"I don't have that power."
Approaching towards Xi Shui, Envy tapped her finger on the folder containing the evidence of infedility and commented "Sure you can, and here's your reason."
"..." Looking at the folder, Xi Shui was silent for a few seconds and commented "The Long family is not easy to intimidate."
"And if I give this to you?" Taking out another folder among her clothes, Envy tossed it on the table and asked with a smile.
Raising her eyebrows with interest, Xi Shui opened the folder and was surprised by the large number of pages, but knowing that he must not waste time, he quickly read through it.
But unlike the other two folders, this one made him frown deeply as solemnity appeared on her face for the first time.
"Can I trust this?"
"I'll bet my head on the truthfulness."
"If this is real we can negotiate."
"Then confirm it, I have time" Taking the bottle of Whiskey, Envy walked to the sofa and sat down quietly.
"..." Staring at the folder silently for a few seconds, Xi Shui stood up and walked out of the office while commenting "I'll be right back."
"Take your time."
Looking at the woman's back, Envy smiled from the corner of her lips and took a small swig of Whiskey.
"This tastes good."
The reason for so much seriousness about this folder is something Envy collected personally and it certainly deserves all the seriousness.
After all it has all the information on the Long family.
Hidden forces, embezzlement, hidden companies, even money in tax havens.
Literally every little step the Long family took is written in that binder.
While getting information from a group like the Hidden Union is difficult, for a family as wealthy and technologically savvy as the Long family, getting information is incredibly easy.
Even more so with their young offspring who don't stop bragging at every turn, all in front of cell phones and cameras.
But even if the information is totally accurate, what really interested Xi Shui is the information about Long family spies in all the other families.
Spies who have committed multiple sabotages and several assassinations.
Although to be honest, Envy knows perfectly well that this is completely common among these big families.
The number of cases of betrayal among themselves exceeded thousands and Envy knows perfectly well that these people always target each other.
Spies are everywhere and the assassinations never stop.
But the difference is that right now Xi Shui has the necessary evidence to recriminate this publicly, regardless of whether she does the same in secret.
And while this information is not enough to destroy the Long family, it will certainly serve to take a big bite out of them and keep them suppressed for years, something Xi Shui can't pass up.
Now you may ask, what happens if he takes the information and betrays Envy?
The answer is simple, it is impossible, because although Envy delivered the folder with the information, they need concrete evidence such as images, emails or own confirmations by family members, something that only Envy has for now.
After a few minutes drinking in silence, Envy finally looked up and smiled slightly "Confirmed?"
"All set" Nodding with a small smile on her face, Xi Shui walked over to her desk and sat down, then took a swig of Rum and tossed a folder towards Envy.
"What is this?"
"The Grey conglomerate has been trying to enter China for a while now, but I personally took it upon myself not to let them in" Smiling slightly, Xi Shui continued "I'll give you what you asked for, the head of the culprit will be delivered to your boss in a couple of days and as a thank you gift for that intimate folder you gave me, I'll let the conglomerate enter China. The conditions of your expansion are in that folder and if you break it at any time, we will swallow all your assets here. Oh, yes, tell your boss I don't want him talking about China, it makes me nauseous to hear it."
"How generous" Raising her eyebrows, Envy looked at the folder calmly and thought 'She obviously doesn't want all this to come out...she'd lose face as president if everyone found out her husband and son were sleeping together with a stranger.'
Looking up at Xi Shui, Envy stood up and stretched out her hand "It was nice making deals with you."
"Not so much for me, don't come again" Shaking hands with a smile, Xi Shui replied.
"Heh" Snorting, Envy walked towards the exit and commented "Would you be interested in trading in the future?"
"Do you have something that might interest me as president or just Xi Shui?"
"Depends on your tastes" Opening the door, Envy continued "I'll see you in the future."
"See you next time" Waving her hand lazily, Envy closed the door and calmly walked out of the place, as if she hadn't fooled one of the most powerful people in the world today "I'll send the exact proof as soon as I leave this place"
But who could have thought it?
Envy had the guts to forge the papers confirming that they had nuclear missiles.
She simply played with Xi Shui's mind by first bombing all of BlackWater and making them believe that they really have such firepower.
A simple but great trick, show them a dragon tail to make them believe that you are a real dragon.
Instantly losing her smile, Xi Shui opened the folder where her husband was and gently patted the table with her fingertips "What to do with you? Should I sell them? No... that would make me lose face... oh, I know, I'll go blackmail the Li family."
Who doesn't know that the marriages of the Chinese high ranks are always between their families?
Nothing more common in China than political marriages.
Hell, even the poor do it!
"But this Christian Grey..." Frowning slightly as she mutters, Xi Shui continued "He's dangerous... I certainly wouldn't have negotiated if it weren't for the fact that I know he'll die in a few months... naive bastard"
***
Another 5 days passed quickly.
The town where Christian was staying was still under complete detention while the police and the army itself investigated every suspicious area in the area.
But the most troubling thing that actually led to Christian having to get up from his bed rest, is a rare visitor that actually came prepared for him.
"So you want our boss who has a fever and a medical license to back him up to get out of bed for an interrogation?" taking a paper in her hands, Natasha looked at the woman in front of her and asked with a frown.
"Don't you see that paper in your hands?" Showing her white teeth with her big smile, Delu Achebe, the world's greatest private investigator, replied.
"..." Looking at the paper for a few seconds, Natasha commented "May I know why you are qualified as a suspect?"
"We have 5 witnesses who under military protection stated that Christian Grey is the cause of the terrorist attack that was suffered in this beautiful country" With a smirk, Delu commented.
"May I know what proof you have? We have that right" With a deadpan face, Natasha asked.
"In fact it clearly says so on the court permit" Pointing to the bottom of the paper, Delu replied.
Lowering her gaze, Natasha frowned and read aloud "It was testified that Christian Grey was completely injured and currently his whole body must be injured with multiple cuts with bladed weapons..."
"Do you understand why we came here?" looking sideways with interest, Delu continued "In fact I wouldn't even have to ask your permission, we have the order to enter directly and confirm if what is said here is real."
"Do you know that if this is false we will file a lawsuit against you and this country?" Frowning deeply, Natasha asked.
"We will take the risk."
"..." Looking at the woman's big smile and the large number of soldiers and policemen following her, Natasha nodded and turned around "Follow me."
Raising her eyebrows at such assurance, Delu rubbed her chin for a few seconds and shrugged, then followed Natasha silently as the whole group followed her.
Arriving in front of the hotel dining room, Natasha opened the door and walked in, then walked to the head table and stood in front of the young man who was eating quietly while watching videos on his cell phone.
"Boss, we have guests."
Looking up, Christian observes Delu's face and smiles kindly "My dear guest, so many moons without seeing us."
"It seems that no matter where you go, you are always safe, no?" easily noticing all the staff's gazes on her, Delu chuckled and looked around the dining room "Tsk, tsk, even a hotel is easy for you to buy."
"It is not for nothing that I started working at the age of 9" Nodding calmly, Christian wiped his mouth and rested his chin on his hand "May I know what brings you to my humble home?"
"I have some business to settle with you Mr Lucifer" Smiling brightly, Delu replied.
"And that warrants bringing so many staff?" Raising his eyes to look at the military's war armament, Christian casually asked.
"The truth is we have two matters to settle" Turning to the police, Delu commented "Start searching everything, don't overlook anything. Rooms, bathrooms, furniture, everything."
"Affirmative!"
Raising his eyebrows as about thirty police officers scattered around the place and started tearing everything apart in search of something, Christian looked towards Wrath in the distance and waved his hand to keep them from moving, then looked at Delu and commented "I take it you have a warrant?"
"We do" Nodding as she tipped towards Natasha's hand, Delu continued "But we also have a check order for you."
"Hoh, and what exactly do I have to do?"
"Strip you."
"Wouldn't it be right to ask me out on a date first? At least buy me a couple of drinks~" raising his eyebrows with a smirk, Christian continued "Although I understand I have the right as a man to ask other men to carry out the procedure. Honestly your look is full of lust, I don't like you."
Laughing, Delu waved her hand with disinterest and commented "I don't like psychopaths with serial killer and massacre causing titles."
"That's weird, I'm kind of attracted to that kind of woman" Rubbing his chin, Christian nodded and rose from his chair, then looked sideways and commented, "And who will be the lucky one to join me?"
Raising his hand, a group of 5 police men stepped forward and surrounded Christian.
"Can I ask you a question?" looking at the police, Christian turned to Delu and continued "Where is the doctor? They are supposed to do the examination, not the police."
"They'll escort you to the doctor."
"Good" Nodding, Christian turned to Natasha and commented "Please save a cup and make me a coffee".
"Yes master"
"Shall we go?" looking at the men with a smile, Christian asked.
"Follow us and don't try anything funny" With broken English, the policeman began to guide the cumin, while Delu frowned slightly at the sight of Christian walking perfectly when he was supposed to be completely injured.
