1502 Old Fox Gu Jingze
They went to a private room.
Half of the private room faced the sea, and it was obvious that Gu Jingze specially chose it. Across them, they could see people feeding fishes. Meanwhile, in the ocean, huge sharks were swimming around. They looked scary.
Across them was a young man with a pale complexion and blonde hair that made him look very cute, but the way he fed the sharks seemed too arrogant. Somehow, he didn’t seem very lovable that way.
Gu Jingze watched and slowly sat down.
Lin Che also sat on the other side.
Lu Beichen stared across and asked Gu Jingze, “What is his position in their family?”
Gu Jingze watched and said plainly, “Don’t go over first.”
“Uh-huh?”
Gu Jingze took a teacup and drank from it. “Someone will not be able to hold back. Why do you need to go over? You might as well let others test the waters first.”
Lu Beichen understood and smiled at Gu Jingze. “Old fox.”
Lin Che also understood. She looked across and watched.
After some time, someone indeed could not hold it in any longer.
Soon, there were more people in the opposite room.
Not long after, they could hear some commotion going on.
Everyone then went out.
Everyone had their intention when they came here. Naturally, n.o.body was willing to miss out on anything.
As for Gu Jingze, he took Lin Che and slowly walked over.
They heard the people over there ask.
“Who said you could come in here? Get out.”
“Haha, we merely entered the wrong place. Kid, you dare to treat me this way? Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t care who you are. You hara.s.sed my people, so you will never have a chance to see the ginseng again. I know why you’re all here. If anyone still wants to see the ginseng, get lost.”
Just then, at the side, the man who raised his machine gun walked over arrogantly.
“Hey, kid. I don’t think you recognize what I have in my hand, do you? If we take you back with us, which do you think will be more important, you or the ginseng? I guess it’s the ginseng. That’s great. You can die in our hands.”
However, the young man didn’t even flinch. He only smirked coldly.
“Come at me, then. I’ll see if you can still walk out of here in one piece after that.”
“This is the high seas. Do you think I’m afraid of you?”
“No, but don’t you forget that everyone is here because of the ginseng.” He looked up and said to the rest, “What do you guys say? If he tries to kill me and anyone of you can save me, wouldn’t I be extremely grateful? I’ll probably put in some good words to my family and allow you to get closer to seeing the ginseng?”
This made sense to most people.
Instantly, everyone turned to the guy holding the gun.
The young man raised his head triumphantly.
Seeing that the situation was terrible, the few people grunted and raised their guns but did not step forward.
Lin Che watched from behind and said, “This boy seems pretty intelligent.”
Gu Jingze smiled, went up to them, and said, “But if we all agreed to kill you, then sweep through Sweden and steal your William family’s ginseng? Or what if you provoked us so much that we don’t want the ginseng anymore? In any case, if n.o.body can get it, n.o.body will get it. Isn’t that right?”
The young man heard this and looked over.
Looking at Gu Jingze, he raised his brows.
“Who are you?”
Someone behind smiled. “You don’t even know who Gu Jingze is, and you’re still acting all arrogant here? He’s right. If you angered us, I wouldn’t want any ginseng. I’d want your life, and I’d even bring the whole William family down. I’ll see what you can do about that.”
The young man’s face instantly changed.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze.
She didn’t understand what was going on. She looked at Lu Beichen, who spoke to her in Mandarin. “He’s saying all this on purpose to make everyone angry.”
Lin Che then reacted.
So it was like that.
The people around were not ones to be messed with in the first place. Although the ginseng was important, so was their dignity. Being agitated in front of so many people, most of them wouldn’t keep it to themselves.
Sure enough, when one person spoke out, the rest followed suit. Exactly, they didn’t want the ginseng anymore. They wanted his life.
The young man was starting to panic.
“You guys… You guys can’t do this!”
Gu Jingze seized the opportunity and stepped forward. “Alright, tell us then. When the ginseng is presented, it’ll be the real thing, right?”
He looked at Gu Jingze. Although not very willing, there were so many people around. He could only say, “Of course. The Williams do not lie.”
“Good. So it will be a public reveal?”
“Of course.”
“Very good. Everyone can ask whatever questions you have.”
“Hey, are you guys not selling it?”
“Why did your family collect this?”
“That’s right. You’re suddenly exhibiting it but not selling it. Are you out to anger us?”
Little William looked and said hastily, “Hey, of course, we’re not selling it. This is a family inheritance. We’ve collected it for so many years, so how can we sell something with so much history? Don’t you think about it.”
Gu Jingze watched, and he didn’t have any questions now. He raised his brow and looked around. Trying to keep a low profile, he pulled Lin Che along and wanted to retreat, but just then.
Someone suddenly stopped Gu Jingze.
“Thinking about leaving when you threatened our Young Master just now?” A caretaker said while some people from behind surrounded them.
Their Young Master was young, but they had a clear vision.
These people suddenly threatened their Young Master, and it was all because of this Gu Jingze.
Seeing as Gu Jingze did not bring many men with him, he looked at these people and smiled subtly. He said, “I advise you not to do this.”
“Where would the Williams’ dignity be if we don’t take you back with us?”
Gu Jingze replied, “That will have to depend on whether you can take me back or not.”
“Hmph, I already saw it. You took the risk today. You didn’t bring many people.”
Lin Che started to get nervous. Indeed, they only wanted to come and take a look. They didn’t think too much and did not bring many people along.
Just then…
“Then you are mistaken. I didn’t bring many people with me, but that doesn’t mean that others didn’t bring their people.”
The caretaker still scoffed and was just about to gesture for the people to attack. But unexpectedly at this moment…
A loud gunshot suddenly went off and shocked the entire room.
Then, the caretaker, who was just threatening Gu Jingze, immediately took a step back in shock. Because behind, Black Eagle held a gun that was pointed straight at his body.
