CHAPTER 1539: CHAPTER 1591: REUNION WITH ANGELINA

Although it’s not tomorrow yet, it seems like the hope is really dim. Wu Shuwei felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart, and earlier, she had tried to approach a few officials from the Dubai side, but after learning who she was, they pretty much ignored her. This made Wu Shuwei feel like she was stuck in a frustrating situation.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Li Yifei glanced at Wu Shuwei beside him, grinned, and said lightly, "Don’t let these people affect your mood. The Japanese have always been arrogant. Let them enjoy their moment now, and tomorrow let’s watch them get embarrassed."

"But..." Wu Shuwei looked at Li Yifei, her mouth moved but she didn’t speak out.

Li Yifei took two glasses of red wine from the tray of a passing servant, said thank you in Arabic, handed one to Wu Shuwei, clinked glasses, took a sip, and said, "There’s always a way."

Wu Shuwei frowned, staring at Li Yifei. Suddenly, she thought of something, hurriedly pulled Li Yifei, and whispered urgently, "Don’t try anything reckless. Even though those people are awful, you absolutely cannot cause any deaths!"

Li Yifei glanced sideways at Wu Shuwei and shook his head a few times, thinking to himself, you don’t want to harm them, but they never cared about you. Those Anchor Organization people were hired by these Japanese. Moreover, I just saw the Japanese guy on the plane with the lively Prince Sashar, and he’s here too.

Seeing that Japanese confirmed to Li Yifei that the kidnapping was indeed orchestrated by the Japanese side.

The person being on the plane wasn’t strange initially, as the plane departed from Japan. However, the email connected to the kidnapping had been hacked by Li Yifei’s contacts, confirming the identity of the other party. Although they hadn’t investigated further, both parties appearing at Prince Sashar’s banquet certainly suggested a connection.

Seeing that Wu Shuwei was still unaware, Li Yifei didn’t plan to tell her.

Taking a sip of red wine, Li Yifei said, "Why would I just go kill someone for no reason? You didn’t even hire me!"

"Huh?" Wu Shuwei’s eyes widened, responding, "So if I hire you, you’d kill them? No, that won’t do. Even if you killed them, it wouldn’t have much impact on tomorrow’s contract signing, at most, it would be delayed a few days. If we can’t find a solution, the contract will end up with the Japanese company."

"You actually know this?" Li Yifei pretended to be surprised, looking at Wu Shuwei.

Wu Shuwei then realized she’d been fooled by Li Yifei. She angrily punched Li Yifei, unsure of what to say.

Li Yifei was just about to take Wu Shuwei to a quieter place when suddenly, a woman squeezed out from the crowd. The woman looked excited, finally squeezed through, ran to Li Yifei, confirmed it was indeed Li Yifei, and, filled with excitement, opened her arms to hug him.

Li Yifei had no particular reaction, but Wu Shuwei beside him was startled and instinctively wanted to pull the European-looking woman away, only to hear the woman shout, "It’s you, dear God, it really is you!"

Hmm? Are they acquaintances? Wu Shuwei halted her hand midway.

This woman, Li Yifei did know, but not really well - at most from that day when he retaliated against the Anchor Organization, and incidentally, saved her – she was that senior executive from Oak Company, Angelina.

Seeing Li Yifei, Angelina was very excited. After hugging him for a while, Angelina released Li Yifei, took a step back, looked at Li Yifei with a face full of excitement, and said, "I’m sorry, I’m just so thrilled to see you. Are... are you okay?"

Li Yifei smiled and said, "I’m good, how about you?"

Angelina nodded repeatedly, speaking rapidly, "Me? I’m very good. About what happened that day, thank you. I have been looking for you since, but... I didn’t have a great way to find you. Today is indeed my lucky day, getting to see you again."

Wu Shuwei was thoroughly confused. Li Yifei’s reaction was calm, but the other party obviously seemed ready to devour Li Yifei with her enthusiasm.

Glancing at Wu Shuwei and noticing that she didn’t understand, Li Yifei pointed to one side and said, "There are too many people here, let’s talk over there."

"Oh, oh, okay, I’m sorry, I was rash." Angelina only then noticed Wu Shuwei, apologized to her, and explained, "Your husband once saved me, and I’ve always wanted to thank him, but I hadn’t been able to find him these days. Seeing him today, I became overwhelmed with excitement. Please forgive me."

Hearing this, Wu Shuwei smiled gently, proactively reached out, shook hands with Angelina, and said, "It’s okay, since we’re friends, let’s go over there and chat."

She neither clarified that she and Li Yifei weren’t spouses, nor was she overly enthusiastic, or rather, Wu Shuwei didn’t plan to explain such a misunderstanding. Don’t ask her why she didn’t explain; Wu Shuwei herself wasn’t sure. Facing a sudden appearance of a European woman, she simply didn’t want to explain.

Li Yifei glanced at Wu Shuwei, took the lead, and walked over.

The two women followed, walking side by side. It was a bit quieter there. After sitting down, Angelina praised Wu Shuwei, saying, "Ma’am, you are truly beautiful, the most beautiful Eastern woman I have ever seen."

Wu Shuwei modestly nodded and said, "Thank you, you are very beautiful too."

"Please forgive my excitement. I met your husband only once, but he saved me..."

Those who could appear at such a banquet wouldn’t be ordinary people, so Wu Shuwei began curious about the woman’s identity. She just found the woman somewhat familiar. After a while, her eyes lit up, thinking of someone, and asked, "May I ask your name, if that’s not too forward..."

"Angelina, Jian, Angelina. But, I also feel you look familiar, not knowing where we’ve met."

Now I remember, no wonder she seemed familiar, Wu Shuwei said, "You’re a senior manager at Oak Petroleum Company?"

"That’s me... and you are?"

"Hello, I’m a representative from Huaxia. We met at the bidding conference."

Wu Shuwei also understood how Li Yifei had saved Angelina. In fact, the two women were rescued by Li Yifei on the same day; it’s just that Angelina escaped alone with Brooks, while Wu Shuwei was escorted to safety by Li Yifei.

After Angelina expressed her gratitude, the topic returned to the project. She shook her head and said, "The Japanese side is indeed the final winner. The Oak Company I represent has decided to withdraw from this competition."

"We haven’t given up yet," Wu Shuwei said.

"If there’s anything I can help with, don’t hesitate. We are friends, and your husband is my savior."

Wu Shuwei shook her head and said, "Now... there’s no good way. We came tonight just to see if there are any options."

Angelina sighed and said, "Actually, your company is the most suitable for this, but the Japanese side has very good relations with certain high-ranking officials, so it’s really difficult this time."

"Where’s Brooks?" Li Yifei suddenly asked.

"Him? We came together, but after coming in, we separated. Until now, I haven’t seen him."

Li Yifei was about to speak when he saw several security guards coming over, followed by a Japanese person, it was Honda Takeshi who rushed over to their table, turned back and said to the security guards, "These two people, they don’t have an invitation, they sneaked in, now throw them out!"

Wu Shuwei tensed up and was about to stand up to explain, but her shoulder was pressed down by Li Yifei. He calmly looked at Honda Takeshi and said, "You’re really like a dog, aren’t you tired of bothering people?"

"I am the second young master of the Honda Financial Group, not a dog, Huaxia person, you’ve insulted me multiple times, I swear I won’t let you go, guards, arrest him for me. I now suspect he is a terrorist, intending to commit murder by sneaking in," Honda Takeshi said, his face darkened, thoroughly provoked by Li Yifei.

Just now he was taken away by Tonohei, feeling unsatisfied, he went to check the invitations, found no invitation for Huaxia people, so he immediately took note and came over, directly.

"Sir, do you have an invitation?" a security guard walked over and asked, all of them were armed, ensuring the safety of the wealthy and officials inside, and these security guards were not familiar with Li Yifei, who would not have been allowed this reaction had they recognized him.

Angelina grew anxious. She never expected her saviors to have sneaked in without an invitation. Hearing Honda Takeshi’s shout, she immediately stood up and said, "These two are my friends, we came in together. What right do you have to drive them out?"

Honda Takeshi glared at Angelina fiercely, responded, "Who do you think you are?"

Angelina, undaunted, replied, "I am Angelina, the manager of Oak Petroleum Company’s Dubai office. I have an official invitation; it clearly states no limit on the number of guests, and counting these two, we’re only four. Is that not allowed?"

Honda Takeshi shot a glare at Angelina and said, "Don’t listen to their nonsense, arrest them quickly. As long as they’re here, I fear for my safety every second."

Honda Takeshi was dying to snatch a gun now and break Li Yifei’s legs to avenge the previous insult.
