Chapter 775: How Is He?

“How is he?” asked Hu Mei, who was beside him.

“He’s alright,” Jia Zizai replied.

“That’s good,” she said.

They did not know the situation at that time. They were just worried that Wang Yao might be injured. After all, he was the key to the plan’s success.

“Who was the man who died?” Hu Mei asked.

“I don’t know. Maybe it was his substitute,” Jia Zizai replied.

“Does he still have a substitute?” she asked.

Jia Zizai suddenly came up with a bold hypothesis. “It’s quite possible. Perhaps the person we’ve interacted with at the company regularly might not be the real chairman.”

“How is that possible?” Hu Mei asked. “We meet him quite often. If it isn’t him, wouldn’t we have found out?”

“He’s a substitute after all, with an emphasis on similarity, making it hard to distinguish between the true and the fake,” Jia Zizai said. “Otherwise, why would he be called a substitute? That would just be an actor.”

“What about his skills?” she asked.

“He couldn’t possibly have learned that, but he must know some things,” Jia Zizai said. “Otherwise, it would be easy to be exposed. Besides, with the identity of the chairman of the board of directors and the hegemonic measures he used to take, who would question him? He comes late every day and leaves late. He either stays in his office or goes out without seeing anyone. In fact, think about it. Do we really meet him a lot? We’re only meeting him once or twice a week at most.”

“That is to say, Chairman Zhang may not be in the company at all,” Hu Mei said. “The person we’ve been seeing these days is the substitute.”

“That’s quite possible, but now the substitute is probably dead,” Jia Zizai said. “Mr. Wang’s presence is quite effective. We haven’t thought of this problem before.”

“What an old fox,” Hu Mei said. “But where is he now?”

A man with a baseball cap stood on a hill near the sea somewhere in Dao. He sighed, “Where did this strange person come from?”

“You’re here,” a man said.

“I’m still not thoughtful enough. You found me.” The man in the hat sighed softly.

“Last night, your house was blown up, but you’re looking at the sea here,” the other man said. “You’re in such a good mood!”

“What should I do? Call the police and let the other party know that I’m still alive?” the man in the hat asked.

“Who was the person?” the other man asked.

“He is a highly skilled person,” the man in the hat said. “As you know, although that substitute of mine was not as strong as me, he was also a first-class master. In front of others, he could make them collapse with just a flash of his face. I don’t think I can do it, and what he said…”

“What did he say?” the other man asked.

“He asked me to pay my debts,” the man in the hat said.

“Pay your debts? What kind of debt do you owe?” the other man asked.

“I’m in excess of debt,” the man in the hat said. “How do I know who hired him? Is there anything going on in the company?”

“On the surface, everything is calm and normal, but it is quite turbulent beneath the surface,” the other man said. “Everyone is investigating whether you are really dead or not, and where are you now if you are not dead.”

“These individuals are restless,” the man in the hat said.

“Don’t you know what they’re thinking?” the other man asked. “They would love to see you die.”

“If I’m dead, they’re not going to be OK,” the man in the hat said. “Keep all those things secure for me.”

“Rest assured, if there is an accident, it will be exposed immediately,” the other man said.

“That’s good,” the man said.

The waves crashed against the rocks.

Cough! Cough The man with the baseball cap coughed incessantly.

“You should go back and have a look,” the other man said.

“Go back? Are you also advising me to go back? My life will be gone if I go back.” The man in the hat took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, poured out several pills, and took them.

“With the state you are in, the more you delay, the worse you become,” the other man said.

“I know that too,” the man in the hat said.

“The Dongying people are unreliable,” the other man said.

“They are not my race. I’m just using them.” The man in the baseball cap took a few deep breaths. “You’re responsible for the experiment. Get it done as soon as possible.”

“Alright, I know,” the other man said.

“If there’s nothing, you can go back,” the man in the hat said. “Watch the company closely for me.”

The other man left. Not long after he walked down the hill, he got into his car, drove into the city, and walked around until he entered a teahouse.

“Manager Li, it’s busy here!” In this teahouse, someone was already waiting for him. “Well, yeah, you’re quite capable, huh, seeing the chairman behind our back. You’re the undercover he arranged among us, right?

“What are you saying?” Manager Li asked after pouring himself a cup of tea. “Don’t make it sound so bad. I also want to make a living.”

“Can you be considered cheating on both sides as a two-sided spy?” Jia Zizai said. “You’re not human here or there.”

“Jia Zizai, I find it a miracle that you are still alive,” Manager Li said.

“Whew, you’re so full of anger. Drink some tea,” Jia Zizai said. “What did you think about the matters I told you last time?”

“It’s not that good,” Manager Li said. “To tell the truth, the chairman’s wisdom is much higher than yours and mine. What he gives me might also be given to a third person and a fourth person, but these people may not be the most reliable. In the end, he will give it to the most reliable person.”

“Who?” Jia Zizai asked.

“How would I know?” Manager Li took a sip of tea.

“Based on your words, is there anything we can do?” Jia Zizai asked.

“I don’t recommend taking action for the time being,” Manager Li said.

“Where is the chairman now?” Jia Zizai asked.

“I don’t know,” Manager Li said.

“Really?” Jia Zizai asked.

“Of course. Even if I knew it, I wouldn’t tell you,” Manager Li said. “Think about it. I just met with him. If you went to him, wouldn’t that be outright telling him that I’m a traitor?”

“Well, we can’t just give up like that,” Jia Zizai said. “We’ve been preparing for several years, and we’ve finally gotten a good opportunity. It would be a pity if we missed it.”

“What? Could this all be part of his plan?” Manager Li asked.

“Not likely,” Jia Zizai said.

The man opposite was hiding something from him, so he would not reveal his greatest trump card.

“A highly skilled master has arrived in Dao,” Manager Li said.

“How skilled is he?” Jia Zizai poured him another cup of tea.

“More skilled than the chairman,” Manager Li replied.

“How do you know?” Jia Zizai asked.

“The chairman personally admitted it, so can it be fake?” Manager Li asked.

“Hey, his words are hard to judge.” Jia Zizai lit a cigarette. “Tell me the truth, don’t you have thoughts of rebelling?”

“I’ll tell you the truth,” Manager Li said. “If I didn’t have thoughts of rebelling, would I come here to see you?”

Jia Zizai shook his head and said. “You and Hu Mei are two votes, and I’m alone. Did you think I didn’t know about you and the old man Du?”

In their company, several of the directors had formed small circles of gangs.

“Alright, shall we end it here?” Manager Li asked.

“Your son’s illness is not better yet, right?” Jia Zizai asked. “It’s getting worse!”

The man who just got up sat down again. “What are you saying?”

“I know someone who can cure your son’s illness,” Jia Zizai said.

“That’s impossible,” Manager Li said. “I took him to seven countries. All the top doctors say he doesn’t have long to live. All the treatments were just to delay his death.”

“In that case, why don’t you give it a try?” Jia Zizai asked.

“Where is the doctor?” Manager Li asked.

“Depends on your attitude.” After Jia Zizai had finished speaking, he got up and went out.

“You know the consequences of deceiving me,” Manager Li said.

“Of course, my blackmail material is still in your hands, isn’t it?” Jia Zizai replied with a smile.
