“…call again? Then just let him call. If he urges me again, I will tell him that I have already urged General Kars, and General Kars said to wait!” Li Zhichun said indifferently.

“.. but we can’t always drag it like this. If it gets longer, the old man, Huang Xiaofei, will definitely doubt it!” said Li Tianjia.

“…that’s true!” Li Zhichun sneered. “But it’s better. The more he urges, I will say that General Kars is impatient and breaks the contract! He will not return the money and the gold mine. In this way, isn’t it all settled?”

“…this way is really good. Only father, you, can think of it!” Li Tianjia was delighted after listening. “In this way, we have no responsibility for them. The Huang Family can only suffer a dumb loss again! Try to reason with General Kars? Just let them be exhausted from it!”

“…Yes, so we earn forty billion patacas net. This business is too cost-effective. Only Huang Xiaofei would believe it after suffering a loss once. I did not expect him to be such a fool!” said Li Zhichun.

“… If he is not a fool, how can he give us so much money?!” Li Tianjia smiled.

Huang Xiaofei was holding the phone. He was trembling; he was furious! Li Zhichun actually made a scam to deceive him! What General Kars? What contract? All this seemed to be faked by Li Zhichun!

Huang Rongtian and Huang Rongjin also heard the conversation on the phone, because Huang Xiaofei just turned on the speakerphone. The family’s faces had become extremely ugly.

Huang Xiaofei shouted at the phone, “Li Zhichun, you bastard. You actually lied to me?”

However, the other party did not reply. Obviously, Li Zhichun did not realize that his phone was not disconnected, so he thought the conversation would not be heard by Huang Xiaofei.

Huang Xiaofei resisted his anger, hung up the phone, and then dialed Li Zhichun’s phone again.

Li Zhichun was talking to Li Tianjia. When the phone rang, he picked up the phone after seeing Huang Xiaofei called, “Hello, Mr. Huang, is there anything else the matter? Didn’t I say that I am in a meeting?”

“Meeting?” Huang Xiaofei sneered. “Having a meeting to study how silly I am? Studying me urging you again, and then you’ll say that General Kars will break the contract because he was impatient, right?”

“You… What do you mean by this?” Li Zhichun asked, surprised.

“What do you mean? Did you forget what you just said?” Huang Xiaofei snorted. “Don’t deny it. Your phone was not disconnected just now. I have heard everything you said!”

“You heard it?” Li Zhichun was shocked and asked.

“What do you say? Li Zhichun, what do you mean? You explain to me clearly today. Otherwise, this matter is not finished yet!” Huang Xiaofei growled.

“Not finished? Hehe , how is it not finished? I have to listen to this!” When Li Zhichun noticed that Huang Xiaofei found out, he had a falling-out with him immediately. “What do you want me to say?”

“Return the money to me, then I will end this matter. I will not pursue your responsibility. If you do not return the money to me…” Huang Xiaofei’s words were interrupted by Li Zhichun before he could finish speaking.

“What if I do not return it?” Li Zhichun sneered. “Who did you pay the money to? Did you give it to me? You gave the money to General Kars! You get it from him. Why do you ask it from me? Are you crazy?”

“What General Kars? Isn’t it disguised by you?” asked Huang Xiaofei.

“Disguised? You transferred the money to General Kars yourself. How do I disguise it? You can sue General Kars if you are capable. Do not talk nonsense here!” Li Zhichun said without hesitation. “Evidence! Everything must have evidence. Do you have any evidence to prove that I lied to you? You did not give your money to me! Besides, I am still a victim; I am your partner; I also lost half of the gold mine!”

“You…” Huang Xiaofei was so angry that he was shaking, and his heart suddenly had angina. Huang Xiaofei covered his heart and couldn’t speak ! Indeed, I don’t have any evidence at all. It’s my fault that I lost my mind because of the gold mine. I did not leave anything like receipts or cooperation agreement, and I confusedly transferred the money to an account called “KarsXXXX.”

“Crazy, don’t call me for nothing!” As Li Zhichun said this, he hung up the phone and then promptly turned it off.

Huang Xiaofei only felt blood surge up his head, his heart beat quickly, and then he did not know anything…

“Father!” When Huang Rongtian and Huang Rongjin saw Huang Xiaofei fainted, they were shocked. They immediately rushed over and checked their father, but Huang Xiaofei was lying motionless on the sofa.

Huang Rongtian quickly took out the phone and dialed the emergency center’s phone number, then he said to Huang Rongjin, “I have already contacted the hospital. You quickly go to the garage to start the car. We will send Father to the hospital immediately!”

“Okay!” Huang Rongjin nodded and did not dare to delay. He quickly picked up the car keys and ran out of the house.

Although both Huang Rongtian and Huang Rongjin were indignant at Li Zhichun’s behavior, it was not the time to pursue his responsibility. It was more important to send their father to the hospital first.

They rushed all the way to the hospital. Huang Xiaofei was brought to the operating room. Huang Rongtian and Huang Rongjin anxiously waited for the results in the emergency room.

“Rongjin, this time, our Huang Family is heading to its doom. If Father has any unexpected misfortune, I am not sure whether the Huang Family can still occupy a place in the Singapore business district!” Huang Rongtian sighed and said, “Father is really stupid!”

“Big Brother, now is not the time to complain. We should think about how to recover the loss. We cannot let the Li Family take advantage of us, right?” said Huang Rongjin.

“What can we do about that?” Huang Rongtian said very helplessly. “Li Zhichun also said that we have no evidence. Father transferred the money to Kars. It has nothing to do with him. We can only admit that we were cheated. I think we most probably cannot get back the money anymore.”

” Ai !” Huang Rongjin listened to his big brother’s words, but he also had no choice but to accept this reality. It could not be helped. Who asked his father to be so careless? He just gave the money to another when he was hotheaded!

“The most important thing now is to let our father recover. Otherwise, our Huang Family will be finished!” Huang Rongtian looked anxiously at the emergency room with eager expectancy.

Finally, the lights in the emergency room went off. Several doctors came out from the inside. Huang Rongtian and Huang Rongjin rushed over. “Doctor, how is our father?”

The head of the attending doctors looked at Huang Rongtian and Huang Rongjin and said, “Are you the sons of the patient? The patient’s condition is not very good. The danger has temporarily stabilized, but the acute heart attack caused sudden cerebral hemorrhaging. We need to do cranial surgery. Can you please sign for the operation permission?!”

” Ah !” Huang Rongtian and Huang Rongjin were shocked suddenly. Of course, they knew how serious a cerebral hemorrhage was. It was okay if he recovered well. Otherwise, he would be a vegetative person!

“Alright, don’t delay the time. Let’s make a decision quickly. Which one of you can make the decision?” The doctor asked anxiously, “The patient’s situation does not allow any delay!”

“Okay, I will sign!” Huang Rongtian nodded quickly. He took the operation permit and the signature pen that the nurse handed over and signed his name on it. “Then please operate as soon as possible!”

“Okay!” After taking a look at the operation permit, the doctors gathered people to do surgery for Huang Xiaofei. Huang Rongtian and Huang Rongjin sighed and waited outside the operating room.

“Big Brother, should we tell this matter to Lele?” Huang Rongjin remembered that they just now left in a hurry, and did not say anything to Huang Lele. She did not know that Huang Xiaofei was hospitalized.

“Don’t tell her yet, lest Lele will worry. Wait until Father is out of danger.” Huang Rongtian thought about it and said.

“Alright!” Huang Rongjin nodded. “Li Zhichun, I will never let you go!”

“What can you do about it? Kill him?” Huang Rongtian said with some helplessness. “At present, we really have no solution for Li Zhichun. We can’t even win a lawsuit; we do not even have the evidence…”

Huang Rongjin was just talking about it. As his older brother said, he really had no way.

…

“Little Ya, the CEO of the organizer’s grand theater, Mr. Locklaring, has just been here… ” Shu Ya’s assistant, Xu Li, returned to the hotel room and spoke to Shu Ya.

“Is there something the matter?” asked Shu Ya.

“He said that he wants to hold a small banquet tomorrow, and he wants to invite you to participate. It can be considered as treating you…” said Xu Li.

“Tell him that I thank him for his kindness. I am a little tired. I have to take a break during these two days so that I can have the energy to give a concert,” said Shu Ya.

“Little Ya, this is not the main thing, but Locklaring hinted that there are a few young people with backgrounds who are your fans, and they want to see you in private…” said Xu Li.

Shu Ya frowned immediately after listening, “Why is the entertainment circle here like this too?”

Xu Li suddenly smiled bitterly and said, “Little Ya, the entertainment circle is like this. On the other side in Hong Kong, no one dares to do anything to you because of Mr. Shu’s power, but here, if you want to get the support of these people, you have to deal with these sons of nobles…”

Shu Ya nodded slightly. Before she developed internationally, she also heard similar unspoken rules in Hong Kong, but because of her strong family background, people rarely had intentions on her.

But it was different in foreign countries. If you wanted to develop, you can’t go without socializing. Shu Ya suddenly had a headache. Although she was reluctant, the other party’s request was only to participate in a banquet, so Shu Ya could still barely accept it. But if there were other requirements, Shu Ya would not do anything extraordinary even if she had to give up the entire European market.

“Then you reply to Mr. Locklaring that I am participating in the banquet, but just to participate in the banquet. If there are other things, I can’t accompany you.” Shu Ya hesitated and agreed.

“Alright, I will reply to Mr. Locklaring.” Xu Li nodded, stood up, and then went back to the room to call Locklaring.

Back in the room, Xu Li thought about her own wording, and then dialed Locklaring’s phone. In many cases, this kind of communication could only be done by the manager.

Most of the celebrities were proud, and they would not bow their heads easily, especially international celebrities such as Shu Ya. However, many concert organizers and company people also had very deep backgrounds; the coordination between the two could only rely on the manager.

So Xu Li could not be as tough as Shu Ya in her dialogue with Locklaring. She wanted to find a suitable reason to convince Locklaring.

“Mr. Locklaring? I am Miss Xu, Miss Shu Ya’s agent,” said Xu Li.

“Hello, Miss Xu Li!” Locklaring said quickly and enthusiastically. “What is Miss Shu’s opinion?”

“Miss Shu said that she has just arrived. She is still adapting to the time lag, and she is still a little tired,” Xu Li stated the objective reasons, and then said, “However, since it is Mr. Locklaring’s invitation, Miss Shu said that she naturally will give you this face; she will attend.”

” Oh ? That’s great!” Locklaring breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was not going to work out when he heard Xu Li saying that initially. He was worried about how to explain it to the patriarch, Old Buffon, and Mayor Mark Vader. Now that Shu Ya agreed, it was easy. “Miss Shu is really giving me face. Miss Xu Li, then I will send you a car to pick you up tomorrow night!”

“Okay, but there is something I have to say in advance. Miss Shu will just participate in the banquet. She will not attend other activities… Do you understand what I mean?” Xu Li hinted. “Miss Shu Ya is not short of money, and her family is also very powerful…”

“I understand this!” How could Locklaring not understand Xu Li’s meaning? He quickly nodded and said, “Do not worry. It’s just participating in banquet!”

“Okay, then I am relieved. If there is nothing else, then it’s settled?” asked Xu Li.

“Wait a minute, Miss Xu. There are some things I still have to look at…” Locklaring hesitated and said, “These VIPs are very powerful. One of them is a guest of Mr. Buffon, the patriarch of the Buffon family, the most powerful family in Europe. In addition, the son of Mark Vader, the mayor of the city, and the son of the lieutenant governor are very powerful people, so I hope that you can tell Miss Shu to take care of the big picture tomorrow…”

” Ah !” Xu Li did not expect that these noble sons had such a background. This was what she did not expect before. She thought they could be simply dealt with, but these people were not easy to deal with.

Of course, Shu Ya didn’t realize how powerful the identity of Miss Alice’s guest was, so she didn’t mention this to Xu Li, so Xu Li was a little worried. After all, these people had great power in the local area. Shu Ya was very powerful in Hong Kong, but not here.

After Xu Li told Shu Ya about these people, Shu Ya was also anxious. After all, these people were not easy to deal with, which made Shu Ya have a headache. However, since they had already agreed, if they reneged now, it would be inappropriate.

It couldn’t be helped. Although Shu Ya was not willing, she still had to force herself to go to the banquet.

Shu Ya was really tired. Sometimes, she really wanted to quit her singing career and live carefree days with Yang Ming, but she could only think about it.

If she did this, it will not only hurt the hearts of hundreds of millions of fans, but it might not be a good thing for Yang Ming.

Yang Ming was at the stage of his career development, and Shu Ya did not want to give him too much pressure. Now both of them were still young. If they wanted to enjoy life, there are opportunities in the future. Therefore, Shu Ya still wanted to fight for a few more years and wait until Yang Ming’s career was successful one day, and then she would give up everything.

“Master, the CEO of the grand theater here will hold a small banquet tomorrow. Miss Shu Ya will participate. I have already greeted him. Master, you should also participate!” Old Buffon said.

” Ah ?” Yang Ming didn’t expect Old Buffon to arrange this. Yang Ming’s intention was not to meet Shu Ya directly, but thinking of Old Buffon’s good intention, he could not reject Old Buffon. So, he nodded, “Okay, then let’s go together tomorrow.”

“That’s great!” Old Buffon said, “Then I will arrange the car, and then ask someone to order some evening dress!”

“Don’t busy yourself. I will wear this.” Yang Ming looked at his casual outfit and said, “It’s not a formal occasion. It’s just a small gathering. Isn’t it the same?”

“It’s also true!” Old Buffon naturally agreed to what Yang Ming said. He prepared clothes for Yang Ming out of respect for him. He was not giving face to Locklaring. Let Yang Ming give others face? They are not worthy! Old Buffon naturally thought this way.

At four o’clock in the evening, Old Buffon invited Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan to the extended Bentley. Old Buffon drove himself, and they went to the place where the banquet was held.

Old Buffon knew that Yang Ming didn’t like to show too much ostentation, so he didn’t bring too many followers. He did not even bring his driver. It was only the three of them and very low-key.

“Will there be anyone else participating this time?” Yang Ming asked. Yang Ming was not a kind person. He naturally knew the purpose of this banquet was not merely to welcome Shu Ya. Since he could participate, there would definitely be other dignitaries.

Therefore, Yang Ming needed to find out who was at the banquet to avoid some people who had evil intentions on Shu Ya.

“I haven’t investigated this. Why, Master? Is there someone you do not want to see?” Old Buffon asked quickly.

“That’s not it. I want to see what other powerful people are at this banquet,” Yang Ming said.

” Heh , who cares who they are? Master, you can rest assured. As long as it is the person you like, I’ll see who dares to make a move!”
