Chen Pingan just thought it was ridiculous.
"Just because you heard it, you came to me?
Have you found anyone else in the UK?
How many people have you looked for in the capital?"
Edwards smiled bitterly and said, “I’ve looked for many people, both domestically and internationally.
But no one was willing to help me.”
Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "I don't see your value. Maybe you are a business genius, but I won't be doing business in the future.
So you are of little value to me."
Edwards picked up the briefcase again and took out a document. Judging from its thickness, it was at least fifty or sixty pages long.
“This is a document I wrote recently.
You can take a look at it, or you can give it to Professor Huo whom you mentioned yesterday.
I'm not sure if you can see the value of this document, but I believe that professor certainly can.
My only request regarding this document is that you do not show it to a fourth person.
I believe this document will be of great value.
I also trust my own judgment.”
Chen Pingan took the document without comment. The cover was white paper without any words.
He started reading from the second page and soon he was absorbed in it.
Fifty or sixty pages of content look very professional when accompanied by data charts.
It took him nearly an hour just to read the document.
Edwards sat there silently, waiting patiently.
The small tea room was very quiet. Apart from the sound of shuffling papers, there was no sound at all.
After more than an hour, Chen Pingan put down the documents in his hand, stared into Edwards' eyes and asked:
"Did you write this independently or with someone else?"
"This document was written by my wife and I together. However, after she returned to the UK, I wrote the rest myself."
Chen Pingan thought about the content, then shook his head and said, "I would rather believe that you wrote it alone. You said this just to increase the value of your wife in my eyes.
There is one thing I don't understand about your wife.
Your uncle just wants all the assets left by your father. If you don't care and are willing to give them up, all your uncle needs to do is arrange for a lawyer to come over and you sign to give up all the assets, right?
Why go through so much trouble?
You don’t want to go back anyway, do you?”
Edwards shook his head again and said, “Even if I sign the document, my uncle won’t let me go.
So I just fought back because I had no other choice."
"It doesn't make sense. Your explanation doesn't make sense." Chen Pingan didn't quite believe it.
Edwards explained: “Maybe you don’t know much about gangs in the UK.
The Cooper family belonged to the dark forces from the earliest times.
In a very profitable business like an oil refinery, in addition to earning a portion for oneself, another portion must be paid to higher-ups and other parties in exchange for stable production conditions and market share.
Shell is our largest customer, but we have to give them at least one-third of our profits. You should understand what I mean.
When my father was still alive, my uncle was responsible for handling affairs on the dark side.
It can be said that my uncle is part of the gang himself.
There was no way he would let me go, so I had no other choice.
Either I watch my wife and children die, or I fight him."
Chen Pingan was speechless. After a while, he asked again, "Why me?"
Edwards smiled bitterly and said, "It's just luck. I've always been trying my luck in vain."
Chen Pingan pointed to the document on the table and said, "I'll take this document back and show it to Professor Huo, whom you mentioned. If she approves, I'll see how I can help you.
But if she doesn't agree, I will contact you within three days, or you can contact me on the third day starting from tomorrow.
I will return the documents to you intact."
