Chapter 26
Underground Arena
In a small park in Shun City.
The four of them sat side by side on a bench.
Mo Xiu said, “This is a mission that I’m preparing to accept. What do you guys think? If it’s possible, we can take on this mission together. I think that multiple people can complete it.”
Mu Qingyi and Liu Ziyang both expressed that they had no problem with the mission after reading it.
However, Yue Yuan frowned and said, “My family has some influence in Shun City, so I’ve heard of this arena. The law enforcement team has gone through many encirclements and suppression, but the success rate is very low. Even if they succeed, they will continue holding gambling sessions the next day.”
Mo Xiu said, “Yue Yuan, just say what you want to say.”
Yue Yuan looked at Mo Xiu and said, “The organizer is definitely not simple. He might have some foundation in Shun City and even planted spies in the law enforcement team.”
Mu Qingyi interrupted, “Is it very troublesome?”
Yue Yuan said, “It’s a little troublesome. If I’m not wrong, the difficulty of this mission should not be just Rank-C. The person behind the arena must be extremely careful.”
Mo Xiu smiled and said, “I’ve thought of that too, but I’ve seen almost all the missions in Shun City and this is the most suitable one. This mission is indeed quite difficult, but what if we fight our way into the arena?”
Yue Yuan said, “Tell me more.”
Mo Xiu pointed at himself and said, “Do you guys think I look like I engage in illegal boxing?”
Liu Ziyang widened his eyes and said, “Boss, stop fooling around. You’re the top scholar of the college entrance examination. Although there’s no news of you now, who can’t find out about this?”
Meanwhile, Yue Yuan’s eyes lit up as he said, “Interesting. You’re the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but you’re from a poor family. You didn’t expose yourself for no reason after the college entrance examination and couldn’t benefit from the news. Thus, the possibility of you being suspected is very small. This plan is very interesting.”
Mo Xiu smiled and said, “That’s right.”
Mu Qingyi objected, “I don’t agree. This is too dangerous.”
Liu Ziyang and Yue Yuan looked at Mu Qingyi strangely. Was she feeling sorry for Mo Xiu? How many experts engaged in illegal boxing? After all, experts had their ways of making money. With Mo Xiu’s strength, he would definitely have no problems fitting in.
Mu Qingyi said angrily, “You’ve misunderstood what I said. I’m saying that Mo Xiu won’t be suspected, but we will be. When the time comes, only Mo Xiu will be able to infiltrate the arena, while the three of us can only provide support. If we’re discovered to be spies, it’ll be too dangerous.”
Only after Mu Qingyi said this did they react. That was right! It was indeed very dangerous for Mo Xiu to enter the enemy’s territory alone.
Mo Xiu said, “We can give it a try. I will give you guys an order based on the information I have.”
The three of them thought about how calm and mature Mo Xiu was. They felt that if they accepted this mission, this was the only way to succeed.
Mo Xiu looked at them and said seriously, “How is it? Is it decided?”
“Okay!” Liu Ziyang and Yue Yuan agreed immediately.
Mu Qingyi also agreed unwillingly.
Mo Xiu said to Yue Yuan, “Yue Yuan, your family is a local tyrant. Can you help me find a contact?”
“A contact?”
“Yes, we just need to get in touch with the middle and lower levels of the arena. We have to make sure that they don’t get suspicious.”
Yue Yuan pondered for a moment before saying, “No problem, I’ll get it done right away.”
Yue Yuan was an impatient person. After receiving the order, he immediately went to do it.
Meanwhile, Liu Ziyang pointed at himself and said, “Boss, what can I do?”
Mo Xiu thought about it and said, “You can contact the law enforcement team.”
Liu Ziyang asked, “The law enforcement team? What exactly should I do?”
Mo Xiu said, “Go to the law enforcement team and find two to three people who are relatively reliable. Tell them that they are currently on a mission and need their cooperation. Don’t tell them what exaclty we are doing and maintain communication with them. Once I have any news, inform them immediately.”
Liu Ziyang thought for a while and gave him a thumbs up. “Boss, you’re really something!”
Initially, Liu Ziyang wanted to chat for a while more, but when he saw Mo Xiu and Mu Qingyi exchanging glances, he instantly understood.
“Boss, I’ll do it now. I’ll let you know when I’m ready.”
Before he left, he gave Mo Xiu a knowing look.
Then, only Mu Qingyi and Mo Xiu were left. Mu Qingyi smiled at Mo Xiu.
“What about my mission?”
Mo Xiu said, “I thought you wouldn’t come this time. Why did your family agree to let you do your own thing?”
Mu Qingyi glanced at the direction Yue Yuan and Liu Ziyang had left in.
“It’s because of the two of them. My father said that the two of them were worth befriending. That’s why he let me go out.”
“Oh? Then can I ask you out in their name?”
“Huh?”
Mu Qingyi did not expect Mo Xiu to suddenly speak so explicitly and was slightly flustered.
“Stop fooling around. Let’s be serious. Did you not assign me a mission because you thought that I wouldn’t come?”
“Haha, on the contrary, your mission is the most important.”
Mu Qingyi asked doubtfully, “What’s my mission?”
“Help me, and… protect me!”
…
That afternoon, Mo Xiu came to a bar. As it was still early, there were not many people in the bar.
Mo Xiu ordered a lot of wine and drank alone.
“Young man, why are you drinking so much in broad daylight?”
Mo Xiu looked up. It was a man in his thirties. He walked to his table and sat down.
“Who are you? I don’t need you to care.”
The man didn’t get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, “I’m the boss of this shop. Everyone calls me Hei Zi. If there’s anything you don’t like, just tell me. It’ll be better if you tell me.”
Mo Xiu said shakily, “Let me tell you, I’m the top scholar of this year’s college entrance examination. However, I offended someone and the news was blocked. I should be earning money every day, but there’s nothing now. How f*cking unlucky!”
When Hei Zi heard Mo Xiu’s words, he immediately perked up and whispered, “Are you really the top scorer of the college entrance examination?”
Mo Xiu rolled his eyes and said, “Go away, go away. If you don’t believe me, why are you still talking to me?”
Hei Zi immediately pulled Mo Xiu and said, “Hey, brother, I don’t mean anything else. I just feel that the top scholar is too amazing. I have a job that can allow you to earn money. Are you willing to do it?”
Mo Xiu said casually, “What job is it? I won’t do it if you don’t offer me enough money!”
“Hey, be quiet. It will definitely provide a lot of money, so much that you can’t imagine the amount.”
Mo Xiu asked suspiciously, “What job is it? How much can I earn? I’ll be leaving Shun City after school starts.”
Hei Zi looked around and whispered, “It’s illegal boxing. With just one holiday, you can probably earn millions.”
Mo Xiu’s eyes lit up, but he didn’t say anything.
Hei Zi continued, “Don’t worry, we’re very good at keeping it a secret. It won’t be known by your university. You can consider it first. If you want to do it, come here tonight at 9.30 pm.”
Mo Xiu stood up and said, “Alright. Give me the bill!”
Hei Zi hurriedly refused and said, “Hey, Little Brother, you’re treating me like an outsider. I’ll treat you today, and you can come again next time.”
Mo Xiu staggered out of the bar and hailed a cab.
The moment he entered the cab, he took out his phone and sent Yue Yuan a message.
“Everything went smoothly!”
In reality, Hei Zi was Yue Yuan’s contact. Yue Yuan had spoken to him beforehand.
Everything that happened just now was a show that the two of them put on together, just in case.
After all, the boss behind the arena had eyes everywhere. Thus, they could not leave anything suspicious behind.
At this moment, Liu Ziyang also sent a message: “Boss, the matter has been settled. We will follow the arrangements.”
Meanwhile, Mo Xiu had arranged for Liu Ziyang to contact the law enforcement team so that he would have a shield. Regardless of whether he was captured or failed the mission, he could ensure his safety.
Now that everything was arranged, they were just waiting for the big fish to take the bait.
