Stuck in a Chinese novel - Chapter 244

Chapter 244: The blackmail
Chapter 244

“Make sure you don’t let anyone in. The priority is the director. Other than that, you’re not allowed to take personal breaks either except for the specified times.” The head guard explained everything to Wei Jun once he was called back in. He was explained in great detail about what to do and what not to do.

Once Wei Jun confirmed he understood everything after the tour, Wei Jun was assigned to his position. One of the rules was that he couldn’t take personal breaks and his phone was also taken.

Luckily, Wei Jun had backups in his inventory and once he was out of sight, he equipped a small Bluetooth in his ear and talked to Li Wei.

Per her introductions, once he was free, he looked for a computer that could be connected to the main net but unfortunately, none of the computers were. Since there was no such device available, his next option was security access.

Luckily, he was soon sent there for his clearance. Once there, he let the security officer do his thing while he sneakily inserted the device into the mainframe computer.

“It will take approximately three days, boss,” Li Wei spoke from the other side and Wei Jun started the timer. Since he couldn’t come to the security room without a reason and not a good one came to mind, Li Wei took that into consideration and constructed a program that transferred everything to her from the flash drive so he didn’t need to return to retrieve it.

Wei Jun returned to his post and just like that, three days passed without anything uneventful happening. On the third day, he was approached by the head guard who said, “An important guest is coming tonight. Your task is to make sure nothing goes wrong.”

“What of their electronic devices?” Wei Jun asked.

“Take them all. Take their watches too. Leave them at the checkpoint and make sure to leave yours too while you escort them with the other members. Then you have to return to your post.” Wei Jun nodded.

This was a task that anyone could have done so Wei Jun wasn’t special when he was asked to do so. Since Wei Jun was new and hadn’t done anything noteworthy, he hadn’t stood out except for the fact that he performed well in the interview.

So taking that into consideration, he wasn’t allowed any special access as well and his encounter with the chairman was zero as well.

Tonight, however, he was lucky enough because the number required for the escort of the guests was fifty and he was just good enough to be included.

Wei Jun received the guests who were wearing masks on their faces but he knew who both of them were. One of them was his pet mayor whom he had threatened with something and the other one was none other than the pastor whose schedule revealed his presence tonight.

Once Wei Jun checked them up with the rest of the guards and made sure they weren’t carrying anything, he led them to the meeting room along with the rest of the bodyguards.

Along the way, the mayor tripped and fell.

“What the hell?!” The mayor said when he got up, dusting his clothes, and yelled, “You bastards! Do your job properly.”

“My apologies,” Wei Jun stepped forward, dusted the mayor’s clothes, and said, “We were lenient in our job. Please find it in your magnanimous heart to forgive us.”

“Hmph!” The mayor harrumphed, fixed his mask, and continued his journey under the guidance of Wei Jun. Once they were there, Wei Jun nodded to one of the guards to knock on the door.

The door was opened by the head guard who checked everything was okay and nodded to the guards while he said, “Take your leave now.”

Wei Jun nodded and with the other guards, returned to his post. The meeting lasted for about one hour and once everything was done, the guards were once again tasked with escorting the guests out.

After that, they were done for the day. Wei Jun came out of the building and made his way to his car. In his car, he made his way to a cafe downtown which was emptied for his meeting with the mayor.

“Wh-Why here?” The mayor asked.

“It makes it harder to slap you in such an open place.” Wei Jun gave an answer that wasn’t elaborated but the mayor understood perfectly.

“My—My face…” He didn’t complete the sentence, and he didn’t have to since Wei Jun knew what exactly he was asking about.

“Are you in any position to make demands?” Yan Rong, who was sitting at a separate table asked. She was the one who acted as the mayor’s driver today and also made sure that the mayor didn’t do anything stupid and brought her straight to the cafe.

The mayor gulped at that question and remained quiet.

“Don’t worry. I have use for you and as long as you keep being useful, your screw-up will only harm me.” Wei Jun said.

An assurance and a threat at the same time. As long as the mayor didn’t do anything stupid and did as Wei Jun asked, the mayor would be protected. But if he did anything stupid, his fate would be less than desirable.

The mayor sighed and relief and with trembling hands, he pulled out a small device. It was a recording device that was linked to his glasses.

His glasses were the only thing he was allowed to take in and that’s where Li Wei had fitted a camera.

Wei Jun plugged it into a laptop which he retrieved from his inventory and checked it. Wei Jun smirked as he saw the video playing on the laptop. He looked at the mayor and said, “You were incredibly useful this time.”

Without saying another word, Wei Jun nodded to Yan Rong and left with her. The mayor was left to go home on his own. If he didn’t make it home, Wei Jun was perfectly fine with that because he was replaceable.

~~

“Start the plan.” Wei Jun said.

Li Wei, who was looking at the video with a disgusted expression asked, “Are all priests like that?”

“I don’t give a dime’s fu*k.” Wei Jun replied before he added, “Make sure to keep the puppet out of this. We just need this video to get the first phase done.”

Li Wei nodded and said, “You do know they will figure out where this video came from.”

Wei Jun chuckled and said, “No matter how powerful they are, he is still the mayor. She will be angry and deploy some schemes but, in the end, she will have to look for a calm approach.”

Li Wei nodded and got to work. Wei Jun also sighed and got ready for work. After all, it was time to get an earful.

~~

“You bastards!” The head guard hit one of the guards and yelled and cursed in all sorts of profanities, “Didn’t I tell you to take their belongings?”

Wei Jun looked at him and replied, “We radioed you to ask about the glasses. You were the one to authorize.”

The head guard looked at Wei Jun silently and then with slow steps, came in front of him and asked, “Oi, mister Chow, do you think you can run your mouth carelessly in front of me?”

“I’m only answering your question, sir,” Wei Jun simply said.

Swoosh!

The head guard didn’t say anything to that and punched Wei Jun without a warning. The punch’s speed was fast and the Qi in it was also considerable.

However…

Tham!!!

Wei Jun effortlessly blocked it after activating [Qi armament]. Wei Jun looked at the head guard whose expression was marred with shock. Wei Jun let go of the punch once it lost all the force behind it and said, “Mister Wang, keep your hand in control if you want to keep it.”

[Terror]

The head guard gulped and involuntarily took a step back. Wei Jun, on the other hand, remained as monotonous as he had been since day one.

The head guard was about to do something when his phone rang. He pulled it out and answered it. After a few yeses, he put it back in his pocket and turned to Wei Jun, “I will deal with you later.”

Wei Jun just looked at him without any particular reaction which clearly indicated he didn’t care at all which only made the head guard angrier.

~~

“They’re here, boss,” Li Wei’s voice flowed into Wei Jun’s ear as he looked at a limousine approaching through his helmet glass.

He could only sense one person in the car and once it stopped, the person inside got out. It was none other than the director of the pharmaceutical company.

Wei Jun looked at the extremely beautiful tall woman who looking around the harbor but couldn’t see much farther due to the darkness of the night.

“Where are you?” Yi Rang, the woman asked as she looked around.

“It seems she kept her part of the bargain.” Li Wei said.

“Then why isn’t she anxious at all?” Wei Jun asked back. For someone who was being blackmailed, Yi Rang was unusually calm.

Wei Jun smirked underneath his helmet and made his way into the sole light on the entire harbor, coming into Yi Rang’s view.
