Chapter 200: See How I Deal With You

In fact, Ye Ziqiu wasn’t the only one who couldn’t find Lin Jian; Thomas couldn’t reach him either.

The reason Thomas was trying to contact Lin Jian was because Ye Yuanhang had called him, claiming to agree to all of his demands. However, Yuanhang needed time to gather the funds and pacify Li Ziheng’s Li family. Otherwise, if the Ye family unilaterally announced the cancellation of the engagement, the Li family would go to war with them again.

Therefore, Ye Yuanhang begged Thomas to give him a day, promising a satisfactory answer before noon tomorrow.

Thomas didn’t dare make the decision himself, as Lin Jian’s orders were to carry out an act of sabotage every two hours. So, with the Ye family now suing for peace and verbally agreeing to all demands, should they continue the sabotage?

However, Lin Jian’s phone number showed it was out of the service area.

Consequently, Lin Jian missed two important calls.

At nine in the morning, Jiang Xue’s Caucasian butler came to find Lin Jian, stating that Miss Jiang had left but left a letter for him!

Lin Jian was bewildered. Why did this Little Wild Cat leave so suddenly?

He quickly tore the envelope open. Three lines of elegant handwriting leapt off the page.

"Lin, I’m leaving. I suddenly find this all very boring. I originally wanted to stay and watch you slaughter your enemies, but after waking up, I suddenly felt that you were too childish.

"Well, that’s it. I’m going to pray to Buddha. Bye.

"Oh, by the way, you can stay at the hotel until the end of time. I’ll cover the room."

After reading the letter, Lin Jian looked up at the Caucasian butler. "Where did Miss Jiang go?"

"I... me... NO..."

The Caucasian butler’s Chinese was truly terrible. He seemed not to know how to express himself, mixing Chinese and English in a way that gave Lin Jian a headache.

"Goodbye then!" Lin Jian nodded at the butler.

The butler gave a gentlemanly bow, turned, and went downstairs.

Just then, Dachun opened the door to the next room and poked his head out for a look.

Lin Jian waved at him. "Dachun, let me borrow your phone!"

"Oh, okay." Dachun hurried back to get his phone and handed it to Lin Jian.

Lin Jian used Dachun’s phone to call Jiang Xue, but her phone was turned off.

"Crazy! Sick in the head!" Lin Jian cursed. The Little Wild Cat was definitely unhinged. This woman was as unpredictable as the weather; her personality was too eccentric.

Lin Jian simply ignored her and dialed Thomas’s number from memory.

"Old Ma, it’s me." As soon as the call connected, Lin Jian got straight to the point.

"Oh, boss! I’ve finally gotten a call from you!" Thomas sounded relieved over the phone before quickly continuing. "Ye called me. He claims to have agreed to all our demands and will pay the one billion USD, but he needs time. After all, one billion is a lot.

"He also wants us to stop the sabotage because he said he needs to talk to the Li family. Otherwise, unilaterally breaking off the engagement would offend the Li family again, which is not what he wants. So, he requested an extension until noon tomorrow!"

"Sure," Lin Jian nodded. "It’s reasonable. He does need time, so pause the operation."

"Received, boss."

"Yeah, but keep your guard up against him. Don’t let him find out the whereabouts of you five from the Black Gloves. And stay in touch with me at all times on this number!"

"Yes."

"Oh, right. Have Laine come to the Grammy Hotel."

"Okay, boss." Thomas hung up.

After hanging up with Thomas, Lin Jian called Qin San’Er.

"San, it’s me," Lin Jian announced himself directly.

"Boss, is everything going smoothly?" Qin San’Er was curious because he knew Lin Jian should be in Migu Country by now.

"Not bad. Have you guys set off yet?"

"We leave in an hour. We’re already on the boat."

"Good. Stay safe. I’ll meet up with you in Suriname."

"Understood."

"If you need me, just call Dachun’s number. My phone broke again..."

"Okay."

The two exchanged a few brief words before hanging up simultaneously.

After ending the call with Qin San’Er, Lin Jian called Shen Ke, the long-legged beauty back in the country. The phone rang seven or eight times before it was picked up.

"Hello?" Shen Ke didn’t recognize the number and was very confused.

"Hello, nice to meet you. Please put me through to the longest legs in Jiang City..."

"Lin Jian!!" Shen Ke exclaimed. In truth, she and Lin Jian had been in touch on WeChat these past few days. She knew Lin Jian was running errands abroad, but she didn’t know exactly what he was doing. Because of that, she missed him quite a bit but was too embarrassed to call.

"Shen Ke, how are your injuries?"

"I’m fine. They’re just minor injuries, it’s nothing. What about you? Have you finished your business?" Shen Ke asked in return.

"Not yet. I still have to go to South Africa in a few days."

"Oh, I almost forgot. You have mines in South Africa!"

"PFFT!"

"Hahaha." Shen Ke burst into laughter over the phone, as she could imagine Lin Jian’s embarrassed expression.

"You dare make fun of me, huh? Just wait until I get back and see how my ’little brother’ and I whip you," Lin Jian said fiercely.

"PFFT!"

Shen Ke almost spat blood. Oh, Lin Jian, always turning the conversation dirty so casually!
