A promise made by a man was a man of his word.
Xu Yun stood up and looked around the villa. "Mr. Rodney Lavigne, how much of the hinterland around this villa is your personal territory?"
"Very much. It's my territory since those cars didn't dare to chase after you." Rodney Lavigne said, "If they dared to chase after you at that time, they would have been blown to ashes by my people!"
"How many people know about this?" Xu Yun said lightly, "At least when I walked to that place, I didn't know that I had entered your territory. I believe that most people don't know about this kind of thing. Those who know that this place is your territory must have heard you talk about it before and have been to this place before. Otherwise, how could they know? "
Rodnan Lavini's expression changed instantly. His cold eyes glinted coldly. "You mean … the person who did this to Celine is someone who is familiar with me, and may have even come to this place with me, and heard me talk about this territory of mine?"
Xu Yun shrugged and spread his hands. Needless to say, only those who have heard from you and your own people can know these things. It's impossible for outsiders to know. What a simple truth.
"Mr. Rodney Lavigne, if I'm not wrong, there must be someone who knows all this. He must have had a conflict of interest with you in the past few days, or some kind of conflict of common interests." Xu Yun said, "And in this conflict of interest, the one who gets the most out of it is you, Mr. Rodney Lavigne … So …"
Rodney Lavigne's face was getting paler and paler. Xu Yun's inference was indeed what happened a few days ago.
Two years ago, he and his old friend, Peter Lanshen, the leader of the Knights Templar, developed a project about tourism, shopping malls, and housing. Their purpose was very clear, which was to earn money from the pockets of the rich people who traveled abroad in Hua Xia. But a week ago, they had some conflicts on this project.
The money in the pockets of these Hua Xia rich people was often not obtained through normal channels, so they squandered money like water without any hesitation! They would buy whatever was expensive or luxurious. In short, in the eyes of these Hua Xia people who went shopping abroad, money was not money at all! He didn't even blink when he swiped his card. He spent more than a hundred thousand USD as if nothing had happened.
However, everyone also knew that the gap between the rich and the poor in Hua Xia was very obvious. In 1983, a certain Comrade Ping came to power and announced that the Hua Xia Movement would lead to a socialist society with Hua Xia characteristics. He wanted some people to get rich first.
Then, as expected, some people became rich first. This was a good thing. Hua Xia's reform and opening up had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the people's living standards were also flourishing. However, this group of people who became rich first did not turn back to help those who did not become rich. Instead, they only cared about continuing to become rich!
As a result, the gap between the rich and the poor in Hua Xia became huge. To be honest, the gap between the rich and the poor in a socialist society far exceeded that in a capitalist society. It was simply a joke!
Fortunately, in 1993, another Comrade Ping appeared. Would he change this situation? At least now, it seemed that many people who did not understand the source of their wealth were beginning to be afraid.
This fear was also expressed in their shopping sprees abroad! It seemed that only by spending this money would they not be investigated and killed in their hands.
Rhodes, Lavini, and Peter Lanshen saw this point and began to research this tourism project. They even developed large villas that Hua Xia people liked and built them directly around the scenic spots. They knew that Hua Xia people did not lack money and would definitely be willing to spend it, so they could earn money.
This was actually enough to earn money, but Peter Lanshen proposed that they sell some fake luxury goods in the shopping malls that they invested in at the same time. Peter Lanshen made his fortune by faking and imitating fake goods.
In his eyes, Hua Xia people were country bumpkins. Even if it was fake, if you put it in a specialty store, they would think it was real. They did not look at the material or style. What they cared about was the price! As long as it was expensive! That was good! If they did not buy the right one, they would buy the expensive one. This was the characteristic of Hua Xia country bumpkins.
In the eyes of foreigners, this was the level of a group of people who had become rich first, cultivated by socialist countries with Hua Xia characteristics.
But Rhodes, Lavini, disagreed. He felt that it was okay to make money from high-end products. This was not wrong, but they could not use fake goods to destroy high-end products.
There was a conflict between the two. Rhodes, Lavini, felt that there was no need to earn this money, while Peter Lanshen felt that Rhodes, Lavini, deliberately did not want him to earn this money! It was not like he did not want to give Rhodes a share of the profits. If he could give him 30% of the profits for free, what was there to refuse?
The two men caused a huge conflict on this issue, which eventually led to a falling out. But in the end, things passed like this.
Peter Lanshen did not care about Rhodes, Lavini's opposition, and secretly put the fake luxury goods into the shopping malls. Peter Lanshen had been secretly doing this, and the profits from it were also in his own pocket. But there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. Rhodes, Lavini, finally found out.
The enraged Rhodes Lavini gave the order, and the hundreds of Dark Angel members found all the counterfeit luxury goods in the mall and destroyed them all! The value of these things did not matter, but Peter Lanshen's face seemed to be burned with these things.
This matter completely caused a conflict between the two men. Peter Lanshen, who learned of this matter, also rushed to the scene with the Paladins.
The scene was at daggers drawn. If the riot police had not appeared in time, something big might have happened. The two friends, who had always had a good cooperative relationship, unexpectedly ended up in this situation because of their different standpoints.
Rhodes realized that this matter must be because Peter Lanshen held a grudge and wanted to retaliate against him.
Peter Lanshen knew very well that the most important thing to Rhodes was his daughter. Everything else was better than letting him experience the pain of losing his daughter!
Seeing that Rodnan Lavini didn't speak for a long time, Xu Yun asked, "Mr. Rodnan Lavini, I believe you already know who did it, right?"
"Not only have I realized it, I'm even sure!" Rhodes gritted his teeth and said, "I really didn't expect Peter to be so vicious after knowing him for so many years. I will never forgive him for this matter! Since the Paladins want to provoke the majesty of the Dark Angel, I will let them know who is the number one master of Canada! "
Pa! Rodney Lavigne slammed his palm on the table.
Celine's eyes widened in disbelief. She could not believe that the person she had always called uncle would do such a thing to her. Did Dad make a mistake? How could it be?
"Everyone said they were indebted to you when you were alive, but everyone wanted to fan your grave after you died. It is difficult to paint a dragon or a tiger, but it is difficult to paint the bones. You may know a person's face, but not his heart. "Bai Xiaoye seemed to see Celine's disappointment and comforted her.
Celine glanced at Bai Xiaoye gratefully. All the disgust she had for her before had now disappeared. At this moment, she really hoped that she could have a best friend to vent her frustrations. Although she had just met Bai Xiaoye, she really hoped that Bai Xiaoye could be her audience.
Rhodes made a few phone calls and was ready to denounce the culprit. With so many people, they would definitely not be at a disadvantage, so Xu Yun decided to add flowers to the brocade. "Mr. Rhodes, if you don't mind, I can go with you. Maybe I can help."
"I can't ask for more!" Rhodes said. Of course, he hoped to have the help of an expert.
"Bai Xiaoye, I will leave Miss Celine to you." Xu Yun raised his eyebrows.
