Chapter 609: Someone Really Important To Me
Gu Yuanli was having a business deal with a drug lord of Southeast Asia. At a critical moment, the discussion room went silent. The drug lord got a proxy over, and this person appeared on the video screen. The proxy was Lu Mengxi.
This made him really surprised. Lu Mengxi and Gu Yuanli had met each other once. When she was in Australia, she was the proxy of this drug lord, and she used this ident.i.ty to start a jewelry antique shop for money laundering and concealment. Gu Yuanli once cooperated with her in Australia, but Lu Mengxi did not appear in person. She just sent her subordinates to come over.
“This is really surprising.” Lu Mengxi knew that Gu Yuanli was the Second Young Master of Ghost City. Other than this, they did not have much information. She did not know where Ghost City was, and neither did she know what they did. She did not know who the owner, Second Master, actually came from. The information that Ghost City leaked out publicly was way too little. Gu Yuanli watched the lady in front of her who seemed soft yet determined. Ye Ling had just died, but this person appeared as a proxy so soon and even came to meet him.
Interesting!
“Miss Lu had always been meticulous. Very few people know that you are the proxy of Yuankun. When we were negotiating in Australia back then, you did not appear either. I can see that you are very careful about this matter. Why have you come personally to discuss this issue with me now?”
Lu Mengxi smiled softly. “Mr. Gu, Mr. Yuan takes this collaboration very seriously. It is a billion-dollar business that is casually handed over to subordinates. This would seem very disrespectful to Mr. Gu. I came here personally to present my sincerity for Mr. Yuan. However, before we talk about the deal, I have a question for Mr. Gu.”
Gu Yuanli stuck out his arm and politely gestured for her to ask.
He was a warm and polite man. Although he looked soft and he was weak, he was still calm and composed. He was very likable, and he was like a cla.s.sical example of a depressed prince. Lu Mengxi smiled lightly. “Mr. Gu, Jonah is Mr. Yuan’s guest. Mr. Yuan wants to know how Jonah had offended you such that you had to try to kill him in Golden City.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.” Gu Yuanli smiled.
Lu Mengxi said, “Jonah got hold of Ye Ling. You were involved. After Jonah leaked the news, you spread it out and got your enemies involved too. You wanted to kill two birds with one stone. If Ye Ling died, you would have solved a huge problem. If Jonah and the others died, you would have gotten rid of all your rivals as well. When Jonah was moved by the anti-terrorists, you sent someone to kill him. You were not afraid of sacrificing by going head-on with the anti-terrorists. Mr. Yuan felt that was really unpleasant. He fears that you would treat him like this one day. So, why did you kill Jonah?”
Gu Yuanli laughed. He looked indifferent. “Do I need a reason for killing Jonah?”
Lu Mengxi held her breath. People from Ghost City always had odd tactics that were hard to understand. Indeed, she did not understand this.
Gu Yuanli said calmly, “If Mr. Yuan really wanted to know, you can tell him that Jonah had offended someone really important to me. If Jonah does not die, I will feel indignant. What’s more, isn’t he still living well now?”
“Who had Jonah offended?”
“Do you think I would tell you?”
This proxy is kinda silly!
Lu Mengxi felt her heart skip a beat. She felt that she should not have asked. She nodded. “I got it. I will tell Mr. Yuan about what Mr. Gu means. I hope we work well together.”
Just then, Gu Tian came hurriedly. His parents were both from the Ghost City. He was also the subordinate that Gu Yuanli trusted most. “Second Master, Miss has gone down to the underground casino. Our men can’t stop her.”
