Chapter 17 - 17. Vulnerability (New Book Seeking Readers and Favorites)

Bobby's boss has fallen.

Next, the Special Operations Department will certainly undergo a series of purges, and the remaining three team leaders will unhesitatingly devour the power dispersed by Moore.

Bobby, as Moore's confidant personally promoted, is not going to have an easy time.

The better outcome is being pushed out, isolated, or demoted.

The worse... tsk tsk tsk.

He's afraid his little life won't be safe.

What Bobby wants to do now is immediately cling to a big leg.

Looking at the entire faction now, who would be willing to accept the subordinate of a traitor?

Only this pretty boy in front of him.

The opposite is holding An Nishang's thigh, as long as Bobby clings to Chen Che's leg, and Chen Che speaks a few good words for him in bed, Bobby would suffer less.

Chen Che naturally understood Bobby's intentions.

He wanted him to speak in his favor.

Damn, why is it so strange?... Canned meat with pancakes, eaten clean.

Although not as tasty as homemade, this kind of genetically unpolluted pork is indeed hard to come by.

Seeing Chen Che finish eating, Bobby immediately offered a cigarette, his eyes flickering with distress, as it was a precious type of cigarette that even he was reluctant to smoke.

Not only does it stimulate the nervous system, but it also sharpens and enhances focus.

This cigarette is worth 100 Beta, the equivalent of half a month's rations for an ordinary family.

Accepting Bobby's ingratiating offer of a smoke, smoking, Chen Che leaned against the seat, nodded, and said, "Bobby, you are a smart person."

"I like to raise dogs; I don't ask for them to be smart enough to do a lot for me, but I ask for loyalty and enough muscle to tear off a piece of flesh when I command them to bite.

I will reward them with bones covered in meat."

Chen Che smiled at Bobby, "Bobby, what do you think of my way of raising dogs? Can it raise a loyal dog?"

Bobby's eyes twinkled, "As long as the master is strong, and following the master gives meat to eat, soup to drink, and bones to gnaw, it is impossible for the raised dog not to be loyal to its master."

Chen Che nodded with satisfaction; at least this aspect was something he could understand.

In this dog-eat-dog world, having no trustworthy subordinates is absolutely impossible.

He needs fierce dogs, and Bobby needs someone to protect his master.

The two hit it off instantly.

However, neither side completely trusts the other, Bobby may be a bit foolish, but not to the point of being willing to give his all for just two words from Chen Che.

Bobby now belongs to the tethered category, with Chen Che holding the leash.

But this doesn't mean Bobby won't turn back and bite him.

The master is training the hunting dog, and the hunting dog is testing the master.

They simply have their first connection.

As for trust, relationships... those have to be developed slowly.

Chen Che closed his eyes and meditated, "Wake me when we arrive."

Bobby nodded submissively.

Chen Che was thinking.

Though he narrowly escaped a deadly ordeal again, Chen Che knew that in this world, without sufficient contemplation, he might not even know how he would die the next day.

If not for just completing a task and acquiring the [Candy of Listening to the Heart], it wouldn't have been that easy today.

The biggest flaw among them was his money...

Damn it.

Where the hell did such a large sum of money go?

The money he earned through various businesses, along with the vast funds from the Tasting Commerce Association, how could they have disappeared without a trace when he was unconscious?

Yet he couldn't find any relevant information in his memory.

Where the hell did that money go?

Also.

The original owner couldn't have been this stupid, right?

Looking broadly at Chen Che's entire deduction, there's also the biggest illogical point.

Which is why he would actively seek Moore to ask for casino information.

It's a very unreasonable phenomenon.

Because Chen Che, this pretty boy, is not liked by any of An Nishang's subordinates.

Because after receiving An Nishang's favor, his parallel world self was particularly domineering.

He almost disregarded everything except for An Nishang, and acted quite ostentatiously throughout the Ninth Special Zone.

As long as he served An Nishang well and didn't betray her, nothing major would happen.

As a result, the relationship with An Nishang's subordinates was extremely poor, especially with Moore.

Under the premise of such a relationship between the two, why would his parallel world self seek Moore for the casino information?

Even if he really wanted to relax at a casino, he could easily find various casinos.

Why foolishly deliver a pillow when Moore and the Tasting Commerce Association were troubled?

It doesn't make sense, it's too damn unreasonable.

What exactly did his parallel world self intend to do? Could it be to ease relations with An Nishang's subordinates?

This is not how you get chummy; anyone with status in the Ninth Special Zone is a genius, right?

Few words can form any closeness? Moreover, in his memory, the original owner had no other actions, and after asking for casino information, he actually went to play.

The more Chen Che recalled, the more he felt as if he was deliberately presenting himself.

But why is that?

The two biggest question marks gave Chen Che a headache.

He had no choice, in such a strange world, if he didn't think things through carefully, Chen Che was really afraid he'd lose his life.

He wasn't sure if he'd have a second chance at rebirth.

Plus, his cheat ability was somewhat indescribable.

For the sake of his own life, it's better to be meticulous.

"If there's really no clue... I can only tread carefully, An Nishang's intent to kill me hasn't dropped to zero, it seems she's satisfied with my performance today, but not enough to refrain from killing me.

After all, at least 30% of the responsibility lies in this matter.

Or even 100%.

If I hadn't suddenly inexplicably asked Moore for casino information, maybe I wouldn't have been involved in this matter at all.

I still need to show my value... I need to ask her for some work to do.

This would effectively lift her confinement on me, getting more information."

Chen Che continued to ponder, determining his next course of action.

"Screech—"

The sound of brakes echoed.

The vehicle arrived at the villa where An Nishang resided, and Bobby promptly jumped out of the car with eagerness.

At the entrance stood Big Dog and Little Dog.

The two looked on with surprise.

All they saw was Bobby with a fawning face approaching the other side, opening the car door and extending a hand to invite him out.

The brothers Big Dog and Little Dog then saw Chen Che stepping out of the car.

The brothers' eyes were filled with disbelief.

What's going on?

How long has it been?

"Bro, am I seeing things? Didn't that Bobby look like he wanted to skin him alive when he came to pick him up? Why does he look so sycophantic now?"

Big Dog squinted, "Looks like there's a result, he came back alive, meaning..."

Little Dog gasped, "Bro, are you saying Moore?"

Big Dog nodded, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back safely. It seems Bobby wants to climb up to him."

Little Dog looked puzzled, "This isn't like him, with his previous personality, shouldn't he be humiliating Bobby in such a situation? Look at Bobby, he seems to have become Bobby's new boss..."

Big Dog squinted, "Brother, he's changed, I noticed it earlier."

"Tsk..."

An Nishang hasn't lifted the confinement on Chen Che, so he didn't dare to run around rashly, greeting the brothers and entering the villa.

Chen Che's expression became somewhat playful.

He could clearly sense a subtle change in the two brothers' attitude toward him.

Previously, it was scornful disdain; now it carries a bit of... appropriate respect.

"Power is truly fascinating."
