The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1834: The Deal

"On the contrary, if I went around talking about client information and the contents of the deals, I would have been killed by them long ago. You have no idea how ruthless they are; they’re the type who kill without blinking. As for the deals I’ve made with them, I won’t speak, can’t speak, and don’t dare to speak," the Mole explained.

"In our line of work, every day is like walking on the edge of a knife. One small misstep could lead to being robbed or double-crossed, so I can only try to protect myself. It’s the rule of the trade; if I told you the contents of the deals and the identity of the clients today, how could I continue my business? Once out of Huaxia, I might lose my head." The Mole seemed very wary of his trading clients, which was natural. He was merely an inventor and black market merchant, and the things he sold were all ’black technology’, so his clients were all ruthless characters. Though the Mole’s inventions were quite practical, compared to keeping secrets, they would certainly choose to eliminate the Mole.

"That’s the rule of the trade, you understand?"

"Rules are rules, but you can rest assured that whatever happens here today, no one will know. Your conversation will remain in this room and won’t be taken out, so you can feel secure." Ye Shikai took out a signal jammer.

"All the conversations we have here today will be unknown to anyone, including your clients."

"That’s not acceptable. If you go looking for them, they’ll immediately know I leaked the information. Even if I escape today, I won’t be able to escape later. These people are not kind-hearted; if they want to deal with a target, they will make sure it’s resolved thoroughly. My life would be forfeit." The Mole still refused.

"So you’re not afraid of death, huh? Can they kill you, but I can’t?" Ye Shikai said coldly.

"Of course, I’m afraid of death. People aren’t gods, who wouldn’t be afraid of death? But you won’t kill me; you haven’t gotten my transaction information yet. If you kill me, you’ll never obtain it." Though the Mole looked weak and timid, he wasn’t foolish. Despite his timid appearance, his mind remained extremely calm, even when surrounded by a dozen burly men. He continued to ’negotiate’ with Ye Shikai, knowing how much Ye Shikai wanted to get hold of the transaction information. So until he obtained it, he wouldn’t harm the Mole.

"Well, you really are as cunning as a mole. Fine, let’s treat this as a deal and have a proper discussion." Ye Shikai pulled up a chair and sat in front of the Mole.

"If I can guarantee your safety and your source of income, you shouldn’t refuse, right?" Ye Shikai said calmly.

"Brother, it’s not that I, the Mole, look down on you, but you probably don’t even know who my clients are and yet dare to speak such grand words." The Mole was skeptical. "If you’re just someone from Luo Shiqi, that’s likely not enough. Although Miss Luo has influence in Yanjing, once outside of Yanjing, I’ll still be in danger; that’s not acceptable."

"Tell me what I want, and then go to the address on the paper. There will naturally be someone to protect you. Once the situation calms down, you’ll be safe. If you’re still not assured, I will personally send someone to escort and protect you until you feel safe. During your time in hiding, I can compensate you for lost business." Ye Shikai picked up pen and paper from the table, wrote an address, and handed it to the Mole.

"So you’re..." The Mole glanced at the address, immediately showing a shocked expression. Just as he was about to speak, Ye Shikai stopped him.

"No need to say, understand it."

"I see, I didn’t expect such a small figure like me would warrant your presence here." After realizing Ye Shikai’s identity, even the Mole’s way of addressing him changed.

"You’re no small figure. I’ve said so much; you should give me an answer now, right?" Ye Shikai said indifferently.

"Alright, since it’s your request, if I, the Mole, don’t agree, I might not be able to leave here alive. I agree, but I have a condition: You must fulfill your promises. Additionally, I hope you can make a public statement under the name of the Netherworld Palace. This way, even if my clients want revenge, they’ll hesitate."

"Fine, I can agree to these conditions. In fact, you have nothing to worry about. I can promise you that before you are harmed, all those people will be dealt with by me."

"Alright, in that case, I’m willing to cooperate." The Mole extended his hand, and the two shook hands to show sincerity.

"Alright, I’ll just put on a coat before following you guys."

Ten minutes later.

"Zhang Ting, I have some matters; you should go back first. Tomorrow morning, I’ll definitely give you an answer." Ye Shikai called, speaking calmly.

"What, Ye! You left me waiting outside, and all you say is this? If you wanted me to leave, you should have said so earlier, making me stand outside in the cold wind for half an hour." Zhang Ting exploded upon hearing this.

"And if you’re going on a case, why can’t you take me along?"

"Well, it’s for special reasons; it’s inconvenient for you to come. But don’t worry, tomorrow morning you’ll know." Ye Shikai finished speaking and quickly hung up the phone. The car was Luo Shiqi’s, with Ye Shikai and the Mole sitting in the backseat, Luo Shiqi’s guards in the front, and two guard cars as escort both in front and behind.

Ye Shikai prevented Zhang Ting from contacting the Mole naturally to avoid revealing him. Although he tried to protect himself, he was dealing in ’black market transactions’, and the Mole would certainly not agree to let a woman cop join them.

Two hours later.

"Turn left ahead, and you’ll see the abandoned factory." Following the Mole’s directions, the convoy finally reached his ’base’. Ye Shikai certainly wouldn’t let the Mole go alone to retrieve the documents; this way, he might escape.

Ye Shikai knew of this abandoned factory, here in the suburbs, there were many such factories, long empty. If one wanted to shoot a horror movie, it would be a suitable location.

"Is this your base?" Ye Shikai questioned as the Mole led them into the factory. In the late night, the only sound was the whistling cold wind.

"Strictly speaking, this place just preserves various documents; you can think of it as a document room. My lab isn’t here, nor is my warehouse; both are in different locations."

"Crafty. You’ve really got the cleverness of a rabbit with three burrows." Ye Shikai remarked.

"There’s no choice, in this line of work, every step must be cautious, or it’s the threat of death."

"Alright, let’s move quickly." Ye Shikai urged.
