I was so stupid to have insulted them. Looking back now, I realize I was just being foolish.
"Now that things have come to this point, I blame nothing but myself for being too ignorant and unable to make good judgments back then. So I have no regrets about how things have turned out."
Xu Lei thought his words sounded nice, and even said he didn't regret it.
They're probably regretting it to the core now, but they still have to force themselves to say they don't care.
Gao Qiqiang was also a little worried about the situation inside and told Xiaoqiang not to go in and take a look, but Xiaoqiang waved his hand.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gao is a piece of cake for our boss to interrogate him."
"Old Pete is really ridiculous. He's about to die, and he still has to act like a hero."
"Wouldn't it be easier to end this sooner by admitting defeat sooner?"
"But he just had to believe that as long as he held onto this position, no one could do anything to him. It was ridiculous."
Xu Lei had just had a very relaxed chat with him, wanting the other party to understand that everything he did was out of respect for him, and that he was only able to have a proper conversation with him if the other party was not obedient.
Then naturally, there were even more restless ones waiting for him.
Old Pete's expression immediately changed; he knew this kid was no pushover.
Having mocked him so much before, he naturally wouldn't tolerate him anymore.
· ······Requesting flowers· ········
"What do you want to do? Do you want to kill me or just kill me outright?"
"Let me tell you, although you, Xu Lei, are a prominent figure and do have some leverage and connections, don't forget that I'm not someone to be trifled with either."
Xu Lei chuckled after the other person said that.
I never expected this guy to have the nerve to say such a thing, and even to explain his strange smell in such a place. It's really frustrating.
..... 0 0
"You'd better understand your place. Don't think that just because you have these things, everyone can really take you down. There's nothing we can do about you."
Xu Lei gave him a cold shoulder, wanting the other person to understand that the reason he was still willing to chat with him was because he felt there was still hope for him.
If he continues to put on airs and act all high and mighty, Xu Lei will absolutely not tolerate such a person; he's not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
Xu Lei took a deep breath.
Knowing that a tough battle was about to begin, he didn't bother with any further direct conflict with him.
Just warn the other party to be careful in everything, lest they end up shooting themselves in the foot, which would be disastrous.
"You're threatening me."
Chapter 495 Ungrateful Wolf
Old Pete's eyes revealed a hint of disbelief. He never imagined that at his age, he would be reprimanded by someone as old as Xu Lei.
He was even expected to be nice to him in the end, which made him feel utterly humiliated and somewhat incredulous.
Xu Lei simply shrugged, unfazed, letting him explain however he pleased.
Xu Lei would never have any further conflict with him over this matter.
"500" was just a warning to him not to try any more tricks on him.
"You deserved it for not getting that piece of land in Green Home. You should think about it carefully."
"Stop playing tricks on yourself..."
"It's your own fault for not getting that plot of land in Green Home. You should think about it carefully. You weren't willing to give this plot to you earlier, were you?"
After Xu Lei finished speaking, there was a hint of warning in his eyes, as if to make it clear to the other party.
Don't think you know nothing about what he did; you know it in great detail.
He simply didn't want to talk to him at this critical juncture, and his father saw that Xu Lei knew everything.
The other party didn't dare to say anything more.
Xu Lei understood from the beginning that the reason he dared to whisper and do these things with him was because...
He assumed I wouldn't take it myself; he probably thought we could have a calm and peaceful conversation.
But Xu Lei wasn't so good-natured; he simply rolled his eyes at the other person.
That rendered him speechless.
Xu Lei did all of these things out of his conscience; he wouldn't use this incident to show off or become a boss.
She wouldn't even use this as an excuse to make things difficult for others, but rather wanted him to understand that she didn't want to deal with him.
That way, the other party will back down.
Hong Xinxin was watching from outside, and Li Hongwei felt that she looked somewhat familiar.
Previously, during a mission at sea, Li Hongwei seemed to have seen him before and immediately recognized him.
The two exchanged a knowing glance, but said nothing more.
Xu Lei had already explained everything to Old Pete. He looked somewhat familiar; it seemed he had seen him before during a mission at sea.
Li Hongwei immediately recognized the mutual respect in their eyes, but didn't say anything more.
Xu Lei had already explained everything to Old Pete...
"Let's stick to the previous agreement."
“I will give you two percent of the profit for each shipment, which is quite a lot.”
"After all, this money was earned by you through thick and thin. It originally had nothing to do with you. The reason we are willing to give it to you now is because we care about you."
"So I don't want to make an enemy of you, but you'd better have some sense."
After Xu Lei said this, there was a hint of wariness in his eyes, as if he wanted the other party to understand what he had done today.
It's purely because of doing good deeds and accumulating merit, and definitely not because of fear...
He also made it clear to the other party that he had absolutely no choice in this matter.
Instead of constantly causing trouble here, it would be better to first take control of all the situations in 1.9.
Otherwise, whatever he says will only make him a laughing stock. Xu Lei's words have already revealed everything to the other party.
Xiao Qiang was very excited when Xu Lei came out and quickly went up to him to ask how things had gone.
"Boss, did he try anything funny? He seems pretty dishonest to me."
Chapter 496 The Best Ending
"If he dares to play any tricks, I'll be the first to not let him off the hook."
Xiao Qiang was already itching to fight, determined to go all the way with his opponent, but Xu Lei just shook his head slightly.
"It's alright, everything has been settled, and I doubt he'll cause any more trouble."
Upon hearing this, Gao Qiqiang instantly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been agonizing over this matter for the past few days, filled with worry and fear.
If this matter is not handled properly, it could cause trouble for yourself and others.
But now that things have turned out this way, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief and feel at ease.
"Why are you so worried about this particular matter? What? Don't you trust my abilities?"
Xu Lei smiled slightly, trying to ease the atmosphere a bit. After all, he felt that Gao Qiqiang had been on edge these past few days, and he felt tired just watching him.
Old Pete had no connections to begin with, and nothing to show for it.
Therefore, when it came to what Xu Lei said, he dared not make any mistakes.
Without even the slightest hesitation, he immediately accepted the matter.
For them, everything has been resolved quietly, which is the best possible outcome for both sides.
"That's really good, really great."
Gao Qiqiang felt that the matter could finally be settled, and he no longer had to hold his breath and wait for the verdict.
These past few days he's been staring blankly at the matter, afraid that something might go wrong and bring him some terrible disaster.
Now that the situation has been mostly resolved, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"I've been so anxious these past few days! It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous!"
Gao Qiqiang never expected that Xu Lei would be so loyal; he had only said a few words casually, but Xu Lei actually took them seriously.
Now it seems I must prove myself.
He was genuinely worried that Xu Lei shouldn't be the one charging ahead while he himself enjoyed the good life in the rear.
"Xu Lei really helped me a lot this time, and I must remember this kindness no matter what."
As Gao Qiqiang spoke, a hint of emotion crossed his eyes, because he understood.
If it weren't for Xu Lei's help this time, I'm afraid this matter would have been difficult to resolve in the future.
It's just that it seems a bit surprising now.
Although they had indeed made a lot of preparations beforehand.
In retrospect, it is indeed a bit surprising, even though they had made a lot of preparations beforehand.
But this very thing brought them many opportunities.
"I used to think that I could just do a lot of things casually, but now I understand a lot of things."
"This isn't something we can handle cleanly by ourselves. If it causes any more conflicts, we really can't afford to mess with it. 503"
They also felt extremely suppressed, after all, they were all inextricably linked to the situation.
No one wanted to use this matter to control their thoughts anymore.
I just hope to resolve this matter as cleanly as possible, so after thinking it over, I realize it's just a matter of mutual exploitation.
Old Pete really didn't know where he had gone wrong; he had clearly been very frank in everything he did.
Moreover, he felt that everything he did was aboveboard and he never intended to trip up others.
He was filled with regret at how he had ended up in such a state.
Chapter 497 Fierce
“Li Hongwei, Hong Xinxin, I have treated you well, why do you betray me again and again?”
After she finished speaking, her eyes still held a hint of confusion and helplessness, and she even felt abandoned here.
"I was speechless to see him like this. I originally wanted to have a good talk with him."
"But now, it's clear that old Pete is no longer able to calmly think things through with everyone."
"It's not as simple as he imagined to just tell them a lot of things; now, they can no longer hide here."
"We must not let other circumstances cause us to stay in the same place; that would be irresponsible for both of us."
"So after careful consideration, they each settled down and focused on their own affairs, hoping that everyone would maintain the proper decorum in this matter."
"Although I was down on my luck at the time, I knew who treated me the best. I always do things according to my conscience."
"I must not let your few words make me forget my true love."
"Moreover, although you have been kind to me over the years, ask yourself honestly."
"When will you ever truly consider me one of your own? You're always so arrogant towards me, and every mission you send me out is a life-or-death situation."
“I was never on the verge of death.”
As Li Hongwei spoke, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes as he pressed closer.
Xu Lei could clearly sense that Hong Xinxin seemed to fall into deep thought after hearing Li Hongwei's words, and he also thought of the scenes of the bloody battles on the battlefield.
Xu Lei could only sigh heavily and pat Old Pete's shoulder hard.
Xu Lei's hand on Old Pete's shoulder made him feel extremely devastated.
"You always think you're doing others a favor, and that if you pay them enough, they'll work for you."
"But little do they know that money can buy people, but it can't buy loyalty."
"You're so old, I thought you'd seen through these things long ago, but it seems you're still a bit behind now."
Xu Lei was smiling slightly and making sarcastic remarks. This was the best outcome for both of them, so they wouldn't have to do anything shameful here anymore.
