Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1444 - 1443
Previously on Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God...
Rick is more than qualified to say this; he didn’t listen to Lin Fan and suffered greatly, the wounds on his hands still hurting like hell.
He’s kindly reminding Morgan Smith not to repeat his mistakes.
If he doesn’t listen, the next moment this big white guy’s hand might be pierced by Lin Fan’s flying knife, like a bullet.
Morgan Smith observed Rick and realized Rick’s miserable state, so he understood that no matter who the opponent was, the best choice for him right now, given the unclear situation, was to comply with the opponent.
"Put the gun down," Morgan Smith said to the big white guy.
The big white guy could only comply, squat down, and place the gun on the ground.
By the time he stood back up, Lin Fan had appeared.
"Please, kick the gun over here."
Lin Fan was holding a gun, which to those unaware of Lin Fan’s capabilities, was undoubtedly the simplest and most effective threat.
Sure enough, seeing the gun, the big white guy obediently kicked his gun over.
"Who are you?"
Morgan Smith stared at Lin Fan, asking, unfazed despite the gun pointed at him, realizing that Lin Fan being Asian hinted at involvement with Li Zixia.
Lin Fan said: "Morgan Smith, a London tycoon, descended from the noble Smith Clan, though now merely a fringe relative, just barely related to them by blood. Initially, your family declined, and during your childhood, lived in the East District Slums. Unwilling to remain mediocre, your talent and knack for scheming led you to become a rising star in the tech world, earning your first fortune at a young age. You leveraged your slight blood relationship with the Smith Clan perfectly, clinging to their leg to achieve prosperity, now a wealthy elite in London, owning a mansion in the West District worth over a billion Euros. The tech company you founded is thriving. These are all accessible online, shouldn’t be wrong, right?"
In some ways, Morgan Smith could be considered a model of inspiration, rising against odds despite a poor background, his tech company now among the top ten in the United Kingdom, opposing Allen’s AP company.
Morgan Smith and Allen Scott are quite the old rivals.
Allen, well aware of his rival’s character, knew this man was ruthless and bold. Without such drive, it would be difficult for a slum boy to rise to wealth in the West District.
When Allen saw Morgan Smith on the auction room list, he told Lin Fan that if anyone were to kidnap Li Zixia in London, Morgan Smith was highly suspect.
Morgan Smith’s motto is to do the most valuable things at the lowest cost.
Kidnapping Li Zixia and seizing her technology is indeed very low-cost, if successful.
Morgan Smith stared at Lin Fan: "What do you want to do? Be direct, let’s get straight to the point, don’t waste my time."
Lin Fan said, "Good, I don’t like beating around the bush either. Mr. Rick has explained to me that you instructed him to kidnap Li Zixia. Do you admit it?"
Morgan Smith chuckled: "What, are you a cop?"
Lin Fan said: "You’re not dumb; you should see I’m not a cop, right? Let’s be direct then. We have two sayings in Huaxia, ’Honest people don’t talk in riddles,’ ’Open the skylight and speak the bright words.’"
Morgan Smith snorted: "Yes, I asked him to invite Miss Li for a meeting, so what? Can’t I invite her for a meeting? Even if you are a cop, you can’t use this to arrest me."
Lin Fan said: "You’re not honest. The head of an underground force sent two underlings, broke into Li Zixia’s home, and forcibly took her away. You call that inviting her for a meeting? If it were your daughter, would you think this was normal?"
Morgan Smith said: "Kid, you’re neither a cop nor a lawyer. Let me be frank: Even if you report and arrest me, I’ll end up safe. As long as I insist I invited her for a meeting, all the violence you mentioned was Rick’s doing alone. Even if it goes to court, you won’t win the case; I have the best lawyers in London."
Lin Fan: "..."
Morgan Smith said: "I see you’re not ordinary. You managed to subdue Rick, track me down, and successfully lure me here. What do you want to do? Revenge on me? Kill me, you’re a murderer; hurt me, you’re committing a crime; don’t think you’ll leave Yun City alive. You investigated me, so you should know about my relationship with the Smith family."
Lin Fan: "..."
Morgan Smith saw Lin Fan silent, thinking he had already intimidated Lin Fan, said: "Now I give you a chance, leave quietly, and I’ll act like this never happened. I won’t ask you where Li Zixia is, how she is, all these matters erased. Consider whether this is the most ideal move for you all."
His tone was as if granting Lin Fan a favor, letting Lin Fan go, Lin Fan should be grateful to him, and Li Zixia too.
Indeed, arrogant people always maintain their superiority over others, worthy of those with Smith family noble blood, even their farts louder than the average person’s.
According to Morgan Smith’s original plan, he indeed wanted to find Li Zixia and at minimal cost, obtain technology from her.
He found the Rick Brothers; firstly, he had done favors for Rick before, knowing Rick well and being relatively assured. Secondly, the Rick Brothers typically engaged in shady dealings like forging documents; having them grab someone, even if reported, police would find it hard to suspect Rick.
If absolutely necessary, in case the police investigate deeply and involve him, he would use some connections to stop the investigation in London. Besides, Li Zixia is an Asian girl; white police officers wouldn’t invest much attention anyhow.
You could say, according to Morgan Smith’s original plan, it was a most prudent plan.
The only concern was getting outdone by others since Li Zixia’s identity was exposed in the auction room, and there might be others plotting.
He indeed faced disappointment; Rick informed him they were a step behind, Li Zixia was gone.
Morgan Smith, trusting Rick, coupled with being busy with other matters at the time, didn’t put much thought into it.
Tonight, he suddenly received Rick’s call saying they caught Li Zixia, reminding him of the issue.
Also due to his trust in Rick, he ordered Rick to bring Li Zixia over.
Unexpectedly, he fell into a trap.
However, Morgan Smith wasn’t scared at all; his demeanor had already suppressed Lin Fan, reversing the roles.
Thinking it through, there’s no way Lin Fan could outmatch him. That’s right, his promise to drop the matter was already a favor to Lin Fan.
