Chapter 633: If you don’t leave, you will die; Wen Li and Lu Xixiao are across the street
There was a noise outside the box, and Langdon's bodyguard pushed the door open again. "Mr. Simon is outside. He wants to see you."
The father and son shifted their gaze away from the gun thrown by Lu Xixiao, and tension and uneasiness were visible on their faces.
Caesar asked, "Is it only Simon?"
Bodyguard: "Yes."
Caesar's tense nerves relaxed slightly. He moved the pistol to the corner of the table in front of him and covered it with a napkin.
Unable to evade the attack, Langdon said, "Let him in."
"My dear uncle, what big project is he discussing with someone that requires so many people to guard it?" Simon arrived before he even arrived, and appeared in front of the people in the box leisurely.
Langdon looked over with a forced smile on his face and asked, "Is this a coincidence, or are you here to see me, your uncle?"
Simon stood at the dining table with his hands in his trouser pockets, his long trouser legs slightly apart, and asked with a smile, "Uncle, do you hope that I came here by chance or on purpose?"
Langdon met Simon's gaze, his face calm and confident. He smiled and said, "Uncle, anything is fine."
Langdon's confidence made Simon laugh out loud. He pulled out a chair with a familiar air and sat down as he spoke, "Uncle's performance recently has been recognized by many senior executives in the company. As expected, with achievements comes confidence."
He searched the table for his favorite food, and unceremoniously brought the entire plate in front of him. As he was searching, he noticed someone sitting at the other end of the table. He seemed to have just noticed Lu Xixiao's presence, and his reaction was a bit exaggerated, and his enthusiasm couldn't be more fake: "Ah~ Mr. Lu is here too. I was so busy talking to my uncle that I didn't notice there was someone else."
Lu Xixiao asked expressionlessly, "Where's Hudson?"
Simon said as he ate, "My father will be here in a minute."
Caesar's inner tension suddenly intensified, his eyes uncontrollably looked at the covered pistol, and sweat covered his palms.
Although he hated Simon and saw him as a stumbling block, Caesar never considered killing him for the sake of his succession. He couldn't bring himself to kill Simon, nor did he have the courage to do so.
Simon immediately asked back, "Where's Miss Wen?"
Feeling the cold gaze from Lu Xixiao, Simon gave Lu Xixiao an apologetic but provocative smile: "I'm sorry for talking too much."
Langdon stood up. "I'm going to make a phone call."
Simon took a sip of the red wine the waiter had just poured, then kindly stopped Langdon and said lazily, "I don't think there's any need to waste this phone bill and saliva, uncle."
He seemed to be saying: There is no need to make meaningless struggles.
Langdon paused and looked at Simon's cold smile. He had a bad feeling in his heart. He ignored Simon and strode out of the box. The situation outside the box made him look serious. The entire corridor was full of Simon's men.
I guess it's the same situation downstairs.
What my subordinates reported earlier was not an exaggeration at all.
He and Lu Xixiao's men were blocked at the door of the box.
The three groups of people outside the door were on the verge of a fight.
Langdon was stopped by Simon's men when he walked out of the box.
Langdon's men tried to force their way through, but Langdon stopped them. He simply stood at the door to the box and, in front of three groups of bodyguards, pulled out his phone to verify his suspicions.
As expected, none of his trusted associates or subordinates could get through. Langdon's heart sank, and he could only send a few text messages before returning to the box.
"I told you there's no need to waste it," Simon scoffed. Langdon returned to his seat without a word.
Simon put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth gracefully. He raised his hand and the confidant following behind him put something in his hand.
Simon placed the item in front of Langdon and tapped it lightly with his fingertips. "Everyone has witnessed Uncle and Caesar's recent performance, especially Caesar. Father is very pleased with Caesar's progress. To better train and cultivate Caesar, Father has decided to transfer Caesar to the UK. I believe that under the management of Uncle and Caesar, our DuPont family's business in the UK will surely grow. Keep these plane tickets. After this meal, Uncle and Caesar will set off."
The father and son looked at the two plane tickets that Simon's fingers were holding.
This is to forcibly drive them to Britain.
Langdon sneered, "What if I refuse?"
Simon looked at Langdon with cold eyes and told them bluntly: "This is the only chance your father will give you."
If you don't leave, you will die.
Simon glanced at Caesar.
The latter's nerves were tense.
Caesar did not realize that the other path was a dead end.
Langdon saw murderous intent in Simon's eyes. Knowing his brother Hudson's methods and ruthlessness, and realizing that his brother might take their lives, Langdon felt panic in his heart.
Simon's expression relaxed, and he smiled and said to the father and son, "Don't worry, there's still time to think about it. This red wine foie gras is good."
Langdon calmed himself down and picked up his phone to start texting.
The dozen or so directors and senior executives who received Langdon's urging text message rushed here one after another without knowing the situation.
Simon is like here to eat.
Langdon held his cell phone and frantically looked for help.
Caesar fidgeted, checking his phone from time to time.
On the other side, Lu Xixiao sat relaxed, like an outsider throughout the whole process, his fingertips tapping lightly on the table from time to time.
The four of them were busy with their own things.
The atmosphere in the entire box was indescribably weird.
After more than ten minutes, Simon was full.
Lu Xixiao glanced at Simon who was wiping his mouth, took out his phone and sent a message asking where Wen Li was. Then he received a location sharing from Wen Li, which showed that the car was about ten minutes away by car.
Lu Xixiao continued to wait.
After having a full meal and drinking, Simon was in a good mood and took out his mobile phone to play a small game. The game sound played externally was very cheerful.
Calculating the time, Lu Xixiao sent a message to Wen Li again.
Across the street from them was another Western-style restaurant with retro decor. Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Xixiao saw a dark green curtain on the second floor of the restaurant opposite him being drawn open, and all the lights in the private room lit up. Having finished sending the message, Lu Xixiao subconsciously turned to look, then narrowed his eyes.
He saw Wen Li and Lu Jingyuan appear in the private room on the second floor of the western restaurant opposite, across the street from theirs.
Lu Qi also noticed the situation on the opposite side at the first time and immediately reminded Lu Xixiao: "It's Miss Wen and Young Master Jing Yuan."
What exactly does Hudson want to do with this arrangement?
Lu Qi's voice made Langdon and his son look at him. Following his and Lu Xixiao's gaze, Langdon and his son saw the scene opposite and saw Hudson gentlemanly inviting Wen Li to take a seat.
They actually kidnapped Wen Li and the child.
It seems that big brother is going to take a gamble tonight.
Langdon turned his gaze to stare at Lu Xixiao opposite him.
Simon, who was sitting opposite him, didn't react at all.
When Wen Li noticed them and looked over, Simon gave Wen Li a big smile, completely unable to help himself.
Lu Xixiao was just about to send a message to Wen Li to tell him that he was on the other side when Wen Li looked over.
