Chapter 475 Meeting
Although Song Wenchang knew that Zhang Jingxin would never lie, he still felt that the news was unreliable.
Since when have members of the royal family started walking on the streets?
And what is the relationship between Tang Shuo and the other party?
However, a European woman and a mixed-race little girl did appear in Tang Shuo's home. The two were currently being watched by his people, so he was aware of these things.
Seeing Song Wenchang's shocked expression, Zhang Jingxin continued, "Have you heard about the princess's wedding that was widely reported by media outlets around the world some time ago?"
Song Wenchang thought carefully for a while, nodded and said, "It seems to be the case."
He vaguely remembered hearing about this incident, but it was far away from him, so he just glanced at it briefly at the time and didn't take it seriously at all.
Song Wenchang quickly recovered from his shock and looked at Zhang Jingxin and asked, "You mean?"
"That woman is the royal princess, Louise." Zhang Jingxin nodded and replied, "Tang Shuo came to the Sun Never Sets for this very reason. I'm not too sure what happened afterwards."
As if to give Song Wenchang enough time to digest the information, Zhang Jingxin paused and then continued, "The man who was engaged to this Louise was called Carl, and he's dead."
A strange look flashed in Song Wenchang's eyes. This news was undoubtedly very important, but he had not yet figured out how to use it.
Logically speaking, Tang Shuo is dead now, and he shouldn't continue to dwell on this matter, let alone cause trouble for Tang Shuo's family.
But Jiang Tiantong's current behavior was constantly irritating him. And considering his hatred for Tang Shuo, how could he let it go unless he destroyed his family?
After Zhang Jingxin finished speaking, he fell silent. After sitting on the sofa for a while, he stood up and said, "I will try to win over Yang Chen as soon as possible. Wait for my news."
"Thank you for your hard work." Song Wenchang stood up and said.
Zhang Jingxin ignored Song Wenchang's question and stood up and walked directly to the car outside the cafe.
Song Wenchang watched the other person disappear from view, took out his phone, dialed a number and said, "No need to follow him. Go and book the fastest flight back to China right now."
"Yes!" the person on the other end of the phone immediately agreed.
Song Wenchang hung up the phone, turned his head and looked at the boundless night outside the glass window and fell into deep thought.
I don't know what he was thinking about. A ferocious look suddenly appeared on his face, which looked particularly cold under the light of the cafe.
…
Hotel, presidential suite.
Mason followed the middle-aged man awkwardly, seeming a little uncomfortable with the extravagant decoration in the room.
He could be said to be pretending to look like this, or he could be said to be like this naturally.
First of all, he himself was indeed not used to such an environment.
However, after receiving the money from the monkey, he could be considered a small wealthy man, so such spending was not beyond his reach.
But in fact he never touched the money.
It’s not that I don’t dare, but that I don’t want to.
Because at the moment he got the money, Mason suddenly felt that he was unable to adapt to this new identity.
He had always dreamed of becoming rich one day and had made all sorts of plans for his life. But when he finally got the money, he felt lost and didn't know what to do next.
“Ka…Karl…”
Just as Mason was lost in thought, Todd's greeting interrupted his thoughts.
Mason nodded immediately and responded, "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Todd."
"I'm the one who disturbed you, please sit down."
Todd, who was sitting on the sofa, pointed to the seat next to him and said to the middle-aged man who followed in, "McCarthy, pour two glasses of water."
The middle-aged man responded and immediately turned around to pour water for the two of them.
Mason sat down next to Todd as he was told and said, "Thank you."
Todd smiled and then asked, "What exactly did you say yesterday about? I hope you can tell me in detail."
Although Carl did something that made the entire Lawrence family shameful, he was still Todd's biological son after all.
If he hadn't died now, Todd might have found him and killed him himself. But the fact that he had died so unexplained inevitably left Todd with a grudge.
Although the police concluded that the cause of death was a conflict between the man and his bodyguard Parker over money, Todd didn't believe the wording at all.
Originally he was just a little confused about this matter, but after meeting Mason yesterday, he finally confirmed the issue.
Leaving aside the matter of revenge, he at least wanted to find out what exactly happened.
Mason pondered for a moment, thinking over his prepared story in his mind, and then said, "It was probably the day before Karl and Princess Louise's wedding. We met by chance at the Ambassador Casino."
The middle-aged man McCarthy brought the water over, silently placed it in front of Mason and the other man, then stepped aside, his eyes still fixed on Mason's expression.
Mason subtly avoided McCarthy's gaze and continued, "He told me at the time that he had recently prepared a big move, and planned to announce it to the family after the good news of his marriage."
"Is it about that luxury brand?" Todd asked doubtfully.
"right."
Mason nodded and continued, "He told me he had found evidence against the other party and that negotiations had already begun. However, he seemed very uneasy at the time, and I even advised him to relax a little. But I didn't expect that incident to be reported the next day, and then the news of Carl's death came out."
“What brand is it?”
"I don't know." Mason said, "I just vaguely heard him say something about Chinese people."
"Chinese?"
Todd narrowed his eyes, nodded to McCarthy, who was standing aside, and then asked, "Did he tell you what the evidence was?"
Mason's words had successfully piqued Todd's interest. Now that the identity of this "Carl" had been confirmed, there couldn't be any problems. Furthermore, if he wanted to investigate the cause of his son Carl's death, he would have to trace it back to this luxury brand.
He had some knowledge of some European families that operated luxury brands. This field had yet to be seen by anyone in Asia, let alone the Chinese. With this clue, he thought it would be easy to identify the target.
He naturally knew what it meant to control a luxury brand. If he could investigate Carl's affairs thoroughly and take the brand into his possession, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
"It was said to be about funding, but Carl didn't elaborate on the details and I didn't ask." Mason said sincerely.
Todd nodded, frowning as he began to think about something.
It seemed that Mason's answer did not seem to have any substance, but Todd was already very satisfied.
If Mason's answer was very specific, he would have doubted the other party's motives.
Mason looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him, took the initiative to approach him, patted his shoulder and said, "Mr. Todd, I am deeply sorry for your loss."
Todd shook his head imperceptibly at McCarthy, who had already pulled out a gun from behind his back, and replied, "Thank you."
Mason didn't hear anything unusual and breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded with a sad face and said, "If you need any help, Mr. Todd can come to me anytime."
"Um."
Todd did not laugh at Mason's answer, which sounded a bit presumptuous, but agreed very solemnly.
Mason then stood up and said, "Mr. Todd, I won't bother you anymore."
"Stay and have dinner with me before you leave!" Todd stood up and said.
Although Todd's tone sounded very sincere, it could be seen from his action of getting up to see him off that the other party had already subtly expressed his intention to see him off.
Although Mason hadn't thought of this, he himself had no intention of continuing the conversation with Mason.
It is naturally best to keep things brief, and Mason is well aware of the principle that too much talk leads to mistakes.
After declining again, he walked straight towards the door of the room.
Todd didn't lower himself to see off a junior. After Mason left, he turned and looked at McCarthy.
