The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1835: The Buyer
Previously on The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife...
"So many mechanisms here, it looks like you really went all out," Ye Shikai glanced around. Although the mole was well hidden, he still found places where the mechanisms were unknown and all of them were deadly. If it weren’t for the mole leading them in, at least the bodyguards behind Ye Shikai would likely die along the way.
"This is nothing, exchanging money for insurance is worth it, let me show you this." The mole suddenly lifted his shirt, revealing his chest, with something conspicuously attached to it, seemingly like a patch at first glance, but in truth, it couldn’t be so simple.
"This is a sensing chip, equipped with a signal device. If my heart doesn’t beat for ten consecutive minutes or gets forcibly removed or damaged, then all the high-explosive bombs placed in my laboratory, cargo hold, and data room will explode due to receiving no signal. As for the power, it should be able to flatten this abandoned factory."
"You always say your buyers are ruthless characters, but in my opinion, you, mole, are the real ruthless character," Ye Shikai sighed. He hadn’t noticed this detail; if the mole had been truly hurt before, the data here would turn to ashes in ten minutes.
"We’ve arrived." The mole led everyone to an iron door, entered a password and fingerprint on it, and the iron door slowly opened.
"Inside here are secrets, so those unrelated shouldn’t come in."
"Alright, I agree with you." Ye Shikai ordered the bodyguards to stay outside by the door, and followed the mole inside.
"Goodness, I didn’t expect there’d be another world in here," Ye Shikai murmured. There were many servers placed here, with a desk in the center. The mole should be processing data here.
"Inside here, it’s perpetually without daylight, except for me, you are actually the first person to come in," the mole sat at the desk.
"Where’s the trade information I want?" Ye Shikai bluntly asked, straight to the point.
"Don’t worry, I can find it right away." The mole operated at the computer, Ye Shikai curiously glanced at it. It was filled with trade records, but they were all encrypted. The mole wasn’t a typical black market seller. This was for safety’s sake, indicating he should be a computer expert as well.
"The transaction contents here are all encrypted by special methods; ordinary people can’t crack it. Of course, I remember you have a world-class hacker under your command. If he can get my transaction contents, perhaps he can crack it. However... all my data here only exists on the hard drive. Unless he can come here and take the hard drive, it’s impossible to get the information."
"Good one, mole, seems you’ve got everything arranged," Ye Shikai said casually.
"What do you mean by that?" The mole asked.
"This is just a few kilometers from the dock; if something really happens, you can quickly leave Huaxia from the dock."
"Haha, one cannot be too careful; you should understand this, right?" The mole changed his tone. "Look, these are the transaction contents for buying capsules here with me, all the client data and information, it’s all here."
"Great."
"Here you go," the mole copied all the data onto a USB drive and handed it to Ye Shikai.
"By the way, I’ve heard you have several pieces of black technology here; can I have a look?" Ye Shikai took the USB drive and put it in his pocket.
"If you want to buy, I certainly welcome it, but if you’re merely curious, then forget about it. To be honest, I didn’t originally intend to agree, but due to your status, I had to make an exception," the mole said indifferently.
"But I’m curious, why would you want this information? If I recall correctly, you shouldn’t have much interaction with them, and given your noble status, you wouldn’t bother with them."
"Don’t concern yourself with that, I have my own matters. I will soon send someone to take you to the Netherworld Palace. Furthermore, I’ll issue a notice in the name of the Netherworld Palace as requested, so that your clients won’t dare to touch you."
"No need," the mole slowly waved. "I’m not used to living elsewhere; it’s not safe there either. I am a mole, naturally I have my own ’burrow,’ it’s very safe there."
"So... you’re not afraid of them coming to find you," Ye Shikai countered.
"Of course, I’m afraid," the mole immediately retorted. "I always stick to the rules, self-preservation. This time I broke the rule; I just hope you can eliminate them before they come to kill me."
"Are you going abroad now? I can arrange someone to take you," Ye Shikai said nonchalantly.
"No need, as you said, the dock is nearby. I’m leaving soon; you don’t need to worry about me. Though a mole may be small, I have my own way of surviving."
..................
Ye Shikai obtained the data he needed, and the mole fled to his own "safe house," a result that should be considered optimal. Frankly, he was quite worried; if the mole insisted on not cooperating, he would be in a tough spot, the clues would break off, and the case couldn’t proceed.
Ye Shikai opened his computer and checked the data on the USB. Although the mole was cunning, being a businessman, integrity was still prioritized. The data included transaction contents, recording all clients who bought capsules from the mole, along with each transaction.
Selling a capsule for a million is not a trivial amount, but nurturing and recruiting a cultivator requires far more than a million. Every person here has consumed a capsule, which at least shows this organization is quite wealthy.
Ye Shikai found a few pieces of information with the largest transaction volumes. Indeed, one of them shocked him; they bought 300 capsules in one go, which calculates to three billion, isn’t it? An organization that can put out so much money in one go is rare, and the buyer is a Huaxia person, which fits the criteria.
The second-largest transaction was over a hundred capsules, sold to a foreign assassin organization. As for other transactions, those were small fry, some tens or dozens of capsules, not enough, can be ruled out.
Looking at it this way, the transaction with the biggest volume is the most suspicious; Ye Shikai had a faint intuition this must be the one.
This is a male buyer from Hong Kong named "Huo Hua." Of course, this may not be his real name, but at least it’s a title, plus there’s an address and phone number on it. Although it’s unknown whether they’re real, they’re at least useful clues.
Ye Shikai wanted to inquire the mole, to explore "Huo Hua’s" background, but he also didn’t know; the trade chat was conducted via SMS, with no verbal interaction from both sides.
