Shi Yuliang, upon hearing the words, couldn't help but cast a somewhat glance at Chelsea.
It's not that she lacked confidence in this task; capturing a scion of wealth, much like apprehending the esteemed Sirka Bond, was no formidable feat for her.
The troublesome aspect wasn't apprehending the individual, but rather the absence of overtime pay.
It must be noted that executing such tasks requires a significant expenditure of energy in planning. The young woman was forcibly pulled back from her vacation to serve as labor, and the recent workload was nearly draining her dry.
Sensing the subtle expression of concern on Shigure Ryouko's face, Chelsea furrowed her brow and spoke:
"Refrain from such expressions; upon completion of the task, you'll be rewarded with an additional bonus."
"Marvelous!"
Miss Shigure immediately adopted a different demeanor, cheerfully remarking:
"I vow to complete the task!"
"Mr. Jonas Weiting is no easy target; don't capsize in the gutter," Chelsea cautioned, though internally disparaging this Mr. Jonas Weiting, she was not one to let personal emotions interfere with the plan.
Mr. Jonas Weiting's decisive actions during the chip heist and the rumored adeptness he exhibited were well-known. Despite her strategic contempt for the adversary, she would never underestimate them tactically.
Even if she didn't believe he could cause Shigure Ryouko to fail, she still offered a word of caution:
"Exercise caution."
"I'm proficient in such matters," Shigure Ryouko replied confidently, patting her chest.
Upon hearing this, Shigure Ryouko patted her chest and said, "Miss Chelsea, do you still doubt me?"
Chelsea furrowed her brow at the remark but ultimately set aside her doubts, saying, "You... know best."
"Mm-hmm."
Though she nodded repeatedly, Shigure Ryouko didn't take Chelsea's words to heart.
She had even dealt with higher-ups in the peacekeeping forces; dealing with an heir to a consortium would be a walk in the park, wouldn't it?
....
Weiting Consortium, Alt Division Headquarters.
Jonas glanced at the message from the R&D department, feeling a slight sense of relief.
Although the chip stolen from the Nason Consortium had not been completely deciphered yet, its positioning system had been dismantled to a considerable extent.
In other words, even without a shielding device, there was no need to worry about the Nason Consortium tracking the chip's location.
The plan was already halfway successful, with only the final piece remaining to bring closure to the entire affair.
As Jonas looked at what he had instructed her to do, Eiffel couldn't help but furrow her brow, hesitantly asking, "Mr. Jonas, are you sure about this?"
The efficiency of Miss Eiffel, the servant, was unparalleled even within the entire 25th District; it was only fitting to entrust these matters to her.
"That Miss Chelsea is no fool, and neither is that Miss Shadowblade," Jonas paused before continuing, "To catch fish, one must be willing to bait the hook."
Upon hearing this, Eiffel opened her mouth but couldn't find the words for a while.
She simply said with a hint of helplessness, "But your plan is quite risky."
As Jonas had said, one must be willing to bait the hook for the fish to bite.
But for him to use himself as bait, it was difficult for Eiffel to feel at ease.
"You must understand, once we fail, our previous advantages will be lost, and you will also be in danger," she warned.
Jonas smiled and addressed Eiffel, saying, "Have you ever seen me do anything without assurance?"
Upon hearing this, Eiffel couldn't help but pause.
Although Jonas' actions had been erratic before, there was no doubt that he only did things he was confident about.
After a moment of silence, she finally said, "I am willing to trust you... So, what do we do next?"
A hint of amusement flickered in Jonas' eyes as he paused before saying, "Next, please cooperate with me, Miss Eiffel."
"....?"
As Eiffel looked at the amusement in Jonas' eyes, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
....
It is widely known that Jonas Weiting, heir of the Weiting Consortium, is a notorious scion.
Even though there have been some highlights in previous incidents, it does not change his vile nature.
Previous incompetence may have been a facade, but his numerous heinous deeds were undoubtedly real.
His nature is no different from other consortium heirs.
Greedy, lazy, arrogant, and lustful.
Shigure Ryouko looked at the information she had gathered over the past few days and sighed, crushing the lollipop in her mouth.
Chelsea was right; this was indeed a difficult adversary.
She had been observing for three consecutive days, yet he had not given her any opportunity, being even more cautious than the consortium heads she had previously dealt with.
She couldn't help but slap the file in front of her with some frustration, saying fiercely, "Does this bastard know I'm coming to get him? How can he stay inside the company for two or three days straight?"
To be honest, if he continued to hide within the company like this, she truly had no solution.
With her alone, it would require superhuman abilities to infiltrate the Alt Division Headquarters, capture Jonas, and escape unscathed.
The only thing she could do was wait for an opportunity when he ventured outside...
But after observing his movements for two to three days, if he continued like this, she truly couldn't take him down.
"I don't believe you've been indoors all this time."
She cursed inwardly, and the next moment, there were some anomalies on the surveillance screen.
The facial recognition system locked onto a figure in the crowd. Although the person quickly got into a black car, their face was still captured.
It was none other than her target, Jonas Weiting.
Shigure Ryouko's eyes lit up, and she quickly tracked the black car via the Nason Consortium's satellite.
—Finally, I've caught an opportunity!
