Chapter 778

James Deeds continued with an ugly expression.

“All the capable people in the company follow Shi Luo’s lead. Taking down Shi Luo is equivalent to taking control of most of the truly capable talents in the company. But now, for a mere 4,532,660,000, you forcefully pushed Shi Luo, who had already taken the bait, away. Do you know that?” “We spent most of the day planning yesterday. Weren’t we just trying to get him to take the bait?”

“In order to prove that you’re a doctor sent by the headquarters, Aaron Berg and I didn’t sleep for almost the entire night just to make up a fake identity for you!”

James Deeds knew that he should not speak to Melody Fox in such a tone, but when he thought of Melody’s performance in front of Shilo, he could not help but vent the anger in his chest.

Facing James Deeds’s accusation, Melody was not angry.

She knew that it was precisely because James Deeds was sincerely thinking about Ken Swanson’s interests that he was in such a hurry.

Such a hot-tempered person was the most sincere and trustworthy.

“James Deeds, don’t be anxious. I have my reasons for doing this…”

Aaron Berg could not stand it anymore. He could not help but say to James Deeds, “Mr. Deeds, Miss Fox, must have other plans. You are not present, therefore, you might not be able to sense Shi Luo’s attitude. Under those circumstances, although Shi Luo took the initiative to ask Miss Fox about his condition, he did not completely trust her. It’s better to delay it first and find another opportunity. Perhaps this is better.”

“Shut up! Is it your turn to speak?”

Aaron Berg lowered his head. “Yes, it’s all my fault, Mr. Deeds.”

James Deeds did not even look at Aaron Berg. He directly said to Melody Fox, “You said you have your own ideas. Tell me about them.”

However, as soon as he said that, James Deeds regretted it. He was so depressed that his face turned green and white. It was not because of anything else, but because Miss Fox had her reasons for every arrangement.

Fortunately, Miss Fox did not seem to be angry?

Melody Fox raised her wrist and looked at him. She said, “I have something else I need you to do now. I don’t have time to explain it to you. Help me check which company they’re discussing a collaboration with today.” “Yes…” James Deeds was too embarrassed to say anything else. He lowered his head and used his phone to contact the people from the branch company.

Ken Swanson had spies and manpower all over every branch company, and Lincheng was no exception.

Less than a minute after the message was sent, James Deeds received an answer.

“I found it. They’re discussing a collaboration with Lincheng’s local New City Construction Materials Group.”

“What’s the name of their vice president?”

“Huh? Why are you asking this?”

“Just check it out.”

James Deeds quickly began to investigate. In less than half a minute, he found it.

“His name is Zhang Heming.”

Melody Fox raised her eyebrows and muttered, “I didn’t expect it to really be him…”

The man she had saved last night.

It seemed that the name “Fang Jianguo” she heard was not the same name.

“Halcyon, according to the rules of the business world, will definitely organize a banquet in the afternoon. We also need you to investigate the location of the banquet now. Then, we will leave immediately.”

“I casually asked about that just now. It’s at the largest hotel in Lin City, Millennium Hotel.”

“Alright, book a restaurant. It’s best if it’s next door. We’ll set off immediately after that.”

“Yes,” James Deeds replied. He suddenly thought of Ken Swanson and asked hesitantly, “What about the young master?”

“He can just wait at the hotel. There are too many people at the dinner, in case someone from Ulric Swanson is inside, so it’s best if he doesn’t show his face.”

“Yes.”

Although James Deeds lacked EQ, he was still very efficient.

Soon, he arranged a private room opposite the private room that the other party had reserved.

About 30 minutes later, they arrived at the Millennium Hotel.

After sitting down in the private room, Melody talked to James Deeds about her thoughts.

“It’s only after I met Shi Luo face-to-face that I really understand him. This person is a little arrogant and won’t give in easily. And judging from his reaction, he probably knows that if he doesn’t surrender, his life will be shortened in days.”

“But it’s also because of his arrogance that he hasn’t officially given in to Ulric Swanson yet. However, even the most arrogant person is afraid of death. On the day the poison completely acts up, he will definitely stand on Ulric Swanson’s side.”

“So, before we do, we’re going to give Shi Lou a choice. Of course, that’s not really letting him choose which side, Ulric Swanson or us. We’ll save him just so he’d think he had another choice.”

“Only when arrogant people make their own choices will they be loyal to their own choices. Otherwise, they will only waver like those fence-sitters.”

James Deeds said with a confused expression, “Miss Fox, with all due respect… I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Melody smiled gently and said, “It’s fine if you don’t understand. Other than you, I mainly want to tell someone else.”

“Who?”

Melody tapped the phone on the table. Only then did James Deeds notice that Melody had just sent a voice message.

The sender was Ken Swanson.

Although they had already confirmed their feelings and were officially husband and wife, she still had to be professional and explain things to Ken Swanson.

Ding dong. Ken Swanson replied in words, “I understand what you mean. Do everything according to your thoughts.”

James Deeds couldn’t help but feel inferior.

Why did these two people… make him look like a fool?

He sighed and asked what he was curious about.

“Miss Fox, you don’t have to explain what you just said to me. I’m a person with a small brain and can’t think about very profound things. I’m just curious about one thing. Since we’re going to save him, why did you ask him to pay 4,532,660,000? Why didn’t you agree to treat him just like that?”

“Because he doesn’t trust me at all, so I have to do something big…”

Melody shook her wrist and smiled. “I’ve applied something special on my wrist. It will trigger the poison in advance.”

“You mean to let him flare up and then we can take the opportunity to treat him?”

“Not to take the opportunity to treat him, but to make him beg us for treatment. Have you forgotten? I just said to give him a chance to choose.”

James Deeds immediately became nervous.

“Then what should we do now? What should we prepare?”

Melody Fox did not answer. Instead, she talked about something else.

“I saved a man last night. Now it’s time to collect the reward.”

James Deeds was confused.

“What do you mean? What man?”

“You’ll find out later.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Aaron Berg pushed the door open and entered.

“Miss Fox, they’re here.”

“Has Zhang Heming arrived?”

“Not yet.”

“Then let’s keep waiting.”

About ten minutes later, Aaron Berg brought the latest news again.

“Zhang Heming’s car has arrived.”

Melody stretched and said, “What’s wrong with this hotel? Why are the dishes so slow? Let’s go, Aaron Berg. Let’s go and rush the dishes.”
