Lin Ge smiled. "Our ears are very good. The surname Helian doesn't exist outside of Hua Xia, right?"
Baldwin's expression once again revealed a look of surprise. He was clearly shocked by Lin Ge's hearing ability, but he still insisted. "The world is so big, why can't anyone from other countries be called Mr. Helian?"
Xu Yun then slowly said, "The Helian family originated from the Xiongnu tribe in Hua Xia's history. Because the Xiongnu Chanyu took a Han woman as his wife, his descendants followed the Liu family. During the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, the leader of the Xiongnu tribe in the northern part of Hua Xia was called Liu Qubei, the Virtuous Prince of the Right. He was the son of Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Fu the Sixth Sun Duliao General Liu Jinbo. Liu Jinbo was captured during the northern expedition to the Xiongnu and gave birth to Shili. Shili gave birth to Wuli, and Wuli gave birth to Qubei. "
Even Lin Ge was stunned by these things, let alone Baldwin and the other Americans.
"During the Western Jin Dynasty, Liu Hu changed his surname to Tiefu. During the Sixteen Kingdoms of Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Hu's great-grandson, Liu Bobo, the leader of the Tiefu tribe in the Southern Xiongnu tribe, called himself the Heavenly King of Xia. He proudly called himself Yun He Liantian and changed his name to Helian Bobo. He established the famous Xia Kingdom and chased after Liu Qubei to become the emperor. In the history of Hua Xia, it was known as Huxia. The descendants of the royal family used Helian as their surname, which was passed down from generation to generation. "Xu Yun explained the origin of the surname.
Natasha and Courtney both looked at Xu Yun with admiration. It was simply unbelievable.
Both of them were the kind of people who could come up with a few stories about Hua Xia's history and feel that they knew a lot about Hua Xia's culture, especially Courtney.
And Xu Yun could actually trace the origin of a random surname. His erudition was truly amazing.
"I wonder if the Mr. Helian that Mr. Baldwin mentioned was not from Hua Xia. Where is he from?" Xu Yun asked. "If there is another surname other than Hua Xia, then there are some historical reasons. It's worth researching."
Baldwin was speechless.
"Mr. Baldwin, there's nothing to hide about this. What would happen if I knew? What would happen then? There's no loss for you. "Lin Ge said," There's no point in hiding it from me. "
"It's just for the sake of the guests." Natasha tried to explain, "Confidentiality is part of our job. It's precisely because we've done a good job of keeping secrets that I believe Mr. Carlos is more at ease with us. "
Lin Ge waved his hand and said disdainfully, "This is actually meaningless."
"What do you mean?" Natasha asked.
"If you don't keep it a secret, I won't provoke the people I don't want to provoke. If you want to keep it a secret, I'll have my ways to find out the people I want to know about," Lin Ge said. "That's why I said there's no other meaning to what you're doing."
Natasha smiled. "That's not the case. If we don't want Mr. Carlos to know the client's information, you won't be able to get it from us. What happened with Mr. Helian today was my mistake. I didn't expect the two of you to have such good hearing."
"This has nothing to do with hearing." Lin Ge said, "You said those words in front of us. Even if we read your lips, we can still tell that it's Chinese characters."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Also, I can find out what I want to know. That's not the only thing I'm talking about." Lin Ge looked at Xu Yun. The two of them had a tacit understanding. Xu Yun could read Lin Ge's intention from his eyes.
"Then, what do you mean?" Courtney questioned, slightly annoyed. "What do you think you can do?"
"I think that if I want to know something that Mr. Baldwin doesn't want to tell me, I have my own way to solve it." Lin Ge raised his eyebrows, a provocative look on his face.
At that moment, Xu Yun suddenly made his move. Xu Yun's actions were completely beyond Natasha and Courtney's expectations. Before Baldwin could even react, Xu Yun had already placed the sushi chopstick against his throat.
As long as Xu Yun exerted a little force, the chopstick would pierce through Baldwin's throat.
Baldwin didn't dare to move anymore!
Courtney did not hold back. She furiously pulled out a dagger and placed it against Lin Ge's neck. Lin Ge did not resist at all, allowing Courtney to place the dagger against his neck.
He knew very well that while Baldwin's life was still in Xu Yun's hands, Courtney would not dare to do anything to him.
"Do you dare to do it?" As Courtney placed the dagger against his throat, Lin Ge casually said, "Mr. Baldwin's life is in my people's hands. What you're doing will not do him any good. It will only increase his danger."
"Courtney! Put down the dagger! "Natasha glared.
Courtney wanted to refute. However, when she turned her head and saw Baldwin's gaze, she reluctantly put away the dagger. She glared at Lin Ge with a furious expression.
"Now that's a good boy," Lin Ge said.
Natasha looked seriously at Lin Ge and said, "Mr. Carlos, the misunderstanding between us is quite deep. So, I hope that we can let bygones be bygones."
"Originally, I had already let bygones be bygones. However, you two have always been suspicious of me." Lin Ge said, "I know that you have a sharp tongue. I also know that you are an important person by Mr. Baldwin's side. However, I do not wish to hear you speak again. There are some things that I need to discuss with Mr. Baldwin alone."
Baldwin could feel the threat of the chopstick. Although it was just a chopstick, in the hands of someone who could control him in the blink of an eye, it was no less threatening than a gun.
Natasha and Courtney were beside him. Yet, they were unable to stop Chen Xiaolian's attack. How could such speed not be intimidating?
"Carlos, this won't have any positive effect on our cooperation." Baldwin was someone who had been through a lot. Even so, he was able to remain calm. "What do you want to talk about? We can talk about it properly. There is no need for this. Hurry up and send your men back. I guarantee that there will be no resentment. "
"Mr. Baldwin, can I trust your words?" Lin Ge asked.
"Of course," Baldwin said with certainty.
Lin Ge shook his head and said, "To be honest, I really don't trust you. It is just like how you don't trust me. Mr. Baldwin, this crisis of trust between us is not caused by me. It is caused by you. "
"Then, what do you want me to do to resolve this crisis of trust between us?" Baldwin smiled and maintained his calm. "I will do whatever you say. If this can make you feel at ease, I am willing to cooperate with you."
"Other than cooperating with me, do you have any other way?" Lin Ge smiled. "If someone poses a threat to my life, I will say the same thing."
Baldwin's smile was quite awkward. However, he had no other choice but to cooperate.
"How about this, Mr. Baldwin. If we want to trust each other, then tell me all your so-called secrets. I don't need too much. You just need to give me a list of all the bosses from Hua Xia who have asked you to launder money." Lin Ge smiled.
The smile disappeared from Baldwin's face. This request was simply impossible.
"Mr. Carlos, we have our own rules. This request of yours is breaking our rules. This is absolutely impossible." Natasha could not help but speak up again.
"Beauty, I remember saying that it is best if you do not speak. This is a conversation between me and your boss. Are you the boss of Baldwin Group or is Mr. Baldwin the boss?" Lin Ge said, "If you always steal the limelight, people will criticize you behind your back and call you a femme fatale."
Natasha was stunned. This had happened to her a long time ago.
"This is not a difficult question to ask." Lin Ge smiled. Mr. Baldwin, what you think is a secret is not a secret to me. I also have a list of names. The reason I asked you to give me this list is not because I want to know any secrets. I just want to see if you are sincere to me. If you give me a list of names, then you still do not trust me. I am afraid we can no longer be friends. "
"Since you have it, there is no point in giving it to you." Baldwin shook his head. "If you want my trust, there are many ways."
Lin Ge insisted. "But right now, I feel that this is the most reliable way. I said that I have the list, but Mr. Baldwin still does not trust me. That is why you are reacting this way."
Trust? How could he trust him? Baldwin cursed inwardly. Damn it!
