Before even Mr. Hong answer him, the guard grabbed his bag from him. Inside was a file containing his ownership of shares of a well-known company in China. The leader who was sitting all the while without a word grabbed those documents and checked them. He read every word written in there. After checking everything he nodded at the man behind him.
Then The man beside the leader put the file which he was holding behind him. He spread the documents on the table. And gave a pen to his leader.
"Old man time to sign away your wealth!" The man said with a creepy smile.
"S-sir, c-can we increase the amount a l-little b-bit?" Mr. Hong asked cautiously.
A creepy smile rang around the room. "What do you think old man? Do you think Diavolo will increase the price? Tell me your opinion?" The man said jokingly.
"He… he will not a-agree." Mr. Hong said gulping down the lump in his throat.
"Then sign this!" The man commanded in a dangerous voice. The guard standing behind Mr. Hong inserted a pen in his clenched fingers and pushed him more towards the table.
"Show him the places needs to be signed." The man told to the guard. Then the guard put Mr. Hong's hand on the spread-out documents in the table and showed the places.
"Aren't you removing my blindfolds?"
"There's no need for that. Just sign on the places shown to you."
Then Mr. Hong proceed to sign the documents as guided by the guard. After that the guard collected all the papers and gave it to their leader. Checking everything the leader also signed the documents.
"Your work here is over." The man said and signaled the guard to escort the old man out.
"Happy retirement Mr. Hong" The man said to the leaving old man.
"Congratulations young master!" After Mr. Hong left the man said to his leader.
"En. Carry on the other things" Saying this the leader also left the room followed by the other man.
"Young master are we buying more shares?" Li Xiang asked while following Long Yi Chen out of the dark creepy room. Yes, it was none other than Long Yi Chen and Li Xiang who bought Long Corporation's shares from one of the minor shareholders Mr. Hong.
They have been buying Long Corporations hares discreetly for a few months now. World only knew Diavolo bought them not about the Long Yi Chen's connection to Diavolo. But China business leaders didn't give much attention to Diavolo's actions of buying the shares of Long Corporation as it's a well-known fact that Diavolo always buys shares from big and small, successful and bankrupted companies all around the world.
"Buy 4% of shares more. Then stop it. We already have 10% in our hands. Too much buying will raise suspicion."
"Yes, young master." Li Xian answered respectfully.
"Update other things." Long Yi Chen said. Li Xian immediately understood what he said as his master's words always had been short not talking much other than necessary.
"We checked on the properties of late Mr. Long and Mrs. Long. All of them are still intact without being sold as Long family didn't have any authority to do so. The shares from other companies in the name of them have been handled by your uncles and the dividends are currently being manipulated by them."
"Hmm." Long Yi Chen nodded his head.
"Are going to the company young master or to the apartment?"
"To the company."
"Yes, master. Then I will bring the car."
Li Xiang went to another ally near the café. For now, they are using a car which was rented on Li Xiang's name, as they still can't let others know that Long Yi Chen is back in the country. Hiding is better for the safety of his young master and young miss Wang.
