Chapter 298 Join if you can’t beat him

Chapter 298 Join if you can’t beat him
"Have I been dealing with such dangerous people all this time?"

The cold wind soaked James with sweat, and the senior agent from the Telecommunications Department belatedly realized that he was in extreme danger.

"Gathering and analyzing intelligence is my job, but summarizing and analyzing the target characteristics is even more of an instinct."

"I should have known about Li, Wang, Chen, and Han's characteristics a long time ago."

"Why did it take me so long to understand?"

James stood frozen in the car, clutching his head, his entire being filled with lingering fear!
Just now, in the executive room of Yihe West Gate, he discovered the special qualities of Liang Kun and others.

Unparalleled luck!
Some people often say that luck is part of ability, but no matter who it is, they never include this trait as an essential consideration when making a plan.

Luck is something invisible, inexplicable, and inexplicable.

You can say it exists? But it won't show up.

You say it doesn't exist? But many things really do happen by chance.

"No!"

"This is not my fault."

It took James a long time to calm down.
"That's because I didn't gather enough intelligence!"

James immediately found the key point.

That's right, it's because he didn't gather enough intelligence.

What a joke!

He still possessed the basic qualities of a senior intelligence agent from the Telecommunications Department; the problem lay in the lack of sufficient information sources.

It is still a valid source of information.

The gap between ordinary citizens and the governor's control over intelligence is much greater than the gap between a dog and a man.

Without sufficient intelligence, how can we obtain reliable analysis results?
Why did we get this result?
Naturally... Chen Guozhong's intelligence was too detailed!

James even suspected that the file was written from memory by the four of them.

Only the four of them would be so clear about what happened back then.

Only the four of them would not overlook a single detail.

For example, the terrifying deeds of the king.

It's no exaggeration to say that James got goosebumps when he saw Wang Dao's file.

How can there be such lucky people in the world?

What utter nonsense about being chosen by the gods! They're clearly the children of the gods!

Is he God's favorite son?

James rubbed his face hard, a hint of fear still on his face.

He knew he had been careless!
Do not!
Perhaps since arriving here, he has never seriously considered handling matters as an intelligence agent.

Looking back at his previous actions, James realized that he should have been hiding in the shadows, but instead he had somehow managed to come out into the open.

This is an absolutely intolerable mistake!
why?

Has the foggy city ruled Hong Kong for too long?

Or was it a special mission given to him by the foggy city?

James thought for a moment, started the car, drove straight to headquarters, and locked himself in his office.

He said to the crowd,

"I need to think about important things. Don't bother me, whether you have something to do or not."

His subordinates naturally dared not disturb him.

James slumped onto the sofa, still feeling the lingering fear.

Fear, relief.

This is the only emotion he has right now.

"so close!"

“Wang and his group’s luck is terrifying. If Simon hadn’t specifically brought out Wang’s file, I probably wouldn’t have been able to analyze his behavior.”

wrong!

James froze.

He stood up suddenly.

Even though I had read the files on the Kingly Way myself, I hadn't been able to analyze this terrifying trait of the Kingly Way at the time.

Why did I come to that conclusion right there with Simon?
This is not normal!

Very abnormal!

James couldn't explain that feeling. It seemed like something he thought of naturally, but it was utter nonsense!
If he had been able to analyze this intelligence earlier, he probably would have gone back to Chen Guozhong and apologized to him properly!
This feels so weird!

James calmed himself down by following the "4-4-4" rule.

He stood with his arms crossed, deep in thought.

How to describe the feeling of being in the executive room at the West Gate?

It's like Ximen wanted to get information about Wangdao and wanted to harm him.

Then someone needs to step forward and interrupt Simon's ridiculous idea.

Then this "tool" person appeared.

That's right, that "tool guy" is none other than James!

A very scary and terrifying idea.

But James had this feeling that at that moment, it was as if he wasn't speaking, but rather "someone else" was speaking through his mouth!

Looking back, it didn't feel unnatural at all.

Given James's qualities, he would naturally arrive at that intelligence conclusion.

But that's the scariest part!

Why did James draw that conclusion today, not the day before yesterday or yesterday?

Why did James draw this conclusion in Simon's office, when he wasn't in his own office or Chen Guozhong's office?

James is a high-ranking agent; he doesn't believe in any nonsense.

However, he now firmly believes that Wang Dao's "luck" is starting to work.

He seemed to have become part of Wang Dao's luck!

A part that's neither too big nor too small.

He timely conveyed the unique aspects of the kingly way to Simon from the perspective of a professional.

James also confirmed that Simon would definitely review Wang Dao's materials afterward.

All important people do this.

They won't simply trust intelligence from a single source; they will definitely cross-verify it through multiple channels.

Simon was also a member of the Jockey Club, so obtaining information about the Jockey Club was very simple and easy for him.

But this, in turn, confirms the credibility of James's words.

What will be the result then?

That naturally elevates the importance placed on the Way of the King to an even higher level.

Perhaps this will also increase James's value in Simon's eyes.

James was certain that Simon would absolutely not dare to use any means other than business tactics against Wang Dao now.

Anyone who sees Wang Dao's files, with just a little guidance, will arrive at this terrifying conclusion.

Some might say, "This is just superstition."

In reality, superstitious activities under the umbrella of monotheism in the Western world are even more prevalent than in our hometown.

To put it simply, if you go to a fortune teller and the result is that you will see blood soon.

If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely bleed in the next two or three days.

Things like cutting your hand while chopping vegetables or tripping while walking—just minor ailments like these.

Then you'll say, "Damn, that's incredibly accurate."

Actually, this kind of thing is all too common in life!

Even if you don't consult fortune tellers, you'll still encounter it occasionally, and quite frequently.

This is the guiding role of consciousness.

Guided by James's consciousness, Simon would never dare to do anything excessive to the four-man group.

In fact, this rendered his biggest card useless.

Is Simon's biggest asset his status as the taipan of Jardine Matheson? Or is it his wealth?
neither!
Ximen's biggest advantage is his identity as a foreigner, which can influence the Governor's decisions and exert pressure through the Governor's mansion.

Now, this card is useless!
James felt a chill run through his body!
This was clearly not my intention!
At that time, all I wanted to do was get rid of that trouble.

She simply didn't want to get caught up in the lives of the super-rich.

But at some point, he seemed to have become a pawn of Wang Dao and his ilk, turning into a weapon at a crucial moment.

Unconsciously, it became a weapon that aided the kingly way.

Whether it's your intention or not, the effect is the same.

James immediately understood Ba Bi, Xi B, Jiang Tiansheng, Bai Tou Weng, and others.

These people probably became the same kind of beings as they are now at some point.

However, those people had a grudge against Liang Kun and his gang, so they were eliminated.

The worst thing is to overthink things!
James is overthinking things right now.

In particular, he is a follower of Monism and believes in these things.

The differences between East and West are enormous.

If we survive a great calamity, we will shout things like "May our ancestors protect us!" or "May the Bodhisattva protect us!" and they will shout "Thank God!"

It seems consistent, right?

Inconsistencies have arisen.

We are extremely grateful to the person who saved us; we wouldn't have survived if they hadn't appeared at that moment.

The next step is naturally to express gratitude.

Westerners? They'll thank you a couple of times, and then forget about it.

I really forgot!

In Monism, everything is arranged by God.

It was God who did it through your hands.

They'll thank you, that's all.

God is the greatest!

James is a Monist, so he naturally inherited this ideology.

He trusted the story he had imagined.

It was clearly Wang Dao who made various arrangements after obtaining intelligence in advance.

With this setup, there's absolutely no need for Wang Dao to step in.

This leads to all sorts of coincidences.

But in James Simon's eyes, this was terrifying.

Was that a coincidence?
That was luck!

Was that luck?
That was God's arrangement, He's God's chosen one, God's illegitimate child!
Not convinced?

If you're not happy, then ask God to give you some good luck too.

You don't need anything else, just let God let you win a few more lottery tickets.

If you win, I'll believe it's luck!
Can you do it?

James shook his head violently, unable to hide his fear.

The more I think about it, the more terrified I become.

Even with the expertise of the telecommunications agents, they were finding it difficult to maintain their positions.

"If I ever go against them again, I'm a complete pig!"

James said viciously.

But no matter how I think about it, it doesn't seem safe.

Think about what happened to those who went against the right path.

It seems everyone suffered a terrible fate. Regardless of their thoughts, they all eventually disappeared.

James gritted his teeth.

How to do?
You can't win by fighting, and you can't escape by hiding.

Simon will definitely give him access to Wang Dao's intelligence, and Wudu will definitely let him continue to use powder to wreak havoc on Hong Kong.

However, Chen Guozhong, Liang Kun, and Wang Dao all firmly oppose the use of fans.

Anyone who dares to leave their fanbase will not be spared.

How the hell are we supposed to play this?
If this continues, will that invisible hand eventually cleanse itself?

James was sweating profusely with anxiety.

This is no joke.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

"I can't beat them, I don't dare to oppose them, and I can't avoid them either."

"Then why don't I just join them?"

"If I join them, they can't just come back and eliminate me, can they?"

James made the choice that was most beneficial to himself without hesitation.

This can be described as a multiple-choice question, or it can be described as having no choice at all.

If he doesn't want to be eliminated by some inexplicable, invisible force, then he should choose the side that is least likely to be eliminated.

That's the Chen-Li-Wang-Han faction. Most importantly, there are four of them, which is more than one person!
This eliminates the need for a choice.

After making the decision, James felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders, which made him even more fearful!
If I hadn't made this decision, if I had been lost in the benefits promised by Simon...

Who will ultimately suffer the consequences?

It's definitely not Wang Dao and his group.

James clearly sensed that he wasn't the main character.

If he were truly the main character, the recent series of setbacks would not have occurred.

However, I can still correct it!
James composed himself, picked up the phone, and dialed Chen Guozhong, his tone unusually respectful:
"Brother Zhong, do you have time? I'd like to visit you."

Chen Guozhong was very cheerful:
“I am now a police superintendent. I usually sit in the office and only go to the front line during special times.”

"You do it."

James respectfully put down the phone.

He knew exactly what he needed to do when dealing with the super-rich.

After tidying himself up in front of the mirror, he calmly walked out.

Twenty minutes later, he reappeared outside Chen Guozhong's office and gently knocked on the door.

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:
"Please come in."

He pushed the teacup in front of James.
"Ximen didn't make things difficult for you?"

James laughed too:

"Ximen wouldn't dare!"

"Wang Sheng's resume is enough for me to reject any underhanded tricks he may have."

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

“Simon wouldn’t use underhanded tactics.”

“People like us, if we resort to underhanded tactics, will cause a huge uproar.”

"It's not something you'd use casually."

"It seems you've made your choice?"

James said respectfully:

"Yes!"

"I want to join you."

Chen Guozhong said with a smile:

"Join us?"

James said seriously:

"I want to become your subordinate and work for you."

Chen Guozhong looked at him with great interest:
"Are you from Chongqing, or a high-ranking agent from the Telecommunications Bureau?"

Want to join us?

"You know, in the Western world, people don't think very well of us."

James disagreed:
"I'm not one of those idiots."

Chen Guozhong looked at him and found it quite amusing.

Of course, he's a seraph, so he's naturally ambitious—what kind of assassin becomes a police superintendent?

"You're very welcome."

James was overjoyed: "Really? Brother Zhong?"

“However…” Chen Guozhong shrugged, “There are four of us, so my word doesn’t count.”

"Here's what you're going to do: go see someone."

James nodded quickly:
"Brother Zhong, I'll listen to you."

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:
"Go and talk to Huang, and see Adao."

"If you pass his test, then I will naturally welcome you to join us."

See the King's Way?!

James trembled all over.

Chen Guozhong asked curiously, "Is there a problem?"

“No!” James took a deep breath. “I… I’m just honored.”

Chen Guozhong was speechless.

What's the situation?
Is Ado's reputation really that great?

But this is a good thing!

Chen Guozhong didn't take it to heart:

“Then go ahead. Ado told me a long time ago that if you come back to me, I will give you a chance.”

James' body trembled.

I'm scared!

Is the Kingly Way a monster?
Can you even predict your own actions?

I immediately felt a sense of relief.

fortunately!

Fortunately, I chose to join Chen Guozhong's side.

Otherwise, being targeted by such a terrifying guy, you wouldn't dare to sleep at night.

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:

"My previous promises to you are now null and void."

“Ado will give you the appropriate thing.”

"Go!"

James nodded solemnly:
"Yes!"

He acted as if he were speaking to the lady from the telecommunications department.

He was even more respectful than when he was with his wife.

Chen Guozhong stared at James's retreating figure in astonishment, utterly bewildered:
"Ado is putting so much pressure on this kid?"

"This is not like the James we usually see at all."

But, who cares!
Any troublesome matters will naturally be left to Adao to handle; I only need to act at the right time.

Life is pretty good now.

The only problem is...

I can't go to the front lines!

What a damn shame.

Chen Guozhong shook his head and focused on his Kung Fu tea again.

Fifteen minutes later, James successfully met Wang Dao in Huang's executive room. One sentence from Wang Dao almost scared him to death.

“If you hadn’t come to me today, I would have arranged for you to die in the home of some drug dealer.”

Wang Dao makes no attempt to conceal his motives.

"Are you a senior superintendent in the Political Department or a senior agent in the Telecommunications Department?"

"You have a special mission: to make money for Chongqing."

"Actually, if you want to make money through other means, I won't take action against you, and I might even turn a blind eye."

"But you insist on using powder..."

"This is a path to death."

"Fortunately, you did not cause any substantial losses."

That's right.

James has been here for four months, constantly using the drugs seized by the police to win people over.

But he really didn't cause any substantial damage to Hong Kong.

The reason is simple.

Wang Dao is keeping a close eye on things.

The moment he delivered the powder to someone, he was taken down.

Then James naturally continued to win over and corrupt certain short-statured individuals, while Wang Dao secretly eliminated them one by one, and so on in a cycle.

Of course, from beginning to end, the true path of benevolence will never be out in the open.

He's just a nobody in the gang, how could he do anything like a corrupt official?
He is the white paper fan of Hung Hing, so why would he interfere in the affairs of other triads?

Anyway, he wasn't the one who made the move, so no one will blame him for it.

That's it.

James sincerely admitted his mistake:
"Brother Zhong, I was wrong. I'll just play along with what's going on in Wudu from now on."

Wang Dao shook his head:
"No, no, no, you must persevere despite repeated failures and continue to win them over."

"Then tell Zhong Ge this news."

"Brother Zhong needs to take it a step further."

"By the way, you also need to take it a step further."

James suddenly looked up:
"what?"

The Way of the King:

"Do you want to develop your career in the intelligence system, or in the local Hong Kong government?"

James was completely stunned.

Is there even a choice?
You seem confused.
