Chapter 515: Gentlemen First, Villains Later

When Rosen said this, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were both stunned.

If someone else said this, they might not agree, but they have been dealing with Rosen for a long time and have great respect for his abilities, so they naturally trust his words.

"Boss Luo, what do you mean by that?" Wang Kaixuan frowned and said, "Could it be that the woman kidnapped us and sold us to Anxi?"

"Of course not. How much are you worth?" Rosen sneered and said, "What I mean is that this trip may not be so safe. It may be quite dangerous. I am afraid your life will be in danger."

"Not really?" Hu Bayi said half-doubtfully.

"Very serious." Rosen looked at Hu Bayi and said, "Although that woman has a Chinese face, I think she is American at heart. As long as you take her money, she will think you have agreed to work for her. Who knows how she will order you to work like a slave for her later."

"Boss Luo, what do you mean by that we should work like slaves for her?" Wang Kaixuan obviously didn't like what he said, and asked, "Do you have to go too?"

"I did go with you, but I didn't come here just for your sake. I didn't take a penny from her, and she can't order me around." Rosen smiled and said, "In other words, I have the right to part ways with her at any time."

"Then we can do it too." Wang Kaixuan said.

"Don't you want to make money from her anymore?" Rosen's words immediately left Wang Kaixuan speechless.

"Brother Luo, it shouldn't be as you said." Hu Bayi said, "We are joining an archaeological team, so Professor Chen and his friends' words are still useful."

"You'd better not mention Professor Chen." Rosen laughed and said, "Look at how old he is. How long can he live? I guess he just wants to go to Anxi while he still has breath."

"It's very likely that for him, as long as he can go to Anxi, he doesn't care about anything else."

Rosen said: "Besides, Shirley Yang is his current financial sponsor. How do you know they won't plot against us?"

"I don't think Shirley Yang is the person you said." Hu Bayi said.

"How do you know she's not?" Rosen glanced at him and said, "What's the matter? Are you attracted to her? So you think she's perfect in every way? Are you ready to change your position at any time?"

"I...I didn't." Hu Bayi quickly denied.

"You can like her, but you'd better not get carried away." Rosen pointed at Wang Kaixuan, then pointed at himself with his thumb, and said, "Even if you two end up in the same bed together in the future, don't forget that we are brothers who have been through life and death together. You'd better think it through before making any decision."

"Boss Luo, what you said is a bit too serious." Wang Kaixuan tried to smooth things over, "It's nothing. Besides, Lao Hu is not the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a woman, or even ignore the lives of his brothers."

"I hope so." Rosen said lightly.

In the next few days, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan began to wander around the capital buying various items needed for the expedition, just like they did last time when they went to Ganggangyingzi.

The difference from before is that now the two of them have no shortage of money. At the same time, they also know that Rosen has a magic trick of three immortals returning to the cave that can carry a large amount of supplies, so they began to buy crazily.

In addition to food, drinks and daily necessities, they also prepared a lot of things such as glutinous rice, black donkey hooves, and even gasoline.

The way they were buying things was seen by a few middle-aged women in the alley, who came over and asked mysteriously if the prices of non-staple food were going to go up again.

After everything was purchased, Chu Jian came on his bicycle to inform them to come over for a meeting to confirm the final departure time.

It’s still the same yard, the same house.

"Have you prepared everything you need?" Chen Jiuren asked Hu Bayi.

"All ready." Hu Bayi said, "As long as you set a time, we can set off at any time."

"Well, since everyone has no problem, then..." Chen Jiuren and Shirley Yang exchanged glances and were about to speak when they were interrupted by Rosen's words: "Who said there is no problem? I have something to say."

"What's the matter?" Shirley Yang asked Rosen with a bad look.

"Two things." Rosen looked at Chen Jiuren and said, "I don't care when you leave. I just want to know if you are going to Anxi to look for the Jingjue Ancient City this time?"

"Yes."

"Going straight to Anxi from the capital?" Rosen asked again.

"This..." Chen Jiuren hesitated.

"Yes." Shirley Yang stepped forward to answer, and then asked, "Any other questions?"

"Of course." Rosen nodded and said, "I heard that Americans like to sign contracts for everything they do, and they call it the spirit of contract. Because you are participating in this trip, I have also prepared a few contracts in order to keep up with international standards."

As he spoke, Rosen took out a few pieces of paper like a magician, handed them to Shirley Yang and said, "Take a look. If there is no problem, we will sign it. As the saying goes, gentlemen first and villains later. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Rosen, what do you mean?" Shirley Yang took a quick look and immediately became so angry that her face turned red.

"Isn't what I mean very clear?" Rosen flicked the contract in his hand and said, "They are hired by you to go to the Jingjue Ancient City in Anxi. They are not allowed to change their itinerary for any reason. The commission is 10,000 US dollars each. After they find the Jingjue Ancient City, they will be rewarded an additional 10,000 US dollars each."

As he spoke, he pointed to the next line of words and said, "If there is a breach of contract, you must compensate them twenty times the commission to compensate for their double loss of time and energy. In other words, you have to compensate them two hundred thousand US dollars each. Is there a problem?"

"Why can't we change the itinerary?" asked Shirley Yang.

"Nonsense." Rosen looked at her like she was a fool and said, "What did you say when you came last time? Professor Chen, what did you say?"

Professor Chen opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't dare to speak.

"Shirley Yang, although I have never been abroad in my life, I also know what you Americans mean by the spirit of contract."

Rosen said sarcastically, "You sometimes don't acknowledge what's written in black and white, let alone what you said verbally, so don't try to change your mind at the last minute with us."

Rosen pointed to the contract in his hand and said, "If you want us to go, then you sign the contract. If you don't want us to go, then we'll turn around and leave."

Shirley Yang's face turned pale with anger, but she couldn't even utter a harsh word.

Because they have been searching for so long, the most suitable team leader is really only Hu Bayi.

Now that they are about to set off, if Hu Bayi doesn't go, then their trip to the Jingjue Ancient City will be ruined.

Shirley Yang stared at Rosen, wishing she could tear him to pieces and feed him to the dogs. Suddenly, she thought of a question and said, "That's not right. Why did they sign the contract with me, but you were the one talking?"

"They entrusted me with full authority to handle this matter to avoid being cheated by you. Is there a problem?"

"No problem." Shirley Yang replied with gritted teeth, and then said: "I can't sign this contract."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan changed.

They were not stupid, and they realized that what Rosen's friend had said before had come true. There was really a trap here.
