I See through Everything

Chapter 91: Chapter 84: Deceit and Trickery

However, he didn’t do it immediately. The other party would surely check the account balances periodically. To avoid tipping them off, he couldn’t touch the money in those accounts for now.

He flipped through the various pieces of information he had collected.

Suddenly, a social media account that frequently contacted Jiang Anye caught Jiang Miao’s attention. After examining it for a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up. ’This guy is really audacious, daring to cuckold his own benefactor and even having the man raise his son. Now I won’t have to work so hard.’

Originally, Jiang Miao had planned to manipulate the chips in their cars to stage a traffic accident, making Jiang Anye, Xie Xiaowei, and the others disappear from this world.

But now, it seemed a guy like this had far too many weaknesses to exploit.

All he had to do was compile some of the dirt and send it in a package to Jiang Anye’s benefactor. Unless the man was a cuckold fetishist, he would definitely use this material to get insane revenge on Jiang Anye and his lackeys.

Leaning back in his ergonomic chair, he clasped his hands behind his head and couldn’t help but laugh. ’Thank you, internet. Thank you, information age. And thank you, human selfishness, for creating a nearly transparent network for me.’

If those internet companies didn’t leave a ton of backdoors in their software, Jiang Miao really would have no way to so smoothly access the deep web, dark web, and various internal networks.

Now that he had a plan to deal with them, Jiang Miao abandoned his other backup plans.

Those backup plans were actually quite simple, including:

Manipulating car and phone chips to create traffic accidents and fires.

Observing Xie Xiaowei’s genetic sequence, then creating a "special meal" plan for him for a few months to activate a hyper-allergenic mechanism in his genes. This would make him go into anaphylactic shock and respiratory arrest the moment he drank milk.

Xie Xiaowei had a daily habit of drinking milk because he worked out frequently. His social media was full of pictures of him drinking milk and protein powder shakes.

For Jiang Miao, getting rid of someone was just too easy.

...

「The next day, at noon.」

It was the same seaside seafood restaurant in Jinting Bay.

In a private room on the second floor.

"Xiaowei, a pleasure doing business with you."

Hearing this, Xie Xiaowei was ecstatic, his face breaking into a wide smile. "Hahaha, Brother Zhang, a pleasure doing business with you."

Zhang Xincheng raised his teacup in a toast. "Here’s to you making a fortune too, my friend."

"Hahaha, let’s get rich together!" Xie Xiaowei also raised his teacup and clinked it against Zhang’s.

Then, Zhang Xincheng said, a bit impatiently, "Xiaowei, when is your boss transferring the money to my account?"

"Looks like Brother Zhang can’t wait to get rich. Hold on a sec." Xie Xiaowei picked up his phone and made an international call.

"Hello? Da Xie, what’s the result?"

"Boss, everything went smoothly. The money can be transferred."

"Very good, Da Xie. When you get back, I’ll make sure you’re well rewarded."

"Then I’ll thank you in advance, Boss."

Half an hour later, Zhang Xincheng checked his secret account in the Xiangjiang River. As expected, US Dollars equivalent to ten million Hua Yuan had been wired from Malaysia.

Meanwhile, Xie Xiaowei also took out his phone and showed Zhang Xincheng his own account balance. It now showed an additional sum of US Dollars equivalent to fifteen million Hua Yuan.

"Brother Zhang, how’s that for our boss’s sincerity?"

"I get it. The data is yours."

Xie Xiaowei’s smile widened. "I’ll have two of my guys take the data back. I’ll stay behind as your guest."

"The formula is in my head. All of you, turn off your phones and get ready to take notes!"

"This..." Hearing this, Xie Xiaowei frowned. "Brother Zhang, isn’t that a bit risky? If we get it wrong, it could mean a loss of tens of millions."

"Heh, I mix the feed once a day. I know the formula by heart. Besides, your boss isn’t an idiot like the ones at West Sea Company. He’ll definitely run small-scale tests first. Do you really need to worry about me getting it wrong?"

Xie Xiaowei caught on, nodded, and then turned to his subordinates. "Everyone, take out your phones and turn them off."

He took out his own phone and turned it off as well.

Zhang Xincheng said with a faint, unreadable smile, "Xiaowei, don’t blame an old brother like me for being paranoid. It’s best to leave no trace with a deal like this."

"Understood, understood."

"Then let’s begin..." Zhang Xincheng began to describe, methodically and precisely, the formula’s ingredients, the dosages of various hormones, the timing, and other points of caution.

Looking at the more than twenty pages of notes, Xie Xiaowei realized the technology was quite complex. If they had really tried to reverse-engineer it from the wastewater, it probably would have taken more than half a year to get any results.

At the very end, Zhang Xincheng reminded them again, "...During the cultivation process, minimize contact with external water sources, or the fry will easily get infected by viruses and bacteria and die. This is especially true for fry that have just hatched within the month. You should raise them in a purified water tank if at all possible."

"The cost of this technology is actually quite high. The comprehensive cost per kilogram of glass eels is about 15,000 Hua Yuan. That means at the current market price, you can earn about seven to eight thousand per kilogram."

"The cost is that high?" Xie Xiaowei was a bit doubtful, but he didn’t understand the technology and didn’t know Hailufeng Company’s comprehensive costs either.

Zhang Xincheng had his excuse ready. "Otherwise, why do you think my brother-in-law was in such a rush to license the technology to Rokkaido Eel Company and Brown Company? It was to get a chunk of cash upfront."

"I see." Xie Xiaowei had a moment of realization.

After lunch, Xie Xiaowei’s two subordinates took the handwritten formula and hurried back to Ryukyu.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xincheng took Xie Xiaowei to his hometown and had him stay in his old house.

To show his sincerity, Xie Xiaowei even told Zhang Xincheng to lock him in the house, saying he only needed food delivered once a week. Before they arrived, they had already bought over a week’s worth of vegetables, fruit, instant food, as well as cigarettes and several cases of cola.
