Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Coercion and Enticement (2/2)
"You also know that im this internet café, I'm just a glove on the surface, the big share still has to be handed over. If the people behind me find out that I ruined their money flow out of greed, they'll skin me alive."
"You're quite smart."
Wang Defa, however, was not pleased by Qin Siyang's compliment. Instead, his tone carried some resentment, "I'm just an ordinary person, dealing with Sequence Ability users every day. If I weren't a little clever, I'd have died hundreds of times already."
"But afterward, out of curiosity, I took some time to check the spot where that floor tile was."
"Did you find anything?"
"If you're not a Sequence Ability user, you simply can't get close to that floor tile."
"Why?"
"Because that floor tile is right near the exit of the Safe Zone, in an area where Sequence Ability users rest. People come and go there every day."
"If people are coming and going every day, then how did Roylena place the silver coin under it?"
"I don't know. Maybe she specifically picked a time when no one was around to place it. Boss, that's all I know."
Qin Siyang remained silent for a long time, thinking about his next move.
From Wang Defa's account, it wasn't hard for him to deduce that the Internal Mole of the Bureau, [Dream Maker], had access to all of Roylena's information.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to create a perfectly tailored fake identity for her.
However, the anonymous transaction method made Qin Siyang believe that Roylena likely didn't know who [Dream Maker] was.
This meant that Qin Siyang would have to trade with an unknown person, exposing all of his own information.
Meanwhile, the other party could always remain hidden in the shadows.
It was equivalent to handing over leverage to this person, who could use it against him at any time.
Qin Siyang absolutely couldn't accept such a passive position.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you. But there's one more thing I need your help with."
"Go ahead."
"I'm a bit short on funds right now. I need you to lend me a silver coin to complete the registration for a forged Sequence identity."
Wang Defa was dumbfounded.
Hadn't he been running around and working hard all this time just for that one silver coin?
And now Qin Siyang was asking him to give it up? Then what was the point of all this?
Qin Siyang knew that his request was rather shameless, but he really had no other way to gather the silver coin.
He couldn't just kill someone over a single silver coin, could he?
"Boss, this is way too much! Are you treating me like a joke?"
"I told you, you're lending it to me. Once I join the Sequence Ability Bureau, I'll pay you back double."
"You should know that if I wanted to take it by force, I wouldn't have to explain so much to you."
Wang Defa scoffed at Qin Siyang's empty promises, "Boss, I've seen people run up tabs before, but you're asking to run a tab for an entire silver coin… I—"
"I don't have time to waste on this. Lend me a silver coin, or I'll kill your entire family. Your choice. Oh, and even if you report me, I can still use the information you just gave me to drag you down with me."
After saying that, Qin Siyang didn't wait for Wang Defa to respond, "You're a smart man. You know what to do. Now, get out—I need to use the computer. I'll be at your internet café's entrance tomorrow night. Bring me the silver coin then."
Wang Defa clenched his fists and stood still, staring at Qin Siyang's back, without replying.
"Don't do anything stupid. Think about your family.", Qin Siyang casually reminded him.
