Just as Duncan finished washing up, Britney received an email from headquarters.

"You mean the board of directors wants us to abandon the acquisition of Shenglun International and book the next available flight back to China immediately?"

"Yes, Mr. Duncan."

Britney remained calm and serious.

“Dana from the Secretariat told me that starting this morning, our domestic media began to widely publicize the photos of you being arrested in Huating. Domestic media are vying to report on it, and there are all sorts of speculations. The stock market has also begun to fluctuate slightly downwards.”

"Turn on the computer!"

Duncan, drying his wet golden hair with a towel, wrapped himself in a bath towel and walked over to Britney, his thick golden hair covering his muscular chest.

He squeezed into Britney's armchair, his hand naturally encircling her waist, moving upwards to caress her breasts, while his gaze remained fixed on the stock chart on the computer screen.

He paused, then withdrew his hand from her body.

He straightened up and threw the towel in his hand onto the bed.

"Short-term phenomenon; losses in stocks are almost negligible!..."

It seems that the board of directors has reached a consensus on the acquisition of Shenglun International and will proceed according to Dalton's proposal.

He clenched his fists and sighed regretfully. It was his carelessness. If he hadn't taken drugs back then, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state in Huating today, and wouldn't be slinking back to China in such a sorry state.

Duncan has always been a man who accepts defeat, and now that he has lost, he will not continue to wallow in his low spirits.

He half-covered his eyes, pulled the towel off his waist, and bent down to pick up Britney.

"Baby, do you miss me?"

Britney raised her fair arm and wrapped it around his neck, her eyes mischievous, and she giggled.

What do you think, darling?

"It seems they want me to..."

Dunn leaned down and kissed the red lips beneath him forcefully.

……………

When Qin Suisui received the news that Duncan was returning to China, she was preparing to go to the Second Court.

The cases involving Wenhui Pharmaceutical, Chunshen Cultural Tourism, and Mu Lanchao were heard for the second time today.

"What a pity to let him return to his country like this!"

She felt a little regretful, thinking that Dong Shu might still have some reservations and didn't go all out to destroy Duncan.

Otherwise, given our country's requirements regarding the weight of drugs used, it wouldn't be as simple as just being released; they would be directly deported, and might even face imprisonment.

"Lawyer Qin, do I still need to continue monitoring the people I have with Duncan?"

Hong Tao asked cautiously. Ever since Qin Lu asked him to send someone to keep an eye on Duncan's words and actions, he had become increasingly respectful of Qin Lu.

He and Qin Lu were from completely different worlds; his mind worked in ways I couldn't even imagine.

He never considered himself a roughneck before, but now he thinks that being a roughneck suits his identity perfectly and makes him feel very safe.

If he hadn't been involved himself, he would never have believed that someone could have such a precise grasp of human nature, that Qin Lu could predict every move Duncan made.

"My people at the hotel said that Duncan's secretary had already started booking his return tickets."

"Don't back out yet, keep an eye on Duncan's flight until it takes off!"

Qin Suisui calmly replied that she did not believe that Duncan would return home so dejectedly after suffering such a great humiliation in Z country. It was completely inconsistent with his inherent wolfishness and arrogance.

"Duncan won't leave Huating so easily, Director Hong. Have your people keep a close watch on his every move when he leaves the country, and let me know when the time comes."

"Okay, Lawyer Qin, I'll arrange it right away!"

Hong Tao hung up the phone and immediately called the person supervising Duncan, asking him to keep a closer eye on him as the game progressed.

As soon as Qin Suisui entered the courtroom, she instructed everyone, including Zhang Lan, to turn off their phones.

"Qin Lu, what is the intention behind this?"

Faced with Zhang Lan's puzzled expression, she spoke sincerely.

"I don't want any unexpected complications to occur; this is the safest approach."

Despite her doubts, Zhang Lan turned off her phone, including Huang's assistant's, in response to Qin Lu's explanation.

Standing outside the hotel's floor-to-ceiling window, looking in the direction of the courthouse, Duncan asked expressionlessly.

"What's going on at the courthouse?"

Britney, standing behind him, shook her head.

"According to information obtained by President Mu, all of Sheffield's phones are switched off. The surveillance facilities of the Z Country court are very comprehensive, and he dares not make any moves!"

"That idiot Mu, I really overestimated him!"

Duncan clicked his tongue in amazement, licking his upper lip, his interest in Sheffield growing stronger.

"What a vigilant little darling!"

"Let them go. It was just an invitation to coffee, a little joke!"

He turned and gave Britney instructions, raising an eyebrow.

"Honey, do you think that little Xie Fei planted a detection device on me? Or is she just secretly in love with me?"

From the moment he entered, Duncan analyzed the vested interests around him one by one, including his colleague Dalton, Yang Jiangbei of Huating Power and his associates, and of course, Sheffield!

Based on the information they had, none of the people in Huating had the means to send him in.

Only Dalton, he had already captured the man who had come with him to Huating to supervise him.

Even if Dalton didn't do it, he still has to pin the blame on Dalton now, otherwise how can he explain Shenglun International's investment to the board of directors?

A multi-billion dollar investment could become a bad debt, which he can't afford to bear alone!

As for the others in Huating, including Xie Fei, he will always have time to spend with them and have a good time together.

He wouldn't let any enemy who might scheme against him get away with it, even if she was a cute little thing!

"Britney, let's go to the airport. I'm sure Dalton and the others are eager to see me!"

Duncan chuckled, grabbed his coat from the bed, and was the first to leave the guest room.

Standing in the second courtroom, Wang Hui's feelings were completely different from the first time.

The feeling of opportunism versus the feeling of things settling down.

He could sense the conflict between President Mu and President Zhang. Their open and honest argument, even right in front of him, made him understand the cause and effect of the conflict more clearly.

The information provided by Qin Lu in court last time was largely the same, except that Mu Lanchao's handwriting was present throughout.

It turned out that Mu Lanchao orchestrated the affair and the transfer of assets.

This includes the initial encounter between He Jiang and Zhang Jun.

If President He knew in the afterlife that such a smart man like him had been played like this, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life and tear them both apart.

In the courtroom, the same judge was presiding.

The presiding judge struck the gavel.

"Now, regarding the equity transfer agreement between Wenhui Pharmaceutical and Chunshen Cultural Tourism, the court is now in session..."

Qin Suisui began to argue slowly and methodically based on the evidence she had in hand.

"Your Honorable Presiding Judge, Clerk, and Jury..."
