Like businessmen such as Giovanny, who were always cautious, even though he didn’t believe Leo’s words, he still had some reservations in his heart.
“Mr. Guzman, what do you think? You’ve come all this way, and you can’t just ignore the land plot, right?”
“If you don’t go, Mr. Fox and I will have no face left,” Ronald said with a smile on his face, but there was clear pressure in his tone.
“We definitely have to visit, but there’s no rush. Let’s go tomorrow morning, alright?” Giovanny thought for a moment and slightly postponed the time.
“No problem,” Noel and Ronald couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as Giovanny was willing to visit the land, it meant there was still hope.
After lunch, Giovanny immediately called his assistant and instructed, “Immediately have someone bring my regular S90 car over. I’ll ride it to visit the land tomorrow morning.”
“Alright, Mr. Guzman,” the assistant nodded respectfully.
Giovanny’s S90 car was a limited edition custom-made car, with the highest safety rating among all cars.
“Honey, I think you’re just too nervous. That country bumpkin scared you with a few words?” Ally lounged on the sofa, painting her nails, pouting as she spoke.
“It’s not that I’m scared by him. It’s just better to be cautious in everything, especially when we’re away from home,” Giovanny said with a serious face.
“I want to go with you tomorrow,” Ally coquettishly said.
“No, I’m going for business, not for leisure!” Giovanny firmly refused.
It was his principle never to involve women when it came to real business negotiations.
The next morning, dark clouds covered the sky, and the gloominess seemed to seep through the paper like ink.
Leo saw the weather and knew that there would be heavy rain. He called Shiloh and told her not to come today, as he would personally take care of the consultations.
Just after Leo finished the call, a muffled thunder sounded, followed by heavy raindrops pouring down.
“The weather forecast is really accurate. It said there would be heavy rain today, and indeed, luckily I collected all the dried herbs last night,” Chasel said as he looked at the downpour outside.
Because of the heavy rain, there were no patients in the clinic, so Leo and Chasel decided to watch TV in the lobby.
At that moment, outside the Intercontinental Hotel, four black cars with municipal license plates were parked.
Noel, Ronald, and other leaders from the municipal government stood under the eaves, seeking shelter from the rain.
“Mr. Fox, it’s pouring heavily today. Should we postpone it?” Ronald looked up at the pouring rain and suggested.
“I asked the meteorological bureau, and it will calm down soon,” Noel turned to Ronald, “Mayor, it’s better to finish the matter early. If we don’t go today, what if he changes his mind?”
“That’s true,” Ronald nodded, deeply agreeing.
“Mr. Fox, Mayor, sorry for keeping you waiting,” Giovanny hurriedly walked over, holding an umbrella, and apologized.
“It’s alright,” Noel waved his hand, “Shall we go?”
“Sure,” Giovanny agreed, “I won’t ride in your car. I’ll take my own car.”
After saying that, he and his assistant immediately got into his extremely safe custom car.
Noel and Ronald also quickly got into the car with the others and instructed the convoy to depart.
Since the land plot was located on the outskirts of Langstel, the travel time was inevitably longer.
In the car, Noel couldn’t help but think of Leo’s words that night, and he couldn’t control the uneasiness in his heart.
When they arrived at their destination, the rain had lessened significantly.
After strolling around with an umbrella, Giovanny was very satisfied with the land plot.
To be fair, this plot was indeed better than the one Carren had offered.
Backed by the mountains and facing the sea, it had greater development value.
Giovanny couldn’t help but waver in his heart.
In addition, Langstel is an international metropolis, and compared to the prefectural city Carren, it has some advantages.
“Mr. Guzman, I didn’t deceive you, right? Carren’s land plot is by the lake, while ours is by the sea. Which one has more advantages, it’s clear at a glance, right?” Noel stood on high ground, looking at the misty sea in the distance, and said proudly.
“That’s right, this land plot is indeed good. If the economy can keep up in the future, it definitely has great potential,” Giovanny nodded in satisfaction. “It seems that I really need to consider it carefully.”
“Well, Mr. Guzman, you should consider it thoroughly. Let’s go back now. We can catch the luncheon,” Noel knew from Giovanny’s words that there was a chance, and he had a smile on his face.
After getting in the car, Giovanny also let out a sigh of relief. He reached out and touched the jade pendant on his chest, cursing inwardly, “Damn it, you almost scared me!”
When he was looking at the land just now, he was feeling uneasy, afraid that something like a landslide or tsunami might suddenly occur, but nothing happened.
Now, sitting in the car with the highest safety rating, nothing could possibly go wrong.
Giovanny leaned back in the back seat, poured himself a glass of red wine, and slowly savored it.
At this moment, the drizzle suddenly intensified, and a large truck in front of them skidded and swerved into their lane.
Giovanny’s driver’s face changed suddenly, and he slammed on the brakes.
However, due to the slippery road, the speed didn’t decrease at all, and the front of the car “bang” collided with the side of the truck.
After being hit, the front of the truck veered off and crashed into the roadside guardrail, and both vehicles came to a stop.
The safety technology was indeed well-deserved. After the rear-end collision, the car body barely deformed.
The driver, the assistant, and Giovanny in the car only suffered minor scratches and were not seriously injured.
However, the red wine in Giovanny’s hand was completely spilled.
“Mr. Guzman, are you alright?” the assistant asked in a panic.
Giovanny was still in shock, shaking his head.
Then, he swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and cursed, “Damn it, they wanted my life, but…!”
Before he could finish his words, another out-of-control car crashed into them.
With a loud bang, Giovanny’s head violently hit the front passenger seat.
When he raised his head, his face was filled with horror. He tried to speak but instead coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The broken glass from the shattered wine glass in his hand had lodged in his throat.
“Mr. Guzman! Mr. Guzman!” The assistant was shocked, frantically trying to use a towel to cover Giovanny’s wound.
But the entire glass had pierced Giovanny’s throat, and he didn’t know how to cover it.
In a moment of panic, the assistant could only quickly take out his phone and dial emergency services.
If anything happened to Giovanny, their entire group would be doomed.
“What’s happening up front?” Noel, who was in the car behind them, heard the loud noise and furrowed his brow, asking.
