“Well, stop it! Let’s eat.” Hinds Wang felt unhappy. It was Eveline Peng who wanted to embarrass herself. Nobody could help her.
“I’m full!”
“Bang!”
Eveline threw the chopsticks on the table and left without any word.
“Don’t mind her. Let’s eat.” Hinds shook his head and smiled.
Hinds glanced at Robin Zhou several times. He thought he had already overestimated Robin, but the truth was he underestimated it.
This son-in-law of Brown’s Family from City C was outstanding.
Robin not only got the business by himself but also forced Gaspar Li to comply with him. It meant Robin was not ordinary.
As soon as Eveline left, Sonya Wang had no appetite anymore. She ate a little rice and left the table.
Gaspar also left with an excuse for his businesses in the company.
It should have been an excellent banquet to celebrate. However, only two people were on the dinner table, Robin and Hinds. They could have a quiet meal.
Today, Hinds felt happy and drank a lot of wine. A few moments later, he got drunk.
Hinds became emotional and couldn’t help recalling the hard years. He talked to Robin a lot about the past years with John Brown in City Z.
Robin smiled and listened to Hinds quietly.
It was evident that Hinds missed the past years. He treated John as his brother.
At the moment, Robin couldn’t help thinking of the broken leg of John.
John mentioned, his leg was broken in City Z, but John refused to impart who broke it.
It seemed that those who broke John’s leg was powerful. Thus, John dared not mention it.
“Uncle Wang, may I ask you a question?” Robin finally decided to ask Hinds.
“You want to know who broke your dad’s leg, right?” Hinds paused as if he had expected that Robin would ask this question.
“Yes.” Robin nodded.
Hinds felt hesitant. After a long time, he glared at Robin and sighed, “Robin, if I tell you I broke your father’s legs, will you believe it?”
Robin was astonished that Hinds broke John’s leg.
It was impossible!
“It sounds unbelievable, right?” Hinds said with a bitter smile.
“Yes.” After taking a deep breath, Robin calmly said, “Why uncle Wang broke my dad’s leg? I guess you had your difficulties.”
“Alas……”
Hinds sighed, “It’s been a long time. Is this important?”
“It’s important!” Robin said thoughtfully, “I must know how his leg was broken.”
“Well, since you are eager to know it, I’ll tell you.”
“I indeed broke John’s leg, but I had no choice at that time. If I didn’t do it, John might not survive.” Hinds said.
“Someone forced you?” Robin felt angry.
“Yeah.” Hinds nodded.
“Who was it?”
“Dain Wang,” Hinds said.
Robin frowned. Who was Dain Wang?
“You may not hear of Dain.”
“But you must have heard the name of his grandfather.” Hinds sighed.
Robin felt astonished. Who was the most famous one with the family name Wang?
“Duke Wang!” Robin suddenly raised his head and felt confused. How could John and Hinds provoke such a significant force?!
As if knowing what Robin was thinking, Hinds sighed, “John and I did offshore business. Thus, it was inevitable to have relations with Duke Wang.
Robin nodded. Wang’s Family was a significant power of offshore businesses. In Country C, Wang’s Family built most of the cargo ships.
In addition to cargo ships, Wang’s Family also controlled the foreign trade business of Country C. Wang’s Family conducted everything connected to the sea.
Hinds and John were likely to work on businesses such as maritime trade, but Wang’s Family controlled it since ancient times. If other people would like to intervene, they must get the permission of Wang’s Family.
“At that time, John and I just came here and were not familiar with City Z. I heard that the sea trade business had a good prospect, so John and I bought a boat and prepared to do offshore businesses.”
“Two days later, our ship was burned.”
“It was because we didn’t visit Wang’s Family before we sailed.”
“John and I were angry at the time. We were so stupid and didn’t know what Wang’s Family meant in City Z. We hit those who burned the boat.”
“The next day, Dain showed up and said that one of those we hit was his cousin.”
“At that time, Dain gave us two choices, breaking our legs or being killed!”
Robin smiled coldly. Dain was so arrogant at that time. Hinds and John hit Dain’s cousin, but Dain was about to break their legs. It was Dain’s cousin who burnt their boat at first.
“After Dain said this, I knew that John and I had no choice.”
“If we didn’t kneel, we will never see the sun the next day.”
“Finally, I knelt.”
“But John didn’t kneel, and he was very stubborn. Even if Dain pointed at his head with a gun, he would not kneel…”
Hinds stopped here. After a while, he sighed, “Finally, I broke John’s leg and forced him to kowtow to Dain three times. In this way, Dain felt satisfied”.
“After Dain left, John also left City Z.”
“Soon, I heard the news of John’s marriage.”
Hinds did not continue, but Robin probably understood what happened later.
John was initially ambitious, but he became decadent after being hit by Dain.
John went back and got married. He started to live an ordinary life.
However, Hinds was still full of ambitions. In two decades, he worked hard and started his career.
The two took a different path.
Robin finally understood why Hinds was so nice to him.
