Chapter 422 - 422: Negotiations Of Two Old Foxes

"You there, send that 'thing' back and come again! You have 5 seconds, otherwise, we will leave you here, as a gift to the police and those other guys.

The whole crowd of hooligans stopped as they started to look towards the guy that Eric had specified. They all were curious to know who was the idiot who didn't follow orders.

It was a burly guy with a big head, and a baseball bat in his hands. He truly didn't seem like the smartest of them all.

In fact, most probably he was the type of guy who would think that he had been smarter than anyone else while retrieving the gun.

He must have thought that Eric was just testing them with his words prior and that he wasn't really going to stop them from looting some things.

Unfortunately, he had thought wrong, but still, he couldn't exactly do what he was told to immediately so he tried to protest,

"Boss, this…"

"4!"

"But Boss…"

"3!"

The poor hooligan that was probably the first time he had felt so cold and fearful as Eric's aura spread in the surroundings, and he didn't dare to rebate anymore.

Just like vanishing smoke he quickly strode back, threw the 'thing' inside, and then got out to run after the leaving car.

He was lucky to have had gloves at that point and had acted quickly otherwise, he was bound to be left behind.

No one understood why Eric would suddenly put such a rule, but they knew that they had no other choice but to obey, nonetheless.

Right after the first target, quickly came the second, and after the second there was the third, the fourth, and finally the fifth.

In but two hours, 5 business companies belonging to Master Gao Jixie had been turned into nothing more but rubbles and were crowded by Police.

Normally there would be one of their own in the Police taskforce and they could deal with any event through his help.

But his job had suddenly jumped from zero to five, and he had been unable to secure all 5 areas of inspection.

What made matters worse was the fact that each of those 5 spots were only cover companies for dirty business in the surroundings.

As long as the police made a good investigation they would be able to quickly pull a good one against Gao Jixie, and he might even end up in prison for some time.

…

As something like this was happening to his companies, Gao Jixie was having a private discussion with his 'good' friend Weng Hao.

They were deeply discussing their 'cooperation' and future strategy to deal with Eric. Gao Jixie had already accepted to cover all the costs for dealing with Eric while leaving Weng Hao with the rest.

On top of that, he had even promised good collaboration in business after, and also a good reward of 600 million dollars for his 'good' friend.

"My 'good' friend you seem to be joking with me! I am not doing this for your money, I am doing this with the purpose of becoming family together.

Why don't we marry my youngest daughter to your son? She is no less than that sl*ut in appearance, and I am sure that she will take good care of your son in the future!

But if you truly feel that you should pay me somehow, just treat my daughter good, and give her a small share of your Group.

Like this, we will have stronger ties keeping us together!"

Gao Jixie was about to explode in anger for a few moments, but he still managed to control himself. He was the one in need, and he had to lower his head in front of that bastard.

To think that he was eyeing his Group's shares. Not only that but he was also offering his youngest daughter as a sacrificial lamb.

After all, even if he wanted to accept it or not, he was the person that probably knew best about his son's character and attitude.

He didn't doubt that his son had tried to violate Cui La, perhaps not even his wife did, but he still was standing on his son's side.

On the other hand, this disgusting and despicable trash was throwing his youngest daughter under the bridge, just so that could use her later again to pick up shares from his Group.

The extremes of parenting had never been clearer! One would help his son escape atrocities even if he was a demon, and the other would use his daughter as a little sacrificial lamb for his own benefits.

Still, Gao Jixie was left with no other choice but to accept these conditions at the moment as he said,

"Then let give you a hug in-law, from this moment on, our families will stand and fall by each other!"

"Hahahaha~! Very well said, in-law!"

Having reached a verbal agreement in principle, the two of them seemed to be in the best of moods, despite shamelessly cursing the other one inside their minds.

With the negotiations out of the way, they both decided to have a drink and took their Smartphones to see if there was anything new, only for their phones to ring like crazy.

'Ringg…, ringgg…, rinngg…'

Just as the two of them were having such a conversation, their Smartphones started ringing loudly and without stopping.

They were both receiving numerous messages in a short time, making the situation extremely weird and complicated.

Since something like this was going on, then it clearly meant that something important must have happened.

Opening and reading those messages, both of them had a clear shock on their faces. They didn't expect something like this.

Amidst the messages of Gao Jixie, there was the answer of Cui Xie towards his proposed arrangements, that made Gao Jixie boil in anger, but that wasn't all.

Not only was Cui Xie shot and in grave danger of his life, but there was also retaliation from his people towards Gao Jixie's business companies.

It hadn't been more than a few hours since they had started conversing, and yet it felt like a week or more had already passed. It was quite difficult for both of them to be able to accept the current situation.

But at the same time, the first thought in each of their minds was the same,

'This damn old fox has already acted!'

Gao Jixie was probably the one who was the angrier of the two, but he knew he didn't have time to linger on thoughts, and emotions, as he had to act quickly.

Once he thought of a quick plan of action, he looked towards Master Weng Hao and said,

"I never thought that I would have so much need of you so soon in-law, but can you send your contacts in the Police Department to take care of the crime locations?"

"Uh!? Yes, sure, sure!"

"Then I will thank you in advance! Now forgive me but I have some things to take care of!"

With that said, Gao Jixie immediately left the place, as he made his way towards the destroyed companies buildings.

Things were getting extremely complicated, and weird. Not only for him but for everyone else involved as well.

On the other hand, Master Weng Hao looked at the fading back of his new in-law with a complicated and weird look on his face.

It wasn't just about the fact of almost killing Cui Xie in such a short time, but also the interesting new possibilities of those companies.

As one of the Masters of Longgang City, it was almost impossible for Weng Hao to not know what those Companies were, and what he was getting himself involved with, and that made him happy.

…

As Master Weng Hao, and Gao Jixie were having that important meeting, Eric had already disappeared into thin air with the hooligans and was nowhere to be found.

In fact, different from what other people might think, he hadn't escaped from the city, quite on the opposite actually he was even closer to the enemy.

He had gone for a job position to the HR company of Gao Jixie's group of companies with the intention of becoming a cook, into Gao Jixie's mansion.

His CV was a truly thick stash of papers, and his face right now resembled a 40 to 50 years old man with a great complexion.

He was just like one of those Master Chef guys in the TV shows, and had all the possible required qualifications.

What's more, during the interview he intentionally mentioned that his specialty was the foods that helped in increasing the sexual prowess of those eating.

"After all, food is the main road to love!"

These were his exact words, as he even cast a special look to the lady questioning him. She didn't seem much impressed on first look, but he was certain that she was barely controlling herself from jumping to him.

After all, she was in her office, and it was inappropriate for her to act as if she felt at that point. She could only say with half a voice,

"Then I would love to try your specialty before making a decision, Mister Chen Gu!"

"But of course, it will be my pleasure, Miss Chu. How about tonight! I have admired Master Gao since I have heard of him and can't help but dream to work for him.

So, I don't want to lose this golden opportunity in front of me to fulfill this dream of mine, and I will make sure to give it my all tonight…"
