Chapter 40
Silver Palm Cafe, customers came in one after another after the chaos was cleaned up. After dusk fell, the flow of customers at Silver Palm returned to completely normal levels. Mo Xi Yao sat in her office with a thoughtful expression on her face, as email after email popped out continuously on her computer screen.
The Luo Group officially announced its bankruptcy, and Mo Xi Yao's worries were half over. However, the other half seemed to be more complicated, as the background of Yishan Golf Club was Yishan Corporation in Japan. Although this financial group could only be considered third-rate in Japan, it had been deeply rooted for many years, making it difficult to uproot it solely through business means.
Of course, Chu Yan was not clear what Mo Xiuyao thought in her heart, and her best friend Wan Caoni was also confused. Mo Xiuyao's move to destroy the Luo Enterprise Group was understandable, but why did she make such a big move against a small Japanese financial group?
"Lu Kai won't give up easily, he might even resort to some despicable means to target Silver Palm, and you, Mo Xiaojie. Are you thinking of a way to put an end to this once and for all?" Wan Caimei said with excitement in her eyes, the implication of her words was clear: the only way to achieve "once and for all" was to silence Lu Kai forever, otherwise there would be no such thing as "once and for all".
"Let me think about it again." Mo Xiuyao was still a kind-hearted woman by nature, even if she hated Luo Kai to death in her heart, but she lived in the real world and killing people was really far away from her. She wasn't Wan Cai Ni or Chu Yan, so she didn't have the ruthless decisiveness of taking lives lightly.
"Alright, don't worry about it anymore, leave it to me. You just focus on your own things." Chu Yan said with a smile as he looked at Mo Xiuyao's contemplative expression.
"Lu Kai's group has announced bankruptcy, and the crimes he committed have been investigated. Now, as long as Lu Kai's physical condition allows it, the court will summon him for trial. At that time, he can only spend the rest of his life in prison honestly. So, you two don't do anything impulsive." Mo Xi Yao looked at her two good friends in front of her, with a very relaxed expression on her face. Of course, what she said was not unreasonable, on the premise that Lu Kai could actively indicate that he had no physical problems. Otherwise, he would be able to pretend to be ill and stay in the luxurious ward with 24-hour police surveillance forever.
"Alright, as you wish." Mo Xiuyao's expectation was such that Chu Yan didn't see the need to object, but judging from his understanding of Luo Kai, he probably wouldn't be content with this outcome. As for what he would do about it, that was hard to say.
"Oh, right, Xiuyao, Chuyan, I might be leaving. I received a notice from headquarters yesterday, asking me to go back for a new task." After chatting for a while, Wancai Ni suddenly spoke up with some reluctance.
"Leaving so soon?" Mo Xiuyao's face was one of surprise, while Chu Yan's was one of expectation. "Interpol agents are like that, originally Jenny wasn't back in the country for a vacation, she had a mission on her hands, now that the mission is complete, naturally she should return to report, if I'm not mistaken, she might even get promoted, you should be happy for her!"
"Yes, I should have left this morning, but it's not that I'm reluctant to leave you, and I delayed for another day. By the way, I also bought a house, and after I leave, the house will be handed over to you to deal with. You must decorate it beautifully, otherwise, I'll stay at your home every day." Wan Caoni said, her expression somewhat melancholic, after all, it's not easy for good friends to meet once, so when mentioning leaving, although she felt she should be strong, in reality, there was still some sadness.
"Alright then, let's go out for dinner tonight and consider it a celebration for you." Mo Xiuyao said readily.
"OK, I'm going to eat Quanjude's roast duck." Wan Caoni naturally wouldn't be polite and directly reported her favorite dish. Chu Yan on the side was smiling at this pair of close friends, but in his heart he was thinking about what he would do next.
"You two chat for a while, I still have some things to do. If you need me to accompany you for dinner or drinks later, remember to call me." Chu Yan made up his mind and stood up to bid farewell, while Mo Xiuyao and Wan Caoni continued to gossip with each other. The two women always had a lot to talk about before parting ways.
After leaving the Silver Palm Coffee House, Chu Yan's first move was to dial Wild Donkey's phone number. This kid's current situation is the most suitable time for him to be used, and besides, Chu Yan didn't want to drag out the matter of North City District's Food Street any longer. Wild Donkey happened to be a good candidate to resolve this matter.
The phone was answered immediately, and the donkey's voice no longer had a hint of panic, replaced by a seemingly world-weary tone. "Boss, what's up? Give me orders."
"In Beicheng District's Food Street, I want to see you." Chu Yan said and hung up the phone. The Wild Donkey on the other end of the line was currently in Food Street. Lately, he had been so unlucky that he was drinking with a few close brothers. He was thinking that after they finished drinking, he would treat these brothers to one last spree before washing his hands clean and changing his ways, no longer being a hoodlum, because he was really too incompetent at it.
Half an hour later, Chu Yan's figure appeared at the entrance of Food Street. Not far away, on a street-side barbecue stall, seven or eight people were sitting there drinking beer wildly, and Ye Lu's green hair was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.
"Sit down, what's up?" Wild Donkey saw Chu Yan for the first time, although this guy was planning to wash his hands of gold, but Chu Yan had given him a sentence before, that is, he would give him a job, which made him quite interested in what kind of work Chu Yan could provide for him. After all, Chu Yan was a devil-like figure in his eyes.
"These are your trusted men?" Chu Yan sat down, smiling as he looked at the seven people around Wild Donkey, who were all shapes and sizes, but apart from their eyes which showed a gangster's disdain, their actual combat strength was really pathetic. With these guys, wanting to take over this street would be quite difficult.
"Yes, these are all my good brothers, we made it through together." When mentioning these people, Wild Donkey is still very proud in his heart. After all, these younger brothers were all brought up by him, no matter what their abilities were, their loyalty was always strong.
"What I want to say is very important, are you sure you want to share it with your brothers?" Chu Yan was relatively satisfied with Ye Lu's treatment of his brothers. This kid used to be no good thing, and now he still isn't a good bird, but the righteousness between brothers is indeed there.
"Go ahead, my business, there's nothing they can't hear." The wild donkey spoke bluntly without any hesitation. Chu Yan heard this and smiled, nodding his head. He picked up a bottle of beer, flicked the cap off with his thumb, and then tilted his head back to down it in one gulp.
"Clang!" The wine bottle was placed on the table, and Chu Yan's smile became even more captivating. "I want you to take over this street."
As soon as this was said, not only the wild donkey, but also several younger brothers under the wild donkey almost jumped up. Two of them who had never seen Chu Yan before even spat on one side and said, "Brother, didn't your brain get kicked by a donkey? Take over this street? Do you know who's in charge of this street? It's Zhao Ge!! Crazy Cow Zhao Ge!! That crazy guy could knock out a cow with one punch when he was young! Why should we take over someone else's territory? With just your mouth?"
"Shut the f**k up, Iron Egg!!" The wild donkey suddenly picked up a beer bottle and slammed it onto the little brother's head, then let out a nearly crazed roar!!
"Two donkeys!! What the hell do you want to do?!" The iron-headed egg, who was beaten and bleeding, wanted to pick up his stuff and rush at the wild donkey in anger. Several younger brothers nearby quickly pressed down on the iron-headed egg, then smiled awkwardly at Chu Yan and said "Sorry about that, he's had too much to drink. Don't mind him, we'll take him away now."
Three younger brothers dragged Iron Egg away, and Chu Yan didn't say anything. A hint of relief flashed across the face of Wild Donkey, who also felt a sense of relief in his heart. Although Iron Egg was taller and more robust than Chu Yan, he had just returned from his hometown and had no idea what kind of person Chu Yan was. If Chu Yan were to take action, Iron Egg would probably not be able to get out of bed for half a month. He hadn't forgotten that Ma Hua, the dead fat guy, was still lying in the hospital.
"What should I do?" The wild donkey knew that he had no capital to refuse, and if Chu Yan was telling the truth, this might be his chance to soar to great heights. Therefore, a hesitant reaction would not work; getting straight to the point was the best approach.
"What you need to do is very simple..." Chu Yan smiled as he looked at Ye Zi, and slowly began to speak...
……
Silver Palm Coffee House, before nightfall, a slender young female customer walked in, Tina led the customer to seat number seven and took her order before leaving.
The guest was less than 1.6 meters tall, estimated to weigh no more than 80 kilograms, wearing a brand new sportswear, with a light blue sports backpack in his arms.
After finishing the meal and sitting there, the girl's eyes became restless, with a tense and apologetic gaze, in short, a very complex gaze.
She glanced at the time, then looked around at the other customers, and finally gritted her teeth and slowly got up and walked towards the door. The light blue square sports backpack was placed under the table, and it was blocked by the tablecloth.
When Tina brought the dishes pointed by the girl to table seven, she found that the girl was gone. After turning around and not finding the girl, Tina was about to take the dishes back to the kitchen when she suddenly heard a pleasant ringing sound coming from under table seven.
Tina lifted the tablecloth and saw a light blue square sports bag. She opened the backpack and found a laptop quietly placed inside. Next to the laptop was a mobile phone, which was currently displaying an incoming text message ringtone.
"Open the laptop." There were only these few words in the text message, but they were enough to pique Tina's curiosity. Subconsciously, Tina opened the laptop, and what caught her eye was a row of bright green numbers on the screen!!
