Chapter 82: The Two Protagonists Cooperate to Defeat the Villain!

"What?! Angkor wants to cooperate with me?"

At the headquarters of Longya Capital, Zhao Tian, the Dragon King, was taken aback upon hearing the news.

"Yes, Dragon King!" a man in black reported.

Zhao Tian frowned, lost in thought.

This guy is a tomb robber. He's not particularly skilled at looting tombs or selling antiques, yet he chose to work as a janitor in Lin Beifan's company. And now, he suddenly wants to work with me and betray Lin Beifan?

Zhao Tian couldn't figure it out. What is this guy up to?

"Have you investigated the real reason Angkor went to Lin Beifan's company?" he asked.

"Not yet, Dragon King! But…"

"But what?"

"But we did find out that Angkor is in a relationship with someone from Lin Beifan's cleaning company!"

Zhao Tian's interest was piqued. "He's in love? And with a janitor? What does she look like? Is she attractive?"

The man in black hesitated before saying awkwardly, "Dragon King… it's difficult to describe. You should take a look for yourself."

He handed Zhao Tian a phone with a picture on it. Zhao Tian took one glance—and was utterly stunned.

The woman Angkor is dating is an aunt in her fifties!

Not only that, but she was overweight, with thick features.

And to make matters worse, she already had children—children older than Angkor himself!

"This… is this real?" Zhao Tian asked in disbelief.

"It's true, Dragon King!"

For a moment, Zhao Tian was silent. Then, suddenly, he burst into laughter.

"Angkor, I never thought you'd have such unique taste! I have to hand it to you—this is something else!"

He found this discovery incredibly amusing. It felt like he had stumbled upon a juicy secret.

"Since he's come knocking, test him. See if he's worth working with."

"Understood, Dragon King!"

In Mohai City

Angkor sat across from two men in black.

One of them asked, "Why do you want to work with us?"

Angkor replied, "Because I want to make money—a lot of money! At Lin Beifan's company, I'm just a janitor. There's no way I can earn that much, so I'd rather work with you!"

Zhao Tian, who was listening remotely, sneered.

A tomb robber short on money?

You could make tens of millions just by looting a few ancient tombs. You could even dig up priceless national treasures. So why are you really here?

The man in black narrowed his eyes. "You just said you're a lowly janitor. Why should we trust you to be useful to us?"

Angkor smirked. "Do you really think the people you've bought are useful?"

The man in black frowned. "What do you mean?"

Angkor shook his head. "Let me be blunt: all the people you've planted inside Lin Beifan's company? They're useless. Worse, they've already been exposed. Lin Beifan is far more intelligent than you think."

"Impossible! We were extremely careful!"

Angkor scoffed. "Then how did I find out?"

The man in black was momentarily speechless.

"Even a janitor like me figured it out. Do you really think Lin Beifan, a man as cunning as a fox, didn't notice?"

Silence fell over the room.

Angkor sneered inwardly.

These fools don't understand. Lin Beifan is a reincarnator.

In his past life, Angkor had fought against Lin Beifan for over a decade, only to fail every single time.

Lin Beifan was too smart—calculative, meticulous, always ten steps ahead.

Time and time again, powerful figures had fallen before him.

And yet these amateurs thought they could deceive him?

Zhao Tian also fell into deep thought.

Yes, Lin Beifan was not easy to deal with.

If Lin Beifan really suspected nothing, why hadn't he exposed their spies yet?

Perhaps he was merely waiting for them to slip up—waiting to catch bigger fish.

Angkor added, "Lin Beifan is far smarter and more difficult to deal with than you realize. He's likely holding back, waiting for the right moment to strike!"

Zhao Tian nodded slowly. He was starting to agree.

"Ask him what he plans to do," Zhao Tian instructed.

The man in black relayed the question.

Angkor replied confidently, "I will become Lin Beifan's most trusted confidant. Then, I'll be in a position to help you!"

The man in black hesitated. "And you think you can pull that off?"

"Of course!" Angkor said proudly.

"First, I can act better than any of the people you've bribed. I won't panic under pressure."

"Second, as a janitor with little education, Lin Beifan won't see me as a threat. I can get close to him without raising suspicion."

"Third, janitors have access to almost every office. I can move around freely without anyone questioning me."

The man in black nodded. "That makes sense. But how do you plan to gain his trust?"

Angkor smirked. "That's where you come in."

"What do you mean?"

Angkor leaned forward. "Give me the list of spies you've placed in Lin Beifan's company. I'll hand it over to him. That way, he'll see me as his most loyal subordinate!"

The man in black's expression darkened.

Angkor chuckled. "What's there to hesitate about? Those people are already exposed. Instead of letting them rot, why not let them serve one final purpose? It's a win-win, isn't it?"

The man in black grimaced. "I can't make this decision. I need to consult the boss."

"Go ahead," Angkor said, brimming with confidence.

At Longya Capital Headquarters

Zhao Tian considered the situation.

The spies had likely already been compromised. If so, they were of no further value.

But if Angkor could successfully infiltrate Lin Beifan's inner circle, that would be worth far more.

"Agree to his request!" Zhao Tian finally said.

The man in black turned to Angkor. "Our boss has agreed. Happy cooperation!"

Angkor grinned. "Happy cooperation!"

The man in black continued, "Give me your bank account. I'll transfer the first payment immediately. If you prove your worth, there will be more money in the future!"

Angkor sneered inwardly.

They think a little money will buy me?

But he didn't mind—it was all part of his plan.

He casually provided his bank details. A moment later, 500,000 yuan was transferred to his account.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Both parties smiled.

Then Angkor asked casually, "By the way, who is your boss?"

The man in black remained tight-lipped. "That's classified. If you prove yourself, the boss might meet you in person one day."

Angkor nodded, but his eyes glowed with amusement.

As if I don't know.

Dragon King Zhao Tian—so dramatic, always parading around with his men in black, as if begging to be noticed.

In my past life, he and Lin Beifan were mortal enemies. Lin Beifan utterly destroyed him.

But in this life… it seems they've met much earlier.

That's fine by me.

After all, only Dragon King Zhao Tian has the power to challenge Lin Beifan.
