Chapter 123 Drugging
"Boss, wine!"
Bodyguard No. 2 filled the glass and then retreated as if no one was around, not even noticing the sharp squinting eyes of King Ma Long.
If he hadn't taken his partner into consideration, he would never have tolerated anyone ignoring his orders.
Ma Longwang took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, picked up the wine glass, and smiled at his partner opposite him, "Mr. Li, it's a rare opportunity for us to sit together today. I'll drink this glass of wine first as a sign of respect."
He drank half a glass of wine heroically, felt the aroma of wine in his mouth, smacked his lips, put down the glass and leaned forward.
"Mr. Li, I want to discuss a deal with you today. If we can reach an agreement, it will be a win-win situation. Mr. Li must feel bad for being suppressed by the Jiang family for so many years. Although the Jiang family has a deep foundation, it is not invincible. If we have the right strategy, we may be able to gain a foothold in the market."
Mr. Li took a puff of his cigar, leaned back on the sofa with a look of disdain on his face, and sat in a wanton and lazy posture.
"Boss Ma, it's not that I look down on you. The truth is, the status of the Jiang family is not something that a small Li family like me can covet. I still know my own limitations."
King Ma Long chuckled, "So, we need to plan our strategy."
Mr. Li looked at him steadily, thinking for a moment, then showed his white teeth and smiled, "Tell me your plan, otherwise why should I use the Li family to gamble? Do you think your words are a knife? I don't do business at a loss."
Ma Longwang had a particularly meaningful smile on his face, and he spread his hands back, and a document appeared in his hand.
Handing the document to Mr. Li, he said, "Take a look at this first. Mr. Li will be willing to cooperate with me."
Mr. Li took the information and flipped through it carelessly at first, but the more he read, the more frightened he became. "Where did you get these--"
Ma Longwang looked very proud. "Then don't bother Mr. Li. As long as we use these leverages properly, do you think those families will just sit back and watch? As long as we join forces, the Jiang family...is nothing to worry about."
Mr. Li hated King Ma Long to death. Although the information he provided contained evidence of key figures from other aristocratic families, who could guarantee that he didn't have evidence of his own?
Thinking of this, Mr. Li's expression became complicated. He put down the document, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
He knew that if this document was leaked, those families would definitely be able to shake up the big pie of the Jiang family, but a knife has two edges. If this plan failed, it would be enough to plunge his Li family and other families into an irretrievable situation.
This is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can hurt the enemy; if used poorly, it will backfire on its owner.
"Mr. Ma, this is a really heavy document." Mr. Li tried his best to make his voice sound calm. "However, I need time to consider it. Such a big matter cannot be decided in a short time."
King Ma Long seemed to have expected Mr. Li to answer like this. He smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and shook it gently, causing ripples in the wine.
"Of course, Mr. Li needs time, I completely understand. However, time waits for no one, and the Jiang family won't give us too much time. I think Mr. Li should know better than me that opportunities are rare and can never come back."
Mr. Li was silent for a while, but he sneered in his heart.
In his eyes, King Ma Long was really not a big shot, he just used some despicable means.
To be honest, the Jiang family has been powerful for a long time. If they really wanted to suppress it, they would have done it long ago. The men in the Jiang family are not pushovers. If they take inappropriate actions, I'm afraid the Li family will never be able to turn things around.
He took a long drag on his cigar, and the smoke swirled in the air, just like his chaotic thoughts.
His mind raced as he considered how to pass this message to the Jiang family without exposing his own intentions. However, he also knew that if he handled it properly, he might be able to benefit from it.
Qin Qing was also waiting at the door of the box. When he saw bodyguard No. 2 coming out, he knew that the matter had been accomplished, and he went downstairs with a smile.
However, the elevator slowly opened on the second floor, and Qin Qing looked up casually, and saw a tall man standing opposite him.
He was wearing a dark windbreaker, the hem of which almost touched the ground, and a pair of long boots. He exuded a strong and domineering aura. When he looked at Qin Qingye indifferently, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Qin Qing didn't move, and the man didn't move either. They just looked at her steadily, with scrutiny and vigilance in their eyes.
"Come in or not, I'll close the door if you don't."
The girl's voice was clear, without a trace of emotion, as if she was saying the most ordinary words.
The man stepped into the elevator, his nearly 1.9-meter-tall figure seemed a little cramped in the narrow elevator space.
Qin Qing also looked at him generously, then pressed the button to go downstairs.
The man kept an eye on Qin Qingye, and when he saw that she ignored him and looked leisurely, alarm bells rang in his heart.
Qin Qing also noticed the man's emotional fluctuations. She turned her head to look at him and saw that his face was hidden in the shadow of his windbreaker, with only a part of his resolute outline exposed. She nodded secretly, thinking that he was a handsome man.
but...
His face was pale, his hair was damp, his shoulders drooped slightly, his right hand was clasped around his left arm, and he smelled the faint smell of blood in the air. There was no doubt that the man was injured.
Maybe Qin Qing had been staring at her for too long, or maybe his eyes were too direct, the man looked down at her, their eyes met...
There was no fear or curiosity in Qin Qing's eyes, only cold calmness, as if the person in front of her could not affect her at all.
The man's eyes were like the cold wind in deep winter, piercing and sharp, deep and unfathomable, as if they could see through all illusions. Being locked in his gaze, one seemed to feel the oppression that could not be ignored.
It’s a pity that Qin Qing is not an ordinary person, and such a look means nothing to her.
Qin Qing also maintained her indifference and aloofness. She knew that this man was not a good person. Even though he looked murderous, she could still see the righteousness between his brows.
If she guessed correctly, this man should be a soldier.
Seeing his eyes revealing ruthlessness and vigilance, as if he was ready to attack at any time, Qin Qing also raised the corners of his mouth slightly, wanting to see what this man wanted to do.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the elevator became tense and subtle.
Qin Qing was not a wooden person, so she naturally felt that the man's gaze was becoming sharper and sharper, as if he wanted to see through her.
Her expression was calm and her tone was cold, "Have you seen enough? Don't you want your eyes anymore?"
"Ah--"
With a sneer, the surroundings seemed as cold as if covered with a layer of frost.
The man glanced at Qin Qingye, trying to intimidate her with his eyes, but Qin Qingye just looked back indifferently, as if his threat was nothing more than a breeze to her.
If he hadn't noticed that his wound was beginning to ache, he would have probably gone to investigate.
Seeing him like this, Qin Qing also sighed and took out a small porcelain bottle from her small bag, "Here you go! White wound medicine and green healing medicine."
With a ding, the elevator door opened and Qin Qing walked out without looking back.
The man holding the medicine bottle suddenly asked, "Who are you?"
Qin Qing also kept walking and waved his hand, "Let's go together——"
