My Youth Began With Him

3986 Huo Mian"s Own Choice 6The whole city seemed to turn gloomy with Su Yu's disappearance.

C City had overcast skies for a few days but didn't have any snow; the gloomy weather made people restless all day long.

They shared the new developments about their search for Su Yu each day in the WeChat group.

Wei Liao and Tang Chuan put down almost all the business they were doing to search for Su Yu.

Gao Ran used all his resources in the municipal public security bureau, trying to find a clue.

Qin Chu even contacted Rick to use his resources outside China to find a clue.

"No, we haven't found anything yet. If we do, I'll tell you immediately… I know money is not a problem. I'll do my best. Don't worry; I know how important he is to you guys."

Rick talked to Qin Chu in fluent English.

Hanging up, Rick turned to look at Lu Yan.

"Were you talking to my brother-in-law?" Lu Yan chuckled.

"You know that? I hope you didn't bug my cell phone." Rick looked cold.

Lu Yan gave him a contemptuous look. "Please. I'm not that low. It's an easy guess. After all, you have only one friend and he's my brother-in-law."

Rick: "…"

Rick was embarrassed and knew Lu Yan was indeed as sharp-tongued as the rumors said.

"Let's get back to business."

Rick changed the subject; since he didn't think Su Yu had anything to do with Lu Yan, he didn't tell her about Su Yu's disappearance.

Lu Yan agreed to do the deal with him mostly as a favor to her brother-in-law.

Otherwise, she wouldn't want to see that jackass Caslias again even for one billion dollars.

"I heard the person Caslias fears the most is you." Rick looked at Lu Yan who was putting on lipstick with a small mirror.

"Yeah. Go on…"

"Caslias is in Columbia. Since the deal involves my business partner, I have no choice but to ask you to go there in person."

"No problem. Transfer the remaining money to my swiss bank account."

"I thought I'd transfer the money after it's done." Rick looked resigned.

"Are you kidding? I always take money before I begin missions… Seeing the money gives me the drive to do it, otherwise I'd never want to set my eyes on that perverse bastard again."

Finishing applying her make-up, Lu Yan put the Chanel lipstick back into her purse.

"The money is not a problem; I'll transfer it to your bank account now. When are you going to Columbia?"

Lu Yan glanced at her watch. "In half an hour in my private plane. But for the record, if I use some extreme method to kill him, don't blame me for the mess I leave to you."

"For example…?" Rick was uncertain.

"For example, when I blow up that psycho, I might blow up your business partner, too."

Rick: "…"

"I know you're a bomb genius, but can you not use bombs this time? I'm afraid you'd destroy my goods." Rick was at the end of his wits.

If he could find a way to move his goods back, he'd never want to deal with Lu Yan. She was… quite difficult to get along with.

Rick suddenly felt his wife Xixi was so gentle and thoughtful, a good example of Chinese women. If someone fell in love with Lu Yan, that guy would have his plate full.

"Are you cursing me silently?" As Rick remained silent, Lu Yan guessed he must be cursing her silently.

"Ahem… No."

"It's fine. I don't care. But if you badger me further and make me late for dinner, I might ask for 100 million US dollars more from you."

Rick: "…"

"I think you shouldn't be a mercenary; you should be a bandit," Rick made the comment quite objectively.
