Chapter 807: Sell Out

Dai Chengliang was feeling smug, having once again seen through Lin Shiyi's probe, when his good friend Sun Dang arrived.

"Don't see him! Tell him I won't see him! I said we absolutely won't attend any gatherings anymore, not even a two-person gathering!"

"Sun Dang is worse off than me; could he possibly not know how to avoid suspicion?"

When the butler reported that Sun Dang had come to see him, Dai Chengliang said with a solemn expression.

The butler looked at Dai Chengliang, somewhat speechless.

Since Young Master Dai went out on a trip and returned, he's become completely different.

Staying indoors and keeping to himself is one thing, but he doesn't even do bad deeds anymore!?

Before, he was either trying to drag some female celebrity into scandal or figuring out how to deal with someone who didn't know his place.

Nowadays, he stays home all day, like an ascetic monk.

What's more strange, he even likes to whip himself with a whip.

"Young Master, Sun Dang says he has something major to discuss with you."

The butler reminded him.

Dai Chengliang fell silent for a moment, then said: "Let him in! Also, don't close the door; keep the living room's main door open, so people won't think I'm discussing something shady with Sun Dang."

"Okay!"

After the butler agreed, he immediately turned and left.

Soon after, a somewhat nervous Sun Dang walked into the living room.

"Brother!"

Upon seeing Dai Chengliang, Sun Dang called out tearfully.

Dai Chengliang quickly said: "Brother, don't call me like that; our relationship… actually isn't close."

Seeing Dai Chengliang say that, Sun Dang's tears flowed: "Brother, I never expected you to be like me; I've discovered my psychology has a problem."

Even when he locks himself in a small room at home, he always feels those little demons are watching him from nearby.

"I've gone mad; I haven't touched a woman in days, because I discovered… I… uh…!"

Sun Dang finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

Seeing Dai Chengliang, Sun Dang's pent-up frustration suddenly poured out.

Dai Chengliang froze.

Sun Dang is actually even more ill than I am!

Dai Chengliang and Sun Dang aren't fools; they certainly understand that their current behavior and thoughts are actually a kind of pathology.

But they just can't control it.

"I'm the same……"

Dai Chengliang sighed helplessly and muttered.

After a long while, Sun Dang finally stopped crying.

After wiping away several tears, Sun Dang gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, we can't keep going like this! We must change, we definitely must change!"

"Otherwise, we'll be ruined."

"How to change?" Dai Chengliang asked: "Should we see a psychologist?"

Sun Dang shook his head: "I've been to see one; it was useless."

Next, Sun Dang glanced at the butler standing by the door.

The butler smiled and left, sensing the mood.

"Brother, could your butler have been bribed by those little demons?"

Sun Dang asked, frowning.

Dai Chengliang blinked, then shook his head: "No way! Old Wang is absolutely trustworthy. Jeez, I say you're really messed up—just speak up if you have something to say!"

Sun Dang gritted his teeth: "The only thing that can cure our psychological illness is power; only by us having greater power, capturing those little demons and torturing them a hundredfold, can we resolve our psychological illness."

"Otherwise, we won't be happy for the rest of our lives; we might as well die."

"That makes sense!"

Dai Chengliang furrowed his brow, chin in hand, looking thoughtful.

Sun Dang added: "I came to see you this time precisely for this matter. The situation is……"

Sun Dang leaned in to Dai Chengliang's ear and whispered for a moment.

"Good!"

After Sun Dang finished speaking, Dai Chengliang immediately nodded.

……

More than half an hour later.

"Hey~"

Dai Chengliang spoke carefully into the phone.

"Dai Chengliang!"

From the phone came a child's voice.

Dai Chengliang laughed and said: "It's me! Brother Eleven, I have a major matter to report to you!"

"What matter?"

Lin Shiyi asked.

Dai Chengliang said: "Today Sun Dang came to see me; this kid actually tried to rope me into donating money for an exploration plan, just opening his mouth with a demand of one hundred million dollars."

"I pretended to agree to him……"

"Get to the point!"

Lin Shi Yi said lightly.

"Alright!"

Dai Chengliang continued: "It's a certain company from Mi Guo that, from the data, located a World War II wreck. And that ship carried a huge mummy.

Back then, those scientists said it was a prehistoric giant, or a mutant.

Now they think it's actually a pure‑blood Witch Tribe person; if the ship can be salvaged, perhaps we could obtain a better something, some foundation, to create a more perfect Enhancement Agent.

Of course, the matter is full of uncertainty…"

"How confident are you of finding it?"

After Dai Chengliang finished, Lin Shi Yi asked.

Dai Chengliang said: "I think, this isn't very reliable; it's been underwater for so many years, maybe the fish have already eaten it. A hundred million dollars—why haven't they rushed to seize it?"

"The company over in Mi Guo…"

Lin Shi Yi murmured: "Why would they come to you?"

Dai Chengliang quickly explained: "Because we like to have fun; circles like ours are actually huge. We gather to cruise, dive, climb, do extreme sports… In short, whatever is thrilling and fresh, we do it.

We've been to many places in Feizhou: the great savanna, deserts, snow‑capped mountains, underground caverns, volcanoes…

This time the investment is larger, after all we're pulling things from the sea; whether we can find it is another matter.

If we find it, the equipment, personnel, and all the assorted costs add up to a huge expense, not to mention the later development costs for the Enhancement Agent.

Of course, if we really retrieve it, we could sell it for a sky‑high price.

But that doesn't align with the principle of maximum benefit…

After Dai Chengliang finished, Lin Shi Yi said lightly: "Inviting you to invest isn't just sharing risk; it also serves to win you over, right?"

"After all, your status isn't ordinary; now it's not just various Guo Jias, even private companies have joined in."

"Going forward, the Enhancement Agent will be a huge business; even selling it at ten thousand dollars a dose yields massive profit!"

"Uh~"

Dai Chengliang was startled, then said quickly: "Brother Shi Yi, you're absolutely right! Not a bit wrong—compared to your wisdom, we're like sparrows to a phoenix."

"I understand."

Lin Shi Yi said lightly.

Dai Chengliang carefully added: "Brother Shi Yi, I swear I reported this to you the moment I learned of it."

Lin Shi Yi gave a "mm" and then hung up.

"Huh~"

Listening to the busy tone from the phone, Dai Chengliang let out a sigh.

After Sun Dang left, he hesitated for a while.

But in the end, his fear of Lin Shi Yi and the other 'little devils' outweighed the 'friendship' he had with Sun Dang and the others.

Then, he sold Sun Dang and the others out.

A dead fellow cultivator is not a dead humble cultivator!

None of the people in the Rat Gang are loyal.
