Dark Light Chaser

Chapter 717 Reaching Agreement

Zhang Hui was ruthless in his efforts to recruit Ai Liang.

He knew perfectly well that no one would risk their life against a group of ruthless gangsters for a mere 100,000 yuan.

But if you reach an agreement with the Night Demon Gang, you can earn 100,000 yuan by running a errand in a few hours, which is practically free.

This 100,000 yuan was just to keep Ai Liang hanging on, to amplify her wishful thinking.

With half of his wealth secured, he was confident he could use the money to settle things with the Night Demon Gang, so that half of his wealth certainly wouldn't be much less.

Even if they don't reach an agreement, most people will still take a gamble for half of the property and won't immediately turn against them.

This was the best solution Zhang Hui could come up with after careful consideration.

Ai Liang didn't speak immediately; he avoided Zhang Hui's gaze and silently called out to him in his heart.

'Is it possible to access the corpse's memories?'

'They call me when they need me, and lock me in a dark room when they don't. How wonderful!'

Seeing that Anliang didn't say no, Ailiang knew that there was definitely no problem with this.

In just a few seconds, the memory was read.

'Hehe, I've compiled this guy's recent memories. Take your time looking through them.'

After saying that, the gloom fell silent once more.

Without wasting words, Ai Liang went straight to searching Anthony's memories.

A person's memories spanning decades are far too complex. Even if Ai Liang reads them very quickly, it's impossible for her to review every single memory in her mind in a short period of time.

Moreover, he had no interest in observing the ordinary life of an ordinary person.

Therefore, Ai Liang summarized a set of methods for extracting key information, starting from two aspects: professional identity and the most memorable actions in memory.

Soon, Ai Liang got the information she wanted.

Anthony, a Winterborn and a low-ranking member of the Night Demon Gang, was instructed by his superiors to transport a truckload of goods from Thousand Flower City to Runtong Logistics' No. 4 transit station in Neva City, waiting for the opportunity to personally hand over the goods to Kosoff, the Night Demon Gang's Neva City manager.

However, the Nightmare Gang in Nevada City was recently conducting an internal purge, so Kosov sent someone to hide him first, planning to transport the goods to the Nightmare Gang's territory after dealing with the mole.

In Anthony's memory, there are very few memories that can be described as memorable.

This was the only major job he had ever done within the Night Demon Gang, and he was both nervous and excited about it.

That's right, Anthony wasn't an important person; he was just a henchman responsible for transporting goods, and he knew nothing except handing the goods over to Kosov.

In other words, what the Nightmare Gang really cares about is not Anthony, but the shipment he is in charge of transporting.

Knowing this, Ai Liang was more confident that Zhang Hui could take down the Night Demon Gang.

As long as the goods can be safely delivered to the other party, Zhang Hui can most likely bribe his way out of Anthony's insignificant role.

It is said that human life is priceless, but this priceless does not mean that it is an invaluable treasure, but rather refers to the price you are willing to pay.

This is especially true for criminal organizations like the Night Demon Gang.

As long as the price is right, there's nothing we can't negotiate.

"How much of your half of the property is there?" Ai Liang asked tentatively.

There is a play!

Zhang Hui forced a stiff smile, suppressing his fear: "I won't list the fixed assets and other miscellaneous things. If you only want cash, I can guarantee that the final amount you get will be no less than three million!"

Even Ai Liang was surprised when this number came out.

He didn't believe that three million was really half of Zhang Hui's assets; the real amount was probably three times that number or even more.

Keep in mind that Zhang Hui has only been in Nevada for a few years. Ai Liang took a deep breath: "Is driving an unlicensed taxi for others really that profitable?"

Zhang Hui noticed Ai Liang's concerns and proactively explained, "Don't worry, I'm not lying to you. Although I haven't taken on many big orders, I have an apartment on Jinyang Road that someone gave me, which I estimate to be worth one or two million. In addition, I already had a lot of savings before I came to Nevada."

Ai Liang understood; she had almost forgotten that this guy used to be a star race car driver, so it was normal for him to have some money on hand.

Zhang Hui's carefree and irresponsible demeanor makes him seem quite unlike a wealthy person.

Just as Ai Liang was about to agree, Zhang Hao suddenly looked up and asked, "Was your apartment on Jinyang Road a gift from someone? Didn't you say you bought it?"

You rat, can't you control your mouth?! Why did you have to ask now of all times?!
Seeing that the deal was about to be finalized was about to encounter another setback, Zhang Hui slapped Zhang Hao on the head.

He quickly added, "Don't worry, although I didn't pay for the house, the property certificate only has my name on it, so it's already considered half of my assets."

Zhang Hui didn't really need to explain so much, because for Ai Liang, it didn't matter whether the house was his or not, as long as the money he received in the end was enough.

But Zhang Hui was clearly worried that Ai Liang would think he had been deceived, so he forced an explanation.

"Pleasant to work with."

Ai Liang extended her right hand to Zhang Hui.

"Happy cooperation!"

Zhang Hui grabbed Ai Liang's right hand with both hands and shook it violently.

"There's no time to lose, I'll contact the Night Demon Gang right away."

Zhang Hui let go of Zhang Hao's hand, took out his phone, and walked out of the house, kicking Zhang Hao as a gesture to him to clean up the house.

Zhang Hao rubbed his buttocks in frustration and led Ai Liang into the inner room.

"This place has been abandoned for a long time, so let's just make do with it."

Zhang Hao handed the bed sheet to Ai Liang, then spread the mattress on the floor: "Brother Hui isn't with us, so it's just me and Anthony here. We used to take turns sleeping on that folding bed outside, but I didn't want to sleep on a bed that had been used to die, so I moved it out. If you don't mind, I can bring that bed in."

Ai Liang waved her hand: "I'm not picky."

Zhang Hao was unsure whether Ai Liang meant "not picky" or "not picky about the environment" until Ai Liang threw the sheets directly onto the mattress.

Seeing Zhang Hao's blank expression, Ai Liang casually asked to pass the time, "You and your brother seem to have a pretty good relationship?"

"Ah...it's really good. We've known each other since we were little and grew up together."

"It's really good. Most people would have scattered and fled when disaster struck long ago."

Ai Liang struck up a conversation with him while making the bed.

"But I heard that Zhang Hui used to do quite well in Jitong City, so why did he come to Nevada?"

"...Don't even mention it. We ended up here because of that idiot's stupid things."

"Let's talk? If you can't talk, then forget it."

"There's nothing I can't say, it's just that what he did was really awful."

Zhang Hao's face contorted as if he were constipated: "You know, he's a racing star and knows how to charm women, so he must have plenty of girls around him, but he can't possibly end up in the boss's daughter's bed, can he?"

"Okay, I guess he's got some talent. He became the boss's son-in-law, saving himself a lifetime of struggle. But he was about to get engaged, and the day before the engagement, he went out to fool around, calling it his last bit of madness."

"Fine, arrogant. It's one thing for you to act arrogantly at other clubs, but to run into your father-in-law's usual haunt is unthinkable. Who can save you now? Just tell me, who can save you!"

"That bastard ran fast, and as a result, I got ambushed by his father-in-law and his men. Not only did I get a beating for nothing, but I also lost my job!"

Zhang Hao became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, looking like a complete fool.
