Chapter 7 Who Says You Are Not the Boss?
Scarface nodded and was about to leave when Li Zishu called him.
"It's better not to bother Lawyer Xu with these two documents. Just find a lawyer in Chinatown to help me take a look. If there is no problem, I will call these two companies to confirm!" As an ordinary person, Li Zishu may not have much knowledge, but he will never make a fool of himself. Even if he has not eaten pork, he has seen pigs these days.
Minister of Regent, yes, Oboi and Ao Shaobao are also Minister of Regent, is Xu Liren really that loyal?
Scarface paused, not expecting him to change his mind, and then nodded. "I understand!"
Watching the other party leave, Li Zishu narrowed his eyes, "Thorn? It seems that we have to continue to fight crime. It may be okay to entrust my safety to Scarface, but never put all my eggs in one basket!"
No matter how worried we are, safety comes first!
Li Zishu used to be much more cunning, but now everything has changed. As night fell, Li Zishu tossed and turned on his soft bed. Life had changed so much in just a few days, and he was thinking about how to save his life.
He was thinking, and Tony was thinking too. He was the only one in the cold room.
After being taken back to the FBI branch, no one asked him any questions and he was thrown aside, which made him feel a little suffocated. He looked at the glass opposite Tony with a pout.
"I know you're watching. Are you bored? If you have anything you want to know, just ask me directly. When will my lawyer arrive? I reserve the right to file a complaint!"
The room was still quiet. Across the glass, the fat black man Levin and the Latin man Bob were observing him.
"He looks calm. Doesn't this guy know fear? With so many departments working together, they will definitely find something missing!" The fat man asked his colleagues while eating a taco.
"Because Zhiyuan is a large corporation, the Li family's lawyers have already arranged everything perfectly. The evidence we currently have is insufficient to prosecute him. The people at the District Attorney's Office have been busy all night, and his subordinates have already pleaded guilty . It's difficult to reach a deal to get them to identify Tony in exchange for a reduced sentence!"
Bob shook his head and sighed, "Zhiyuan, with its massive legal team, is not so easy to deal with. If it were easy, they wouldn't have been able to survive for over eighty years!"
As he was speaking, the door opened and old man Stephen walked in in casual clothes. The black youth behind him locked the door and stood at the door.
"Is someone finally here? I thought you were just kidding me."
"TONY Wu, nice to meet you, I'm Stephen!" The old man sat opposite with a smile on his face.
"This meeting is truly unforgettable!" Tony regained his contemptuous smile on his face, leaned back, and put his feet on the table.
This action made the black youth nearby very dissatisfied.
"I heard that you were very angry before, but now it seems that you have recovered well!" The old guy was not angry. Instead, he began to tease the other party, taking the initiative and trying to provoke the other party's anger and cause his emotions to get out of control.
"After I came in, I figured it out. Someone is targeting me. It's useless for me to get angry because the other party is hiding in the dark. Can you tell me who it is? Don't say you don't know. You are the one who brought me back this time!" Tony looked at the other party lazily.
"You are worthy of being the most promising young man in Zhiyuan. Many people think that you are arrogant and do things without considering the consequences, but in fact you are very smart! I like dealing with smart people, it will save me a lot of trouble!" Stephen clasped his hands together and looked at the other party.
"What do you want me to do?" Tony put his feet down and leaned on the table to look at the other person.
"What can I ask you to do? I'm the FBI and you're a thief!"
"Haha, you're so humorous. You brought me back for a purpose. You should know that the District Attorney's Office can't prosecute me!" Tony put his head on his hands, revealing his white teeth.
"It seems that you are very confident in your men. Then what should I tell you? Lawyer Xu is here, but he didn't see you first. Instead, he went to see your men, Jay!" Stephen began to shake the fingers of his hands casually, looking at Tony with confidence.
"Damn it, he wants to mess with me!" Tony's face finally changed! His own men wouldn't be in trouble, but if Xu Liren showed up, it was hard to say! If the other party wanted Jie to bite him back, there was a high possibility.
"No, you're wrong. He doesn't want to punish you. The person who reported you is your boss!"
After hearing what Stephen said, Tony's face darkened. "I didn't expect it to be him. Interesting! Our young boss is really different. He actually used such means. I thought he would deal with me, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"
"Aren't you surprised?" Stephen took out a cigarette and handed it to the other party.
"How is that possible? I really didn't expect it. If you hadn't said it, I would have found it hard to guess it was him. Damn, the Li family is really different. I thought he was just a kid who was trying to save face. Amazing! He actually killed someone with a borrowed knife! I admit I underestimated him."
"I didn't expect that!" Stephen also smiled bitterly. "The rules you mentioned don't work on him."
"Then what is your intention in telling me now? To make me angry, and then let me out to cause a big fuss and cause civil unrest in Zhiyuan? Or, you need me to bring down Zhiyuan Group!" Tony straightened up. He understood his own value, which was his identity as the core of the group.
"If I say yes, what will you do?" Stephen laughed in amusement. This guy has always been very good at hiding his true nature. On the surface, he seems arrogant and easily angered, but in fact, he is very smart.
"Hmm, let me think about it!" Tony took a drag on his cigarette. "I'm definitely going to make a scene, maybe do something big. Anyway, I need to vent!"
"That's why I asked someone to bring you in. I need stability, at least for now. It's not practical to bring down Zhiyuan in one go. I only choose goals that can be achieved. For those that cannot be achieved, I will choose to ignore them." Stephen expressed his intention.
"Stable, so you're helping him deal with me?" Tony suddenly understood, "Why did you choose him and not me? I can be stable too!"
Stephen shook his head. “No, you can’t. He’s the boss, and you’re just an employee!”
"What if he's just a waste?" Tony finally couldn't help but said through gritted teeth.
"That's also a valuable piece of trash, and its value is much higher than yours!"
This sentence deeply pierced Tony's heart. If he is a waste, then you are even worse than a waste!
"What do you want me to do?" Tony's voice became suppressed.
"There's only one thing at the moment. Be honest. You're in contact with the Bay Area Cartel. We've received the news. Don't cause any trouble recently." Stephen also put away his smile.
"Alright, you're the boss, you have the final say!" Tony threw away his cigarette butt, put his hands on the back of his head, and suddenly laughed, "Fuck, can I go now?"
"Not yet, I need to lock you up for a few days! Give Li some time! Lawyer Xu won't worry about you. He has already been here and has explained to the group, so just have a good rest here!" Stephen stood up and prepared to leave.
Damn it, just because I'm not the boss, Tony became extremely gloomy when he thought of this. He actually got to this point, and you guys actually helped him buy time, assholes.
"What if I could replace him?"
"You are not qualified! Not at all!" Stephen walked away without looking back.
Not qualified? Tony laughed at himself.
The black man next to him laughed. "Are you kidding? The prestige built by two generations of Zhiyuan Group cannot be replaced by you! Zishu-Li, this name is more valuable than you!"
Tony's face became even uglier!
Leaving the room, Bob looked at his boss with a strange expression.
"Boss , were you trying to divide them? Otherwise, why would you tell him the truth?"
Stephen shook his head and smiled, "No, no, no, what I need is stability. Tony is not stupid. As the most powerful leader of the younger generation, brains are necessary, otherwise his body would have been found in the garbage dump long ago.
Talking to such a person nicely will not work; his opportunism will make him fight. Only by crushing him with strength can the hyena know who is the master of the hunting ground.
As expected of the boss, this cunning guy is one of the most promising directors of the FBI!
Bob nodded in understanding.
"What are we going to do now?"
“I have done everything I need to do. I need to see what Li will do next so that I can make an assessment of him. If he is valuable and content, then he is what I need!
In addition, what we have to do now is to deal with the White Russians and Tsarist Russians. Some agents like to use their families as a cover.
We are the FBI, that's why I need stability. We can't let Zhiyuan divert our resources! There are more important things to deal with."
After a sleepless night, the ordinary people decided to stabilize the situation first. Just as Xu Liren said, only with stability can Zhiyuan deter the villains and gain temporary safety.
After tidying himself up, Li Zishu came out of the room and took the elevator downstairs.
Scarface came up to him immediately when he saw him and asked, "Boss, are you up?"
Li Zishu nodded, "I didn't sleep well, so I got up late. It's almost noon!"
Scarface knew that Li Zishu, who had just taken over the family, would inevitably be a little nervous. "I asked someone about the documents early in the morning, and they are all authentic. I also called them, and Thorn confirmed your identity as a shareholder. They said they received an investment, but I didn't expect it to be you.
Founder Hansen wants to meet you, he's in Saint-Lodo.
As for Ye Mu, it has been confirmed that you are the new boss!"
I didn’t expect Scarface to be so efficient, and I didn’t expect the system to be so powerful.
Li Zishu hummed in understanding. "Have you called to ask? How many responsible persons are willing to pay the fees?"
If he wants to maintain his position, he first needs to solve the problem of fees and charges, which is Li Zishu’s goal in the near future.
"The fat guy said he had no money and it would take some time. Ma Wang also gave the same reason. The other responsible persons knew that they would not pay, so they were all finding various excuses to delay!" Scarface looked a little ugly when he said this.
"Who is the fat guy? The one who acted with Tony yesterday?" Li Zishu remembered something.
Scarface nodded, "That's him!"
"Where is he in charge?"
"In the Sanlodu County Industrial Zone, the fat guy is timid and slippery. He depends on Tony and the Horse King for everything. He usually hides in his own territory and doesn't come out. He's in a very bad situation. He's surrounded by the White Russians and is close to M13, so he's caught in the middle of these two major forces!"
"Really?" It seems that what he did was right. Tony is the strongest among the younger generation, no wonder he is so arrogant. Since he has been targeted, he should be more thorough. Only when he bows his head first, those who wait and see will be afraid!
"Where is Tony in charge?"
Scarface's heart moved when he heard Li Zishu's words. The boss must have some ideas!
"In Chinatown in the city center, there are several other blocks where he is the strongest. The people around him are either Latino or black! And yet he has been able to hold on for ten years." Scarface was a little worried.
Tony is arrogant but he has the right to be arrogant, which is why Stephen gets nervous as soon as he hears that someone is trying to mess with him.
"Then let's go to Chinatown. I haven't been back for a long time!"
"I'll arrange a car right away!"
The convoy set off quickly. Li Zishu sat in the car and looked at the scenery on the street with some emotion. He had only seen these in movies before, and he never thought that one day he would come to this city.
Looking at the unfamiliar streets outside the window, the family leader did not feel the slightest bit of excitement, because he heard it.
[Host witnessed a crime, please fight! Choose your own rewards: 1 Combat Specialization, 2 Driving Specialization, 3 Russian Specialization.]
What the hell is Russian proficiency? Li Zishu rubbed his temples, feeling a headache. He saw a black man wearing a hoodie and a hat running out of a store on the street ahead, clutching a revolver.
Bang! A gunshot rang out from behind. A fat white man raised a short-handled shotgun and fired a shot into the air, then yelled, "Stop, damn it!"
