As Huo Zhongyuan's roommate in college, Mu Kefei naturally noticed that Huo Zhongyuan was distracted.
"Is your sister-in-law having some kind of trouble?"
"Um!"
Huo Zhongyuan nodded.
"Do you know Duncan who came to Huating last time?"
Seeing Mukfi's blank expression, he reminded him.
"Duncan of South American Power, the executive who ended up in Huating Detention Center for drug use!"
"Oh, it's him!"
Mukfi suddenly realized.
"Could it be that he made things difficult for his younger siblings in the US?"
"Not yet, but they've probably already set their sights on Sui Sui."
“Sui Sui will be staying in M country for about seven days, and I’m a little worried about her.”
At this point, Huo Zhongyuan had already begun adjusting his schedule for the week. If he had enough time, he wanted to book a flight to M country for the next two days.
“I plan to fly to M country in a few days to meet up with Sui Sui, otherwise I will always be worried about her.”
If something unpredictable happens, he will never forgive himself until his death.
"Huo Zhongyuan, judging from your sister-in-law's personality, she must have planned for the dangers she might encounter; she should have a plan in mind!"
Mukfi couldn't help but voice his doubts.
"Is Duncan really so lawless in the US? Are his siblings in danger?"
"We don't know yet, but the Duncan family is a long-established family in the United States. Although Duncan himself doesn't have much real power in the family, he has a good eye for investment. As long as he invests in an industry, it will basically be a success."
"In addition, he has made some progress in his investments in South American Electric in recent years. He is the executive director of South American Electric. It is said that Duncan admires him very much, and his influence in the family is growing."
"I see!" No wonder Huo Zhongyuan was so worried.
As for the issue of recovering the absconded funds from Xinjia Group, we can only consider other approaches at present.
Given Huo Zhongyuan's current mood, he definitely didn't have any extra energy.
He reassured me, "I'm going on a business trip to Beicheng tomorrow. If you need any help, just give me a call!"
"Okay, I'll contact you if I need anything!"
The two then exchanged a few more words about work.
Huo Zhongyuan was too worried about Qin Suisui to continue the conversation. He glanced at the time, then, anxious about company matters, got up and left.
Now that we've decided to go to M country, the first thing we need to do is get our current work sorted out.
Qin Suisui was unaware of Huo Zhongyuan's worries. At that moment, she was having a meal with her former assistant, Lily, at a very famous traditional restaurant in Mexico.
This restaurant offers authentic traditional Southwestern cuisine, as well as M-style burgers and other traditional dishes.
"Sheffield, I never expected you to call me."
After a year apart, Lily was even more enthusiastic than Qin Suisui had imagined.
Throughout the meal, Lily chattered on and on, revealing almost everything that had happened at the Law Offices of Rhodes over the past year.
"Sheffield, you may not know this, but in the past year, the board members of the Law Offices at Rodton have been acting more and more left-leaning!"
"It must be related to Congress's recent attitude!"
Qin Suisui held a spoon and gently stirred the thick soup in the cup.
"Most of the shareholders of the Law Offices of Rhoton are very close to those people in Congress."
"Yes, those warmongers have been clamoring in Congress all day long, and the major military industrial groups have orders booked almost two years into the future!"
Lily complained softly as she touched her enormous belly.
"Sheffield, I don't want my little darling to be born into a world full of violence and war."
When Lily talks about her children, her face radiates maternal warmth.
At the beginning of this year, she became pregnant unexpectedly. William was overjoyed when he heard the news and immediately took her to register their marriage.
The baby is already over seven months old and will be born in a little over two months.
"Sheffield, after I give birth, I'll take her to Z country to find you, okay?"
"Of course!"
In the past few years in M country, she has met many people, and Lily is one of the people she respects.
Intelligent, enthusiastic, and tactful.
"Oh, by the way, I brought you what you asked for!"
Lily suddenly remembered what Sheffield had asked her to bring. She looked down, took out a wrapped box from her backpack, and handed it over.
"Everything is in there, exactly as you requested!"
"Dear Lily, thank you so much! This is exactly what I need right now. Thank you so much!"
Qin Suisui stood up, took the box from her hand, and put her arm around her neck, pressing her cheek against hers.
Having gotten what she wanted, she felt increasingly cheerful.
“Lily, I’m so sorry, I didn’t know you had a baby. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have let you fly all the way to Mexico.”
She can still recall the moment of surprise she felt when she saw Lily walking towards her, supporting her back and heavily pregnant.
I want to give you a surprise!
Lily stuck out her tongue, tilted her head, and smiled charmingly.
“Sheffield, I have to face those hypocritical scoundrels at the law firm every day.”
She lowered her head and gently stroked her belly.
“I was worried that my baby would have an adverse reaction. It’s not easy to get a change of environment, so I bought a plane ticket and flew over without thinking twice.”
“William didn’t stop me when he found out. He’s in Virginia now, and he’ll come directly from Virginia to pick me up tomorrow.”
Lily couldn't hide the happiness on her face.
Qin Suisui was genuinely happy for Lily. She had met William a few times and found him to be a sincere and steady man.
He was seven or eight years older than Lily and was completely infatuated with her. Whenever Lily was around, he couldn't see anyone else.
"Tell William that when he arrives in Mexico, I'd like to invite you and your wife to a simple meal together!"
“William will be very happy to know this. He hasn’t seen you in a long time. It’s a pity, Sheffield, that you won’t be able to stay in Mexico for long, otherwise you would have been able to see my little Betty soon!”
"She must be very beautiful!"
"…………………".
The two chatted happily, but Qin Suisui couldn't stay too long.
The next day, they would have their first direct confrontation with the Cecil Group in the Mexican federal court.
Team members, including Wen Zong, were all feeling anxious to stand in the birthplace of Western law for the first time and make their own arguments.
Staying away from home for extended periods can cause them unnecessary speculation and worry.
Moreover, Lily's belly meant she couldn't sit for long periods; after a while, you could see obvious signs of fatigue on her face.
After dinner, Qin Suisui took Lili back to her hotel.
After watching Lily enter her hotel room, she took a taxi back to her own hotel.
