After Wolin finished speaking, he eagerly looked at KK, waiting for him to pick up the conversation.
KK didn't respond immediately; he just casually chewed on the lollipop in his mouth.
Wolin, left hanging like this, was at a loss whether to remain silent or speak, feeling like he was on pins and needles.
No one knows how much time passed before KK slightly nodded and took a contract from the briefcase in Su Mo's hand, placing it on the table: "Let's sign a letter of intent for investment then."
Wolin was stunned: "Huh? Sign it now?"
KK countered: "Not willing?"
Wolin quickly said: "No, no, it's not that I'm unwilling... it's just that we haven't discussed the details yet. I think, maybe I should introduce more about the current situation of Gael Industries?"
KK chuckled softly, leaning back on the sofa with a deep tone: "Mr. Wolin, you might be underestimating the intelligence department of Blue Leaf Capital."
"The personnel composition, business model, revenue status of Gael Industries... both the disclosed and undisclosed, I know it all."
"If you're interested in cooperation, you can look at the contents of this contract; all the details you need are in there. It's also okay if you're not willing to cooperate, I..."
The phone rang, interrupting KK before he could finish.
Su Mo gestured an apology and went to the corner to take the call.
After the call ended, he whispered something into KK's ear.
Their voices were too low for Wolin to hear clearly, but he faintly discerned that they were going to discuss another company next.
Later, Wolin vaguely heard the name "Luoke Industries."
Luoke Industries was a competitor of Gael Industries, with a high overlap in business, and they had always been at odds.
If Blue Leaf Capital's investment went to Luoke Industries, Gael Industries would be doomed!
Wolin hurriedly picked up the contract: "President L, are you busy next? If not, I can review the contract right now and give you a reply on the spot?"
KK said blandly: "I'm very busy, but it's okay, I can spare the time for you."
Wolin, flattered, began to carefully read through the contract.
The contract contained no issues, it was a standard equity investment intention contract, showing no pitfalls, with fair conditions, and mutually beneficial.
After reading, Wolin was overjoyed, signing and implementing this contract would lead Gael Industries to soar!
He immediately said: "President L, your side is truly sincere! If convenient for you, shall we sign now?"
KK: "Sure, let's sign now."
KK took out a prepared pen and ink pad from the briefcase.
Wolin hurriedly brought over the company seal, took the pen, and signed and stamped without hesitation.
Deal done, KK smiled and shook hands with Wolin: "Pleasure doing business."
Just then, the secretary brought in tea and snacks, sweetly saying: "Please enjoy."
As she served tea to KK, she sneaked a glance at him.
She was a "looks" person in life, liking youthful appearances, and only worked for someone like the greasy middle-aged Wolin under real-world pressure.
KK's fair and refined look, coupled with a social status even her boss couldn't match, made her heart flutter.
This flutter led to trouble.
She was distracted, causing the tea to spill over the table, accidentally soaking the contract paper.
"What's wrong with you?!" Wolin nearly wanted to eat her alive.
The secretary was so scared that she almost cried, quickly using her sleeve to absorb the tea on the contract, apologizing with a sob: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean it..."
Wolin was so angry he nearly slapped her, but considering the guests nearby, he maintained a facade of composure: "Careless... President L, I'm really sorry, excuse us for this. Let me clean it up."
Saying that he picked up the wet contract.
"Wait a minute!..." KK seemed to notice something amiss, trying to snatch the contract back.
But it was too late.
Inadvertently, Wolin glimpsed the contract's contents, his vision suddenly fixed.
Due to the tea stains, the special ink on the contract experienced a subtle chemical reaction.
The words in the wet spots grew blurry, fading, until they vanished.
Different content slowly emerged in the same spot.
Witnessing the sudden change, Wolin froze on the spot, his pupils dilating, and his gaze becoming increasingly bizarre.
KK returned to his seat, his expression serene, speaking with the same depth as before: "Mr. Wolin, you must understand, in this perilous business environment, for a win-win between Blue Leaf Capital and Gael Industries, we implemented some special confidentiality measures in the contract..."
Su Mo smacked KK's head: "Cut the act! Switch to Plan B, take him down!"
After speaking, Su Mo charged forward and landed a punch that cracked Wolin's front tooth.
The secretary screamed and fled in panic.
Wolin lay on the ground, clutching his gaping tooth, in both shock and anger: "Who are you people?!"
"I'm your proletarian daddy." Su Mo snatched the contract and secured it in the briefcase.
No matter how slow Wolin's reaction was, he realized this was a targeted business attack and angrily demanded: "Who sent you?!"
At that moment, there was a commotion outside the door.
KK peered out the door, nervously saying: "Bro, the guards are here, all armed! The hallway's blocked!"
Su Mo drew his hand cannon, placing it against Wolin's head.
Wolin was terrified to the point of wetting himself: "Let's talk this out! Don't shoot!!!"
Su Mo: "That depends on whether your men behave."
He grabbed Wolin as a shield and instructed KK: "Stay behind me, stick close."
The two held Wolin hostage as they exited the office.
The end of the corridor was filled with guards in black, some holding riot shields, others armed with shotguns, glaring at them.
The secretary was frantically calling somewhere within the crowd.
Su Mo held the weapon to Wolin's temple, sternly warning: "Dare to call the cops? At the first sign of sirens or if I see a sheriff in the vicinity, I'll blow his head off!"
Feeling the cold muzzle, Wolin trembled and screamed out: "Don't call the cops! Hang up the phone!"
The secretary hadn't dialed, only able to comply.
Su Mo led KK, keeping Wolin in front, pushing the guards back continuously.
They made their way to the stairway, climbed to the rooftop, and reached the hovercar landing.
Upon exiting, Su Mo sensed an oppressive feeling from the watchtowers on either side of the rooftop.
Evidently, guards inside were aiming at them.
Su Mo discreetly disabled the gun's safety lock, raised his hand, and fired two shots at the watchtower.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Clang! Clang!"
The bullets shattered the watchtower glass, scaring the guards inside into hiding.
Su Mo spoke loudly to them: "We're all out here working for a living, earning a buck isn't easy. You have wives and kids waiting for you at home, don't be foolish and die for the boss."
"The shots just now were warnings, aim your guns at me again, and I'll aim for your heads!"
