#432 - Chapter 432: Hidden Meaning
“Does this person possess some important secret? Enough to make you expend so much effort to rescue him.....”
Faced with the question posed by Wu Wei, Shi Renjun was initially quite annoyed.
After all, in his view, anyone with a normal intellect shouldn't say such a thing.
He had put in so much effort; how could this person not be important?
However, Shi Renjun quickly understood.
Wu Wei was actually reminding him of something.
That is, whether his method of achieving his goal was too cumbersome.
Since he had already torn off the mask of hypocrisy, he shouldn't use such a hypocritical way to explain the mission objective to Wu Wei.
So....
“There are indeed secrets.”
“In fact, the only reason I plan to save him is for the secret he holds!”
Shi Renjun said.
And Wu Wei nodded, continuing to say.
“Then I need to know, is this secret he possesses one that he controls and needs to keep, or some other type of secret?”
“If it's a secret he needs to keep, then you don't need me to rescue him and hand him over to you at all.”
“Once I get to that area, I can just kill him.”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, Shi Renjun quickly stopped Wu Wei's dangerous idea.
“No, no, no!”
“This guy's secret has nothing to do with me; it doesn't belong to those secrets he needs to keep.”
“The reason I need the secret he holds is because the information he knows likely involves the other two families, and my younger brother, the Second Prince.”
“If I can find out from him whether these secrets are true, then I can gain the upper hand in many aspects!”
“So....”
“If possible, I need you to bring him out alive.”
“Of course, Wu Wei....”
The expression on Shi Renjun's face changed, becoming somewhat serious.
“If, during your rescue of him, you encounter obstruction from other forces, such as those belonging to my younger brother, the Second Prince, then you don't have to bring him to me alive.”
“Because I understand that doing so is too difficult.”
“So, after you return to the Lord Era, I will give you a special soul container.”
“If you encounter obstruction from other forces and cannot bring him back alive, you can kill him and seal his soul into this soul container.”
“This way, the mission becomes much simpler.”
“But in any case, you must do your best on this mission.”
“Because this person named Xu Jie is not a big figure; he is not important.”
“But he is very likely to become the seed of destruction for two families.”
“So you must be careful....”
Wu Wei nodded.
Then, he took this information into his possession.
“Then...”
Before Wu Wei could speak, Prince Shi Renjun spoke first.
“You don't need to worry about the compensation.”
“After you complete this mission, you can come to me and ask for whatever you want.”
“Whether it's resource points, weapons, equipment, or world coordinates.”
“I can offer anything you want.”
“Oh? That sounds very good.”
Wu Wei said with a smile.
He loves working with rich people!
Especially the kind who doesn't even care about the amount of money!
“But, Wu Wei, I must remind you.”
“No need to remind me....”
Wu Wei smiled.
Then he said.
“If something goes wrong, I won't tell anyone about you.”
“Of course, I also believe that even if I did, no one would believe me.”
“Right?”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, Shi Renjun was also stunned.
“That's very right....”
“Although you don't quite understand the politics of the empire, in some ways, you are very much in tune with the political ecology of the empire!”
After speaking, Shi Renjun patted Wu Wei on the shoulder.
“Alright, in that case, I look forward to your good news.”
“My coordinates and contact information are already in that map intelligence; you can decrypt it after you return to the Lord Era.”
Wu Wei nodded, preparing to leave the room.
But at this moment, Wu Wei suddenly realized a new problem....
He turned his head and said to Shi Renjun:
