Tan Xiu was a very good judge of character, and he also believed in the results of the intelligence organization's investigation on Mouse. Such a greedy, life-cherishing, cunning, and astute character like him could be recruited as long as there were enough benefits. When he was roaming around in the Immortal Dimension all those years ago, he'd once recruited many such people.
Suddenly …
Tang Xiu felt as though he had returned to the time when he was messing around in a certain country in the Immortal World. Back then, he had calculated everything for the sake of his goal. Whether it was to crazily amass wealth or secretly recruit troops, the feeling of being the mastermind behind the scenes made his blood boil.
"Boss?"
Mouse cautiously looked at the somewhat absent-minded Tan Xiu and called out in a low voice.
Tan Xiu came back to his senses and expelled the past memories from his mind. Then, he happily said, "Three years. I'll give you three years. I need you to help me weave a network in the whole country, a big one like the one you control in Shanghai. Once you can do it, I'll teach you a cultivation technique so that you can have magical powers. I'll give you money and manpower when the time comes. I'll let you lay out your plan all over the world and surpass the Darkwind organization in the future. "
Mouse's eyes lit up and his heart pounded. Even though he had been forced to come here, he discovered that he had managed to grasp an enormous opportunity at a time when he had been forced into a corner.
"I'll definitely do it!"
Said Mouse resolutely and decisively.
Tan Xiu nodded. His fingers moved and an ancient talisman was instantly pressed on Mouse's brows. A gorgeous red ancient talisman seemed to be imprinted on Mouse's glabella.
"If you want to gain something, you must pay the price. I need my subordinates to be capable, but I also need them to be loyal. I've implanted a tracking talisman on your glabella. Even if you escape from Earth, I can still sense your aura, direction, and position through this ancient talisman. Three years later, as long as you can be unswervingly loyal to me and do what you promised, I'll remove this tracking talisman for you and train you as my trusted subordinate. "
Rat Shu's expression slightly changed. He subconsciously raised his hand and touched the red ancient symbol between his eyebrows. He had a strange feeling that there was an invisible thread connecting him and Tan Xiu together. He couldn't see Tan Xiu's situation on the other end of the line, but he knew that Tan Xiu could use this line to locate him.
"Boss, will this tracking talisman hurt me? Or are there any sequelae? "Mouse was shocked by Tan Xiu's means and asked cautiously.
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "There won't be any harm, and there won't be any sequelae. On the contrary, I infused the talisman into your body with Primal Chaos energy. It can subtly change your body with the passage of time, make your mind clearer, and after a long time, it can also improve your memory. "
Mouse was shocked and said gratefully, "Thank you, boss."
The next morning.
Tan Xiu looked at Ji Mu, who looked dispirited but had a blazing flame in his eyes. He came out from behind Mo Awu and lightly smiled, "Have you mastered all of them?"
"All of them." Ji Mu nodded.
Tang Xiu nodded and personally led Ji Mu to a room. He picked a good cultivation art from the weasel bristles and imparted it to him. Then, he said, "Cultivation is not something that can advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. It's reasonable to say that you've passed the best cultivation period at your age. You'll probably need a long time to barely step into the threshold of a cultivator if there's no external force to push you. However, considering the two thousand-year-old wild ginsengs you gave me, I'll give you a big gift when you can sense the spiritual qi in your body and can control it with your mind. It will improve your physique and increase your cultivation speed. "
Ji Mu looked happy and quickly asked, "How long will it take for me to achieve what you said, Brother Tang?"
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "Everyone's physique is different, so their cultivation speed is also different. Your aptitude is average, so I'm afraid you'll need a year and a half to achieve it if my guess is correct. However, if you can find some precious herbs to boil and take a lot of nutritious medicated meals during this period, you can speed it up a bit. "
"I understand. Thanks a lot." Ji Mu immediately nodded.
Thanks a lot. "
Immediately after, Tan Xiu took Ji Mu to the living room. He didn't let Ji Mu stay for a long time since he still had other things to do. After Ji Mu left, the shifty-eyed Mouse quietly approached Tan Xiu and whispered, "Boss, I didn't expect you to know the Young Master of the Ji Family in Changxi City! This guy usually doesn't do proper work, but he's very skillful. As far as I know, he controls several channels to make money in the dark. "
Tan Xiu's interest was piqued and he curiously asked, "Tell me, what channels to make money?"
"A construction company, four KTVs, two leisure centers, two gyms, and a car dealership," said Mouse. "No one can investigate him because these industries are not under his name. They are managed by his most trusted people, and the legal person is also the same person. Since the Young Master of the Ji Family often comes to Shanghai, he can be considered as half a Shanghai resident, so I sent some people to investigate him and spent a lot of effort to find out all the details he has. According to the results of the investigation, his annual net income is more than 100 million yuan. "
Tan Xiu was slightly surprised, but he recalled the gifts Ji Mu sent him. Indeed, he must have a way to make money. However, since he has the leisure to do these things, why can't he take over the Ji Family's industries? Given the Ji Family's status in Changxi City, the entire family's wealth should be more than 10 billion yuan or even tens of billions, right?
He secretly shook his head.
Tan Xiu didn't want to think about these things anymore. He asked Mo Awu and learned that the person in charge of the Everlasting Feast Hall's intelligence department in Shanghai and the ten surrounding cities had arrived, so he took Mouse to meet them. What surprised Tan Xiu was that the person in charge of Shanghai turned out to be a core member of the Everlasting Feast Hall. He also learned from Mo Awu that although this person was good at spying and gathering intelligence, his ability to control the intelligence network was a bit poor. He had even applied many times to hand over his work, while he himself wanted to go to Resting Cemetery Island in the South China Sea to cultivate.
Tang Xiu, on the other hand, was very satisfied with the man's obsession with cultivation and happily agreed to his request. He even introduced all the people in the other ten cities to Rat. First, he asked Rat to integrate the intelligence network of him and the Everlasting Feast Hall, and then establish a complete intelligence network of Shanghai and the surrounding ten cities.
Ouyang Lulu had been accompanying Tan Xiu all the time, watching him deal with each matter. Her big bright eyes flashed with splendor from time to time. She marveled at the Everlasting Feast Hall's deep heritage and also marveled at Tan Xiu's style and skill in handling matters.
"Honey, how about I take you to the University of Shanghai for classes this afternoon?"
Ouyang Lulu propped her chin while looking at Tan Xiu, who was eating lunch, and asked.
Tan Xiu swallowed the food in his mouth and snappily said, "I can guarantee that I'll be on the school's headlines tomorrow if you appear in my classroom. I'm afraid my classmates won't have the mood to go to class in the afternoon if you appear in my classroom."
"Why?"
Ouyang Lulu was puzzled.
"Haven't you heard that femme fatale?" Tan Xiu said. "You're too beautiful, so those boys will definitely steal glances at you, and those women will definitely be jealous of you. Do you think they will still have the mood to go to class? Lulu, we must be a good person. It's wrong to affect others' studies. "
Pfft …
Ouyang Lulu couldn't help but laugh. Despite being indirectly rejected by Tan Xiu, she still felt sweet inside as though she had drunk honey. However, this sweet feeling only lasted for a few minutes before Han Qingwu's arrival stirred it up. She was very perceptive and could naturally see that Han Qingwu had special feelings for Tan Xiu. They were both young people, and even though Han Qingwu seemed to be a few years older than Tan Xiu, this special feeling was definitely love.
"Tan Xiu, I'll take you back to campus."
Han Qingwu said with a serious expression.
Tan Xiu put down his chopsticks and picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth. He then nodded and said, "I didn't drive when I came here, so let's go back together!"
Tan Xiu sat in Han Qingwu's car and arrived at campus. There was still half an hour before the afternoon class. When he got off the car, he asked Han Qingwu about the location of the underground fighting tournament and learned that it was in Changxi City.
Ring, ring, ring …
Just as Tan Xiu opened the door, his mobile suddenly rang. After looking at the caller ID, he closed the door and sat in the front passenger seat to pick up the call.
"What's up?"
"Boss, I just got some unexpected news. The murderer of several recent murder cases, Austin Cole from a European SOE company, and more than a dozen of his men, were attacked by the military. Austin Cole was seriously injured and escaped under the protection of several of his men. Several people from the military also died. "Mouse's voice came from the phone.
"Did you sell the military information to them?" asked Tan Xiu.
"Yes, I sold it to them," said Mouse.
"Continue to look for the traces of Austin Cole and his men. If you find them, remember to find a way to notify the military," said Tan Xiu. "Also, keep an eye on Xie Zhiqiang of the Mind Gathering Biotechnology. Since they frequently contact each other, it means that there's some secret between them that can't see the light of day. Do your best to dig out this secret for me. "
"No problem!"
Mouse replied neatly and directly hung up the phone.
Tan Xiu didn't hurry to get off the car. After putting away his mobile, he took out a cigarette from Han Qingwu's car, lit it up, and took two puffs in silence. He knew very little about the Mind Gathering Biotechnology, and all he knew was from Mouse's mouth. As for Xie Zhiqiang, he made a few phone calls this morning and looked for his acquaintances in the Shanghai business circle to learn more about him.
Cunning, ruthless, greedy, and someone who regarded money as his life.
These words could describe Xie Zhiqiang's character.
The Mind Gathering Biotechnology was engaged in the business of electronic products and biopharmaceuticals. Xie Zhiqiang wasn't very famous in Shanghai, but it was said that he had a fortune of several hundred million yuan. The most important point was that Xie Zhiqiang seemed to have several Entertainment Centers, and it was said that he also opened a security company.
