As soon as Jian Ai finished speaking, she saw Hans walking towards them with a smile on his face. Beside him was an excited Snow.
In the middle of this group of burly men, Snow’s existence was abrupt and eye-catching. He was also very muscular, but he was the kind of muscular that most European men were. He was not like the others present, whose muscles were about to burst their clothes.
Especially his eyes. They were pure and bright, clean without a trace of impurities.
When they got closer, Hans looked at them and smiled. “I didn’t serve you well. Please forgive me!”
Jian Ai quickly said, “Leader Hans, you’re too polite. It’s not a wasted trip to see so many core members of the mercenary group.”
Hans immediately laughed loudly and introduced them. “Let me introduce you. This is my son, Snow. He’s studying in a university in Rome, but who knew that there would be guests at home, so he ran back today!”
Snow immediately leaned over and bowed like a gentleman before reaching out to shake Jian Ai’s and the rest’s hands. This was because he knew that Chinese etiquette was to shake hands and not touch faces. This action was obviously to show his respect for Chinese guests.
However, after shaking hands with Jian Ai, Yu Wuyuan, and Zhi Tong, it was Yun Buyao’s turn. Snow’s eyes lit up, and he said without hiding, “Your hair is so beautiful!”
Yun Buyao had shoulder-length light green hair, which was also one of her personal characteristics. Hearing this, Yun Buyao couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile. She looked at Snow and said, “Why? Am I not beautiful?”
“No, no…” Snow’s eyes lit up. “You’re prettier.”
Yun Buyao could not help but smile smugly. Unexpectedly, Snow took advantage of the handshake and bent down slightly to kiss the back of Yun Buyao’s hand.
This was also typical European etiquette, so Yun Buyao did not resist. However, it was obvious that the etiquette she received was different from others.
Seeing this, Jian Ai couldn’t help but lower her head. Fortunately, Snow didn’t look like a pervert. Otherwise, it would be easy for people to misunderstand.
“Jian, can I talk to you alone?” Hans suddenly looked at Jian Ai.
Foreigners always had a first name and a last name. Therefore, after knowing Jian Ai’s name, Hans thought her name was Jian and called her that.
Jian Ai didn’t care about this. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but look up at Hans. Seeing his serious expression, she knew their guesses were going to be addressed.
She nodded gently. Under such circumstances, she did not seem to have any room to refuse.
In a study on the second floor of the villa, Jian Ai and Hans were sitting opposite each other. Outside the window was an endless night and a bright moon. Compared to yesterday, tonight was an extremely clear night.
“Jian, I can tell you’re a straightforward person. I have something to say!” Hans sat in front of Jian Ai, looking like a mountain under Jian Ai’s petite figure.
Jian Ai’s expression softened, and she nodded. “Please speak, Leader Hans.”
Hans immediately sighed softly. “Jian, as you can see, there are over three thousand people in my mercenary group. There are also some guards who don’t have the ability to carry out missions. My subordinates have to eat, buy weapons, ammunition, and some necessary expenses in their professions. In a year, these expenses can be said to be an astronomical figure.”
“The brothers are risking their lives. As the leader, I only take twenty percent of the commission and leave the rest to them. The reason the organization can still operate steadily is that someone is funding it.”
“We, an international organization, basically have a so-called rich man behind us. However, after this incident, I’ve already offended my rich man. He didn’t completely trust me in the first place. After failing this mission one after another, he probably won’t believe us anymore!”
When Jian Ai heard this, she seemed to have heard some clues. She couldn’t help but look at Hans and say, “Leader Hans, don’t tell me you want me to sponsor your mercenary group?”
Jian Ai was shocked by her own words.
In all honesty, she was just a good businessman in China. She built houses and filmed movies to earn some money. It was impossible for her to be related to an international terrorist organization!
Moreover, even if she wanted to be related, she was lacking in financial strength. She had some money, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it might be an astronomical amount of savings.
However, if they funded the mercenary group, it would probably not be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
“Leader Hans, you think too highly of me. I have no money!” Jian Ai laid her cards on the table. She had no money!
Even if she had money, she could not sponsor a mercenary group. What a joke!
Seeing Jian Ai’s reaction, Hans couldn’t help but smile helplessly. “Jian, you’ve misunderstood. Why would I let a teenage child like you sponsor us?”
“What do you mean?” Jian Ai asked.
Hans said bluntly, “I want you to help us pull strings with Prince Bai Zhou!”
“Bai Zhou?”
Jian Ai was shocked, and her tone changed.
However, on second thought, it was indeed more reasonable to find Bai Zhou!
Hans nodded. “I know that Prince Bai Zhou is the second heir of Yale in Qiusi. His status is incomparably noble, and he has endless wealth. Moreover, as you can see, Prince Bai Zhou’s current situation is not safe. There are people who want to kill him in the dark. Moreover, with his identity and the level of chaos in the Qiusi royal family, no one can guarantee that he will not encounter such a situation in the future.”
“Therefore, as long as he will sponsor our mercenary group, our entire mercenary group will serve him as his invisible hand hidden in the dark corners of this world!”
Therefore, Hans’ goal was clear. He treated Jian Ai and the rest so warmly because he wanted Jian Ai to help form a connection between his mercenary group and Bai Zhou, and find the next rich man for them.
This matter seemed to be as simple as Hans had said, but in reality, it was much more complicated.
If it were her, Jian Ai would refuse without hesitation because she was just a Chinese businessman. She might never face an assassination in her life.
However, Bai Zhou was different. Just as Hans had said, the more noble one’s status was, the more dangerous it was to live in this world.
However, Jian Ai could not help Bai Zhou make this decision. After all, Hans’s side was an assassin organization. Whether or not he wanted to be related to them, Bai Zhou had to decide himself.
“Leader Hans is right. Bai Zhou is indeed very, very rich!” Jian Ai highlighted Bai Zhou’s wealth.
Because Bai Zhou had told her she could not imagine how rich he was.
“I’ll convey your words to him,” Jian Ai said.
