Chapter: 2902
Charlie Wade spoke up, “Just tell him you want to meet in person to discuss some important information.”
Mai Chengxing asked, “What kind of conditions should I mention?”
Charlie replied casually, “You mentioned it’s too easy for him to make money. You’ve been through a lot at your age and spent time in Jinling. It’s been much tougher for you, so you should ask for a share of his profits as compensation.”
Mai Chengxing nodded but looked worried. “Master Ye, you might not know Xuan Fengnian well. He’s very ruthless. Last time, when I met him at Phoenix Mountain Cemetery, he made it clear he wanted to harm me. If I try to negotiate with him and ask for a cut of his money, he might decide to hurt me instead…”
Charlie reassured him, “Don’t worry. I find your situation a bit shameful, but I won’t risk your life. If you help me bring out Xuan Fengnian, I’ll make sure you’re safe.”
Mai Chengxing still felt uneasy, but he realized he had no other options, so he agreed. “But Xuan Fengnian is naturally suspicious. Where do you want to meet him? If it’s too remote, he might not trust it…”
Charlie waved his hand dismissively. “Just invite him to Buckingham Palace. He knows you live there, so it’s the safest place for you to meet.”
Mai Chengxing hesitated. “Master Ye, Buckingham Palace is in the city and has a lot of people around. If something goes wrong with Xuan Fengnian, it could cause a huge scene and lead to unexpected problems…”
Wade snorted and said, “I asked you to invite him here directly to ease his doubts. But you have to realize that someone like him won’t agree to meet here.”
Charlie Wade continued, “He probably shares the same concerns you just mentioned. If he really wants to kill you, he wouldn’t dare do it at Buckingham Palace. I believe he will want to meet you elsewhere, where he feels safe and less suspicious.”
Mai Chengxing nodded and replied, “Master Ye, you’re right. I’ll call him!”
“No!” Charlie Wade said firmly. “He met you just last night, and you didn’t even see the hotel door today. If you tell him you have a clue, he won’t believe you.”
Mai Chengxing hesitated, asking, “But Xuan Fengnian might not know everything about me, right?”
Charlie Wade explained calmly, “You and Xuan Fengnian are not the same. You make money through craftsmanship, while he makes it by killing. It’s like comparing a cook to a killer; you’re completely different. He’s very careful and cautious, and he might be watching you without you knowing. A simple phone call could expose everything.”
Mai Chengxing quickly asked, “So what should I do, Master Ye?”
Charlie Wade replied, “Stick to your original plan. Go to Du’s old house, and then call him when you get back.”
Mai Chengxing nodded and turned to Mike, who was standing silently beside him. “Master Ye, please help my great-grandson recover. I will…”
“Go to Du’s old house with him,” Charlie Wade said casually. “Mike will stay here. My team will take care of him. If Xuan Fengnian asks about Mike, just tell him that Mike got scared at Phoenix Mountain last night and isn’t feeling well today, so he can’t come along. I’m sure Xuan Fengnian won’t question it.”
