Chapter 739 Mission
“Dear Grandpa Tian, we really don’t understand! There are so many national special forces, why do they need our help?” Chao Bufan said with a mischievous smile.
Old Tian coughed lightly, pretending not to notice their strange expressions, and said, "The higher-ups are very satisfied with your performance this time and have praised you highly, so they would like to ask you for this favor again."
“Dear Grandpa,” Ge Dawei delivered an important speech, “since it’s the order from above, we definitely have to help. As for the reward…”
"You can decide the compensation, but it can't be too outrageous," Old Tian quickly said.
“In that case, alright, Da Keng, you calculate how much reward we should get for this mission.” Chao Bufan said calmly, then gestured to Zhou Weihua, who readily handed over paper and pen to Wang Da Keng. “Da Keng, you handle it!”
Seeing that it wasn't his nephew who was settling accounts, Old Tian was secretly pleased, thinking that no one else would bring up a bunch of messy things.
Unexpectedly, Wang Dakeng wielded his pen rapidly, muttering incantations, each point clear and logical. A string of numbers flowed from his lips in one breath, listing outrageous expenses like the birth fees for cats and dogs, the upbringing costs for kittens and puppies, and even the fees for his extended family—he practically included the alimony for the neighbor, Wang Laowu.
"Stop!" Old Tian saw him wiping away sweat as he wrote a long string of astronomical numbers with a flick of his pen. What was even more terrifying was that he could also add up those numbers in his mind right away, which was no less than his "treasure" nephew. He hadn't expected him to be another oddball.
"Why did you call a halt?" Wang Dakeng looked at him innocently, his right hand still waving.
"What I mean is, the cost of cats and dogs is reasonable, but why are you dragging in all those distant relatives? Kid, isn't this a bit outrageous? How can you connect such irrelevant things?" Old Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Another math genius! These kids, who knows what other skills they have that he doesn't know about? As a result, his evaluation of these kids rose another notch.
"Oh! Dear Grandpa Tian, here's the thing! All our aunts and uncles are elderly people living alone without children. If something happens to us, who will take care of them? So, we have no choice, we're under immense pressure!" Wang Dakeng said, expressing his extreme helplessness.
"Alright, stop with the nonsense. Just give me a precise number," Old Man Tian said helplessly.
Wang Dakeng handed the paper to Old Tiantou, smiling broadly, and said, "Dear Grandpa Tiantou, please take a look. These are absolutely fair and reasonable figures."
Old Tian glanced at the final number, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. He cursed inwardly, "That brat is even more greedy than my nephew!" But he said calmly, "This number is really outrageous. I have to ask my superiors for instructions."
Chao Bufan smiled slyly and said, "I say, dear old Grandpa Tian, since this money isn't going to be paid by you, is it really necessary to ask for permission?"
"Nonsense," Old Tian said irritably, "It's precisely because it's not my personal money that I need to ask for permission. Do you think I can just have as much as I want?"
Chao Bufan shrugged and laughed, "Alright, dear old Grandpa Tian, you can take your time to ask your superiors. Let's go out for a stroll first, and we'll discuss the other details after the results come down, OK?"
With that, the eight little devils set off.
"Wait!" Old Tian quickly called out to them.
"Dear Grandpa, is there anything else?" Ge Dawei asked sincerely.
"Sit down, sit down!" Old Tian gave a helpless smile, though he really wished he could strangle them all to death. "Because this mission is urgent and special, I'll grant your request on behalf of the higher-ups."
“This…” Chao Bufan winked at Ge Dawei, who immediately put his plan into action. “Dear Grandpa, we’re family, so let’s not stand on ceremony. You know better than we do how dangerous this mission was, so the compensation we’re asking for is fair and reasonable. Since you’ve agreed on behalf of the higher-ups, I don’t care if it’s less, but my friends are another story. I’m sure you don’t want me to be ashamed in front of them for the rest of my life, right, Grandpa?”
Old Tian immediately gave Ge Dawei a sharp rap on the head. Having such a nephew was both a blessing and a curse. "You little rascal, you've gone too far! How dare you threaten your grandfather?"
"Ouch!" Ge Dawei cried out deliberately, pressing his hand on the "injured spot" as if in great pain. "Dear Grandpa, what are you saying? How dare your grandson threaten you! If the payment is less than expected, you can't expect them to ask me for it!"
"Alright, you little rascals, you're getting more and more outrageous. Fine, you won't be shortchanged by a single penny. If you are, I'll pay you out of my own pocket. Is that alright?" Old Tian was at a loss for words when faced with these "troublemakers." He could swear to God that no one had ever dared to "show off" in front of him except for these kids.
“Dear Grandpa Tian, why didn’t you just agree earlier? Why did you have to do it this way!” Chao Bufan said with a frivolous smile.
"Sigh!" Old Tian sighed softly. He was getting old! He'd been manipulated by a few young brats. Truly, new talents emerge in every generation, replacing the old! "Alright, let's get down to business!"
Chao Bufan and the others immediately "returned to the team" and put on serious expressions.
"This is Demon Wolf's personal information, as well as relevant information about his money laundering and drug trafficking organization. Take a look." Old Tian picked up the remote control on the table, turned on the conference room computer, and the screen immediately displayed information about Demon Wolf and his criminal organization.
"Chinese?" Wang Dakeng was slightly surprised.
"That's right, this guy nicknamed 'Demon Wolf' is indeed Chinese. He learned martial arts at Shaolin Temple when he was young, and later moved to Manhattan, USA. In less than three months, he used his invincible strength to integrate all the underworld forces in Manhattan and established the 'Demon Wolf' gang, a huge criminal organization with himself as its leader. It then became one of the three major criminal organizations in the United States, and Demon Wolf naturally became the boss of this gang called 'Demon Wolf'." Old Tian's few words briefly revealed Demon Wolf's "great achievements".
