Chapter 63 - Collaboration II

Even she and her father would take that role in the future she must not let it be shown to the others. Their party was not strong enough to topple the old man.

Guan Gao Huan smirked inwardly as he saw the panicked came to Wuyue. He was there when this sparrow tried to act like a phoenix. Her greedy eyes could not escape in his eyes. This kind of person coming to him had only one purpose- that was to curry his favor and use him.

But why would they let him? Coming to him was akin as coming to the lion's den.

Besides, this greedy girl looked like she wanted to steal the position of his fiance.

And what his fiances have. Was his.

Can anyone take it away from him?

He was not that kind of person.

"Ms. Xiong, don't be polite of me. I'm in the wrong." He apologetic said.

Wuyue was sweating now. How could she answer? If she accepts it, the conversation would be finished but the elders had ears. They would undoubtedly hear about this exchange per word. She would be reprimanded for representing the whole Xiong family. But if she denied it, this sly man would surely take this conversation long and would refuse to let her go.

'Ahh! I thought he is a dumb man! '

But she was wrong. This man could not be played. There was only one thing left now. If they could not use him, maybe a collaboration could suffice.

"Wuyue, would not dare. The buyer only came from the second branch. I'm here not just to greet young master Gao Huan. Could master Gao Huan did not remember me?" Wuyue takes a step forward as she gave him her best smile.

"We are in the same class in preschool. Unfortunately, you left Paris before we enter grade school. And I never have seen you after that time until now." Wuyue looked at Gao Huan up and down. Then back at his face.

"You really changed. Not only your behavior at that time, even your appe--"

"Young miss Wuyue must miss those times. Why not I invite you for a drink and reminisced that past?" Gao Huan smiled gently. As his eyes flashed darkly.

Wuyue did not notice it. She was confused for a moment as she studied Gao Huan closely.

But when she heard they would talk privately she was escalated.

She knew it! Using their acquaintance in the past could carry his favor.

She answered immediately.

"Of course. There's no reason for me to decline. It is good to talk about our childhood memories." Wuyue smiled as she was lead by Gao Huan to the farthest table.

It was true that Wuyue and Gao Huan were in the same class in preschool. Wuyue remembered it correctly since his father always told her to befriends those who had an exceptional background. And Gao Huan as a Guan was of course noticed by her. She tried to befriend him a few times but the timid and shy young boy was aloof.

Wuyue furrowed her brows as questions after questions filled her mind. Her attention at that time was in the two boys who had Chinese blood and could be heirs in the future. So she watched their every move and have a little understanding of their behavior.

But the Guan Gao Huan standing before her...

How could a person change so much?

It must probably ten years ago. But could eyes change color? Wuyue remembers correctly that his eyes were only light brown close to golden...but not that golden.

She was about to ask it when Gao Huan gestured to the seat in front of him.

"After you."

Wuyue smiled sweetly and sat.

She began to open her mouth for her scripted pleasantries when Gao Huan beat him to it.

"So what Ms. Wuyue wanted to talk about? I know you just not come to me to talk about the past, aren't we?" Gao Huan said as his usual smile was gone.

He who had acted gentle in front of others had his own bottom line.

Do not touch his past.

He was a little annoyed someone knows that Gao Huan.

And it was a miscalculation in his part that this greedy girl knew him.

'Let's see what this girl has on her sleeve...'

Wuyue's smile faltered a bit. She did not expect this guy to change 180°. Since he wants to be direct what's the need to act for?

So Wuyue drops her smile and rereachesor her pouch.

The original plan was to befriend this guy and have a private meeting for another day. She even planned to seduce him. But unfortunately, he was not what he was before. She was good playing at that timid and shy guy, not this kind of man who was two-faced and unpredictable.

' Never mind...as long as we come to this. '

She gave him a piece of paper.

"I know master Gao Huan has many plans in the future. My father and I have a great network that knows every nook and cranny of this industry. Your company has just been opened. I know you have many connections and probably doesn't need our service. But this..." Wuyue pointed at the address of the paper.

"Can your Guan mighty name ready to be tarnished because of this? Dirty work needs a dirty person. And our network has many of those.." Wuyue said suggestively.

Gao Huan just narrowed his golden eyes.

He must admit their network was great. He just invested in a black market recently, and they already got news of that? So fast.

He smirked. It looks like he needs to strengthen his defenses.

"And what you will gain by collaborating with me?"

Gao Huan knows that there are many benefits to work with him.

But seeing the address where his man met the people in the black market, he knew that this duo works hard and was prepared beforehand. It was not just simple collaboration.

Wuyue smiled.

"It is true that master Gao Huan is a genius." Wuyue then flips the paper, at the back another address was written.

"Let's meet here. It is more convenient to talk about our dreams and goals to a private place." With that Wuyue stand up and left Gao Huan.

Gao Huan took the note and crumpled it.

A dark glint in his eyes.

He then reached for his phone and dialed #1.

"...." other side of the phone.

Gao Huan laughed as his friend was always not the one who speaks first.

"Hello. How are you? I'm fine. But wanted to kill someone."

"....."

Gao Huan laughed again.

"But...I will not do it today. You have to compensate me. The man you hired last time left a trail."

"....."

"So for compensation, I need you to background check on someone."

"....."

".Xiong De and Xiong Wuyue...I want to know every dirty secret of them. And their connections. How far, how wide."

Finally, the other side spoke.

"A Xiong....that will be difficult. My service is not for free and I don't offer compensation."

"It's your fault they managed to find a hole on me. Besides, if I'm satisfied, I'll help you expand your territory to the north..without your father knowing. How is it?"

".....no. I can do it by myself."

Gao Huan sighed. He was getting annoyed. So he poked on his weakness.

"I heard your brother got out? Seems your Old man managed to get him. And you know what I've heard from my Old man? "

The other side was silent. Gao Huan smirked triumphantly.

"Heard that he will enroll in my school. He was actually enrolled in the first place. He will attend the second term. Want me to be your eye? You are still in Europe and not have time to take care of your brother."

"..."

After a while, the cold voice spoke.

"I'll manage him. Just do what you want. I'll take care of my business. I'll send you what I can by next week."

The cold voice was about to end the call when Gao Huan spoke again.

"One more thing..." Gao Huan was looking at the figure in white blue hanfu who just come out from the comfort room.

He remembered the frightened look of the girl earlier.

"Search everything from the young miss of Xiong, Xiong Zhi..."

Gao Huan knows with a formidable team from that friend of his, he could do a background check even from the heiress of the Xiong.
