Chapter 40: Borrowing Someone

I have to admit that Yang Chi really hadn't considered this. However, he understood that the method Zhou Hu suggested was feasible. Putting aside whether the world of Dead by Daylight can make those professionally trained spies bow their heads, the doctor's electrotherapy room he had just acquired serves as a perfect interrogation room. It's conceivable that if I really take on this kind of business, I won't have to worry about extracting secrets from spies. As for whether it's illegal or not, Yang Chi doesn't really care.

Although I like to do things according to the rules, I'm not someone who strictly adheres to them. Iron Fort Prison is currently strapped for funds, so as long as it does not violate prison laws and harm national interests, it will be fine. Thinking of this, Yang Chi looked at Zhou Hu. "This method is good, but how do we get business in this area?" Hearing Yang Chi ask this, Zhou Hu felt relieved. It seemed that his boss did not dislike this kind of thing. After thinking for a while, Zhou Hu made a suggestion.

"Boss, considering the surveillance of the Sloka Group, I suggest that you should cooperate with the country's special department to conduct this business. Although the reward may not be a lot, the advantage is safety, and no one will bother you. If you trust me, I can use my previous channels to help you secure this type of business." "Do you have channels?" Yang Chi was shocked to hear Zhou Hu's words. But seeing the faint smile on Zhou Hu's face, Yang Chi remembered that Zhou Hu had been a spy before going to prison and was the head of the dark web intelligence department, so he naturally had the corresponding channels. Upon thinking of this, Yang Chi nodded. "Okay, I'll trouble you. If you need anything, just tell Wang Lide. We urgently need funds now." "Understood, boss."

Yang Chi and Zhou Hu talked over the prison's revenue concerns. Meanwhile, on the other side at the Sloka Group branch, Hao Ziqiang was furious in his office. The secretary watched in horror as the once tidy and clean office was smashed to pieces. After following Hao Ziqiang for so many years, he had never seen him so angry. Finally, after venting his anger, Hao Ziqiang fell wearily into his chair, pressing his fingers tightly between his eyebrows.

Not long ago, Yan Ji prosecuted him for illegally interfering with the investigation team and conducting an illegal investigation of the prison. Although these two charges were not serious and were easily resolved by the Sloka Group's legal team, the matter was brought to the attention of the top management of the Sloka Group. The Sloka Group was very dissatisfied with his performance. From the group's point of view, not only did they fail to completely overthrow Iron Castle Prison, but they also offended high-level officials of the Human Alliance like Yan Ji. Both sides were unhappy.

As a result, the group issued a stern warning. If he caused trouble again, he wouldn't be able to keep his current position, let alone his position as CEO of Xuandao City.

Thinking of this, Hao Ziqiang felt angry. In his opinion, what could he do? The old guy Yan Gui obviously sided with Yang Chi, and coupled with Zhou Hu's betrayal, Hao Ziqiang had already tried his best. But the senior management of the company would not care about these things. The Sloka Group had always focused solely on results and not the process. No matter how dirty or unconscionable the methods were, as long as one could gain benefits for the company, that person was deemed capable.

Thinking of this, Hao Ziqiang couldn't help but grit his teeth. What should he do? Although Hao Ziqiang was willing to voice his frustrations, he had to admit an unavoidable fact. Judging from the current management situation of Iron Fort Prison, it would definitely get better in the future. The chances of acquiring the land of Iron Fort Prison were already very slim.

Taking a deep breath, Hao Ziqiang looked at the mobile phone on the table. He picked it up, clicked on the address book, and found a phone number. Just as he was about to dial it, his hand suddenly stopped. If someone could see his face at that moment, they would notice how torn his expression appeared. To be honest, without any other options available, Hao Ziqiang had no choice but to seek external support.

With this realization, Hao Ziqiang took a deep breath and dialed the number. Several beeps sounded before a somewhat cold voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, brother, it's me, Ziqiang," he said.

"What's the matter?" the voice on the other end remained indifferent.

"I...I want to borrow someone from you."

"Who to borrow?"

"Sima Yuan."

As the name Sima Yuan was mentioned, there was a brief silence on the other side of the phone. Soon the voice replied with a single word.

"Good."

Although it was just one word, it made Hao Ziqiang breathe a sigh of relief. "Brother, please hurry up, I have something urgent here."

After quickly saying this, Hao Ziqiang was about to add something else, but realized the call had been disconnected. Staring at his phone with a complicated look, he finally let out a long sigh. A familiar but somewhat vague figure came to mind. Once, in youth, he had naively thought that joining the Sloka Group would allow him to catch up with his elder brother. But now Hao Ziqiang understood how immature he still was compared to him. Even if he became the CEO of the Sloka Group in Xuandao City, he knew he was still far behind his brother.

Taking another deep breath, Hao Ziqiang tried to throw these negative thoughts out of his mind. He resolved to focus on the key task ahead: defeating Iron Castle Prison. He must become the CEO of Xuandao City! Perhaps this way, he could finally stand confidently in front of his brother.
