Chapter 764 Taking over
At about the same time Wang Yun entered the city, many big shots in the Kong Consortium became aware that he was back. These big shots were waiting for a show as Wang Yun and his two competitors started a power struggle.
The power struggle in the Kong Consortium’s intelligence agency had been going on for nearly a month now. Kong Donghai had already revealed to his trusted aide that he would decide on who would take over at the intelligence agency within the next three days. In the end, Wang Yun’s sudden return added a lot of excitement to the show.
Someone said Wang Yun was even bleeding when he came back in from outside the city.
But to everyone’s surprise, Wang Yun did not go and see Kong Donghai directly. Instead, he went back to his own safe house first and headed straight for the Kong Consortium’s secret prison after that!
Even Wang Yun’s competitors did not know what he was up to. Wang Yun’s return this time felt very unusual.
The director of the 1st Military Intelligence Division sat in his office and asked his subordinate, “Did you see who Wang Yun brought back with him?”
Everyone was still concerned about whether Wang Yun had caught the No. 001 Experimental. Kong Donghai was quite advanced in age. If Wang Yun were to bring back the No. 001 Experimental at this time, he was bound to instantly become the candidate with the best chances.
The subordinate thought for a moment and answered, “We have someone keeping an eye on him but did not see anyone being escorted back. However, it’s also possible that the No. 001 Experimental was hiding among them disguised as their 2nd Division’s troops. It’s very difficult to get a confirmation of that.” The director of the 1st Military Intelligence Division smiled. “The No. 001 Experimental should be very powerful. It’s impossible that it would willingly follow Wang Yun back and become a guinea pig to be researched. So there’s a high chance he didn’t manage to capture. But don’t let your guard down. Go, find out what he’s up to at the secret prison.” Wang Yun had already arrived outside the secret prison. This time, no one stopped him, and he passed through smoothly.
As the director of the 2nd Military Intelligence Division, Wang Yun’s authority was terrifying. This was the reason why many people feared him.
Next to him, Wang Yun’s subordinate said, “Sir, the Pyro Company member has been brought out from his cell. He’s in the first interrogation room. He’s a T4 combatant from the Pyro Company. He’s very tight-lipped and hasn’t given us any information before. Would you like me to prepare any torture instruments?”
“There’s no need.” Wang Yun shook his head. “I’m not here to interrogate him. Stand guard outside and don’t allow anyone to enter the interrogation room. Go and turn off the recording equipment as well.”
His subordinate rushed to find the warden of the secret prison. It was antithetical to the rules to turn off the surveillance cameras, and the secret prison was not managed by Wang Yun. But it did not matter. Wang Yun also had something on the warden, so a small matter like that could easily be handled.
Wang Yun waited for the surveillance cameras to be turned off before pushing open the door and entering the interrogation room.
The incandescent light inside was a little blinding. The T4 combatant, who was sitting inside, did not move at all. The long imprisonment time and interrogations had exhausted him physically and mentally.
When the Pyro Company’s T4 combatant saw that someone had come in, his expression did not change a bit. “What do you want to ask today?”
However, Wang Yun did not say anything. He only took out an audio player he had brought in with him. There was a file inside he had just copied onto it.
A moment later, Wang Yun pressed the play button, and a strange sound started playing. When the T4 combatant heard the sound, he had a puzzled look on his face. He was wondering what Wang Yun was up to. But a second later, the Pyro Company member suddenly lost consciousness and fell on his side while foaming at the mouth!
Wang Yun pried open the man’s eyelids and stood up after confirming he was really unconscious. He took a deep breath before turning around to leave the interrogation room.
“Sir.” His subordinate who was waiting outside looked at Wang Yun and realized his superior was smiling
The smile on his face grew wider and wider until Wang Yun could no longer hold it in. He started laughing as he walked out of the secret prison and headed straight for Kong Donghai’s official residence!
The contents of that hard drive turned out to be an audio file that could be used against the Pyro Company’s troops as well as some DNA information.
It was just like how the Pyro Company had controlled the tarantulas. They only dared to release the tarantulas into the wild because they had a “key” to control them. Likewise, the Pyro Company’s combatants were treated like tarantulas by their own organization’s higher-ups. They had deliberately been genetically modified so they could be controlled easily. This was to ensure they would never betray the Pyro Company.
Therefore, even though the Pyro Company had been mistreating those people at the bottom so harshly over the years, no one had defected yet. This was the crux of the matter. The Pyro Company had full control over their underlings’ lives!
However, there were also hidden dangers behind a stable rule like that. Once this document got leaked, the entire Pyro Company’s authority would crumble like a sandcastle.
When Wang Yun saw this document, he could not help but get excited. How could he not be?
The Pyro Company and the Kong Consortium were northern and southern neighbors. The tension between them had been going on for many years, and they both coveted the other’s resources.
And right now, it seemed like there was only death awaiting the Pyro Company.
However, this document should be a top secret of the Pyro Company. How did it end up getting stolen by Wang Wenyan?
Wang Yun thought hard, but electronic technology was not his expertise. He could not figure out what was going on at the moment and could only admit that Wang Wenyan was truly more capable than him.
When Wang Yun walked out of the secret prison, he stopped in his tracks. His subordinate asked, “Sir, what’s the matter?”
“Was it a coincidence that I stole this from Wang Wenyan’s hands, or did Wang Wenyan deliberately let it happen?” Wang Yun pondered.
His subordinate said, “I don’t think it’s a coincidence. If you weren’t around, there would be no one to stop him. Wang Wenyan can’t even be attacked by a sword after turning into a black mist, nor can bullets harm him any. No one could stop him after he stole the information, but it just so happened that he bumped into you.”
Wang Yun’s power was a natural counter to Wang Wenyan’s skill.
As such, even though it looked like Wang Wenyan had failed miserably, Wang Yun still felt that something was not right. Instead of stealing the information at a different time, Wang Wenyan had to do it right when Wang Yun was passing by.
Furthermore, the boss of the Anjing House was clearly in the Sacred Mountains as well, yet she did not retrieve the information Wang Yun had seized. The entire sequence of events even felt like it was just an act, albeit an unconvincing one.
“Sir, is there a problem?” his subordinate asked.
Wang Yun smiled. “No. Prepare the car and send me to Boss Kong Donghai’s mansion!”
Wang Yun had no choice but to act on his findings. He was already back at the Kong Consortium. If he could not produce anything of value, it would be difficult for him to walk out of the Kong Consortium alive once either of his competitors took over.
So no matter what conspiracy might be hidden behind this hard drive, Wang Yun had to continue moving forward!
Moreover, he was not planning to stay on forever with the Kong Consortium after his return this time. Wang Yun had other plans!
That night, news that shocked everyone in the Kong Consortium started spreading from Kong Donghai’s official residence. There was a change of candidates for the position of the intelligence agency’s director overnight. Kong Donghai seemed very happy and did not wait another three days to decide.
