From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Chapter 1137: Showdown, It’s All Mine

He knew those tribes were armed, and on top of that, the natives were unreasonable. Rescuing people from their grasp completely unharmed would be impossible without some serious power.

At the very least, you’d have to intimidate the tribe’s "warriors."

"Why are you asking me? The man himself is right here, just ask him!" Su Chen had only eaten a little that morning and was genuinely getting hungry. Besides, he didn’t know the exact details of how Raymond had pulled off the rescue either.

After Raymond rescued Wu Jing and his group, he had simply given Su Chen the gist of what happened during his report, so Su Chen didn’t know the specific operational details.

At Su Chen’s words, everyone turned to look at Wu Jing. Xiao Chen was no exception; the curiosity in his eyes was practically written all over his face.

Wu Jing understood Su Chen’s unspoken message: he could speak freely. Clearing his throat with a light cough, he began, "Actually, it wasn’t all that dramatic. The people who came to rescue us just brought a convoy, and the tribal chief handed us over right away."

"A convoy? That’s impossible!" Xiao Chen immediately shot down the idea. "Those tribes in South Africa have dozens, even hundreds, of armed men. There’s no way they’d be scared witless by a single convoy!"

"Ahem... this convoy was a bit on the large side!" Wu Jing said awkwardly.

Xiao Chen’s brow furrowed even deeper. "Large? How large are we talking? Don’t tell me they had twenty or thirty armored vehicles?"

"Over a hundred!"

The room fell silent in an instant. Aside from the sound of Su Chen eating his snacks and sipping tea, everyone stared at Wu Jing. Even Xiao Chen was stunned by the number.

Over a hundred armored vehicles. That was a staggering number. A force of that size could practically run rampant across South Africa. Besides the government, who could possibly contend with them? It was no wonder the tribal chief had handed Wu Jing and the others over immediately upon seeing such a display.

"That’s impossible. Who in South Africa has the resources to deploy over a hundred armored vehicles? Unless... unless it’s the IPS Security Company, which operates all over Africa..."

Xiao Chen whipped his head around to look at Su Chen, who was still eating his snacks. Then, glancing at Wu Jing’s expression, a realization dawned on him. The convoy that rescued Wu Jing had to have come from the IPS South Africa branch!

’But what was Su Chen’s connection to the IPS Security Company? If he had simply hired them for a rescue, there would be no reason to be so secretive. Thinking back to Wu Jing’s expression earlier, it was clear that Su Chen’s connection to the company was significant.’

’That had to be why Wu Jing was so tight-lipped, refusing to discuss what had happened in Africa. He had only dared to speak up after getting Su Chen’s tacit approval.’

He took a few large gulps from his teacup, then looked at Su Chen and asked, "Su Chen... don’t tell me you’re a shareholder in IPS!"

As soon as the words were out, both Jiangyang and Yin Zheng looked toward Su Chen. Only Wu Jing remained perfectly calm—he was, after all, the one who already knew the truth.

"Mmm, IPS is mine." Now that it had come to this, Su Chen saw no reason to hide it.
