Sophia listened to Xiao Zheng's words until he finished. Then Sophia tilted her head slightly, pursed her lips, and said, "I can call them back, but I'm not afraid of angering Qiu Shou, nor am I afraid of the Zhao Family behind her."
After a pause, Sophia continued to ask, "I just want to know, why are you afraid of angering her?"
In Sophia's eyes, Xiao Zheng had always been fearless. How could a mere woman, even if she was Qiu Shou, make Xiao Zheng feel afraid?
Sophia clearly remembered that when she first met Xiao Zheng and used Xiao Zheng to some extent, how did Xiao Zheng take revenge on her —
He was like a wild beast, thoroughly possessing Sofia. Body and soul.
Would he be afraid of Qiu Shou?
Sophia didn't think so.
"We haven't reached that stage yet," Xiao Zheng said with a serious expression. "I'm here to solve this problem."
"How?" Sophia asked in return. "She has already declared war on me. The only thing I can do is to meet her head-on, to strike first and gain the upper hand."
Xiao Zheng shook his head and analyzed from an extremely professional point of view, "The power of the Fox Hunters, strength and teamwork. As for the Heavenly Gates, it includes Sophia's power, strength, personal strength, and professionalism. Your encirclement plan may have some effect, but it will definitely not hurt Qiu Shou. "
After a pause, Xiao Zheng said meaningfully, "Give me some time. I'll sell my old face and see if I can find a chance to turn things around. "
Hearing this, Sophia suddenly grabbed Xiao Zheng's arm, "You're going to negotiate with Qiu Shou?"
"If it's necessary, I will do so," Xiao Zheng said slowly.
"No." Sophia shook her head firmly. "I'm worried if you go rashly. Moreover, I've received reliable information that Qiu Shou has many strong people around her. No matter how strong you are, it will be difficult for you to escape unscathed. "
Xiao Zheng smiled upon hearing this. He shook his head and said, "Your way of doing things is even riskier. Unless you decide to hide for the rest of your life. Unless you can give up your father's foundation. Even a good living environment. "
However, the opposite of such a luxurious living environment was the dark life of hiding.
Sophia had been pampered since she was young, and Xiao Zheng did not want her to end up like that.
"It's decided then," Xiao Zheng said faintly, his tone revealing an unquestionable dignity.
Perhaps he didn't know that as his status rose, as his experience, foundation, and capital continued to accumulate, he had become more and more powerful. Right now, he already had enough prestige. Even someone as powerful as Sofia was slightly timid.
If Xiao Zheng was just an assassin with heaven-defying combat power, an individual with no way to come and go. No matter how much Sophia cared about Xiao Zheng, she would never listen to her. This had nothing to do with character or morality. It was a matter of ability.
Killers were killers, and mercenaries were mercenaries. In terms of the business war and the overall situation, he could not be compared to Sofia, a woman who grew up in an environment where profits were the most important.
But now, Xiao Zheng could already suppress Sofia in all aspects. In terms of business, Xin Ao was already a top first-tier corporation in Hua Xia and even in Asia. In the underground world, the Mercenary Association that he had personally planned also controlled countless underground transactions. Even when working with the Fox Hunter, they were on equal footing and even had a slight advantage.
As for personal ability, from the very beginning, Sofia had admired Xiao Zheng greatly. Otherwise, why would she spend a hundred million pounds to hire Xiao Zheng?
Xiao Zheng's deal to retire had created the highest record in the industry. Even with the current horrifying inflation, to surpass this record was not something that could be achieved in three to five years.
Sofia wanted to refute, but she did not have the confidence. She was willing to obey Xiao Zheng, be it for business or personal reasons. This did not make her feel ashamed. Instead, it made her proud.
Finally, the famous New York socialite Sofia met a powerful man who could completely conquer her. And she was his woman.
In the afternoon, he slept in Sofia's villa. When Xiao Zheng went downstairs, Sofia had already instructed the servants to prepare dinner.
"Time for dinner again?" Xiao Zheng went downstairs with a smile, but he only picked up a glass of red wine and took a small sip.
Sofia came to his side and smiled. "Still not hungry?"
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "I want to make an appointment with Sofia tonight. I won't eat for now. "
Sofia heard this and slightly frowned. "Why the rush?"
"The sooner this matter is settled, the better," Xiao Zheng said slowly. "Qiu Shou's whereabouts are erratic, and he is also mysterious. I'm afraid that if this drags on for too long, we will lose the environment for negotiation. "
"I'll go with you," Sofia said with a serious face.
"If you go, it won't be a negotiation. It will be a war." Xiao Zheng shook his head and put down the glass. "I'll contact him first."
After saying this, he went straight to the living room and slowly sat on the sofa. Then he dialed Qiu Shou's number.
Beep beep.
Beep beep.
After a long wait, the call was finally connected.
"Hello." Qiu Shou's unusually calm voice came from the other side of the phone. It was completely different from what Xiao Zheng had heard before. His voice was cold, resolute, and even murderous.
It directly expressed the will of the owner of the voice.
Xiao Zheng's heart sank. He pursed his lips and said, "Boss Qiu, do you have time tonight?"
"Very busy."
These two concise and comprehensive words had already revealed her intention of not wanting to have too much contact with Xiao Zheng.
"I'm in New York." Xiao Zheng also sent out a signal.
"Yes," Qiu Shou replied calmly, as if he was not surprised.
"I hope to meet you tonight," Xiao Zheng continued. "If Boss Qiu can squeeze out the time."
"Why?"
Qiu Shou asked directly.
Xiao Zheng's expression was calm, but his eyes were slightly complicated. "Deep in my heart, I don't want to be enemies with Boss Qiu."
"But your actions are already a declaration of war against me. A declaration of war against the Zhao family. "Qiu Shou's cold and emotionless voice came from the other side of the phone. "So, this reason is not valid."
Xiao Zheng's emotions fluctuated a little, but he had to make the meeting happen tonight.
He knew very well that Sophia had taken back her order not because she was afraid of Qiu Shou, but because she wanted to give him face. Once the two sides reached an irreversible situation, it would only result in both sides suffering. Or Sophia would suffer a crushing defeat.
This was not what Xiao Zheng wanted to see.
He had come to New York this time to help Sophia. Secondly, to be a middleman.
Even though in his opinion, being a middleman was not very meaningful. It was hard to have any practical effect.
But everything needed to be tried. Otherwise, who would know the result?
Xiao Zheng was silent for a moment. Then, a smile appeared on his face. He said very casually, "Now, we're done talking about business. Why don't we talk about private matters? "
"For example?" Qiu Shou's calm voice came from the other side of the phone.
"From a man's point of view, I really want to know what a powerful woman like Boss Qiu looks like in bed."
