Chapter 541: Keep an eye on them
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rundi
After ending the call with Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen closed his laptop, leaned back into the chair and began to think with his eyes closed.
Based on the news from Zhang Yapin, through arrangements with Han, the time of the visit was set for December 21st. During this visit, he will represent Xin businessmen as the President of Future Group to explore business partnership opportunities with Han enterprises…
At least on the surface.
Just like Xia Shiyu said, the country has an unclear attitude toward Future Group. Jiang Chen tricked Linhua Group terribly in the Xin tourism development project, he would never believe that the Wang family would forget the past and settle with him.
Not only the Wang family, the VR industry chain affected multiple fields. There were certainly a group of people that held a hostile opinion toward Future Group who came in as a powerful outsider.
Future Technology needed an ally, an alley with a strong enough voice.
That was the top mission for this visit.
As to the candidate, Jiang Chen had someone in mind. Zhou family was not bad a choice with reasons baring none other than that their family assets were mostly in the military tech field, therefore lacked the possibility of competition with Future Technology. And also their stance toward Future Technology last year caused divergence with the Wang family and a strain in their relationship.
Of course, the most critical part was that they had a powerful voice in Han.
The problematic part was that they became interested in the application of virtual reality technology in the field of military tech. While Jiang Chen didn’t mind helping Han in this field, he didn’t have the intention to give grounds in core virtual reality technology.
Just as Jiang Chen was debating how to reach a partnership with the force in Han, Ayesha quietly walked beside him with a plate containing golden fried rice and some milk and placed it on his table.
“Mhmm? Is it done already? You don’t have to bring it up, you could have just called me down.” Jiang Chen smiled at the considerate girl.
“You looked busy so I brought it up. Are you done now?” Ayesha asked lightly.
“Mhmm. I just asked about the current work situation in Han. There was nothing important, so it didn’t take long.” Jiang Chen smelled the aroma of the fried rice as he just wanted to devour them.
A beautiful curvature appeared on Ayesha’s mouth when she saw Jiang Chen’s expression, “A new recipe I learned from Aunty Li.”
Since the two elders moved to Xin, they began to enjoy their quiet and peaceful life. When Jiang Chen was not busy, he would go visit his parents and have dinner. However, most of the time Ayesha was the person that accompanied them. The cute Ayesha was particularly adored by Mommy Jiang.
“Is it?” Jiang Chen rubbed her head, “Thank you for spending time with them for me.”
Ayesha timidly lowered her head as she sensed the warmth from the hand on her head.
There was no plan this morning. After breakfast, Jiang Chen went to the backyard of the mansion. Other than plants tended by drones and a swimming pool, there was also a new shooting range.
Without wearing any protective gear, Jiang Chen casually took out a pistol from his storage dimension, aimed at the target 50 meters out and pressed the trigger.
Bang!
Three consecutive shots left three bean-sized holes on the wooden target. One ten ring and two eight rings, Jiang Chen was pleased with the result. He hasn’t practiced for a long time and felt unfamiliar with shooting.
If it were before, there should be no problem getting two ten rings.
He remembered in the beginning when Sun Jiao taught him how to shoot as a reminiscent smile appeared on his face. Only two years passed, but it felt like a long time has passed.
Just then, Jiang Chen’s ears moved, and suddenly he raised his pistol while slowly moving to the entrance of the shooting range.
Faint ripples appeared in thin air as the blonde Ghost Agent with hands raised walked in front of Jiang Chen.
“Sorry, I was just curious…” Penny scratched her head and said in embarrassment.
Only the most loyal warriors could obtain a stealth suit, and Jiang Chen didn’t suspect their loyalty. She was really just curious. Curious if Jiang Chen could really detect their presence without checking the EP map.
“Curiosity kills the cat.” Jiang Chen didn’t get angry because of her intrusion; instead, he jokingly left this sentence and put away his weapon.
Seeing Jiang Chen was not angry, Penny didn’t say more and awkwardly looked away.
“What about the mission I gave you?” He didn’t persist further on this question as he reloaded the pistol and asked nonchalantly.
When Jiang Chen asked about the mission, Penny put on a stern face.
“It has been completed.”
Then, she took out the tablet computer from a tactical backpack. Her finger continuously pressed a few times on the screen before handing it to Jiang Chen.
Penny was the Ghost Agent sent to Norway to track the spy from Leilian Company. After she finished her work, Jiang Chen didn’t call her back immediately, instead sent her to Frankberg to investigate the relationship between Willie Society and the Rothschild.
The progress of the investigation was not smooth as there was no evidence that directly suggests a connection between the two. It was not until some time ago did she finally make some progress.
“This picture is?” Jiang Chen took over the tablet and looked at the Slavic on the screen as he felt the face looked familiar.
Then, he suddenly recalled that he saw this person at Carmen’s manor. It was the last day of the Frankberg trip, he and Ayesha were walking to the garage when they saw Carmen talking with a Slavic.
“Corso, originally a guerrilla of the Balkans, became active as an arms dealer in the Mediterranean after the end of the civil war and is now active in the Ukrainian area. He provides weapons and equipment to government forces under the authorization of NATO.”
“He is related to the terrorist attack in Ber?”
“There is no direct evidence suggesting he is related to the attack, but without a doubt, he has a close relationship with the Rothschild family. Also, when I followed him to Ukraine, I discovered he was in contact with Willie Society.
The three points connected into a line and the conclusion was certain. Just like what he had suspected, the Rothschild was connected with Willie Society!
The Ghost Agent looked at Jiang Chen in deep thought and waited for his order.
“Return to Frankberg, I need you to continue keeping an eye on the Rothschild and Willie Society.”
Although he knew curiosity kills the cat, to the ambition displayed by the Rothschild family, Jiang Chen felt concerned.
“Yes.”
The Ghost Agent nodded and hid herself away.
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh at Penny’s deceptive exit. He then reloaded the pistol and aimed at the target again.
But then, his phone began to ring.
He took out the phone and looked at the number on the screen as a genuinely shocked expression appeared.
[They are here already?]
