Chapter 171 Meeting with Wren Tanaka (2/2)

Morris Liu slightly bowed his head as his eyes briefly closed. ”Mr. Tanaka.”

”Hehe, come, take a seat.” Sounding friendly as ever, Wren Tanaka gestured for them to take a seat. Alas, when his gaze landed at the long sofa whom a lying person wrapped with a white blanket occupying the whole long couch— the corner of his lips twitched.

”Hehe, don't mind that person there.” Laughing it off, Wren Tanaka awkwardly waved his hands off.

Morris Liu nodded his head without a word and as instructed, he sat at the single-seater that was across the head seat where Wren Tanaka perched.

Meanwhile, Chris Yu stood on the side like how a bodyguard would do. He only glanced at the person lying on the long couch yet, with that one glance, he became warier.

Staring at the icy man across him, Wren Tanaka sighed and then frowned. ”CEO Liu, didn't I tell you no weapons?” His statement evidently confused Chris Yu while Morris Liu didn't react— not one bit.

After a beat, Morris Liu responded, ”Mr. Tanaka, I didn't.”

”Hehe, I am not referring to guns or daggers. I meant that man over there.” Wren Tanaka thrust his chin as he pointed it at Chris Yu's direction. He added as he leisurely propped his jaw on the back of his hand.

”Humans can be deadly too, you know.”

Upon hearing Wren Tanaka's statement, Morris Liu finally had a change of expression as he subtly smirked. It was alluring, yet, someone like Wren knew that he was someone to be wary about.

”Indeed. My apologies but… I need a little protection as well. I hope you understand.”

”Hahaha! Nice!” Instead of being offended, Wren Tanaka heartily laughed as he was completely amused. Surely, Morris Liu was an interesting man just like what thought.

”Don't worry, I don't mind. Let's get down to business, hmmm…” Setting that matters aside, Wren Tanaka rubbed his chin as he pondered. After a second, even before Morris Liu could start whatever deal he was about to propose, Wren Tanaka spoke again.

”You know, Mr. Liu, I keep my business very very clean— you probably know that already when I didn't invite you to my, I mean the Yue event.”

”This is a clean business, Mr. Tanaka.” Without leaving his gaze on Wren's figure, Morris Liu blankly stated.

”Clean? Hmmm, let's see... You are indeed doing clean business but, the Liu Empire's history is not clean at all, am I right? As far as I know, a powerful group still held you by the neck… I don't want to be entangled by this mess— my life's been pretty chaotic lately, thanks to a certain someone.” Raising his tone with his last sentence, Wren seemed he wanted that certain someone to hear his sarcasm.

”Years ago, a normal employee was sentenced to death by his employer for being a whistleblower. That man died but, one year later, a certain businessman, who looks exactly like that employee rose out of nowhere. No history, no family— just a wealthy man.” Instead of confirming Wren's words, Morris Liu started talking about a story he knew.

When Morris Liu was done, Wren's interest was entirely piqued. Straightening his back, he peered at Morris Liu's stoic expression with fascination.

”You are indeed a smart man. Only a few know that… tsk tsk tsk, no wonder you are in such a predicament— you know a lot that you shouldn't. No wonder you have to push Miss Yang away.”
