Chapter 544: Why Not Rob a Bank

He just couldn’t figure out where Qiao Nian got these confidential records from.

This wasn’t easy to get on hand.

If it really was easy, the Wei Family could have found out much earlier and eradicated all evidence.

Ye w.a.n.gchuan squinted and turned towards her slightly. He was still calm, apparently not at all surprised that Qiao Nian managed to get this stuff.

He remembered that Qiao Nian seemed to have some contact with the Red Alliance. But he hadn’t figured out the depth of the relations.h.i.+p.

He knew that, but Gu San did not. Gu San only knew that Qiao Nian was medically skilled and had sold a coveted drug on the black market.

Gu San scratched his head and verbalized the question that had been on his mind. “Miss Qiao, do you know a very skilled hacker or something?”

This was definitely obtained by a hacker, not an ordinary person.

He asked her so intently, there was no way Qiao Nian could evade his question.

She wasn’t fl.u.s.tered or anxious in any way. In fact, she looked confident as she said, “Oh, that. I bought it.”

“Bought it?” Gu San was confused.

Ye w.a.n.gchuan also raised his brow, completely speechless.

Gu San then asked, “Where from?”

“No, wait, you can buy this stuff? Who sells them?”

With two pairs of eyes on her all of a sudden, Qiao Nian still managed to keep her composure. Her dark eyes were still. She took a chewing gum bottle out of her bag and, in front of Gu San, took a white pill out and ate it.

She then responded indifferently, “The Red Alliance.”

Gu San watched how she just casually swallowed a pill that was now impossible to get hold of even on the black market. He could barely react.

He then heard her mention the Red Alliance, and his mind went blank. It stopped processing for a moment.

“Miss Qiao, you bought Wei Qi’s transaction records from the Red Alliance?”

Qiao Nian chewed on the pill, but her face was still slightly pale. Her fair skin appeared almost translucent at this point, and her lips were also rather colorless. She leaned back in her seat with her hand on her stomach. Given how casual her postures usually were, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary that she was just resting her hand there.

“Yes.”

“… So it really is the Red Alliance.”

Gu San drew a sharp breath when he heard her confirmation. He intuitively turned to look at the man sitting behind him and asked a little dejectedly, “Master w.a.n.g, why did the Red Alliance ignore us? Did we not give them enough money?”

Ye w.a.n.gchuan had also gotten the Red Alliance to investigate some illegal goods, but they hadn’t taken up the job.

They had thought that the Red Alliance had certain regulations and did not want to take up anything that involved illegal business. But now it seemed like… they probably just had not offered them enough?

Gu San wasn’t surprised that Qiao Nian knew of the Red Alliance’s existence. After all, the Red Alliance had a strong presence in both the legal and illegal businesses. Since Qiao Nian was able to sell her pills in the black market, she surely knew some friends who belonged in the “grey area” and had channels to request for a mission to the Red Alliance. But he hadn’t expected the Red Alliance to take up a job like hers, which was so “trivial”.

After all, getting the Red Alliance to investigate someone like Wei Qi was a bit of an overkill.

He was thinking about this while driving, and he couldn’t stop going on about their request. “We did give them a good offer just to check something out. It’s an eight-figure sum, is that not enough? Why don’t they rob a bank instead?”

Qiao Nian leaned back and thought about how she had gotten them to buy Uncle Chen some rare goods in the past. They had topped up the amount about seven to eight times, and the eventual amount was a nine-figure sum. Slim Waist Control had scolded them the same way.

Why don’t they rob a bank instead?

Gee.

She almost retorted in the same way Daji did back then: [It’s much faster robbing a big boss than robbing a bank, and you don’t have to serve time for that.]

This was such an appropriate time to make this statement!
