Nangong Jue took two steps back, avoiding Mei Yexue's bear hug.
Mei Yexue pouted: "Brother Ajue..."
"Ye Xue, be more careful." Nangong Jue was somewhat helpless, but he would never soften his stance, because he always remembered that he was a married man. "What kind of behavior is it to hug a man so casually?"
“You…” Mei Yexue was stunned.
"Haha, Sir, you're quite the ladies' man." Locke laughed. "Then I won't bother you any longer."
Nangong Jue nodded slightly.
Locke walked to a spot not far away, but as he walked, he said to his assistant who was beside him, "Have someone keep an eye on Nangong Jue."
The assistant nodded and then left.
Nangong Jue glanced at Mei Yexue: "Where's your brother?"
Mei Yexue snapped out of her daze, but stubbornly turned her head away from him.
Nangong Jue didn't care and turned around to go to the center of the hall. He had already seen Mei Yehan, so he naturally went over to say hello.
Mei Yexue pouted and stomped her foot, but in the end she still followed.
Mei Yehan also saw Nangong Jue, and hurriedly greeted the people around him before coming over: "Lord Jue, it's been a long time."
Nangong Jue raised his glass to clink with the other man's, but did not drink: "I didn't expect you to be cooperating with Locke."
“I’m a businessman. If there’s money to be made, of course I’ll make it.” Mei Yehan took a sip of his red wine. “What do you think?”
“It’s normal for merchants to be profit-driven,” Nangong Jue nodded. “However, some money is not so easy to earn.”
"Thank you for reminding me." Mei Yehan smiled.
"I haven't even congratulated you yet, but you've already smoothly taken over as the head of the family." Nangong Jue raised his glass again and downed it in one gulp.
Mei Yehan's eyes flickered. "Thank you. I should thank you for your help."
"It's nothing," Nangong Jue laughed. "Just don't blame me." He originally had a partnership with the Mei family. After all, they had worked with him before he became a big player, and he was returning the favor. However, he later discovered that although the Mei family had seemingly cleaned up their act, many of their businesses were still illegal. So, he decisively terminated the partnership.
The previous head of the Mei family was Mei Yehan's father, but that old man was a lecherous old man who was completely incompetent in business and became more and more senile as he got older. So, Mei Yehan decisively seized power.
Nangong Jue lent a hand, which can be considered compensation for the termination of the cooperation.
However, to his surprise, Mei Yehan suddenly started cooperating with Locke.
Locke was the person he wanted to capture, once...
However, Nangong Jue is no saint. Although the Locke Group appears to be doing legitimate business, it is actually a criminal gang. They have been tracking this gang with Interpol for two years, cutting off some branches each time, but they can never get to the main body.
However, to be honest, he really has to thank his wife this time. If the Cui family hadn't coveted her kidney, the kidnapping wouldn't have happened, he wouldn't have taken action, and he wouldn't have discovered some suspicious points, followed up the investigation, and eventually found the Locke Group.
In addition, in order to investigate Yan Zimeng, he began to investigate Yang Jinxuan. Although he didn't tell Alan, it wasn't that he didn't find anything; rather, he found something unexpected: Yang Jinxuan was also in contact with Locke's side...
Once is a coincidence, but twice?
