127: Chapter 127 The Scheme Succeeds

"Child, say no more. Even if I want to avenge him, I have no way of doing so. That is the main problem."

Wang Shuo turned to look out the window, his eyes filled with confusion.

Li Ziwei stood up and came to Wang Shuo's side. Looking at the busy road, he thought for a moment before speaking.

"Uncle Wang, as long as you're willing, I have a way."

Wang Shuo turned his head sharply.

"What good way do you have? Tell me."

At this moment, Wang Shuo was like a drowning man clutching at a straw, desperate to know what the method was. But now, Li Ziwei didn't want to say it anymore.

"Uncle Wang, you misheard me just now. I don't have any good way."

"Ziwei, you can't be like this. You clearly said you had a way just now. How can you deny it now? Are you trying to worry this old man to death? Or do you simply not respect me at all?"

Wang Shuo really didn't know what Li Ziwei was thinking.

Li Ziwei seemed to have made a great resolution as he turned his head helplessly.

"Uncle Wang, this method... unless it's a last resort, I absolutely cannot use it."

"Look at you. Just now when I didn't want revenge, you kept urging me to take it. Now that I want revenge, you're teasing me and refusing to say anything. Are you trying to drive this old man to his grave?"

Wang Shuo said anxiously.

"Child, speak up. No matter the consequences, I can bear them. Don't worry. I'm just a wretched old man; I'm not afraid of anything now."

"It's not that I'm unwilling to say..." Li Ziwei was intentionally keeping Wang Shuo in suspense, pacing back and forth in front of him. Wang Shuo felt as if a nerve in his brain was about to snap.

"Since you're unwilling to say, then forget it. After all, I'm not one to force others. If you have concerns, then don't say it. Just act like I never heard those words."

Wang Shuo didn't want to say anything more either.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, it's my fault. I shouldn't have kept teasing you. I'll tell you my last-resort method then. Actually, I know of an assassin organization that has the strength to kill Robinson."

"An assassin organization? Is it reliable? Can they really kill this Robinson?"

"From what I know, this assassin organization is extremely powerful. However, if we want to hire them, the price we'll have to pay will definitely be enormous."

Li Ziwei said.

"Money isn't an issue. I already have one foot in the grave. There's nothing to fear anymore. As long as I can avenge my son, I don't care how much it costs," Wang Shuo said.

"Sigh, Uncle Wang, you're thinking too simply. This isn't a matter of money at all." Li Ziwei shook his head.

"What? Not a matter of money? Isn't it common in the underworld to take someone's money and solve their problems? If they don't want money, what do they want?"

Wang Shuo was a bit surprised. After all, people in this world who don't love money are truly rare.

"Yes, what they want isn't money. It's the things inside the brain," Li Ziwei said, looking at Wang Shuo.

"Things inside the brain... Then you mean a wretched old man like me is surely useless. They definitely wouldn't want someone like me. Must I really give up on avenging my son?"

Wang Shuo said dejectedly.

"Uncle Wang, listen to me finish before making a decision. They don't really care about immediate matters; they want the future. They are a massive organization recruiting talent all over the world. If I went to them, they might not necessarily want me because my brain isn't that good. But you're different; you've been in the business world for decades. They will definitely want you."

Li Ziwei looked at Wang Shuo and continued.

"As long as you join their camp, with the price being the death of Robinson... they might agree. But the only downside is that you'll need to be controlled. From then on, you'll have no freedom. That is the greatest price."

After hearing Li Ziwei's words, Wang Shuo lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

"Child, I'll tell you the truth. My son is dead, and I have no more attachments to this world. Besides, I'm already so old; freedom is of no use to me. If I can avenge my son, I wouldn't even care if they took my life. I just want a definite answer. Can they really avenge Leizi?"

It wasn't that Wang Shuo didn't believe Li Ziwei. It's just that the world worked this way: I give you something in exchange, and you give me something in return. If what you give me doesn't satisfy my needs, why should I trade with you?

"Uncle Wang, I can't give you a definite answer on that. However, this is an opportunity for us. If we don't try, how will we know what the outcome will be?"

Li Ziwei was very clever. He left himself a way out and didn't make any absolute promises. This way, if Wang Shuo blamed him later, he would have a way to retort.

After hearing Li Ziwei's words, Wang Shuo nodded with a firm gaze.

"Child, you're right. If I give up without even trying, I'd be letting my son down. I've decided to try. Tell me the name and contact information of this organization. I've decided to join them."

"Uncle Wang, don't be impulsive. Think it over carefully." At this moment, Li Ziwei played the good guy again, telling Wang Shuo not to be rash.

"Child, I'm not being impulsive. I'm serious. For my son, even if I die, I have to try."

"Okay, Uncle Wang, since you've decided, I won't try to persuade you otherwise. Contacting them is very simple. I'll give you the contact information in a moment. Once you explain your intentions, they will understand."

"Okay. Ziwei, thank you. Thank you for helping me so much."

Wang Shuo truly thanked Li Ziwei from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle Wang, don't be so polite. As Wang Lei's friend, this is what I should do. If you need anything, just come to me for help; I'll definitely do my best. I'm just afraid you won't come to me when something's wrong."

Hearing Li Ziwei's words, Wang Shuo was deeply moved. He took Li Ziwei's hand and patted it.

"Child, I appreciate your kindness. I'm already very moved that you could help me like this. Say no more. From now on, I will treat you like my own son. I also hope you won't look down on this wretched old man."

Now, the more Wang Shuo looked at Li Ziwei, the more he liked him.

Li Ziwei lowered his head. Wang Shuo did not see his cold, sinister smile.
