Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Captured and Forced into Labor
Yusuf Zuck only stayed in Qingdao for one night and talked with old Xu until dawn.
After daybreak, old Xu took him to the train station and helped him buy a ticket for the high-speed train. They agreed to meet on February 28th in Yanggu County because Luciano was set to be released from prison on March 1st, so Yusuf Zuck planned to return a day earlier.
On January 17th, after wandering outside for several days and causing a stir throughout Tokyo, Yusuf Zuck returned to the capital.
His car was still in the airport parking lot, so upon arriving in the capital, he took a taxi straight to the airport.
At two in the afternoon, Yusuf Zuck located his own pickup truck, but as he approached the vehicle’s door to open it, he suddenly furrowed his brows.
Because there were people in the car—two people. One was lying inside, smoking, while the other slept.
Yusuf Zuck paused for a moment, then walked around to the front of the car to check the license plate number.
The plate was his own; he hadn’t made a mistake!
"Motherfucker." When he realized he hadn’t made an error, Yusuf Zuck erupted in fury. What kind of bastard takes someone else’s vehicle for a motel?
With a "snap", Yusuf Zuck opened the car door, and then noticed that the door showed no signs of being forced.
"Get out!" As soon as he opened the door, Yusuf Zuck’s hand reached out and grabbed the collar of the man smoking, and when he gave a strong tug, the man was yanked out, hitting his head on the door.
The other person was startled awake, and after seeing Yusuf Zuck’s face clearly, he exclaimed, "Yusuf Zuck, don’t hit me, don’t hit me, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, we were here specifically to wait for you!"
"Get out and put on your shoes!" Yusuf Zuck shouted with a frown. These two sons of bitches took off their shoes, one to smoke and the other to sleep, filling the car with a stench that made him want to vomit.
"Alright, I’m getting out, I’m getting out, just don’t hit me!" The man with the injured head said, looking like he might take a swing at Yusuf Zuck, but in the end, he didn’t dare.
As the man jumped out and crouched down to put on his shoes, Yusuf Zuck sat down in the driver’s seat, started the car, and opened all four windows to air it out.
"Which department are you guys from?" Yusuf Zuck had already guessed which department these two men belonged to.
"We are with Russ Trujillo, Trujillo is from the same department, and the reason we..."
Without waiting for the man to finish, Yusuf Zuck hit the gas, and the car sped off. He didn’t care which department you were from; he didn’t want to get involved with these people, and besides, he had important things to handle. These people were looking for him, and it was unlikely to be for anything good.
He considered himself a lone wolf, not wanting to get too entangled with any organizations or powers.
The man just stood there with his mouth agape, watching as Yusuf Zuck sped away!
"Shit, what an act," the other man cursed.
"Can you beat him?" one asked the other.
"No, I can’t!"
"That’s why he has the gall to act like that! Let’s just report the truth to our superiors. It’s enough to know that he’s back."
After leaving the airport parking lot, Yusuf Zuck turned on his other cell phone. He had two phones—one for internal and the other for external communication.
Once the phone was on, he immediately called Marlon Shepherd.
He had no choice; Marlon Shepherd was the most core and important member of his team.
"Boss, I’ll be back the day after tomorrow. It’ll take two more days here in Australia, and I think there’s no major problem, it’s worth investing in. You should be able to make a fortune this time." As soon as the call connected, Marlon Shepherd reported about the mineral resources in Australia, which he had gone to inspect alongside the team and the fat horse.
"Mm, just make the decision yourself, but pay attention to safety, and make sure all the procedures are legal. Don’t engage in commercial bribery. In short, do everything according to local practices. If it really can’t be done, then pull out, understood?" Yusuf Zuck didn’t want to be caught on technicalities in the future, so he especially instructed Marlon Shepherd. After all, the investment over there was a major one, and he couldn’t afford to take that risk.
"I’m aware of the situation."
"You’re getting married on the 22nd, right? Have your wife give me a call later; I’d like to meet her and see if she needs any help!" Yusuf Zuck felt uneasy, as Marlon Shepherd should be in the capital arranging his wedding, especially with only five days left until the ceremony.
"Sure, I’m afraid there will be a lot of tasks to help with." Marlon Shepherd responded bluntly.
"Mhm."
The two then hung up, after which Yusuf Zuck called Ariel Higgins.
It took a full minute before Ariel Higgins answered her phone, and it was unclear what she was busy with.
"I’m back." As soon as the call connected, Yusuf Zuck reported his whereabouts.
"Good to have you back." Ariel Higgins took a deep breath and replied.
"Lucy Clayton had a few wives and kids, right? Where are they all? Get ready, let’s go see them." Lucy Clayton had died, leaving behind a wife and children, so it fell to Yusuf Zuck to take care of them, and he had to do so.
"You don’t need to bother with that. The kids are still small and don’t understand the situation. I already visited them yesterday, and there’s no need to worry about their living expenses; brother Clayton had prepared enough money for them to spend!"
"Money is the least of concerns." Yusuf Zuck thought for a moment and added, "Clayton is gone, and I’ve met his wives; they’re all still young. It’s impossible to say they won’t find someone new in the future, but what about the children if they do?"
"You’re very thoughtful." Ariel Higgins said softly, "Don’t worry, brother Clayton has made arrangements. They can all find someone new to start life with, but the children can’t go with them. If they find new partners, then I’ll take care of the children."
"You?" Yusuf Zuck was taken aback.
"What’s the matter? Is that not okay?" Ariel Higgins suddenly laughed and said, "I’m the CEO and CFO of brother Clayton’s company, and I also have a lawyer’s license. So, I’ll handle all these matters, and... his affairs, I might have to take over. In the future... if there’s anything Mr. Zuck could assist with, I hope Mr. Zuck will lend a hand!"
"As long as it’s within the bounds of the law, I can help." Yusuf Zuck was smart, and he knew Ariel Higgins was smart too. However, smart people sometimes used their cleverness to do foolish, or even wrong, things.
Therefore, Yusuf Zuck made himself clear from the outset—if Ariel Higgins was doing the right thing, he would help in any way he could, but if she was constantly fighting and doing bad things, then he wouldn’t help.
"Mhm, don’t worry. Taking over his operations doesn’t mean I’ll follow his old path. The company is large and profitable, there’s no need to do anything illegal!"
"Glad you understand. Whenever you need me in the future, I’ll be there without question!" Yusuf Zuck nodded in agreement.
"Thank you." They both hung up. Just as Yusuf Zuck ended the call, his phone rang again. It was a call from Collins Brown, Marlon Shepherd’s wife.
"Collins, I’m so sorry, really sorry." Yusuf Zuck apologized as soon as he answered the call.
"You’re conscripting my husband into service, so I’m going to conscript you into service as well." Leila Brown fumed.
"No problem, what do you need me to do?" Yusuf Zuck replied with a laugh.
"I’m too busy on my end, and I have a lot of classmates. My husband also has many relatives and classmates who might be coming over these next few days. I won’t have time to pick them up, so this major task is yours now. After picking them up, you’ll need to arrange hotels for them to stay in. I haven’t even booked the hotels yet; it’s so frustrating. It’s all your fault—with him not here, how can I manage this alone?"
"Alright, alright, I’ll handle the hotel bookings and picking people up. But have you booked the hotel for the wedding? Have you taken care of the wedding planner, the host, the fleet of cars, and the like? Have you bought the bride and groom’s clothes?"
"You seem to know your stuff. However, I’ve taken care of all of these things. The hotel is booked too, a five-star one. All you need to do now is to be ready to answer my calls at any time and pick people up at the airport, train station, or highway exits when they arrive. Not bothering the big boss like you would just upset me!"
"No problem, work me as much as you like. I’m not tied up with anything major right now, and I have a lot of brothers, all at your command! Also... here’s what we’ll do: I will send some people over to you, both men and women, and they’ll all follow your orders. They won’t do anything else but help you with the wedding preparations!"
