Chapter 1546: Exposed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Doora, No. 041, private island.

There were many small islands floating on the sea in Doora. Coupled with the inhuman imagination of the rich, they were designed to be privately owned for life and were sold to rich tyc.o.o.ns.

The island that Lin Yi had given Ji Qingyan was one of them, but it was originally numbered 008, but Lin Yi changed its name.

However, the name of 041 had not been changed. On the beach of the island, the logo of 041 was still erected.

The white villa in the middle of the island was brightly lit. There were even street lamps around it, adding a touch of brightness to the dark island.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A deafening roar sounded as a white helicopter landed on the tarmac of the island.

The cabin door opened and two burly men in black suits welcomed a middle-aged man down.

The man’s name was Schubert, and he was the vice president of the Fuseby Auction House. He was also the person-in-charge of this auction.

After getting off the plane, Schubert adjusted his suit to make himself look even more put together, like a true gentleman.

After tidying up, under the escort of the bodyguards, Schubert walked towards the villa in the middle of the island.

At the same time, a man in a suit walked out of the villa.

Compared to Schubert’s looks and temperament, this person who came out later was obviously much worse-off.

He had a big belly and a cigar in his hand. There were only a few strands of hair on his head, making him look unrefined.

This man was the head of Black Gold Corporation, Jeffrey!

“Mr. Schubert, I’ve been waiting for you.”

Seeing Jeffrey, Schubert became much more polite and took the initiative to extend his hand.

“You’re too kind, Mr. Jeffrey. It’s Fuseby’s honor to be working with you this time.”

“I’ve got some fine red wine and cigars. Let’s talk inside.”

“Okay.”

After a simple conversation, the two of them walked towards the villa.

Although it was already very late, in a city like Doora, the men’s party had just begun.

The two of them walked to the front of the villa, but the bodyguards did not move aside.

“Mr. Schubert, I’m sorry. This is a critical period, so I have to be careful and not make any mistakes.”

Although in the eyes of outsiders, Jeffrey was still a formidable person, only he knew that he had long been left behind by his compet.i.tors.

His three subordinates were all dead. There were not many people he could order around anymore.

Therefore, now, he had to be on guard against anyone!

At any time, the Central Guards Brigade of Huaxia and the Mitsui family of Sunrise Land could infiltrate his base. He had to be careful.

“I understand your concerns.” Schubert shrugged, then opened his arms and accepted the inspection openly.

The two bodyguards stepped forward and swept Schubert’s body with the equipment in their hands. When they found that there was nothing unusual, they stood aside and let him pa.s.s.

Jeffrey gestured for them to enter. Together, they walked through the front door.

Beep, beep, beep!

As soon as he stepped through the door, he heard an urgent electronic sound, making everyone present nervous.

Jeffrey’s men immediately took out their guns and aimed them at Schubert!

Jeffrey’s eyes narrowed with waves of murderous intent.

“Mr. Schubert, I want to know what’s going on.”

In reality, Jeffrey had not only set up checkpoints outside but also inside the house.

However, the detection methods in the house were more advanced. They used the most advanced infrared laser technology. Nothing would happen unless the guests had prohibited items on them.

The reason for these extra precautions was not aimed at someone like Schubert.

It was to prevent anyone from sneaking in from outside as they would be detected immediately.

From this perspective, it was clear that Jeffrey’s cunning surpa.s.sed that of his three subordinates

At this moment, facing Jeffrey’s question, Schubert was also confused. He quickly raised his hand to show his innocence.

“I really don’t know what’s going on. We’re business partners. Why would I do anything harmful to you?”

Jeffrey’s expression did not change, thinking that Schubert had a point.

He had no reason to do this.

If something happened to him, they could forget about getting the goods. Otherwise, it would be a raw deal.

“In that case, excuse me,” Jeffrey said.

“Take Mr. Schubert and help him change into a new set of clothes. I want to know what the problem is!”

“Yes, Boss!”

Under the guidance of Jeffrey’s men, Schubert was taken away. After changing into a set of clothes that did not fit him, his gentlemanly temperament was reduced by more than half.

Not long after, Jeffrey’s men brought Schubert’s gold Rolex watch to him.

“Boss, the issue is with the surface of this watch. Someone placed a miniature tracking device inside, and its construction is highly advanced. Ordinary equipment wouldn’t have detected it.”

“Mr. Jeffrey, I can swear to G.o.d that I had nothing to do with this. 1 really don’t know how it happened,” Schubert said innocently.

“I know, but I don’t think there’s a need to continue today’s meeting. Please go back.”

“You can’t do this!” Schubert said loudly.

“The auction is tomorrow. It’s unreasonable for us not to get the goods!”

“Don’t be nervous,” Jeffrey a.s.sured him.

“We just want to investigate the problem first. If there are no issues, I’ll tell you the location of the goods as soon as possible.”

“But what you’re doing is immoral!”

“1 can’t help it. I’m just trying to be safe,” Jeffrey said.

“As long as you cooperate with me, I will guarantee that you can get the goods.

In the future, I will also secretly supply you.”

“How do you want me to cooperate?”

“Have you been in contact with any strangers lately?”

“Strangers…” Schubert tried to think. “I haven’t come into contact with strangers. It’s just that I’ve been under so much pressure recently. I drank some wine in the nightclub and…”

Halfway through his sentence, Schubert suddenly stopped.

“I remember now. I met a woman at a nightclub. We went back to the hotel together last night.”

Jeffrey’s gaze was dark.

“And then you fell in love.”

“No.” Schubert shrugged in frustration and said,

“I drank too much yesterday. When I returned to the hotel, I was already unconscious.”

Jeffrey’s eyes narrowed. “Do you have a picture of the woman? I need to see it.”

“I just wanted to play with her, so I didn’t anything of the sort,” Schubert said.

“Moreover, she’s a Huaxian. I would only toy with her.”

“Huaxian!”

Jeffrey’s heart beat inexplicably faster. He whispered,

“I need all of her information.. I hope you can provide it to me!”
