Lu Bai pretended to sigh, âThereâs some grudge between me and him, and if possible, I hope Mr Bruce youâll be able to help me with my revenge. And once youâve accomplish that, I can join you as your underling.â
âOf course.â
If he could double-cross someone, Bruce was more than willing to do it.
âSo, I hope Mr Bruce youâll keep this meeting secret. As for your cooperation with Xiang Jinxi, it will also be on your own volition, and has nothing to do with me.â Lu Baiâs smile was infectious, and while it allowed people to lower their guard, it also tricked them into underestimating him. âIf your joint-venture does work out, please donât forget your promise.â
âThat goes without saying.â Bruce nodded.
âThen, I shall take my leave.â Lu Bai stood up.
âMen, see Mr Lu off.â
The Caucasian bodyguard sent Lu Bai and his escort out of the mansion as the two got onto a Bentley waiting outside.
Just as the door closed, Lu Bai immediately glared at the man-in-black sitting on the driverâs seat. âHuo Li, I had already acted my part as agreed. Donât come bothering me ever again. Also, remember this, I only helped because of big sis!â
CLAP CLAP CLAP!
Huo Li pulled down his mask as he clapped.
âLu Bai, I really did not expect you to be such an amazing actor, that act was much more entertaining than Iâd thought.â
â...â
Lu Bai rolled his eyes, and ignored him.
âDonât worry, we wonât be bothering you anymore.â
Huo Li slammed on the accelerator, and said whimsically, âNormally, Xiang Jinxi would never work with an illegal organization like this, but now heâs at his wits end, and will do everything he can to survive. As for that Bruce guy, heâs way over his head, not knowing how powerful the people here are, when heâs just a mere fish in the pond.â
Lu Bai raised an eyebrow. âAre you sure youâre not letting a wolf into the chickenâs pen?â
Xiang Jinxi lacked money, and Bruce lacked a legal identity.
With those two working together, wonât it be helping them instead?
âYouâre not an idiot are you?â Huo Li glanced at him before spitting venom nonchalantly.
âYou looking for a fight?â Lu Bai sneered.
Huo Li raised his eyebrow. âYou canât beat me anyway.â
â.....â
Lu Bai turned away and refused to talk to him any more.
Huo Li was not perturbed as he hummed some random tune as he sent Lu Bai back to Yan Seâs place. Seeing the lady coming out to tease him with a lollipop in her mouth, Huo Li pouted as he drove back to Thunderbolt Corp alone, and briefed everything to Huo Yunting.
âOkay, understood.â Huo Yunting waved him off. âIâll give you two days off. Get a good rest.â
Huo Li was elated, before suddenly remembering Lu Baiâs words, and asked worriedly. âBro Ting, are you sure we are not letting a tiger loose in our midst?â
If they were to continue on like this, Xiangyuan will go bankrupt sooner or later, so why did he had do this, and if something goes wrong somewhere, itâll be too late to regret anything.
Huo Yunting gave him a flippant glance, before adding. âIâll give you a raise this month.â
âWhat you mean?â
Why did he suddenly brought up the matter of a raise?
âGo get a brain transplant and fix that stupidity of yours.â
â...â
Huo Liâs heart sank.
He had only just laughed at Lu Bai earlier, and karma was quick to bite him in the rear.
He dejectedly left the room, and on the way out saw Lu Zhaoyang, and could only give her a despondent greeting.
