"Song Jinning? General Huo's ex-wife? "Kevin chuckled." She's already his ex-wife. Why do you want her to disappear? "
Guo Huining's expression grew colder. "That's none of your business. Just tell me if you agree or not."
"What if I agree? What if I don't? " Kevin sat in the tea room of a high-rise apartment on the top floor of the Third Ring Road of the Imperial Capital. He slowly poured himself a cup of tea.
The tea room was about two meters long and one meter wide. It was a very narrow strip.
The paper door was low, so one had to bow when entering.
There was a portrait of a monk sitting cross-legged on the wall behind him. It was simple and elegant.
There was an ordinary straw mat on the floor. There was only a white porcelain vase and a dark red Jingdezhen pottery pot on the ebony coffee table in front of him.
He held the round teacup in his hand and lowered his head to take a sip.
He was also wearing a Bluetooth headset and didn't have his phone with him.
Guo Huining was speechless for a long time.
Yes, so what if she agreed? So what if she didn't agree?
But she just couldn't take it lying down!
At the same time, she had a faint premonition that if she really let Song Jinning go, it would be difficult for her and Huo Guanchen to succeed …
Even if she didn't know who her rival in love was, a woman's subconscious always had an inexplicable premonition and hostility.
Guo Huining puffed out her cheeks and clenched her fists in her pockets.
Walking on the path in the West Mountains at dusk, she could see the setting sun through the sparse branches. It was yellow and hung on the ridge not far away, exuding the unique bleakness of winter.
Kevin wasn't in a hurry. He blew away the green dust on his tea and quietly waited for Guo Huining to speak.
Guo Huining walked to the end of the mountain path and watched the red sun in the distance sink below the horizon.
Not a sound could be heard in the valley except for the chilly wind blowing through the treetops.
She took a deep breath and looked down. It wasn't a bottomless abyss, but it was a bottomless cliff.
Looking at the path ahead, the elegant and quaint villa was already lit up. The lights dotted the mountains at dusk, like an ethereal mountain in the clouds.
That was the level she had worked hard to reach since she was a child …
Guo Huining finally said, "As long as you can make Song Jinning disappear, I will only work with you in the future."
He was tying the rest of his life to Kevin's group.
Kevin chuckled again. "Okay. Miss Guo, since you've agreed, fine, I'll help you. "
Guo Huining's clenched fists gradually loosened, and a smile reappeared on her face.
But before she could smile, Kevin said, "… But I have a condition."
"What condition?"
"You know Song Jinning's status and the security around her. Making her disappear isn't something that can be done with just a few words, "Kevin said rationally.
Guo Huining nodded. "That's why I came to you. If you don't have the ability, why should I cooperate with you?"
Kevin laughed even harder. "Miss Guo, I don't think you understand that you're the one asking for our help, not the other way around. Besides, you're nothing now. You haven't even become Huo Guanchen's fiancée. What right do you have to negotiate with us? "
Guo Huining was caught off guard. She felt like she had been slapped in the face. Even her nose felt sour, and she almost cried.
"… Don't go too far!" She growled. "If you don't agree, then don't agree! Do you think I can't find someone else to cooperate with without you?! "
"Haha, go look for her then. I lose if you can find her. " Kevin picked up the teapot elegantly and poured himself another half a cup of tea. His voice became cold. "Miss Guo, I don't think you understand that you're already on our boat. You want to leave? Dream on. "
"What do you mean?! I didn't do anything! How did I get on your boat?! " Guo Huining was shocked. She turned around and leaned against the tree next to the cliff, hiding herself in the darkness.
"You didn't do anything? Forget about anything else, just show someone the recording of our conversation today. You know what will happen. "
Guo Huining's heart sank. Her eyes widened in shock. "You secretly recorded our conversation without my permission?! That's illegal! "
Kevin spat out the tea in his mouth.
He laughed so hard he almost cried. "… Miss Guo, you already want to kill someone. Why would you care if someone illegally recorded your phone call?! You have a serious double standard. "
"When did I want to kill someone?!" Guo Huining refused to admit it. "I just want her to disappear in front of me. You have so many tricks up your sleeve. Is killing someone the only way to make someone disappear?! "
"Huh? Making her disappear without killing someone? What should I do then? "Kevin held back his laughter and pretended to be surprised.
"… There are so many ways. Do you still need me to teach you?" Guo Huining sneered. "Sell her to Southeast Asia. Although she's old, her beauty is incomparable to ordinary beauties. She'll definitely make a lot of money for you in Southeast Asia! "
"Human smuggling?" Kevin pretended to think for a while. "It doesn't seem impossible. We have smugglers who do this, but what price can you afford? "
"… Price?" Guo Huining frowned. "I said I'll only work with you in the future. Why are you so short-sighted and asking for money now?"
"So Miss Guo is trying to get something for nothing?" Kevin clicked his tongue. "If we help you, what if you go back on your words in the future?"
Guo Huining felt a little guilty. She mumbled in a low voice, "Didn't you record me? With this recording, you'll be afraid that I'll go back on my words? "
"That's hard to say. Some people are very thick-skinned. Not to mention that it's just a phone recording, even if it's written in black and white, they won't admit it. So, Miss Guo, why do you want us to take the risk to help you? "
"… Aren't you scheming to get me on your boat?" Guo Huining calmed down from the mountain breeze and quickly found the loophole in Kevin's words.
Kevin chuckled. "We've been scheming for a long time? Miss Guo seems to have it backwards. The one scheming is Miss Guo. We just happened to be at the right time. It's convenient for us. "
"Alright, what do you want? I'll agree to any condition. Can't I? " Guo Huining finally relented. "As long as you can make Song Jinning disappear, I'll even write you an IOU!"
"There's no need for an IOU. We don't lack money." Kevin propped his head on the ebony coffee table and said lazily, "I'll help you make Song Jinning disappear, but you have to prove your loyalty first."
"What loyalty?"
"… Our company is having a Christmas party in a few days." Kevin smiled. "If you can attend with General Huo, I'll make Song Jinning disappear."
Guo Huining immediately relaxed, but she quickly frowned again. "… But Guanchen isn't a businessman. How can he attend your company's Christmas party? Aren't you making things difficult for me? "
"Haha, that's your problem, not mine." Kevin lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner in the tea room. He took a deep breath of the rising sandalwood fragrance and looked intoxicated.
Guo Huining hesitated for a while. She gathered her coat and walked back. "… Which company are you from? I'll think of a way. "
"… Our company is, of course, Carlyle International Investments Limited. Isn't that a disgrace to General Huo? "Kevin stood up and looked at his tea room with his hands behind his back. He felt refreshed.
The tea and sandalwood fragrance intertwined, clearing his mind and calming his heart.
"… You're from Carlyle International Investments Limited?!" Guo Huining was shocked, but quickly realized that this made sense.
Dou Aiyan and Deputy Director Jia, who had been in contact with her, were both from Carlyle International Investments Limited.
Of course, their leader was more likely to be from Carlyle International Investments Limited.
Guo Huining took out her phone and quickly searched for information on Carlyle International Investments Limited's senior executives.
As a public company, Carlyle International Investments Limited's senior executives' information was public.
She quickly found Kevin's information on Carlyle's official website. It turned out that he really was a senior executive of Carlyle.
He was only in his thirties, but he was already the COO of a multinational investment company like Carlyle.
Chief Operating Officer (COO).
At C
COO was a special position among the senior executives of C level.
The importance of this position varied depending on the company.
In some companies, this position was even lower than the CEO or CFO. However, in other companies, the COO was the real boss.
Guo Huining searched for a long time. Aside from Kevin's dazzling resume, she couldn't find anything wrong with him.
He was born into a middle-class family overseas, went to a prestigious school, and successfully entered Wall Street after graduation. Eight years later, he became the COO of Carlyle, the largest investment company in the United States.
A person like this had influence in the Huaxia Empire. He even had people monitoring Huo Guanchen's whereabouts.
Guo Huining could only sigh, "It's good to be rich." She was in complete admiration.
"… Ok, COO Kevin, I'll work with you." Guo Huining's tone was much better now.
Kevin raised an eyebrow, "Looks like you've already checked my information. I've taken such a big risk and told you my true identity. I hope you won't disappoint me. Cooperation is based on mutual trust. Miss Guo, please remember that. "
Guo Huining nodded, "No problem. Send me two invitations to your company's Christmas party. Otherwise, how am I supposed to bring Guanchen there? "
"Ok." Kevin walked out of his tea room, "I'll get my secretary to send you the invitations right away."
With that, Kevin hung up and smiled slightly.
He walked into his room and took out his phone. He looked at his resume on Carlyle's official website and shook his head mockingly.
With a swipe of his hand, the page of his information on Carlyle's official website was erased.
Anyway, he hacked Carlyle's official website and put it up temporarily to trick Guo Huining and the big fish that wanted to be a fisherman.
…
Guo Huining's call ended, and so did Huo Guanchen's people.
Because the situation this time was special, they immediately reported it to Huo Guanchen.
Huo Guanchen sat expressionlessly in the intelligence room and listened to the recording of Guo Huining and Kevin's conversation with his personal secretary.
When he heard Guo Huining say she wanted to sell Song Jinning to Southeast Asia, a flash of suppressed anger flashed in his eyes.
