Imu's surprise didn't last long. The host of the dinner party led a guest who had come from afar and introduced him to Imu.
This foreign guest spoke Mandarin with a heavy accent, which was both funny and absurd.
Actually, if he speaks English, Yi Mu can understand him fluently.
This businessman named Adam wanted to cooperate with Yi to trade some highly profitable cross-border goods.
He had barely begun when Yi Mu looked troubled and politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, Yi's is a legitimate company and has no plans to engage in gray border trade in the future."
Adam turned to look at Guan Long, who chuckled and said, "Who can say for sure about the future? You can't be so sure. Mr. Adam, let me introduce you to someone else."
The two turned and left. Yi Mu frowned, becoming even more wary of Guan Long.
Guan Long started out working alongside Yi Mu's father to build the company, and was one of the oldest shareholders, holding considerable influence within the group.
Some shareholders don't respect Yi Mu, but they are very willing to give Guan Long face.
Recently, there have been some discrepancies in the company's accounts, and among the suspects is Guan Long.
Yi Mu silently resolved that when he returned this time, he would definitely investigate Guan Long thoroughly.
As the dinner party drew to a close, Yi Mu declined several women's invitations to stay the night, and just as he put down his wine glass.
Suddenly, something hard pressed against his back, and then his neck was grabbed from behind.
Mr. Adam was so flustered that he blurted out fluent English.
"Don't move, or I'll kill you!"
The menacing voice, coupled with the hard object at his waist, made Yi Mu suspect it was a handgun.
Yi Mu slowly raised his hand and told him in steady English, "I will cooperate with you, don't be impulsive."
The task force had just taken control of Adam's private bodyguard team when a team member reported that Adam had taken hostages.
Upon hearing this news, Lou Xijue pushed his bodyguard into his partner's arms and turned to run into the villa.
The captain's order to retreat was forgotten. Lou Xijue knew that Yi Mu had not left yet, and he had to at least check on Yi Mu's safety.
An Luo stopped Lou Xijue at the door, her expression serious: "This isn't our mission inside. Don't be impulsive; getting punished isn't fun."
Lou Xijue was about to explain to him when he suddenly saw the mission target appear at the door, holding Yi Mu hostage.
An Luo swore he saw murderous intent in Lou Xijue.
During the psychology class, the instructors repeatedly warned them that no matter what operation they were in, they must remain absolutely calm and must never let their emotions be controlled by the mission objectives.
Lou Xijue had clearly forgotten that when An Luo saw him draw his gun and point it at the target's head, his voice was still relatively calm: "Let him go!"
Adam rattled off to them, speaking so fast that no one could understand him.
Imur didn't know why he was so calm. He acted as their translator: "He said he was leaving. Prepare a helicopter for him, or else he'd kill him."
The team leader and negotiation experts arrived at the scene quickly. Adam was very excited. Seeing so many plainclothes officers at the scene, there was nothing he didn't understand.
He's been under surveillance for a long time; there are probably police officers everywhere inside and outside this villa.
In this situation, the hostages become even more important.
He is the president of the Yi Group, a big shot, and the police won't let him tear things apart.
"Give me a helicopter!"
Adam shouted at the crowd in an uncompromising tone.
Where can we get a helicopter in such a short time?
The negotiation expert calmed him down while discussing with the team leader what to do.
Lou Xijue couldn't wait that long. That scoundrel was too rough with his hands, and Yi Mu's face turned red from lack of oxygen.
His eyes were sharp as he slowly raised the gun in his hand, aimed it at Adam's head, and spoke in fluent English in an icy tone.
"You bastard, let's see which gun is faster, yours or mine."
