1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

As Lu Chen's steady and powerful response slowly fell, Shan Zhonger's tense shoulders finally relaxed as if relieved of a heavy burden. His originally tense face now smiled like the rising sun in spring, warm and bright, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes slightly lifted because of this smile. He took a deep breath, and the air seemed to be filled with a sense of relaxation. His voice was trembling slightly, and he said to Lu Chen: "Sir Lu Chen, your help is really like timely help, which gives me hope in this difficult situation."

Lu Chen waved his hand gently, as if to dispel Shanzhong Erbi's excessive politeness. His eyes were calm and deep, like a deep lake, without any ripples. His voice was low and firm, and every word seemed to carry a heavy weight: "Mr. Shanzhong, there is no need to be polite, it's just a small favor."

Seeing that the conversation was coming to an end, Shanzhong Erbi slowly stood up and prepared to leave. There was a hint of urgency in his movements, as if something important was urging him. He straightened his slightly messy collar and glanced around the room, as if looking for something he had missed. Then, he turned to Lu Chen, bowed slightly, and said, "Mr. Lu Chen, since the matter is over, I will take my leave. If you need me in the future, I will do my best."

Seeing this, Lu Chen spoke up hastily, with a barely perceptible urgency in his voice: "Mr. Shanzhong, wait a moment." He frowned slightly, as if thinking about something important. Then, he slowly took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Shanzhong Erbi, "I have an important message here that you need to bring back in person. This is related to a possible storm, and also to our common interests."

Shan Zhong Er Bi stopped, raised his eyebrows, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He took the document, and gently stroked the texture of the paper with his fingers, feeling the delicate touch. He looked up at Lu Chen, with a questioning look in his eyes: "What news? So important?"

Lu Chen's voice was low and mysterious, as if he was telling a secret: "A few days ago, I overheard at a banquet that a company was planning to ship tens of thousands of rifles to China. The lights at the banquet were dim and blurry, and people were talking one after another, but I caught this information clearly. I wanted to verify the news first and then tell you. Since you are in the United States now, Mr. Yamanaka, this task will be handed over to you."

As he spoke, a sly light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, fleeting but unforgettable. He had already made up his mind, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile. He knew that instead of letting his own people take risks, it would be better to let Shanzhong Erbi's people rob the goods. This would not only cause Otto Company to suffer heavy losses, but also allow Shanzhong Erbi to offend Fernande inadvertently, killing two birds with one stone.

"Is the news you mentioned... true?" Shan Zhongerbi's voice was filled with disbelief. His eyes wandered over Lu Chen's face, trying to find the answer from the subtle changes in his expression. He didn't expect that this visit to Lu Chen would yield such an unexpected gain. If the news was true, then if he could intercept this batch of goods, he would undoubtedly have made a great contribution.

Lu Chen shrugged lightly, spread his hands, and looked innocent: "Didn't I just say that I only heard this news. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know. You need to verify it yourself, Mr. Yamanaka. Of course, if you, Mr. Yamanaka, confirm the truth of this news, then the credit..." He deliberately dragged out the last word, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, bringing the fragrance of flowers and plants in the garden in the distance. Shanzhong Erbi took a deep breath, and the fresh air seemed to wash away the doubts in his heart. He lowered his head and examined the documents in his hand again. The rustling sound of the paper was particularly clear in the silence. He raised his head, his eyes firm and deep: "Okay, I will check it out. If this news is true, then I will definitely get this batch of goods."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's mouth curled up into a satisfied smile. He knew that his plan was already half successful. And the next thing was just to wait and see, and wait for the decisive moment to come.
