Chapter 363: Chapter 363 A God-given Opportunity_1

"Fuck, is this guy meeting up with Annie?" Du Lijian couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing Shen Dong entering the restaurant.

"Pretty much dead on!" Dong Qikang nodded.

He couldn’t believe there was such a coincidence that the two just happened to appear here.

If all went as expected, they must have arranged it.

"Damn it, seriously!" Seeing Shen Dong sitting opposite Annie, Du Lijian couldn’t help but exclaim again.

"That son of a bitch Shen Dong, looks like he really has something going on with Annie. They must have worked together to get Qian Haoming thrown into jail. Our son getting caught must have been Shen Dong and Annie’s doing!"

Dong Qikang watched Shen Dong and Annie inside the restaurant, grinding his teeth in anger.

In his view, it was Shen Dong who had teamed up with Annie, plotting together to create a scenario that sent Qian Haoming to prison; their son was just an innocent victim caught in the crossfire.

"So what do we do now, go down the kidnapping route? No, wait, you just said if the two really are involved, there’s a better way. What is it?" Du Lijian agreed with Dong Qikang’s view.

"Since Qian Haoming is Annie’s boyfriend and also serves as the vice-chairman of the Luoke Family Foundation, he must have a deep understanding of Annie and possibly even the Luoke Family secrets. If we tell Qian Haoming about this situation, do you think he would spill those secrets?" Dong Qikang said with a cold laugh.

"Cuckolded and infuriated, he definitely would," said Du Lijian.

"Exactly, we’ll use that to our advantage, have him tell us the situation, then we threaten Annie to make her save our son," Dong Qikang nodded.

"Qian Haoming will certainly want Annie to save him," Du Lijian said.

"Then let Annie save him too, in the end it’s all related to the same case," Dong Qikang said.

"Brother Dong, I must say, I never thought you could be so resourceful. I’m completely outclassed," Du Lijian said admiringly.

"Heh, I’m just a few years older than you, so I’ve thought about it a bit more," Dong Qikang said with a smug smile.

"If I can make a comeback, I’ll definitely hire you as the CEO," said Du Lijian.

"Well, that would be fantastic. Let me be the first to wish you success in your comeback, haha!" Dong Qikang laughed heartily.

Getting recognition from Du Lijian, a former billionaire, made Dong Qikang very happy.

After all, he was down on his luck right now. He used to be a deputy general manager at Xingwang Group, but now he was just a manager in a small catering company.

This kind of recognition gave Dong Qikang a great sense of psychological satisfaction.

"I’ll take your auspicious words to heart," Du Lijian also smiled.

"Right, this might just be your chance for a comeback, and my chance to rise," Dong Qikang suddenly had an idea, his eyes lighting up.

"What do you mean?" Du Lijian asked.

"Let’s go find Qian Haoming later, get the secrets out of him, then threaten Annie to make her save someone. Not just save, but also make her pay. Annie is the precious daughter of the Luoke Family, the chairperson of the Luoke Family Foundation. Asking for a mere twenty or thirty million isn’t too much, right?" Dong Qikang said with a smile.

"Fuck, Brother Dong, your mind is incredible. How did I not think of that? You’re right, this is our chance; we should definitely do it. If you ask me, even twenty or thirty million isn’t enough. We should ask for at least fifty or sixty million. To her, that’s just ten million US dollars. The Luoke Family Foundation controls hundreds of billions of US dollars. To them, ten million per person is nothing!" Du Lijian became excited.

This was an opportunity sent from heaven.

Dong Qikang’s brain was really sharp.

He hadn’t even thought of this, but Dong Qikang did.

There’s a saying that’s spot on: a blessing in disguise, and a misfortune may be a blessing in disguise. It really is true.

Originally, this was a crisis for his son, but now it had transformed into an opportunity for his own resurgence.

"True, asking for a mere ten million US dollars, haha, come on, let’s go to the detention center and find Qian Haoming. Hopefully, Qian Haoming really does have some secrets; otherwise, it’s all in vain," Dong Qikang laughed loudly.

...

In the restaurant.

Shen Dong and Annie sat facing each other.

Shen Dong’s expression was calm, while Annie’s face was brimming with a bright smile.

Seeing Shen Dong, she was very happy.

"What do you want to talk about, just say it," Shen Dong said.

"Mr. Shen, let’s order our meal first. I still really enjoy Dragon Country cuisine—the dietary culture of Dragon Country is truly something Lighthouse Country can’t match," Annie said with a beaming smile.

"You order, I don’t mind. Anything is fine by me," Shen Dong could only respond with patience.

He had no choice; without Annie speaking, he couldn’t force her to talk.

"Alright, then I’ll order," Annie said without any politeness, ordering several dishes.

"Okay, we’ve ordered the food. Can we talk now?" Shen Dong said.

"Mr. Shen, you wouldn’t mind if we eat first, then talk, would you?" Annie asked with a bat of her eyelids.

"Honestly, I’m a bit bothered by it," Shen Dong admitted bluntly.

"Mr. Shen, that’s not very gentlemanly of you," Annie pretended to be annoyed.

"I don’t think so. In my eyes, not talking about important matters but instead focusing on meals is quite impolite," Shen Dong ignored Annie’s feigned emotions.

"Impolite or not, I still insist on waiting until after the meal to discuss," Annie revealed her willful disposition.

She knew that if she spoke and Shen Dong disagreed, he would definitely leave right away.

Then she would lose the chance to have a meal alone with Shen Dong.

She hoped to lay some groundwork first.

"Fine then. As it is, I’ve come all this way, and I haven’t heard what you have to say. It wouldn’t be right to just leave now," Shen Dong said as he picked up his teacup to drink.

"That’s much better," Annie smiled and said, "By the way, Mr. Shen, I heard that you and your wife have gotten your marriage certificate but haven’t held a wedding ceremony yet, is that right?"

Shen Dong nodded, saying, "That’s right. It seems you’ve investigated me and have some understanding of Dragon Country’s marriage customs."

Annie shook her head, "It’s not so much an investigation, just a basic understanding. Don’t underestimate me. Although it’s my first time in Dragon Country, I’m quite knowledgeable about it, all thanks to my father. He often comes here and always shares things about Dragon Country with me."

Shen Dong nodded but didn’t say a word.

Annie continued to ask, "Mr. Shen, may I ask why you and your wife haven’t had a wedding ceremony yet?"

Shen Dong replied, "The timing isn’t right yet."

Annie was full of question marks, "Timing? You need the right timing to get married?"

Shen Dong nodded, "Of course, I hope to choose the most suitable time."

Annie blinked, still full of question marks, "The most suitable time? What time is that?"

Shen Dong shook his head, "No need to discuss that. Surely, you didn’t come here just to ask me these questions."
