Li Qianfan also felt that it was best to put an end to the negotiations.
Alexander and the others needed to confer, and why shouldn't he also have a good talk with the Dragon Ruins side?
The appearance of the Great Divine Lamp had completely disrupted the plan he had come with this time.
Therefore.
When Lin Yun'er personally took him out to eat something, Li Qianfan immediately stood up, bowed to the Great Divine Lamp and the others, and then turned and quickly walked out.
After they left—
Alexander looked at Moses III, whom he had deliberately left behind, and said kindly, "Third Generation, after this period of observation, what are your thoughts?"
He was taking this opportunity to test his only heir after a hundred years.
Moses III, who was naturally steady, considered for a moment before replying, "Grandfather, Mr. Divine Lamp, Patriarch and Madam. Through my observation, Li Qianfan is determined to take the lives of the eight members of the Rhode family. There is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter."
Alexander and the Great Divine Lamp exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
Green Rhode and Jessica also exchanged glances and sighed together.
"My suggestion is—"
Moses III mused, "The Rhode family should find, or manufacture, some wrongdoings committed by the Rhode family. Then, hold a press conference, announce their numerous crimes to the public, and expel them from the family."
Green Rhode was stunned.
Jessica's eyes lit up.
The Great Divine Lamp frowned (apprehensively).
Alexander, however, could not help but smile broadly, thinking to himself, "As expected of my only direct descendant. His reaction to this matter alone is superior to Jin Rhode's. And Jessica is much stronger than Jin Rhode. It seems I should favor Jessica over Jin Rhode in the future."
"As for Li Qianfan's demands on our Moses family."
Moses III smiled indifferently, but his tone was respectful, "Our Moses family's interests in the East should be defended inch by inch. Because the Dragon Ruins has always had a weakness there where they cannot intervene forcefully. Even if we only give him Hokkaido, or a certain city, it would be equivalent to the Dragon Ruins tearing open a hole in the East. With the Dragon Ruins' capabilities, they could establish a foothold there within ten years."
He was very correct.
Alexander mused and said slowly, "But Li Qianfan is clearly using this opportunity to target the Eastern market."
Moses III said, "Hand over the several dogs that the Moses family has cultivated in the East over the years for him to deal with! I believe that the people of the East, who hate 'Eastern traitors' more than their enemies, will eventually choose to find those dogs and give up on the East."
Alexander frowned.
He said, "The several dogs in the East were cultivated with considerable effort on our part."
"Respected Grandfather."
Moses III said, "If a dog is killed, it can be raised again. In any case, there has been no shortage of willing slaves in the East in the past hundred years. As long as we are willing to feed them bones, why should we be afraid of not being able to raise dogs? But once the Eastern market is lost, it will be very difficult to regain it."
Alexander remained silent, merely closing his eyes slightly, clasping his hands, and rubbing his thumbs back and forth.
In the guest room area of Moses Manor.
There were always beautiful maids ready to receive distinguished guests.
Seeing the Madam personally escorting a young man, several maids exchanged quick glances, secretly surprised.
A distinguished guest accompanied by the Madam personally must be no ordinary person.
They immediately led Li Qianfan to the best guest room.
Just as the Moses family's main hall was simple, the supreme guest room was extremely luxurious.
It was a kind of luxury that was quite low-key.
Even the placement of a water cup exuded a harmony unimaginable to ordinary people, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility.
"Qianfan, please sit."
After Lin Yun'er invited Li Qianfan to sit, she turned and instructed the maids to serve tea.
When the maids brought the best tea, they also brought a tea tray with considerable classical artistic beauty.
Lin Yun'er raised both hands, revealing her fair and supple arms, intending to personally brew tea for Li Qianfan.
Li Qianfan quickly bowed his thanks and asked the maid for the location of the restroom.
As he went to the restroom to get water, he thought that by the time he came out, Lin Yun'er would have almost finished brewing the tea, and after a few polite words, she would sensibly leave.
After all, Lin Yun'er was the matriarch of the Moses family, and her personally escorting him here and brewing tea for him was already quite a "gesture of respect."
However, to Li Qianfan's great confusion—
After he came out, he had already drunk a cup of tea, but Lin Yun'er showed no signs of leaving.
Instead, she waved her hand gently, dismissing the maids.
Li Qianfan immediately became vigilant.
This was because the desire in this woman's eyes was extremely intense!
Who was Lin Yun'er, and how old was she this year? Li Qianfan knew very well.
Setting aside the fact—
She was already over sixty years old, and just because she was "Uncle Shan's" wife, Li Qianfan wouldn't think too much of it.
Even when she casually crossed her legs, her legs under the black robe were so long and tender, Li Qianfan felt nothing.
He simply looked at her calmly.
Although 209 was not a good thing—
He only liked beauties who were worthy of their master!
For a woman like Lin Yun'er, 209 would only lie dormant, and the master would only observe what schemes she was up to.
"Qianfan."
Lin Yun'er poured Li Qianfan another cup of water, her captivating eyes like invisible brushes sweeping across Li Qianfan's face, ravenously swallowing her saliva: "When I first saw you at the door, my heart was in turmoil. Like a dog that had starved for a thousand years finally seeing a bone, I just wanted to tear you to pieces."
Li Qianfan smiled and said nothing.
This woman, who was at most 35 years old from a physics perspective, could frankly tell him that she desired him, which made Li Qianfan think more highly of her.
"I think you must carry something on you that makes me unable to control myself."
Lin Yun'er frowned and said, "Because I have been infected with 209, I have never met any man who could give me such a feeling. Even your father, the respected Dragon Lord, could not give me this feeling."
Li Qianfan picked up a cigarette.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, Lin Yun'er stood up and knelt beside his leg, taking out a lighter.
Her action appeared incredibly natural, as if she was meant to kneel before Li Qianfan.
*Click.*
Li Qianfan hesitated for a moment. As he leaned down towards the lighter, he caught the scent of the woman.
He exhaled a puff of smoke and blew it directly into her face.
She didn't care, her posture slowly becoming more alluring.
Li Qianfan remained silent, his demeanor as still as an ancient well.
He wanted to see what this woman was really up to.
It was not impossible that my Uncle Shan would use this extremely charming woman to gain benefits for the Moses family.
However, Li Qianfan felt that this possibility was very small.
After all, with Alexander's vision, he had long transcended ordinary thinking.
He would never stoop to using a honey trap on Li Qianfan.
"Qianfan—"
Lin Yun'er said alluringly, "The Moses family will absolutely not agree to let you take over the Eastern market. Forget the entire East, they probably won't even give you Hokkaido."
Li Qianfan finally spoke, "How do you know?"
"Before you came, Third Generation and I spoke privately."
Lin Yun'er said, "Third Generation's intention was to give you a few dogs lurking in the East to appease your anger at being harmed by the people of the War Demon God Hall."
Li Qianfan's eyes flashed, "What dogs?"
"Those dogs will use their positions to periodically report certain important intelligence from the East to the Moses family."
Lin Yun'er said, "To put it bluntly, they are spies."
Spies—
In the past forty years, the total number of "native spies" in the East, abbreviated as "Tu Jian," might have reached tens of thousands.
Their cover professions were diverse.
Some were engaged in scientific research, some taught at universities, some were in defense systems, and some even ran taxi companies.
Similarly.
The number of "foreign spies" in overseas locations from the East was also considerable.
Over the years.
The struggle between the East and the West in this regard had never ceased.
"Many of these native spies disguise themselves as scholars, experts, and professors."
Lin Yun'er bent down, scooped up Li Qianfan's left foot, and held it in her arms.
It was indeed remarkably elastic—
Li Qianfan did not refuse just because of this.
"Have you noticed that recently some people have put forward their own unique views on topics like New Year's Eve dinners, Qingming Festival, ancestor worship, and even fireworks?"
Lin Yun'er was inexplicably electrocuted, trembling violently, "Some people have even started pointing fingers at the Yanhuang totem."
Li Qianfan had already heard about these people she mentioned.
However, to many, these were just trivial disputes.
In reality, it was not the case!
These people with ulterior motives were gradually eroding the culture that the East had inherited for thousands of years.
Making the new generation increasingly accustomed to Western festivals.
"Most importantly, there are still many people who support them."
Lin Yun'er shifted, sitting on Li Qianfan's left foot. "But if the feeding stops and some of the things they have done in secret are exposed, your East will think of a Chinese idiom."
Deserving of death!
Looking at his left foot in Lin Yun'er's slender hands, Li Qianfan immediately thought of this idiom.
Forty minutes later.
Lin Yun'er, who had personally washed Mr. Qianfan's feet, entered the guest room carrying the basin.
She had also "gotten what she wanted," at the cost of betraying the Moses family's negotiation bottom line!
In her heart.
The interests of the Moses family were far less important than the moments when she could suddenly raise her head, roll her eyes, and tremble for a long time.
Li Qianfan, for his part, had paid the price of allowing her to wash his left foot clean.
After all, pies don't fall from the sky for no reason.
Of course, what Madam Moses desired was not just to wash his feet.
But Li Qianfan just looked at her coldly, and she knew what to do.
"This old woman's willingness to betray the negotiation bottom line is likely related to the male 209."
Li Qianfan muttered to himself, pulled out his phone, and called his father.
Half an hour later, Lin Yun'er knocked on the door.
Everyone had had enough rest.
Alexander had asked her to invite Li Qianfan.
Accompanied personally by the Madam, Li Qianfan went to the front.
As they rounded a corner, Lin Yun'er suddenly whispered, "Li Qianfan, you need to be careful of a woman by your side!"
