[WDIDWAMGB] Chapter 122: New Member

"Irving?" Leon was slightly stunned by Li Yexing's answer and asked, "What does that have to do with Irving?"

"That's why I say you're an idiot! The CIA is just wasting its time!" Li Yexing exclaimed with frustration, "Do you remember what that guy was doing?"

"Helping Tricell Pharmaceutical sell drugs?" Leon hesitantly asked after thinking for a moment.

"That's not entirely wrong..." Li Yexing nodded and continued to lead, "Think about it, since Tricell Pharmaceutical secretly developed B.O.W., what kind of drugs do you think Irving was selling?"

"B.O.W.!" Leon suddenly realized, something flashed in his mind but he couldn't quite grasp it. He furrowed his brows and said, "But even if he's selling B.O.W. on the black market, we don't have any evidence."

"Does the CIA need evidence?" Li Yexing widened his eyes in surprise.

"I always feel like you have some bias against my work," Leon muttered under his breath, "And according to what you're saying, Tricell has the whole government in their pocket. We can't touch them."

"You can't touch them, but someone can!" Li Yexing patiently urged Leon.

"Who?" Leon asked.

"BSAA!" Li Yexing exclaimed in frustration, covering his forehead, "Why are you so foolish? It shouldn't be like this..."

"BSAA..." Leon thought for a moment but didn't seem to understand the reasoning.

"Come on, think about it carefully..." Li Yexing sat down beside Leon and explained in detail, "Although Irving takes orders from Tricell, he definitely won't sell B.O.W. under their banner, otherwise he'd leave a clue, right?"

Leon nodded.

"Come on, Think Leon Think! Since he didn't sell under the Tricell banner, is it not okay for BSAA to enter South Africa under the banner of catching illegal B.O.W. trades on the black market? What right does Tricell have to stop BSAA from catching a B.O.W. dealer?" Li Yexing continued.

"I see!" Leon suddenly realized, "You want BSAA to catch Irving in South Africa and then make him confess about Tricell Pharmaceutical! But according to your logic, this won't work. Once BSAA makes a big move, Tricell Pharmaceutical will definitely react..."

"That's why ordinary BSAA won't work. We need a group of explosive and impulsive guys to act fast and give Tricell Pharmaceutical no time to respond..." Li Yexing laughed and patted Leon's shoulder, "You know who I'm talking about."

"Chris Redfield!" Leon immediately thought of a candidate when he heard this, but then he felt a bit strange, "Wait... Li... do you know that guy?"

"Yeah, I met him four years ago and we've been in touch recently," Li Yexing laughed, "If that guy makes a move, the Tricell Pharmaceutical South African Division will probably be turned upside down before they even figure out what's happening."

"I'll report it to my superiors as soon as I get back home," Leon finally smiled, he took a sip of beer, and said, "This should end it once and for all."

Watching Leon breathe a sigh of relief, a barely perceptible smirk crossed the corner of Li Yexing's mouth. 'Hehe, Wesker, I hope you like the big gift I'm giving you...'

"Wait a minute!" Kanan, who had been listening in a daze, suddenly looked surprised. "So you've been planning all of this from the beginning?"

"Of course," Li Yexing nodded. "I had his script written from the first time I met Irving."

"So that's why you said you'd take care of Tricell when we were in the valley?" Kanan widened her eyes. "You played your employer? What about your professional ethics?"

"My professional ethics are to do the job for the money. Now that I've received the money and done the job, my responsibility is fulfilled..." Li Yexing shrugged, looking indifferent. "Whether it's the CIA or BSAA that comes knocking on the door after I leave, it has nothing to do with me."

"You..." Kanan looked at Li Yexing and suddenly showed a helpless smile. "I have to say... you really live up to your reputation. You made things so complicated when you could have just turned me in and gotten eight million dollars. It's amazing how you can scheme so much."

"Trade you for money? No way," Li Yexing shook his head. "Once we've shaken hands, we're trusted partners."

With that, Li Yexing looked up at Kanan and said, "What about the thing I mentioned earlier? Have you thought about it?"

"What thing?" Kanan asked knowingly.

"Join me!" Li Yexing said. "Didn't you promise me that you'd join me as long as I took care of Tricell? Now that I've made Tricell's arrangements clear, shouldn't you keep your promise?"

"When did I promise you anything? You jerk! Don't make things up!" Kanan took a swig of beer and said, "And you saw how I looked, yet you dare say such things?"

"Hah! Do you think I give a fuck?" Li Yexing laughed. "Come on, give me a straight answer. Will you join me or not?"

After hesitating for a while, Kanan whispered, "My salary... is quite expensive."

"No problem!" Li Yexing laughed and said, "There's no one here with a low salary, right, Leon?" He then patted Leon's shoulder.

As soon as the topic of salary came up, Leon became enthusiastic. He smiled and said, "That's right, my salary is really high, too high..." Suddenly, his face became a bit sad and he said, "I just don't have time to spend it."

"So you see..." Li Yexing gestured towards Kanan and said, "Salary is not a problem at all, it's definitely enough to spend."

"Okay..." Kanan smiled and nodded. "Since you insist, I'll reluctantly agree."

"So, do we have a new sister joining the harem club, Master?" Rita, who had been silent all this time, suddenly covered her mouth and giggled.

"What harem club?" Kanan grumbled, "I'm here to make a living. Don't treat me like one of those women who sell their bodies for a raise!"

Leon, who was standing beside her, looked at the tattoo on Kanan's arm that seemed to be moving slowly and turned to Li Yexing, saying, "As a friend, I still hope you can be with more ordinary girls..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lilith next to him said angrily, "Mr. Leon, do you want to die?"

Leon decided to keep quiet and averted his gaze. Then he leaned in and said, "Also, don't forget to get a medical check-up, brother. You're close to Chris, right? If you have time, go to the BSAA for a check-up. You're in danger the way you are now."

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing," Li Yexing replied with a smile, patting Leon's shoulder.

Seeing Li Yexing's reaction, Leon knew that he wasn't listening at all.

Looking at the people in the yard, Li Yexing stood up with a beer in his hand, grinning. "Today is a great day. We completed our mission successfully, got our commission, and Leon's trip to South Africa is coming to an end. He can enjoy a long vacation soon. And our mercenary agency has gained a new friend..."

"Do we have to make it so formal?" Kanan muttered quietly, turning her head to the side.

"It's been a bumpy trip to Africa," Li Yexing said, sighing with a smile. He raised his beer and exclaimed, "Anyway, to celebrate our successful return and the new addition to our agency, cheers!"

"Cheers!"
