Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 426

Jiang Yueli seemed not to care at all about being ordered around; he called the waiter and ordered more than a dozen dishes in one breath.

With a mix of meat and vegetables, sweet and sour, spicy and salty, cold and hot dishes, he even specifically requested a bottle of Huadiao wine which young people generally dislike, clearly a gourmet.

"Oh, sorry! I didn’t ask Mr. Xiao if he’s accustomed to drinking yellow wine before I made the decision," he said.

Xiao Ming was nonchalant: "It’s your treat, I’ll follow the host’s lead."

"Since it’s ’follow the host’s lead’," Jiang Yueli’s demeanor tightened, "then as the host, I’d like to ask Mr. Xiao a few questions first, if that’s alright?"

Xiao Ming pulled out a cigarette and lit it: "What if I say it’s not alright?"

"I would be very disappointed. And usually, when I’m disappointed, someone ends up dead."

"Oh? Mr. Jiang dares to kill me?"

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

The private room fell quiet, Xiao Ming and Jiang Yueli looked at each other, one relaxed in demeanor, the other with a warm smile, as if they weren’t the ones who were just discussing murder.

However, Jiang Nanxi next to them felt the atmosphere turn oppressive, the hair on her body standing on end, alarm bells ringing, fists clenched, ready to spring into action at any moment.

"Calm down."

As if ages had passed, yet in what seemed like just a moment, Xiao Ming spoke, and the air in the private room began to circulate again.

"Look at the person behind Mr. Jiang. As a master, it’s quite inappropriate to be so impatient," he remarked.

Jiang Nanxi let out a quiet breath of relief and awkwardly said, "I apologize, sir. I’ll be more cautious in the future."

"Hmm."

Xiao Ming crossed his legs and said to Jiang Yueli, "If I’m not mistaken, the people involved in the demise of our entire intelligence team embedded in Eastern Europe ten years ago have already been urgently dealt with, right?"

Jiang Yueli narrowed his eyes and said with a light smile, "Mr. Xiao really knows a lot. I’m quite glad that I still have enough curiosity, not to have ordered someone to kill you directly."

Xiao Ming shook his head: "Since you’ve already figured out that I understand a lot about you, stop wasting effort on little tricks.

You’re not killing me not because of curiosity, but because you dare not."

Jiang Yueli leaned back in his chair: "The leverage Mr. Xiao had is gone now. Why wouldn’t I dare?

Do you think just being a member of the Infinite Society is enough to hold the Jiang Family hostage? That’s a joke.

Mr. Xiao himself is part of the Infinite Society, so he should be well aware of the consequences if a member betrays another member."

"No, the status of an Infinite Society member isn’t important at all. What’s important is the code name ’Mr. Edward’."

Xiao Ming flicked the ash off his cigarette, "The destruction of that intelligence team not only set us back years in advanced fire control radar systems but also ruined an old man’s plan to seize the fruits of the Cold War.

That old man was furious, and he vowed not to rest in peace until he caught the leak and destroyed Kosoya Cubic Military Defense Company.

Nowadays, the old man’s body is still lying in a frost coffin, while his disciples have taken root in various intelligence agencies.

Mr. Jiang, do you think if I were to present evidence that the major shareholder of Cubic Company ’Mr. Edward’ is your grandfather to them, they wouldn’t tear the entire Jiang Family apart?"

Ever since Xiao Ming mentioned that old man, Jiang Yueli’s smile had become forced, and after finishing speaking, his expression was as gloomy as rain.

At this moment, the door was knocked upon, and the waiter entered, delivering the dishes he ordered like a flowing stream to the table.

Xiao Ming didn’t hold back and started eating with his chopsticks.

Seeing this, Jiang Nanxi opened the bottle of wine and poured a cup for him.

"What does Mr. Xiao want?" Jiang Yueli asked.

"Save it!" Xiao Ming continued eating without pause, "You’re not here to negotiate. Show whatever you’ve got so we can get this over with and move on to the real issues.

I purposely didn’t discuss this over the phone with Old Mr. Jiang, not to watch you put on airs."

Jiang Yueli’s eyebrows raised: "You want to meet with me?"

"Among all the people in the Jiang Family who can make decisions, besides you and your grandchild, who else is qualified to know about Kosoya Cubic and still understand the significance of the code name ’Mr. Edward’?"

Jiang Yueli’s expression grew serious as he took a bite of the Squirrel Mandarin Fish, "Please let me know if there’s anything I can assist with, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Ming slurped a mouthful of wine, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and said, "I don’t like chatting with people who want to kill me.

If Mr. Jiang really can’t humble himself, then you can take action now or simply leave.

Don’t forget to pay the bill."

Jiang Yueli squinted his eyes and suddenly made a shocking statement: "There’s poison in the wine."

Jiang Nanxi stood up in alarm: "Sir, this... this can’t be! He hasn’t touched the wine bottle at all, I..."

"He doesn’t need to touch the bottle. Just prepare a poisoned bottle in advance and become the host. However..."

Xiao Ming looked at Jiang Yueli and asked, "There are Sichuan, Cantonese, Shandong, and Western restaurants in this hotel. How did Mr. Jiang guess that I would choose Huaiyang Cuisine Restaurant?

Compared to the other major cuisines, yellow wine Huadiao is too conspicuous, obviously inappropriate."

"Damn it! Hand over the antidote!"

Before Jiang Yueli could speak, Jiang Nanxi became a blur, rushing forward rapidly.
