Chapter: 2730
Charlie Wade knew that a high-return investment is very much like gambling. The risks are significant, but if you win, the rewards can be amazing. Right now, his investment in Hamid felt similar to how his mother had invested in early Internet companies in Silicon Valley. Back then, it just took a small amount of money to invest, but if those companies succeeded, the returns would be huge.
Although Hamid’s armed forces aren’t a traditional company, they are a project with a lot of potential. If it succeeds, the benefits could be endless. Because of this, Charlie felt it was important to invest more time and energy into supporting Hamid, offering advice and guidance for the future. Plus, the investment was mostly just some knowledge and a blood-saving pill, while the real money—100 million dollars—came from the Su family.
Charlie believed that once Hamid got started, it would take decades to see a return. So, he didn’t go into detail with the others. Instead, he turned to Su Ruoli and said, “Ruo Li, your current situation is too sensitive for you to leave freely right now. I know it’s tough, but you’ll need to stay here for a while longer.”
Su Ruoli quickly replied, “I will follow all your arrangements!” However, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Charlie noticed her sadness and realized she had been isolated for a long time. She must really miss her mother. After all, her mother had carried her for nine months and raised her alone. Now, with her mother’s fate uncertain, Su Ruoli’s mother would surely be worried sick.
Taking a moment to think, Charlie said, “Since you’ve been cut off from the outside world for so long, your…”
“Your mother must be really worried about you, right?”
When Su Ruoli heard this, her face fell, and she nodded slowly. “I think she must be searching for me everywhere. If I don’t find my body, she won’t believe that I’m really gone…”
Charlie Wade nodded in understanding. “Please give me your mother’s contact information. I can ask her to come to Jinling, so you two can finally meet.”
Su Ruoli’s eyes widened in surprise. “Really? You would let me see my mother?!”
Charlie nodded. “Yes, but you need to keep your situation a secret. Only your mother can know the truth. You can’t reach out to her on your own.”
He continued, “If she finds out you’re alive and gets emotional, it could lead to problems. If others learn of your survival, it could reach the Japanese. They are determined to find you, and they might try to extradite you for trial.”
Su Ruoli understood Charlie’s caution and quickly asked, “What do you suggest we do?”
Charlie replied, “I will ask Lao Chen to invite your mother using the Ye family’s name, but I won’t tell her about you. When she arrives, I will take her to meet you. How does that sound?”
Su Ruoli’s eyes filled with tears. “As long as I can see my mother, I’ll be happy! If it’s too difficult, even a phone call would be enough…”
Charlie smiled. “It’s better for your mother to come to Jinling without knowing that you’re alive. This way, we can control the situation.”
Su Ruoli was excited as she listened to Charlie Wade. “Thank you so much for your help! I trust you to handle everything.”
Charlie turned to Chen Zekai and said, “Old Chen, make sure to get my mother’s contact information. Reach out to her as a representative of the Ye family. See if she’s interested in coming to talk. If she’s not keen on cooperating with me, let her know that the young master of the Ye family wants to discuss matters with her regarding the Su family.”
Chen Zekai nodded quickly. “Understood, Master. I will take care of this right away.”
