Chapter 401: Beware of the Rat
"Ms. Aretha knows it very well." Chen Zhu responded calmly, and then tasted the tea he made, secretly satisfied.
Although I haven't tinkered with these things for a while, my skills haven't deteriorated, so they look okay.
Luna didn't say anything. She looked at the cute-shaped tea cup with regret in her eyes.
Given her personality, she probably feels sorry that more people can't see this cup of tea?
Chen Zhuyi guessed silently. Everyone seemed to have an inexplicable tacit understanding. No one spoke anymore. The group of people drank tea in silence.
After finishing the cup of tea, Chen Zhuyi still didn't hear Aretha's words. She understood more and more clearly that this young lady might be waiting for someone to bow their head and make a request.
The Mo family’s goods were seized, which was difficult for others to deal with, but for the eldest lady, it was just a piece of cake.
"Since Miss Aretha is unwilling, then I will never force her. It's getting late, and we should leave here. I hope you can deliver the things as soon as possible."
Chen Zhu stood up with a smile and took the initiative to ask for the things that originally belonged to him.
Pete, and those gifts from Aretha's family, they can be useful when necessary, right?
"I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult." Aretha touched her chin and looked at Chen Zhuyi with a smile, as if everything was under control. "We need to mobilize the connections in Pete's family, and there are some problems with the machine here."
There is a clear destination for the production machines. As a top researcher, Pete's salary is not low, and he can buy several pieces of equipment with it.
Therefore, there are vacancies for more than a dozen machines at once.
Even though Aretha is rich, she really can't afford anything at this moment.
Chen Zhuyi didn't want to understand her difficulties. The goods in their hands were stuck somewhere, and didn't Aretha help?
"Then when does Miss Aretha plan to return the things to us?" Chen Zhu said it bluntly.
She has always been a smart person. At first, she felt that there was no need to tear each other apart, but now, Aretha obviously had no intention of helping.
Then I have to make my words clearer.
"Until you leave here, the goods are temporarily detained. Unless you decide not to take anything, it will definitely take some time to deal with them."
Aretha smiled slightly, her demeanor indescribably calm and confident.
Such an attitude made people feel a surge of nameless anger in their hearts. Even Chen Zhuyi, who claimed to be able to control his temper, found it ridiculous.
Now there is no need to guess. The detention of the goods must have been arranged behind the scenes by Aretha and others. She can release the goods whenever she wants.
People who smile all the time are often the most ruthless when they strike.
"In that case, then we'll just wait for that day." Chen Zhuyi pinched the corner of his clothes, stood up, took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and left with big strides.
Not talking to the host is already quite rude.
Luna raised an eyebrow and poked Aretha: "Why bother?"
It is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Especially for people like them who are at the forefront of the storm, if they are not careful, they may be completely ruined.
Several major families in Hong Kong have now formed a force, and it is obvious that they want to fight with other countries and connect with the inland.
Regardless of who wins or loses, businessmen should naturally have their own judgment, and maintaining a neutral identity is the most beneficial.
"Someone's targeting them. It's best to cut ties as soon as possible, otherwise you'll become a pawn in someone else's hands and there's no telling how they can be used."
Aretha noticed Mu Yun and learned some of Eric's arrangements.
The people from the two families didn't usually have much contact with each other, but because of his notoriety, many people in the Lighthouse knew about Eric's ruthlessness.
Therefore, blocking the possibility of trouble from the very beginning is the most beneficial attitude for them.
"Whatever you want, for the sake of our sisterhood, I don't mind telling you my true feelings."
Seeing that Aretha had made up her mind, Luna waved her hand helplessly, stood up slowly, and prepared to leave slowly, speaking thoughtfully.
"I always feel that Miss Shen is a very good partner. Just for my own sake, I plan to try to help a little."
Aretha shook her head and the door closed completely, which also meant that the two of them had some disagreements on this matter.
Because of their identities, even if Chen Zhuyi and Huo Jinzhi wanted to leave, they still needed to be checked. The guards at the door had a lukewarm attitude, perhaps influenced by Luna.
"Now that we're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Luna took the initiative to stop them before they got on the car.
There was a hint of certainty in her eyes, which became a light in adversity, making Chen Zhuyi a little hesitant.
"You have to choose your partners anyway. Does it matter to you who you work with?"
Luna's words clearly stated what she was going to do, and became the hope that Chen Zhuyi could hold on to at this moment.
"Let's get in the car and talk in detail?" Chen Zhu took a deep breath and used a lot of effort to ensure that he did not do anything particularly inappropriate.
Luna nodded obediently and got into the car. Huo Jinzhi tactfully moved a little further away from them to ensure that his presence would not affect their communication.
"The goods were seized because some people wanted to test your power. Next, perhaps there will be a major purge here as well."
Luna's direct words made Chen Zhuyi not know how to respond.
The big purge mentioned by Lighthouse is definitely not a good thing.
Especially in such a relatively violent environment, to describe it as a river of blood is probably an understatement.
"As long as you don't take any excessive action, Eric won't target you. They will test every group of people who come to us to ensure that no spies get in."
Luna continued to speak out what she knew.
The support war in previous years had already made Lighthouse realize that this country was not so easy to bully.
They will naturally be cautious, otherwise, if war really breaks out again, it may not be something that everyone wants to see.
The current international situation requires peace.
How to maintain its dominant position in peace is what Lighthouse has been thinking about over the years.
"Then what should we do next?" Chen Zhu understood, but pretended to be stupid and asked, like a person who was anxious because he couldn't get the goods, and sighed deeply.
"We all came here to do business. I just took over and I've already caused so much trouble. I don't know how I'll be scolded when I go back."
