“If only...”
If only he could find a powerful partner now, all of his problems will come to an end, and he could break free from Huo Yunting’s suppression, and may very well land a counter blow.
“Damn it!”
There was such a golden opportunity before him but he could not do anything about it.
Was he doomed to simply watch Huo Yunting grab the project under his own eyes, and then Xiangyuan finally destroyed under his incessant pressure?
No!
There has to be a way!
Xiang Jinxi cracked his head as he tried to come up with an idea, not knowing that aside from the tycoons of Jing City, there was also an illegal organization eyeing the project.
But due to their identity, they were destined to not be able to compete for the tender openly, and a man with blonde hair with a hideous scar on his face shook his head resignedly.
“Oh god, what a waste.”
At that moment, a strongly build Caucasian man in a suit walked in.
“Mr Bruce, there is a man named Lu looking for you. Said that he had an appointment.”
“Let them in.”
And very quickly a young man in mask and sunglasses walked in.
It was Lu Bai, and behind him was a similarly dressed man, probably a bodyguard.
“Hi Mr Bruce, good day.”
“Have a seat.”
Bruce sputtered out the Chinese words as his gaze landed on his face, before frowning.
Seeing that, Lu Bai took off his mask and sunglasses, exposing his handsome face.
He raised an eyebrow as he spoke in flawless English. “Mr Bruce, it always pays to be careful in our line of work no?”
“You’re certainly right.” Bruce nodded as he continued to eye him. “I heard from the call that you are looking to cooperate with me but now that the organization is destroyed, what makes you think I’ll agree to your request?”
“You got it wrong, I’m not looking for cooperation. Rather, I’m looking to make an exchange with you.”
Lu Bai smiled, as he said with confidence. “I know that you are eyeing the port project in Jing City, and I also know that you coming to Z Country from abroad, is to expand your operations here, making new businesses.”
“Go on.”
“I can introduce you to someone, and as long as you work with him, once he secures the project, you’ll have the benefit of using the port facilities, and then, your drugs, weapons and antique business will have a smuggling route.”
Lu Bai continued on at his pace, “And once done, I want you to promise me that you will get me out of Z Country, and get me a legitimate identity overseas.”
Upon hearing his plans being pried apart one by one by Lu Bai, Bruce’s expression dimmed.
“Seems like Mr Lu do know quite a bit.”
“Mr Bruce, believe me when I say I mean you no harm.” Lu Bai’s expression was sincere. “As a fugitive, I only want my safety and my freedom, as for the rest, screw them.”
“...” Bruce pondered for a moment before nodded. “Alright, deal.”
“Thank you.”
“So...” Bruce asked as he looked at Lu Bai. “Who’s this partner that you will be introducing me to?”
“The CEO of Xiangyuan Corp, Xiang Jinxi.”
Bruce had only came to the country barely over a month, and everything was still in its preliminary stage, so he was still unfamiliar with the local politics and factions.
“I’ve heard that name somewhere before.”
“He’s a capable person, but he had ran into troubles recently. So unless you extend a helping hand to him now, you will miss the chance to work with him forever.”
