Chapter 604 Uncle's High-Stakes Gamble
"Drip-"

Not long after Gao Dongxu, fully loaded, followed Director Luo back to the ground in the elevator, his phone, which had been without signal, rang with a text message notification.

Gao Dongxu took out his phone, his eyes lit up, and he immediately told Director Luo, walked aside, found the number, and dialed it back.

"Uncle, my phone had no signal for a while. Where are you now?"

Hearing that his uncle had returned and sensing a hint of excitement in his voice, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but smile and said, "I'll head back right away."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Dongxu approached Director Luo and said, "I'm sorry, Director Luo, I need to get back to the city immediately."

"Let's go, together—" Director Luo said with a smile. As they walked out of the building side by side, he took out his phone and called Director Liu, declining the latter's offer to come out and see them off.

Gao Dongxu first put the aluminum briefcase containing the ritual implements into the trunk, and then got into the car.

The car quickly drove out of the Ninth Bureau's headquarters. Inside the car, Director Luo looked at Gao Dongxu and asked, "When are you planning to leave for your province? I'll go and apply for the necessary documents for you."

"I've just returned to Beijing, you should let me rest for a couple of days. Don't worry, my people are keeping an eye on things there," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

“What’s the use of just keeping an eye on it? Those tomb raiders can rob the tomb in one night. It won’t take long to catch them all. Just go and come back quickly. Once you’ve dealt with that, you can rest however you want,” Director Luo said anxiously.

"Sigh, I kind of regret reporting this to you..." Gao Dongxu said with a helpless wry smile, "Tomorrow then, I'll leave tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll apply for it for you this afternoon. When you arrive in your province, they'll arrange everything for you," Director Luo promised with a smile.

"I'll say it again, don't get your hopes up too high. Since that tomb was discovered by warlords during the Republic of China era, it must have been emptied long ago. Those groups of people who went to explore that tomb might not have been looking for cultural relics; it could have been something else we don't know about." Gao Dongxu gave Director Luo another heads-up.

Director Luo's eyes were bright as he looked at Gao Dongxu and smiled meaningfully, "No matter what they are looking for, since several groups of tomb raiders are eyeing it, then the value of that tomb is extraordinary, and it is valuable to us as well."

"I hope so—" That was all Gao Dongxu could say.

"Hehe, I have faith in you. I'll be waiting for your good news," Director Luo said, looking at Gao Dongxu with expectant eyes.

"Don't just wait for my good news. The establishment of the department and the personnel still require your attention, leader. By the way, please help me recruit more beautiful women. I don't want any ugly or deformed girls; it's unbearable to look at them every day," Gao Dongxu said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

"Hahaha... You wish!" Director Luo first laughed, then his laughter turned into a cold sneer as he looked at Gao Dongxu and teased, "Recruiting some beauties? Heh, wouldn't that be sending a flock of lambs to the wolf's mouth?"

"Whatever you want, but if there's nothing attractive about the workplace, I won't stay here," Gao Dongxu said shamelessly.

Director Luo chuckled and scolded, "You brat, stop arguing with me. 749 is for you to do things and make contributions, not for you to mess around. You're a leader now, don't act like before, watch your words and actions."

"No, I'm still me, a different kind of firework. I don't want to change myself just because I have another identity." Gao Dongxu shook his head and said, "Director Luo, I'm serious. Everyone in my department must have decent looks, regardless of gender. Even if they're not pretty, they have to be pleasing to the eye. I'm a looks-obsessed person. If someone doesn't look good to me, I really won't give them a good look."

Seeing that Gao Dongxu didn't seem to be joking, Director Luo couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You brat, aren't you just messing around... Fine, I'll try my best, but you better watch out, or you'll make a mess of things."

"Don't worry, a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow. My main goal is to have a feast for the eyes and a pleasant mood." Gao Dongxu's eyes lit up, and he smiled with satisfaction.

"Come on, I don't believe you." Director Luo knew Gao Dongxu's information in great detail. If he didn't know it very well, how could he have such a high starting point?

Therefore, Director Luo knew very well that the brat in front of him was a reincarnated lecher who couldn't resist beautiful women.

However, while I agreed, in order to prevent 749 from becoming someone's private garden, I couldn't recruit too many beautiful girls, otherwise, I really don't know what would happen in the end.

Of course, both Director Luo and the higher-ups are willing to show some tolerance and care for Gao Dongxu, a young billionaire with impeccable political background who actively seeks to align himself with the organization and is willing to make contributions. He is also a rare talent with real abilities.

It's not a problem to love beauty, as long as it's not illegal.

"Director Luo, I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything." Upon arriving in the city, Gao Dongxu bid farewell to Director Luo.

"The transfer order should be approved this afternoon. Come to the bureau and pick it up then," Director Luo instructed.

"Okay, Director Luo, first arrange for a few people to set up the finance and procurement departments, and then go buy five black Cadillac Escalades. Complete the formalities and put up the license plates," Gao Dongxu said.

"No, the car exceeds the standard. Anything over 25 yuan requires approval. I myself only deserve a car worth 35 yuan. The Cadillac Escalade you mentioned not only exceeds the standard but is also too high-profile. It doesn't resemble the low-key demeanor expected of a secret department." Director Luo directly rejected the idea, speaking with a serious expression.

Gao Dongxu pursed his lips and said helplessly, "Alright then, let's go with the highest standard: five SUVs, two sedans, and one Coaster. I'll just buy a Cadillac Escalade myself."

"If you buy it yourself, even if it's a Rolls-Royce, I have no problem with it. Of course, if you're always riding in luxury cars and it's an eyesore to me, just don't be afraid I'll make things difficult for you," Director Luo sneered.

"Seriously? So petty?" Gao Dongxu teased in an exaggerated manner.

"Alright, stop joking, let's go—" Director Luo urged Gao Dongxu to get out of the car in an annoyed tone.

Gao Dongxu smiled, opened the door and got out of the car. After watching Director Luo's car leave, he got into his own G-Class.

"Uncle, how is it?" Gao Dongxu asked eagerly as soon as he saw his uncle in the luxury suite.

The uncle smiled and said, "Come in and let's talk—"

Seeing his uncle's beaming face, Gao Dongxu knew perfectly well that things had gone well.

Upon entering, seeing the five suitcases in the living room, he asked, "Have you looked at them?"

"Yes, I'm very happy. I highly praise your patriotism." The uncle looked at Gao Dongxu with a smile, his face full of satisfaction and emotion.

"Hehe, I guess I'm just being a humble person who hasn't forgotten my duty to the country," Gao Dongxu said happily, his eyes lighting up. "What are the arrangements, sir?"

"You and Director Luo should discuss holding a donation ceremony before October 1st," the uncle said with a smile.

"Which organization should we donate to?" Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow slightly.

“The National Museum,” the uncle said casually.

"Okay." Gao Dongxu nodded in agreement, then looked intently at his uncle and asked, "What about your matter?"

"There won't be any changes for now; I still need to stabilize the situation... However, the final destination hasn't been decided yet." As the uncle spoke, he looked at Gao Dongxu with a face full of emotion.

This report really gave my uncle a fright. The situation was pretty much as my good nephew had guessed. The higher-ups had already made up their minds to crack down on it.

Undoubtedly, without Gao Dongxu, he would still be dreaming of going even further.

"Are we going to airdrop?" Gao Dongxu's eyes lit up, and he raised an eyebrow as he asked.

The uncle nodded silently, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "We argued about it before, but now it seems ridiculous."

Gao Dongxu knew that the real plot was about to unfold, but this time, his uncle would not have a tragic ending.

In that case, we should look for Dehan's villa. With so much money, we absolutely can't let that poor guy get away with it.

Thinking of the monkey's missed attack and Dehan's dumbfounded expression, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but smile.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you laughing so happily?" The uncle asked curiously when he saw Gao Dongxu's barely suppressed smile.

"It's nothing, I'm just happy for you." Gao Dongxu naturally wouldn't tell his uncle that he was secretly planning to double-cross him.

"Hehe, to be honest, it's all thanks to you, otherwise, the consequences would have been very serious," the uncle said with lingering fear.

To be honest, when he heard the decision and determination to rectify the situation during the report, he felt a chill run down his spine and cold sweat poured down his back.

Whatever this group or that gang, under the thunder, they're all reduced to ashes.

"Look at what you're saying, I'm just trying to save myself. With the nest overturned, I'm counting on you to shelter me from the wind and rain. With you here, I can take shelter under a big tree. Without you, I wouldn't dare to be so reckless," Gao Dongxu chuckled.

"You rascal..." Uncle said with a kind and indulgent smile, "You're treating us to lunch, let's have a good drink together."

"Hehe, we really should celebrate. Have you told my aunt?" Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"I've already made the call..." The uncle hesitated, then finally said, "I've already confessed and admitted my mistake regarding that matter..."

"What do you mean?!" Gao Dongxu's expression immediately changed, and he asked his uncle with a furrowed brow.

"In short, correct the mistake, and don't let it happen again!" the uncle said with a wry smile.

"It's not your fault. No one is perfect or without weaknesses. They are scheming, and it's inevitable that you would overlook things..."

"Hehe, don't try to comfort me. In the end, I was still swayed by lust and failed to uphold my principles." The uncle smiled bitterly, but soon said meaningfully, "Although I took a great risk this time, the result is good, and I no longer have to live in fear."

Looking at his uncle, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but sigh, realizing that if he made a mistake, he might blow himself up.

My uncle is indeed shrewd and calculating; he is truly extraordinary.

"You're taking a huge gamble," Gao Dongxu exclaimed.

"Hehe, gambling isn't scary!" The uncle's eyes behind his glasses became unusually bright as he smiled and said.
