Chapter 405 - 403: Using Each Other For Their Own Benefits
Meanwhile, inside the room, the woman looked at Jin Jie with affection.
"Wake up. I'm here now." She said as she grabbed Jie's hand.
Just then, the main doctor in charge in treating J's wound entered the room with his medical report. He's a young doctor and by the looks of it, they knew each other and was pretty close.
"How is he James?"
"The patient had already passed the critical stage, Amelia." He said.
"That's good!" Relief was evident on her face.
"Yes. Anyways, I have heard that he's finally back."
"I have heard the news, too." She said with a sigh.
"I'm sure he'd come looking for you. After all, you're his granddaughter."
"I have heard that he's been looking for him, too." James added as he stood beside her.
"I know." James looked at Amelia and tried to read what's on her mind. Of all the years that he knew her, he still failed to read what's on her mind.
So he decided to got up and checked Jie.
"If nothing happens to him, he'll wake up any hour by now." He said while checking on Jie.
He then ruffled Amelia's hair and said, "Look at you. You're already grown up."
"Shut it!" She said in annoyance.
James only giggled as he heard her annoyed tone.
But then her expression shifted and told James, "Thanks James. For your help."
"Don't thank me. I'm only doing the right thing that my dad had failed to do so years ago."
As she heard him, her face turned sad for James.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't worry. The most important thing now is for you to not forget your medication. You'll need it to control the side effects."
Meanwhile, back in Su Ying's side...
Su Ying was sitting on his leather seat with his eyes closed.
He then heard the door opened and he heard footsteps.
Just then, the footstep stopped and Su Ying opened his eyes. He then looked towards the direction where the footstep stopped.
He looked at the person wearing the familiar black cloak. The same cloak that the Big Boss whom Frederick and Francais had been wearing.
Just then, then the person pulled back the hood of his cloak revealing himself.
If Nathan was in the same room, he'd surely recognize the man. Because he was none other than his half-brother: Bai Longwei.
After revealing his face, he then kneeled down in front of him.
"It's a pleasure to finally see you, Sir Su."
"Stand up." Su Ying said and Longwei did.
"I have heard that you're after Nathan's head?"
"Yes. Why? Are you going to stop me and save your brother Longwei?"
Longwei could not hold back his scoff as he heard Su Ying.
"If there's anyone in the world who hated him, it's me!" After all, he had taken away what was rightfully his.
He had been waiting for this moment to get his revenge.
"Then, what are you doing here?"
"I want to kill him." He didn't hold back on his request making Su Ying to be interested.
"Tell me Longwei. How many years have you been under my wing?"
"Three years now Sir Su. But within that two years, I have learned many things from the rest. I'm confident that I can defeat him!" He was very determined.
"Hmmm." Su Ying seemed to be in deep thoughts.
"Well, okay. I'll give you this chance. Should you fail me, I'll take your head instead." Su Ying then observed his expression and he was satisfied to see that there's no shift on his expression.
"You can go. If you bring me his head, I'll assure you that I'll give you everything that he owns."
It was enough motivation for Longwei.
As Longwei left the room, he heard his phone ringing.
When he saw that it was unregistered, he still answered it anyways.
"Sir Su!"
"Francais is this you?" Su Ying asked him after hearing the familiar voice. And then, his expression became friendly.
"Yes, it's me Sir Su! Welcome back!" Francais sounded genuinely happy while greeting him.
"Thank you brat! How are you?" From how Su Ying asked him, it seems like they were pretty close together.
"Well, I'm good! The plan's running smoothly, Sir Su." Francais started boasting.
"Really. That's good! So are you trying to tell me that that d*mn b*st*rd still has no idea of our plan?"
"Yes, Sir Su!" He said with pride.
"Good! Anyways, how's Sarah?"
"The big boss?"
"You're calling my daughter that nickname?" Somehow, Su Ying was surprised to hear that.
"Yes. She had no complaints whatsoever. Anyways, she's fine. Don't worry Sir Su, only me knew about her real identity as the big boss. I have also trained her well as what you told me before you left." Francais reassured.
"She had not called me yet. Do you have any idea where she is?" Su Ying asked him.
"She's probably on her lab, Sir Su."
"Okay. Don't tell her that I'm going to visit her. I want to surprise my daughter." Su Ying reminded her.
"Oh. I'm sure she'll like it!"
Just then, Su Ying sighed. "What's the matter Sir Su! You should be celebrating after finally returning back to the outside world!"
"How can I celebrate when my grandson's missing?"
As he heard Jin Jie's name, Francais' expression suddenly changed. After all, he had done something to Jin Jie in the past. And he was pretty sure that Su Ying would take back at him.
"Oh! What happened to him, Sir Su?"
"He fell on the water after the KSA agents chased after him." He could feel that Su Ying was burning in rage.
"Oh no! I wish he's still safe." But in reality, he was actually cursing for Jin Jie to die.
"If you have any idea where Nathan Bai is, let me know!" Su Ying didn't forget to inform him.
"Why Master? What did he do to you this time?"
"Not to me. But to Jin Jie." Francais didn't ask why since it didn't concern him anyways.
"I know where he is. Do you want me to bring him to you?" He decided to not hide from him where Nathan's whereabouts was.
Su Ying got up from his seat and seriously asked, "Where is he?"
"In Italy. I have him as my captive." He simply said.
"Don't let him escape. I'll go there."
"Okay, Sir Su! I'll be waiting. But handing him over to you is not for free, Sir Su."
"You stinky brat! How much!"
"Half billion dollars, Sir Su."
Su Ying's lips twitched. "Are you trying to rob me off in broad daylight?!"
"Oh no! You have mistaken, Sir Su. The man is worth more than that." Which was true. With all of Nathan's assets combined, he's more than a billion dollars.
"Okay. Expect a money transfer after I kill him." Ha if Francais thought that he'd let his guard down just because they were good friends, he's wrong.
"As expected of you, Sir Su!" Francais laughed and Su Ying followed on the other line.
In their line of field, there's no such thing as organic friendship. What matters to them both were gain and benefits.
It's all about the money and power. Friends could be the worst enemies.
After talking for a little bit, Su Ying and Francais ended the call.
Francais looked at his phone screen and scoffed in disdain.
He really thought that Su Ying won't be able to escape from the situation he was in. It turned out he proved him wrong.
Now that Su Ying's back, he had to be more careful with his plan.
If Mr. Alinsky was a calculative man. Su Ying was the worst and far more dangerous.
He'd make sure that he'd be sitting on top of the pyramid when everything's over.
