Chapter 110: Mutual Benefit

Lose the match.

Upon hearing this man who called himself ‘Bai Tao’ make such a request.

Luo Yan squinted his eyes slightly.

He was very curious.

Where did they get the confidence to ask me to lose the game?

At that moment, Bai Tao continued, "Of course, I won’t let you work for nothing."

"As long as you promise."

"I’ll give you a 200,000 deposit right away."

"After it’s done, I’ll give you 800,000 more."

"A total of one million."

One million.

Not a small amount.

But not difficult to see either.

Many people are betting on themselves this time.

The bet is definitely over 1 million.

Otherwise.

Bai Tao wouldn’t go to such great lengths.

On the phone, Bai Tao continued, "Classmate Luo, if you think this amount is not ideal."

"We can discuss it further."

"How about meeting tonight?"

Luo Yan didn’t respond.

He hung up the phone and returned it to the third grader.

The third grader paused, looking confused.

Luo Yan had already turned around and started ordering food.

Ignoring Bai Tao completely.

"Hey, Classmate Luo, what are you saying?"

Bai Tao was unaware on his phone.

The third grader could only truthfully report to Bai Tao.

Bai Tao went silent for a moment, then chuckled coldly.

Hung up the phone.

The third grader glanced at Luo Yan.

Left.

From beginning to end.

Luo Yan remained silent.

He only agreed to answer the phone.

And no guarantee of replying.

To Yu Bai’s ‘suggestions’.

He never intended to listen to.

Mecha ‘White Dragon’, he was determined to win.

No matter who.

Don’t try to stop him.

After finishing dinner, Luo Yan just sat down.

Yang Likai arrived then.

His two followers pushed Zeng Shan aside.

Then they sat across from Luo Yan.

Yang Likai smiled broadly, "Classmate Luo, you better perform well on Monday, I bet one million on you."

Luo Yan looked at him in surprise.

Aren’t students not allowed to place bets?

Yang Likai seemed to know what he was thinking.

He whispered, "Of course, the notes were not made under my name."

"I used an anonymous account."

"They can’t trace me."

"What do you think, Classmate Luo?"

"Do you want to bet a little on yourself too?"

Luo Yan looked up and carefully observed him.

He wondered what this guy really wanted from him.

Why was he trying so hard to send him all kinds of benefits.

Yang Likai made Luo Yan feel uneasy.

Especially when the other person’s gaze began to wander over those fatal parts of oneself.

Yang Likai knew that if he didn’t show a little ‘sincerity’.

It’s hard to gain someone’s trust.

So he clenched his fist and cleared his throat.

"You can’t really know someone without a fight."

"I don’t have much talent for practicing and driving mechas."

"I won’t achieve anything great."

"But I admit that I still have a good eye for investments."

"Classmate Luo from enrollment to combat testing."

"Performed excellently."

"Especially the recent forbidden zone test, it really broadened my horizons."

"So I decided to invest in you, Classmate Luo."

"I wanted to tell you when I was at Falcon Base before."

"I invested in a pharmaceutical raw materials company outside of school."

"Specifically collecting medicinal materials in the forbidden zone."

"I also asked for help, pulled some strings, and can basically obtain the collection permit and cooperation contract in Guangling City."

"But right now, we’re still missing a bit in terms of conditions."

"Companies wanting to enter the forbidden zone to collect herbs need to have at least one mecha."

"I really can’t figure it out."

"So I was thinking, if Classmate Luo can get a ‘special driving license’, maybe we can consider working together long-term."

"Of course, we can talk about the specifics after Classmate Luo gets the driver’s license."

After hearing Yang Likai’s words.

Luo Yan believed him instead.

More precisely.

Luo Yan believed in ‘common interests’ even more.

This is more trustworthy than some pretty words.

And the company Yang Likai invested in.

He was also very interested.

Forbidden area for picking herbs.

In this way.

Don’t you have the chance to enter the ‘Misty Canyon’?

Retrieve those ‘Gathering Yuan Flower’!

Thinking about this.

Luo Yan nodded.

He then whispered, "Help me place a bet."

Yang Likai immediately responded, "No problem."

"How much should I bet?"

Luo Yan calmly replied, "Same as you."

"I’ll transfer the money to you."

Yang Likai waved his hand, "No need, I’ll place the bet for you first."

"Just one million, no big deal."

And so the matter was settled.

In the evening.

Di Zheng arrived.

The two met at the training arena.

The stern-faced captain opened the conversation by saying, "The Nine Phoenix is a dangerous organization."

"They are involved in selling intelligence and carrying out assassinations."

"They have their intelligence network and relationship network in both the underground city and the surface city."

"The leader of the Nine Phoenix Organization has always remained unidentified. The security department has been investigating them for over two years, but still does not know who their leader is."

"Based on some discovered clues, it is possible that the Nine Phoenix may have multiple leaders, fitting the meaning of the Nine-headed Bird."

"Furthermore, the investigators in the security department believe that the leader of Nine Phoenix, as well as its members, are all females."

Luo Yan remembered the female assassin he encountered in the train carriage.

He instinctively nodded.

He then asked, "Captain Di, do you know Bai Tao?"

Di Zheng immediately looked over, "Understood."

"This person appears to run a renovation company called ‘Yuantao’, offering services such as renovations, refurbishments and property maintenance."

"In reality, he controls the entire underground casino in Guangling."

"Various events in the underground city can be used as gambling activities."

"Has he approached you?"

Luo Yan did not hide anything.

"He approached me at noon."

"He wants me to lose in the trial on Monday."

"He will give me one million as compensation."

Di Zheng’s mouth curved up, "We suspect that Bai Tao is connected to someone important in the conservative group."

"If he doesn’t have support."

"He can’t control the whole underground casino."

"He came to see you not just for the gambling matches."

"This should be the intention of some important person."

"As I said before, whether you like it or not, you have already been involved in a struggle between two factions."

Luo Yan nodded gently.

He had guessed before too.

Behind the Bai Tao incident.

There is another layer of meaning.

On the surface, it seems like you need to lose the trial on your own.

In reality, it is still aimed at targeting Di Zheng.

Luo Yan couldn’t help but ask, "Besides Luo Tianyi, who else is important in the conservative faction?"

Di Zheng counted on his fingers and said, "Apart from Luo Tianyi, there is also the current City Lord Liu Haoteng."

"Our army’s Chief of General Staff Zheng Fan."

"Construction tycoon Huang Yuanhang."

"Security chief Wu Shimu."

"And the tycoon Liu Po, who runs a security company, a train company, and secretly trades goods."

"Basically, there are important people in the conservative group."

"Those people above."

"Among them are City Lord Liu Haoteng and Old Zheng from our brigade."

"They belong to the neutral faction within the conservative group."

"They just don’t agree with the ideas and suggestions I put forward, but they don’t get involved in the struggle between the two factions."

"They are in the gray area, acting as a buffer zone."
