Chapter 865: What Kind of Deal Do You Want to Make With Me?

Big Mouth lay on the bed. He was anxious to the point of frustration.

Colin was in a good mood, and the urge to tease Big Mouth rose up in him.

So he looked at Big Mouth and said with a malicious grin, “Boss said you’re a burden now. He doesn’t need you anymore. From now on, I’m Boss’s underling. Just now, the two of us were discussing how to hand you over to the program inspectors so they’d let the two of us go.”

When Big Mouth heard that—and then remembered he couldn’t move right now—wasn’t he exactly a burden?

So he immediately looked at Wang Yun with watery eyes, his face full of grievance.

He tried hard to think of what use he could still be, but after thinking for ages, he still couldn’t come up with a single thing!

Normally, his one and only usefulness was that he could cook.

But now he couldn’t even move.

So even that was gone.

With a miserable face, looking like he was about to cry, Big Mouth stared at Wang Yun.

“Boss… th-then… then just leave me here, okay? Just don’t hand me over to those program inspectors, alright?”

The moment Colin saw that expression, he doubled over laughing. He couldn’t take it; Big Mouth really was a living treasure.

It was killing him.

Wang Yun looked at Big Mouth’s pitiful face and couldn’t help glaring at him.

“What nonsense are you saying? Who said we’re throwing you away?”

As soon as Big Mouth heard that, he immediately realized Colin had been messing with him.

“Colin!!! Screw you!” he shouted, burning with embarrassment and rage.

He was so mad he wanted to leap off the bed and beat Colin up.

Wang Yun cast him a calm glance and kindly reminded him, “You can’t beat him.”

That light, casual sentence instantly deflated Big Mouth, who had just been pumped full of rage.

So he went right back to playing dead on the bed. His only method of revenge was to snort disdainfully at Colin through his nostrils.

Wang Yun shook his head helplessly.

Colin, however, said with a grin, “Brother Big Mouth is really cute.”

Then, ignoring Big Mouth hopping mad, he turned serious again and looked at Wang Yun.

“Brother Wang Yun, you two rest here. I’ll sleep next door. There should only be the three of us staying on this floor. If you need anything, just come find me.”

Wang Yun nodded.

Colin was also in a hurry to go sort out the cash he had on hand. He was ready to make a killing.

Colin turned and headed for the door.

At the doorway, he seemed to remember something.

“Brother Wang Yun, if you need anything, just ask the two guards outside.”

Wang Yun nodded again.

Only then did Colin feel reassured. He opened the door and left.

Once he was truly gone, Big Mouth finally suppressed the embarrassed anger on his face. He looked at Wang Yun with a serious expression.

“Boss, what did you two talk about downstairs that got that bastard so happy?”

Even when talking about something serious, Big Mouth still couldn’t resist taking a jab at Colin.

Who told him to tease him? Acting along was exhausting, okay?!

Wang Yun seemed to have expected Big Mouth’s reaction. He walked slowly to the bedside and sat down.

But the viewers in the livestream were not calm at all.

“Holy crap!!! What did I just see???”

“My Brother Big Mouth has made something of himself! He actually learned how to lie too???”

“What do you mean ‘lie’? That was clearly camouflage!”

“Mom, I’ve made it! In my lifetime, I actually got to see Brother Big Mouth act!”

“What acting? That was clearly his natural performance!”

“My Big Bro Wang Yun finally doesn’t have to worry like a dad anymore!”

***

Wang Yun glanced at Big Mouth and spoke slowly.

“If I don’t get some bargaining chips in hand, what am I going to use to trade Director Zhou for your antidote?”

Big Mouth was instantly confused.

What did Colin have to do with his antidote?

His face was full of question marks, his round eyes wide open.

Wang Yun rolled his eyes at him. He was too lazy to explain.

You can’t carve rotten wood.

Wang Yun left the bedside, went to the sofa, and said, “Connect me with Director Zhou.”

After saying that, he sat down on the sofa and waited quietly.

On the other side, when Director Zhou heard from the staff that Wang Yun wanted him, he immediately went to his computer and put on his headset.

He thought Wang Yun had finally compromised. But he was destined to be disappointed yet again.

Not long after, Director Zhou’s slightly teasing voice came through the room.

“What? Thought it through? Decided to abandon Big Mouth?”

Wang Yun frowned slightly at that and softly said a single word, “No.”

On the other end, Director Zhou frowned.

“Then what are you calling me for?”

Wang Yun immediately smiled and said, “To make a deal with you.”

Director Zhou thought for a while, wondering what bargaining chip could Wang Yun possibly have.

He racked his brains and still couldn’t figure it out.

“What kind of deal do you want to make with me?” he asked directly.

After a moment, Wang Yun’s calm, unruffled voice came through the earpiece.

“Trade the freedom of a fugitive for Big Mouth’s freedom to move.”

Director Zhou was even more confused, like a monk who couldn’t make sense of it.

“What do you mean by that?”
