heart, "Since you have this worry, does it mean that as long as I find a way to make you fall asleep and keep you asleep, I can get rid of your control?" ”
"If you think about it, after brain death, the life characteristics of a vegetative person are still there, but they can't make any movements, and they don't have any thoughts."
"Heh, hehe."
