Chapter 641 Going Out to Earn Extra Money
As soon as the call ended, Ye Mu'en met the expectant gazes, tinged with prayer. Power truly could drive people mad, even in a small country.
"If we take on this mission, we'll need to use quite a few of our own people. You know how skilled our subordinates are."
"I know. I've experienced it firsthand."
He'd even been beaten up before. One of them could easily handle over a dozen opponents. This was a significant advantage and he had to agree.
"No problem. All their expenses will be calculated separately."
Ye Mu'en nodded with satisfaction. "Very sensible."
"Also, you know my brother-in-law's status. It's hard to get him interested unless the conditions are truly compelling."
"Are you saying the money offered isn't enough? You can name your price."
He had plenty of money, more than plenty.
"Alright, I'll double my offer here. My brother-in-law wants five times mine. As for our subordinates, it'll be the same as mine."
"A total of 1.4 billion!"
"Exactly. Professionals should be compensated accordingly. Think about how much you'll gain after success. We're not asking for much, really."
Not asking for much? He was working for free for three years! But you couldn't catch a tiger without entering its lair. He was determined to get P'eng Country.
"Deal!"
"Send half the deposit to the designated account first. The balance will be paid after completion."
"No problem."
"Also, once an agreement is reached, all actions must be under our command. Your people and your weapons will all be taken over by us."
"Agreed. I'll have someone transfer the funds immediately. I wonder when Mr. Zi will arrive."
"If the money arrives today, he can be on a plane tomorrow."
A piece of paper with his sister's account number was handed to Tuoba Haicheng, who, without any hesitation, called the bank to arrange the remittance.
Zi Yisheng received a call from the bank and then called his brother-in-law back. All these operations were performed under Ye Shengge's watchful eye.
"You guys are going out to earn some extra cash, aren't you?"
"Indeed. A rare big business opportunity that just landed on our doorstep must be seized."
After Ye Shengge inquired about the specific amount, her eyes widened. She didn't even have that much money.
"After all the money is collected, take a portion to distribute to A Sen and the others. As for the people who come later, they only need to get one portion. Giving too much at once can make people greedy."
"Understood. I'll handle the distribution carefully."
"I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll come back to pick you up when you're officially discharged. We'll never come to the hospital again after this."
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Be careful."
"Yes. With Tuoba Haicheng now, everything will be much simpler."
This time, Zi Yisheng only brought Ou Yang with him. The people waiting at sea were enough. A group of people waiting domestically would be responsible for the safety of their family.
Wei Liu and Wei Jiu officially took over the hospital's guard duty. One of them had to be in the ward at all times, and everyone entering had to be checked.
Ye Mu'en also moved directly into the Tuoba family residence, making it convenient for them to communicate at any time. After all, there was still a lot of information to be gathered and investigated about the Wanqi family.
However, Tuoba Jiang's happiness was short-lived as she was directly rejected. While the words weren't harsh, they were quite humiliating. She ended up moving into her own villa and planned to return only after everyone had left.
When Zi Yisheng landed, Tuoba Haicheng personally went to pick him up. He finally met the person he had only seen in newspapers or on television.
"Mr. Zi, welcome, welcome."
"Mr. Tuoba, hello."
"Good, good. Let's go back and rest first. I've already prepared accommodations for you and Secretary Ou."
"Okay."
As they got into the car, Zi Yisheng looked at the prosperity of P'eng Country with a sense of sadness. Their vast country, with its territory and population, couldn't even match the economic development of a small nation.
But he no longer had the opportunity to fight for it. Any time he went abroad, he faced multi-faceted scrutiny. Even if there were no issues, he could never hold that position.
"By the way, Mr. Tuoba, I brought dozens of people with me. Do you need to arrange accommodation for them?"
"No problem. They can all stay near my place. That entire area is my property. It will also facilitate communication between you at any time."
"Very good. I need to see all the information on the entire Wanqi family before tonight. You know my wife is still in the hospital, so please expedite this."
"Everything has been prepared, and we will arrange for you to have opportunities to enter the palace."
Tuoba Haicheng was extremely excited. The faster they worked, the sooner he could ascend to his position. The money was well spent!
"Also, I forgot to mention earlier. You know my brother-in-law originally came to buy the mineral resources of P'eng Country. Three of the ones he had his eye on previously were also Wanqi family properties. So, after the matter is settled, those three mines will also belong to me."
"A small matter. You can have a few more if you wish."
"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Tuoba."
The more he got, the happier his wife would be, and she could continue her jewelry business.
Upon arriving at the Tuoba residence, Zi Yisheng, along with his brother-in-law and Ou Yang, immediately convened a meeting. Their plan needed to be more detailed.
"It looks like this is a palace coup. We're not concerned with the process or the outcome."
"Yes, we won't worry about how well it looks."
"It's remarkable that a country would allow private forces to be on par with national troops."
Ou Yang shook his head speechlessly. In their country, any nascent signs of trouble would be crushed.
"This also makes things easier for us. Let Mo Lin lead Tuoba Haicheng's forces to confront the outer armies. I'll accompany you into the palace."
"This is too crude and simple."
Ou Yang felt that their presence was somewhat redundant after hearing what Young Master Ye said.
"Crude? We want to be fast, decisive, and accurate."
Zi Yisheng remained silent but felt uneasy looking at the names his brother-in-law had written down.
"We can't just be fast, decisive, and accurate. We need to go in first and assess the situation. My concern is that the people who know the secrets might not all be within P'eng Country's borders. We can only act after we've identified everyone."
"That's true. Since becoming a father, I've lost my basic composure."
Zi Yisheng patted his brother-in-law's shoulder. He could understand someone who had become a parent in his thirties very well. He was eager to go home and see his wife.
"Congratulations, by the way. Your life is finally perfect."
"Congratulations, Young Master Ye!"
"Thank you, hahahaha, thank you!"
Ye Mu'en laughed like an idiot, which Ou Yang found rather annoying. His child was the first to be born, so in terms of marriage and children, he was the most accomplished.
"The day after tomorrow, we'll attend the banquet as investors. Ou Yang and I will handle the business talks, while you guys will sneak in and find the people on the list for interrogation."
"Understood. It might take some time."
Zi Yisheng understood immediately. Interrogation had to be handled by his brother-in-law himself.
"I'll stall for time. We have enough personnel outside. If it really comes to a fight, we'll have to use force."
"I'll make the arrangements immediately. It's good to have backup plans."
Seeing Ye Mu'en emerge, Tuoba Haicheng hurried to greet him. Before he could even speak, he was embraced and led away.
"Let's go check out your main force first. I'll arrange for people to train for better coordination."
"Okay, okay, let's head out now."
