Chapter 962: Huo Bailian, the Untainted One
Things have come to this.
There's no point in arguing any further.
Pei Zheng knew that delaying the situation was hopeless; his communications had failed. He wondered if Zhao Qin was capable of bringing someone over, which would have been a glimmer of hope.
"Mr. Huo, we are all businessmen. Harmony is the most important thing. You can do the business I do. If we can join forces, we may do better. The Li and Zheng families are too stingy. Only people like Mr. Huo can do big business."
Since we can’t beat him.
Then win them over.
The world is bustling with people seeking profit.
The world is bustling with people seeking profit.
He felt that Huo Xingzhou would be tempted.
If the chips aren't enough, keep adding them. Keep adding until he's tempted. Everyone in this world is burdened by money. If someone seems uninspired, it's simply because the chips aren't enough.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Pei. How do you plan to cooperate with me?"
Huo Xingzhou was also waiting.
He didn't mind chatting with Pei Zheng for a while, as there would be no chance for them to meet in the future. Oh, and he also promised to send him a seafood meal after Pei Zheng went to jail.
"Tonight, let my boat go and pretend you didn't see anything. I'll give you 30% of the profits, and we'll split it 50-50 in future cooperation. I'll provide the channels and you'll provide the goods. I remember your wife's Liu family has an antique shop, and they have countless treasures in their home. It would be a waste to keep those treasures in the closet. It would be more practical to convert them into money."
Huo Xingzhou said slowly: "It seems that you have gained more advantage."
"We can discuss the profit later."
Although Pei Zheng was reluctant to spend so much money, he also understood that Huo Xingzhou had the final say now.
"Mr. Pei doesn't seem to understand the situation. If I don't leave tonight, your goods will have to stay here forever. I don't know what the outcome will be, let alone what will happen in the future. It can be said that your life and property depend on my thoughts."
Is this too little?
Greedy indeed.
Huo Xingzhou was able to develop Tianyuan Group to its current state, which shows that he is a businessman by nature.
But Pei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
If the interests can be negotiated, then it doesn't matter if he suffers a little loss. First, save the Pei family, and deal with other things later.
The funds he had embezzled from Li Cheng in advance were considered as debts. After all, Li Cheng and he were unlikely to fall out. He could just pay him back slowly in the future, and all the shares of Pei's would also return to him.
All in all, the situation is not too bad.
"Mr. Huo, how much do you want? We can talk about it."
"The entire Pei family."
"You are not sincere. I really want to do business with you. But you are kidding me. What about the entire Pei family!" Pei Zheng's face fell.
He had good intentions in discussing cooperation with Huo Xingzhou, but he had this attitude.
Huo Xingzhou said slowly, "But I'm not discussing business with you. Mr. Pei, don't you know your situation?"
"Boss Huo, please forgive others when you can."
"Boss Pei, one wrong move can lead to a complete loss. What are you waiting for?" Huo Xingzhou knew very well what Pei Zheng was waiting for, and he also knew that Pei Zheng would definitely get his answer.
But so what?
He wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Pei Zheng sneered, and while the bodyguards were not paying attention, he escaped and distanced himself from the Huo family.
With a mocking look on his face, he said, "Huo Xingzhou, do you think you can win tonight? My people are here! You lost because you talked too much nonsense and still have a conscience. In our line of work, we can't be too soft-hearted. If necessary, it doesn't matter if we get our hands dirty."
He was originally trying to show weakness to Huo Xingzhou, but when he saw his own people appeared, he could no longer hold back.
It is still unknown who will win.
“Brother-in-law!”
"Brother-in-law, we are here!"
Zhao Qin arrived with a large group of men, many of whom were his gang acquaintances. Their fighting ability wasn't great, but their numbers seemed substantial.
At least it's impressive!
Zhao Qin was furious when he saw Huo Xingzhou's face. "Huo Xingzhou, you're despicable! The Thirteen Bay Wharf deliberately lured me in. You just wanted to deceive me. Luckily, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have fallen into your trap tonight."
"That's just because you're stupid. But I have to thank you, otherwise I wouldn't be sure that the transaction took place at the old dock."
Huo Xingzhou's words were like knives.
"You...what do you mean! I never said that!" Zhao Qin quickly expressed his loyalty, "Brother-in-law, I didn't betray you! That bastard Huo Xingzhou must be trying to sow discord between us. Don't believe him."
"I know."
Pei Zheng knew very well that now was not the time to pursue responsibility, and they had to destroy the body as soon as possible.
He glanced at the people Zhao Qin had brought with him. They were quite numerous and could fight Huo Xingzhou.
"Zhao Qin, find a way to burn all the long-staple cotton on the boat. Those calligraphy and paintings are flammable, and there won't be any evidence left."
"Brother-in-law, wouldn't that be a shame? Let's kill Huo Xingzhou and continue with this deal."
"Listen to me! Find an opportunity!"
Pei Zheng knew that Huo Xingzhou would not be killed so easily, so it was more important to destroy the evidence first.
No matter how unwilling Zhao Qin was, he would listen to Pei Zheng.
But the look he gave Huo Xingzhou became even more vicious.
"Brother-in-law, be careful."
He seemed to have forgotten something.
Pei Zheng nodded, "Where's Li Cheng?"
Oh yes!
Where is Li Cheng!
Zhao Qin frowned. Li Cheng clearly said that he had already set off, so where were the others?
"Li Cheng isn't here yet? I contacted him, and he said he'd rush over to rescue you first."
"No."
Huo Xingzhou listened to their conversation and couldn't help laughing: "Where's Li Cheng? You finally remembered that there was a person named Li Cheng. Where did he go?"
"Huo Xingzhou, what did you do!"
"Li Cheng just ran away. He also knew that the outcome of tonight was unpredictable. It would be better to find a way out for himself. It's a pity... the outcome has already been decided..." Huo Xingzhou adjusted his cuffs slowly.
"There seems to be some sound!"
"Car sounds? Lots of cars!"
"No, it's like a police siren!"
"The police are here? How could they…"
Many people noticed this abnormality.
As the car and sirens got closer, they became clearer and clearer.
The people of the Pei family finally woke up from their dream.
Huo Xingzhou didn't want to cooperate at all!
I didn't even think about killing the Pei family!
He wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
From the beginning to the end, the Huo family never thought about taking action, but just watched from the sidelines.
What a white lotus that grows out of the mud without being stained!
Huo Xingzhou!
Pei Zheng glared at him: "You actually called the police!"
"Shouldn't we call the police? Let professionals handle this kind of crime-fighting. I'm just a good citizen passing by."
God damn good citizens!
Police cars were quickly deployed.
The uniformed men moved swiftly and agilely!
"Everyone get down!"
"Hold your head and squat down. Don't move! No one should move!"
The cold pistol poked Pei Zheng's temples, and only four words flashed through his mind.
The game is over.
