Inside the private room, Ye Chen and Mahmoud had already reached an agreement.
After Ye Chen returned, he contacted someone to send the captured Ibrahim family henchman to the police station.
Mahmoud would also give orders to ensure that this "witness" would not have the slightest problem.
Of course, Mahmoud did this not only because he knew how powerful Ye Chen was, but also because of Caroline.
He gave Caroline face.
After finishing our meal, we finished discussing everything.
Ye Chen and Mahmoud walked out of the private room together and headed outside.
At this moment, outside the restaurant, after a journey of more than forty minutes, old Ibrahim finally arrived in front of the restaurant.
"Only Mahmoud is missing."
Old Ibrahim glanced at the list he had prepared; he had already taken care of most of the important figures he needed to bribe.
Now, all that's missing is this "crucial figure," the top legal expert—Mahmoud.
Moreover, he did not ask Mahmoud to stand on his side, he only hoped that Mahmoud would remain neutral and not side with Ye Chen when he confronted Ye Chen.
This isn't a high requirement, is it?
For this reason, he specially prepared a bank card.
It contains eight digits.
With this bank card, Mahmoud should not refuse.
After all, one was the Ibrahim family, a local behemoth, and the other was a foreigner with no local roots.
Mahmoud would have to be out of his mind to choose Ye Chen's side.
He now has the support of many influential figures in the legal field, and his victory is practically guaranteed.
Thinking it over, old Ibrahim got out of the car with a smile and headed straight for the restaurant.
Before Ibrahim could even enter the restaurant, Mahmoud had already come out.
Both sides saw each other.
Mahmoud's expression turned slightly off when he suddenly saw old Ibrahim after having just talked with Ye Chen about going against the Ibrahim family.
He deliberately avoided old Ibrahim.
Old Ibrahim, however, did not notice this and approached Mahmoud after spotting him.
"Hello Mr. Mahmoud, it's been a long time."
Old Ibrahim came over and greeted Mahmoud.
"Hello."
As a politician, Mahmoud adjusted his expression almost instantly, greeting Ibrahim with a smile.
After exchanging a few casual words, old Ibrahim got down to business.
He glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then immediately took the black bank card out of his pocket and quietly slipped it into Mahmoud's hand.
Upon seeing this, Mahmoud quickly took a few steps back and did not accept the bank card.
What do you mean by that?
Mahmoud asked.
“Um… Mr. Mahmoud, I’ve recently run into some trouble; I had a little conflict with a foreigner…”
Old Ibrahim began to explain.
"The other party is being unreasonable and insists on confronting our Ibrahim family. In that case, we hope Mr. Mahmoud can be lenient."
"It's just a small token of my appreciation."
"A foreigner?"
Mahmoud muttered to himself.
"Yes, he's a foreigner. He has some money, but he has no connections or influence here. He's just a useless piece of trash..."
Old Ibrahim started speaking ill of Ye Chen.
However, before old Ibrahim could finish speaking, a sudden voice came from inside the restaurant.
Are you talking about me?
Suddenly interrupted, old Ibrahim looked up impatiently.
The next second, a young man slowly walked out of the restaurant with a playful smile on his face.
Just now, after leaving the private room, Ye Chen asked Mahmoud to leave first because he needed to say a few words to Caroline's female assistant.
When Ye Chen and Caroline's female assistant came out, they could hear old Ibrahim talking badly about them from afar.
Caroline's assistant recognized old Ibrahim's identity and immediately informed Ye Chen.
Old Ibrahim was stunned when he saw Ye Chen suddenly appear.
It's so embarrassing to be caught talking badly about someone.
Just as old Ibrahim was about to say something, he suddenly noticed a detail.
After Ye Chen walked out of the restaurant, he stood naturally next to Mahmoud.
Something's not right!
Old Ibrahim realized something was wrong!
"you?"
Old Ibrahim asked cautiously.
"Mr. Ye and I have already eaten."
Now that things have come to this, Mahmoud has made his stance clear and is on Ye Chen's side.
"What?!"
Old Ibrahim was suddenly in a bad mood.
He had come all this way, but he was still a step too late, allowing Ye Chen to meet with Mahmoud ahead of time, and Ye Chen even received Mahmoud's support.
With the support of Mahmoud, one of the most important figures in the judiciary, all his previous efforts and the support he had gained from those bigwigs were in vain.
In an instant, the balance of power shifted dramatically.
Just now, I was still confident of winning.
Now, with Mahmoud's support, Ye Chen is in a superior position, while Ye Chen is in a weaker position.
Sometimes, even he found it extremely difficult to meet with Mahmoud. How did Ye Chen, this foreigner, manage to connect with Mahmoud and gain his support?!
Old Ibrahim couldn't understand it.
At that moment, Caroline's female assistant also came out.
"Mr. Ye, I need to go back and report, so I'll be leaving now."
Caroline's female assistant took the initiative to say goodbye to Ye Chen.
Old Ibrahim was completely dumbfounded when he saw this!
Because Caroline has mobility issues, many things in the Middle East are handled by her female assistant.
Therefore, many prominent figures and members of large families in the Middle East knew Caroline's female assistant, including Ibrahim the Elder.
Seeing how familiar Ye Chen and Caroline's female assistant were, Old Ibrahim felt a sense of foreboding.
He now understood why Ye Chen was able to know Mahmoud.
If nothing unexpected happens, Caroline is also on Ye Chen's side.
He had just mocked Ye Chen for having no connections or influence in the local area.
As a result, Ye Chen soon gained the support of Mahmoud and the mysterious Caroline.
Old Ibrahim's face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
After pausing for a moment, when he looked at Ye Chen again, old Ibrahim seemed to have suddenly become a different person.
The next second, old Ibrahim's words shocked everyone present!
