Chapter 102 Continuing to Show Affection (7)
Qin Jiran sat beside Old Master Su, his back ramrod straight, listening more than talking and diligently pouring water. As he listened, shock swelled within him, beyond description.
Who exactly were these people coming to Old Master Su’s birthday celebration? Why did their conversation span such a broad range that it made him feel as though they were from a different world?
Private jets, private islands, luxury yachts—it seemed normal, given the Su family’s wealth which could rival countries.
Smuggling, arms trade, drugs—these too weren’t surprising, he already knew the Su family’s business wasn’t all aboveboard.
But why were there discussions on intelligence from other countries, mercenaries, and wars? He knew that many countries were embroiled in conflict, but what did that have to do with the Su family?
What left Qin Jiran speechless was that most of the aforementioned topics involved gifts these guests had brought for Old Master Su’s birthday. That honestly left him at a loss for words.
"Old Master Su, my father has been closely monitored by the International Police Force lately, which is why he couldn’t come to wish you himself. Please don’t mind that. Here is the gift my father asked me to bring, hoping you won’t find it lacking." The speaker was a Chinese-American mix, rumored to be the heir to an underground auction. He presented Old Master Su with a box.
"Corey, I’ve watched your father grow up; there’s no need for formalities. Tell him to be careful. If there’s business he can’t do, then don’t do it. As long as he has enough money to spend, that’s good." Old Master Su signaled Qin Jiran to open the box, which contained a document and a golden card.
Qin Jiran glanced at it; the document was about a small oil tanker, likely Old Master Su’s birthday gift. But he didn’t know what the golden card was for.
"Yes, I’ll tell my father. He often says the same, it’s just that some things take time to transition." Corey obviously agreed with Old Master Su, nodding vigorously, his demeanor unusually stiff and formal compared to many mixed-race individuals raised abroad.
