Chapter 8 It's me.

The pretty girl refilled Mr. Lee's glass again and again. A moment later, his face was turning red.

"Mr. Lee, regarding the land in the south of the city, I heard that it belongs to your father-in-law, right?"

After some greetings, Ryan cut to the chase.

Drunk slightly, Mr. Lee was speaking slowly, "So you are interested in it too. To be honest, I'm not surprised. Too many people are eyeing it. It is said that the land is worth this much on auction."

Saying this, Mr. Lee held up his index finger.

Ryan guessed tentatively, "Ten million?"

Mr. Lee sneered, proud as if the land belonged to him, "Ten million? You are too naive. My father-in-law said at least one billion."

Suddenly, everyone present was silent in the room.

Sensing the atmosphere was getting stiff, the beauty hurried to refill Mr. Lee's glass.

Daniel and Ryan exchanged eye contact without saying a word.

It was ridiculous to buy a piece of suburban land with one billion.

Besides, the price was totally beyond their budget.

As for other businessmen, they didn't dare to speak at all. They could barely make a billion a year, let alone purchase such a high-risk land.

Yet someone asked out of curiosity. "But Mr. Lee, I know that your father-in-law isn't a property giant. Why can he sell this land at such a high price?"

Hearing this, Mr. Lee raised his eyelids lazily, "That's easy. Someone is supporting my father-in-law behind, a really influential one."

At this moment, Daniel already got the information he needed. He raised his glass and said, "Mr. Lee, cheers."

A few drinks later, Mr. Lee left with the beauty while Daniel and Ryan stayed with other managers.

As businessmen from other companies left as well, a manager parted his lips.

"Mr. Bruce, with all due respect, I want to tell you my opinions. We have been working in the Bruce Group for so many years. Now we are old and we just want to enjoy our peaceful life..."

It was Mr. Wong speaking. When Grandpa Bruce started the business, he was the most capable and loyal one. Daniel had always respected him.

Daniel knew his meaning perfectly. Reluctant to take risks, he just wanted to retire and enjoyed his life.

But in this way, the interest of the company might be jeopardized.

Ryan saw this and tried to ease the atmosphere, "Mr. Wong, you are underestimating us. Daniel and I will take care of it successfully. No worries are necessary."

But Mr. Wong still looked worried.

As they almost finished the conversation, they were ready to leave.

"Let go of me! Who are you? Stop it! Ah…"

A girl was screaming, piercing the silence and her voice sounded so familiar...

Daniel frowned.

Before he moved, another heavy crackling came from the room not far away.

Suddenly, seeming to realize something, Daniel sprinted and hurried towards that room.

The moment he opened the door, with a simple glimpse from inside, he went furious with coldness in his eyes. He pulled away the man who was cornering the girl in the wheelchair.

The next moment, he punched that man right on his face.

"Mr. Lee?" Ryan was stunned and immediately stepped forward to stop Daniel from beating him up.

Shivering out of fear, Chloe was sitting in the wheelchair. While Lisa was standing beside her, her hair messy like crazy.

Seeing Daniel, Lisa shouted as if she had seen the savior, "Mr. Bruce, please help us! This fat man wants to molest Chloe, and he is so horrible!"

Annoyed by Lisa's sharp shrill, Ryan couldn't help saying, "Easy! Can you please keep your voice down and speak slowly?"

"Ryan!" Daniel stopped him. He looked still perfect with the creased shirt hem.

However, Mr. Lee got bruised on his face and looked like a clown. Now that he got sober in pain, he lowered his voice and hesitated, "Mr...Mr. Bruce, why are you…?"

Facing Daniel's angry stare, Mr. Lee was too scared to finish his sentence.

Daniel looked so intimidating right now. Mr. Lee didn't get it. He was just flirting with some girl and at that moment, he felt Daniel could kill him easily with his anger.

"Mr. Lee, she is my sister. No one can touch her!" Daniel said in a very cold tone.

Mr. Lee shook his head in a hurry, "I…I didn't know. Mr. Bruce. Forgive me, please. I haven't done anything yet."

Ryan sneered, "I am afraid it will be too late if you did something."

Mr. Lee lowered his head, afraid to speak.

Everyone knew how capable Daniel was. He could be so ruthless and resolute.

Hearing that the girl he flirted with was Daniel's sister, Mr. Lee knew he was going to suffer.

Daniel didn't say anything. He took off his coat and covered Chloe.

Chloe was frightened earlier. So as she saw someone leaning closer to her, she subconsciously tried to hide.

A ghost of sorrow crossed Daniel's eyes. He paused for a moment and continued, "Don't be afraid now. It's me."

These words were exactly what Chloe needed now. She looped Daniel's neck hard, "Thank god. You are here! I was almost scared to death!"

At that time, even Chloe herself didn't realize how much she relied on Daniel.

Daniel carried Chloe gently. Before he left, he said coldly, "Mr. Lee, this isn't over."

Lisa followed them closely, with their bags and the wheelchair.

The car was waiting outside the club.

Daniel carefully placed Chloe in the rear seat and turned to Lisa.

Lisa was flustered by his freezing gaze and hurriedly explained, "I am sorry, Mr. Bruce. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have come here with Chloe."

Angry as he was, Daniel wasn't used to losing temper on ladies.

Finally, he said, "How much did you drink?"

"Ah?" Lisa was stunned since she was waiting for the deadly storm.

"He asked how much wine you drank. Did you go to high school or not? Or you can't speak English?" Ryan shook his head hopelessly.
