A basement somewhere in Nevada City.
Song Jie took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth.
"Boss, I'll light a fire for you."
As usual, Mu Flattery Si picked up the lighter and moved closer to Song Jie.
For some reason, Song Jie shuddered when looking at Musi who was approaching him, and his body leaned back unconsciously.
Song Jie looked at Mu Si and narrowed his eyes.
Why does this guy suddenly give me a dangerous feeling?
This feeling comes and goes as quickly as it comes.
Song Jie sat up straight again and let Musi light his cigarette for him.
This guy is now in such a state of desperation that he needs my protection. What danger can there be? It seems that I am really frightened by Janus.
Looking at Musi who was flattering beyond words, Song Jie shook his head and laughed at himself in his heart.
After half a cigarette, Song Jie pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
"How is Wang Youde's matter handled?"
Hearing Song Jie's words, Musi immediately picked up the tablet on the table: "It has been taken care of. All the neighbors who have met Wang Youde have moved to other cities, and the surveillance along the way when he escaped has also been taken care of."
Moose pointed with his fingers on the tablet and recounted the whole story.
"Wang Youde's hiding place at the time was in a shanty town, and the people there were easy to deal with. As long as you gave him money, they would shut up.
The police wanted to track down Wang Youde, and they would most likely follow the route to Shuimu City, so I spent a small sum of money to send them to Neihua City. "
"How much is a small sum of money?"
Song Jie took another cigarette, but this time he pushed away Mu Si's outstretched hand and lit the cigarette with his own lighter.
"A family of 20,000 yuan spent a total of 120,000 yuan." Mus said honestly.
This number is neither high nor low.
The reason why there are so many witnesses.
It's because although Wang Youde lived in a hotel, he deliberately went into the shanty town to escape for his life when Janus was chasing him.
Many people in shantytowns live in shipping containers. As long as they are not blind and glance outside, they can see which way Wang Youde fled.
This caused a lot of trouble for Song Jie's aftermath.
Song Jie tapped his thigh and said: "Although this money is nothing, it is not appropriate to spend so much money on those rag pickers."
After hearing this, Musi immediately realized that Song Jie was testing his attitude.
"Of course, when dealing with those beggars, fists are sometimes better than money, but this can't keep them silent. The police will always find a way to pry their mouths open. At that time, even if we retaliate afterwards, their lives will be ruined. It doesn’t change the fact of exposure.”
Musi began to list the significance of what he did to convince Song Jie.
"Even if they are at the bottom, most people will not even look there, but there will always be nosy people paying attention to their lives, so it is unrealistic to deal with so many people directly."
"In my opinion, coercion plus inducement is the best option."
After listening to Mu Si's explanation, Song Jie smiled: "But why do you still want to pay hush money when I heard from others that some people agreed to move?"
"Well, you see, it's better for them to move on their own initiative than to drive people away with great fanfare, right? It won't cost much to give them some traveling expenses, so why not do it?"
With a fawning smile on his face, Moose kept rubbing his palms.
Be upright when you should be upright, and be weak when you should be weak. You can pretend to be powerful and help the working people, but you can also be groveling and flattering to please others.
This is Moose, a cunning man with a flexible moral bottom line.
"Well said."
Song Jie cast admiring glances at Mus: "The most important thing for us in intelligence is to minimize the impact of the situation."
Musi smiled and said, "Hey, you taught me well."
"Stop flattering me, I only care about results here."
Song Jie pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray again, but this time his expression changed completely: "Let me ask you one last time, why did you give up everything in Nevada City to join me?"
The moment Song Jie spoke, his originally dark eyes turned dark purple. His left hand inserted in the pocket of his windbreaker curled up into a ball, holding a pistol tightly.
Song Jie activated the strange object given to him by Janus. This strange object has no other function. It can only detect lies and perform shallow mind reading for a very short period of time.
According to Janus, if he does not have the physique of a qualified person, using such a low-level gadget may kill him.
So Song Jie cherishes every minute and every second of this ability.
As long as there is half a lie in what Musi says next, Song Jie will kill him without hesitation.
The light in the basement was relatively dim, and Musi did not notice the change in the color of Song Jie's eyes or the surging murderous intention in his heart.
He looked embarrassed, thought for a while and said: "Boss Song, I know all your doubts about me, but I really don't have any bad intentions.
Since you want to know the reason why I came to seek refuge with you so much, I'll simply tell you.
I really don't want to give up my foundation in Nevada City, but I have no choice because the official forces are already targeting me.
They have completely detained me, and that old man Yue Chongshan has not only fueled the flames openly, but has also begun to erode my power secretly. In order to survive and be free, I can only give up my foundation. "
Was Moose telling the truth?
The answer is yes.
There was not a single lie in these words, but he did not tell the whole truth.
Musi did not say directly which official force was targeting him.
Said, but not fully.
Telling half the story, breaking a piece of information into two or three pieces and selling it, these are the professional instincts of an intelligence dealer.
How much detailed information you want depends on your bid.
The vast majority of intelligence dealers will do this. Only a very few people will sell all the information at once if they occasionally want to improve their reputation and performance (referred to as involution).
Not always, but generally.
"The officials in Nevada City have no reason to attack you, right?"
As a member of the general public, Song Jie naturally would not let go of his vigilance because of these truths from Mu Si.
Because when some truths are strung together, they can also form a huge lie.
At this time, Musi finally noticed Song Jie's hands that had been in his pockets.
Thinking about these questions again, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"They are indeed planning to attack me, and I can guarantee that I have no ill intentions towards you! I came to Qianhua City just to make a living, and then retire when I am fifty and find a place with beautiful scenery to retire!"
Moose stepped back while raising his hands, indicating that he had no intention of resisting.
He retreated to the corner and forced himself into a corner.
As for why he didn’t forget to run at the door.
Every time Song Jie decides to have a conversation, it's either in an underground bar or in a basement. What do you think he's up to?
Let’s not talk about what Song Jie is carrying in his pocket.
Whether it is the door or the elevator stairs leading to the upper floor, Song Jie's men are in control.
No one can go up there without his permission.
On the ground, you can jump off the building to escape, but underground, you can't escape with wings.
Song Jie said nothing. He first took out a cigarette from his right pocket and held it in his mouth.
Then he took out a palm-sized pistol from inside and pointed it at Moose, gesturing to Moose to come over and light a cigarette.
But Musi didn't dare to get close at this time, he just kept begging for mercy.
"Boss Song! Brother Song! That's not the case! I really have no ill intentions, I just want to hide here with you for a while to avoid the limelight!"
Seeing Song Jie approaching step by step, Musi put his head in his hands and began to slowly squat down, still persuading him.
Even though Song Jie was only two steps away from him, he had no intention of grabbing the gun and fighting back.
"Raise your head." Song Jie said.
Mus Zhanzhan looked at Song Jie with a towering look, the muzzle of the gun was only twenty centimeters away from his head.
Moose thought he had escaped death.
Unexpectedly, the other party opened the safety immediately and put his finger on the trigger, before he could continue to beg for mercy.
Song Jie immediately pulled the trigger.
Under the high degree of tension and despair, the flow of time around him seemed to slow down a lot, but Musi only had time to close his eyes.
Click.
A flame emerged from the muzzle of the gun.
"Haha, don't be nervous, I'm just joking with you."
Song Jie smiled and patted Musi on the shoulder, then lit the cigarette with a flame.
"You used to be an intelligence agent who controlled all the intelligence networks in a city. Although you are now in decline, you can't lose the momentum you once had. Otherwise, where would I be able to put my face at the same level as you?
I also like your stingy businessman face before. I'm really not used to you suddenly becoming so humble. "
You are so fucking crazy!
Moose wanted to scold him loudly.
But now people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
"That's all in the past. Now I just want to make a living and retire and live in seclusion."
Moose licked his face and said with a smile.
"You are sincere. Why don't you say now that you want to contribute to my power building?" Song Jie took back the lighter and asked with a smile.
"You trust me so much, I can't lie to you, right?"
Musi stood up from the corner shakily, but the soles of his feet gave way and he sat back down on the ground.
Song Jie stepped forward and gave Musi a hand: "Tsk, you need to practice your courage!"
"Next time, definitely next time."
Musi stood up holding Song Jie's shoulders.
He followed Song Jie into the elevator and returned to the ground.
As soon as the elevator door opened, there was an underground parking lot. In the past, Song Jie took Musi out of the main entrance of the bar, but this was the first time he took the elevator to the parking lot.
This means that Song Jie has initially accepted Musi to join his core team.
"I have something else to do next, so let Ah Er take you back."
Song Jie got into his car and gave instructions to another bodyguard on the side.
Ah Da and Ah Er are Song Jie's personal bodyguards.
The two brothers have been by Song Jie's side since records began.
Ah Da is responsible for driving Song Jie, while Ah Er is the personal protection.
Song Jie was willing to send his confidants to send Musi off, and it was also with the intention of appeasing him.
Musi quickly waved his hand and refused: "No, no, I'll just take a taxi myself. Your safety is the most important thing."
"Okay, you can go back by yourself. I will contact you again when there is a mission."
Song Jie was not too polite to Musi. After all, he was Musi's boss now.
After A'er got in the car, he sat in the back seat with Song Jie.
In the event of being shot, this would allow him to use his own body to block the bullet for Song Jie immediately.
Ah Da started the car and left the parking space. Before the car left the parking lot, a black car not far away followed him.
The car behind is also Song Jie's bodyguard group.
As the saying goes, the more you know, the sooner you die.
Those engaged in intelligence may be attacked by multiple forces at any time. How can just two bodyguards be enough?
Song Jie sat in the back row with a golden sword: "Mu Si's suspicion can be temporarily removed. This person can be trusted."
"yes."
Ah Er immediately picked up the tablet, found the relevant information about Mus, removed him from the danger list, and then added him to the white list.
At this time, Ah Duo, who was driving, said, "He has only been here a few months, right? Is it so simple to just trust him?"
Song Jie shook his head: "Don't worry, I have just investigated, he has no malicious intent, he just wants to use my power to take refuge and temporarily avoid the pursuit of the official forces in Neihua City.
And I pointed the gun at his head and turned on the safety, but he didn't dare to grab the gun until I pulled the trigger. "
So timid?
Ada frowned: "In other words, after the limelight passes, he may leave the organization at any time. Is it worth it?"
"His ability is worthy of the price I paid."
Song Jie took out a bottle of champagne from the freezer and poured himself a small half glass: "I'm a little timid, but if he is really a waste, he can't possibly run an entire city's intelligence network by himself and insist on leaving now. Nevada City.
That old guy Yue Chongshan is not easy to mess with.
And after so long, no one in Nevada City, including his men, knew his true identity. Based on this alone, he could never be a simple character. "
Ada didn't say anything more, but he still couldn't help but associate the guy with the evil smile on his face with the word unfathomable.
………………
Moose left the parking lot with trembling legs.
After he walked into a public restroom, he immediately stood up straight, his waist no longer hurt, and his legs were no longer weak.
"Fuck! Didn't you say that the citizens of Qianhua are honest and honest? Damn, this attitude of killing people without batting an eye is completely different from the Chinese thugs more than ten years ago!"
Muss cursed and washed his face at the edge of the sink.
MD! This guy Song Jie is really dirty! Fortunately, I resisted and didn't grab the gun at that time. Otherwise, when his men came in, I would definitely be burping with a lighter!
He also acted like a gunman, both of them are movie stars, right?
Fortunately, I have experienced a lot of undercover career, otherwise today would be a difficult test.
Musi madly dissed Song Jie in his heart, and kept lamenting that the world was cold, people's hearts were sinister, and there was no longer any trust between people.
After washing his face, Musi looked for the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
Before leaving the bathroom, Musi pinched the popliteus tendon at the crook of his leg to restore the softness of his leg, and then walked out of the bathroom tremblingly.
Just do the whole show.
