The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 808: Isn’t This a Celebration? (2)
"Of course." Hunter raised his hand to smooth his beard, his tone gaining a few degrees of gravity, "The Dark Hall in M Country and the K organization in Y Country each dominate their own turf, something that is already well known in the circle. The K organization operates with an iron fist, ruthless in their actions, so most people wouldn’t dare provoke them. We’ve swapped a batch of their goods this time; if they find out, our lives will definitely be in danger."
Li Jingjie thought slightly, "Then between the Dark Hall and the K organization, which one is stronger?"
"That’s hard to say, I would guess they’re about evenly matched, but there have been rumors before that the K organization and the Dark Hall aren’t getting along behind the scenes," Hunter said.
"Daddy, since that’s the case, why don’t we pin this swap of the K organization’s goods on the Dark Hall and let them fight it out?" Sophia suggested.
Li Jingjie looked towards Hunter, obviously agreeing with Sophia’s proposal.
"No way." Hunter rejected without hesitation.
Sophia and Li Jingjie exchanged a glance, both showing the same confusion on their faces.
"Why not?" Sophia asked.
"The Dark Hall and K organization aren’t getting along behind the scenes already, so the Dark Hall could very well swap their goods."
Hunter shook his head, his voice steady, "The leaders of the K organization and the Dark Hall are very astute, not someone we can outwit. If we pin the responsibility on the Dark Hall, both the Dark Hall and the K organization will investigate thoroughly, and it would be easy to trace the matter back to us."
They have already risked their lives to swap this batch of goods, involving the Dark Hall now won’t leave them any good outcome.
"So what do we do next?" Li Jingjie asked.
Working with Hunter entails great risk, but the benefits are also extremely rich.
"I’ve received news that the K organization has a deal in F Country, similar to this time, swap the goods and leave," Hunter said.
"But we’ve already made a move once, won’t the K organization be on guard?" Li Jingjie worriedly asked.
Hunter glanced at him, his tone lukewarm, "What, are you scared?"
Li Jingjie immediately shook his head and explained, "No, with Uncle here, what do I have to worry about? But since Uncle says the K organization is so formidable, I’m afraid they’ll spot a loophole if we swap goods twice in a row."
"Don’t worry, they won’t find out," Hunter said nonchalantly.
"Bang——"
The sound of the door being kicked open was like a thunderous shock, startling everyone in the room.
"Who is it?" Sophia exclaimed, instinctively grabbing Li Jingjie’s arm.
Hunter looked towards the door, his face darkened, "Who are you people?"
"Hmph."
A disdainful cold laugh echoed, a chilly voice came like from an ice cave, "Of course, the ones who want your life."
Hunter felt a chill in his heart, carefully scrutinizing the two standing at the door.
His gaze landed on that silver mask, deepening the confusion in his eyes.
"This is a private room; without our permission, you aren’t allowed to enter, so leave immediately," Sophia said, addressing the uninvited duo, "Where’s the manager? Get the manager over here for me."
With that, Gu Xinuo calmly closed the door in front of them.
"Weren’t you celebrating?" Ye Jiuliang walked in slowly, his cold gaze rattling everyone, "There’s still a lot of good wine left on the table, keep drinking."
Hunter’s pupils trembled, his whole body tense.
Who are they...
"Who exactly are you? Leave now," Sophia blocked Ye Jiuliang’s path, her voice razor-sharp, "Where’s the manager, how could they let people like you in here so carelessly?"
"Noisy." Ye Jiuliang replied with a voice as chill as the temperature.
"Who are you calling noisy?" Sophia’s face changed; her temper flared, raising her hand to slap.
Ye Jiuliang did not dodge, a bloodthirsty smile curling from his lips.
Before the slap landed, a shadow flashed past Hunter and the others, and a piercing scream suddenly broke the air.
"Ah——"
Sophia clutched her arm, her face as pale as paper, cold sweat starting to trickle down her forehead.
"Sophia." Li Jingjie reached out to support her, "Are you alright?"
"My arm hurts," Sophia stammered, lips quivering.
"I only dislocated one of your arms just now; if you’re not sensible, next time it won’t be as simple as dislocating an arm." Gu Xinuo stood beside Ye Jiuliang, giving her a cold glance, taunting.
If you dare to touch Ajiu from their household, then a beating to death would be forgiving.
"Who on earth are you?" Hunter stepped forward, directly confronting them, exploring them with his eyes.
"Weren’t you just planning on how to swap our goods?" Ye Jiuliang reached up to remove his hat, smiling enigmatically.
"Do you not recognize us now?"
"You, you are..." Hunter’s face was filled with horror, his voice trembling.
Ye Jiuliang sat down on the sofa, legs crossed, "You’ve swapped once, and now you want a second try; seems we underestimated your courage, Hunter. Is our K organization so easy to bully?"
Hunter’s face turned deathly pale, his figure staggered.
K organization people?
How could it be?
"You say you’re from K organization; why should we believe you? You could be masquerading under their name and swaggering around," even with a dislocated arm, Sophia remained restless, showing no discernment.
"Shut up, you have no place to speak here," Gu Xinuo grabbed her collar and tossed her aside.
"Stay put."
Sophia staggered and fell to the ground.
Li Jingjie also didn’t move to help her, his gaze tightly fixated on the woman sitting on the sofa.
That voice sounds a bit familiar.
"Hunter, you swapped our K organization’s goods, how should I settle this score with you?" Ye Jiuliang reached out, picked up a wine bottle from the table, and casually tossed it at Hunter.
"Bang——"
The bottle shattered at his feet, and Hunter’s face flushed purple, his legs gave way, nearly collapsing.
"Misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding; we didn’t swap K organization’s goods, it’s all a misunderstanding," he forced a cheerful grin, which looked worse than crying.
"You just admitted it with your own mouth, and you call it a misunderstanding?" Ye Jiuliang picked up another wine glass, smashing it onto the ground.
Hunter shivered all over, caught by his cold gaze, with the words stuck in his throat, unable to speak.
Li Jingjie stayed silent the whole time, his scrutinizing gaze constantly drifting around the woman wearing a silver mask.
That voice, that tone.
And that domineering arrogance, clearly is...
In a flash, something dawned on him, Li Jingjie widened his eyes, hurriedly approached her, his tone certain, "You’re Ye Jiuliang?"
Hunter and his daughter were stunned, Ye Jiuliang?
Being recognized didn’t faze Ye Jiuliang; he raised a hand to take off the mask, revealing a plain face easily forgettable.
"This..." Li Jingjie stepped back, his face full of shock.
How could it be like this?
That voice and tone were clearly like Ye Jiuliang, how could it not be her?
