Hao Shen's Identity

Then, Louis explained in more detail about what he wanted. When the man heard about the task, he pondered deeply while stroking his chin. "Ermmm… That's a difficult task. Do you want me to break the IP protection and expose the transaction data to the public, as well as uncovering their identities?"

Nodding lightly, Louis responded casually, "That's correct. I've mentioned before that this would be a very difficult task. So… Can you do it or not?"

Without much thought, the man nodded and stated, "I'm willing and capable of doing it if I bring a hacking team for this and purchase viruses and specialized coding from the black market—"

"Just tell me, how much money do you need?" Louis cut off the small talk and went straight to the core issue.

Turning to look at Louis, the man then said, "20 million. I need 20 million yuan to get all of that and keep the hacking operation active for the next 2 months."

Louis immediately took out his phone and asked for the man's bank account number, then transferred the requested amount and even added 2 million as a bonus. When the man saw that Louis transferred a large sum of money without expression, he could only marvel and envy him. "Such immense wealth, it's not surprising considering you yourself are a still-existing nobleman, Lord Louis…"

Glancing at the man with a slightly sharp gaze, Louis approached him and asked softly, "Since you already know my identity, wouldn't negotiations be easier because you don't need to doubt my credibility? Isn't that so? Hao Shen?"

"…!!!"

His eyes widened in shock upon hearing that name, then he quickly turned to Louis and stared at him in disbelief.

After staring at him for a moment, Hao Shen asked with a slightly hesitant tone, "H-How do you know my name? I should have left that name behind long ago—"

"I have many powers that you could never imagine. So, there's no need to do anything foolish and just do what I ask. I could ask the companies under my grandfather to do the task, but I'm worried that if I do, my grandfather will find out that I'm dealing with someone and make him wonder about things beyond my control. So, I just found out about the identities of all of you working here and memorized everyone who might work for me in the dark," Louis explained as he sat on the sofa in the room.

Hao Tangshan heard the explanation and nodded hesitantly, his body trembling slightly. Then, he spoke softly, "I-I apologize for raising the price too high, four times over. I-I will refund some of this money—"

"You don't need to do that. Use some of the money to cover the cost of your brother's operation and share some with your group to meet your living needs fairly and to pay for more workers or tools you need. I just want you to do this calmly and quickly, and you must not disclose my identity to anyone. If you do…" Louis mimicked cutting his own throat with his hand, his expression emitting a strange mix of regret and threat.

Seeing the threat from Louis, the man only swallowed his saliva and nodded quickly, tears welling up slightly. "A-And you also know about my brother?"

"Of course. He lives in an apartment on the outskirts of Tangshan with you, right? Use 4 million yuan for his operation. And, don't ask too many questions about this or that, it's annoying," Louis continued calmly.

Nodding casually, Hao Shen then returned to his computer and resumed his work casually, saying, "I understand, Lord Louis. I will carry out your task as instructed."

"Well, that's good," Louis said with a smile on his face.

Then, he stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door of the room. As he walked, Louis said, "Since my business here is done, I will return to Beijing first. Goodbye. Do the job properly."

Seeing that Louis had opened and closed the door completely, Hao Shen just stared at the door blankly and then said calmly, "Certainly, I will do my best for it…."

Creak…

Sliding his chair back to his computer, Hao Shen stared at his screen while pondering many things that had happened earlier. Although he thought about many things, there was one thing he was sure of and firmly planted in his heart.

"Someone like him… It's okay if I give my trust to him…."

That's what he instilled in himself.

Why wouldn't he? He could do anything with the capital he had, even killing wouldn't be difficult for him. Also, not long ago, he heard about an attack carried out by a triad on someone who then managed to kill many of them and escape, leaving behind a very expensive and unique car.

From the data he knew, only one person owned that car in China. None other than Louis. So from his observation, Louis should be able to kill him if he intended to betray him or something like that.

"But well… being on the opposite side of that man won't give me any results. So, I'll just obey him and get my payment!"
