Chapter 764 Taking over

At about the same time w.a.n.g Yun entered the city, many big shots in the Kong Consortium became aware that he was back. These big shots were waiting for a show as w.a.n.g Yun and his two compet.i.tors started a power struggle.

The power struggle in the Kong Consortium’s intelligence agency had been going on for nearly a month now. Kong Donghai had already revealed to his trusted aide that he would decide on who would take over at the intelligence agency within the next three days. In the end, w.a.n.g Yun’s sudden return added a lot of excitement to the show.

Someone said w.a.n.g Yun was even bleeding when he came back in from outside the city.

But to everyone’s surprise, w.a.n.g Yun did not go and see Kong Donghai directly. Instead, he went back to his own safe house first and headed straight for the Kong Consortium’s secret prison after that!

Even w.a.n.g Yun’s compet.i.tors did not know what he was up to. w.a.n.g Yun’s return this time felt very unusual.

The director of the 1st Military Intelligence Division sat in his office and asked his subordinate, “Did you see who w.a.n.g Yun brought back with him?”

Everyone was still concerned about whether w.a.n.g Yun had caught the No. 001 Experimental. Kong Donghai was quite advanced in age. If w.a.n.g Yun were to bring back the No. 001 Experimental at this time, he was bound to instantly become the candidate with the best chances.

The subordinate thought for a moment and answered, “We have someone keeping an eye on him but did not see anyone being escorted back. However, it’s also possible that the No. 001 Experimental was hiding among them disguised as their 2nd Division’s troops. It’s very difficult to get a confirmation of that.” The director of the 1st Military Intelligence Division smiled. “The No. 001 Experimental should be very powerful. It’s impossible that it would willingly follow w.a.n.g Yun back and become a guinea pig to be researched. So there’s a high chance he didn’t manage to capture. But don’t let your guard down. Go, find out what he’s up to at the secret prison.” w.a.n.g Yun had already arrived outside the secret prison. This time, no one stopped him, and he pa.s.sed through smoothly.

As the director of the 2nd Military Intelligence Division, w.a.n.g Yun’s authority was terrifying. This was the reason why many people feared him.

Next to him, w.a.n.g Yun’s subordinate said, “Sir, the Pyro Company member has been brought out from his cell. He’s in the first interrogation room. He’s a T4 combatant from the Pyro Company. He’s very tight-lipped and hasn’t given us any information before. Would you like me to prepare any torture instruments?”

“There’s no need.” w.a.n.g Yun shook his head. “I’m not here to interrogate him. Stand guard outside and don’t allow anyone to enter the interrogation room. Go and turn off the recording equipment as well.”

His subordinate rushed to find the warden of the secret prison. It was ant.i.thetical to the rules to turn off the surveillance cameras, and the secret prison was not managed by w.a.n.g Yun. But it did not matter. w.a.n.g Yun also had something on the warden, so a small matter like that could easily be handled.

w.a.n.g Yun waited for the surveillance cameras to be turned off before pus.h.i.+ng open the door and entering the interrogation room.

The incandescent light inside was a little blinding. The T4 combatant, who was sitting inside, did not move at all. The long imprisonment time and interrogations had exhausted him physically and mentally.

When the Pyro Company’s T4 combatant saw that someone had come in, his expression did not change a bit. “What do you want to ask today?”

However, w.a.n.g Yun did not say anything. He only took out an audio player he had brought in with him. There was a file inside he had just copied onto it.

A moment later, w.a.n.g Yun pressed the play b.u.t.ton, and a strange sound started playing. When the T4 combatant heard the sound, he had a puzzled look on his face. He was wondering what w.a.n.g Yun was up to. But a second later, the Pyro Company member suddenly lost consciousness and fell on his side while foaming at the mouth!

w.a.n.g Yun pried open the man’s eyelids and stood up after confirming he was really unconscious. He took a deep breath before turning around to leave the interrogation room.

“Sir.” His subordinate who was waiting outside looked at w.a.n.g Yun and realized his superior was smiling

The smile on his face grew wider and wider until w.a.n.g Yun could no longer hold it in. He started laughing as he walked out of the secret prison and headed straight for Kong Donghai’s official residence!

The contents of that hard drive turned out to be an audio file that could be used against the Pyro Company’s troops as well as some DNA information.

It was just like how the Pyro Company had controlled the tarantulas. They only dared to release the tarantulas into the wild because they had a “key” to control them. Likewise, the Pyro Company’s combatants were treated like tarantulas by their own organization’s higher-ups. They had deliberately been genetically modified so they could be controlled easily. This was to ensure they would never betray the Pyro Company.

Therefore, even though the Pyro Company had been mistreating those people at the bottom so harshly over the years, no one had defected yet. This was the crux of the matter. The Pyro Company had full control over their underlings’ lives!

However, there were also hidden dangers behind a stable rule like that. Once this doc.u.ment got leaked, the entire Pyro Company’s authority would crumble like a sandcastle.

When w.a.n.g Yun saw this doc.u.ment, he could not help but get excited. How could he not be?

The Pyro Company and the Kong Consortium were northern and southern neighbors. The tension between them had been going on for many years, and they both coveted the other’s resources.

And right now, it seemed like there was only death awaiting the Pyro Company.

However, this doc.u.ment should be a top secret of the Pyro Company. How did it end up getting stolen by w.a.n.g Wenyan?

w.a.n.g Yun thought hard, but electronic technology was not his expertise. He could not figure out what was going on at the moment and could only admit that w.a.n.g Wenyan was truly more capable than him.

When w.a.n.g Yun walked out of the secret prison, he stopped in his tracks. His subordinate asked, “Sir, what’s the matter?”

“Was it a coincidence that I stole this from w.a.n.g Wenyan’s hands, or did w.a.n.g Wenyan deliberately let it happen?” w.a.n.g Yun pondered.

His subordinate said, “I don’t think it’s a coincidence. If you weren’t around, there would be no one to stop him. w.a.n.g Wenyan can’t even be attacked by a sword after turning into a black mist, nor can bullets harm him any. No one could stop him after he stole the information, but it just so happened that he b.u.mped into you.”

w.a.n.g Yun’s power was a natural counter to w.a.n.g Wenyan’s skill.

As such, even though it looked like w.a.n.g Wenyan had failed miserably, w.a.n.g Yun still felt that something was not right. Instead of stealing the information at a different time, w.a.n.g Wenyan had to do it right when w.a.n.g Yun was pa.s.sing by.

Furthermore, the boss of the Anjing House was clearly in the Sacred Mountains as well, yet she did not retrieve the information w.a.n.g Yun had seized. The entire sequence of events even felt like it was just an act, albeit an unconvincing one.

“Sir, is there a problem?” his subordinate asked.

w.a.n.g Yun smiled. “No. Prepare the car and send me to Boss Kong Donghai’s mansion!”

w.a.n.g Yun had no choice but to act on his findings. He was already back at the Kong Consortium. If he could not produce anything of value, it would be difficult for him to walk out of the Kong Consortium alive once either of his compet.i.tors took over.

So no matter what conspiracy might be hidden behind this hard drive, w.a.n.g Yun had to continue moving forward!

Moreover, he was not planning to stay on forever with the Kong Consortium after his return this time. w.a.n.g Yun had other plans!

That night, news that shocked everyone in the Kong Consortium started spreading from Kong Donghai’s official residence. There was a change of candidates for the position of the intelligence agency’s director overnight. Kong Donghai seemed very happy and did not wait another three days to decide.
