Chapter 498 Who to Save First
Seeing that Cribber was indeed suspicious of this matter, John's expression became a little unnatural.
"When he was leaving your office, he said he wanted to give you a surprise and asked me to arrange it." John pretended to think carefully before answering, "Then I took advantage of this evening to bring him over."
"Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Cribbble said in a deep voice. His tone was obviously angry and his voice was much lower.
"This is a surprise!" John said with a smile.
“…”
Cribber's face was solemn, and he stared at John without blinking, as if he wanted to see through him.
"You and him don't get along well?" John asked doubtfully. "I thought you had a good relationship."
Cribber resisted the urge to throw the ashtray at the other person's face. He had just signed a bill of more than 4 billion US dollars. Was it possible for him to get along with Tang Shuo?
He took two deep breaths and waved his hand, saying, "You can get out."
A smile flashed in John's eyes, and then he immediately nodded, bowed and walked out.
He knew that Cribber's decision to let him go did not mean he had given up his suspicion of him, but he didn't care about that now, and he wouldn't be bothered by it.
Cribber looked at John's back as he left, closed his eyes and lay back in the chair.
Four billion US dollars!
What method will he use to convince the rest of the family this time?
…
Switzerland, a lakeside villa.
Todd put down the phone, frowned gloomily, and didn't know what he was thinking.
A young man standing next to him saw this and asked in confusion, "Father, what happened?"
Todd said with a gloomy expression: "The murderer who killed your brother has appeared."
"ah!"
The young man was very surprised and said, "Didn't you say he was dead?"
"Maybe there's something wrong with the intelligence." Todd answered patiently.
This young man was Carl's younger brother, Jimmy. He had just turned twenty and was the smartest of Todd's sons. If it weren't for his youth and lack of experience, Todd would have been planning to hand over the Lawrence family to Jimmy.
Even so, this did not affect his partiality towards Jimmy. Whenever there were problems with some family, he would tell him about them to increase his experience.
"What about our agreement with Burberry?" asked the young man Jimmy.
"There may be some changes." Todd replied, and then continued: "Go tell McCarthy to make arrangements. I'm going to London now."
"But your legs..."
Jimmy said with a worried look on his face, "The doctor said you need to rest for a while."
Todd sighed helplessly, with an unwilling look on his face.
More than a decade ago, he was injured in a fall during a horseback riding competition. Initially, there wasn't anything unusual about his condition, but as he got older, the problem became increasingly apparent. Now, any change in weather or a slight lack of attention can worsen his condition, and in severe cases, he can barely stand.
"Why don't I go for you?" Jimmy said.
"you?"
Todd looked up at the other party in surprise, seeming to be very surprised by the other party's proposal.
"yes."
Jimmy nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, Dad. I will definitely be able to handle this matter."
"All right."
Todd pondered for a moment, then said, "You can go, but if you're unsure about anything, you must discuss it with me first."
Todd had told Jimmy almost everything about Tang Shuo, Tang Yun, and Burberry, and also told him his plans, so Jimmy could be considered very familiar with the situation.
"no problem."
Jimmy agreed excitedly, and then immediately said, "I'll ask McCarthy to prepare it."
"Yeah." Todd nodded and said, "Let McCarthy go with you. Be careful on the road."
"Thank you, father."
Watching Jimmy leave, Todd nodded with satisfaction.
Jimmy's personality is most similar to his, and he is also looking forward to what kind of answer the other party will give.
However, if he knew in advance that Jimmy would die in London, I wonder if he would regret his decision.
…
Royal Hospital.
After the doctor's examination, Jiang Tiantong was confirmed to be able to be discharged from the hospital, so everyone decided not to stay in the hospital any longer.
Tang Shuo completed the discharge procedures and returned to the ward and said, "Okay, I can leave now."
"Um."
Jiang Tiantong, who had already packed his things, agreed, then glanced at Li Yihe beside him and asked, "Where are we staying?"
"I'll just stay in the wine shop for now..."
Tang Shuo was halfway through his words when he noticed the murderous intent in Li Yihe's eyes and immediately changed his words, "Whatever."
Li Yihe snorted softly, as proud as a victorious rooster. He said to Jiang Tiantong, "You should stay at my house."
"Okay." Jiang Tiantong agreed without hesitation.
She was already used to Li Yihe's apartment, so she didn't want to make any changes. She had also bought several floors adjacent to Li Yihe's apartment for convenience, so her safety was somewhat guaranteed.
Du Bing supported Jiang Tiantong and walked in front, while Li Yihe and Tang Shuo followed behind each other.
Li Yihe couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw Tang Shuo's eyes fixed on Jiang Tiantong. After punching Tang Shuo in the waist, who was carrying a lot of things in his hands, he asked the classic question.
"If Jiang Tiantong and I fell into the water together, who would you save first?" Li Yihe asked seriously.
“…”
Tang Shuo's facial muscles twitched, and he chuckled dryly and said, "Why would you ask such a strange question?"
Answering this question was a complete waste of time and effort, so Tang Shuo could only gloss over it.
"I want you to answer now." Li Yihe continued.
"Don't you know how to swim?"
"What if I can't?"
"Then I'll save both of you." Tang Shuo said sincerely, "Don't worry, I'm a good swimmer."
Li Yihe wrinkled her nose and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't try to change the subject, I'm asking who you want to save first!"
"We all said we would save them together."
When Tang Shuo answered, he tucked the two bags he was carrying under his armpits and demonstrated to Li Yihe on the spot. He then continued, "I can swim without using my hands."
Can you answer like this?
Li Yihe didn't doubt Tang Shuo's ability, but continued to ask, "What if Su Ran is also here? Su Ran is pregnant."
Tang Shuo turned his head to look at the length of his arm. Although Jiang Tiantong and Li Yihe were both well-proportioned, it was still difficult for him to hold both of them with one arm.
And his intuition told him that if he continued to answer, there would definitely be problems.
So he glanced at Li Yihe's face beside him, and took advantage of the other party's moment of daze to say directly: "I will tell Su Ran not to go to the waterside."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Shuo immediately caught up with Jiang Tiantong who was walking ahead.
Will I die if I lie to myself?
Li Yihe was furious. He stomped his feet in anger and followed him dissatisfiedly.
…
Burberry's London headquarters.
Abby, Cribber's secretary, walked into the office, handed over a business card, and said to Cribber, "There are two Chinese people outside who want to see you. They say it's about the Tang Yun Group."
"Two Chinese?" Cribber asked in confusion.
"Yes," Abby replied, "I haven't seen that before."
Cribber flipped through the business card in his hand and muttered, "Beichen Group, Song Wenchang."
After a moment's hesitation, Cribber said, "Please let them in."
"yes."
…
After a while, Abby came back in with two Chinese people.
Cribber looked at the two men carefully. He knew one of them, who was the former vice president of Tang Yun Group, but he had never seen the other man before.
And judging from the postures of the two men, this man is probably the real culprit.
As expected.
The man whom Cribber believed to be the real boss spoke first. He stepped forward with a smile and extended his hand, saying, "Hello, Mr. Barber, my name is Song Wenchang."
Cribber stood up, shook hands with the other person, nodded and said, "Hello."
