Chapter 823: Chapter 812 All Set
Song Yun looked toward the door, only to see a large group of people striding in from outside. Leading them was a plump woman who nevertheless appeared far from ungainly. She seed to be around thirty years old, her face exuded allure, and in terms of looks alone, she could rival Hong Yun. Yet, she carried herself with a few more degrees of regal elegance.
Next to the woman was a tall, slender man, no older than his early thirties. His hair was ticulously grood, a pair of gold-rimd glasses perched on his nose. He wore a custom-tailored suit from Italy’s top brand XXX, exuding a vibrant, aristocratic aura, like a noble bachelor from dieval tis.
Behind the couple trailed more than ten people, all emitting various airs of nobleness.
“That’s Mrs. Li, and beside her is her husband, Li Baoshi!” Lin Yu introduced.
“Li Baoshi?” Song Yun nearly burst out laughing, “What a fitting na for soone in the jewelry business, naming a grandson ‘gemstone’? That’s as coarse as my own na, Song Yun!”
“Yeah, he’s said to be a brilliant Harvard graduate with two doctorates. He’s quite impressive. I’ve t him just once, but we never talked!” Lin Yu said.
“Interesting, I’m definitely intrigued by this Li Baoshi.” Song Yun said with a laugh, “One day if I’m short on cash, maybe I’ll kidnap him; probably could extort a billion or so.”
“Soone already tried that once.” Lin Yu laughed, “But they weren’t asking for billions, they asked for ten billion.”
“Oh? Really? Tell
more?” Song Yun asked.
“It’s said that Li Baoshi was kidnapped when he was in high school. The kidnappers extorted ten billion Hong Kong Dollars from the Asian tycoon in Hong Kong. That tycoon didn’t call the police, just ignored the issue. While everyone worried about Li Baoshi’s well-being, Li Baoshi appeared safe and sound, while the kidnappers vanished into thin air, never to be seen again.” Lin Yu explained, “This is one of Hong Kong’s top ten unsolved mysteries; I bet only Li Baoshi and his family know the truth.”
“Really a legend!” Song Yun’s interest grew, “I need to find a way to et soone like him.”
“Li Baoshi mostly stays in Hong Kong, Mrs. Li handles the businesses here! Tonight, he probably showed up to support Mrs. Li, otherwise, he’s quite elusive.” Lin Yu said.
While Song Yun was speaking, he suddenly noticed a familiar yet unfamiliar face!
Xia Lin?
Song Yun looked at the man standing behind Li Baoshi, beside a beautiful woman, and was quite surprised. He rembered her vividly since she was Li Shishi’s classmate. During the previous gathering, when Song Yun tangled with Li Shishi’s class president, this girl stayed calm without speaking a word. That cool deanor left an impression on Song Yun; he never expected to et her here, watching her talk cheerfully with Li Baoshi, not like a subordinate but appearing more like a friend.
“Do you know that person?” Song Yun pointed at Xia Lin and asked.
“Who?” Lin Yu glanced where Song Yun was pointing, then said, “That’s Xia Lin, and next to Xia Lin is Mrs. Li’s sister. Xia Lin is rumored to be her boyfriend, but I’m not exactly sure, I’ve heard he’s an important assistant to Li Baoshi.”
“Important assistant?” In Song Yun’s mind, he recalled Xia Lin’s background. He seed to have heard that Xia Lin was a mber of the elite Rockefeller Family in the United States; could it be Li Baoshi has a partnership with them?
“Yeah, now I rember!” Lin Yu suddenly said, “I recall Li Shishi ntioning that Xia Lin is a prominent mber of the Rockefeller Family, and the Asian tycoon is also a major Rockefeller shareholder! That might explain their harmonious relations!”
“Aha! That’s how it is!” Song Yun realized and noted down these seemingly unrelated matters.
This is where the power of the Society of Noble Won shines. It can bring you lots of information, and though irrelevant now, it could be useful to you soday, wouldn’t you agree?
Xia Lin didn’t notice Song Yun, instead, she continued walking and chatting with Li Baoshi. As an elite mber of the Rockefeller Family, Xia Lin was sent by the U.S. headquarters to assist the Asian tycoon, and that tycoon, being a major Rockefeller shareholder, has dispatched her to Li Baoshi to manage affairs. Tonight, Xia Lin was specifically brought over by Li Baoshi to attend the chairperson election of the so-called Society of Noble Won.
“Xia Lin, this place is a massive information repository.” Li Baoshi told Xia Lin with a smile, “Here, countless pieces of information are exchanged daily; how to sift through what you need depends on the skills of your spokesperson within this alliance!”
A ‘spokesperson’ is the label outside n gave to won like Lin Yu.
“I know.” Xia Lin replied, “I’ll find my spokesperson quickly.”
“Of course, but don’t take this too seriously though.” Xia Lin said, “Information here sotis can only be reference material, the truly useful things we still need to dig out ourselves.”
As Song Yun and Lin Yu spoke, and as Li Baoshi conversed with Xia Lin, another burst of commotion ca from the entrance. Shortly, an astonishingly seductive woman appeared, almost comparable to Zhu Yeqing, though she lacked Zhu Yeqing’s ever-ready-to-bite——murderous aura, but possessed an allure befitting an enchantress.
This woman was not inferior in any respect to those won in the villa!
Beside the woman stood a man in his thirties; his appearance was rather ordinary, nothing extraordinary about him, balding slightly, dressed plainly—quite different from those around him, yet he exuded an inexplicable aura.
“That’s Lv Bu and his wife!” Lin Yu introduced.
“Lv Bu?” Song Yun was shocked once more, partially amazed by Lv Huixiang’s audacity in naming his son, and partly astonished by the oddity that both husbands of the two popular candidate won had such peculiar nas like his own.
