Pulsatilla's call came very quickly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI got a call that night.

I thought he might contact me the next day or later, but it seemed that the fat man, though annoying, was still very cautious about his work.

The call was from one of Pulsatilla's men, and he listened in a very polite and cultured tone, not at all like the vulgar appearance of the gangsters I influenced. He just politely said to me and asked me if I would have time to have lunch with Mr. Seaver the next day.

After getting my affirmative answer, he happily told me the time and location, and thoughtfully asked me where I was staying and if I needed a car to pick me up.

I smiled faintly and said, "You tell Mr. Seaver that I will be there on time." Then he said goodbye and hung up.

I have moved out of the Dawson family's headquarters as planned, and I am staying with Yang Wei in the presidential suite of the Imperial Hotel in New York. After hanging up the phone, I smiled at Yang Wei and said lightly: "Honey, it seems that your husband will rebel again tomorrow." ”

The agreed location with Pulsatilla is at a very famous fine dining restaurant, located on the east side of the famous Fifth Avenue.

I left Yang Wei at the hotel and took Hansen with me.

The Pulsatilla looks the same as in the photo, looking very ordinary, except for the white hair. He had a handsome face, and he was full of the charm of a mature man in middle age, and he smiled at me when he looked at me from afar, and he smiled at me peacefully and beautifully—but it made me very uncomfortable. Because he didn't want to be a murderous gangster at all, but more like a successful company manager, or a pianist or something.

I suddenly felt that this pulsatilla in front of me might be a person of the same type as McDonson, but he seemed to be gentle and kind and personable, and he was indeed a terrible cold-blooded bastard in his bones!

"Hello Mr. Chen Yang, we have finally met." Pulsatilla smiled at me, and although he said it politely, he didn't mean to get up at all.

What makes me even more unhappy is that although he smiled very gently, I always felt that his smile was the kind of smile of a mild-tempered master to his minions - the kind that although he was kind, he was high in his bones!

"Mr. Seaver, I don't think it's too late for us to meet -- on the contrary, I think the moment is very appropriate." I said a word, and sat down slowly.

"Okay, let's have a good lunch." He didn't show any signs at all, but a man dressed in a manager's costume immediately walked over and humbly bowed his head and said, "Mr. Seaver, what do you need?" ”

"The same old way. Plus a good bottle of Porto, today I have a distinguished guest. Pulsatilla said lightly.

I casually looked at the menu and said, "Sallang steak, Marseille fish soup, foie gras, grilled snails." ”

Seaver smiled, "Looks like you have a good appetite. ”

I smiled and deliberately said something meaningful: "I've always had a good appetite, especially when faced with a lot of options. ”

Old Seaver smiled cunningly, deliberately pretended not to understand my words, and said casually: "This is a good habit, I heard that you Chinese eating habits attach great importance to dinner, but from a scientific point of view, eating too much dinner is too good for digestion, and lunch is the really most important meal." ”

Seaver waved his hand and sent the manager away like a fly.

I deliberately looked up and was surprised, "Mr. Seaver, do you usually eat here?" And it doesn't seem like you have a lot of retinues, with your status, is that too careless? ”

At this, I smiled maliciously, "You know, before I came here, we were still on a hostile side. Aren't you afraid that my coming here this time will be against you? ”

Seaver also smiled and said, "Mr. Chen Yang, I fully understand your question, in fact, there have been people who have been deceived by appearances before, thinking that there are hidden dangers in the security problems around me, and there are also some people who try to do something to me. ”

"Oh? And what about those people? ”

"It's all gone from this world." He smiled as if he was very kind, and his tone was flat: "I am a very careful person, and I will never tolerate his continued existence in this world if there is a little danger to me." ”

I nodded and didn't speak.

"What about you?" He looked at me and smiled with interest: "You gave me the note with your private phone number last night through my subordinates, what is the purpose of your meeting with me this time?" I noticed what you just said, you said that before you came here, we were still on a hostile position, so now that you are here, has the situation changed now? ”

At this time, a waiter brought the wine, and I gently and skillfully raised my glass, and bowed my chin, "I want to say that I have come for friendship." ”

With a clang, the two glasses collided together, and the crystal wine glass made a crisp and pleasant sound.

Pulsatilla smiled: "Well, I believe that your intentions are sincere, and what I want to know more is what kind of benefits can we both bring to the friendship with you?" Forgive me for being direct, in fact, in my philosophy it seems that we don't yet have the basis for that kind of true friendship. ”

The middle-aged man in front of me, who was full of charm and aristocratic atmosphere, holding a red wine glass and talking and laughing with me, was it the murderous drug trafficking king Pulsatilla?

For a moment, I even thought I was back in the past, as if I was sitting in front of the old and cunning royal court. It's as if I've become that cautious undercover commercial agent again.

I sighed, carefully thought about the wording, and then said, "Maybe I am a very realistic person, but my habit has always been: stand with the strong. Frankly, I am now inevitably involved in the Dawson family, which is undergoing some changes, and according to my analysis and observations, you will be the strongest in this case - standing with the victor, I think is a smart choice. ”

Seaver smiled, didn't speak, just looked at me—he was a cunning old man, and of course he wouldn't be moved by my simple words.

I took a deep breath, looked into his eyes, and said slowly, word by word, "I hope you can be the next head of the family!" And I would like to fully support you in fulfilling this wish! ”

"Hehe......" After hearing my words, Pulsatilla suddenly burst out laughing.

I frowned, "Is there anything wrong with me?" ”

Seaver glanced at me lightly, and said in a cold tone, "I think you have misunderstood. ”

"Misunderstanding?"

"Yes." Pulsatilla said lightly: "Maybe there are some differences between me and Mike about some of the family's opinions, or we don't like each other, but I don't have any extravagant expectations for the position of the head of the family, Mr. Chen Yang." I don't want to fight my little nephew Mike for anything! ”

No idea where the parents are???

I sneered in my heart: the old thing, still testing me! Playing hypocrisy with me!

Luckily, I'm not a rookie anymore!

"Oh? Really? My tone became even colder: "Then it seems that I have misunderstood you, then allow me to apologize for my presumptuousness!" ”

"No!" Pulsatilla replied tepidly.

"As I can see, you are such an elegant gentleman, and I am deeply ashamed of my malicious guess about you! In that case, I think that after Mr. McDowson takes over as head of the family in a few days, you will become one of the important patriarchs of the family, and I am sure that with your great personality, you will also support Mr. McDowson with all your might. Really? "I laughed so hard that I couldn't fathom it.

As soon as I said this, the pulsatilla was confused, and he squinted at me, and for a moment seemed to be a little confused about what I really meant.

As I guessed, he did just test me, after all, at such an extraordinary moment, with such a simple declaration of allegiance as mine, he could not easily believe me, so it was normal to make temptations, but after he tempted, I immediately made a look of retreat, but confused this old and cunning guy. Since I'm here to take refuge in him, then I won't give up just because he simply tried a few words, right?

"In this case, I really don't have the face to continue eating this lunch, I just desecrated your great personality, I am very ashamed!" I said solemnly, "In that case, let's see you in a few days at the family succession ceremony, Mr. Seaver—thank you for this sumptuous lunch!" ”

I gently picked up the tissue on the table and wiped the corners of my mouth, then pretended to get up.

When Pulsatilla heard me say the words "family succession ceremony", a little surprise was evident in his eyes, and he couldn't help but say, "What did you just say?" What is the family succession ceremony? ”

I stood up, looked into the guy's eyes, smiled, and said in a deep voice, "Maybe you don't know yet, right?" Dear Mr. Dawson, who passed away the day before yesterday afternoon! And the cause of death was because of a despicable assassination! Of course, I believe that this despicable assassination has absolutely nothing to do with you! I believe that you, who are highly respected in the family, will definitely do your best to help Mike find the real murderer, so that old Mr. Dawson's soul in heaven can rest in peace! ”

These words were like a hammer, and almost all the disguises of the pulsatilla were broken in one fell swoop! He looked at me dumbfounded with an incredulous look of shock on his face, and didn't react for a few seconds.

Of course he was shocked! How could he not be shocked?! He had been thinking about the position of the head of the family for so many years, and suddenly heard the news that old Dawson had died, and that he had been assassinated--he was almost completely in a huge shock of surprise and inextrication! Of course, this is also thanks to Mike's strict secrecy!

"You...... You mean...... Dawson Sr. ...... Parents he has ...... Passed away?? He finally came to his senses and struggled to squeeze a word out of his throat.

"Yes!" I nodded, with a heavy expression on my face: "A despicable assassination!" And Mr. McDowson already has some evidence in his hands, although it is not sufficient, but it can already be preliminarily determined who did it! I think a gentleman like you will be on the side of justice, right? I nodded, bowed my head slightly, and said, "I'm sorry for my visit today, but it seems that I have mistaken you, you are such a humble and unambitious person!" Looks like I need to think about whether or not to talk to other friends about it. ”

These words were like a whip, and they were whipped the body of the pulsatilla. He looked at me with a flushed face, as if he didn't know how to speak to me......

He could have tested me without any nervousness, but now, upon learning of the death of old Dawson, he immediately realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for for so many years had come! And I, with my help, will undoubtedly add a huge weight to his success! At this moment, I had no doubt that Pulsatilla had already regretted the temptation he had just made to me.

I smiled lightly, and I knew that the initiative of the situation was now back in my hands.

"Goodbye! Nice to meet you! Mr. Seaver! I nodded goodbye, then turned to leave.

I turned around, and then silently said to myself, "Count to three, and he will surely call out to me before I take three steps." ”

"One, two......"

"Please wait a minute, Mr. Chen Yang."

Sure enough, before I could take the third step, Pulsatilla couldn't help but stop me.

I didn't dare to show a anxious look, so I slowly turned around and smiled, "Do you have any other instructions?" ”

Although Pulsatilla tried his best to maintain that unhurried appearance, his eyes could no longer hide a little anxiety.

This is normal, the opportunity that has been dreamed of for many years suddenly appears in front of you, and no matter how sane a person is, he can't completely remain calm. How much more is it a pulsatilla with great ambitions?

He must have understood that at this time, time is the most precious, and he didn't get any news of Old Dawson's death, on the one hand, he secretly scolded the incompetence of the inner line he had planted, and on the other hand, he was deeply afraid that Mike must have been nervous to prepare everything. He didn't dare to delay any longer...... Even if he couldn't fully believe me, he had to take a risk of believing in me......

"Mr. Chen Yang." He smiled—this time his smile was less personable, and I could tell that his smile was fake," and he continued, "Do you have anything else to do in the afternoon?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Well, I've heard that you have the same fondness for tobacco as I do, and I have a new batch of Cuban cigars in my office, would you be interested in going back with me to taste them later?"

I laughed, and this time I laughed from the bottom of my heart.

I know I've won this first fight.

I looked at the pulsatilla and smiled softly, "I love cigars!" ”
