Using the identity of the Shadow Garb Bureau, we can do business with Lin Mautsai. Over time, we will gradually gain control over his operations. By then, Lin Mautsai will have to look to us for his livelihood.
Moreover, Lin Mautsai has a vast network of connections; he has friends in both the legitimate and underground worlds. These friends are exactly what we need. If Lin Mautsai can supply weapons to Gu Wang, why can't we use him to deliver confidential messages for us?
When the time comes, if Lin Mautsai delivers confidential messages for us, even if he knows about it, he won't dare to speak out because he wouldn't want to offend us.
Additionally, there are many things we can't handle directly, so we can utilize Lin Mautsai to take care of them.
Lin Feng was silent for a moment before saying, "It sounds like a good idea, but... it is somewhat risky. What if Lin Mautsai gets desperate and turns against us publicly?"
I smiled and replied, "Sir, think about it. The reason Lin Mautsai dares to turn against you openly is that he has support behind him. If he hands over these shady dealings to us, he would essentially be trapping himself.
By then, will those people behind him still trust him? Once he loses his backing, will he still dare to confront us publicly?"
Lin Feng stared at me for a long time before finally asking, "How confident are you?"
I thought for a moment and answered, "Seventy to eighty percent."
Lin Feng frowned. "Only seventy to eighty percent?"
I sighed. "Sir, right now we can only take a gamble."
Lin Feng fell silent.
After a long while, Lin Feng slowly said, "Alright, I agree with your plan."
I smiled and replied, "My lord, you can rest assured that I won't let you down."
Lin Feng nodded and said, "By the way, you should come up with a name for your new business."
I thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it 'Daxia Market'!"
Lin Feng was taken aback. "'Daxia Market'? What does that mean?"
I smiled and explained, "It benefits both us and Lin Mautsai; it promotes both finance and trade."
Lin Feng laughed and said, "Good, that's a great name!"
Then Lin Feng added, "You need to write me a report right away, detailing the plan more thoroughly."
I nodded, "Yes."
After Lin Feng left, I immediately sat down and wrote out my plan in detail.
The next day, Lin Feng sent Mou Xiaoning to find me. He said that Lin Feng had approved my plan and wanted me to start setting up 'Daxia Market' immediately while temporarily taking on the leadership position of the Eleventh Division. At the same time, Lin Feng appointed Yuan Bufei as the deputy leader of the Shadow Garb Bureau.
I was taken aback. "My lord, isn't the deputy leader of the Shadow Garb Bureau Sister Thirteen?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Sister Thirteen performed well during your last injury. I have promoted her to Deputy Commander of the Eleventh Division."
I nodded and replied, "Thank you, Lord Xie."
Lin Feng continued, "As for Yuan Bufei's successor, you can decide for yourself and then report it to the Secret Intelligence Bureau for record."
I smiled and said, "Yes, my lord."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "By the way, a new batch of firearms has arrived. I have allocated them to you. You need to work hard and not let down my expectations of you."
I nodded and assured him, "My lord, you can rest assured! If I can't make Lin Mautsai behave himself within three days, I won't stay in the Shadow Garb Bureau any longer!"
I nodded again and saw Lin Feng out.
After returning to the ward, I began to consider that to complete the task assigned by Lin Feng, I still needed one key person.
