Whether they believe it or not, Attorney Lin has already left, leaving behind a table full of documents and materials.
Jia Lindao and Wang Baiwan observed for several hours and finally came to a conclusion.
They spent all their time hunting eagles, only to have their eyes pecked by one; they were most likely tricked.
"Alright, stop standing there like an idiot. Contact the ship we arranged right now, and we'll leave tonight."
Jia Lin gave an order and began to methodically tidy up the documents that were scattered everywhere.
Wang Baiwan nodded, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Why bother cleaning up these scraps of paper?"
"Nonsense, this thing is worth 800 million!"
Jia Lindao snorted coldly and quickened his pace.
"Tch, it's all just something you can't touch. Boss, since we're going to run away, shouldn't we divide the money?"
Wang Baiwan leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and his eyes changed.
Jia Lindao silently turned his head and looked at him with icy eyes.
"Split the money? How the hell are we going to split it now? Half of it in your bank account?"
"If we don't split the money, how can we run away? You tell me?"
"Teach me my ass! Where can you even do business now? Are you blind? Can't you see the time?"
"You fucking insulted me?"
Already feeling irritable, Jia Lindao became even more annoyed when he heard that Wang Baiwan wanted to share the money.
He glared at Wang Baiwan, one hand on his hip, his temper flaring.
As a result, the momentum he had just built up was completely dispelled by Wang Baiwan's powerful chokehold.
Wang Baiwan gripped his neck with one hand, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
"Old Jia, do you really think I'm stupid? All the money from Xingwang Company is now in your account. Do you want me to take the blame?"
"Millions, millions. Let's talk this out, what's the rush? It's already 5:30, how are we going to withdraw the money? Think about it..."
"I don't care about any of that. I won't feel at ease until I get the money!"
"Sigh, young people are so impulsive. If we run together, do you think I, an old man, can outrun you?"
"No way. Give me your bank card and ID card, and I'll keep them safe. Otherwise, nobody's leaving."
"Alright, alright, here you go, let go!"
Jia Lindao was no match for the young and vigorous Wang Baiwan, so he decisively admitted defeat.
With the guarantee in place, Wang Baiwan immediately made a phone call to contact the ship, setting the time for 2 a.m.
Jia Lindao, being an old and shrewd man, quickly calmed Wang Baiwan down.
In the evening, he straightened his clothes and got up.
"Let's go, we can't skip the dinner tonight, or we'll give ourselves away."
"Go again? What if we get...?"
"It's just in case you don't go. If it's the last minute, don't let me down."
Once he calmed down, Wang Baiwan still respected Jia Lindao and obediently followed him out.
The dinner was arranged by Zhao Sihai, so they had no choice but to attend.
During the meal, both men were extremely restrained, lacking their usual enthusiasm as they toasted each other.
Zhao Sihai, observing the situation, asked, "Old Jia isn't drinking much today, is something wrong?"
"You've all seen the bidding information. I need to finalize the project tomorrow, so I can't drink too much."
Jia Lindao explained with a smile, his demeanor unchanged.
Zhao Sihai also smiled, "Old Jia, I heard you haven't even been inside number two lately."
"Hey, the big boss is so busy, he hasn't had time. That's why it's scheduled for tomorrow," Jia Lin said calmly.
Zhao Sihai said with a half-smile, "Is that so? That would be for the best. But with our strength, we can definitely bid. I think we should all go and get the formalities done tomorrow."
Jia Lin nodded in agreement, "That's how it should be. I'll see the leader tomorrow, and then we'll get on with it."
Upon testing him, Zhao Sihai discovered that Jia Lindao did not hesitate at all and was very decisive.
However, it has already been more than a month, and he is still a little worried.
He cautioned, "Old Jia, let's get this straight: we've all staked our lives on this. Don't mess things up, or else..."
"Brother Sihai, you're too kind. If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility! Come, let's drink!"
Jia Lindao was forced into a corner and had no choice but to urge everyone to drink.
When he and Wang Baiwan returned, they were only half-conscious.
The time when we should have left much earlier was dragged out until midnight.
The two walked unsteadily toward the outside of the Sihai Hotel.
"Hey, where are you two bosses going so late at night?"
As soon as they reached the door, the two were stopped by the manager.
Both of them shuddered at the same time. Jia Lin forced himself to remain calm and said, "I feel unwell from being drunk. Let's go out for some fresh air."
"That's a good coincidence. Fourth Master and the others are having hangover soup over there. Please, gentlemen."
Upon hearing this, the manager smiled and pointed towards the restaurant on the first floor.
The scene was completely unexpected for the two of them, and they were stunned for a moment.
The key point is that they are still carrying their bags, so they dare not refuse any more.
Left with no other choice, the two could only follow the manager to the restaurant.
Seeing this, Zhao Sihai sneered, "What are you doing carrying bags in the middle of the night? Leaving?"
"Don't mention it, we just went out for a walk to sober up."
Jia Lindao answered with a forced smile, his forehead already covered in a fine sheen of sweat.
Zhao Sihai gestured for them to sit down, then asked, "What are you doing, one carrying a bag and the other a backpack?"
"If you have important things that you're afraid of losing, it's best to carry them with you at all times."
"Antiques? Let everyone take a look. Besides, would my Sihai Grand Hotel possibly lose your things? Aren't you just slapping me in the face?"
Zhao Sihai took a tough stance and even gestured to his men to open the bag.
