Su Xing did not continue to ask proactively.
Li Li had no choice but to take the initiative: "Actually, I came to see you this time for a specific reason."
Su Xing raised an eyebrow: "I would like to hear more."
Li Li elaborated: "I brought a wealthy investor from abroad. His name is Zhang Tianba, and he only invests; his industries span the globe, and he has never misjudged any project. The first project he is interested in is the bar street in the northern part of the city and its surrounding development. He will be a formidable competitor for Shen Shi Yan Tuan. He hopes to discuss a potential collaboration with you regarding this bar and several plots of land you have. He can offer you an astronomical price!"
"An astronomical price?" Su Xing murmured. "Can it be ten times higher?"
Li Li felt a bit awkward; after all, this was a project worth hundreds of millions. However, her gaze shifted slightly, as if she had seen Jelf's cold eyes behind Su Xing. Then, she pretended to hesitate and said, "I believe boss Zhang wouldn't mind these small amounts of money. So as long as you're willing, I can negotiate on your behalf and surely facilitate this collaboration."
Su Xing looked at Li Li as if she were a strange creature: "Are you sure? I'm talking about ten times!"
"Oh, foreigners are so easy to fool," she thought. Besides, the land here is precious; the returns from development would definitely be considerable. Moreover, boss Zhang had ulterior motives—he wanted to make a name for himself and fully transition from overseas to domestic markets!
A delicate face flashed through Su Xing's mind. Could this Zhang Tianba be someone she knew?
She looked at Li Li seriously and asked, "Li Zi, can you tell me which side you're on?"
Li Li laughed: "Me? I want to make money from both sides. Will you give it to me?"
"Then let me treat you to a drink!" Su Xing raised her glass and toasted her from across the table.
She knew very well that Li Li was representing boss Zhang, but did she also represent someone else?
Li Li downed her drink: "Then I’ll need another one! But you’re still the same as before—money is everything to you, so stingy! You’ve never lacked money since childhood! Why are you counting pennies with me? Sister Li Zi used to have your back!"
Su Xing joked and acted cute; it had been years since she used such tactics. If it weren't for the fact that she felt there was a significant difference in Li Li compared to the past, she wouldn't have deliberately tried to keep her grounded.
"Alright, in response to your call, Sister Li Zi, I will contact boss Zhang and arrange to meet as soon as possible to finalize this matter."
Su Xing gazed at her thoughtfully. "No rush. There might be someone willing to offer a higher price. After all, I should compare my options, right?"
Li Li scoffed, "This is already an exorbitant price. I think you're just trying to play hard to get."
At that moment, a man behind Su Xing suddenly reached out.
"Xiao Xing, I have money too. You can negotiate with me."
On the table in front of Su Xing, a man's fingers drummed rhythmically.
In truth, she had not overlooked this man from the very beginning.
"Hey! Eavesdropping is quite rude!" Li Li said deliberately.
Su Xing feigned interest. "Oh? Mr. Jelf, how much are you willing to bid for my bar?"
"Ten times the price," Jelf replied smoothly. "And I can ensure your territory remains safe."
His words suddenly reminded Su Xing of what Du Meng had once said.
Is he Du Meng's backer?
If so, she couldn't allow this bar to fall into his hands.
But then again, boss Zhang was certainly no saint either.
Su Xing felt that both Li Li and Jelf's appearances were too coincidental.
"Ugh, I'm feeling a bit tipsy," Su Xing said, pinching her brow with a look of discomfort.
Li Li narrowed her elongated phoenix eyes slightly. "Your alcohol tolerance has really gone down!"
"I'll take my leave now; let's connect tomorrow. No arranging any meetings without me!"
"I'll have Yang Zekai send someone for you. I'm done here," Su Xing waved her hand at Yang Zekai.
Li Li swayed her hips and strode away confidently. As she passed Jelf, she deliberately added, "Don't try to steal business from me!"
Jelf chuckled lightly. "To each their own."
As time wore on, Jelf did not linger too long with Su Xing; he seemed to have no ulterior motives. After sharing a few drinks, he stood up and politely bid farewell to the slightly dazed Su Xing before leaving.
After the people who shouldn't have been in the bar dispersed, Su Xing's eyes finally regained their clarity.
Yang Zekai reported promptly, "Sister Xing, I've seen that person before. Xiao He Ge has already taken the intercepted footage to investigate."
Su Xing nodded, "Tell him to be careful and not let anyone notice. We're looking into those two people from just now."
Yang Zekai agreed with a nod; he understood Su Xing's gaze well and quickly grasped her intentions, preparing in advance.
However, before this investigation yielded any results, Su Xing received news from He Xiaoqing.
"A Xing, Lawrence is in the country. Has he tried to contact you?"
Early the next morning, He Xiaoqing's incessant calls jolted Su Xing awake.
One of her questions pulled Su Xing straight out of a colorful dream.
"He’s looking for you! Don’t meet him! Where are you right now?!"
"A Xing, don’t panic. I haven’t seen him yet, but he has arranged to meet me at Shanhai Garden at noon. I’ve decided to go see him."
"No way!" Su Xing sat up abruptly, her voice sharp as she countered her mother's words.
But the two of them had never truly changed each other's decisions before. The only difference this time was that Su Xing felt anxious.
"A Xing, if anything happens to me, take care of yourself and your brother. Do your best and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. He is your family, but I don’t want him to always be a burden on you."
"Mom!" Su Xing's voice grew increasingly cold and fierce.
Was her mother resigned to death? Su Xing would never allow such a thing to happen!
She didn’t hang up the phone but instead got up and went to her study, using another phone to contact someone.
Su Xing spoke in a low voice, issuing orders: "Send two teams to protect my mom!"
"Mom, wait for my news first. I’ll let you know when it’s safe for you to leave!"
Su Xing was already changing clothes to head out. In this situation, she had to stay close to her mother.
Lawrence actually dared to come here; she wouldn’t let this opportunity slip away!
He Xiaoqing remained calm as if resigned to her fate: "A Xing, don’t make too much noise about this. That Lawrence isn’t a good person; God knows what arrangements he has made."
Su Xing paused while grabbing her car keys: "So what exactly did he threaten you with?"
