"Ah?" Chen Wei’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Li Yundong.
He never expected that this young man, who was even a year or two younger than him, would actually live right across from him. How could he not be surprised?
"That’s right, this gentleman here is the chief of the police station, Chief Chen Guodong. He’s here on orders to take back to the station to sit for a while and have a cup of tea," Li Yundong said with a smile as he looked at Chen Guodong.
Seeing the smile on Li Yundong’s face that wasn’t quite a smile, Chen Wei suddenly had a brainwave, finally understanding the aning behind Li Yundong’s words.
"This... How is this possible? How can this guy be so young?" A look of disbelief crossed Chen Wei’s face.
Li Yundong noticed Chen Guodong’s dark expression and couldn’t help but shrug his shoulders, then said to Chen Guodong, "Chief, what’s the matter? Is soone like worth the trouble of you coming all the way here to arrest ? Am I that impressive?"
Chen Guodong snorted coldly without responding to him.
"Chief Chen, since you’re here to arrest soone, please take to your police station," Li Yundong said to Chen Guodong with a bow of his hands.
Chen Guodong snorted again and turned his head to wave at one of his n, signaling him to lead the way.
Seeing this, Li Yundong imdiately followed.
Soon, led by the young thug, the group made their way through the village entrance toward the direction of the town governnt.
Seeing Chen Guodong’s car parked at the roadside, Li Yundong couldn’t help but ask the thug, "Hey, brother, is that car yours?"
The thug shook his head, "It’s not ours; it’s our boss’s!"
"Boss? What’s your boss’s surna?" Li Yundong couldn’t help but ask.
"The boss’s surna is Zhou, nad Zhou Guo Dong. I’m just responsible for taking you to the police station," the thug replied.
"Zhou Guo Dong? Zhou Guo Dong!" Li Yundong’s expression beca solemn upon hearing this. Why did this na sound familiar?
Could it be...
A lightbulb went off in Li Yundong’s head, and he suddenly rembered – Zhou Qin’s father, that is, his father-in-law Zhou Guo Dong, wasn’t his na Zhou Guo Dong?
"The boss you’re speaking of, is it Zhou Qin’s father, Zhou Guo Dong?" Li Yundong couldn’t help but ask.
"You know who my boss is?" The thug looked at Li Yundong with astonishnt and asked.
"Nonsense, of course, I know; otherwise I wouldn’t have co to find you," Li Yundong said, rolling his eyes.
"Oh, I see," the thug nodded, understanding.
"So, can I ask for your boss’s phone number?" Li Yundong inquired.
"You can, but my boss doesn’t like being disturbed when he’s working, especially by irrelevant people!" The thug glanced at Li Yundong before speaking.
"Don’t worry, I won’t interrupt his work," Li Yundong quickly assured him.
"Alright then, I’ll send you a text ssage. Just wait a mont," the thug said as he took out his cell phone and sent a number over.
After entering the number into his phone and checking, Li Yundong realized that this cellphone number was a string of unfamiliar digits, clearly not Chen Guodong’s phone number.
"Huh? Why isn’t his phone number saved?" Li Yundong muttered in confusion as he dialed the number.
Shortly after, the call connected.
"Hello, may I ask who this is?" A robust and resonant voice ca through the phone.
"Mr. Zhou, it’s ! Li Yundong!" Li Yundong quickly said.
"It’s you, it’s you! Mr. Li, why are you calling? Have you thought it over? Decided to cooperate with ?"
After hearing Zhou Guo Dong’s words, Li Yundong sighed inwardly, reflecting that the world indeed was a place where the strong prey on the weak. Although Chen Guodong was a deputy mayor, he seed even more opportunistic than Wang Haijun.
"Yes, I’ve made up my mind, Mr. Zhou, I think we can cooperate!" Li Yundong said.
"Oh? Cooperate? Why should I believe you?"
Li Yundong smiled slightly, "Because I am Zhou Qin’s boyfriend. Zhou Guo Dong should know that, right?"
"You’re Zhou Qin’s boyfriend?" The voice of Zhou Guo Dong over the phone was clearly surprised. After hesitating for a mont, he said in a heavy voice, "How can you be sure that you are Zhou Qin’s boyfriend? We didn’t even know that Zhou Qin had a boyfriend!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yundong imdiately frowned and asked, "Then how can you be so sure that I’m not Zhou Qin’s boyfriend?"
Zhou Guo Dong pondered for a mont upon hearing this, then replied, "We just heard from a friend’s mouth that Zhou Qin is dating soone in Capital City."
"Dating? Is this information reliable?" Li Yundong asked with a frown.
"Reliable! Absolutely reliable!" Zhou Guo Dong stated confidently.
"If it’s reliable, then why doesn’t Mr. Zhou trust Zhou Qin and instead chose to cooperate with her?" Li Yundong couldn’t help but retort.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Guo Dong was silent for a long ti before saying bleakly, "Our circle is too ssy; I really can’t easily trust anyone."
Li Yundong heard this and coldly snickered inside; he knew that Zhou Guo Dong’s reason was false.
This circle is too ssy; what status and position does your Zhou family have? Who would dare to deceive your eyes?
Moreover, it’s not that you don’t dare to trust others, it’s that you don’t dare to trust won.
Zhou Qin is a beautiful girl, and she is also the precious daughter of Zhou Corporation. With such background and identity, it’s impossible for Zhou Guo Dong to truly trust Zhou Qin.
But Li Yundong didn’t expose him. He smiled and then asked, "Then, Mr. Zhou, would you be interested in joining our Dragon Group? If you agree, we can discuss this matter in detail. How about it?"
After hearing Li Yundong’s words, Zhou Guo Dong was greatly startled and hurriedly declined, "Mr. Li, thank you for your kind intentions. It’s just that my company was recently established and still needs so ti to develop, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to join your Dragon Group any ti soon!"
As soon as Li Yundong heard this, he beca instantly disappointed. He had thought he could use Zhou Guo Dong to secure a foothold in this circle, but the man had so straightforwardly rejected him!
It looked like his plan had gone down the drain again!
But thinking about it, Zhou Guo Dong was after all the vice-chairman of Zhou Corporation and had many connections in the official circles of Capital City. If he really was willing to throw his lot in with him, then he really might have a chance to win him over.
However, since he was unwilling, there was no need to force him. After all, he was a smart person who knew what to do and what not to, so Li Yundong wouldn’t hold a grudge over it.
"Well then, I hope we have the chance to et again!" Li Yundong smiled and hung up the phone.
Li Yundong didn’t want to waste more words on a wily old fox like Zhou Guo Dong in the officialdom.
After Zhou Guo Dong hung up the phone, a sinister smile appeared on his face as he muttered, "Zhou Qin, don’t bla for being unkind if you’re heartless! Although I, Zhou Guo Dong, don’t have power in the officialdom, I certainly have ways in the business world!"
With that thought, Zhou Guo Dong sent another ssage to Li Yundong.
"Mr. Li, I am very grateful for what you’ve done this ti. Your help has greatly elevated our company’s reputation. I also promise that whenever you need our company’s assistance, we will give our full support, no matter the cost!"
After receiving Zhou Guo Dong’s ssage, Li Yundong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a laugh, "Does this an Mr. Zhou is prepared to accept the invitation from our Dragon Group? Haha, I thought Mr. Zhou was unwilling to join us!"
"Not at all. Our Dragon Group is Huaxia’s most mysterious departnt. It would be Zhou Corporation’s honor to be able to join it!"
"Good, then we’ll et tomorrow!"
"Good, we’ll et tomorrow!"
Li Yundong hung up the phone from Zhou Guo Dong and thought to himself, Zhou Qin, you’ve made a mistake this ti, getting involved with a devil like !
Early the next day, Li Yundong drove to Yanjing International Airport to pick up Zhou Qin and Chen Yaqian, and then they flew back to Huaxia.
All the way, Li Yundong engaged in sporadic conversation with the two, knowing they surely had more to say today.
True enough, after chatting for half the day, they finally couldn’t help but say, "Li Yundong, was what you said yesterday true?"
"Of course it’s true, Miss Zhou Qin. Do you have anything else you’d like to ask?" Li Yundong asked with a smile.
"Will the Dragon Group really send experts to protect my safety?" Zhou Qin bit her lip, asking nervously.
"Certainly, but only if Miss Zhou Qin is willing to cooperate with the actions of the Dragon Group," Li Yundong nodded and replied with a smile.
At this, Zhou Qin breathed a sigh of relief, but then she quickly rembered sothing and with a frown, asked, "Li Yundong, if the Dragon Group are your people, why do you call Zhou Qin and not President Zhou?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yundong froze for a mont but then quickly recovered,
