Wog Zongxu said to the prison guard innocently, “Ah, right. I forgot to tell you something. I’ll have to trouble you to tell Governor Xu about this.”
The prison guard frowned. “What is it?”
“I really need money, I’ve been planning to cooperate with Secretary Xu ever since I met him, but as you know, the Wu family and the Xu family are rivals, after all. I was afraid that Secretary Xu would screw me over, so I asked someone to buy the latest secret camera developed by the Imperial Phoenix Armament Group in Sab. That camera was very expensive. It was two million yuan per camera. I only managed to buy it using my connections. Every time I met with Governor Xu and Secretary Xu, I used the camera to record them.”
Wu Zongxu spoke very casually, like a harmless little white lotus. However, his words were like knives to the prison guard.
As he said more, the prison guard’s expression grew more and more unsightly.
Wu Zongxu touched the button on his shirt and said, “You know, the Imperial Phoenix Group is the largest financial magnate in Sab. They are the largest weapon R&D provider in Sab. Many countries around the world are willing to import weapons from the them. I heard that they had developed a pinhole camera that could not be detected by any existing devices, so I spent a lot of money to get someone to buy it. I was afraid that if something happened to me, no one would save me. After all, I’m an orphan and have no one to rely on in this world. So, I always carried this camera with me and recorded all the information I could, everywhere and anywhere. I had sensors on this camera that could transmit videos to my friends in real-time. I told my friends that if I died, they should immediately post these videos online. Even this conversation is being transmitted in real-time right now.”
With that, Wu Zongxu held his bowl up and prepared to eat.
Just as his spoon was about to enter his mouth, the prison guard smacked it onto the ground in exasperation.
Just like that, his sumptuous meal was swept to the ground.
Wu Zongxu was not annoyed. He just smiled and said to the prison guard, “I’m hungry. I don’t have anything to eat now that you’ve swept the dishes to the ground. Hurry up and prepare another meal for me. And give me more meat with this one!”
The prison guard narrowed his eyes slightly. He reached out and pulled the first button on Wu Zongxu’s shirt off. When he inspected it, he found something that looked like a piece of cloth stuck to it. The button was white, and the cloth was beige. It was stuck to the button, it was very inconspicuous. There were two very short threads made of an unknown material inside the cloth. The guard was now sure that Wu Zongxu was not lying. He actually always carried a camera with him.
This was a matter of great importance to the Xu family, so the prison guard did not dare to be negligent. He could only calmly ask, “What do you want?”
Wu Zongxu smiled. “Tell your master that I don’t blame him for trying to silence me. After all, if I were him, I would do the same. I hate Wu Jingzhong! I really hate him! Your master doesn’t have to be so wary of me. I just want to make a mutually beneficial deal with him. In this deal, I take the money, and he gets what he wants. It’s a win-win. I’m here waiting for him to save me. If he doesn’t and I die or go to court, then he probably won’t be able to keep his current position. But if I don’t die and stay alive… If he likes me, I’m willing to work with him again.”
