Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Liu Qiangxi pressed the answer button and turned on the speaker before he began, "Master Chen."

Chen Buhui's apologetic voice came through, "President Liu, I'm sorry, I sent people to the locations you mentioned this afternoon to look for those people, but we couldn't find anyone. It's possible they aren't at those places anymore."

Xu Yang and his companions all sneered, but none of them made a sound.

It was certain that those people had been silenced.

Liu Qiangxi said, "You didn't find them, huh? That's troublesome. Without those witnesses, we have no way to deal with Nolden."

Chen Buhui replied, "President Liu, please rest assured, I will have my people expand the search area. As soon as we find them, I will notify you immediately."

Liu Qiangxi said helplessly, "That's all we can do for now. Thank you for the trouble."

Chen Buhui expressed his regret, "What trouble? I really feel terrible for not being able to help you, and for not handling things well."

Liu Qiangxi responded, "Master Chen, there's no need for that. I know you certainly want to help us find the people. We all appreciate your intentions."

Chen Buhui said, "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Liu. To tell you the truth, I really feel guilty for not managing this matter well and for letting down the trust you've placed in me."

After listening to this, Xu Yang and the others sneered even more in their hearts.

This guy, he sure knows how to perform. It's a pity he isn't in acting.

Liu Qiangxi said, "Master Chen, you truly don't need to act this way. We understand you, and there are still many things we'll need to ask of you in the future."

"Thank you, I can only express my gratitude again." Chen Buhui said gratefully, and then changed the subject, "President Liu, about the matter of the proxy artificial intelligence companions..."

Liu Qiangxi laughed, "We've asked about that and discussed it. Granting you the proxy rights is no problem. Let's do this, we meet tomorrow morning at eleven at the Tree of the World Café. Bring your two sons with you, so we can discuss the details of our cooperation. What do you think?"

Chen Buhui was overjoyed, "That's wonderful, thank you, President Liu. My sons and I will definitely arrive on time."

This was an opportunity to make a fortune, and he had no doubts about it.

Liu Qiangxi said, "Good, then we'll see each other tomorrow."

...

The next day.

Xu Yang and his group arrived at the Tree of the World Café.

Though not located on Wall Street, this café was situated on the top floor of a skyscraper, overlooking the entirety of Wall Street.

The security here was comparable to that of small state heads; no one dared to cause any trouble here.

Moreover, the café featured many private rooms that offered complete confidentiality. Conversations held in these rooms were absolutely not overheard by others.

Many Wall Street tycoons, and even high-ranking officials, preferred to conduct their important meetings here when in New York City.

Here, there was no need to worry about safety or leaking information.

Of course, the coffee here was also very expensive.

The coffee might be the same as in any ordinary café, but the price started at no less than ten thousand dollars a cup.

Those who came to this café were truly the elite and powerful; commoners never frequented this place.

Even the middle class would not dare to come here casually.

Ten thousand dollars for a cup of coffee was something even the middle class could hardly afford.

Unless someone was trying to curry favor with a big shot, inviting them to have coffee with the prospect of significant benefits, they would choose to bring someone here.

After entering the private room, Wang Xiaocong gave a brief introduction to the cafe.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang and his two companions couldn't help but express their amazement.

Xu Yang exclaimed with a sigh, "A cup of coffee costs ten thousand dollars; this is practically no different from robbery."

Wang Xiaocong laughed, "What can you do about it? Those who don't want to come don't have to, but they have the ability to charge so much, and they never lack customers."

Xu Yang shook his head and laughed," This just shows there are too many people plotting unspeakable things."

Wang Xiaocong said, "That's true, but that's just the way the world is. Especially in New City, one of the top metropolises in the world. The owner exactly seized this point and opened such a cafe."

Curious, Xu Yang asked, "Who is the owner? Do you know?"

Wang Xiaocong shook his head," A person of that stature is beyond me to know. However, I have heard some rumors that it was a top financial magnate from Wall Street who had this whim to start the cafe. As for the real name, I don't know, and hardly anyone does."

Xu Yang nodded, "Indeed, such a person is beyond our reach to know."

He glanced at Liu Qiangxi and Chen Buhui, "President Liu, President Chen, you are both top tycoons who have been to New City many times; surely you know of or have been to this cafe, right? Yet, you both seem as clueless as I am."

Liu Qiangxi smiled bitterly, "President Xu, I'm not afraid of your ridicule—I really didn't know about it and hadn't heard of it before."

Chen Buhui also shook his head, "I didn't know either."

Wang Xiaocong said, "You can't blame them. If my guess is correct, President Liu and President Chen haven't been to New City for at least two years, right?"

Liu Qiangxi and Chen Buhui were both taken aback but then nodded in agreement.

Liu Qiangxi said, "Ever since the incident where I was falsely accused, I haven't been back here. It's been five years."

Chen Buhui said, "I haven't been here in three years."

"That's why," Wang Xiaocong nodded, "This cafe opened two years ago. It's normal for you not to know."

Xu Yang realized, "So that's how it is."

Wang Xiaocong boasted, "It was only a year ago when friends mentioned it during my visit here, and I spent over a month in the area, coming here a few times."

Overlooking the scenery of Wall Street, Xu Yang sighed yet again, "This is Wall Street, the center of the world economy. I never imagined before that I would come here."

Wang Xiaocong snorted, "Actually, there's nothing much to see on Wall Street. Despite its glamorous exterior, it's filled with filth and bloodshed inside. Everyone dresses to the nines, but they're all major devils."

Xu Yang was taken aback, puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

Wang Xiaocong snickered, "You don't know? That must be because you've risen so quickly. You haven't had the chance to come across some things, so you're unaware. But I'm sure President Liu and President Chen know what I'm talking about."

Xu Yang looked at Liu Qiangxi and Chen Buhui, noticing their indifferent expressions, clearly aware of the implications in Wang Xiaocong's words.

This piqued his curiosity even more, "Then tell me about it; let me also broaden my horizons."

Wang Xiaocong flaunted, "Wall Street is also referred to as the fortress of vampires in the shadows. Its people suck blood from nations worldwide through various financial instruments: stocks, futures, options, funds, and so on.

They manipulate oil prices to cause global turmoil, set prices for certain commodities to provoke wars between nations, and speculate on various agricultural products, causing famine in many countries. Through these means, they continually reap the world's wealth. The manipulation of stock and futures prices is merely a very conventional method for them, already considered civilized.

It can be said with certainty that everyone here has their hands soaked in the blood of the innocent and that the wealth here reeks of blood."

Hearing this, Xu Yang was deeply shaken.

Upon reflection, it was indeed as Wang Xiaocong had described.

Wall Street affects the world economy, continually harvesting wealth from across the globe.

It's unknown how many people have been ruined or perished under their machinations.

Now, as he looked down upon Wall Street, it seemed completely different, no longer the place he once knew.
