A few people ate and drank, and chatted about all sorts of things.
Gu Junlin suddenly said, "The Xia Si family has been in a lot of turmoil recently. I heard that the new leader of the Xia Si family is ruthless and has pushed down many of the old people who helped the Xia Si family build their empire. He even offered a bonus to the underworld and even bought the life of the leader of the Xia Si family with 100 million!"
Wen Xinya's chopsticks fell from her hand, and the ivory chopsticks made a crisp sound on the glass table. Zhou Tianyu quickly handed her a pair of spare chopsticks on the table: "What's wrong? Are you so distracted while eating?"
"I'm fine!" Wen Xinya shook her head, but she couldn't control her pale face and panicky heartbeat.
The light in the private room was a little dim, and Zhou Tianyu didn't notice anything unusual about her.
Wen Xinya opened her mouth to ask Gu Junlin about the Xia Si family, but Ling Qingxuan sneered, "In both the black and white worlds, who doesn't give the Xia Si family's leader some face? Those old guys think they can buy the life of the Xia Si family's leader by offering a reward. There is a way of life. Even if you have money, you have to have a life to spend it. Who would be willing to do such a deal!"
Gu Junlin nodded and said, "That's right. The reward has been posted for a month and it's still hanging high at the top of the reward list on the street."
Wen Xinya suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing at herself for being too concerned. Si Yiyan was not only the person in charge of Xia Si Group, but also had another identity as Lucifer's Rex. How could he take a few old guys seriously? They were nothing more than clowns.
Wen Xinya held the wine glass and asked Gu Junlin casually: "How much do you know about Xia Si's?"
Gu Junlin was not surprised that Wen Xinya was curious about the person in charge of the Xia Si family. After all, that was the world's top chaebol, and it could influence the global economy just by stomping its feet. "I heard that the predecessor of the Xia Si family had a black background. The first person in charge imitated Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty and dispersed the power in his hands to the brothers who followed him to conquer the country, resulting in the complicated power background of the Xia Si family. The second person in charge whitewashed the power and founded the Xia Si family, but the Xia Si family still couldn't get rid of the shackles of the complicated power. The current person in charge is the third person in charge of the Xia Si family. I heard that he is less than 25 years old."
Wen Xinya was very surprised. She had never thought that Gu Junlin knew more about Xia Si's affairs than she did. "So what do you think of the person who is in charge of Xia Si's current term?"
Gu Junlin frowned slightly and said, "He is very strong, treacherous and cruel. The second head of the Xia Si family has long realized that those intertwined forces will make the Xia Si family repeat the same mistakes, so he has been working to rectify those forces, taking a gradual approach." Gu Junlin took a sip of wine and continued, "But the current head of the Xia Si family is more decisive in killing people. Logically speaking, he should give face to the Buddha, after all, he is the founder of the Xia Si family, but he doesn't care at all."
Wen Xinya naturally knew that her mother died at the hands of those people, and her father also died indirectly because of them. The hatred between her parents was irreconcilable, so he would naturally not be soft-hearted to those people. Besides... he has never been a soft-hearted person. After three years of oppression from Country E, his heart has been hardened and harder than a rock.
Gu Junlin continued, "He is also a person with no limits. He will use threats, inducements, intimidation, and calculations to achieve his goal."
"So many people must hate him to death." Wen Xinya didn't expect the outside world's opinion of Si Yiyan to be so derogatory, and couldn't help but ask.
Gu Junlin shook his head and said, "When a person is so powerful that he is as ethereal as the gods in the sky, and we cannot even look up to him, then all hatred is meaningless. He should be such a person. Moreover, I heard that he has obtained the "Code of Silence" from several countries. Any illegal acts related to him, including death and injury, will not be recorded, let alone brought to trial."
Wen Xinya took a breath of cold air. It seemed that she knew too little about Si Yiyan.
Zhou Tianyu found it incredible: "Then he is lawless!"
Even Xu Tongxuan opened her mouth, unable to speak: "There are actually people like this in this world! It's so terrible that even the law can't control them."
Han Mofeng and Ling Qingxuan were also shocked.
Gu Junlin shook his head and said, "This kind of rule is not something that can be obtained casually. He also has his own set of principles for dealing with things. He has great power, but he never takes the initiative to provoke a war, but he can always easily reap the benefits."
Wen Xinya took a deep breath and said, "You said he is not very old, how did he do all this?"
Gu Junlin shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. The violent and bloody East is in awe and compromise with him."
Those small countries in the east have always advocated strength. Si Yiyan is Lucifer's leader, and the military supplies that Lucifer controls are what those people dream of.
As Gu Junlin spoke, he seemed to have developed an immense interest in this person, and could not help but continue, "And he is very keen on charity. For the small countries in the central region that are rich in resources, he is a savior. You should know that the resource plundering war has implicated many small countries in the central region, and they have experienced the pain and despair of the war, but he has been supporting those poor people for many years. As a result, Xia Si's company has considerable oil resources in the central region, and the governments of many countries want to cooperate with Xia Si's company and reach an oil partnership agreement."
"He is very far-sighted!" Wen Xinya suddenly couldn't help laughing. At this moment... she really couldn't tell whether Si Yiyan was really doing charity or just wanted to get more benefits through charity.
Gu Junlin sighed, "This is the terrifying thing about this man. He doesn't care about money. He can spend all his money. He also has power, which is easy to obtain. He seems to have no weaknesses, so anyone who cooperates with him will always be led by him by the nose."
"What a wonderful character." Wen Xinya couldn't help but sigh, but in her heart she was thinking, if all the people who respect and admire him knew that Si Yiyan was actually a self-proclaimed playboy, she wondered if they would feel disillusioned!
But she felt... it was more likely that she didn't believe it!
"Hey! Drink, drink. It's a rare occasion for us to get together, but you just talk about irrelevant people and things!" Han Mofeng filled their glasses one by one. For a man who aspires to be an outstanding political commissar, he is really not interested in business matters.
Zhou Tianyu also agreed: "That kind of person is too far away from our lives, so let's not talk about it!"
Warm and elegant but smiling without saying a word.
