The Return Of The God Level Assassin

MO JIU tilted his head, completely confused as to why this kid suddenly asked such a question. ”What does that have to do with anything?”

”Of course, it has to do with everything,” Luo Yan said, grinning mischievously. ”Because this ʼsomething funʼ involves your sister.”

Mo Jiu was starting to understand where the other was going with this. ”What makes you think I would go along with your idea of ʼfunʼ?”

”Didnʼt you say that you donʼt care about whatʼs happening with your sister right now? So, I donʼt think you would feel guilty even if you join in with this ʼfunʼ,” Luo Yan said with a shrug. ”Besides, Iʼm not letting you do it for free. Iʼll give you an incentive.”

”Surely, youʼre not thinking of paying me,” Mo Jiu said.

”Iʼm not talking about money. Iʼm talking about something that you want. Thatʼs why itʼs called an incentive,” Luo Yan said. ”Didnʼt you want to join the research team that would analyze the items dug at H province last summer? From what Iʼve heard, you didnʼt make the quota because you were late in submitting your application. If you promise to join in with the ʼfunʼ, I can guarantee that your name would be on the list of students that would be part of the team.”

Luo Jin was surprised to hear this. He didnʼt expect that his brother would have this much information on this Mo Jiu. Did the report he read on the Mo family really that extensive?

Yes, thatʼs right. The report Luo Yan had read was indeed very thorough. To the point that it included the favorite food of each of the family members. He learned from Luo Ren that it was compiled by his assistant. Really, in Luo Yanʼs opinion, that guy definitely deserved a pay raise.

Mo Jiu was also slightly surprised to hear that the other knew about that. There was a dig that happened last summer at an archeological site in H province. They managed to unearth a lot of materials. So, this winter, they were hoping that students from a number of universities would help them analyze the data from those materials.

He indeed wanted to be part of that research team. But unfortunately, he was too pre-occupied by another project that by the time he found out about it, the quota was already filled out.

He tried to talk to the professor in charge. But that professor firmly refused. Saying that they couldnʼt add another student because it would exceed the quota allotted to their university. Because this project was a joint project by a number of top universities in the country. If other universities found out about it, it might affect their universityʼs reputation.

Another factor was the fact that he was only in his sophomore year in his undergrad course. The other students who were going to be part of that team were either senior students or those who were already taking their masterʼs degree. So, even if he managed to submit his application on time, itʼs highly unlikely that he would be chosen. No matter how brilliant he might be.

He actually considered bribing someone from the school. But he thought better of it. What if that decision came back to him in the future? He didnʼt want that to affect his educational record.

”If youʼre planning to bribe the school, then forget it,” he said.

Although he was a bit tempted, if this thing got back to him then heʼd rather not take the risk.

”Iʼm not going to bribe the school. Thatʼs criminal, you know?” Luo Yan said, acting as if he was offended by what Mo Jiu was insinuating.

Mo Jiu, on his part, didnʼt buy Luo Yanʼs guilt-tripping. ”Then, what are you suggesting?”

Luo Yan smiled sweetly. ”Iʼm simply going to bribe the students who are supposed to be part of that research team.”

Both Luo Jin and Mo Jiu were quite speechless by this. Whatʼs the difference between bribing the school and bribing an individual? Seeing the flabbergasted expression of the two, Luo Yan further explained;

”Iʼm thinking of bribing two. That way, if they gave up their spot, no one would find it suspicious if you and another student took their place. Of course, I would make it so that they wouldnʼt give up their spot at the same time. I would even make sure that the reason for them doing that would be so varied, no one would suspect a thing.

”The start of that project is still two months from now, right? Iʼll make sure that those two who will give up their places will do so with a considerable amount of time in between. In this way, even if you take the place of one of them, no one would suspect that your bribed them. People would just think youʼre lucky for taking one of the spots.”

This made Mo Jiu speechless once again. Itʼs like the other had already planned for everything and the only thing missing was his approval. On the other hand, Luo Jin only thought that his brotherʼs ʼdark sideʼ was showing again.

”If thatʼs the case, then I can also do that. Which means I donʼt really have any need for you,” Mo Jiu said after

Luo Yan only smiled meaningfully. ”Really? But I donʼt think you will do it. If youʼre planning to, I think you have already done it. The fact that you havenʼt yet meant youʼre not thinking of doing so. Why do I have such an idea, you ask? Because you donʼt want this whole thing to be connected to you. You know that even if you do everything secretly, thereʼs still a chance, albeit very small, that it would come back to you.

”But if Iʼm the one who would do it, that chance would almost be negligible. After all, the two of us have no connections whatsoever. And if you must know, the bribing method I will use would not look like bribes at all. You donʼt need to know the details. The less you know, the better, right? So, what do you think? Are you in or out?”

Mo Jiu was silent for a couple of seconds. He appeared to be thinking deeply. Then, he looked straight into Luo Yanʼs eyes and answered, ”Iʼm in.”

And a very satisfied smile appeared on Luo Yanʼs beautiful face.
