Xue Nuo was silent for a mont, then said, "I don't know why you keep refusing to cooperate with . There's no conflict between us, just a common enemy. I really can't think of any reason for you to refuse."
"The reason is simple," Xiao Feng smiled, raising the corner of his mouth. "Because I guessed from the start that sooner or later you'd beco a commander without troops. Being too entangled with you offers no benefits."
As he said this, Xiao Feng felt a wave of satisfaction in his heart.
Back then, rejecting Xue Nuo's invitation wasn't because he genuinely foresaw sothing; it was simply because he didn't want to be constrained.
Even when he later got a "reserve mber" identity, it was just to avoid trouble.
To put it plainly, the idea of being managed by anyone never existed in Xiao Feng's mind.
Looking at it now, this choice couldn't have been more correct. Luckily, he wasn't too entangled with Xue Nuo at the ti; otherwise, he'd be in trouble now.
Xue Nuo was speechless for a while, and then said, "According to you, I have no identity now, and you don't have to worry about being implicated. So, isn't your reason for refusal invalid?"
"Hehe." Xiao Feng gave a dry laugh: "You have no identity, can't mobilize manpower, resources, or funds—why should I cooperate with you?"
"..." Xue Nuo.
Can we still have a pleasant conversation?
Xiao Feng earnestly said, "Old Xue, it's ti to wake up. Your current situation is like 'when it rains, it pours; when the ship is already sinking, the headwind hits,' truly struggling with each step.
To put it more bluntly, you're not even a pawn but an outright discard."
"You!" Xue Nuo was instantly infuriated.
However, although Xiao Feng's words were harsh, they were the undeniable reality.
Over at the Devil's Concentration Camp, they're itching to kill him.
On the side of the Demon Suppression Action Team, they've kicked him out.
With no place to belong to on either side, what's he if not a discard?
After a while, Xiao Feng felt it was about ti and casually revealed his true purpose: "Of course, if you really need soone to rely on, you could consider working under ."
In fact, he was constantly belittling Xue Nuo, saying he was worthless, just to completely shatter Xue Nuo's pride, making it possible for him to willingly work for Xiao Feng.
When Xiao Feng said he wanted Xue Nuo to work for him, Xue Nuo beca furious, "Are you sure you're not dreaming?"
Xiao Feng frowned. It seed he hadn't hit him hard enough, so don't bla him for striking hard now!
"What capital do you think you have now to negotiate with ? The wasps in your sleeve?"
Xiao Feng stated coldly, "If I were the one who gave you this ability, do you believe I could kill you with just a word?
Don't even ntion anything else. All it takes is for that newly appointed 'big sister' to send a few instructors, each carrying a Christmas Rose; what trump cards do you have left to protect yourself?"
Xue Nuo's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He was well aware that his ability in direct confrontation was weak, and the main thing he used to wound the enemy was the wasps in his sleeve.
If the wasps couldn't help, he wouldn't be a match for just two instructors.
Moreover, Xiao Feng's recent remark reminded him that if the person behind the scenes really revealed the weakness of his ability to the newly appointed 'big sister', what would he do?
Could it be that he really had to work under Xiao Feng?
No!
Absolutely impossible!
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill your woman?" A nacing gleam flashed in Xue Nuo's eyes.
Xiao Feng let out a cold laugh and said, "Wife, are you listening?"
"I'm listening," Du Qingyue replied.
"Don't be afraid of his threats. If it really cos down to a fight, just get close and hit him; he can't beat you."
"Got it."
"..." Xue Nuo.
Can you consider my feelings?
After a long silence, as if biting off a piece of his own life, Xue Nuo gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I can work for you, but we need to set so ground rules first..."
"No need for any ground rules, I'll give you a single task to focus on, and as long as you do it well, there won't be any problem," Xiao Feng said impatiently.
Xue Nuo was taken aback, "What task?"
"Build an intelligence network, the wider the coverage, the better, and the deeper the infiltration, the better. At the very least, Jiangcheng must be fully covered.
As for other places, there can be so flexibility, but the premise is that when needed, it must be activated imdiately and results obtained within half a day."
As he spoke, Xiao Feng's expression was more serious than ever.
Sotis, having unequal information is truly frustrating.
For example, Hua Ling could easily find out where he lived, but he didn't even know if she'd left Jiuyou Town.
Although he had people at his disposal, he couldn't send everyone out to gather intelligence, could he?
"You're kidding a bit too much," Xue Nuo comnted, "Do you know how much money it takes to et your requirents?"
Xiao Feng nodded, "I haven't planned to do it for free, the initial investnt I will cover, tens of thousands are nothing."
"Tens of thousands?" Xue Nuo almost wanted to laugh, "You think you can build an intelligence network with that little money?"
"Then how much do you say it costs?"
Xue Nuo pondered for a mont before replying, "Just to cover Jiangcheng would cost at least a billion, and that's just the yearly budget."
"You now leave the villa area, go two hundred ters ahead, turn left, and there's a bank. Go rob it," Xiao Feng replied crossly.
Xue Nuo said sternly, "The essence of an intelligence network is that it's a money-burning venture; it requires countless pairs of eyes, and you have to feed those mouths below them first, otherwise why would they tell you what you want to know?"
"I don't care about that, you figure it out yourself," Xiao Feng shalessly replied.
Spreading his hands, Xue Nuo shook his head, saying, "No money, can't fix it."
"Can't fix it? Fine!" Xiao Feng nodded and shouted into the microphone, "Wife, see him out!"
Du Qingyue imdiately took over, "Mr. Xue... please."
"..." Xue Nuo.
This couple is even blacker than Zhou Papai.
They want to work but don't want to pay, do they think all the good deals are theirs?
With a silent curse of "dog couple" in his heart, Xue Nuo proposed, "If we want to save money, it ans we have to change the approach a bit."
"Let's hear it," Xiao Feng said in a commanding tone, as if he had already regarded himself as Xue Nuo's superior.
Xue Nuo said, "With limited funds, the scope can't be too large, so we have to take the high-precision route.
For example, if we want to deal with a company, we could send this team to gather intelligence or infiltrate the upper echelons. There are many thods, but the goal is singular—to find out what we want to know."
"Just handle it yourself, I trust you," Xiao Feng readily agreed, taking on the role of a hands-off manager.
As long as no money is required, they can do whatever. Just get moving first.
