Chapter 2309 — The Car Is Gone

Local Expert did not mind. He was here to make money; following Wei Zhao up to the room, he sat down and asked impatiently, "Brother, what do you need me to do?"
"The car I drove here before has been stolen," Wei Zhao said. "You're Local Expert—can you help me find out where it went?"
"Oh? Car's been stolen? That Grand Cherokee of yours?" Local Expert still remembered Wei Zhao's car.
"That's the one," Wei Zhao said with a nod.
"Well now…" Local Expert furrowed his brow, then said, "Brother, if I may speak frankly, I can probably guess which gang took it. But a car stolen by them is basically gone for good… That Grand Cherokee of yours didn't look like much—not in great shape, not worth a lot. Are you sure you want to get it back?"
"The car means something special to me," Wei Zhao said.
"I see… But brother, I'm just being honest—this won't be easy to pull off…" Local Expert gave a bitter smile, clearly wary of something.
Wei Zhao saw what he was thinking but had no patience for lengthy explanations. He only wanted the answer as quickly as possible, so he said flatly, "Two hundred thousand! By tomorrow morning, I want to know exactly where the car went. Can you do it or not?"
"Hiss…" The price made Local Expert suck in a sharp breath.
A stolen Grand Cherokee like that—one that couldn't be legally transferred—would fetch maybe a hundred or two hundred thousand on the black market at most. Yet Wei Zhao had offered two hundred thousand just to locate it, which made it plain he truly cared about this car.
Still, as the saying goes: the timid starve, the bold feast. Digging up this information carried some risk, but two hundred thousand—Local Expert's heart couldn't help but race!
"OK!!!" Local Expert shot to his feet, face flushed with excitement. "Brother, rest assured—leave it to me. It'll be done by tomorrow morning for sure!"
"Good, I trust you!" Wei Zhao said as much, but inwardly he was not entirely sure whether Local Expert really had the ability to dig up news of his missing car.
Local Expert hurried out of the room in high spirits to mobilize his contacts, while Wei Zhao wanted only the news of the car's whereabouts, not its recovery—and for Local Expert, that was not too difficult a task.
"Is this car important?" Sun Jingyan had not expected Wei Zhao to spend two hundred thousand just to get the car back. She knew it had been modified and was well suited to long-distance driving, but a lost car was a lost car—surely there was no need to go to such lengths to recover it?
