The hustle and bustle of Los Angeles gradually faded away after reaching its peak.The dust has settled.Roberts ended the incumbent governor's re-election and became the new ruler of the city.As a new official, there are naturally a lot of things to do. Li Jiankun didn't want to disturb him, so he just kept in close contact with Joey and urged him to search for Xu Qingyou.About a week later.Roberts called him personally and asked to see him, saying that things were looking good.Li Jiankun was overjoyed. After receiving the call, he arrived at the municipal building in less than an hour.After registration and security check, about ten minutes later, Li Jiankun met the high-spirited Roberts in a spacious and bright office."Congratulations, Mayor Brad.""Thank you for your support."The two men shook hands, exchanged brief greetings, and then sat down on a set of European-style sofas in the middle of the office.Li Jiankun asked with a smile: "Have you found the person?"Roberts nodded.Li Jiankun pricked up his ears, but Roberts didn't say anything for a long time.The smile on Li Jiankun's face gradually faded, and he said, "If you have something to say, just say it."“It is said that Mr. Li has offered a reward of 100 million US dollars to track down this guy."And your support for me is only 10 million."Roberts smiled and said, "I don't think being generous to you would be a partial person."Li Jiankun looked at him in surprise. This expression was completely different from the past.It turns out that this guy's previous nobleness and integrity were all fake?"I thought we had it settled."Li Jiankun said indifferently: "Ten million is the price you asked for, not what I proposed."In fact, the amount was 10.8 million, and his son still owed 800,000 yuan to the Golden Palace Hotel.Roberts’ smile remained undiminished: “Yes, but we didn’t know about the reward at the time."Mr. Li, shouldn't we be fair and just in our conduct?“Besides, we are still friends."What do you think?"There really isn’t a single good person in your circle.Li Jiankun felt disgusted because he had previously looked up to him."Is the person under surveillance?" he asked.Roberts nodded and said, “Of course.“I have always respected my friends."As long as Mr. Li proves with practical actions that he still regards me as a friend, rather than an object of discrimination, I will bring him to you."Li Jiankun stood up and walked toward the door, saying, "I'll call you and tell you the address."It's impossible to bring Xu Qingyou to the municipal building to do the transaction.Roberts looked at his back and said, "I'll tell you the address then. You know, my identity is here, and I have to be careful about the occasion I appear in."Li Jiankun's face showed disgust and sneer, and he rushed out.What he cared about was not the money. Since a reward of 100 million was offered for the capture of Xu Qingyou, he was prepared to pay the money.I'm simply disgusted by this hypocritical face.Just as Li Jiankun left, a woman in a white suit and skirt came into the office.He looked at Roberts with a complicated expression and said, "I never knew you were a greedy person.""Oh, Joey, why are you looking at me like that?"Roberts said somewhat sadly: "How many years have we known each other?"I don't care about money."Joey walked closer, looked him in the eyes and asked, "Why is that?"Roberts stood up from the sofa, slowly walked to the French window, overlooking the city below, and said faintly: "But I have to admit that money is more important than I thought.“This election victory is a living example of this."The final gap was so small that I would have failed without his 10 million."Joey asked, "So this is how you treat your benefactor?""Joy!"Roberts shouted angrily: "Remember your identity."Joey suddenly realized that the person in front of him, whom he had known for many years, had become so strange.Roberts' voice softened again, and he pointed out the window and said:"Look, what is this?"He asked and answered himself:"Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States."Now that you've come this far, don't you want to look higher?"He paused, then turned his head slightly to look at Joey:"You know better than anyone how difficult it has been for me to get to where I am today. My family can't give me much help.“I’m not even fifty yet, so I still have a long way to go."I have to save up resources and plan for the future."Joey understood.After knowing each other for so many years, she actually underestimated this man's ambition.She sarcastically said: "But why do I feel that this is more like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs?“Isn’t he a top resource?“Don’t forget, he can command the Golden Palace Hotel with just one phone call.“It’s hard to find such a big sponsor again."Besides, our country is dominated by capital. You are just a mayor. Aren't you worried about offending a wealthy man like him?"Roberts turned around and shouted, “What do you know!“He was just a passer-by."I checked his entry and exit records and found that he had only been to the United States a few times."Deal with me? Not to mention whether he has the ability or not, he doesn't have the time to do so."Joey wondered, "What does that mean?""You'll understand later."…………That night.Three Cadillacs drove into a small manor in a group.When getting out of the car, Li Jiankun looked around and noticed that there were several cars parked outside the villa.He did not go in immediately. He took the mobile phone from Zhang Gui and called Situ Meng to inform him of his current location.Only then did he leave three drivers in the car and lead all the others towards the villa gate.Not long after.In the living room on the first floor of the villa.Li Jiankun meets Roberts.Roberts smiled and stood up from the simple Italian sofa, wanting to go up and shake hands with him.Li Jiankun took out a UBS check and put it in his hand.Roberts took it and took a look at it, and his smile widened."What about people?"Li Jiankun looked around.No one else was seen except for what was apparently Roberts' security detail."Of course I will fulfill my promise."Almost as Roberts finished speaking, a white oak door next to the living room slowly opened.A group of five people walked out.There were four big white guys behind, led by a young Chinese man.He was about 180cm tall, wearing brown leather shoes, with his hair pomaded to the side, a neat grey suit and a rose-red pocket handkerchief tucked into his chest pocket.When he saw that gentle face clearly, Li Jiankun clenched his fists, and his knuckles cracked.There was a sense of fire in his eyes.at last!Who else could this Chinese youth be but Xu Qingyou?"Old classmate, I heard you have been looking for me."Such a big fuss?"This is all trouble for Mayor Brad."As Xu Qingyou spoke, he bowed slightly towards Roberts.Roberts smiled and waved his hands, then looked around and said, "Well, there's nothing for me to do now, you guys talk."Oh yeah, just a reminder, don't cause trouble here.“I don’t care what your festivals are.“Go fix it where I can’t see you.“Otherwise, I can’t just sit back and watch because of my duty."I hope you two will respect yourselves."Xu Qingyou said with a smile: "Of course, I won't make it difficult for you."Looking at Roberts' back as he walked up the wooden stairs, Li Jiankun's eyes were extremely cold.Obviously, he was not sold by Roberts.It's almost the same.This despicable guy not only talked to him and got benefits from him, but he also probably had contact with Xu Qing before the last meeting at the municipal building.Xu Qingyou was definitely not arrested."In your imagination, am I having a very miserable life now, like a stray dog, hiding from place to place?"Xu Qingyou came to the sofa and sat down, crossed his legs, with a playful smile on his face:“I’m sorry to disappoint you."You can probably tell that I'm having a great time right now.“You may not believe me, but I really have not been hiding. I have always been in the city, living in the most luxurious manor."Don't blame those people. They can't find out where I live."Swish!Li Jiankun took a quick step forward and grabbed Xu Qingyou by the collar.at the same time.Xu Qingyou's four white bodyguards immediately pulled out pistols from their waists and pointed the black holes at Li Jiankun.The people behind Li Jiankun were naturally not idle either, and the Hongmen members drew their guns one after another."Everyone, I advise you to calm down, otherwise I will make sure that no one of you can leave tonight."In a corner of the living room, a black man over two meters tall said casually."Look at you. Your temper hasn't changed in all these years. Didn't you hear what others said?"Xu Qingyou ignored the fact that Li Jiankun was grabbing his collar and leaned back on the sofa with a smile on his face.boom!Li Jiankun punched him in the face.Click! Click!Four pistols were pointed at Li Jiankun's forehead with the safety on.The Hongmen members pointed their guns at them and Xu Qingyou.The Fugui brothers slowly moved to Li Jiankun's side and stood on his left and right, but they were unable to protect his entire body."Pooh!"Xu Qingyou sat up from the sofa and spat a mouthful of blood mixed with saliva onto the wooden floor.Then he took out a pack of Marlboro cigarettes, popped one out and lit it, smiling again:"Well, this punch makes me feel much better. After all, that thing was indeed a bit too much."Let me make it clear that this was not my intention. It was purely an accident."It would have been better if he didn't mention this. Once he mentioned Zhuangzhuang's matter, Li Jiankun couldn't suppress his anger at all.However, when Li Jiankun raised his fist again.A silver-white Desert Eagle poked him on the forehead.Xu Qing held the gun in one hand and a rose-colored handkerchief in the other, gently wiping the corner of his mouth:"Li Jiankun, if I don't want you to find it, you will never find it in your lifetime.“I showed up today on my own initiative."I just want you to understand one thing."When Xu Qingyou said this, his voice suddenly turned cold, and he spoke word by word:"What can you do to me?"As he spoke, he looked behind Li Jiankun and switched to fairly fluent English with a sarcastic smile:"Hongmen?"Forget it."Then he glanced at his bodyguards and said, "Tell them to get out."One of his white bodyguards put away his gun, walked forward, and took out something from the lining of his black suit. He showed it to Hongmen and others.The faces of Hongmen and others all changed. They looked at each other, and the muzzles of their guns obviously began to lose their aim and pressed down to the ground."did you see."Xu Qing used Desert Eagle to push Li Jiankun away, stood up from the sofa, and said with a playful expression: "You really have to thank Roberts, he still has some integrity, otherwise I would kill you right now."Not convinced?"It's okay, just stay here and catch me."Let's see who will kill whom."After saying these words, Xu Qingyou said "let's go" in English.Then he left with four bodyguards.Li Jiankun was furious and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Hongmen and others."Boss Li, calm down.""This guy has a backer, so we need to think long-term.""Now that we know where he is, there's no rush."
