Chapter 599: Professional Con Artists

Seeing these armed personnel suddenly appear, the hair on Spencer's entire body stood on end.

His eyes darted around, as if he were planning to run away at any moment.

However, Nathan felt relieved at this moment; it seemed this mysterious person before them truly had no intention of finishing them off.

Otherwise, there would be no need to go to such great lengths to talk nonsense with them here.

"So, you are here representing Mr. Pearson?" Nathan recalled the sequence of events; even as arrogant as he was, he had to admit that he seemed to have truly been played by someone.

Chen Jiajun waved his hand casually, and those of the Ghost Squad retreated into the shadows.

Then Chen Jiajun said to these few people: "I'll give you a chance! I don't care what method you use, get the blueprints for me, and then make Dubonrich's life miserable. If you succeed, I can choose not to hold you accountable, and I can even help you handle the wanted status from the police!"

Spencer said unhappily: "We don't need your help to get rid of those police, why should we do this kind of thing?"

Chen Jiajun suddenly laughed, laughing quite brazenly: "You seem to have missed the point. My point is not 'being wanted by the police,' but 'not holding you accountable'!"

"Eliot Spencer, former member of the United States Navy SEALs, once a striker for the world's number one mercenary group, I know you are very capable!"

"But a person can be proud, yet they must recognize reality!"

Spencer's face was full of humiliation, but that faint, lingering sense of danger made him not dare to gamble at all.

Chen Jiajun threw a business card to Nathan and said indifferently: "Ten days, I only give you ten days!"

After speaking, Chen Jiajun sat directly into his luxury car and left the factory building.

Hearing the police sirens coming from afar, the group had no choice but to leave this godforsaken place first.

Hardison took the group of wanted individuals and hid in a house he had purchased.

Then he opened his computer and began to search.

Sure enough, they soon saw news of Pearson Aviation accepting a media interview on the computer.

There were also the wanted posters of several people, hanging brightly on the television.

Spencer's temper flared even more: "So that means we didn't help someone recover a design?"

Parker said in a listless tone: "Yes, we helped someone steal a design!"

"Why did Dubonrich lie to us?" Hardison was a bit confused.

As long as he paid enough money, people like them would still do this job; there was simply no need to make it so complicated.

Nathan sneered and said: "Because you are thieves! If he had come to you directly to steal it, it would show that he wasn't a good person either, and you would have become suspicious. But through this method, he is just an ordinary person seeking revenge! So you didn't anticipate that he would be one move ahead!"

Parker frowned and asked: "Then why didn't you anticipate it?"

You have to know that Nathan Ford had dealt with them quite a bit, and had even traded blows with several of them.

Knowing how difficult this guy Nathan was, the fact that this Dubonrich had managed to fool even him was something these few people hadn't expected.

"Because I am not a thief!" Nathan said indifferently.

"Maybe that's exactly why!" Hearing Nathan's sarcasm, Spencer immediately wanted to punch someone.

At this time, Hardison stepped in to smooth things over: "If you want to leave, I can help you forge identities and buy plane tickets to other countries! That is very simple for me!"

Nathan shook his head and said: "Don't you forget about that Oriental man!"

"Who exactly is that person?" Parker asked with her arms crossed: "He looks very dangerous!"

Spencer sneered and said: "Not just 'very' dangerous, you know? I finally remembered who this guy is! The behind-the-scenes boss of the world's current number one mercenary group, Guojun Security Company! The behind-the-scenes boss of the world's largest private information organization, the 'Shadow People'! The financial backer behind the San Francisco gang, the Huaqing Gang!"

"A multinational corporation boss with a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars, a member of the California Consortium. A giant of the underground world who dared to threaten the assassin organization High Table, making them not dare to move! The 'Hong Kong King', Chen Jiajun!"

"Hiss!" Hearing the string of titles for Chen Jiajun, Hardison couldn't help but gasp: "Are we dead?"

Nathan nodded and said: "So, we have no choice at all! Therefore, I have an idea!"

The group still admired Nathan's clever brain and his solid reputation in the underworld, so they fixed their eyes on him.

"Since we have no choice, we might as well pull off a big one!" Nathan looked at the group and said: "Not only can we get out of danger, but we can also take the opportunity to vent our anger!"

"How do we do it?" Spencer frowned and said.

Nathan sneered and said: "Since this guy Dubonrich cares so much about his stock price, and the shareholders' meeting is coming up soon, we cannot give him a chance to catch his breath!"

Spencer said to Nathan: "So you want to play him?"

Nathan didn't answer, but just said to the group: "Why do you think I was able to recover those stolen items in the past? This guy is greedy and arrogant!"

Parker suddenly laughed: "He thought he had gotten rid of us just like that!"

Hardison also laughed along: "Let's give him a surprise!"

"But there is a problem, Dubonrich knows every one of us, every single one! We cannot appear in front of him again!" Spencer raised a key issue.

Since he raised this question, it meant that his attitude had already softened.

Although he was very unhappy about being threatened by Chen Jiajun, working with Nathan and the others was indeed a pleasant thing.

It was much more comfortable than him working alone.

It felt like returning to over a decade ago, the way he would charge recklessly on the battlefield with his comrades.

Nathan smiled and said: "Let's go find Sophie!"

In an opera house in San Francisco.

There were very few audience members in the seats, and the actors on stage were performing with all their might.

But to be honest, the female lead on stage was performing very poorly, at the same level as those stage plays performed by middle school students.

It was so bad that it was unbearable to watch.

Even quite a few audience members had already fallen asleep in their seats, with long trails of drool.

Nathan brought the three of them over, and their eyes all widened, as if they had seen something terrifying.

Hardison couldn't help but complain: "The acting is really terrible!"

"Is she disabled?" Parker's remark was even sharper: "Brain-damaged?"

Spencer's face twitched: "Seriously, I have never seen a worse actor!"

"Hahaha, it's just that the stage was chosen poorly!" Neisen said with a smile.

Clearly, Neisen was an old acquaintance of the woman performing on stage, whose name was Sophie Devereaux.

Her background was mysterious, but she was a professional con artist; it was even possible that her name was fake.

However, Neisen had been entangled with this woman for many years, and both sides had had their wins and losses.

It could be said that they were in a state of being both enemies and friends.

Seeing that the performance was about to end, Neisen took a few people to the back alley to wait for someone.

A moment later, Sophie, dressed in professional attire, walked over.

Sophie was very beautiful, and one could not connect her at all to the woman with the exaggerated acting on stage just now.

Seeing Sophie come out, Neisen clapped insincerely: "Your acting was superb!"

Sophie said to Neisen elegantly: "You are the only one who appreciates me!" "Long time no see, are you still in your old line of work?" Neisen asked.

Sophie blinked and said: "I am a law-abiding citizen now, I follow the rules!"

"Too bad I'm not!" Neisen stared at Sophie and said.

Sophie seemed somewhat surprised: "You've started doing my line of work?"

Neisen just smiled faintly, but did not deny it.

Sophie glanced at the few people behind Neisen, and a curve appeared at the corner of her mouth: "I always felt you were the type for this line of work."

Neisen, however, felt a bit embarrassed under Sophie's gaze, and said with a stutter: "Do, do you want to join?"

"How could I miss a good role?" Sophie said with a smile.

Facing Sophie's burning gaze, Neisen turned his head somewhat embarrassedly and said to the group: "Alright everyone, let's go commit some crimes! Just this once, and never again!"

This self-deceiving statement made the smile on Sophie's face even brighter.

She sat directly in the passenger seat next to Neisen, then waited for Neisen to explain the details of this mission to her.

For this kind of risky business, Neisen naturally had to make things clear first.

After all, this kind of thing could not be forced.

However, after listening, Sophie had no intention of backing down; instead, she became even more interested: "That Mr. Chen Jiajun you mentioned, I think I've met him!"

"Hm? You've met him?" Neisen was somewhat surprised.

"Ten years ago, in Hong Kong!" Sophie recalled: "At that time, he was still a gangster!"

The group immediately began asking Sophie about Chen Jiajun's background; they were extremely curious about the mysterious Chen Jiajun.

After all, his dominance was truly impressive.

Although they had heard a brief introduction from Spencer earlier, they felt their understanding of Chen Jiajun was still insufficient.

After all, this was a big shot who could control their fate.

Returning to Hudson's home, Neisen had to interrupt their idle chatter: "Alright guys, let's talk about business first!"

Hudson nodded and opened the huge screen in the living room, where various files on Dubenrich appeared.

"Victor Dubenrich, Executive Deputy General Manager of Bering Airlines, in charge of technical research and development. Wealthy, has a trust fund, Yale University MBA, and so on..."

Hudson briefly introduced Dubenrich's background: "Bering Airlines undertakes huge government contracts, as well as some projects for the Department of Defense; anyway, they are all highly classified!"

Parker asked directly: "Can we use this to our advantage?"

"I'm afraid not!" Hudson shook his head and said: "Dubenrich runs a commercial airline..."

At this moment, Neisen suddenly spoke up: "According to industry rules, shouldn't you have made a copy when you sent the design drawings to Dubenrich back then?"

Hudson immediately said righteously: "I absolutely did not make a copy; that would violate professional ethics!"

Neisen knew without thinking that this was nonsense, and said directly: "Just show me the copy you made!"

Hudson was exposed and immediately said helplessly: "Do you really have to expose me?"

As he spoke, he picked up the remote and played the copied data.

Neisen looked at the data and spoke eloquently: "This is a domestic short-range passenger plane, the flight range is usually one hour, and it is the best model currently available. High-tech, energy-efficient, the front section is a carbon fiber structure, and the fuselage is made of three-to-one titanium alloy."

Seeing Neisen able to say so much just from the airplane blueprints, everyone looked at him in shock.

Neisen spread his hands and said: "We can always learn bits and pieces of knowledge inadvertently!"

"Buddy, the knowledge you've learned is more than just a little bit!" Hudson retorted.

Subsequently, Hudson introduced the feud between Dubenrich and Pearson: "They have been in direct confrontation for five years, fighting to be the leader of the aviation industry for a profit of about 11 billion dollars!"

Parker nodded and said: "So, Pearson took the lead, and Dubenrich wants to take a shortcut!"

"Then he's met his match!" Neisen said: "And a match that makes him fly into a rage; that's why he hired us to steal the design sketches, but this isn't bad either!"

Hearing Neisen's words, Sophie smiled and said: "What idea did you come up with? Neisen?"

"I thought of the Nigerians!" Neisen said with a smile: "That's right, the Nigerians will be a big help!"

That's right, a plan quickly formed in Neisen's mind.

And as the only one among the group who could show their face in front of Dubenrich, it had to be Sophie, the professional con artist.

Now it was a professional con artist against Dubenrich, the amateur con artist!...

The next day, Sophie arrived at Bering Airlines, intending to meet Dubenrich.

Under the guise of the African Commercial Transport and Trade Promotion Association, she went straight to the outside of Dubenrich's office.

Of course, Sophie certainly wouldn't use her real name, but instead used the fake name Anna.

Then she used the temptation of a huge order to set a trap for Dubenrich.

It must be said that a professional con artist's psychological endurance is extremely strong, and unlike her performance on stage, she appeared extremely professional.

Then she took Dubenrich directly out of the company, intending to go out and chat.

And while Dubenrich was away, Hudson hacked into the computer of Dubenrich's Secretary, then had Spencer attract the female Secretary's attention, and sent Parker to sneak into Dubenrich's office to install a bug.

As for Sophie's side, she used Neisen's professional knowledge to talk nonsense with Dubenrich.

With Neisen's professional knowledge provided, Sophie acted without the slightest flaw and invited Dubonrich to attend the meeting with the Nigerian representatives.

Dubonrich was indeed tempted; doing so would not only bring huge orders to Bering Airlines but also allow him to make a significant splash internationally.

However, Dubonrich was also very cunning; even though things had reached this point, he still acted indifferent.

Sophie seized the opportunity and said indifferently, "I can understand that, then I will go find Pearson Aviation instead!"

Hearing this name, Dubonrich immediately became displeased: "Pearson? I mean, Pearson is a great company! That's right, you can go, but I don't think they can help either!"

Sophie appropriately provoked Dubonrich: "But they possess the strategic vision for long-term investment, while you do not! They are innovators, perhaps... it is more suitable to cooperate with them."

"I have noticed that you are trying to manipulate me, Anna!" Although Dubonrich was conflicted, he quickly saw through Sophie's intentions.

But Sophie did not care and said in a bewitching tone: "I wish I were! Hundreds of millions of dollars rolling in along with orders, plus positive media coverage for martial arts. You only need to nod your head!"

Dubonrich was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and said: "Fine, I compromise, I will attend the meeting!"

As he spoke, Dubonrich reached out his hand.

But Sophie had no intention of shaking his hand, and she said to Dubonrich with great charm: "I will call your office."

"What? Alright!" Dubonrich was clearly very pleased.

"How about the day after tomorrow?" Sophie asked as she walked away.

Dubonrich nodded: "No problem, I look forward to it!"

Hearing that Dubonrich had taken the bait, Neisen and Hudson, who were manipulating things from behind the scenes, excitedly high-fived.

Even if Neisen was unwilling to admit it, he was exceptionally excited to see a scoundrel like Dubonrich take the bait! (End of this chapter)
