As soon as Ye Xie spoke, several burly black-clad bodyguards rushed in from outside the door. They all looked fierce and skilled and were clearly well-trained.
Even if Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen were formidable in a one-on-one fight, it would be difficult for them to escape unscathed.
Shen Ruojing immediately assumed an attacking posture and vigilantly looked around.
Chu Cichen, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, a hint of satisfaction in his phoenix-like eyes. He looked at King and said slowly, “Mr. King, this is China. I believe you will abide by the law, won’t you?”
Upon hearing this, King sneered, “What does my relationship have to do with you if you suddenly disappear? The Prism Club will take care of this for me.”
But as soon as he finished speaking, King’s phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, his face immediately changed, indicating that something was amiss.
King chuckled, hung up the phone, and then looked at Chu Cichen, mocking, “Mr. Chu, it seems you’re quick to utilize public resources. You’ve already called the police.”
Chu Cichen waved his hand, “If we’re only here to discuss a business deal, then there shouldn’t be any problem. But if I go missing, I’ll definitely report it to protect myself.”
King,
The corners of his mouth twitched but he didn’t let his subordinates leave. Instead, he said with a smile, “In that case, why don’t we give it a try? Can you still maintain a connection with me once I’ve dealt with you and left?”
Chu Cichen smiled, “I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to kill us in such a short time.”
King’s gaze grew deeper.
His back straightened gradually.
Since taking over as King from his father, he had never encountered an opponent of equal strength. After all, King’s position was lofty, and there was no one who dared to oppose him.
Moreover, he himself was a representation of high intelligence and had always been outstanding, rarely encountering opponents.
Now, this unpredictable Eastern Dragon, whose depths were unfathomable, made him feel a long-lost sense of excitement and even a touch of sympathy.
He lowered his head and played with the ring on his finger. “Then, why not give it a try?”
Chu Cichen laughed, “My wife has already said that we didn’t come here today to make enemies but to cooperate with Mr. King. And if we’re going to collaborate, I naturally have to investigate a little.”
King chuckled, “I wonder, where did you find my information?”
Chu Cichen spoke up, “It’s difficult to find information about King. Of course, 1 couldn’t find it. My brothers have been searching for a long time but haven’t gained any results. The reason I guessed your identity, your true identity, was based on a speculation.”
King made a listening gesture, his identity had to remain a mystery.
Not because he lacked power, but because being low-key was to protect his family.
People like Shen Ruojing, who had exposed their identities to everyone, and Jing Zhen’s patent that made the news, didn’t the Karl family target them? There were many other forces keeping an eye on them as well, like sinister venomous snakes ready to strike when they were weakened.
Therefore, preserving his own identity would allow his family to live more freely.
Shen Ruojing was slightly surprised and looked at Chu Cichen in confusion.
King’s information has been under investigation by Country A’s royal family, but they haven’t found any clues. Yet, Chu Cichen managed to uncover his identity?
As she was still in astonishment, she heard Chu Cichen speak up, “Speaking of which, it was your own negligence. Last time in Country A, Princess Daisy was going on a blind date… My subordinate, the black man named Rick, was attacked and beaten up. This incident should be familiar to Mr. King, right?” King sneered but remained silent.
Chu Cichen continued, “Afterwards, I investigated for a long time to find out who attacked Rick, but there were no leads. The identity of the mastermind, just like yours, is mysterious and elusive. All traces have been erased. In this world, there can’t be two organizations capable of such thoroughness.”
“So, you’re the one who sent someone to attack Rick, aren’t you? At that time, the person who had Rick beaten up was trying to stop Princess Daisy’s blind date. Princess Daisy mentioned that she had someone she cared about deeply and told him about the blind date. However, the person only replied with ‘I know,’ which made her very sad.”
As these words were spoken, King’s expression visibly softened. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Chu Cichen with a mix of hostility and jealousy that he himself wasn’t aware of. “Oh? Princess Daisy shared her concerns with you?”
“…” Chu Cichen fell silent and explained, “She told Jingjing.”
King immediately looked at Shen Ruojing and said, “I know Daisy really likes her calligraphy.”
Chu Cichen coughed lightly and said, “They’re still good friends.”
King smirked, “Oh, it seems she has quite a few friends.”
“…” This ambiguous tone made Chu Cichen momentarily unsure how to respond. The corners of his mouth twitched
Shen Ruojing instantly understood and looked at King in surprise.. “So, you’re the one who made Daisy sad?”
