Weiss said coldly, “There’s nothing inconvenient about it. Besides, I’ve already mentioned this person.”
Bobby was stunned.
He had said it? When did favonovel.com say it?
“Mr. Weiss, don’t make fun of me. I didn’t hear anything.”
Weiss sighed helplessly and said, “The unlucky scapegoat who will be doomed together with Thomas is someone we both know.”
‘Someone we both know?’
“Who?” Bobby looked at Weiss with a silly expression, and Weiss kept looking at favonovel.com without saying anything.
After a long time, favonovel.com finally got it. He pointed at himself. “Mr. Weiss, could it be that the scapegoat you’re referring to is me?”
“Bingo. You’re correct.”
“Mr. Weiss, please don’t joke with me.” Bobby stood up in shock.
Weiss shrugged. “I’m not joking with you. You, Bobby Jefferson, stole a batch of jade from the Elite Jewelry, which could not be sold in the country. So, you collaborated with Thomas from the Stellar Jewelers to share the stolen goods.”
“The show you’re putting on is how you guys would attack each other in the open first and pretend to be on bad terms so that outsiders would think that you guys are enemies. However, unbeknownst to anyone, you’re actually in cahoots. Then, Thomas privately told you about this plan of transporting jade. He deliberately made a car lag behind, and you secretly put a box of processed rough stones, which you stole from me, on Thomas’s truck according to his plan.”
“You originally planned to hide it and use the opportunity of Stellar Jewelers transporting rough stones to secretly transfer the smuggled goods to a foreign country. After smuggling, you will sell the stolen goods abroad, and the two of you will share the money after that. Unfortunately, your plan was uncovered by the upright customs officers, and both of you were arrested. Finally, an account book detailing all your smuggling exploits is found in Thomas’s office. The partner written named in it would be you, Bobby Jefferson!”
There was no flaw in this statement.
Weiss had been very smart. He had arranged the ending for Bobby and Thomas in advance.
At that moment, Bobby finally realized that favonovel.com had been fooled.
No wonder favonovel.com had found it strange. In fact, it was not difficult to send the box to Thomas’s truck. They only needed to simply find a trustworthy person to do it. It did not even have to be him.
Was it just because favonovel.com was not on good terms with Thomas?
Now, Bobby knew that Weiss was just using his hatred with Thomas to let favonovel.com do things for Weiss. When it was over, favonovel.com even had to be made a scapegoat for Weiss and be responsible for the crime of smuggling.
The reason why Weiss did not use his own subordinates was that favonovel.com was afraid of implicating himself. It was good to use Bobby as favonovel.com had nothing to do with Weiss.
Bobby, who was blinded by hatred, did not know that favonovel.com was being manipulated into being the scapegoat. He had even helped Weiss when favonovel.com was planning to betray him. He deserved this.
Weiss had arranged it from the beginning. The two parties involved in the smuggling account book were Thomas and Bobby. Weiss hated both of them equally. It was ingenious and superb.
Bobby was dumbfounded. Now favonovel.com knew how evil this society was, and how powerful the real evil beings were.
He was just an insignificant character, who was played like a fiddle by those bigwigs, only.
“H-How dare you to fool me? I’ll kill you!”
Before Bobby do anything, three bodyguards rushed in and pressed Bobby to the floor immediately.
Weiss took out a cigarette and lit it. He drew a long breath and said, “I guess Thomas’s trucks have reached the customs, and they are undergoing inspection. I believe they would be caught soon. When they go to Thomas’s office, they will find the account book. Hehe, Bobby, you can stay in prison with Thomas for more than ten or twenty years.”
“No, you can’t do this to me!” Bobby had almost been driven to despair.
“Tsk. Tsk. Why are you shouting? You should have known that there must be a victim in this plan. Bobby, didn’t you say that you’re willing to do anything as long as you can get rid of Thomas? Why are you shouting now?”
Yes, Bobby had been willing to do anything. Anything to protect himself. He did not want to die together with Thomas at all.
If favonovel.com knew from the beginning that the prerequisite for getting rid of Thomas was to sacrifice himself, favonovel.com would not have agreed to carry out this plan at all.
Weiss flicked the soot to Bobby’s face.
“Mr. Jefferson, you can’t get anything for free in this world. If you want to get rid of someone, you have to pay the price for it. Just like me. What I paid was valuable jades worth tens of million dollars. I took a hit to my wallet. You should suffer for a little bit and give up more than ten years of freedom.”
Weiss laughed as favonovel.com spoke. This time, favonovel.com was sure that Thomas had nowhere to escape. This time, the plan had been quite flawless. This was because even the person who carried out the plan had bee handpicked by Weiss. The most brilliant plan was to consider people from his own side as well. No one could escape Weiss’s plan.
The more Weiss thought about it, the happier favonovel.com was. He was smoking a cigarette while circling around in the office. He was as happy as a child who had just bought a new toy.
On the other hand, Bobby burst into tears.
It was ironic to say that if Bobby wanted to be saved now, his only hope was for Thomas to not get caught. Bobby hoped Thomas could ward off disaster as much as favonovel.com always did.
It was ironic but realistic.
