Murong Yunxi was in a daze, "To see who?"
"To be exact, I"m bringing Gong Yu and you to meet someone." Murong Ye lifted his eyebrows slightly, and gave Gong Yu a meaningful look.
"Did I come to America, to meet people all the time?"
"Yeah, sort of. But not all the time."
Murong Ye"s appearance of being deliberately mystifying made Murong Yunxi feel a little discontented. She pouted and frowned, saying in a little unhappy and angry voice, "Bro, are you doing this on purpose?"
Murong Ye looked at Murong Yunxi, whom he thought was behaving in such a cute manner, smiled and said, "Xiao Xi, you already are a mother. Aren"t you ashamed of behaving like this?"
"I"m indeed a mother, but this doesn"t involve my position as a mother! Don"t change the topic and answer my question!"
"Haha, I"m not bringing you to meet a nice guy later. Are you sure you want to find out now? It may affect your appet.i.te."
"Well, then, I"d better listen to it after dinner."
It was now three pm.
Murong Ye appeared in an underground casino in the suburb, together with Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu.
Today"s line-up was somewhat impressive. They were accompanied by Fourth, Lisa, and a dozen super bodyguards, all of whom looked well-built, st.u.r.dy, and powerful.
They got out of the car and Murong Ye made a beeline for the door. At the gate, there were four strong and strapping men with stocky and imposing physiques, all looking quite menacing. Some of them even had obvious scars on their faces.
Although Murong Yunxi had mentally prepared herself, she still felt a little alarmed, when she saw these people.
Gong Yu, who had an arm around Murong Yunxi, clearly felt Murong Yunxi"s body trembling. He looked down at Murong Yunxi and gave her a comforting smile. He also tightened his hold on her, making Murong Yunxi feel a little more relaxed.
The man did not recognize Murong Ye at first. He looked at him with a ferocious stare and said rudely in English, "Get out of here!"
The threatening tone of his voice made Murong Ye"s eyes turn cold instantly. Murong Ye"s consistently cold coercion, which was like the king of terrors, immediately enveloped his whole body, and made the lead man feel a chill.
Murong Ye was not as strong as they were, but his imposing manner made them fear like facing a giant.
"Presumptous!"
Murong Ye"s reprimand made them feel that he was more terrible than their boss. They could not help shrinking a little and took a step back.
Lisa stepped forward and stared at the four men coldly. With her fierce eyes, she seemed totally different from the person that Murong Yunxi had met earlier.
And this Lisa had the four guys in awe of her. When they saw Lisa"s face, their fierce looks faded and they became reverent and fearful.
The four men bowed their heads and dared not look into Lisa"s eyes again. Even their fierceness vanished into thin air.
Instead, Lisa turned around and said respectfully to Murong Ye, "Boss, please come in."
Murong Ye walked straight inside the gate. When he pa.s.sed the four men, they deliberately stepped out of the way. Only after Murong Ye and others had pa.s.sed, did the four men dare to raise their heads and look at their backs. They were all surprised that Lisa was so polite to that man. Was he the legend...?
With that kind of coldness maintained on his face, he brought a chill, wherever he went.
There were not many people in the underground casino tonight, so the appearance of Murong Ye and others caused quite a sensation. Many people were disturbed by the arrival of this group, stopped whatever they were doing, turned around, and looked over.
Murong Ye seldom appeared in public, so few people had ever seen him or knew who he was. But his commanding presence was still frightening.
After getting a briefing from his staff, Carl hurried out of the office, saw Murong Ye and was shocked. He had not seen him for so long, and Murong Ye"s power seemed to have become stronger. He already surpa.s.sed his several years ago.
"Master Ye!" Carl addressed Murong Ye in extremely poor Chinese, but the politeness in his tone made the people around him, feel a little shocked.
What was this man"s background? There were not many people who were treated in such a way by Carl, a few of them were all big shots. They might not know them, but they still could recognize their faces! However, no one in the crowd recognized this guy! People became more curious about Murong Ye. Some people even left their gambling tables and began to pay attention to the situation on the other side.
Murong Ye inclined his head slightly, as a greeting. Although Carl was aware about Murong Ye"s cold att.i.tude, he felt somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. He had been so polite, while Murong Ye had treated him in such a manner. Unfortunately, he could only feel the discomfort in his heart, as he did not dare to let off steam at this Master.
Carl invited all of them into his office, with the exception of the bodyguards, who stayed outside, standing in two rows, with their hands behind backs, waiting. Lisa and Fourth both followed.
As they sat down, someone brought coffee.
Carl smiled faintly and asked, "Master Ye, who are these two people?"
Carl knew Fourth and Lisa, but he did not know who Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu were.
Murong Ye answered coldly and simply, "My little sister Murong Yunxi and brother-in-law Gong Yu."
Carl laughed and spoke to them in English. His greasy smile made them a little uncomfortable.
Lisa whispered the interpretation, "Oh? I know Master Ye is handsome. But your younger sister is so pretty, and your brother-in-law is also good-looking. How we envy G.o.d"s favor on you!"
In fact, Murong Ye and Murong Yunxi could both speak good English, but Gong Yu had never learned English. Moreover, Murong Ye always used Chinese. Even though he had no problems with listening, speaking, reading, and writing English, he did not usually speak English either.
Murong Yunxi smiled indifferently, but did not say much. She was not very familiar with this situation. So she chose to speak as little as possible, to avoid any problems.
Murong Ye glanced at Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu, and his voice was still as cold as ice. "Carl, I"ll let you know my intentions directly. This time, I"m going to introduce two people to you, my sister and brother-in-law, whom I"ll be handing over a large part of my business, in America."
"Oh? So is Master Ye thinking of retiring?" A spark flashed in Carl"s eyes, which disappeared quickly into the depths of his blue eyes. But Murong Ye still keenly captured the brief show of emotion.
He was not impressed by Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu. He thought that if Murong Ye retired, he would obtain great benefits.
"No, you think too much! I am just letting them manage it for me, which doesn"t mean I won"t be managing any more!"
"Oh, I see!"
"Of course. But they"ll use my name when they pursue any matters in the future. So I will trouble Carl to inform the powers, they"re my plenipotentiary."
When Murong Ye said the last words "my plenipotentiary", his tone was deliberately raised. His meaning was pretty clear, implying that if someone did not respect them, they did not respect me. Then, he won"t go easy on them.
"Okay, I will." Carl"s heart quivered slightly, and he gave Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu a deep look.
"But you can be a.s.sured of one thing. We"ll not make any adjustments to our current power and scope of the business, which will not threaten or change your current business."
"Since Master Ye says so, I believe it."
"Good. If there"s no other thing, it"s time for us to leave!"
"Master Ye, you don"t have to leave so soon. We haven"t seen each other for years. Since you"re here, let"s take the opportunity to have a little chat."
"..." Murong Ye took a deep look at Carl.
"I do have a business here. Since Master Ye is here, let"s talk about it. If Master Ye could be involved in it, half the battle will be won already."
"What is it?"
Carl stood up, took out a doc.u.ment from his desk drawer, and handed it to Murong Ye, with an enigmatic smile on his lips.
However, the smile seemed to be somewhat ferocious to Murong Yunxi. Or was it because Carl"s smile itself, was a little weird and distorted. Perhaps he was like what some people say, someone whose laughter was uglier than his cries.
Murong Ye took the doc.u.ment in Carl"s hands and glanced through it briefly. Although the whole doc.u.ment was in English, Murong Ye scanned it very quickly. However, after reading it, Murong Ye"s face became colder, even his eyes were cold and oppressive, which shocked Carl. Murong Ye was angry.
When Carl saw this, he felt a little afraid. At first, he thought that Murong Ye might refuse, but he did not expect that it would displease Murong Ye.
"Master Ye, if you don"t want to do it, forget it. Just forget what I said. I just want to have a share with Master Ye if it"s profitable."
"What if I told you not to do it either?"
Carl"s face darkened at once, and his anger finally showed.
"Oh? Carl, it seems that you"re dissatisfied!"
"Master Ye, don"t go too far!"
"Go too far? I never go too far. I just do what I want to do."
"Master Ye, don"t think that you are still the same Murong Gang from those days. Now it"s just a bracket with its arms and legs cut off. I respect you, but don"t think that I"m still afraid of you!"
"Haha, Carl, you"re telling the truth at last! Don"t think I don"t know about the little tricks you are doing in secret!"
"Master Ye, I don"t know what you"re talking about!"
"You don"t know? Would you like to have a talk with Tom?"
"It"s Tom. Haha, I did not know that he is still sucking up to you."
"Now, you admit it?"
"I did not say anything, and I don"t know what you"re talking about!"
"You don"t know! It"s ridiculous. You know, although I don"t manage many things now, it doesn"t mean that I don"t have the power to handle you. Believe it or not, if I want to do it, there will be no longer be a Carl in America tomorrow."
"Haha, that"s so funny. Master Ye, you should consider where you are now. Don"t get trapped here today!"
