A Scientific Urban Detective

I felt like I heard a very exaggerated number…

Lin Wuming stared at the girl in front of him for a while.

"That's right, 10 billion." Yun Chuan Qianxia nodded with a serious expression. "Cash or other resources of equal value, this is the price the other side is willing to pay."

"To save their lives?" Lin Wuming silently counted the digits of the number in his heart.

"For peace." Yun Chuan Qianxia corrected, "The Board of Directors is the ruler of this city. As rulers, the last thing they want to see is this city plunged into war."

After a slight pause, she continued, "Obviously, they now realize that Lin Wuming does indeed have the power to start a war."

In comparison, paying 10 billion as compensation is a more economical decision.

Lin Wuming was indeed very tempted.

Although he never really cared about the numbers in his account and lacked a real sense of money beyond a certain amount.

But still, 10 billion was indeed too shocking.

Of course, the most important thing was that Yun Chuan Qianxia had intentionally or unintentionally reminded him of "cash or resources of equal value."

This was the real reason why she dared to come and negotiate.

--The expenses required to support 10,000 people are astronomical.

Conservatively estimating, even just maintaining the lowest standard of living for the Misaka sisters would cost hundreds of millions each month.

If you want them to live like normal female middle school students, it will cost even more.

10 billion seems like a lot, but it's unknown whether it can last until the Misaka sisters reach high school age!

You must know that in order to support those Misaka sisters, Lin Wuming is still working for Chairman Aleister. He really doesn't have the confidence to say no to this huge compensation.

"So, what do you think of this proposal?" Yun Chuan Qianxia said with a smile, as if she had already seen through Lin Wuming's hesitation, "I can help you bargain a bit more and increase the amount by another eight to ten percent."

"You see, there is no direct conflict between you and the Board of Directors," Yun Chuan Qianxia continued while the iron was hot, "Why make it a life-and-death situation?"

"What you said makes sense." Lin Wuming nodded and finally agreed to the proposal.

Yun Chuan Qianxia immediately breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a hint of gratified smile.

The reason why Yun Chuan Qianxia was willing to come forward as this "middleman" and "peacemaker" this time was not only because she had dealt with Lin Wuming before and even helped him, making it easier to talk to him; but also because she wanted to take care of Lin Wuming.

Although she was ostensibly studying at a certain high school and looked like an ordinary female high school student, Yun Chuan Qianxia was actually not simple at all.

Although she is not a superpower user, she has become the "brain" of the Board of Directors with her excellent intelligence - although she does not have the title of "Board of Director", she actually holds the power of the "Board of Director"…

This kind of ecological niche is somewhat similar to the current "Nameless Director".

Therefore, in Yun Chuan Qianxia's opinion, the current Lin Wuming is undoubtedly her "kind".

As a senior, it is only natural to take care of the junior of the "same kind".

Seeing that Lin Wuming quickly accepted her kindness, Yun Chuan Qianxia nodded with satisfaction and decided in her heart to help him win another ten or twenty billion.

--Anyway, those guys don't really have to pay…

That's right, the compensation given to Lin Wuming is essentially the wealth that originally belonged to Director Sherbin.

Now that he is gone and there are no people or organizations under him who can inherit his legacy, this wealth has become "unclaimed property".

And Lin Wuming and Shi Feng Caoqi have no experience in being big chaebols, and they are completely unaware of the existence of this wealth.

At most, Shi Feng Caoqi took the opportunity to buy some companies at the bottom price, and then took down the "Sherbin Building" and the attached block, and she already felt very satisfied. Lin Wuming was even more accustomed to being a hands-off shopkeeper and never thought about "spoils of war" or anything like that.

But as an insider, Yun Chuan Qianxia aimed at the fattest piece of cake from the beginning.

Originally, she planned to help Director Beiji Jimi win most of it, but after noticing the sudden rise of the "Nameless Director", Yun Chuan Qianxia changed her mind.

--She was going to give this entire cake to Lin Wuming as a congratulatory gift!

Although I don't know Yun Chuan Qianxia's true thoughts, Lin Wuming also thought a lot after calming down.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

After Yun Chuan Qianxia's reminder, Lin Wuming not only remembered that he urgently needed a lot of money, but also realized a more important problem - the safety of the Misaka sisters.

It may not be accurate to say this, but the existence of the Misaka sisters has indeed become their weakness in a sense.

If they recklessly choose to go to war again, it is difficult to guarantee that the enemy will not target the Misaka sisters!

After silently reciting "peace is the most valuable" several times, Lin Wuming continued to ask: "When will the money arrive? In what form will it be paid?"

"Please wait patiently for a few more days," Yun Chuan Qianxia showed a look of eagerness to try, "I will squeeze a little more out of them for you. Don't worry, not a single yen will be missing when it is handed over to you."

With one thing off her mind, Yun Chuan Qianxia was in a very good mood. She said "wait a moment" to Lin Wuming and then walked towards the "School" members waiting aside.

"The task is completed, and the reward will be credited soon." Even when facing Yuan Gen Ditu, she did not show any fear. Instead, she really looked like a boss who hired them to work. "This task was completed well. I look forward to the next cooperation."

Yuan Gen Ditu also shook hands with her politely. Honestly, he also welcomed this kind of work that was not difficult but had a high reward.

"Brother Wuming, remember to come back and see us!" Lu Gang Pingguo and Liu Xiang Zhiguo did not forget to remind him when they left.

Then, they were taken away by the four members of "School".

"What an excellent dark side organization!" Watching "School" leave, Yun Chuan Qianxia returned to Lin Wuming and praised, "I heard that Student Wuming has some grievances with them, but those small things are not important - as long as you become their employer, Yuan Gen Ditu is unexpectedly disciplined, so he will not be detrimental to the employer."

"Oh… ah?" Lin Wuming looked at the girl beside him with a surprised expression, "What does this mean? Also, why are you suddenly telling me this?"

"I'm teaching you how to be a good 'Nameless Director'," Yun Chuan Qianxia said as a matter of course, "We who have the status of Board of Directors can reasonably hire dark side organizations to do anything. Unless it is a dark side organization directly under a specific director, no dark side can refuse to carry out the task - just remember to pay on time."
