Chapter 894: Rescue

Fortunately, Peter was not too stupid. He did not know how Xiao Lingyu got the news, but someone must have informed her.

And the only people who could inform her were Bruce and the group of helpers in Bruce’s family.

Thinking of this, Peter was filled with anger.

It seemed that he had been played by Bruce.

But now was not the time to be angry. He took a deep breath and said with a smile, “Oh, so you are the famous female boss of the Green Fresh Group, Xiao Lingyu. I’ve heard plenty about you since the first day I came to China. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, you really live up to your name. You are really a beautiful lady. I am the President of Royal Forest’s China Branch, Peter. Nice to meet you!”

After saying that, he extended his right hand and waited for a handshake.

Xiao Lingyu didn’t reach for his hand. Instead, Gong Tianhao said coldly, “My wife doesn’t like to shake hands with strange men!”

Peter, “…”

For a moment, he felt embarrassed. There was faint anger on his face, but he had no choice but to endure it.

He retracted his hand and said with a slightly sarcastic expression, “Oh, is that so? It seems that a married woman in China really needs to keep a distance from other men.”

Anyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.

He was mocking Xiao Lingyu. Even if she was the big boss of the Green Fresh Enterprise, she was fearful of her husband.

Xiao Lingyu did not get angry when she heard this. She only smiled and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Peter. My husband is afraid of dirt on other men. I’m such a delicate person. I’m afraid of getting sick.”

When Peter heard this, his expression immediately turned ugly.

This was directly saying that he was dirty.

Peter said again, “President Xiao, why do you have to say such harsh words? In the future, we will be in the same industry. We might see each other again.”

“Mr. Peter, you were the one who started it. I was just retaliating!” Xiao Lingyu said calmly.

Mr. Peter did not expect that such a beautiful woman would have such a harsh tongue.

Xiao Lingyu did not care about his reaction. She immediately asked sharply, “Mr. Peter, may I know what is so important that you need to kidnap my subordinate from his home to come here in the middle of the night?”

Peter’s mouth twitched, and he said, “Bruce and I used to be colleagues and friends. I just invited an old friend over to reminisce about old times. Besides, I just came to China not long ago and am not familiar with China. I would like to ask my old friend Bruce for advice on many things. Is that wrong?”

Xiao Lingyu raised the corner of her mouth and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. “So, kidnapping someone is how you get your old friend to meet with you? Can’t you just invite Bruce normally? Or did Bruce not agree to meet you?”

Bruce immediately said, “I definitely didn’t agree to meet him.”

Peter’s mouth twitched again, and his sharp eyes shot at Bruce fiercely. His expression became ugly again.

Xiao Lingyu nodded and asked again, “So, Mr. Peter, what else do you have to say? According to the laws of China, this is a pure kidnapping. I can call the police now!” Xiao Lingyu’s expression immediately became serious.

Peter’s expression turned ugly as he said, “President Xiao, you’re being too serious. Although my way of inviting people was a little reckless, I didn’t mean any harm. We’re just old friends catching up.”

Xiao Lingyu continued, “Mr. Peter, I don’t care about your old relationship with Bruce. This is a country of law. I don’t care how powerful you are in your country, but you’re now at a place where the law shall be heeded.”

Peter’s expression twitched, and he held back the anger in his eyes. He took a deep breath and lowered his head to apologize, “Okay, I will pay more attention in the future!”

This woman was not scary, but what was scary was the man behind him, Gong Tianhao.

Gong Tianhao was a name that was well-known not only in China but also all over the world. He was an important figure that could not be ignored.

Although Peter had only been in China for a short while, he had already investigated deep into Green Fresh. It was why he hadn’t done anything, even though Green Fresh had stolen plenty of their business. He was afraid that he would accidentally anger this man.

Royal Forest group was an international brand in the industry. However, they were ranked in the top 100 to 500 internationally.

However, the company behind Gong Tianhao, the Imperial Palace Group, was one of the top five companies in the world.

With such a comparison, it was obvious who was stronger and who was weaker.

He had heard that Gong Tianhao was famous for loving his wife.

Peter had no confidence that he could take down Gong Tianhao, so he hadn’t made any move toward Green Fresh. Therefore, he knew when to wait and when to strike. This war was still long. And there was always a chance to recover his lost dignity.

Xiao Lingyu was a little dissatisfied with Peter’s apology. She said, “Mr. Peter, the person you should apologize to is not me, but Mr. Bruce!” She paused for a moment before continuing, “Mr. Bruce was to rest, but you suddenly tied him up and brought him here to reminisce about old times, scaring your old friend. Shouldn’t you compensate him for some mental damage?”

When Peter heard this, his expression twisted ferociously. The anger that he was suppressing in his heart wanted to burst out, but fortunately, his rationality was still there.

Peter immediately smiled and said to Bruce through gritted teeth, “Old friend, I’m sorry to have used such a method to invite you over. Regarding the shock you received, I’ll compensate you with 500,000 RMB. How about that?” He was really angry and aggrieved. He originally thought that he could bully Bruce once Bruce left Royal Forest. But Bruce’s luck was so good that he met another boss who was willing to stand up for him.

Bruce smiled and said, “Alright, for the sake of our boss, I’ll accept this 500,000 RMB as compensation. In the future, if you want to catch up, just give me a call to invite me directly. There’s no need to do something like this, right?”

Peter, “…” Have I not done that? You simply refused to accept my invitations.

Peter smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll definitely call to invite you next time! We had a good chat tonight, and I hope that it’ll be more enjoyable next time!”

This was a reminder for Bruce.

Bruce raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “Alright, I hope so!”
