Chapter 23: Intrigues
I frowned and said what about business cards?
The Filipino maid said that the business card was with the housekeeper, and she came to inform me.
When I heard this, I nodded, and said you can reply, let the guest wait, and I will get up and wash up.
The Filipino maid left, I woke up Qu Fatsan on the bed, explaining the matter, the guy stretched his waist, and said that he didn't have to think about it, it must be that Francis, it is estimated that he did not expect that he had just provided the news to us Not long after, Xu Ming's nest was brought here, and he was a little frightened, so he rushed over.
I frowned and said how did he know we were here?
Qu Fatsan laughed and said that the two of us showed up yesterday, and there will always be rumors of the past, and those people will be in Hong Kong Island for a long time, if they can't get this little news, then it is really strange.
I said in that case, why don't you come with me to meet that guy?
Qu Fatsan yawned, and said forget it, I didn't wake up from sleep, I have to go back to sleep, you go and talk to him, just don't be tricked by him.
I said you better follow me, or I don't know the bottom of my heart.
Qu Fatsan glared at me, and said that even that self-righteous stupid Boi is also worthy of my attention? Come on, just come back and report to me.
He turned around and went to sleep, snoring, I couldn't push it, there was no way, I had to change my clothes, and after washing, I came to the study on the first floor.
Guests are already waiting inside.
Walking into it, as Qu Fatsan expected, Bacon Francis was sitting inside, and when he saw me coming in, he immediately stood up and greeted him: "Mr. Lu, hello." ”
I shook his hand and said, "I didn't expect it to be Mr. Francis, how did you find here?" ”
Francis smiled and said that Mr. Lu made a move yesterday, shocking the entire Hong Kong Island, and we naturally heard that you were in Mr. Li Jiahu's mansion, so we came to visit.
I'm downplaying it, and I'm saying it's just a little thing.
I ushered him into a seat, Francis looked at me intently, and then said seriously: "I really didn't expect that Mr. Lu's actions would be so fast, I just reminded you before, no one has returned to Hong Kong Island, you have already killed you, and directly wiped out Li Zhiyuan's efforts for so many years, it is really surprising - Gao Ming, it is really thunder and fire, violent as the wind......
I said that it is not enough to talk about everything, Li Zhiyuan's industry is not only in Hong Kong Island, it is said that treasure islands, casinos, Japan and Southeast Asia are all very powerful.
I went around in circles with him, saying some things that were not salty or light, and after chatting for a while, Francis suddenly asked, "I don't know why Mr. Lu suddenly did something to Li Zhiyuan?" ”
I narrowed my eyes, knowing that this question was probably Francis's intention, right?
I looked at Francis, thinking that the RAND Corporation, and the Brotherhood behind it, might still have a connection with Xu Ming's Truth Almighty Teaching, otherwise Xu Ming would have grown so rapidly under their noses, and something was wrong to say.
After being silent for a while, I looked into Francis's eyes and said, "Since Mr. Francis knows that I live in Li Sheng's house, he should also know that my relationship with the Li family is right. ”
Francis nodded and said that Mr. Li Jiahu's daughter is a good friend of your cousin, and Mr. Li was once Lu Zuo's partner.
I nodded, and said that Li Zhiyuan had gone a little too far this time, and he actually wanted to do something to Mr. Li, which was a bit of a challenge to the bottom line, no matter whether he was the leader of the Truth Almighty Sect, or what was the background behind it, but he forgot one thing, the Lu family, even if there was only one left, could not be provoked.
Francis said that in other words, the reason why you targeted Li Zhiyuan was because he moved Mr. Li Jiahu, right?
Of course not.
The main reason why we want to find trouble with Li Zhiyuan, or Xu Ming, is that there are many historical factors before, which have made us and him form an endless situation.
But I naturally wouldn't tell Francis and Pan about these things, so I nodded and said yes.
After receiving my affirmative answer, Francis didn't ask anything more, talked to me a few words, invited me to visit their company or something, and after giving me a refusal, he got up and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he said to me, "Does Mr. Lu know where Li Zhiyuan fled?" ”
I said I heard that it was the Philippines?
Francis is right, Li Zhiyuan has been working hard to operate overseas bases in addition to Hong Kong Island in recent years, and the Truth Almighty Church located in Luzon Island in the Philippines has become a climate, attracting a large number of locals and Southeast Asian cultivators, which has enabled him to grow up rapidly, I think after experiencing this turmoil, he is estimated to have retreated in Luzon in the past few years and will not leave again.
I said, do you know his exact address?
Hearing this, Francis was stunned for a moment, and then said with some surprise: "Are you ready to chase and kill directly?" ”
I smiled and said how could it be, just ask.
Francis breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled a note out of his pocket and handed it to me, saying that his anchor was on it - as I said before, we at the RAND Corporation were very sincere, and hoped that we could become friends.
I took the note, which was a series of English letters, I didn't look at it much, and said with a smile: "Being able to maintain a good relationship with your company is what I hope to see, and I hope to be able to maintain it all the time." ”
Francis asked another question, by the way, you have a good relationship with Lin Qiming, the director of the Southeast Bureau of Religion?
I smiled noncommittally, saying that I knew each other.
Francis said with some seriousness: "Remember what I said before, they can't be trusted at the top, keep their distance, if they turn their faces then, things will get out of hand......"
After Francis left, Shelley came to me and asked, "How did you know this man?"
I said what's wrong?
Xue Rui was a little serious, saying that this person I have known for a long time, he was very famous in North America, he is a senior observer of an American think tank, he was born in a diplomatic family in the United States, and he is a Ph.D. in international relations from Harvard, an Ivy League university......
Hearing what Xue Rui said, I couldn't help but whistle.
I didn't expect this Francis to have such a cow Boi background, and he graduated from a prestigious school.
Harvard, such a prestigious school is really an existence that we need to look up to for scumbags like us, and I also understand Xuerui's reminder, knowing that this guy Francis has a high IQ, and every word he says to me has a deep meaning, as if anything can be used as a tool and chess piece for him.
It's just that I'm afraid that no matter how smart he is, he can't guess that Qu Fatsan and I will directly defeat Xu Ming in such a short period of time, and have to leave the Philippines.
Of course, the reason why this is possible is actually because we borrowed Lin Qiming's momentum.
I didn't hide much from Xue Rui, I told her about my acquaintance with Francis, and after listening to my words, Xue Rui frowned, saying that they wanted to recruit Lu Zuo and Xiao Keming?
I said yes, I hope I can help with the matchmaking.
Xue Rui hurriedly shook her head and said absolutely not, although she didn't know what their real purpose was, but these people were very hostile to the central government, and they definitely had ulterior motives.
I said this, I know, but the final decision is still in my cousin's hands, so I will tell him how to judge it, it is still in his hands.
Xue Rui suddenly asked, "Brother Lu Zuo, where is he now?" ”
I hesitated, but I told the truth: "He should be in Tibet by now......"
When Xue Rui heard it, she didn't ask any more questions.
She knew Lu Zuo's current situation, so knowing too much information was actually a burden for her.
I went back to the room, Qu Fatsan had been sleeping, and only got up at noon, I talked to him about the conversation with Francis, Qu Fatsan was silent for a while, and suddenly asked me: "Hey, you said we should go to the Philippines to have fun?" ”
Yes?
I was stunned for a moment and said, why are you going?
Qu Fatsan smiled and said that he wasn't going to eat bananas and mangoes anyway - I mean, while you are sick and want you to die, let's kill you directly, find a chance to kill Xu Ming, never suffer in the future, and let everyone know the fate of offending us?
I hesitated for a moment and said that chasing three thousand miles is too fierce, right?
Qu Fatsan said that if it weren't for the fierceness, how could anyone be afraid of us?
I didn't answer right away, but I said think about it and deal with this side first......
After lunch, Ben Tsaiguang arrived with Xiaoxiang as scheduled, and I led him to meet Xuerui and let them talk alone in the room, and at this time Lin Qiming called the phone to the mansion.
I went over to pick up the phone, and Lin Qiming told me that Li Zhiyuan's relevant account had been sealed yesterday, only to find that there was no money in the accounts here, and that guy had already transferred the money to a foreign account a long time ago.
Most of the businesses he stayed on Hong Kong Island were regular companies, and nothing from the managers to the staff below knew anything about him.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but curse.
It seems that this time it was not able to hurt the guy's bones......
Then Lin Qiming told me that a preliminary opinion had been reached on the matter of supporting Ben Tsaiguang and suppressing the gang forces left by Li Zhiyuan on Hong Kong Island, but before that, he needed to meet with the big brother Hutchison.
