Mr. Li's brow was tightly furrowed, but he had no way to speak up.
First, he could not speak for Farbridge Group.
Second, no one would believe his explanation, especially Nalan.
Third, Little White Tiger had told him not to take a position tonight.
Instead, Group Leader Yao spoke up to help Mr. Li out. "The Hua business needs to undergo a full investigation right now. Don't add to our workload, Master Hua."
The seemingly casual remark actually told everyone that neither he nor Farbridge Group could decide whether the Hua business would be acquired.
But Nalan's dark expression did not ease.
Flower Boss nonchalantly picked up some food in front of him, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly. "Group Leader Yao, the Hua Family has extensive holdings. My son manages all our legitimate businesses. Once your investigation is over, you'll have to return them to him."
"Now, I have a deal to discuss with you. Interested?" Flower Boss asked with an amiable smile.
At that moment, he looked like a crafty old businessman.
Group Leader Yao froze. He had thought he would get to watch a good show, not that he would have a part in it.
When the other man did not answer, Flower Boss smiled faintly. "You don't need to investigate me. In ten days, I'll turn myself in and confess to everything. Whether you sentence me to death or let me live, I'll accept it. I have just one condition..."
"For ten days, your investigation team must stay out of Ice Prefecture's internal affairs and leave me alone."
Group Leader Yao fell silent after Flower Boss finished.
He had thought bringing down this big tiger would be a protracted battle, that it would be hard to take him down in less than six months
